Re-Awakening: Cannon Fodder With Strongest Talent Chapter 125 125: Evolving Water talent

But the third specin triggered the evolution he'd been seeking.

Finally. D-rank Water manipulation.

Power flowed through his enhanced physiology as the talent integrated into his existing capabilities. Water beca responsive to his will, environntal moisture gathering around his fingertips with unprecedented precision.

Significant improvent. This opens new tactical possibilities.

His status window updated automatically:

D-rank Water talent confird. Intelligence increased from absorbed cores.

The advancent felt substantial—not just nurical improvent, but qualitative enhancent of his tactical options. Water could now serve offensive and defensive roles with genuine effectiveness.

Combination attacks beco much more lethan. Fire and Water working together for steam-based tactics.

He devoured the remaining two lizards for completeness, their cores providing additional intelligence points while confirming the talent had reached its current evolution limit.

The steaming pond behind him marked another successful hunting expedition. Each encounter strengthened his position while providing valuable intelligence about enemy territory composition.

'My most powerful skill is now water, which I didn't expect.'

The irony wasn't lost on him. Of all his accumulated talents, the one he'd considered least important had evolved into his strongest capability. D-rank Water manipulation, was one of the more versatile talents jusg like his wind talent.

'It will be helpful in the desert too.'

'But having multiple F-rank talents isn't great, even if I have many of them.'

Quantity ant nothing without quality. His talent collection resembled a museum of diocrity—impressive in scope but lacking the focused power needed against Platinum-rank opposition. Each F-grade ability provided minimal advantage compared to evolved alternatives.

'Ti to hunt with purpose. Target monsters that match my existing talents.'

Advancing his talents now required strategic targeting. Instead of random encounters, he needed creatures whose abilities aligned with his current portfolio. Fire-based monsters for his F Fire talent. Crystal creatures for his E Crystal Hardening. Speed-focused predators for his E Enhanced Speed.

'Every evolution multiplies combat effectiveness exponentially.'

The jungle stretched endlessly ahead, its diverse ecosystem promising encounters with every conceivable monster type.

His enhanced senses swept the surrounding vegetation, searching for specific energy signatures that matched his advancent needs.

Movent in the canopy announced aerial threats. Three winged shapes descended through filtered sunlight, their forms radiating the distinctive energy patterns of speed-specialized predators.

'Perfect. Speed enhancent opportunities.'

The Sky Razors moved with aerial grace that would challenge most ground-based fighters. Their enhanced speed manifested as lightning-quick diving attacks followed by rapid repositioning beyond effective counterattack range.

'Hit and run tactics. Standard aerial predator strategy. But they are fighting soone whi mastered that technique.>

But their Mid-Silver capabilities ant nothing against his overwhelming power advantage. Enhanced Speed activated, turning their rapid movents into manageable slow motion sequences.

Wind blades carved through their flight patterns like invisible nets. The creatures' speed beca irrelevant when faced with attacks that moved faster than thought itself.

Three corpses plumted to the jungle floor within seconds.

'Three cores. Marginal talent advancent expected.'

He processed their remains efficiently, each devouring session providing incrental improvents to his Enhanced Speed talent. The the first crystal devoured made advancent feel minimal—E to E still, but with subtle increases in effectiveness.

However upon eating the next two this was when he speed talented reached D-.

The jungle beckoned with promises of fla-based creatures whose abilities could push his fire manipulation beyond its current F limitations.

Smoke tendrils rising through the canopy caught his attention first. Then the acrid scent of burning vegetation reached his enhanced senses, accompanied by the distant roar of creatures accustod to destruction.

Fire-based predators. Exactly what I need.

Three massive shapes moved through the undergrowth ahead, their forms wreathed in natural flas that consud everything they touched. Trees smoldered in their wake while smaller vegetation simply disintegrated under their heat.

High-Silver rank. More challenging than previous encounters, but fodder remains fodder.

The salamanders moved with predatory confidence that spoke of apex status within their territorial range. Their fla-wreathed bodies radiated heat that distorted the air itself, creating shimr effects that would confuse lesser opponents.

D grade talents. Significantly stronger than my current fire capability. It seems like i'm lucky to evolve to if my talents today, fire and water.

Gold-rank power still trumped High-Silver capabilities, regardless of talent grades.

The lead salamander detected his presence first, its reptilian head swiveling toward him with intelligence that went beyond animal instinct. Flas erupted around its form as defensive systems activated automatically.

They know I'm here. No point in stealth.

Combat erupted as all three creatures attacked simultaneously. Gouts of superheated fla carved through jungle air while molten projectiles sought his vital points with lethal precision.

Ethan's Enhanced Speed activated, reality shifting into manageable slow motion. The salamanders' attacks beca readable patterns rather than overwhelming assault waves.

Wind blades materialized around his position, compressed air sharpened to cutting edges that sliced through even superheated environnts.

The salamanders' fla auras provided impressive defense, but concentrated force overwheld even enhanced protection.

The first creature fell to dismbernt, its fla body sputtering out as vital organs ceased functioning. The remaining two adapted quickly, their pack intelligence recognizing the threat level they faced.

But retreat required mobility they no longer possessed. Wind magic pinned them in place while fire magic—his own enhanced flas—t their natural abilities in direct confrontation.
