10 hours later, Noah opened his eyes.
There were again black materials coating his skin.
It smelt like shit, even worse than shit.
"Yaak! Let's take a bath first."
He ran toward the water and jumped into it.
But the moment he jumped, something also jumped out from the water.
It was a shark.
"Oh shit! Where the fuck did this shark come from? Last time there wasn't any."
It was not a normal shark, but a megalodon.
It jumped with its enormous jaw opened. If Noah fell into that huge mouth, he would be finished.
Damn it!
He instantly created a 30-meter-long spear. He didn't even hear the prompt about how much mana it took, he just confirmed. He didn't have time to calculate in this situation.
He plunged the spear inside the mouth, and after 13 meters, it penetrated into something.
With this, Noah got a ground to hold and jumped up using that reverse force.
He reverted back to the ground.
His heart was still palpating.
The shark reached almost to the ground, but Noah punched it hard out of instinct.
Bam!
It turned into blood mist instantly.
[Ding! You have killed a megalodon. 5000 exp is added to your panel.]
"What the hell? How?"
Then he remembered, he got a 10x increment, so his strength was now 250 tonnes or more.
With this much force, a puny megalodon was nothing much.
But the main thing was, this water was like an ocean. He was lucky that time to get an island nearby, otherwise, he would have turned into fish feed. So there should be other marine species present here.
Noah didn't activate his search skill before. He was so smelly that he just ran here and jumped without thinking about anything.
Now he activated the skill and found 3 more powerful auras lurking there. The blood of the previous one fell into the water, and probably those 3 were coming by the smell of the blood.
But Noah wanted to take a bath.
"Okay, I'll do it later. Now let's check the result of the gene evolution serum."
"Status."
[Name: Noah Aldric
Talent: Creation (Unranked)
Vitality: 11200/11200
Level: 17
Strength: 5600
Speed: 34700
Mana: 20000/20200
Spirit: 1900
Exp: 2.4M/3.5M
Coins: 1M]
His stats were now insane. He felt invincible. But then he remembered what happened the last time when he became overconfident.
"I now have more than 20000 mana points. Let's create a multiplication skill."
He closed his eyes and thought of creating a skill that would multiply his exp and coins 20 times after killing a monster.
He couldn't get anything more than this right now. His next target was directly 100x.
But 20x would do fine right now.
All his 20000 mana points were gone, and a skill core appeared in his hand.
He absorbed the skill. The skills he created were all passive skills. Passive skills were more expensive than active skills.
Noah wanted to try the effect right now.
And 3 more targets were running or swimming toward him.
He had 200 mana points left. He created a harpoon and aimed at the mana signature that was coming.
Hush!
He threw it like a javelin.
The harpoon sliced through the air and directly penetrated one of the megalodon's bodies.
[Ding! You have killed a megalodon. 100000 exp is added to your panel.]
Damn! It really worked.
So that meant he could get 20x more every time he hunted.
When one of them died, the other two ran away from the area.
Noah saw that the area was cleared and he jumped down.
The cold water gave him an instant refresh. All his smelly waste material washed away.
He bathed for 10 minutes, then came out.
Now he needed to upgrade the regeneration speed. His mana tank was way higher than before now, so that skill wouldn't work for him well.
He needed something that could regenerate in percentage.
Like 1% in 1 minute.
But that kind of skill would cost him dearly.
So he tried to check the price.
[50000 mana points needed. Confirm?]
As expected, he would have to wait for a while to get his hands on this skill.
But now was the time for him to go.
His speed was now 68 km per second. This level of speed was far beyond the capabilities of his current body.
He could at most tolerate 50 km per second.
If he ran with this speed, he would be able to reach the Earth civilization in 100 seconds if there were no one to stop him.
But would that be so easy?
"Let's find out. But I should wait for at least a day to get some mana points before leaving. I don't think the journey would be this peaceful," Noah thought in his mind.
After everything was done, Noah now needed to create the flying skill. That would give him safety over ground animals. As for sky monsters, he would think about that later.
1 day passed. He got 2880 mana points.
He created a flying skill with 2000 points and left the 880 points as they were.
"The biggest dream of humanity, to fly in the sky without any instruments. Let's fulfill our dream."
Noah was excited to try the skill.
He first stood up straightly, then activated the skill. He felt his body become weightless instantly. The effect of gravity vanished from him and he started to float.
The best part was that he could control how much higher he wanted to be.
Then he stopped at 10 meters height from the ground and tried to move in midair.
First, he lost control, slammed into a tree, and fell to the ground.
Ouch! Ouch!
He was just pretending. With his physical strength and endurance, this level of hit could do nothing to him.
But the excitement he felt while flying was a fantastic feeling.
He started practicing again and again. The flying speed was similar to his speed attributes.
It would be an even more perfect execution of the speed attributes, as on the ground there were more obstacles, so speed couldn't reach its highest potential.
Noah again started practicing his flying skill. He wanted to master it before he left the forest for good.
After 4 hours of constant trying and falling, he finally was able to fly through the trees without crashing into them.
"Hahahaha! It feels so great."
Noah was extremely excited now that he could fly to his heart's content.
"Everything is in its place. It's time to go."
Noah created a cloak behind him. This would be the final battle for going outside of the forest.
He didn't know what was waiting for him in the deepest part.
He gripped his two daggers tightly, then slowly started floating, and with a sonic boom, he vanished.
With 50 km per second, normal eyes couldn't even catch his shadow.
Soon he surpassed the bear territory, demon black panther territory, giant anaconda territory.
And then the new territory.
The moment he entered this territory, he felt he was locked by a predator.
