I Became an Evolving Lizard in a Martial Arts Novel

“Why did you suddenly freeze up?”

“Gek...”

No matter how you looked at it, I really did seem to be the culprit.

Let’s say there’s a kind of law of spiritual energy preservation.

Even if I hunted down a spirit beast and took its core, that power would enter my body while the rest of the internal energy would be returned to the Ten Thousand Great Mountains.

If there was 100 internal energy, I’d absorb 50, and the remaining 50 would go back.

In that case, the spiritual energy in this mountain range wouldn’t change much.

But what about me?

When I defeat an enemy, I receive a resource called experience points.

And as those experience points accumulate, my level rises and I grow stronger.

So if I defeat a beast with 100 worth of energy, a total of 120 energy gets circulated.

A literal spiritual energy duplication bug that only I can pull off.
