After practicing the Berserker Blade Technique three times, James Carter actually started to feel hungry.

This was really unscientific—after all, just half an hour ago, he had eaten his fill.

James Carter was never someone who understood science, so he simply stopped overthinking it and finished off the remaining half of the wolf leg. The still-warm wolf meat didn’t increase his primal genes, but it did replenish his abundant vitality.

Once full again, James Carter felt his whole body brimming with strength, his energy overflowing with nowhere to vent.

He ignored the scientific advice about not exercising strenuously after a meal and embarked on a path of his own—a path of theology.

By the campfire, the blade flashed, and a generation’s blade master spread the wings of his dreams.

After practicing the blade technique three more times, the surging vitality within James Carter finally calmed down, and this time, he no longer felt hungry.

Evolver: James Carter.

Primal Genes: 22!

Combat Power: 22!

Lifespan: 72!

Combat Skill: Berserker Blade Technique, E-level combat skill, current evolution energy 12/100!

Evolution Technique: E-level!

Looking over his own status, James Carter was overjoyed.

The Berserker Blade Technique, which originally had 0/100 evolution energy, had suddenly surged by 12 points!

James Carter remembered clearly that when he practiced the blade technique three times in the afternoon, not a single point of evolution energy was gained.

But after eating wolf meat in the evening, he practiced the blade technique six times in total, and his energy shot up by 12 points.

By this calculation, practicing the Berserker Blade Technique once after eating wolf meat increased his evolution energy by 2 points.

“No wonder my blade technique feels so much sharper—so that’s why!”

Recalling the blade practice filled with vitality, James Carter suddenly understood.

“It seems there’s a pattern: after eating intermediate primal flesh, practicing once increases evolution energy by 2 points. By this logic, eating basic primal flesh and practicing once would increase it by 1 point. If it’s advanced primal flesh, it might increase by 3 points... The end of physics really is mathematics—my math skills are just awesome!”

Standing in the night wind, James Carter wore an indescribably smug expression.

Looking at the raw wolf meat hanging from the tree branch, a hint of surprise flashed in his eyes.

On Earth, fresh meat left outside would definitely attract flies and quickly rot. But in the evolution world, there were no such creatures as flies, and the fresh wolf meat that had been left out for half a day showed no signs of spoiling or stinking.

“This world is truly amazing. If I could teleport back, I’d bring Emily here for BBQ every day.”

James Carter set a small goal for himself, his gaze softening and a warm smile appearing on his face.

Suddenly, he gripped his machete tightly, his eyes scanning the left front like a hunting hawk.

Whether it was the aroma of the roasted meat or the disturbance of the campfire, two giant tigers came charging over.

These tigers were twice the size of the ones James Carter had seen at the zoo.

At the moment, Big Jack was in a hibernation-like deep sleep and couldn’t join the fight, so James Carter had to rely on himself. The pressure was immense—he had experienced the giant wolf’s combat power firsthand, so what kind of power did these two giant tigers possess?

“Screw it, let’s do this!”

There was no way James Carter would abandon Big Jack and run away, so he simply took the initiative, raising his machete and charging forward.

In this situation, retreat meant death; fighting gave him a sliver of hope.

A look of human-like disdain flashed in the eyes of the two giant tigers—they clearly didn’t take this human with less than 30 combat power seriously.

A flash of the blade lit up the night sky.

Within that blade light was an endless, berserk fighting spirit, making the two tigers feel fear.

Thud, thud, thud!

Where the blade passed, the head of one tiger fell to the ground and rolled several meters away.

The headless tiger was dead beyond dead, while the other began to fight, whimpering in terror.

Even James Carter was startled—was the Berserker Blade Technique really this terrifying?

That single slash not only perfectly demonstrated the sharpness of the Eighteen Chops, but also carried a kind of berserk force. That force, derived from the combat skill, wrapped around the blade, forming a deadly flash that dealt astonishing damage.

James Carter got the idea to experiment and swung at the other tiger’s hard forehead.

Slash!

A sound like a sharp blade slicing through tofu rang out, and the hard tiger head was neatly split open.

The second giant tiger didn’t even have time to let out a scream before it collapsed weakly to the ground, dead on the spot.

“Damn, is this what they call off-the-charts combat power?”

James Carter stared in disbelief at the machete in his hand, falling in love with himself and truly experiencing the power of a combat skill.

The only downside was that after killing the two tigers, the blade of the Eighteen Chops now had two more nicks. At this rate, after a few more beasts, this machete would be done for.

“Nothing dropped—so killing beasts doesn’t always yield combat skills?”

From this battle, James Carter gained new insights.

In a sense, he could be considered a pioneer among humans entering the evolution world, and these experiences were extremely valuable.
