Devouring the starry sky, the clone evolves into a primordial behemoth.

Chapter 6 The Second Evolution

Being left alone by head instructor Song Tianming, Chen Mo had all sorts of guesses in his mind, but he knew it definitely wasn't a special recruitment by the Limit Martial Arts Academy. After all, the talent he showed was still far from being a true genius monster.

"Chen Mo, you should know that the martial arts combat assessment will have to wait until August in the second half of the year, right?" Song Tianming looked at Chen Mo with a smile and spoke in a gentle tone.

"I know." Chen Mo nodded, a hint of doubt flashing in his eyes, wondering why the head instructor was asking this.

Song Tianming did not give an answer, but instead said:

"The fastest way for a martial artist to improve their strength is to fight monsters. You are currently in the golden age for improving your strength. Making you wait five months to become a formal martial artist is a waste of your time and talent."

"Now there is an opportunity for you to pass the martial arts combat assessment ahead of schedule. It's up to you whether you want to take it or not."

"I'm willing!" Chen Mo blurted out almost without hesitation, without even asking what kind of opportunity it was.

His reaction made Song Tianming and Lin Chong exchange a smile, clearly as expected.

Because every young person who passes the preliminary martial artist assessment is eager to become a martial artist, and there is still a significant gap between a preliminary martial artist and a formal martial artist.

However, what they didn't know was that Chen Mo's eagerness to become a martial artist wasn't just for the official martial artist status; his main goal was to solve the problem of his clones.

He couldn't afford to wait five months. It wasn't just a matter of how to hide his clone; the main problem was that he wouldn't be able to support himself!

His original plan was to wait until he passed the quasi-martial artist assessment, then cultivate the Gene Energy Cultivation Method, and his clone would complete its second evolution. His strength would definitely increase significantly.

If I find a suitable opportunity to reveal my strength, I'm sure I'll gain the attention of the martial arts school's higher-ups, and at the very least, I'll be recruited into the Ultimate Martial Arts School ahead of schedule.

We can figure out a way to bring the clone to the wilderness area later; it shouldn't be too difficult.

However, doing so is inherently uncertain, and now that there are other methods available, Chen Mo is naturally willing to try them.

Seeing Chen Mo's eager eyes, Song Tianming decided not to keep him in suspense and went straight to the point:

"In a few days, a martial arts competition will be held at major military academies in Kyoto. All students under the age of 22 can participate. Those who make it into the top 100 will not only receive generous rewards from the military, but those who meet the skill level will also be directly granted the status of martial arts practitioners."

"This competition is also a way for military academies to compete for funding, so they attach great importance to it and even use all sorts of means. For example, it is very common for students from outside the school to participate in the competition under their names. It is equivalent to an external aid mechanism."

"If you are really willing to participate, I will have you registered under the name of the 56th Military Academy. Meet at the gate of the 56th Military Academy at 8:00 am on March 5th, and go to the military region's garrison with the other candidates who have entered the semi-finals to participate in the next round of the competition."

"The competition is divided into three rounds. You don't need to participate in the first round, the school selection competition. The second round, the points competition, is equivalent to a martial arts combat assessment, which needs to be conducted in a special monster town within the military region. The third round, the arena battle, is only open to the top twenty in the points competition, which you don't need to worry about for now."

"As for the competition rewards, someone will tell you after you finish the points competition. But as long as you represent the 56th Military Academy, the school will give you a reward of 100,000 Chinese yuan, regardless of your performance."

Upon hearing this, Chen Mo almost jumped up and raised both hands in agreement. Wasn't this just a disguised martial arts combat assessment, and the kind that offered him 100,000 yuan to participate? Only a fool would refuse.

At this moment, Lin Chong, who had been mostly silent, interrupted Song Tianming, saying calmly:

"Think carefully before you agree. There's a chance of injury in these kinds of fights."

Upon hearing this, Chen Mo calmed down slightly.

Song Tianming glared at Lin Chong and laughed, "What are you protecting, kid? Do you think I'd hurt him? This martial arts competition is being held in the Fourth Military Region. I guarantee he won't lose an arm or a leg."

The Fourth Military Region was headed by a man surnamed Song.

"Never mind what I said." Lin Chong touched his nose and quickly shut up.

Hearing this, Chen Mo no longer had any concerns and nodded in agreement.

Next, Lin Chong told him about the Five Hearts Towards Heaven cultivation method and then told him to go back and cultivate his genetic energy properly.

Although Lin Zhong knew it was unlikely that Chen Mo would succeed in his training before participating in the military academy competition, he thought, "What if he does? After all, this kid has already given me quite a few surprises."

On his way back, Chen Mo called his parents, but didn't mention that he had become a quasi-martial artist. He only said that he had passed the advanced student assessment and changed to a higher-paying job, telling his parents not to work too hard. He also transferred the remaining 20,000 yuan in his phone to his mother.

He knew that if he told his parents directly that he had become a quasi-martial artist, they might not believe him and might even have unnecessary worries, so he could only proceed step by step.

After returning home, Chen Mo applied for loans from every available lending platform on his phone, raising a total of over 100 million yuan. This amount should be enough to support him through the military academy competition.

Having solved the food problem for the day he created his clone, Chen Mo began cultivating the Five Hearts Towards Heaven Gene Energy Cultivation Method.

"The original text says that the first time you 'sensor' cosmic energy is the most difficult. With my talent for cultivation, it will probably take me a long time to sense it."

"Once you can 'sensitize' it, absorption becomes simple."

"Most geniuses can sense it on their first day of cultivation. But for martial artists with weaker talent, it can take a year or two just to sense the energy of the universe. I don't know how long it will take me."

As Chen Mo began cultivating according to the Five Hearts Facing Heaven method, he pondered silently.

The cold, rented room was completely silent; even breathing was barely audible.

One minute, two minutes, three minutes...

"Huh?" Chen Mo's eyes suddenly widened in the darkness. "This is cosmic energy?"

Just three minutes later, Chen Mo sensed a wisp of energy slowly flowing into his body through the soles of his feet, the palms of his hands, and the Baihui acupoint on the top of his head.

Without a doubt, this is cosmic energy, and this energy is exactly the same as the energy that his clone fed back to him when it digested it. No wonder he was able to sense it so quickly.

"This is the energy of the universe." Chen Mo focused his consciousness on the 'Five Hearts', and his consciousness naturally radiated out thoughts of 'absorbing the energy of the universe'. Naturally, the absorption speed of the soles of his feet, the palms of his hands, and the Baihui acupoint at the top of his head began to increase instantly, increasing by nearly a hundred times.

If in the beginning, the energy of the universe was like water dripping slowly from a crack in a pipe, seeping into Chen Mo's body.

Now, the crack in the water pipe has widened, and it's like a small stream of water is constantly flowing into Chen Mo's body.

He could clearly feel that the energy in his body was increasing at an alarming rate, even faster than the rate at which his body digested and fed back energy. This was because the cells in his body were actively absorbing it!

"According to the cultivation method, because the human body has never consciously absorbed cosmic energy since birth, it has always been in a state of hunger. The first time it absorbs cosmic energy is the most abundant and the fastest time to increase its strength!"

"Because of the energy feedback from my clone, my body cells have already been tempered by energy, so I can absorb more. However, I have always passively received it before, and this is the first time I have actively absorbed it. I don't know how much I can absorb."

Time flew by during cultivation, and more than three hours passed in the blink of an eye. When the absorption of cosmic energy gradually weakened, Chen Mo realized that this first cultivation session was about to end.

"I feel like my strength has probably more than doubled!" Chen Mo clenched his fist in the darkness, having a rough guess about the improvement in his strength. Of course, whether it was that much or not, he would have to test it to know.

The next day, Chen Mo stayed in the rented room to cultivate his genetic energy, but the results were far from comparable to his first cultivation session.

On March 3, two days before the military academy competition, Chen Mo gave up his training and left the rented room.

Because the clone is about to undergo its second evolution!

(You can guess which creature's genes were chosen for the second evolution (#^.^#))
