In silence, Bai Chuan opened the panel once again, as familiar with it as ever.
The panel's soft white glow once again fell upon his expectant snake eyes.
'Name: Bai Chuan.'
'Species: King Cobra/?'
'Length: 7 meters.'
'Lifespan: 17 years, 9 months.'
'Points: 4 (0%).'
'Abilities: LV3 Ability (Expand), LV2 Ability (Expand), LV1 Ability (Expand).'
'Ability Structure Library (Expand).'
'Editable...'
"Come on!"
Bai Chuan drew a deep breath inside and suppressed the rare nervousness he felt after such a long time spent evolving.
Only then did he select the Ability Structure Library, bringing up the Caiman ability model and a fish ability model he had already saved.
Then he selected Bite LV2 and Underwater Breathing LV2.
His own model was disassembled once more, then the new abilities were inserted and fused.
Inside the panel's space, his large-serpent model began to change before his very eyes.
The small, round, flat head, shaped like a rice scoop, began to swell and grow. His mouth grew longer and narrower, like a wolf's muzzle.
His hard, sharp, but somewhat sparse teeth began to sprout one after another. Finally, a fine mane like a lion's began to grow from the back of his head, its color as bright as blood.
In the blink of an eye, Bai Chuan's small snake head transformed into a head like a Flood Dragon's.
From a distance, the seven-meter-long serpent finally had a trace of a dragon's bearing. Only now could he truly be called a creature that was part snake, part dragon!
Above his mighty, imposing dragon head, a pair of keen eyes as sharp as knives radiated an innate authority that made others afraid to meet his gaze.
Beneath it, a long neck led down to a pair of thick, fearsome sharp claws, which kept opening and closing.
