Daily Evolution from Mastering Tai Chi

In other words,

this individual he resurrected is no longer the same Ice Ridge Dragon as before its death.

Instead, it possesses characteristics similar to two Ice Ridge Dragons.

"But this is already enough."

Wang Ye looked up again at the Ice Ridge Dragon in front of him.

This was the first creature in the world to be resurrected,

and also the only dinosaur in modern times.

It is a living fossil in the truest sense.

Moreover, it seems that the intelligence of this Ice Ridge Dragon is very high.

At least,

not lower than humans.

As for why Wang Ye came to this conclusion,

it’s because the various behaviors of this Ice Ridge Dragon are full of spirituality,

even though its throat structure is simple, and it cannot speak,

Wang Ye can still see the simple meanings it wants to convey from its eyes.

Wang Ye thought for a moment,

and used Mind Control on the Ice Ridge Dragon in front of him.

His consciousness instantly turned into a sharp blade and stabbed into the Ice Ridge Dragon’s sea of consciousness.

A few milliseconds later, the body of the Ice Ridge Dragon began to tremble violently.

But after struggling for a moment, the Ice Ridge Dragon regained its calm.

Its eyes also returned to their original clarity.

"Controlling it is much more difficult than low-intelligence creatures like eagles, but easier than controlling humans," Wang Ye murmured softly as his consciousness returned to his body.

The difficulty of Mind Control mainly depends on the spiritual power of the target, which is the combined attribute of intelligence, thought, and willpower. That is to say, with the same level of intelligence, the amount of stored memory in the brain and the firmness of will also affect Wang Ye’s Mind Control. The Ice Ridge Dragon now has intelligence equivalent to an adult man, but its willpower may only be equivalent to an infant, as there is no memory about the outside world in the Ice Ridge Dragon’s brain, like a newborn cub.

Therefore, controlling it is much simpler than controlling an adult man.

Back when Wang Ye was in the legion,

he actually tried to use Mind Control on those big figures.

However, since those big figures had intelligence and willpower at Human Peak Level, Wang Ye found it extremely difficult to control them, and even if he managed to take control after overcoming great difficulties, there is still a certain chance they could break free as time passed.

So, he knew very well that for people with strong willpower, his Mind Control was not omnipotent.

Moreover, the controlled target would occupy part of his sea of consciousness, so there was a limit to the number of targets he could control, and he wouldn’t waste too much sea of consciousness space on life forms that were meaningless to him.

Right now, this Ice Ridge Dragon was indeed a very valuable life form,

to say nothing else, just this genetic embryo,

had an extremely high potential.

For those small creatures, if their size is cultivated too large, it could lead to genetic collapse and death,

but currently, this Ice Ridge Dragon is a large creature itself, with a size potential much higher than creatures like Golden Eagles and eagles. In the future, as Wang Ye becomes more proficient in Mediation Creation, cultivating it into a hundred-meter-long monster that can destroy cities might not be a problem.

In the future, it might become a capable subordinate of Wang Ye.

Thinking of this,

Wang Ye began to control the Ice Ridge Dragon’s actions.

He gave a command in the sea of consciousness of the Ice Ridge Dragon.

Destroy the giant rock in front of you.

In the instant the command was formed, the eyes of the Ice Ridge Dragon flickered with a crimson light,

and its body charged towards the giant rock in front like a black lightning bolt,

its jagged teeth clenched the edge of the rock, and its neck pulled forcefully.

Boom—!!!

Under the tremendous pressure, the giant rock exploded into countless fragments, scattering in all directions.

The ferocity and speed of the attack made Wang Ye nod involuntarily.

He then continued to give more complex instructions.

That is to have the Ice Ridge Dragon carve the fragmented rock into a circle.

Upon receiving the instruction, the Ice Ridge Dragon was initially stunned, then began to slowly gnaw at the giant rock with its teeth, painstakingly chewing down the irregular edges,

and finally, after three minutes, the fragmented rock was shaped into a somewhat irregular circle.

Indeed, controlling creatures with high intelligence is much more convenient. Wang Ye thought.

If it were the eagles or Golden Eagles he previously controlled,

even after being controlled, they could only execute simple commands.

Anything slightly more complex,

and they would crash.

After all, Mind Control only makes these creatures recognize their master,

Wang Ye is just the one giving the orders,

but the actions are still reliant on the controlled subject’s own abilities.

And now this Ice Ridge Dragon,

can even follow Wang Ye’s instructions for detailed sculpting and making tools,

almost indistinguishable from humans except for appearance.

Just when Wang Ye was about to further test the intelligence limit of the Ice Ridge Dragon,

the surrounding ice layers suddenly rumbled loudly,

he realized that the underground chamber he had carved out,

seemed to have become a bit unstable due to the "resurrection ritual" just now.

The ice layer above had already begun to show countless cracks, as if it would collapse at any moment.

Wang Ye frowned, starting to ponder how to place the Ice Ridge Dragon.

If he brought it to the surface and it was seen by the station members stationed here,

it would inevitably cause a sensation.

So the best method,

might be to keep the Ice Ridge Dragon underground.

After all, this Ice Ridge Dragon, after his modification,

no longer needs to consume flesh and blood for nutrition,

and can barely sustain life on the faint light around and the heat sources from underground.

Thinking of this, Wang Ye began to dig underground.

He planned to place the Ice Ridge Dragon in a spot far from the ice layer.

In this way, it would not easily be discovered by humans.

Wang Ye’s hands continuously scooped the ground.

Countless bits of dirt and rock flew up, and in the blink of an eye, he and the Ice Ridge Dragon had delved into the rock layer.

The underground ice chamber they originally inhabited also collapsed violently after they left.

Even the nearby lake was somewhat affected, rippling with countless waves.

At this moment, Wang Ye had already reached several hundred meters down into the rock layer.

With the Earth Escape Skill, he swiftly carved out a stable and spacious area.

While excavating,

Wang Ye also discovered,

he seemed to be able to directly absorb various elements from the outside through his skin,

for example, when he came into contact with underground Graphite Ore, he could directly absorb the Carbon Atoms from the Graphite Ore into his body, transforming them into his internal nutrients.

"This ability... seems to be something I didn’t have before."

Wang Ye paused his excavation, his brows slightly furrowed.

Could it be an ability awakened during the challenge of Celestial Palace Leap?

He recalled that at that time, when he fell at Mach 7 speed and his body collapsed,

he relied on his body absorbing matter to recover.

Otherwise, just relying on the bit of energy provided by ultraviolet rays would

not have been enough to restore him from bodily collapse to full health in such a short time.

But although he knew he survived by absorbing matter through his skin,

he did not understand the origin or the principle of this ability.

After the challenge, Wang Ye also tried touching the walls but never absorbed matter through his skin again.

This led him to give up further exploring this ability.

But now, Wang Ye unexpectedly found,

he could actually slowly absorb Carbon Atoms from ores with his skin again!

Although the rate of absorption and devouring is far slower than direct consumption,

this method of touch-based absorption has the advantage of convenience and can be done at any time.

As long as Wang Ye was digging and touched rocks or ores with Carbon Atoms,

he could slowly devour the Carbon Atoms.

How abundant are Carbon Atoms on Earth? It’s known that all known animals on Earth are carbon-based life forms! This alone proves how rich Carbon elements are on Earth, as without many Carbon elements, such numerous carbon-based life forms could not have been nurtured.

"This ability... should be able to assist my complete carbon acetylene skeletal transformation!" Wang Ye’s eyes slightly lit up.

He was currently lacking Carbon Atoms,

who would have thought his body would evolve this touch-absorption ability!

It’s amazing how needs are met just at the right time!
