MTL - Becoming A Dragon In A Martial Arts World-Chapter 1 Activation of abilities

  Chapter 1 Ability Activation

  In the evening after the rain, there was a hint of earthy fragrance in the moist air, and there was a sound of frogs in the distance from time to time.

  Suddenly there was a "rusting" sound in the grass not far away, and soon after that, a tiptoe big mouse poked out a small head from the cave.

  It first carefully looked around for a while, and found that there was no danger, then it crawled out of the cave carefully, and slowly moved forward in search of food.

  I saw it stop one step at a time, and then looked around furiously, its small nose kept sniffing, as if it was about to flee back to the grass before if there was any alarm.

   "Whoosh!"

   There was a sound of breaking through the air.

   Then I saw a huge snake head biting its body tightly.

  Then the whole mouse soared into the air, and the thick and long body like a cage began to wrap around it, squeezing the little room it had left for movement.

  At this time, the mouse realized belatedly, it was bitten, and began to scream in panic, its little feet kept thumping.

   But does it work? Useless!

  The next moment, a powerful force swept from all around, and the little mouse, which was still screaming and thumping just now, became silent after kicking its limbs.

   Then a wisp of bright red blood foam began to overflow from the corner of the mouth.

   At this time, the instigator who completed everything revealed his true face, a huge snake with a body length of more than three meters.

Under the small and exquisite head is a wide and flat neck, as majestic and beautiful as a cloak, and the thick, slender and powerful body is lined with fine scales, and the scales exude a metallic luster even at dusk .

  From a distance, it looks like a majestic and domineering king.

  Undoubtedly, with this huge body and appearance alone, it is worthy of the name of the king of venomous snakes-King Cobra.

  Normally speaking, the King Cobra, the king of venomous snakes, generally has a diet of snakes.

  Unless it is extremely hungry, it will rarely hunt for food like rats, because such a small amount of meat is not worth it at all.

  However, this king cobra is a bit special.

  Because he is not a snake, to be exact he was not a snake before.

  His name is Bai Chuan. Ten days ago, he was just a social animal living on the water-blue planet. He was busy working overtime every day.

  That night, he was working overtime according to his usual situation, but he didn't expect that when his eyes suddenly went dark, he lost consciousness.

   When he woke up again, he found that he had become a snake, a king cobra that had just grown up.

  Of course, death is like a lamp going out, and Bai Chuan doesn't want to mention the things of his previous life now, anyway, he is an orphan, so he has nothing to worry about.

   It is enough for him to be happy to live again.

  …

   Half an hour later, Bai Chuan, who had swallowed the little mouse, crawled back into his tree hole.

   Sensing the familiar sense of security, Bai Chuan completely relaxed the whole snake, and took a good look at his harvest today.

   Following the snake eyes staring at his body, an undetectable gleam flashed.

  Suddenly, a dim panel unfolded.

  'Name: Shirakawa'

  'Race: King Cobra'

   'Life: 8 years'

  'Points: 0 (99.8%)'

   This is the ability he discovered when he first came to this world. As long as he stares at his body and concentrates, a simple panel will appear in his eyes.

   It's a pity that he has been in this world for ten days, and he still hasn't found out what this panel does.

  The only thing that gave him some comfort was the number in the parentheses in the column of points that was gradually increasing as time went by.

  At the same time, after so many days of observation and reflection, he found that the rate of increase in points was related to what he ate.

  Because normal snakes eat a full meal, they don’t need to eat for a week or even a few weeks.

  But he is a little different.

  He could feel that whenever he was full, if he didn't actively and forcefully control his body, there would always be inexplicable warm currents rushing through the stomach in his body, and then disappeared.

   It seems to be gathering somewhere.

   At this time, the increase rate of points on his panel will be accelerated, and if he controls his body hard, he will not eat for several weeks like a normal snake, and digest slowly.

   Then the data on the panel will be like a turtle crawling.

   All of this seems to have a switch in his body compared to ordinary snakes, a switch for fast digestion.

  Although this switch seems to be harmful and unhelpful at the moment, it gives him hope anyway. After all, this ability is closely related to his panel.

  Even if the panel is currently useless, it is still a golden finger. As long as he wants to use it, he must fill up the points.

   Of course, he can also give up, but is he willing?

   Give up all variables and quietly live the life of an ordinary snake? And then wait eight years before dying of old age?

   Or maybe he didn't even live for eight years, and died in some accident on the way?

   After all, even a king cobra has natural enemies, such as crocodiles, Komodo dragons, tigers or super-large raptors, etc. may kill him.

  Although he may not be able to survive even if he dies, what's the point of everything if he dies?

   Just kidding, he had to live again with great difficulty, how could he be willing!

   It is precisely because of this that he has been hunting almost every day for the past ten days to fill his stomach.

   Fortunately, Huangtian paid off, and the data was almost full for him today.

  As time goes by, at the same time, the data on the panel begins to grow slowly...

  99.8%…99.9%…100%…

  As the numbers changed, the column of points on the panel in Bai Chuan's eyes also jumped.

  '0—1! '

  The next moment, a gleam of light flashed, and a mysterious pattern of light appeared on the previously dull panel, and then the entire panel was completely lit up.

  It was as if the old machine was completely activated, and the screen of the mobile phone changed from off screen to bright screen.

   "Huh? Gone?"

  Bai Chuan stared blankly at the panel for a while, not seeing any huge changes for a long time, and thought of it with some doubts.

   At this moment, shouldn’t this thing be like in that system novel, where a system elf suddenly popped up to explain its use to him?

   Or a flood of information flooding your head?

   Just disappeared? Just a panel?

   It shouldn't be, Bai Chuan, a little unwilling, scanned his surroundings, and looked at his own snake body again.

   Yet a change occurred...

  'Scanning...Scanning...10%...15%...'

   Seeing this scene, Bai Chuan was shocked.

   Changed, changed!

   Sure enough, nothing has changed!

I knew it!

   After a while, the data progress in Bai Chuan's eyes was completely full, and then a brand new panel resurfaced.

  ‘Name: Bai Chuan. '

  ‘Race: King Cobra. '

  ‘Life: 8 years. '

  ‘Points: 1. '

  'Abilities: Final Length LV2 (details), Snake Venom LV2, Energy Saving Storage LV1, Strength LV1, Flexibility LV1, Scales LV1, Swimming LV1...'

  ‘Ability structure library: hare (details), mouse (details). '

'editable…'

   "Is this what I have now?"

   Bai Chuan stared at the information on the panel and murmured to himself. The forked snake letters unique to snakes were "hissing" at the moment, which was enough to show that he was not at peace.

   A little curious, he checked the details of his abilities.

  …
