BXBX NOVEL Chapter 282 - Evolution Route!
[Congratulations! You have killed a pinnacle Black tier predator- Level ???: You have gained Experience!]
[You have gained 823 Skill points and 5000 Adaptation points!]
[You have killed your first Black tier predator: You have gained an additional 10,000 Adaptation points!]
[You have killed a Black tier predator while still at the orange tier: You have gained an additional 500 Skill points and 5000 Adaptation points!]
[You have accomplished an impossible mission achievement by killing a Black tier predator while still at the orange tier!]
[Open or inquire for reward details.]
As soon as the sudden burst of system notifications came to an end, Sebastian entered a state where he felt full of energy, both mentally and physically.
Attributing what just happened as him killing a Black tier predator seemed like a cheat since he hardly played a major role and his special advantages were the ones responsible for all the impressive feats.
Also, he was pitted against a Black tier predator who was at its weakest.
Despite this, Sebastian gave himself some credit as his will to struggle despite the despairing situation played a major role in everything that just happened.
Sebastian for the umpteenth time felt that he was dreaming, he actually overpowered the deadly Sea King, a predator that even the Sage 54 residing in his head was unable to outsmart!
The Sage was definitely the more powerful and wiser one, but due to its circumstances, the Sage could do very little as this Atlantian cast-out turned Sea King toyed with the both of them.
This feat felt unbelievable!
This was a feat that Sebastian would have never dreamt of achieving even if he was subjected to the effects of the legendary Tramadol and other stimulants.
Sebastian was pretty sure this time that he was the only predator to have achieved a feat like this. What pained him was the losses.
When he killed the Devouring Octopus, the experience that he gained was able to push him to level up a few times consecutively. The experience gotten from killing a Sea King was assured to be more, but all these were squandered.
They were squandered since Sebastian was still at the orange tier. If he was already a purple tier predator, then he would have been able to maximize his gains.
Despite this squandering, the outcome of this feat really felt too good to be true, so were the benefits also.
Sebastian already had a sizeable stockpile of skill and adaptation points specially reserved for his ultimate evolution but the sudden exponential increase made his choices rise so much that he now felt like a spoiled child.
He felt like a skill and adaptation pointnnaire all of a sudden.
Apart from the valuable and astonishing knowledge that he got from this encounter, the battle insights that he got, the points, and a lot of other material rewards, what really thrilled Sebastian was the more ethereal benefits.
Sebastian was not an expert when it came to soul-related matters, he was still more or less a newbie but someone like him still felt the strengthening.
As soon as the Sea King\'s soul officially died, its now pure and unaffiliated soul power had no better candidates to cling to than him.
Most of the soul power dissipated into the atmosphere in the process, but the few that Sebastian was able to assimilate made him mentally feel so full of power and satisfaction that he felt indomitable out of the blue.
Sebastian had too little knowledge, he didn\'t know what happened but he knew that he gained a lot from this encounter.
Amid these considerations, Sebastian\'s familiar system interface lit up.
[Host has experienced the illusion realm: An official encounter with the shark clan head has been finalized, now you can make your decisions and create your legend in the way that you want.]
[Evolution will start in 10 seconds.]
[You will be given a lot of options; choose wisely.]
Sebastian considered the information that was written in the system notification as he voluntarily let the portal that appeared to suck him in.
In an instant, Sebastian was gone.
…
When Sebastian opened his eyes, he easily recognized the rainbow-colored world filled with clouds. He was back in this familiar world where he saw last a few months back, he felt nostalgic.
It took less than a second after he regained vision that the evolution started.
[Host\'s evolution process has started. You have only 30 minutes to contemplate and make the choices that you want for your evolution route.]
[Your remaining evolution time- 29: 57.]
[Make your choices.]
As a veteran when it came to evolution-related matters, Sebastian remained calm as he demanded, feeling all hyped up already.
"System, give me my options".
[Affirmative! Evolution system store has been actively accessed.]
[Host evolution options are as follows:]
- Teenage Megalodon- Shark.
- Mystery Pryer Megalodon- Shark.
- Vampire Megalodon- Shark.
- Shapeshifter Megalodon- Shark.
- Soul Affinity Megalodon- Shark.
- [Special!] Adult Megalodon.
- [Special!] Dark Magic Megalodon- Shark.
- [Special!] Megalodon- Mana Lord.
- [Special!] Megalodon- Pugilist King.
- [Special!] Mutated Winged Dragon.
[Warning! Taking the Pugilist King evolution route will destroy your magic organ. In reciprocation, you will gain extremely fierce close combat prowess.]
[Warning! The Mutated Winged Dragon evolution route is an alternative for host to escape the boundaries of his bloodline. With this evolution route, you can escape the shackles of a shark and become a mutated dragon.]
[Host should choose any of the above options to decide on a personalized evolution route.]
[Host skill options for current evolution route: …]
[Host Adaptation options for current evolution route: Map; Spikes; Hard Dense Skin; Vampire Teeth; Mana Conductor Coating; Magic Organ; Damage Reflection Skin Coating; Camouflage Organ; Sound Magic Domain; Fire Skin.]
Compared to the previous times when he saw the catalogs of evolution options, Sebastian reacted much milder which was a sign of self-control.
The purple tier evolution was extremely important, but not everything about it was unique. Compared to his previous evolution options when trying to become an orange tier predator, the options were still more or less the same.
This was because the advantage of his system managed to bring some of the benefits that he was supposed to enjoy now during his orange tier evolution.
The new evolution options that were added were too little to make any significant change, the proven and grounded evolution options were still the most predominant everywhere.
Sebastian calmed his racing heart, and just like in previous evolutions, he quickly called up his system to check his attributes first.
This was a vital process to check how much he progressed after evolution.

[System Remark: Keep grinding hard, you\'re slowly on your way to becoming the Ocean Master.]
-----------------------------------
Seeing his system status in such an organized manner again, Sebastian was able to relax as he was able to observe his growth since the first day that he stepped foot into this world dominated by water.
Well, he agreed with his system, he was slowly on his way to becoming the Ocean Master which was his ultimate goal from the onset.
Sebastian kind of felt the vain need to admire his progress more, but he knew that he was on a time limit which prompted him to work fast.
Finally, after not purchasing for a long time, Sebastian calmed down like the pointnnaire that he was to spend his points lavishly.
He felt hyped, he was about to get stronger which was a phenomenon that always left him excited and in anticipation.
"System, give me my skill evolution options".
Instantly, the system responded as the familiar system screen lit up in his vision as numerous skills appeared in a form like virtual cards.
Sebastian was about to have a huge skill overhaul because most of his skills were already at the limit of level 5, they were long overdue for an overhaul which he failed to fulfill before now.
Sebastian spent 10 solid minutes completing his purchases, both skill purchases, and adaptation purchases.
[You have purchased body skills: Dissecting Bite, Mega Dash, Mega Electroreceptors, Mega Pressure Sensing, Morphable Spike Attack, Acrobatic Maneuverability, Mega Crushing Bite.]
[You have purchased magic skills: Reanimation, Mega Healing, Mega Magic Shield, Supersonic Speed.]
[You have purchased sound domain skills: Mega Sound Control, Drilling Sonic Sword, Vibration Sensing, Melody Sensing, Mega Sound Blast.]
[You have purchased combined skills: Rupturing Sonic Ram, Sonic Magic Teeth, Sonic Torpedo Drill, Combined Super Sensing.]
[You have purchased adaptations: Mega Megalodon Jaws, Dense Muscle Fiber Defense, Lancer Snout.]
Compared to his first evolution where he just had to spend a few dozen adaptations and skill points to get a skill or adaptation, each of the purchases this time ranged from several hundreds of points to a thousand.
This was the disparity between the purple tier and lesser tiers.
Sebastian was not lacking points though, which enabled him to engage in this lavish spending. In the end, he stopped spending with some points still at hand.
The other available options were either not compatible with his fighting style, or they were useless or just too cumbersome for his liking.
Sebastian checked the time and discovered that he still had some time, but despite this, he quickly jumped to choosing his main evolution route.
Sebastian had been thinking of this for a long time, and since no revolutionary new evolution route was revealed by the system that could change his choice, he settled for his original choice.
He did not waste any time in making his choice known to the system.
[You have chosen your evolution route: Megalodon- Mana Lord!]
[Would you like to confirm your choices?]
"Yes!"
Unlike the previous evolution experiences that he already had, his vision did not darken immediately nor did his evolution start, his system rather lit up again as he received a new system notification.
[Gene Limiter has been ruptured!]
[Origin Law sensitivity has been increased!]
[Congratulations! You have unlocked the origin of passive laws!]
