Energy Points: 52000 

After reading the "Attribute Page", Noah was very satisfied. This evolution not only improved the basic attributes, but the most important thing was that the measurement unit became tons! There is also an additional skill and talent, and "Regeneration" has evolved into "Advanced Regeneration"! 

Talent name: "Spiritual Assimilation" 

Talent Type: Passive Auxiliary 

Talent Introduction: Can subtly assimilate the spiritual thinking of other creatures, allowing them to identify with you, praise you, and even worship you! 

What kind of talent is this? It's not combat-oriented; it's purely auxiliary. What is the use of assimilating other people's spiritual thinking if it's not just instant assimilation? Noah complained inwardly. The system swallowed 300,000 of his "Energy Points" to evolve this kind of talent, making him feel like he had been duped by a black-hearted businessman. 

Skill name: "Death Whiplash" 

Skill type: Active combat skills 

Skill introduction: Instantly strengthen your own tentacles, increasing their strength by 10 times, and causing damage 10 times your own strength. 

This skill, however, seemed good. Now he had 60 tons of power, and could inflict 600 tons of damage. "Eh?! Why is there still a peak period?" Noah wondered. After looking at his "Energy Points", he realized he only had 52,000 left. It was not enough to grow and evolve again, so he had to give up temporarily. It was time to replenish his food supply, as all the passive food storage had been exhausted. 

Just as he was about to hunt, a human team appeared within his sensing range. This team was obviously heading towards the seaside. In the context of Blue Star's great evolution, humans no longer dared to use aircraft without caution. The evolved creatures in the sky could tear apart steel aircraft with ease, so traveling on the ground was deemed safer. 

From what he sensed, there were a total of 6 people in the team, all strong and well-equipped. "Don't rush to hunt now. Let's see what this group of humans is planning to do," Noah thought to himself. His sensing range had reached 5,000 kilometers, but with Blue Star having doubled in size, he could only sense a small part of the land in the Dragon Kingdom. 

"Captain, how long until we get there?" asked the second member of the human team. 

"We should be there soon, it's about an hour away," the middle-aged captain replied. 

"They said that the turtle is willing to cooperate with us humans. Is this credible? I always feel that these evolved animals are up to no good," the second team member continued. 

"No matter what, if we can reach a cooperative relationship with a deep-sea super lord, it will be worth it," the captain said firmly. 

"Alas! Once these evolved and mutated animals break through the third level of evolution, they can ignore most thermal weapons. It's really troubling! We humans only have the highest level of level 2 evolvers, which is far from comparable!" remarked one of the three team members with a sigh.

"Who says otherwise? Animals are born with evolutionary advantages. Once they reach level 3, their IQ will be no lower than that of humans. Level 4 can even communicate with their minds. It's so abnormal!" the team member complained. 

"Okay, okay! Just concentrate on your journey and don't forget our mission this time!" the captain said. The few people immediately stopped talking and focused on their way. 

Noah could tell from the conversation that the old turtle seemed to want to cooperate with humans. Moreover, these people seemed to be human evolvers, talking about evolutionary levels like 3rd and 4th. Noah didn't know much about the definition of these level divisions as mentioned by humans, but he had evolved 4 times. He wondered which level counted for him. No matter what, hunting came first.

He rushed to the northern area with his three clones. This was the territory of the "Ancient Mutated Great White Shark," which had plenty of resources. On the way, he noticed that his three clones had transformed into smaller versions of the "Abyss Octopus," and their attributes had become stronger. Although his size hadn't increased significantly, his strength, speed, and defense had improved notably. The saying "concentration is the essence" seemed true.

In less than an hour, he arrived in the territory of the great white shark. The shellfish here had grown larger, from two or three meters to five or six meters. It seemed that everything was evolving. The shellfish were perfect for food, so he controlled the clones to start catching them. He himself destroyed the shellfish with his stronger-than-steel tentacles, breaking their shells effortlessly. These shells were as fragile as paper against Noah.

"Ding! The host gets 500 energy points by swallowing the 'Ancient Tridacna'!"

"Ding! The host gets 400 energy points by swallowing 'Deep Sea Mutated Conch'!"

While eating, he used his sensor to monitor the Great White Shark, the lord of this sea area, which seemed to be sleeping at the bottom of the sea. "We have to find a way to kill this big guy!" Noah thought, showing a cold expression. Last time, he was chased by the shark and lost several clones. This revenge had to be taken. Confronting it head-on was risky, so he had to find a way to trick it. As he enjoyed his meal, he devised a plan. Since the shark was a big fish, he needed to throw out the bait to catch it.

He focused on eating, accumulating "Energy Points," and preparing to evolve and grow to his peak before executing his combat plan. In the southern sea, a giant turtle more than 200 meters long stood before a group of humans.

"Your Majesty Jugui, my name is Li Minglong! I have been ordered to come to discuss cooperation with you!" the captain said, suppressing the fear in his heart. The five team members behind him were trembling with fear and unable to think. This was the first time they had seen such a terrifying giant beast. How could this be a turtle? They believed it was Xuanwu.

"Humans, this time I want to cooperate with you on the spiritual rain. I wonder if you can bring sincerity?" A loud noise came from the mouth of the giant turtle.
