Human Super Evolution was a groundbreaking plan that originated from humanity's ancient desire for power, stemming from the moment of human birth. 0
 
At that time, humans were hunted by countless terrifying monsters, even being herded like livestock by these formidable creatures, barely surviving. 0
 
In response, some wise individuals took a different path and created the totem system, utilizing Totem Power to enable humanity to rise and occupy the vast majority of the world's land. 0
 
Those fierce monsters were systematically exterminated by humans or driven into primitive forests, desolate deserts, and even the frigid polar regions. 0
 
There had been numerous attempts to achieve Evolution in humans rather than merely learning martial arts with a visible endpoint. 0
 
Unfortunately, all such attempts ended in failure; no matter how extraordinary the talent, this vision could not be realized. 0
 
Until Elvis submitted his journal article, when Morent's Spirit Masters discovered for the first time that this concept could indeed be achieved. This revolutionary research result sparked explosive reactions. 0
 
Subsequently, the entire Atlantis City-States Alliance began to operate at full capacity, with Academy City Morente at its core, striving tirelessly for this vision. 0
 
Soon after, Atlan produced countless powerful humans on an assembly line, referred to as Evolved Warriors, possessing strength far beyond that of ordinary warriors and wreaking havoc on the battlefield. 0
 
By the later stages of the war, Evolved Warriors had emerged who reached Third Rank, rivaling Ultimate Totem. If left unchecked, they could even give rise to top-tier beings comparable to divine beasts. 0
 
Many Spirit Masters in Morent focused their research on how to achieve Bloodline Fusion between humans and totems, allowing humans to possess the abilities of totems and continuously enhance their power through stronger Bloodlines. 0
 
Xiar never expected that a mere background character who died early in the story would come into contact with Human Super Evolution, leading to terrifying human experiments. 0
 
This meant that Bruce aimed to obtain detailed data on human anatomy through experimentation to facilitate his own Evolution and become stronger. 0
 
"Unfortunately, without the protagonist's halo, your future is destined to be a stepping stone for others," Xiar remarked with some regret as he stood up to leave. 0
 
He couldn't take such a vast database with him nor could he carelessly bring it back to the manor; otherwise, it would cause trouble if someone saw it. 0
 
He wrapped this journal along with several comprehensive guides on Spirit Masters, as well as foundational research theories on beasts, birds, and Insects, in a piece of black fabric and took them away. 0
 
"Meow!" 0
 
The white fox, nearly falling asleep beside him, suddenly perked up and gracefully jumped onto his shoulder as they left together. 0
 
Through these studies, he realized how crucial core totems were for Spirit Masters. They would typically be stored in an unknown space and summoned using corresponding Spirit Techniques when needed. 0
 
 
However, Firefly was forcibly transformed into a totem by Bruce through the technology of Morent Academy, using flesh and blood as its core. It was not a complete version of a totem, and its power was significantly lacking. 0
 
He planned to reconstruct it into a true Main Totem after acquiring Rune Factory. 0
 
However, the Main Totem was fundamental to a Spirit Master. Using someone else's Rune Factory was akin to processing products with someone else's machinery, especially one that came with full surveillance; all the techniques and lifeblood would be controlled by the other party. 0
 
As a result, no Spirit Master was willing to use another's Rune Factory, unless they had no choice but to use their teacher's when just starting out. 0
 
……………… 0
 
In the following days, Xiar completely immersed himself in a frenzied learning pace. Aside from addressing his physiological needs and occasional outings, he buried himself in study in his study room, with only the maid Eve accompanying him. 0
 
This made Baron Bougiano both happy and worried that Xiar might overwork himself. He specifically had Niu Kelian prepare expensive medicinal dishes to help restore his health. 0
 
During this time, Xiar thoroughly read through materials on Insects, beasts, and other Biology topics, putting in even more effort than during his previous exams. 0
 
Unfortunately, no matter how hard he studied, there were no corresponding Skill Icons on the system panel, which dashed his hopes in that regard. 0
 
Fortunately, with the fusion of two souls, his memory increased several times over, making learning much easier; he could memorize a book after reading it just once or twice. 0
 
After more than ten consecutive days of research, he felt mentally and physically exhausted but had gained a wealth of foundational knowledge that laid the groundwork for future development. 0
 
His greatest gain was Bruce's experimental notes, which significantly advanced his knowledge in biological experiments. 0
 
He had also quietly entered that laboratory to conduct simple dissection experiments to verify what he had learned earlier. 0
 
Now, however, his biggest problem arose: he still could not possess his own Rune Factory. Without this essential artifact for a Spirit Master, he would have to rely on others, exposing all his research results to them. 0
 
Yet even the cheapest Rune Factory was worth tens of thousands of gold coins—equivalent to the family's income over several years. Even someone like Niu Kelian, a Third-Level Spirit Master, would have to spend heavily to purchase one. 0
 
Moreover, daily research for a Spirit Master required various gemstones and crucial Source Crystals. Even if he exhausted his family fortune, he still wouldn't have enough funds to establish his own Spirit Master Knowledge System. 0
 
The Source Crystals produced by the family's mines were extremely scarce. Even if he raised the bounty, it would be difficult for miners to find raw Source Crystals. 0
 
Without Source Crystals, it was like a car running out of gas; all his research and learning faced severe obstacles. 0
 
Xiar understood that staying here made it difficult for him to make progress. He was already prepared to go out... 0
 
 
On an afternoon, Xiar, Niu Kelian, and Rice Cake arrived at a remote forest, intending to conduct a practical training session. 0
 
Their opponent was naturally a girl of the same First Level, dressed in a light blue short skirt, her youthful face serious and focused. 0
 
She began to move her hands, and strands of Grayish White threads danced in the air, transforming into intricate runes that coalesced into a pale blue glow in front of her. 0
 
The glow quickly dissipated, revealing a strange creature emerging from within. 0
 
This creature was entirely green, with a round head adorned with some stripes that made it resemble an onion. 0
 
On its head were two oval-shaped leaves that looked like ears, while below were several root-like Tentacles supporting its stance. Two more tentacles hung beneath its large head, serving as arms. 0
 
At that moment, its round brown eyes were curiously observing them. 0
 
"This is my totem, a rare Plant System totem known as Azure Ball Grass. I named her Qing," the girl introduced proudly, her tone dripping with boastfulness. 0
 
"She really is adorable, and a Plant Totem is quite rare. I can't imagine where you found such an uncommon totem," Xiar exclaimed in admiration, further inflating her pride. 0
 
This was indeed true; for a Plant System to become a totem, it needed to possess a certain level of mobility. Creatures like Bloodthirsty Vines, Man-Eating Flowers, and Venus Flytraps were examples of such. The one before them was evidently even rarer. 0
 
Standing aside as the referee, Niu Kelian interrupted, "Enough chit-chat; let's get started." 0
