Chapter 248: Advancing to Super Class

Chapter 248: Advancing to Super Class

Just like the previous three evolutions, Ji Xinghuo found his stellar power surging rapidly, and the aetheric energy within a hundred-meter radius was boiling, forming an invisible energy storm.

And he was at the center of the storm, with energy continuously pouring into his body.

His stellar power quickly broke through the 1600-point mark!

However, Ji Xinghuo was currently paying no attention to his stellar power. His focus was on his chest, where the Magnetic Spirit Star Core, like a ghost, had entered his body and was now moving lightning-fast throughout his body. In the blink of an eye, it had circled hundreds of times, as if searching for the right position.

This process seemed slow as he described it, but it actually happened in an instant.

In the end, the Magnetic Spirit Star Core returned to his chest and came to a halt there. It was located behind the handle of the sternum, above the heart, and pressed against the pericardium and the major blood vessels.

In other words, the location of the thymus.

Ji Xinghuo breathed a slight sigh of relief.

Because this was the standard location for implanting a stargland in humans from Earth.

The reason starglands were called such was also related to this.

The physical structure and genes of Earthlings dictated that the thymus was the most suitable part of the body for implantation. This was a conclusion drawn from the countless attempts and studies of predecessors and scientists.

The thymus was an important component of the human endocrine system, closely linked to other endocrine organs such as the pituitary gland, pineal gland, thyroid gland, and adrenal glands. It also profoundly influenced the endocrine cells in other organs. Located in the middle of the body and adjacent to the heart, it was less likely to be exposed and become a weakness.

The stargland, when combined with the thymus, replaced hormones with stellar power to form an energy system that comprehensively regulated bodily functions.

Of course, not all starglands were located in this position.

There were always some unique exceptions.

Ji Xinghuo didn't want to be eccentric, and the fact that the Magnetic Spirit Star Core had chosen the thymus was precisely the outcome he desired.

The next second.

He felt a slight tingling and warmth in his chest as the Magnetic Spirit Star Core merged with his thymus, creating a wondrous reaction and becoming one.

At the same time, his stellar power began to flow uncontrollably.

The rotating magnetic field and electrostatic field were stimulated.

Originally, stellar power was scattered throughout the body and evenly distributed. But now, it was as if it was subjected to a tremendous force, drawing all the stellar power toward his chest.

In just a few seconds, all the stellar power entered the Magnetic Spirit Star Core and completely disappeared.

His body felt empty.

Ji Xinghuo felt a bit anxious, but seeing that the stellar power value on the interface was still rising, he calmed down a little.

He looked down at his chest, and through electromagnetic induction, he could sense a strong magnetic source there, emitting a magnetic field. Countless magnetic force lines, invisible to the naked eye, sketched out the shape of the magnetic field in his mind, divided into two poles—the north pole above and the south pole below.

"I can sense the magnetic poles now," Ji Xinghuo said with some surprise. Before, although he could sense the magnetic field of objects, he couldn't distinguish the magnetic poles. Now, he finally could.

Every magnetic field has two poles of opposite nature, and there are no monopoles in the universe.

Changes in magnetic poles determine the changes in matter.

With a slight thought, Ji Xinghuo discovered that he could now influence the magnetic poles, although it was still weak and gradually strengthening.

He patiently waited for a few minutes.

His stellar power suddenly broke through 1700 points and continued to grow.

The surrounding aetheric energy was still pouring into his body and being devoured by the Magnetic Spirit Star Core. Apart from that, there were no other changes.

"Life evolution will drive the enhancement of abilities and even advancement."

"Why isn't there any change this time?"

Ji Xinghuo looked at the interface, where the progress of his abilities remained unchanged, and felt puzzled.

"Could it be that I've just upgraded most of my abilities, so the impact of evolution isn't significant enough?" he wondered, not too concerned about this aspect.

For other mutants, each evolution was a crucial moment to enhance their abilities, saving a lot of training and time.

But for him, he could always use spiritual source energy to upgrade his abilities whenever he wanted.

About fifteen minutes passed.

Ji Xinghuo kept his eyes fixed on the interface of the Myriads Star Pupil. His stellar power had exceeded 1900 points, but the growth rate was gradually slowing down and becoming slower and slower. Finally, when the stellar power value reached 1987 points, it stopped and froze!

The surrounding aetheric energy also stopped surging and gradually calmed down.

However, the changes within his body had just begun.

And they were even more intense! In an instant, all the stellar power gushed out from the Magnetic Spirit Star Core in his chest, and the nature of this stellar power was noticeably different from before.

The most significant change was that the stellar power had been compressed and its density increased! Ji Xinghuo couldn't quite explain how much the density of the stellar power had improved.

Before, the stellar power was sparse and scattered, like countless extremely tiny dots dispersed throughout his body. Now, the stellar power had condensed into an entirely new form. Its density was still very low, roughly equivalent to a plasma state, far from reaching a gaseous state.

Nevertheless, this was already a tremendous improvement. The most prominent feature of stellar power in the plasma state was that it could now be seen directly with the naked eye! Driven by the Magnetic Spirit Star Core, the stellar power spread throughout his body in an instant.

This magical energy, along with the endocrine system and blood circulation, permeated every organ in his body—the internal organs, bones, flesh, skin, and hair. It nourished trillions of cells from the inside out, initiating further enhancement.

Ji Xinghuo raised his hand, and a weak light, like electricity, flickered on the back of his hand.

This was the stellar power!

For the first time, he saw his stellar power with his own eyes, and its form was different from that of others. It resembled countless electric charges, and each charge created a weak magnetic field as it moved. At the same time, they aggregated, spun, oscillated, and superimposed, interacting with each other to form a more substantial magnetic field.

The lightning bolts surrounding him disappeared, and the electromagnetic field contracted, conserving his stellar power while his bodily enhancements continued.

The radius of his electromagnetic induction was expanding.

His strength was increasing.

Speed and explosive power were also synchronically enhanced.

The self-healing ability brought about by the rotating magnetic field was becoming more potent.

His control over metal was intensifying.

The range of the electrostatic field expanded further, its radius extending from fifty meters to a full hundred. The efficiency of converting stellar power into electric charges was accelerating.

On the interface of the Myriads Star Pupil, the progress of both the rotating magnetic field and the electrostatic field was skyrocketing. Previously, these two ultra-limit abilities had reached (Level Four 1/50069), but now their progress had soared to over 15,000 and continued to climb.

"I've saved up 30,000 spiritual source energy," Ji Xinghuo observed with delight, thrilled by the unexpected bonus of the Magnetic Spirit Star Core.

The progress of his other abilities was also improving, though aside from the Thunderclap Hand, the increments were relatively minor.

This evolution lasted a full hour.

As his bodily enhancements neared their conclusion, Ji Xinghuo noticed an update on the interface.

[Myriads Star Pupil Master: Ji Xinghuo]



[Race: Earth Human]



[Tier: Super Mutant]



[Stellar Power: 1987/1987]



He felt the immense power coursing through his enhanced body and approached the barbell he had previously used for training. With ease, he lifted it, exerting minimal effort.

"My bench press has reached at least 50 tons!" Ji Xinghuo exclaimed, even surprising himself with the sheer power. Such strength surpassed even that of legendary power-type mutants like the Giant Commander. Furthermore, this was his normal state; if he tapped into his full potential, his strength would be even more formidable!

As for speed, it was challenging to test in the cultivation room, but it had undoubtedly increased significantly.

However, the most critical enhancement was his stellar power.

Ji Xinghuo sensed the Magnetic Spirit Star Core within his chest, which controlled all his stellar power and imbued it with an "electromagnetic" nature.

Stellar power, stored in the stargland, could accelerate his cultivation speed.

Moreover, after expending his stellar power, it recovered at a much faster rate.

His control over stellar power had become more profound and precise. With a mere thought, he could instantly direct his stellar power to any part of his body, channeling, gathering, and erupting it with finesse. His energy output had increased by more than tenfold compared to before, perhaps even higher.

"It's indeed powerful!" Ji Xinghuo exclaimed in awe. "As expected of the top-tier electromagnetic stargland."

Although he had not implanted any artificially produced starglands from Earth-based companies, it was said that many of those starglands were also top-notch. There were also numerous potent natural stargland organs in the Star Realm, but compared to his Magnetic Spirit Star Core, they would undoubtedly fall short in both functionality and efficiency.

Currently, he had just implanted the Magnetic Spirit Star Core, and its immense potential was yet to be fully unlocked.

As his strength grew, so too would the power of the Magnetic Spirit Star Core.

There was already one ability that Ji Xinghuo had mastered. He spread his arms and lifted his feet off the ground, gently floating in the air.

Despite his initial wobbling, he eventually stabilized and hovered in mid-air.

"I can fly!" Ji Xinghuo exclaimed excitedly. However, due to his overexcitement, he lost focus and immediately fell back to the ground.

This was one of the functions of the Magnetic Spirit Star Core.

By manipulating the rotating magnetic field and reversing the magnetic poles, the repulsion between his body's magnetic field and the Earth's magnetic field allowed him to levitate.

This ability to fly using magnetic fields required very precise control.

Ji Xinghuo immediately activated his hyper-frequency thinking.

Instantly, his brain effortlessly controlled the changes in the magnetic field, stabilizing the inverted magnetic poles and allowing him to hover steadily in mid-air. By adjusting the direction of the magnetic poles and creating an angle with the Earth's magnetic field, he could propel himself forward in flight.

The speed of his flight was also adjustable.

Ji Xinghuo converted his stellar power into electric charges, increasing their flow rate to generate a stronger magnetic field and a greater repulsive force against the Earth's magnetic field, thus accelerating his flight speed.

Within just a few minutes, Ji Xinghuo had skillfully mastered the art of flying using magnetic fields.

He hovered in the air, deep in thought.

"Being able to fly is good, but it might not be that practical in actual combat," he mused. "My stellar power is still too weak, and the intensity of the rotating magnetic field is insufficient, resulting in a slower flight speed. This could make me an easy target in the air. Moreover, due to my slow speed and small kinetic energy, I can't leverage my powerful close-combat abilities effectively in the air."

He contemplated, "Perhaps it's better to fight on the ground, where it's safer and more familiar."

Furthermore, the faster he flew, the more stellar power he consumed. Even just hovering in mid-air could only be sustained for half an hour at most with his current abilities.

"The root of the problem is still my insufficient stellar power," he concluded.

"Once I have stronger stellar power, I can increase the intensity of the magnetic field, enhance the repulsive force, and speed up, solving all these issues."

Ji Xinghuo reached into his Dimensional Pouch and retrieved a dazzling gem, roughly the size of a ping-pong ball. The Star Tear sparkled brilliantly in his hand.

He had possessed this Star Tear for over a year.

Now, he could finally utilize it.

Having just evolved, he could fuse with one exotic species, and the Star Tear could provide an additional opportunity for fusion. These two chances did not conflict and could coexist.

Without hesitation, Ji Xinghuo grasped the Star Tear. He immediately felt its scorching heat and sensed a vast and violent energy surging from the gem into his body. In an instant, the energy was absorbed by the Magnetic Spirit Star Core, compressed, and transformed into denser stellar power.

On the interface of the Myriads Star Pupil, his stellar power value skyrocketed once more.
