"Oh?"
Lin Ran looked at Matt with a hint of surprise.
Honestly speaking, his Eternal Mangekyo Sharingan was not a product of this world!
Although, of course, there was still room for evolution beyond the Eternal Mangekyo Sharingan.
For example, the Rinnegan, the Six Tomoe Rinnegan, and the Nine Tomoe Rinnegan (Rinne Sharingan)...
Could it be that the talent evolution effect of this world could also apply to his fishing yields?
If that were the case, wouldn't he be able to intensify his development of each different talent?
Seeing Lin Ran lost in thought, Matt spun his chair around triumphantly.
"This Meteorite Demonic Essence was something I refined from the source of a dying hero-level Blood Eyed Demon. I ventured alone into a temporal rift, pursued one of the alien races into the territory of the Demon race, and forcibly killed him to refine this divine object from his demonic origin."
"The Blood Eyed Demon possessed a pair of eyes remarkably similar to yours, and its abilities were also related."
"If you were to consume this, it might just trigger an evolution in your eyes."
"Of course, digesting the Meteorite Demonic Essence is quite difficult."
"Even after it's consumed, it might take a considerable amount of time to fully digest."
"But it's still useful, wouldn't you say!"
Saying this, he pushed the Meteorite Demonic Essence towards Lin Ran.
Lin Ran, somewhat bewildered, took the Meteorite Demonic Essence into his hands.
"But... how does one consume this thing?"
"I can't possibly just open my mouth and eat it, can I?"
Matt spun his chair again, patting the armrest.
"What else? Are you going to insert it from your backside?"
"Just use your brain a little and you'll know this is meant to be eaten!"
Lin Ran rolled his eyes and, with resignation, cupped the Meteorite Demonic Essence.
It was a spherical object, at least 20 centimeters in radius, and by no means looked like something that could be eaten.
Inside, it seemed to contain a special liquid, which also didn't appear to be something one could bite into.
Damn it! Why not use the Ope Ope no Mi's ability to directly swap the Meteorite Demonic Essence into his stomach?
As Lin Ran was lost in such thoughts, Matt spoke again.
"Evolution of talent and bloodline, after all, is either through external means to promote upgrading or through independent development and free evolution."
"The former is more likely to cause mutations in talent and bloodline, while the latter is more likely to return talent and bloodline to their essence."
"But regardless of the path, the demand for energy and matter is immense."
"And energy and matter themselves are quite sentient. As long as you open your mouth and bring the Meteorite Demonic Essence to your lips, it will recognize whether you can accept its power!"
"If you can, it will move on its own."
After listening to Matt's composed explanation, Lin Ran followed his instructions. He raised the Meteorite Demonic Essence to his mouth and gently opened his jaws.
To Lin Ran's surprise, such a slight movement caused a violent change in the Meteorite Demonic Essence.
This once enormous and unpalatable orb instantly transformed into a malevolent stream of light and was swallowed whole by him.
Simultaneously, surges of potent and explosive energy spread throughout Lin Ran's body, rapidly filling his internal organs.
Lin Ran immediately felt a sensation of wanting to vomit.
So, in a subconscious reaction, Lin Ran quickly shut his mouth tightly.
This was a precious opportunity; how could he let such a good thing escape so easily?
Even if he choked to death on it, he would at least be a well-fed ghost.
However, with Matt guarding him, nothing major would happen.
As expected, upon seeing Lin Ran ingest the Meteorite Demonic Essence, Matt's eyes flashed with brilliance, and he leaped from his seat.
"Excellent, kid! Your bloodline is truly remarkable!"
"It's the first time I've seen someone make the Meteorite Demonic Essence so excited... "
"It seems your compatibility with it is very high!"
"In that case, consume it with confidence, digest it boldly. I'm here to protect you, and you'll be fine!"
With Matt's assurance, Lin Ran felt even more at ease.
While desperately resisting the discomfort in his body, he diligently circulated his energy to digest the Meteorite Demonic Essence within him.
This incredibly powerful energy was now rampaging within Lin Ran's body, causing him no end of agitation.
It was only thanks to Lin Ran, with his Natural Spirit Body and Golden Dragon Martial Soul, and his exceptionally robust physique, that he could endure this.
Anyone else would have suffered internal injuries and bodily collapse.
Under the effects of this ferocious potency, Lin Ran discovered that the gene modification fluids and heavenly treasures he had previously consumed and not yet fully digested were all being transformed into bodily fluids and expelled from his body.
Along with them, a considerable amount of impurities from Lin Ran's body was also purged.
This naturally caused Lin Ran a pang of heartache.
After all, Lin Ran, due to his outstanding merits and abundant reserves of academic credits, hunting points, and military merits, usually consumed top-grade modification fluids and at least gold-grade heavenly treasures.
This was a considerable fortune!
And now, because of this Meteorite Demonic Essence, it was all wasted, which was truly a shame.
He could only think himself lucky that he hadn't consumed the Meteorite Demonic Essence while digesting the two epic-grade heavenly treasures he had extorted from Du Jun.
Otherwise, he would have been utterly distraught.
Seeing Lin Ran's pained expression, Matt couldn't help but sneer.
"I've given you a divine object like the Meteorite Demonic Essence, and you're still worrying about the residual medicinal power in your body."
"How petty!"
"If you can digest this Meteorite Demonic Essence, won't that be far more beneficial than consuming those other things?"
As Matt spoke, he placed his hand on Lin Ran's forehead, constantly monitoring the situation within Lin Ran's body.
As time passed, the ferocious potency of the Meteorite Demonic Essence finally began to show signs of improvement.
Lin Ran gradually regained control of his body.
After some more time, Lin Ran finally regained his consciousness, and an astonishing aura erupted from his entire being.
"Hoo... hoo..."
Lin Ran panted, slowly rising from his chair.
His clothes were soaked through with sweat from the extreme exertion and exhaustion.
Matt, however, paid no mind to such details and burst into laughter.
"It seems to be a great success! Little Ran! You truly are something!"
"After all these years, this is the first time I've seen someone perfectly absorb such terrifying energy!"
"Here, take this mirror. Take a look for yourself!"
