Clone Ascension

February 8th.

After nearly twenty days, Evan finally finished digesting the Gravity Demon extract.

He hadn’t pushed himself as hard as he did with the Black‑Belly Drake‑Pelican—he’d traveled, rested, and taken things slower.

Even so, compared to ordinary evolvers, his digestion speed was still absurd.

Ridiculous.

Cheat‑like.

Of course, unlimited Tomorrow Blossom petals and Swan Dance training helped.

But deep down, Evan sensed something else—

his body simply processed evolutionary material faster than normal.

He chalked it all up to Evolution’s Grace.

Anything unexplainable?

Blame the cheat skill.

He was just about to absorb the mutated electric eel extract when his phone rang.

The caller ID made him pause.

Secretary Wang.

Calling on behalf of Elias Zhao.

The last time they spoke, Elias wanted to “turn hostility into father‑son affection.”

Evan told him to show sincerity.

He assumed the matter was dead.

But now, nearly a month later, Secretary Wang called again—

and this time, Elias had brought real sincerity.

Three hundred thousand EvolutionTech points.

Evan nearly dropped his phone.

What was Elias Zhao thinking?

Three hundred thousand points—

not credits, not cash—

EvolutionTech points, which could only be earned by selling high‑tier evolutionary materials.

Even a billionaire couldn’t buy them with money.

Elias had a Saint‑tier backer, so he could afford it.

But what shocked Evan wasn’t the amount—

it was that Elias was willing to transfer it directly,

no conditions, no contracts, no strings attached.

Secretary Wang urged him:

“Sir, please provide your EvolutionTech account. I’ll transfer the points immediately.”

Evan had only been joking last time.

He never expected Elias to actually agree.

Now he didn’t know how to respond.

If he accepted the points…

what would that make their relationship?

Would he still be able to take revenge on the Zhao family later?

So that’s his plan, Evan thought.

Buy peace.

Buy safety.

Buy a future where Evan wouldn’t come knocking for vengeance.

From Elias Zhao’s perspective, it made sense.

If three hundred thousand points could neutralize a rising monster, it was a bargain.

But Evan sneered inwardly.

If he thinks money will make me forgive him, he’s delusional.

I’ll take the points and still flip the table later.

Three hundred thousand points was tempting—

but not enough to make him call someone like Elias “father.”

He was no longer the powerless clone he once was.

If you spot this tale on Amazon, know that it has been stolen. Report the violation.

He had wealth, strength, status.

Three hundred thousand points?

Not enough.

“Tell Minister Zhao,” Evan said calmly,

“his sincerity is still lacking.”

Then he hung up.

⭐ The Mutated Electric Eel Extract

He tossed the matter aside and pulled out the vial glowing with bright yellow evolutionary light.

The Tier‑3 S+ Mutated Electric Eel Extract.

Wendy had finished studying it and returned it to him.

It had been just over twenty days since his second evolution—

a pace Evan was very satisfied with.

He uncorked the vial and swallowed the extract in one gulp.

Instant regret.

His entire mouth went numb.

Tongue, lips, gums—gone.

Then the numbness spread to his skull, like someone had plugged his head into a socket.

He had expected it to taste bad.

He hadn’t expected it to be electrified.

The current traveled down his throat, into his stomach, then burst through his entire body.

His limbs twitched uncontrollably as he collapsed to the floor like a man being electrocuted.

But his mind remained clear.

He could feel the extract turning into pure electricity, flooding into every cell, rewriting him.

No danger.

Just discomfort.

He relaxed and let the current wash over him.

The process lasted far longer than expected—

almost two hours—

before the familiar skill selection interface appeared in his mind.

There was only one option:

Enhanced Thunder Rampage Body.

He selected it.

Immediately, his body began “charging.”

Electricity pooled in every cell, saturating his tissues with terrifying voltage.

Then Knowledge Is Power activated, strengthening his body again.

Even after the enhancement, the charging continued for another hour.

When it finally ended, Evan evaluated the new skill.

The normal Thunder Rampage Body was infamous for its flaw:

Charge for two hours, fight for five minutes.

But Evan’s enhanced version charged in one hour—

and held far more electricity.

He estimated:

20 minutes of full‑power combat

30 minutes if he used electricity efficiently

And he could charge while fighting

More than enough for any real battle.

And the voltage was far stronger than the original.

He named the skill:

⭐ Thunder God’s Body

Thunder God’s Body:

Stores electrical energy within the body.

User can freely control internal electricity.

User is immune to lightning damage.

The skill’s potential depended entirely on the user’s creativity.

The simplest use was punching people with electrified fists.

But the advanced uses—

like Aunt Yvonne’s electric whip and electric net—

required precise control of evolutionary force.

Evan immediately thought of a synergy:

⭐ Gravity Chains + Thunder God’s Body

Gravity Chains were made of gravitational dust—

his own evolutionary force—

which meant they could conduct electricity.

He could electrify the chains.

A thousand meters away, he could fire a chain, electrocute the target, paralyze them, and drag them in.

A long‑range stun‑and‑pull combo.

The possibilities were endless.

⭐ Testing His Limits

Evan’s strength had skyrocketed in just ten days.

Gravity Demon extract fully digested

Mutated Electric Eel extract absorbed

Knowledge Is Power triggered again

Needle Strike upgraded

Thunder God’s Body acquired

Bone density boosted by coral stone tonic

He now weighed over 200 pounds—

more than half of it bone.

The Tier‑3 coral stone had reached saturation, but the Tier‑4 stone Wendy promised would still help later.

For the first time, Evan truly felt…

not human.

He wanted to test himself.

He looked down from his balcony and saw Aunt Yvonne practicing Swan Dance.

Perfect.

He leapt down, landing with a ground‑shaking thud.

“Aunt Yvonne! Let’s see whether your Thunder Rampage Body is stronger—

or my Thunder God’s Body!”

Two seconds later—

“Aunt Yvonne—gentle! Please!”

He had made a terrible mistake.

Challenging a peak Chrysalis‑tier evolver who was one step from Saint‑tier?

That wasn’t a challenge.

That was suicide.

He limped away, humbled.

“Next time, find a low‑tier beast first…”

⭐ Departure Approaches

For the next two days, Evan practiced his new skill, experimenting with bizarre combinations and creative uses.

Meanwhile, the entry application for Linhua Nation was approved.

He and Wendy could finally attend the Evolutionary Science Exchange.

They packed their luggage.

The other three invited Dongli scientists would travel with them—

including President Hale, the head of Dongli University.
