Chapter 156: Chapter 146: Absorbing the Mutated Electric Eel Extract
February 8th.
In less than 20 days, Su Ze had finally and completely digested the Gravity Demon Extract in his body.
The main reason it took a bit longer was that he had gone out for a while and hadn’t been grinding as hard as when he digested the Black-bellied Flood Dragon Extract.
Still, compared to other evolved individuals, his speed was practically like using a cheat code.
It was mainly because he was filthy rich, popping Tomorrow Flower Petals like they were free, and supplenting it with the Swan Dance... Moreover, he had a faint feeling that his speed of digesting Evolutionary Material was simply faster than the average person’s!
Su Ze attributed all his inexplicably overpowered abilities to his "Divine Grace of Evolution" skill.
Just as he was preparing to absorb the Mutated Electric Eel Extract, he received an unexpected phone call.
The call was from Zhao Yuanyi’s secretary.
The last ti Mr. Wang had contacted Su Ze, he’d said Zhao Yuanyi wanted to "bury the hatchet and beco father and son," but Su Ze had told him he needed to see so sincerity from Zhao Yuanyi first.
He had assud that was the end of it and that Zhao Yuanyi wouldn’t contact him again. He never expected to receive another call from Mr. Wang nearly a month later.
What was even more unexpected was that Zhao Yuanyi had actually shown his sincerity!
Three hundred thousand Evolutionary Technology points!
Su Ze was stunned when he heard the number from Mr. Wang.
’What is Zhao Yuanyi thinking?’
’He’s actually going to give
300,000 points just to get
to call him ’dad’?’
Zhao Yuanyi wasn’t short on cash. Three billion Lin Hua dollars wouldn’t have been a big deal to him.
But 300,000 points was a different matter entirely. Lin Hua dollars couldn’t be exchanged for points. Evolutionary Technology points could only be obtained by selling high-level Evolution Items.
However, Zhao Yuanyi did have a Saint-level overlord as a backer, so it wasn’t entirely surprising that he could co up with 300,000 points. What shocked Su Ze was that Zhao Yuanyi was willing to transfer all 300,000 points directly to him.
No strings attached, just a direct transfer!
Mr. Wang urged, "Young Master, if you could give
your Evolutionary Technology account number, I’ll transfer it to you right away."
Su Ze had just said it offhandedly at the ti, but he never thought Zhao Yuanyi would actually agree.
It left him at a bit of a loss for what to do.
’If I take this money, what does that make my relationship with Zhao Yuanyi? When I’m stronger in the future, should I still seek revenge and settle the score with the Zhao Family?’
’So that’s Zhao Yuanyi’s plan. He wants
to take the money so it will be awkward for
to get revenge on the Zhao Family later...’ Su Ze mused. ’If I were in Zhao Yuanyi’s shoes, using 300,000 points to resolve the enmity with a genius of limitless potential would be worth it.’
After all, the Zhao Family couldn’t deal with this particular genius right now; they could only watch him grow stronger.
’If that’s what Zhao Yuanyi is really thinking, then he’s misjudged . I’m not that kind of person... I’ll take the money and still turn on him without a second thought!’
If Zhao Yuanyi dared to give it, he dared to take it.
However, to the current Su Ze, 300,000 points was an amount that could tempt him, but not enough to make him lose control.
At the beginning, he would have called Zhao Yuanyi "dad" for 200 million.
Now, his status and strength were on a completely different level. He himself was a man with assets in the tens of billions, so naturally, his price had gone up.
Three hundred thousand points to make him accept an enemy as his father?
’Not enough. He has to add more!’
"Go tell Mr. Zhao his sincerity is still a little lacking."
CLICK! Su Ze hung up the phone.
Putting the matter out of his mind, Su Ze took out a tube of extract that shone with a yellow evolutionary light.
It was the Tier Three S -grade Mutated Electric Eel Extract. Liou Wenxin had taken it to study for a few days and had now returned it to Su Ze.
It had only been a little over twenty days since Su Ze completed his second evolution. Now, absorbing the second tube of extract for the Pupa Stage, Su Ze was quite satisfied with his progress.
Su Ze downed the Mutated Electric Eel Extract in one go. Instantly, his entire mouth, including his tongue and lips, went numb.
His whole mouth lost all sensation, and the numbness then spread to his entire head, as if he had been electrocuted.
Su Ze had long been prepared for this tube of extract to taste bad, but he never expected it to be electrified.
The electric current followed the extract into his stomach and then surged throughout his body. Su Ze collapsed powerlessly to the ground, twitching intermittently like soone who had been electrocuted.
But his consciousness remained clear. He could feel the Mutated Electric Eel Extract completely transform into a mass of electricity, boring into every cell of his body and remodeling him.
’Not a big deal, I just have to wait it out...’ Sensing no danger, Su Ze gave up resisting and quietly enjoyed the tingling, numbing sensation of being electrocuted.
The process was longer than Su Ze had imagined. About two hours later, he entered the skill selection phase.
There wasn’t much to choose from, however. There was only one enhanced version of the "Frenzied Electric Body" skill.
After Su Ze selected the skill, he felt his body "charging up." A terrifying amount of electrical energy began to accumulate inside him, stored within every one of his cells.
At the sa ti, the enhancent effect of "Knowledge is Power" was triggered. Sensing that Su Ze had mastered a new skill, it imdiately strengthened his body once more.
After the enhancent was complete, Su Ze’s body was still charging.
About an hour later, the charging was complete.
Su Ze knew a little about the standard version of the "Frenzied Electric Body" skill. It was known for the saying, "two hours to charge, five minutes to fight." In other words, it took about two hours to fully charge, but if used at full power in battle, it would only last for about five minutes.
But Su Ze’s enhanced version of "Frenzied Electric Body" clearly had a faster charging speed, finishing in just one hour. Moreover, Su Ze could sense that his electricity storage capacity was also greater than the standard version.
’If I use it continuously, it should last for about twenty minutes. And it seems my ’Frenzied Electric Body’ also has a function that lets it charge while in use. Lasting for half an hour shouldn’t be a problem.’
A normal battle would be over long before half an hour had passed. It was more than enough.
More importantly, the power of Su Ze’s electric shocks was definitely stronger than the standard "Frenzied Electric Body"!
The "Frenzied Electric Body" skill itself was S-grade, and its effect was simple, brutal, and powerful: it allowed the user to store electricity in their body, discharge it during attacks, and be immune to it themselves.
Su Ze’s enhanced version of Frenzied Electric Body boosted the charging speed, storage capacity, and shock power by a large margin.
Su Ze decided to na this enhanced "Frenzied Electric Body" the "Thunder God Body."
Thunder God Body: Stores electrical energy within the body, allows free control over this energy, and grants immunity to lightning and electrical damage.
The upper limit of this skill actually depended on the user’s own control.
The dumbest way to use it was to charge in for close-quarters combat, shocking people with electrified punches and kicks.
A more sophisticated use, however, was to combine it with other skills and one’s evolutionary power. Mrs. Yun, for example, had once gathered electricity into an Electric Whip to strike others, and had also used an electric net to block bullets.
Electric currents need a conductor, and evolutionary power could conduct electricity. This was why Mrs. Yun was able to use moves like the Electric Whip and the electric net. However, this required corresponding skills and extrely precise control over one’s own evolutionary power.
An idea Su Ze had was to combine this skill with his Gravity Chain.
The Gravity Chain was ford by coalescing Gravity Dust Sand, and Gravity Dust Sand was transford from Su Ze’s evolutionary power. Therefore, the Gravity Chain could also conduct electricity.
This way, when he used the Gravity Chain to pull soone, he could also deliver an electric shock... This was equivalent to him having a ranged attack.
An Electric Lock from a kiloter away might electrocute soone to death before they were even pulled over.
Even if it didn’t kill them, the current itself had a paralyzing effect. Applying so crowd control would be excellent, allowing him to pull them over for a savage beating.
There were still more uses for this skill waiting to be developed. In short, it was a skill with a very high ceiling and limitless possibilities.
’Just how strong am I now? I really want to find an opponent to test it out.’
After this excessive surge in power, Su Ze’s hands and heart were itching for a fight.
In the past ten-odd days, his strength had advanced by leaps and bounds.
He had completely digested the Gravity Demon Extract, absorbed the Mutated Electric Eel Extract, and received another enhancent from "Knowledge is Power," causing his physical strength to take another great leap forward!
In terms of skills, "Needle Strike" had been upgraded, and he had also mastered the powerful "Thunder God Body" skill!
Furthermore, he had been taking Tier Three Coral Stone Powder every day during this period, causing his bone density to skyrocket, becoming harder than bedrock.
He now weighed over two hundred pounds, with more than half of that being just the weight of his bones.
After taking the Tier Three Coral Stone for more than ten consecutive days, the stuff no longer had much effect on Su Ze. He figured he had reached saturation; after all, it was impossible to improve without limit.
As for the Tier Four Coral Stone he had gotten from Liou Wenxin, it would definitely still be useful. However, Su Ze wasn’t in a hurry to take it, as it was too high-level for him. Liou Wenxin had advised him that it would be best to wait until he reached the Butterfly Stage before consuming it.
In the long ti since his first evolution (a re two and a half months), Su Ze felt for the first ti that he was "not human."
The Extraordinary level, transcending mortals. Only now did Su Ze truly feel it... he really couldn’t be considered human anymore.
"Who should I spar with?" Su Ze walked out onto the balcony and saw Mrs. Yun dancing downstairs.
’Challenging soone above my level is the only way it’s interesting!’
Su Ze leaped down from the balcony, his two-hundred-plus-pound body making the ground tremble upon impact.
"Sun Xiayun, let
see which is stronger! Your Frenzied Electric Body, or my Thunder God Body!"
「Two seconds later...」
"Mrs. Yun, go easy on ..."
Su Ze realized his mistake. It wasn’t wrong to challenge soone of a higher level. His mistake was challenging an expert at the Peak of Butterfly Transformation Stage, a re wall away from the Saint level.
That wasn’t challenging a higher level; that was smashing an egg against a rock.
’I really can’t get carried away. When I get the chance, I should find a low-level Tier Three mutated beast to practice on first.’
For the next two days, Su Ze familiarized himself with his new skills and pondered all sorts of weird and wonderful ways to use them.
anwhile, the entry application he and Liou Wenxin had submitted to visit Lin Hua Country had finally been reviewed and approved.
They could go to Lin Hua Country!
Counting the days, the Evolutionary Exchange Conference was about to begin. Liou Wenxin and Su Ze packed their bags and prepared to depart.
The other three evolutionary scientists from the Dongli Kingdom who had been invited would be traveling with them. Among them, surprisingly, was Principal Zhou Wenshan.
