Chapter 8

Inside the old martial arts hall.

“Scared to death?” Seeing this early elephant fall in his palm, Lin Tuo immediately had this thought. He was relieved when he saw the description of the log.

“Is it really so wimpy?…” Whispering softly, Lin Tuo picked up the magnifying glass at hand and looked at this primitive life seriously.

But he didn’t see anything too interesting. Though, there was another thing that made him more concerned.

“It seems that I can directly pass things through the isolation cover and ingest material and life from the sandbox.”

He hadn’t realized this before.

It should be noted that Lin Tuo’s clone is still in his body at present.

“Because this elephant is the only one, it does not have any logical conflicts. Very different from my clone… Well, this is an important discovery.”

As Lin Tuo thought about it, he suddenly thought:

‘If I put my clone in the sandbox and transfer my consciousness, doesn’t it mean that I could appear in any area inside the sandbox?‘

But after hesitating, Lin Tuo did not try immediately.

After thinking about it, he put the unconscious elephant back into the sand table, and immediately watched it wake up. Staggering to flee, he watched it with a smile appearing at the corner of his mouth.

“I’ll let them continue to evolve first. I don’t know if primitive humans can appear today.” Shaking his head, Lin Tuo switched to the virtual panel and switched the sand table to Observation Mode.

In the old house, the lights and shadows changed, the wild land was broken and replaced by a busy modern city.

The city of Yangcheng appeared in front of Lin Tuo.

At this moment, in the morning light, the whole city was slowly waking up.

There were already a large number of cars running orderly on the highways in the city.

“This is such a big technological gap.” Lin Tuo couldn’t help but sigh. Compared to the primitive continent in the Creative Mode, Yangcheng was like an impossible existence.

Lin Tuo glanced at the Current Environmental Ether Concentration.

The panel gave a low amount, and there was an upward arrow beside the numbers, which probably meant it was in a growth state.

“Sure enough, the recovery of Ether is not that fast.” Lin Tuo sighed softly, cheered up, and walked to the position of Lishan in the sand table.

But his gaze went beyond Lishan. He cast his sight towards another mountain on the edge of the sand table.

It was a steep and dangerous mountain.

It was also part of the Taihe Mountain Range, but it was farther from Yangcheng City. Most of the area was already outside the sand table.

He spread out his right hand and used his mind and a reduced version of himself appeared in his palm.

Doppelganger!

Yes, after careful consideration, Lin Tuo was going to use the clone to conduct an experiment.

Through yesterday’s observation, he found that this clone was almsot identical to his own body, in various senses.

To be precise, it was originally the self in the sand table space.

By switching perspectives, he had also determined that through digesting Ether, the power of it also existed in the doppleganger body simultaneously.

The two bodies are completely the same in strength, sharing dozens of Ether points, except for the difference in body size.

And, eating and drinking was also the same.

For example, if Lin Tuo’s main body ate food, the clone would not be hungry. Conversely, after the clone eats the food, the main body would also feel full…

However, considering the special nature of the Evolving Sandbox Table, whether it was conserved or not did not seem to be the focus.

What Lin Tuo cared about was that if this was the case, then he seemed to be able to refine his body with his clone with Ether.

Now, Lin Tuo was about to throw his clone into the sand table. Putting it at the foot of the steep and strange peak in the Taihe Mountain Range, he immediately retracted his hand and switched his consciousness.

…

A flower was in front of Lin Tuo.

Under the barren mountains, Lin Tuo, who was originally like a puppet, portrayed a bright brilliance in his eyes.

In the east, the sun had just risen. The air was still cool aswell. Looking at it from a distance, there was a huge mist in the endless Taihe Mountains.

“That’s it.” Lin Tuo recognized the next direction and then increased his breathing. His whole figure swayed at an extremely fast speed, just like a flash.

Not long after, a mountain road paved with bluestone appeared before his eyes.

It was said that it was a road, but it was actually just a small path. Or a step by step with a very steep angle, spreading straight toward the top of the mountain like a ladder.

Lin Tuo couldn’t tell its origins. He only remembered that his grandfather brought him here when he was a child. He said that this path had a history of hundreds of years.

Because of the steep terrain, no one was willing to climb.

Eventually, it was completely desolate.

And here was the physical training place that Lin Tuo chose.

He took off his shirt and wrapped it around his neck, covering his head and face. Although it was almost impossible to meet people here, it is better to cover it just in case.

Afterwards, he took a few steps forward and reached out his hand to a stone tablet, which had long been dilapidated.

“Get up!” Lin Tuo inhaled gently, shaking the Ether in his body.

His body was usually nothing too shocking, but at this moment, his muscle lines were bulging. Needless to say, the stone tablet was easily lifted and carried on his back.

Then, Lin Tuo squatted slightly, just like that, jumping up the mountain at a constant speed along the ladder-like path.

…

At the same time.

What Lin Tuo didn’t notice was that a private car had already stopped just beside a highway in the distance.

In the car, two girls in their twenties jumped out.

One of the girls, wearing a sun hat, was looking at the Taihe Mountains with wide eyes as if looking for something.

“I said we shouldn’t…You must be mistaken. How could someone fly up the mountain like that?”

The other girl leaned against the car door, holding her shoulders helplessly, looking at her companion.

The former said in a very serious tone:

“I’m not mistaken! Just now, when I glanced out of the car, I saw a figure climbing the mountain very fast… Oh, just trust me anyway.”

Seeing the disapproving look of her companion, the girl did not explain. She just took out her phone, turned on the camera, and zoomed in…

“Yes, I believe you… Anyway, I can’t understand this world. Yesterday, you said that the entire desert in the country was separated off. Today, you’re talking about a super human… I don’t know how…”

“Ah! I found it! Look!” While she rambling, the first girl was cheering, holding her mobile phone, very excited.

The latter was stunned and leaned forward curiously.

Immediately, she saw a figure carrying a huge stone tablet in the camera lens of the mobile phone, quickly moving up a ladder-like stone path.

“I’m going! There is really a super human?!”

Although the distance was far away and the picture is a little fuzzy, you could still tell the general area.

In the camera, it was Lin Tuo who was carrying a stone tablet to temper his body.

They saw that every time he went up and down it seemed to coincide with a certain rhythm. He had a different kind of strength, there was no trace of fatigue. Although this wasn’t as exciting as flying, this scene was absolutely very super human. .

In their view, only superheroes could do what he was doing.

“Video! Take it! Hurry!”

After hearing the nagging, the previous girl went back to her senses and directly turned on the video function.

The two stopped talking, just watching intently.

“It’s such a big stone tablet… It’s also such a steep mountain road. He should stop soon…”

“Probably.”

“How long do you think he could go?”

By the side of the highway, the two girls talked while focused on the video, guessing how long Lin Tuo could last.

5 minutes passed…

10 minutes passed…

20 minutes……

40 minutes…

The numbers on the camera interface kept accumulating and the two girls had to switch from hand-held recording to holding the phone up using a tripod.

The expression on their faces also changed from initial curiosity and surprise to amazement, and then… fascination.

It wasn’t until Lin Tuo disappeared to the top of the mountain that they finally recovered and ended the recording.

“58 minutes and 21 seconds!”

Seeing the total length of this video, the two girls looked at each other and felt indescrible.

In that kind of terrain, jumping at a constant speed for an hour.. Even if there wasn’t any heavy weight on his body, that was enough to be pretty amazing!

“…I, I kind of believe what you said now,” the last girl said with a trance, “this person…no, I suspect he is not a human at all!”

“It seems that the world is really going to change.” The girl who was shooting put away her mobile phone with a complicated expression.

Yesterday was a mysterious black box that made a global sensation, and today super humans appeared…All this seemed to indicate something.

“Hey, what are you going to do?”

“Obviously I’m posting this on the internet,” the girl wearing the sun hat, answering her companion seriously, her eyes gleaming, “I think we may have witnessed history!”

…

“Huh, I finally climbed up.” Throwing the stone tablet aside, Lin Tuo held his knees and gasped for breath. His body was sweaty and his hair was wet.

“How much Ether is in my body?”

[The host currently has Ether value: 93 points.]

In his mind the Evolving Sand Table immediately answered.

“The last time I checked I had 98 points, that is to say, I just consumed 5 points,” Lin Tuo silently calculated, “My strength seems to be greater, um, it seems that my body tempering plan is effective, as long as I stick to it.”

But he was also not blindly optimistic.

“The efficiency of the initial absorption is definitely higher. The more you increase it, the more difficult it will inevitably be.”

Shaking his head and smiling, Lin Tuo tore off his shirt and wiped his sweat.

Then he glanced at the rising sun and tried to switch consciousness. At the same time, some strange spiritual sense led him to subconsciously glance towards the distant mountain road, and he muttered:

“How come I feel like I’m being watched…”
