Chapter 497 Has Evolution Reached Its End?
Awooooo~!
Just as Cangnian was marveling at his ability to speak human language after reaching the fifth rank, a familiar, childish howl came from not far away.
Hearing the sound, Cang Nian looked up and saw the huge platform floating steadily on the sea. A small head was sticking out from the edge of the platform and excitedly barking at him.
Upon seeing this, a smile involuntarily appeared on Cang Nian's face.
Unexpectedly, I saw the lively and adorable Tiger Girl as soon as I woke up from my deep sleep!
It seems that the little guy was waiting for me to wake up, which is why it happened so coincidentally.
"I wonder how long I've been asleep this time?"
Having learned his lesson, Cang Nian didn't voice his thoughts, but muttered them to himself.
Judging from Tiger Girl's appearance, she's become much larger than she was before she fell into a deep sleep!
Moreover, the "Ark" that Noah mentioned before has also been completed.
Thinking of this, Cangnian stood up, preparing to jump onto the [Ark] and get close to Tiger Girl.
However, when he stood up, he felt that the viewpoint was very high!
"Well... I estimate my current viewing height is around fifteen meters, right?"
By that calculation, my body length has reached fifty meters!
"As expected of someone advancing from the fourth to the fifth tier, the increase in size is simply outrageous!"
Seeing this, Cang Nian turned around and took in his own body, which shocked him greatly.
Before falling into a deep sleep, he weighed only a few dozen tons and was estimated to be only a dozen meters long.
Upon waking up, his body length exceeded fifty meters!
This improvement is quite significant!
Correspondingly, the weight gain should be even more astonishing.
However, under the current conditions, there is no way to weigh a behemoth of such weight as himself.
But a rough estimate would be a terrifying figure of around a thousand tons!
Thinking of this, Cang Nian's heart sank, and he looked at his data panel.
Suddenly, all five of his attributes exceeded ten thousand!
Compared to the fourth tier, when the units were still in the thousands, the attributes alone have increased by an order of magnitude!
Cang Nian dared not imagine how terrifying it would be if such attributes were combined with his own ultimate burst!
"By the way... besides attributes, breaking through to the fifth rank should bring new skills, right? And the other skills should also see some improvement, right?"
Thinking of this, Cang Nian's thoughts began to wander again.
The physical attributes determine the lower limit of an evolved creature.
Superpowers, on the other hand, determine the upper limit of an evolved creature!
For example, in terms of the five attributes, I might not be the strongest among the Northeast Allied Forces of the Dragon Kingdom.
Top-tier adult male tigers like Tiger Dad and Ermaita have higher base stats than their counterparts of the same rank, except for speed.
Moreover, there are creatures like the Black King Serpent, which at the fourth rank have a size comparable to a fifth-rank evolved creature.
However, the system's role in enabling him to become the undisputed strongest member of the Northeast Allied Forces of the Dragon Kingdom was not that significant.
One's own special ability [numerical master], especially the overlimit burst skill, is the most crucial source.
Thinking of this, Cang Nian quickly looked at the [Numerical Master] ability section on the system panel.
However, what he saw shocked him.
No!
No new skills!
There was no new skill description appearing below the original Tier 5 skill stat plunder.
"Could it be that... the fifth rank is the end of evolution?"
This outcome naturally led Cang Nian to make a bold guess.
But he quickly dismissed that guess.
Everything we've experienced so far shows that the fifth rank is definitely not the end of evolution!
For example, the exact level of some of the magical treasures of Chanlan Temple remains unknown to this day.
For example, both the Eastern culture represented by the Dragon Kingdom and Western culture contain myths and legends about animals transforming into human form.
Moreover, the Earth's spiritual energy has been reviving for some time now.
If spiritual energy recovers further, it can only support the birth of fifth-order evolved creatures?
This is completely unreasonable.
"Perhaps... the fact that I haven't acquired any new skills doesn't mean that the fifth rank is the end of evolution."
This only represents the completeness of the superpower system…
Then, Cangnian nodded to himself in thought.
From tier one to tier five, most evolved creatures gain one skill at each tier!
Once you reach the fifth rank, you can unlock all the skills of your special ability!
As for myself, thanks to the pine tree's [precocious] effect, I had already acquired fifth-tier skills at the fourth tier.
It was precisely because of this that all the skills of his [Numerical Master] ability were unlocked by the fourth tier.
That's why no new skills were unlocked after breaking through to the fifth tier.
Although he was disappointed that he couldn't unlock any new skills, Cang Nian didn't let these negative emotions affect his mindset.
It doesn't matter if I don't learn any new skills.
Anyway, my five skills as a [Numerical Master] have now formed a complete system, making me very adept at combat and I have no fear of any enemy!
Thinking of this, Cangnian shifted his gaze to the [Numerical Master] panel and looked up.
If no new skills are acquired, will the existing skills remain unchanged as well?
Upon seeing this, Cang Nian's lips immediately curled into a smile.
As expected, no new skills were gained, but the existing skills were improved to varying degrees!
First, there's the free attribute for Tier 1 skills!
Originally, the maximum value of the free attribute was already 90%, and this evolution did not change that.
Previously, this skill could only move the value of one attribute to another, not both attributes.
Now, this restriction has been partially lifted, allowing the values of up to two attributes to be moved to the same attribute!
In other words, in extreme cases, you can transfer 90% of the values of both attributes to Strength!
Because my five attributes are quite balanced, this operation can increase a single attribute to 2.8 times its base value!
This is a significant improvement over the previous one!
Next comes the second-tier skill, Overlimit Burst.
This skill change best matches the name of the [Numerical Master] ability, except that the maximum value has been increased from 40% to 50%.
Even such a slight improvement, combined with the different multipliers of the Overlimit Burst, can produce extremely terrifying effects.
The first level of overlimit burst is three times, which is twice the base attribute!
The second-tier overlimit burst is nine times, which is five times the base attribute!
The third-level overlimit burst is 27 times, which is 14 times the base attribute!
This made Cang Nian wonder if, if he were to unleash the third-level transcendent burst to this extent, he would have no chance of survival.
Of course, with Tiger Mom's phantom ability, Cang Nian will never use his true form to unleash the Gear 3 Overlimit Burst again; that would be tantamount to suicide.
Without a tiger mom, this would be a taboo approach!
