Mythical Era: I Evolved Into A Stellar-Level Beast

Chapter 81: Breaking through the Third Layer Heaven

It was still that female staff member who greeted Jack Clark enthusiastically when he walked out of the elevator, “Student Clark, are you here to exchange some resources again?”

Jack nodded, “Yes, could you please check how many contribution points 1 have first?”

Last night, after submitting the recording of the battle to verify his individual kills, Jack went to sleep and was still uncertain about the exact number of contribution points he’d earned.

“No problem. Please enter your student ID and verify your face.”

Soon, the female staff member replied with a surprised tone, “Student Clark, you now have a total of thirty-six contribution points.”

No wonder she was surprised. Many trial students had exchanged materials in the morning, with most having around ten contribution points, and only three of them had reached twenty points.

In contrast, Jack had earned thirty-three points, which meant he had killed the most rebels last night.

Thirty-three points, huh?

Jack wasn’t surprised by the gains. Adding the twelve points from the Mutated Black Bull, his total earnings last night should have been forty-five.

This amount was roughly equivalent to half a year’s rewards at school, and that was with the extra income for being ranked 49th in his grade.

Otherwise, under normal circumstances, he couldn’t even get that many contribution points in two semesters.

As the saying goes, one can’t get rich without windfalls, and a horse can’t get fat without grazing at night.

If it weren’t for the fact that everyone was living in the technology era, where cultivators were not accustomed to carrying cash, Jack could have seized even more money from the rebels last night.

With that thought, Jack wondered about the source of funding for the rebels; did they not perform transactions at all?

While racking his brains, Jack politely said, “Can you help me exchange for three Level 2 life crystals?”

A Level 2 life crystal costs fifteen contribution points. After an 80% discount, it costs twelve points, and Jack’s contribution points were just enough to exchange for three crystals.

The levels of life crystals are determined by the mutated beasts they come from. Those from Level 2 beasts contain more and purer life energy, and they are therefore much more expensive.

However, Jack’s group hadn’t found any life crystals in the Mutated Beast they had killed last night.

According to the information Jack had learned, the rate of life crystal production was very low, and only the extremely powerful mutated beasts of the same level would have them in their bodies, such as Level 1 Peak or Level 2 Peak beasts.

It was tested that when a Level 2 Peak Mutated Beast made a breakthrough and advanced to a Level 3 Mutated Beast, the life crystals inside its body would dissolve and disappear.

That’s because the energy of life crystals formed had been used for its breakthrough, which was very similar to how Avatars evolve after accumulating enough evolution value.

Similarly, after breaking through an evolution, everything needs to be consumed and accumulated again.

Compared to these mutated beasts, the potential of Avatars is greater. For example, each evolution can absorb the characteristics of creatures and turn them into talents, and there is no bottleneck in evolution.

Like cultivators breaking through realms, mutated beasts can also get stuck when trying to break through their levels. Many mutated beasts fail to advance even on their deathbeds.

With three life crystals in hand, Jack rode the elevator back to the eighteenth floor, bumped into Marcus Lee who was on his way out to eat, just as he stepped out of the elevator.

Seeing Jack, Marcus Lee curiously asked, “Jack, 1 heard that you guys killed a Level 3 Mutated Beast last night?”

Jack Clark smiled, “We were just lucky. It was a Mutated Black Bull with average attacking power. Howard Lee, Justin Welan, and 1 managed to kill it together.”

Marcus Lee was speechless, “There you go again saying you were just lucky. Can you stop being so humble? It’s okay to be awesome, you know?”

Jack grumpily retorted, “Nonsense, should 1 boast about how amazing 1 am instead of being humble by crediting it to good luck?”

“Well, why not? If I killed a Level 3 Mutated Beast, I’d definitely brag about it to other classmates.”

Jack Clark shook his head, “Forget it, 1 don’t have a thick skin like you do.”

Since they were both teenagers, neither had the sophistication nor maturity of adults, so Jack and his classmates spoke casually with each other.

After some mutual teasing and banter, Marcus left for the cafeteria while Jack returned to his room.

Justin Welan was already out of the room, leaving Jack alone, which was perfect for him to make a breakthrough.

Compared to Level 1 life crystals, Level 2 life crystals were larger and light blue in color, glinting with dazzling ice-blue glimmers under sunlight.

Jack stared at the life crystals and thought, “Convert all of them into attribute points.”

In an instant, the three crystals turned to dust under the influence of an invisible force, and simultaneously, a row of transparent text appeared before Jack’s eyes.

Three Level 2 life crystals yielded 11,12, and 12 attribute points, accumulating to a total of 35.

In comparison to Level 1 life crystals, the amount of life energy contained in Level 2 life crystals mainly depended on one’s luck, which could add up to one or two extra points.

Seeing the 39 attribute points displayed on the transparent page, Jack felt like he had struck rich overnight, as it was the first time he had accumulated so many attribute points.Taking a deep breath, Jack Clark said solemnly: “Spend 20 attribute points to strengthen the third layer of Dragon Elephant Power.”

As his voice dropped, the Dragon Elephant True Strength in his body suddenly burst into action.

With every cycle of Dragon Elephant True Strength, Jack’s muscles and skin were strengthened, the elephant patterns on his skin became more distinct, and finally merged together.

The True Strength in his dantian, originally thin, swelled at double the rate, gradually filling the entire dantian, and then turned into a vortex, spinning wildly.

The thin Dragon Elephant True Strength continued to compress and refine, gradually giving birth to a faint black mist.

Bang! The entire dantian shook violently in an instant, and an illusory elephant roar blasted like thunder.

In an instant, Jack was enveloped by an aura as fierce as a raging elephant, his clothes and hair moving as if in a breeze, emitting a black glow, full of a heavy sense of oppression.

True Strength turns into mist, covering the whole body – the standard of Third Layer Heaven.

As he successfully broke through, Jack slowly opened his eyes and retracted the aura with a thought.

n

Is this the feeling of the Third Layer Heaven?” Feeling the more violent power inside his body, Jack’s face showed a brilliant smile.

To break through the Third Layer Heaven in just over two months would definitely shock many people beyond words.

However, precisely because it was too shocking, Jack didn’t dare to publicize his breakthrough, so he had to wait for some time before slowly showing his progress.

If anything, people already saw his fighting power as freakish due to his high compatibility with Dragon Elephant Power, including several recorded victories against opponents in Third Layer Heaven.

After feeling the surge of power within his body, Jack summoned his attribute page with a thought.

Realm: Third Layer Heaven

Physique: 145^165+

Strength: 155-H85+

Agility: 115^125+

Spirit: 113^118+

Talent: Soul Split

Attribute Points: 19

Equipment: Common Armored Battle Suit[Solid+io]

Avatar: Hexagonal Armored Beast

Level: Low-level Unique Beast

Talent: Strength, Defense

Evolution Value: 240/300

This time, the biggest increase from the Dragon Elephant Power breakthrough was in strength, boosting by 30 points, followed by 20 points in physique, with agility and spirit not showing significant gains.

However, even now, his base attributes have already exceeded the limit of the Third Layer Heaven.

Under normal conditions, those at the Second Heaven Peak would have a basic arm strength of 800 kilograms, while a cultivator who just broke through the Third Layer Heaven would generally have a basic arm strength of around 1,000 kilograms.

With continuous cultivation, the base arm strength of a Third Layer Heaven Peak cultivator would reach 2,000 kilograms.

However, the power of True Martial doesn’t lie in physique alone, as no matter how much humans cultivate, their physique can’t compare to the massive mutated beasts and giant beasts.

The real strength of cultivators lies in their True Strength.

For example, Jack right now can cover his entire body with fog-like True Strength, granting him four times the strength and even greater defense.

In addition to this, the mist-like True Strength can attach to weapons, forming knife and sword aura, fortifying the weapon while greatly increasing its attack power.

Now, just after breaking through, Jack’s combat prowess surpassed most cultivators of Third Layer Heaven because of his terrifying base attributes, likely placing him somewhere between the mid to late stage.

However, without comparison, Jack still isn’t quite sure how strong he is right now.

Moreover, his endurance is a bit worse because the initial Dragon Elephant True Strength isn’t as abundant as those in the middle and late stages.

At this point, Jack can be considered a genuine cultivator, gradually rising above the ordinary.

With a formidable body density, elephant-patterned skin membrane, and True Strength Protection, Jack could even resist ordinary bullets and grenade explosions with nothing but his flesh and blood.

Not to mention the terrifying strength burst and movement speed; if he were to appear in ancient times, Jack would practically sweep the world by himself, and his abundant endurance would ensure he wouldn’t be exhausted to death even if he fought for several days and nights in a row..
