Chapter 881: Chapter 881: The Second Super Evolution

An entity that he could not detect suppressed the range of his spiritual world.

When using the prop "Concentrated Air," air could be compressed into a shield with defensive power. Similarly, in the gaming world, space could also be compressed.

Assuming that space had been compressed and that he, being within it, could not directly feel it, then it was possible that the location he had run to was not as far as it seemed from the outside. Therefore, the frequently changing exit hatch that appeared to him might have always been not too far away.

It was just that he and the electronic devices were affected.

Taking out the mechanical glove that Bai Kou had given him, Xu Huo covered the groove of the glove with psychic power while opening the door. This was a kind of power amplification device. Bai Kou had allowed him to experience the refinement of space, and he wasn’t certain if psychic power would work, but now he could only try.

After opening several doors in succession, Xu Huo saw those line-like entities again that radiated from him as the center, spreading out in all directions—similar to what he had seen during the first externalization of his spiritual world.

These lines were scattered on the ground and in the air, some apart and others intersecting, weaving over the doors. As he pushed the doors, the lines moved too. The distance between the openings where the doors were was where the lines were most dense. Passing through it felt like a thin cloth draped over his body, carrying a heavy sense of obstruction.

Xu Huo reached out to grab them, but the lines passed directly through his body without a sense of physicality.

Seeing but unable to touch the lines, he immediately thought of the feeling that Bai Kou had when she controlled space.

It wasn’t that these lines truly existed in the space but that he had resonated with the materials in space during the process of evolution.

However, Bai Kou had done so with an external force’s help, whereas this time he felt it directly.

Xu Huo kept opening doors. When the lines became so dense that they completely obscured his vision, he tried to grab at them again. Although he still couldn’t grasp them successfully, the obstructive sensation within his body grew stronger, as if the lines were gradually solidifying.

After he had opened doors over a hundred times, the barrier sensation on his body seemed to align with the sensation he felt after taking the potion, like frequencies that were off connecting together. In an instant, the obstructive feeling disappeared, and he could not only see the lines in the space but even touch them!

Stepping out of the door, he inserted his hand into the dense lines in front of him, randomly moved one, and it was as if a fine thread had separated itself from the air. Following the vibration along the thread, his perception quickly expanded towards the distance until it touched the end.

With his spiritual world closed, Xu Huo’s vision returned to the jungle. Although he could no longer see the lines in the air, he could still feel them, and the thread he had not let go of did not disappear. Visually, there was still an endless forest in front of him, but the spatial lines clearly fed back a boundary.

Furthermore, he felt like he was in a "crowded" space.

Walking along the direction of the lines, Xu Huo squeezed through a narrow crack and when he turned back, the scenery around him had completely changed. In terms of location, he was at least more than five hundred meters away from where he was just moments ago.

This certainly didn’t mean he could move freely through space, but rather that there already existed a compressed space within the Plant Garden, and he just happened to find the frequency of this compressed space, successfully passing through it.

Naturally, this also meant that he had successfully undergone Super Evolution for the second time.

He began his Super Evolution aimed at mastering spatial power!

But even space-oriented Super Evolution had many subdivisions. Feeling the presence of space was just the beginning. Controlling the movement of objects, synthesizing or decomposing objects were different expressions.

Xu Huo moved his fingers, trying to stir a distant leaf. It wasn’t difficult, he easily managed to do so, but applying force to it was a bit harder. For now, he couldn’t move objects as freely as Bai Kou could.

So he tried to borrow force from the space instead.

These spatial lines were not tangible things. The end of his perception range did not represent the maximum range he could manipulate. It was like waves—the taller the wave before it crashed, the greater the force, the lower the position, the smaller the force. If it was just a surge on the beach’s edge, it wouldn’t be much different from the brushing of a breeze.

That is to say, he could feel the end of this space, but he couldn’t stir the leaves at that end.

Xu Huo strained to grasp the space, squeezing through the spatial crevices a couple of times. The distance he covered was nearly a hundred meters farther than the first time, taking less than a second.

The Plant Garden’s space was compressed. In here, a length that could achieve six hundred meters, he had no idea what extent it could reach outside.

But whether it was good or bad, his trip today was not in vain.

Xu Huo returned to the boundary of the Plant Garden, successfully finding the exit hatch and returning to Friendship Garden Plaza.

To his surprise, Zhuang Mengtian had returned before him.

She was talking to Gan Yi, and both their faces flashed with surprise. Xu Huo, in a good mood, smiled at the two, "I hope I don’t encounter this in the next round."

It was now late at night, the third round of the tri-color competition had ended. Since people were wrapped up from the second to the third round, the final number of survivors was 77. Xiaoxiao, the girl named as such, had lucked out and was spared again by a bye.

However, You Si mentioned that someone had tried to kill her midway to free up the bye spot, but Sha Jia intercepted them. The player attempting this ended up dying in the Ocean Pavilion during the match.

They were poisoned to death.

Xu Huo had used poison previously, unsure what purpose the production team had for not changing the water or giving up on this location. They directly turned the Ocean Pavilion into a mission site for the black ball task.

"Xiao Xianglin hasn’t come back. I don’t know if he made it through or died," You Si casually mentioned, then pointed to the player who had walked with him, "This one’s still alive."

"Did you ask?" Xu Huo remembered the other’s appearance.

"He didn’t say," replied You Si. "All the survivors are now in the plaza—seventy-seven people. There are only thirty-eight pairs for the fourth round. We have plenty of time, and tomorrow’s combinations might not alternate."

"There will be one more person getting a bye."

After the last round’s trial by fire, there were less than twenty ordinary people left alive, all exhausted. Everyone was eager for a bye.

When the lights in the plaza dimmed, Xu Huo heard people discussing why Xiaoxiao was so lucky to be spared repeatedly.

Xiaoxiao was no longer focused on the competition. She curled up in a corner, legs hugged, staring blankly ahead.

With his eyes closed, Xu Huo felt the changes brought about by his Super Evolution. First off, he had a clearer recognition of the moving objects within nearby space, not confined to large-scale movements. He could sense everyone’s shifting and hand-raising on the plaza, even without looking.

The space behind the walls, which had seemed blank before, was no longer out of reach. After expanding his range, he could sense even the minute movements of electronic devices, and indeed there was an ocean adjacent to the wall, albeit at a significant distance.
