Infinite Evolution System Made Me Too OP!

Chapter 21: Super Strength Trait

.......

"Haha! You shouldn't be jealous! Your son is doing quite well himself! He just needs a little push in the right direction, and I'm sure he'll surpass my son in no time!" Elder Yong responded with a smug expression as he continued stroking his beard.

"..."

The Outer Deacon, who spoke of his son, regretted ever saying anything to that shameless bastard. He should've guessed that it would just end up as a bragging session..

Since I know that my son will not win this thing, I hope that Azmodeus boy will take this Elder Yong down by a peg or two... He doesn't need to win; he just needs to put up a good fight...

This Outer Deacon was called Elder Dong and he was the one who made an exception and admitted Azmodeus into the sect all those years ago.

It was still a mystery to him how a boy who was deemed useless trash was able to become strong enough to take on four disciples in the Viscera Refining Large Success Stage and ultimately kill them. Even when considering his 'history' with this boy, it was far out of his expectations. But in the end, this was a world where the one with the biggest fist ruled.

And there were rules set in place so that elders weren't allowed to delve too far into the secrets of juniors. This also included trying to take advantage of any fortuitous encounters that any disciples may or may not have had.

So in this case, there was nothing that any of the Outer Sect Deacons could do but speculate about what could've caused such immense changes in a boy who was widely known as the weakest of trash in the Yang Sect.

Even so, there was still an Outer Sect Admittance Competition going on...

-

"This is quite interesting..." Azmodeus muttered as he watched a particularly tall boy, around fifteen years old, mow through all of the various participants with overwhelming physical prowess.

A Super Strength Trait...?

He had been looking for a Trait like this since the moment he encountered the Shadow Panther, but in the end, such a rare Trait was nearly impossible to find...

However, he was immediately taken out of his reverie by the robotic female voice of the Infinite Evolution System.

BLING!

*Ding!* *The host can use up Evolution Essence to roll for the Abilities and Traits of other beings!*

*Ding!* *Every further roll increases the cost of rolling by ten times. (Only applies when you are rolling for the Traits of a single target in repeated succession.)*

*Ding!* *Simply touch the being you wish to copy the Trait of to roll for it!*

"Oh?"

Azmodeus had no idea that there was such a feature to the Infinite Evolution System, but this served as quite a pleasant surprise.

If what this says is correct, then all I need to do is touch someone and pay in order to roll for one of their Traits...

After understanding this, he instantly took action and dashed in the direction of the large man, making his first movement since the competition began!

It took no longer than a second for him to reach the body of Yang Cho, the son of Elder Yong.

"!!!" The large young man saw the small frame of a boy sneak up on him as he threw one of his brick-sized fists in the direction of the boy.

It looked like the fist would make contact with the boy's stomach and send him flying. However, before it could, the boy slid underneath the incoming fist, effectively dodging it and making his way under the legs of the young man.

*Tap!*

Azmodeus tapped the robust young man on his lower back before making a quick retreat toward the edge of the arena.

"???" Yang Cho had no idea what was going on.

One second, he saw a little rat attempt to get the upper hand on him, and the next second, that same rat retreated to the very back of the arena, seemingly running away...

I didn't even use that much strength in my fists... Why did he run away?

He just couldn't figure out the reasoning behind the rat's actions. But after a moment, he lightly shook his head, took his fist out of the cracked hole he made in the ground, and got back into the fight.

-

Meanwhile, in a certain remote corner of the Yang Arena Ring, Azmodeus was looking over a few pop-ups that appeared in his vision.

BLING!

*Ding!* *Would you like to roll for one of the abilities of the cultivator known as 'Yang Mo the Iron Fist'?*

*Ding!* *Yes/No*

He immediately clicked the yes button as 10 Evolution Essence was deducted from his Evolution Essence Bank.

Following this price being paid, a roulette with five or six evenly sized triangles was spun in the clockwise direction.

BING! BING! BING!

A few tittering sounds were made as the roulette pointer eventually found its final destination and landed on...

*Ding!* *You have acquired the Special Innate Trait of Yang Cho's bloodline, 'Super Explosive Diarrhea'!*

Azmodeus coughed up blood right then and there as he fell to the ground with a crimson liquid drizzling down his lips.

Elder Yong and the rest of the Outer Deacons were watching this go down with confusion evident in their expressions.

"Did my son really do that much damage to him when they fought just a second ago?" Elder Yong asked with a puzzled voice.

"...I don't know..." Elder Dong mumbled.

He was beginning to lose hope in Azmodeus somehow coming out on top in this competition...

Let alone winning the competition, he wasn't even sure that he would be able to make it into the Top 20...

-

As discussion prevailed in the VIP stands, in a certain remote corner of the Yang Arena fighting ring, various young men aging from 14 to 19 were being sent flying in every direction.

Their ceaseless battles caused the once-three hundred or so contestants to dwindle down to no more than one hundred twenty...

And of those 120, a boy with long black hair and sword-like eyebrows was currently going through quite the quagmire, as he had already rolled twice for the Super Strength Ability.

And so far, all he had acquired were the 'Super Explosive Diarrhea' and 'Deadly Urine Shooter' Traits...

"Is my luck busted up or something??" Azmodeus muttered with a despondent tone, as he had already spent 110 Evolution Essence and obtained the most useless traits in existence!

Although not everything was so bad, after all, he was able to recycle both of the traits and gain back 70 of that 110 Evolution Essence. But still...!

*Sigh...* He let out an exasperated sigh before deciding he would roll one more time.

If he didn't obtain what he wanted with this roll, then he would just give up and win this stupid competition before going home to sulk!

*Ding!* *Yes/No*

Azmodeus clicked yes in the same way as the two times before.

BING! BING! BING!

A roulette was once again spun as the roulette pointer made its way around the last three options, and just as he was about to open his eyes to see what he got, a few system notifications rang out inside his head.

*Ding!* *You have obtained the I Rank Trait, 'Super Strength'*

*Ding!* *Your overall combat power has moderately improved!*
