[Mole Beast]

Description: An ordinary little mole underwent a Mutation after fusing with a Beastman Essence, strengthening its body and Abilities. It withstood the impact of the Beastman Essence, retaining part of its original consciousness, and it obeys commands.

Grade: ★★★

Species: Exotic Beast Species

Talents:

① Earth Control: Can influence the soil structure within a two-meter radius.

② Regeneration: A Talent Ability from the Beastman Essence, granting the power of Self-Healing and Regeneration.

(Note: Talents can be enhanced as its body is strengthened.)

Abilities:

① Digging Mountains and Earth: Its strengthened claws possess the power to nearly shatter mountains and split stone.

② Super Senses: Its originally keen sense of smell and hearing have become even more powerful after being enhanced. It can discern the direction of all auras within a five-kilometer radius and the approximate location of their sources. Its super hearing can even sense the movements of creatures underground, allowing it to often avoid danger in advance.

③ Immune Toxin: After fusing with the Beastman Essence, it gained the power of Regeneration. This has been enhanced to include the ability to be immune to toxins. Its blood can cure a hundred poisons.

"My god!"

Cheng Zongyang stared at the Attributes of Mole Beast No. 2, completely stunned.

"This is just perfect."

It successfully fused with the Beastman Essence without much of a shock, bearing it completely. It even has its own consciousness and thoughts.

This also meant it had inherited the Beastman’s Abilities very well.

"With Regeneration, Immune Toxin, Super Senses, and Earth Control... what is there to fear in a fight?"

Even without Beast Power, its Three-Star Level Grade made it stronger than the enhanced Mole Beast No. 1!

That alone was proof enough.

After checking, he saw the Mole Beast’s sex hadn’t changed. It was still female. ’Once Mole Beast No. 1 regains its sanity, I’ll try to pair them up.’

"From now on, this one will stay in the Wilderness World, while Little Mole stays in Cheng Family Village," Cheng Zongyang decided immediately. At the same time, he renamed them.

He was used to calling Mole Beast No. 1 "Little Mole." But after some thought, he decided to officially name it Gangzi. When he first saw it, he really thought it looked like a kangaroo.

Mole Beast No. 2 was renamed Beauty Mole—the beautiful mole beast!

’There, that distinguishes them,’ he thought.

After settling that, Cheng Zongyang spoke with Beauty Mole for a bit before handing her over to Luo Zheng to manage. Beauty Mole was much more agile and had a greater Spiritual Nature than Gangzi did in the beginning.

Luo Zheng first fed her a few Red Blood Pills, and she happily followed him away.

From now on, Luo Zheng would be in charge of arranging everything, whether it was mining or digging caves.

Next, it was time for him to fuse with the Talent Pearl.

At the counter, Cheng Zongyang picked up the Talent Pearl and immediately began the fusion.

He didn’t know what Talent he would get, but the moment he touched it to begin the fusion, his mind was chanting a single Ability—Telekinesis!

In his previous life, of all the movies about superpowers he had seen, his favorite was always Telekinesis.

Whether it was movies like *Chronicle*, *The Witch*, or *Seobok*, the power of Telekinesis was always displayed in its full glory! In some anime, it was even powerful enough to move mountains and fill seas.

But the final result was not what he’d hoped for. As the fusion completed and entered his body, a notification popped up a moment later:

——

[You have acquired the Talent: Adaptation]

Description: Adaptation allows you to gradually acclimate to any environment or condition, eventually reaching a state of equilibrium where you are no longer affected.

Notes:

①: This Talent is a Passive Talent. The adaptation process will consume a large amount of Energy. Please be sure to replenish your Energy.

②: The Talent will gradually improve with use and training.

③: Destructive damage inflicted by external forces cannot trigger this Talent.

As he read the Talent’s description, Cheng Zongyang’s expression grew more and more surprised.

"This Talent... seems pretty good, actually?" he mused, stroking his chin as he pondered the description.

Slowly, he began to think more deeply about this Talent and its implications.

He could understand why it couldn’t adapt to destructive physical damage; that needed no explanation.

External wounds were obviously something one couldn’t adapt to, but if it were just regular blows, he should be able to gradually adapt to their force and intensity.

But what about attacks from the Magic System? For example, Magic like fire, ice, cold, and drowning, or even Spiritual System damage like Sound Waves.

As long as he wasn’t killed instantly, his body would slowly and gradually adapt until it reached a state of equilibrium.

This meant that while it would affect and harm him at first, after adapting, it wouldn’t be able to affect or harm him at all.

At this thought, Cheng Zongyang’s eyes grew brighter and brighter.

Once his Adaptation Talent was upgraded and enhanced, it would be like having a Talent that granted immunity to Magic, Spiritual, and even some types of physical damage!

"This Talent seems incredibly strong!"

Having figured out its potential, Cheng Zongyang felt this Talent was excellent. Although it wasn’t as overtly powerful as Telekinesis, as a Support System Talent, it was far stronger than most.

However, the initial damage was unavoidable, and he still didn’t know how long the adaptation process would take.

Thinking of this, Cheng Zongyang couldn’t help but go outside. He looked around and happened to spot a basin of water.

He walked over to the basin, took out his watch to time himself, and then placed his palm in the water.

The timer started.

The water had been drawn from the mountains. It felt a little cool as his hand entered the basin, but it was quite comfortable.

The Adaptation Talent was a Passive Talent, so he wasn’t in a hurry. He just stared at his watch. Slowly, Cheng Zongyang began to feel that the water didn’t seem as cold as it was at the beginning.
