Armed Train in the Apocalypse

Chapter 58: Chapter 57: Energy Storage Core

”Energy Storage Core” = lv3 ”Pan-energy Transformation” + lv3 ”High-energy Compression” + lv1 ”Energy Shaping”

Previously, Su Huan had already pushed ”Pan-energy Transformation” to the threshold of evolution by devouring a large number of Tier One Pan-energy Crystals.

And devouring the heart of the blood hound provided a substantial amount of active pan-energy.

However, he was still far from truly evolving into a Tier One Professional.

His current skill was only lv1 ”Energy Compression”.

To evolve into ”High-energy Compression,” he needed to methodically raise energy compression to lv3, then take the corresponding genetic potion under the right conditions to stimulate evolution into a higher-level ability.

But right now, there was neither time to enhance the ability nor the potion to stimulate the genes.

The normal evolutionary path was definitely not feasible.

But the god governing evolution is not a petty conductor; he has left a slim chance for creatures eager to pursue evolution.

That is to compress the most violent energy, forcing the body’s instincts to evolve through the most primitive method!

”Boom boom boom...”

The continuous explosions illuminated everyone’s faces, with different pupils reflecting a tiny figure engulfed by the swelling firelight.

The world fell silent, with the waves in the river and the speeding train simultaneously frozen in place.

A faint voice rang in everyone’s ears.

It rose from the center of the explosion.

Sounding like the tolling of a doomsday bell, yet also the wild laughter of a new world.

The manic laughter carried a hysterical madness, overshadowing all turbulence, crushing all emotions, leaving only the purest, most fervent desire for evolution.

Gale, heat wave, firelight... all energy began to gather in an instant.

With waves crashing against the bridge piers, the Evolution Beast rammed its head, bleeding, the train let out a piercing whistle, yet that mass of firelight seemed to rewind in time.

It was being insanely compressed!

”He’s alive!”

Yu Yue was the first to exclaim.

For some reason, when that figure she both feared and dreaded appeared once more at the front of the train, her heart felt like it was filled with a satisfying joy.

This emotion came so quickly that she didn’t even have time to discern it.

Su Huan felt his state was terrible, his body full of chaotic pan-energy, like an ant nest ravaged by a flood, with ants frantically scurrying about.

In his hands lay a compressed mass of energy potent enough to blow up both him and the armed train entirely; yet under his compression, this energy neither weakened, but instead, its power soared madly by geometric multiples.

But this feeling was also so wonderful, as if treading barefoot on the highest mountain peak, each step feeling the gritty cut underfoot, with the howling gales at his ears!

The vast sky was no longer distant; it was within reach!

No one knew if the next step would lead to an abyss or ascension.

But this is the allure of evolution!

White Snake Mojiang also sensed Su Huan’s threat, its eerie blue vertical pupils fixed on him, the long and forked snake head spewing forth a dozen times in an instant.

The body moved serpentine, with scales creaking as they pressed against the bridge pillars.

The neck retracted.

The next moment, it shot towards Su Huan on the train.

”Roar—”

The snake head, as large as a window, opened wide against the wind, as if to engulf the entire locomotive.

Licking the rust-like taste on the upper jaw, seeing the attacking giant white snake, Su Huan’s face twisted to the extreme with maniacal laughter.

Just high-energy compression? Wasn’t unfamiliar in his past life!

The fireball in his hands was forcibly compressed to the size of his palm, but that wasn’t the end.

Su Huan’s hands gripped the fireball from the void, drawing it apart to the sides.

The slender flame transformed into the shape of a javelin.

lv1 ”Energy Shaping”, done!

As the flame javelin took shape, all chaotic energy within instantly fell into order, driven by a mysterious command, merging into the heart, an ordinary body radiating an inexplicable luster.

At this moment, Su Huan had fully advanced to Tier One Professional, ”Energy Storage Core”.

”Mojiang!”

With the explosive shout, the flame javelin was hurled directly into the white snake’s mouth.

”Boom—”

A more grandiose explosion erupted, accompanied by the white snake’s agonized screech.

As the silver-white body plummeted from the sky, even the passengers who wished Su Huan dead couldn’t help but howl like wolves atop the roof in cheers!

The oppressive atmosphere inside the sightseeing carriage was instantly swept away, as Boss and Lao Er clenched their fists, their faces flushed with excitement, shouting out loud.

Both frantically shaking Lao San.

Lao San, while uttering his trademark phrases and cursing his two brothers, still used every vulgar word to express how impressive the conductor was in his heart, venting pent-up emotions.

Yu Jing, looking at the man amidst the fire, glanced at the wrench in her hand, feeling tasteless. When she looked up again, her eyes seemed to carry the fervor of seeing a locomotive for the first time.

’This man seems more capable of boiling the silent blood than machinery.’

However...

Seeing her mother beside her, who was as excited as a little girl, crying and laughing, Yu Jing’s beautiful phoenix eyes flashed a hint of helplessness.

Felt like she and her mother were about to be dragged into his embrace.

’This is a bit out of line. Hopefully, he’ll have some consideration.’

Standing on the rear rooftop, Lu Xiao watched the epic mythical-like scene, with a complex expression, finally understanding why Su Huan said, ”Such a grand scene requires the conductor”.

He truly couldn’t handle it, whether he admitted it or not.

Passing a few passengers jumping atop the roof, he found a window to climb through.

In the cockpit, Huang Sea embraced Qi Xiaobai’s wheelchair, crying his eyes out, while the latter looked helpless.

Liang Kuan, with a fierce gaze, stared at the fallen white snake, pulled the whistle.

Pushed down the lever, accelerating to the maximum.

Slamming into it vigorously.

Whether steel or flesh, only one could evolve into a dragon today!

Feeling the increasingly berserk armed train beneath his feet, Su Huan unreservedly infused energy into the engine.

Previous, moving the massive train with his energy was strenuous, but now with the formation of the Energy Storage Core within, pan-energy saw terrifying growth.

If forced to give a figure, Su Huan suspected that his energy’s individual metrics could reach level five, maybe even above level six.

Firmly standing among Tier Two Professions.

This was the path Su Huan chose, forcing himself into desperation, to either evolve, or fizzle like a firework.

Now, it seemed the firework successfully went off.

But it wasn’t him who burst.

The explosion in the white snake’s mouth almost tore its mouth apart, blood splashing like rain into the river, sparking a frenzy among Evolution Beasts for the prize.

The next moment, the half-fallen white snake was struck by the berserk armed train, hurling it away.

But with the snake’s body being too long, the front half flew away while the back half hung onto the train’s front.

The snake’s head dropped onto the track sleepers, ground relentlessly by the armed train.

Mojiang was like the lady white snake ravaged by a dragon about to evolve.

Thinking this way, it made sense.

The victor was entitled to enjoy everything of the defeated.

Soul, and even the flesh!

Looking at the enormous white snake body at his feet, Su Huan rubbed his chin and asked Lao San, who was running over.

”Want some snake sashimi?”
