207 Cryptic

“System, I would like to undo the second seal on the black tome.” Randy stated as he opened the first couple of pages in the black tome, all the way until he could not open it anymore. He then placed his hand on that last page of the first seal’s pages.

[[Undoing the second seal on the ancient black tome would require you to spend 20,000 divine points]]

[[Would you like to spend this amount of divine points to undo the second seal?]]

“Ye... Wait, what are these notifications? I almost miss them...”

As Randy was about to respond to the system, he suddenly noticed a few notifications on the notification interface that he had yet to read. Right now, those notifications were displayed without disappearing, seemingly waiting for him to read them.

With that discovery, Randy proceeded to read these notifications before anything else and thus took his hand off the page and looked in front of his vision instead.

[[Evolution of the body has been completed successfully]]

[[You have awakened your body’s first potential state]]

[[Your current body state is: The Advanced Mortal Body State]]

.....

[[Advanced Mortal Body: Your overall innate physical prowess, which includes the durability of your muscles, the brain’s comprehensive capability, and the organs’ performances has been greatly improved after awakening this evolution potential state. As an effect, normal attacks without any form of energy would not cause any significant damage to your physical body]]

[[Furthermore, your body’s energy compatibility level had increased tremendously after your body evolution. For instance, as you cultivate or train with your energy gathering methods, the speed at which you can absorb the surrounding energies naturally with the aid of the training method would be 10 times more than that of an ordinary awakened person’s potential talent, which is only 5 times when using a training method]]

[[Your body has evolved to the first stage and met the requirement of the concealed imprint on your body, thus unlocking the first limit on your body]]

[[In response to unlocking your body’s first limit, your total blood energy has increased]]

[[You’re now a second stage evolved human]]

[[Please check your status screen for more information regarding the various changes to your body]]

‘Blood energy increased?’

Randy ignored everything else and looked at the notification, which mentioned the increase in his blood energy due to breaking his body’s limit.

This blood energy has always been a mystery to him enough that he didn’t even bother to mention it to his parents when they asked him about what energies he was compatible with back then.

The main reason why he didn’t say anything was that he had never heard of this blood energy before, even though it was a type of evolutional energy.

Evolutional energies could sometimes simply be mana or other forms of energies, but all in all, they only serve to evolve one’s body upon awakening as an evolved human.

Evolved humans were much stronger at the beginning stages of strength acquisition mainly because their entire bodies undergo massive changes due to the highly compatible energies. As such were unlike those who only had their awakened abilities and with mediocre or bare minimum compatibility with their compatible energies.

Hence, most people, especially those with mediocre talents at the beginning stages, depended on the latter discovered techniques from other civilizations, which were the energy gathering techniques.

The less talented people used these energy gathering techniques to increase their total energy, and as it turned out, some people were talented when it came to this method of getting stronger.

There were instances of some people who had awakened abilities that worked in tandem with their energy gathering technique; as such, they were able to get stronger faster than their peers.

That aside, evolved humans were special in the sense that they could naturally accumulate their compatible energies through their physique’s unique features or traits, which allowed them to have a head start getting stronger compared to those that only awakened their abilities without evolving.

During the beginning stages of dimensional rifts, coupled with the invasion of other species, it was the evolved humans who had insanely powerful bodies that contributed to the success of the defending the human race, and due to that, they were the first ones to be hailed as the pinnacle of human potential.

That was before those with bizarre abilities started appearing one after another and contributing just as much as evolved humans did in the beginning.

That aside, what truly mattered the most was the fact that all evolved humans naturally knew how to gather their compatible energies, and there hadn’t been any exception to this discovery.

That was why Randy was confused that despite having all forms of energy, he didn’t have any of them as his evolutional energy, and instead, he had this blood energy.

Aside from that, he initially thought he only needed to fuse or assimilate with other creatures’ blood to increase blood energy. After all, it seemed like that was the case with that one-time notification from the system when he used his Blood Fusion Skill to fuse and convert that burglar’s blood.

Randy recalled the notification from back then. At the time, he was given two choices after consuming the burglar’s blood.

...

?[[First Choice: Assimilate with the ‘Purified Blood Essence’ and you would be able to utilize it to retrieve the ‘Blood Knowledge’ and be able to use all the abilities of the source of this blood]]?

?[[Second Choice: Fuse and transform this ‘Purified Blood Essence,’ thus converting and making it your own, this would bring about a new unique ability, which can activate even without entering the assimilated mode, and also increase your Blood Energy or Evolution Energy slightly. Naturally, you would still be able to retain the ‘Blood Knowledge’ using your ‘Blood Retain’ skill, which would allow you to use the enhancement effects of its assimilated mode, although the enhancement effect will decrease slightly due to the fusion]]?

...

Just as he had remembered, it clearly said that fusing and converting blood would increase his ‘Blood Energy’ or ‘Evolution Energy’ slightly.

However, Randy was now puzzled after recalling this memory and comparing it with the current notification from his system. After all, not only was he not able to naturally increase his blood energy, which was his evolutional energy, but now there was another method to increase his evolutional energy, excluding the previous stated method.

But he didn’t waste much time pondering about this matter and immediately had the urge to check the changes that the system had mentioned to him just now.

With that thought in mind, for the second time ever since he came to this world of Acruxia, Randy decided to check his status screen.

But after thinking for a short moment, he decided to ignore everything else on his basic statistics section screen since they didn’t matter much and narrowly focused his attention on the energy section.

Thus, he looked at his world’s system display to check out all the energy sections before settling on the blood energy row, and sure enough, it had increased just like the system stated.

[[Evolutional energy(Blood Energy): 1,006/2,000]]

‘So it increased by that much, huh? If I remember correctly, it was around 600, but now, it is 1,006 points instead. I wonder what the difference would be like... Should I test it out...?’

After thinking this, Randy immediately activated his Blood Authority Skill the next moment.

[[Blood Authority Skill Activated]]

The next moment, Randy felt that otherworldly feeling he always felt when he used this skill. Though he was not manipulating any blood at this moment, he could sense the flow of blood within his body more vividly when compared to before. He felt like he could now manipulate other people’s blood or any blood overall, his included.

“That’s quite the difference.” Randy muttered in exhilaration, and he continued: “My manual control without the system seems to have gotten better too. This increase in my blood energy and the effect on my blood authority skill is incomparable to before. This time, I didn’t even need the system to activate it.”

Randy inwardly nodded. He was satisfied when he noticed the improvement with just this evolution of his physical body.

‘Alright, let’s focus on what’s more important. I can check out my attributes and statistics later when I get out. Right now, I don’t have much time to waste. I have to quickly finish this and hurry back to complete my first request’

With that in mind, Randy placed his hand back on the page in the opened black tome and spoke afterward: “System, use the 20,000 divine points to unlock the second seal on the ancient black tome.”

[[Response Acknowledged]]

[[Now undoing the second seal on the ancient black tome]]

[[The second seal would get undone within the next ten seconds]]

When the system stated this, Randy once again felt warm and soothing energy traveling through the veins in his body and then transferring into the black tome through his palm.

This feeling was so wondrous that it was easy to get lost in it, but Randy quickly controlled his emotion and then focused on the countdown on the projected screen in front of his eyes, which displayed the progress of the unsealing.
