Magic Era: My Cells Can Evolve - Chapter 2

Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios

After dinner.

Austin returned to his room.

The system notification sounded again. “Host has been breathing for a long time. Your cells have evolved again. You have obtained the ability Air Control level 1, Wind Control level 1!”

Austin was startled.

Cells could also evolve just by breathing?

Austin took a deep breath, then let it out slowly.

He sensed the change in himself. It was as if he could control every wisp of air around him. Then, he could make it flow and become… wind!

Wind control?

Austin opened his palm and clenched his fingers slightly.

The surrounding air gathered, forming a whirlwind in his palm.

It was only wind control at level one that did not have much destructive power.

“So that’s how it is. This is how I control air and wind?”

Austin clenched his fist and dispersed the whirlwind in his palm.

“Although this air control isn’t the same as the ‘air magic’ of the magisters, it’s equally powerful when it’s at a more advanced level.”

Just think about it, once the level of controlling air and wind was higher.

Air Riding!

Creating a tornado with a wave of his hand!

He could even directly extract air in an area to suffocate the enemy to death!

Austin pulled out the flintstones again.

With a light knock against each other, a flame burst forth from the two flintstones.

Austin’s eyes focused on the lighter’s flame.

Fire control!

Austin’s eyes widened as flames burst forth.

The flames moved according to his will, surrounding Austin’s palm before forming a fireball the size of a ping pong ball.

As time passed, the flame slowly disappeared.

“I see. I can control fire, but I can’t create fire out of thin air.”

Austin asked, “System, how can I make my cells evolve to possess the ability to create flames?”

System: “Ding, answering the host. When cells come into contact with a life form that can create flames, they will naturally evolve to possess the ability to produce flames.”

“It can evolve after coming into contact with any life forms?”

Austin’s eyes lit up as he had a plan.

“Although I don’t have the talent of a magister, my cells can automatically evolve. My potential might not be lower than a magister.”

“More importantly, there’s no need for me to cultivate!”

Why cultivate when his cells could evolve on their own. How satisfying was that?

Austin imagined him interacting with various beasts and evolving various abilities.

Invisibility, fire, lightning, flight…

What would be the final destination of cell evolution?

A word surfaced in Austin’s mind—God!

“I can evolve just by eating, drinking, and coming into contact with ferocious beasts. This is simply too awesome.”

Austin couldn’t wait to get out of the city and into the hunting area to touch some beasts.

Of course, Austin did not get too carried away.

If he wanted to come into contact with a beast, they would only be sending his head to the beast if he was not strong enough.

“Right, another question. How do I improve my abilities?

“For example, when I lit the fire just now, the cells evolved to have fire resistance and fire control abilities, but it’s only level one.

“How can I reach level two, level three, or even higher?”

The system replied, “Ding, host will need to constantly come into contact with flames of higher temperatures before the cells can evolve to a higher level.”

Touch flames of higher temperatures?

Austin thought for a while and asked again, “What will happen if I jump into the magma? Will my cells evolve into high-level fire-element abilities?”

The temperature of the fire in ordinary furnaces was only a few hundred degrees, while the surface temperature of magma could reach an extremely terrifying temperature!

As for the temperature at the bottom of the magma, it could reach a state where it could destroy almost anything!

The system gave the answer to Austin’s hypothesis.

“Ding… Based on the host’s current cell strength, if you approach the lava, you will only be burnt to ashes.”

Austin frowned. “Can’t the cells evolve?”

The system replied, “Ding. Evolution is a gradual process, not something that can be achieved overnight.”

Austin understood now.

Evolution could only occur under conditions he could withstand.

The cells would still evolve if he jumped into the sun.

However, before he could evolve enough to withstand the high temperature of the lava, Austin would have already turned into ashes.

“I should stay down to earth and take my time!

“I can already evolve by eating and drinking now. What more can I ask for? I shouldn’t dream of reaching the heavens in a single bound!”

Austin knew how to be content and not blindly confident.

“My sister is an apprentice magister. I wonder if my cells can evolve if I touch her.”

An idea popped up in his mind.

As he thought about it, he could not stop thinking about it.

Currently, Catherine, an apprentice magister, was the most powerful person in the family.

Magisters were also a type of life form. Could his cells evolve after contact?

Austin immediately thought of finding Catherine.

“Hold up…

“How to openly contact my sister is the real question here.”

Austin stopped on the spot.

Although she was his sister that he grew up with, Austin rarely had any intimate contact with Catherine.

“I couldn’t possibly say ‘let me hug you and hold your hand, my sister’ right?

“I’m afraid that my old man will send me to the German Orthopedics Department!”

“Oh yes,”

Austin’s eyes lit up as he pulled out a small fortune bag from the cabinet.

“This will do.”

Austin grabbed the fortune bag and left his room to knock on his sister’s door.

Catherine was sitting cross-legged on the carpet, facing the night sky outside the window. She was in the middle of practicing the channeling method.

This channeling method was created by the Grand Magisters, a combination of all kinds of basic meditation methods.

It could allow a person with the magic talent to guide the power of heaven and earth and the energies of the universe into their body and refine it into Qi.

It was the foundation of a magister’s power!

Upon hearing the knock on the door, Catherine adjusted her breathing and stopped channeling.

“Come in.”

Austin pushed the door open.

There was no light in the room, and the faint scent of a teenage girl lingered around.

A young girl with a ponytail sat cross-legged on the carpet.

In the moonlight, Catherine’s fair cheeks looked exceptionally beautiful.

If not for her status as an apprentice magister, who would have thought that this slender and elegant girl had just turned sixteen this year?

“Hi, brother.”

Austin fixed his eyes on Catherine.

In terms of looks, Austin was not inferior to his sister.

However, Catherine belongs to the type who was eye-catching at first sight.

On the other hand, having participated in the city defense construction, Austin was naturally less handsome and more masculine. He was the type that was easy on the eye.
