Daily Evolution from Mastering Tai Chi-Chapter 137: Yangtze Alligator

After the kitchen had put fifteen dishes on the table.

Wang Ye tore open the chopstick packaging and started devouring the food ravenously.

The goateed owner watched in disbelief.

But midway through eating.

Wang Ye suddenly sensed that his ability to chew seemed to have improved somewhat.

The chunks of meat and vegetables that originally required 3-5 chews to break down.

Now only needed 2 chews to be swallowed.

Additionally, his chewing habit had changed a bit.

He had primarily chewed by grinding, but now it was more like tearing and gulping.

Just like... a carnivorous animal.

"Could it be my body has evolved again?"

Wang Ye put down his chopsticks and thoughtfully licked his teeth.

He didn’t realize until he licked, and the discovery was shocking.

At some point, the four canine teeth on each side of his mouth had transformed into sharp canines, akin to those of tigers, leopards, and lions.

No wonder his ability to tear and chew had improved.

It turned out the structure of his mouth and teeth had evolved!

Cold sweat immediately broke out all over Wang Ye, as he estimated the length of these four canines with the tip of his tongue.

These four canines stood out conspicuously among all his teeth, roughly twice the length of other teeth, somewhat curved outward, with sharp tips that wouldn’t poke the corners of his mouth, exposing fangs. But if he opened his mouth wide, it definitely would scare people. After all, everyone knows humans shouldn’t possess such terrifying canines.

Since primitive humans began using tools to cut food and fire to process food, they’ve scarcely needed the tearing capability of canine teeth. As per the Law of Evolution of use and disuse, human canines naturally evolved into relatively flat shapes.

Yet Wang Ye had re-evolved the powerful canines akin to those of carnivorous animals.

This meant his chewing and food-cutting capabilities had dramatically improved.

Food intake efficiency naturally accelerated vastly too.

Beyond that, his bite force had also strengthened considerably.

Wang Ye picked up a pig leg bone with his hand and put it in his mouth.

He tried biting it forcefully.

Crack!

A crisp sound echoed from his mouth.

The pig leg bone unexpectedly shattered into two like a biscuit.

Some bone fragments trickled out from his mouth.

Wang Ye astonishingly removed the two pieces of pig leg bone from his mouth.

He saw the spot bitten by his canine had developed spiderweb-like cracks.

"Simply using sixty to seventy percent of force broke it... To what extent has my bite force reached?"

Wang Ye continued stuffing the pig leg bone into his mouth, attempting to crush all the hard bones using his molars.

He wanted to see if he could now include bones in his diet.

If he truly could eat bones, it would save a considerable amount of food expense.

Wang Ye’s cheek muscles contracted like living things.

The pig leg bone gradually transformed into countless fragments and powder in his mouth.

Gradually being swallowed down with his chewing.

Because his oral mucosa had also strengthened, these fragments found it difficult to damage the inner walls of his mouth. Chewing these hard bones was like chewing beef tendon, somewhat difficult but not too difficult.

If he didn’t mind the mess, it could barely be considered a potent attack method.

"From the look of things, it doesn’t seem bad. As long as the canines don’t keep growing."

Wang Ye sighed slightly and continued sweeping clean the food on the table.

To avoid wasting nutrition, he even secretly chewed most of the hard bones and swallowed them down.

After lunch and wine, he stuffed a fully charged power bank into his bag.

Saying farewell to the goateed owner, he left the restaurant.

After a brief digestive walk around the town, Wang Ye resumed his road trip, rushing fifty kilometers down the provincial road. Soon after, he took a side path up into the wild mountains.

Following his route plan, he’d traverse two mountain ranges, run another hundred kilometers.

By his estimates, he should reach Yingtan’s Dragon Tiger Mountain tomorrow.

Dragon Tiger Mountain has an altitude of over 1300 meters, being the birthplace of Daoism, with more than eighty Daoist temples, thirty-six Daoist gardens, four Daoist palaces. Notably famous Daoist temples include Shangqing Palace, Celestial Master’s Mansion, Ghost Gate, etc.

Wang Ye planned to visit Dragon Tiger Mountain during his Yingtan trip, to enjoy the scenery and experience Daoist culture.

He’s heard many Daoist temples have so-called Thunder Skill traditions.

Capable of summoning wind and thunder, subduing demons and monsters, praying for rain and clearing droughts.

Wang Ye always maintained a skeptical view towards this. He intended on this trip to use his Magnetic Sense Organ to sense those Daoists’ bodies, see if there’s anything unusual within them.

Nowadays.

He could already use his Magnetic Sense Organ to preemptively predict any kind of natural disasters.

Including thunderstorms, heavy rain, earthquakes, tsunamis, typhoons, droughts, etc.

If the so-called Thunder Skill really exists.

Then he’d certainly sense some traces of it through his Magnetic Sense Organ.

After Wang Ye stepped into the wild mountains, he gradually let himself go.

Using the surrounding trees and vines to continually leap horizontally through the air.

The rugged and dangerous mountain environment particularly facilitated his air stepping along cliffs or trees. Such actions could activate his Void Master traits, boosting his All Attributes by 10%.

Hence, in these rugged and dangerous mountain trails, he tended to move even faster than on flat terrains.

As Wang Ye rushed forward at full speed, the scorching air exhaled from his mouth and nose almost manifested as faint mist.

So every breath and leap left behind a visible trace of mist.

His breathing sounded like a blower, sending chills down anyone’s spine from a distance. It was evident how terrifying his physical body had become now.

The benefits of such astounding breathing amplitudes are self-evident.

Taking in more oxygen meant he possessed stronger recovery abilities and nearly boundless stamina.

Wang Ye maintained this rushing rhythm.

Almost without pause, he continued on his journey throughout the afternoon.

A rough estimate indicated he had traversed nearly sixty kilometers of mountain roads.

Finally.

Nearing dusk.

Wang Ye found a water body.

The water body was quite vast, colored slightly yellow within the grassy greens, the water murky enough to suggest fish presence. But to be sure, he still crouched by the lake, plunging a finger into the lake water to detect the flow vibrations, thus judging the presence of fish.

But just as Wang Ye closed his eyes to sense.

He suddenly felt a rather strong water flow vibration.

Crash!!!

A Yangtze Alligator suddenly swam up from the water.
