Powerful New Species

In his grogginess, Lin Xiao dreamed that he seemed to have done something earth-shattering. Or so it seemed. He suddenly woke up to find himself lying on the God Seat, his head splitting and his entire body weak, as though he had just been X-ed and C-ed by ten ravenous beauties, then C-ed again and X-ed again, X-ed and then C-ed, C-ed and then X-ed, back and forth through countless rounds of XXOO. Lying on the God Seat, he did not even have the strength to move a finger or muster the slightest bit of mental energy.

The Divine Kingdom was completely quiet. Dozens of Fishmen Divine Guards stood silently outside the palace like statues.

Lin Xiao lay sideways on the God Seat for a long while before letting out a soft breath. "Deity Interface!"

The Divine Domain panel unfolded. He examined it carefully and immediately noticed something was wrong.

Deity Interface:

Username: Lin Xiao (Citizen ID: txwd542154895147)

True Name: Cyberlex Meyer.

God Name: Lord of Gray Mist, King of Endless Tide, Lord of the Seven Seas.

Godhead: None
Divine Profession: None (Creation)

Divinity: 1+(1).

Divine Fire: Not ignited.

Divine Power: 0.

Divine Transcendent Power: Tide Calling.

Divine Kingdom: Sea of Grey Mist.

Sect: Fishmen Ancestral God.

Believers: Gray Mist Fishmen.

Class: None.

Faith Points: 0.

He remembered that he had previously possessed one point of Divine Power and more than two hundred thousand Faith Points. Now, they had all become zero. Yet under Divinity, there was an additional point enclosed in parentheses.

He focused his consciousness on it. A strange expression appeared on his face, then his eyes widened as his face filled with wild delight.

"Holy crap, it can work like this?!"

The point of Divinity within the parentheses was indeed a point of Divinity, but it had not yet condensed.

Simply put, he had succeeded. After consuming four portions of pure Bloodline Source, five Species Life Imprints, two Propagation Cards, one Two-Star Card, one point of Divine Power, and over two hundred thousand Faith Points, he had successfully fused a new species, obtained the Creation Divine Profession, and gained one point of Divinity.

However, because his current strength was insufficient, the Creation Divine Profession could not yet be activated, so it was displayed in parentheses.

This point of Divinity was the reward for his successful creation, a reward from some unseen law.

Still due to insufficient Divine Power and Faith Points, this point of Divinity could not yet be manifested either.

He had to gather one hundred million units of Faith Points before he could manifest this point of Divinity.

It seemed no different from condensing Divinity normally, but the difference was actually enormous.

Normally, condensing Divinity required at least one hundred million Faith Points and ten points of Divine Power, and even then success was not guaranteed.

Now, he only needed one hundred million Faith Points. No Divine Power was required, and he was guaranteed to condense one point of Divinity. The difference was huge.

In other words, he now had two points of Divinity guaranteed. If he performed well in this Final Exam and obtained the point of Divinity in the Class Teacher's possession, would he not have three points of Divinity while still in his first year of high school? Lin Xiao's breathing quickened. If that really happened, he could definitely fulfill the prerequisite for advancing to a demigod before the College Entrance Examination. When that time came, he would certainly get into a good university.

And the key to all of this lay in his performance in this Final Exam.

And the key to whether he performed well in this Final Exam lay in whether this newly condensed species was any good.

Rubbing his hands together, Lin Xiao summoned the Creation Cube and cautiously poured his consciousness into it. He saw a sphere of light emitting a faint orange glow, and an attribute panel immediately appeared in his mind—

Five-Star Species Card—Unknown Species (Legendary): Obtain 200 Unknown Species at once.

Note: Half male, half female.

Race: Unknown Species.

Category: Demi-human Race.

Rank: Intermediate Race.

Class: None.

Talents: Underwater Breathing, Elementary Super Strength, Elementary Regeneration, Scale Shell.

Skill: Bloodthirst.

Specialties: Intermediate Swimming, Elementary Swift Gait, Ape Arms.

Constitution: 1.8 (Built like a bull—that's you.)
Strength: 1.7+1 (Born with monstrous strength, nearly triple that of an adult man.)
Agility: 1.2+0.5 (Comparable to a professional sprinter with a certain degree of specialized training.)
Spirit: 1 (Not much different from ordinary humans; generally incapable of producing spellcasting classes.)
Evaluation: A never-before-seen amphibious humanoid species with monstrous strength far beyond that of ordinary humans.

"Now that's something!"

Lin Xiao did not bother looking at anything else. He only looked at these attributes, then brought up the attribute panel of the Gray Mist Fishmen, the Kinfolk currently within his Divine Domain, for comparison—

Race: Gray Mist Fishmen (Low-Rank Race)

Category: Demi-human Race
Rank: Lower Tier One
Class: None
Talent: Underwater Breathing

Skill: None

Specialty: Basic Swimming
Constitution: 0.6 (An adult human is 1 point.)
Strength: 0.5 (Even an eighty-year-old man's momentary burst of strength might surpass yours.)
Agility: 0.4/1.1 (On land/in water)

Spirit: 0.4 (Even genetic mutation could not make them spellcasters.)
Evaluation: An extremely weak aquatic race.

There was simply no comparison. In every aspect, they utterly crushed the Murlocs. Even underwater, it was the same, because this newly born Unknown Species was also amphibious and could still crush the Murlocs underwater.

Using an adult human male's strength as one point, this new species possessed nearly twice the constitution of an ordinary human, nearly three times the strength, more than twice the agility, intelligence no worse than humans, and so on.

And those were only their base attributes, without counting their four Talents, one Skill, and three Specialties.

Their four Talents were Underwater Breathing, Elementary Super Strength, Elementary Regeneration, and Scale Shell.

There was no need to explain Underwater Breathing. Those who knew, knew.

Elementary Super Strength granted an additional point of Strength.

Elementary Regeneration meant that this new species possessed recovery abilities superior to those of ordinary humans. He had no idea which species this ability had been inherited from.

Scale Shell meant that this species possessed a thick layer of scales. Since Murlocs also had scales but did not have it listed as a Talent, it was clear that the new species' scales had far greater defensive power.

The Bloodthirst Skill was likely inherited from the Black-Backed Gnolls. Its effect was simple: once blood was drawn, Gnolls' fighting spirit increased, slightly raising their resistance to abnormal and negative conditions such as hypnosis and fear.

There were three Specialties: Intermediate Swimming, Elementary Swift Gait, and Ape Arms.

Intermediate Swimming was likewise inherited from the Murlocs, but it was faster than the Murlocs' Basic Swimming.

Elementary Swift Gait, as its name implied, meant running quickly. The additional 0.5 points of Agility came with this Specialty.

Ape Arms meant that this species could dual-wield two-handed weapons at the same time, similar to a Warrior Class skill called Titan Grip.

"This is practically a race built for Berserkers!"

Lin Xiao immediately matched this series of Talents and Specialties to a certain powerful melee class. If this species could also change class into Berserkers—no, even if they merely became Warriors—their combat power would increase tremendously.

Unfortunately, Class Cards were far too difficult to obtain. Their rarity was second only to Divinity Cards. Even his own father probably did not have one.
