Evolve from cloning

The "Acupuncture" skill, as the only D-level skill on Su Ze, is barely used until now because it fits well with Su Ze's other skills.

As Su Ze's strength continued to improve, this skill gradually became weaker.

But after this upgrade, it became Su Ze's main output skill again.

"The last time I drank the tree marrow, which upgraded the skill of the 'regenerated body', the two are still related, and the skill upgrade is justified.

"But this time, it somehow absorbed the tentacles of a fourth-order coral polyp. How did it upgrade the 'Needle Strike'?"

Even if the Evolution God's Grace skill really has some hidden effect that makes it easier to upgrade his skills, it's impossible to just absorb anything and upgrade it.

Could it be that the stinging cells on the coral polyp's tentacles have something in common with my "needling" skill... Su Ze thought about it for a long time, and this is the only possibility.

But where did the effect of the explosion come from?

Also, why didn't the toxin of the coral polyp alien beast upgrade him?

Su Ze didn't know what skills the fourth-order coral polyps had, so he couldn't speculate. In short, upgrading skills is a good thing, and he didn't want to think about it so much, so he went home and danced happily.

...

Liu Wenyin was very efficient, and the thesis was written and published within two days.

She originally wanted to sign Su Ze alone, but at Su Ze's insistence, the two signed together, but Su Ze's name came first.

In this way, Su Ze also has a small research result in the field of evolution.

Originally, this paper would not attract too much attention, but because the authors are Su Ze and Liu Wenyin, they are so popular in Dongli recently that they brought extra heat to this matter.

For a while, Su Ze was blown to the sky again, saying that he was not only strong, but also a genius in evolution and so on.

Su Ze's family knew about their own family affairs, so they watched it online for fun, and it was over after a while, without taking it to heart.

In addition, after Liu Wenyin studied Su Ze's blood, she also made new discoveries.

"I found a very high level of energy in your cells. It seems that it is not absorbed by you from the outside world, but produced by your body itself. This is incredible..." Liu Wenyin paused slightly, seeing Su Ze focused on listening to her before continuing.

"This kind of energy can only be found in the body of a saint-level powerhouse, that is to say, only a saint-level life form has the ability to produce this energy by itself, but you did it in the cocoon breaking stage, or it may be in the pupa stage Even earlier."

Su Ze thought about it for a while, and felt that the high probability was related to the evolution of God's grace skills, and asked, "What is the use of this energy?"

Liu Wenyin replied: "Do you still remember that I told you that saint-level powerhouses can upgrade their skills? This energy is the key to their ability to upgrade their skills."

"That is to say, the reason for my two skill upgrades has been found, and now I can upgrade my skills like a saint-level powerhouse?" Su Ze was both surprised and a little excited.

"It's not that easy." Liu Wenyin said coldly, "The energy in your body is far less than that of a normal saint-level powerhouse. In addition, your evolution level is not enough to control these energies, so you can only use them passively."

"Sure enough, it still depends on luck."

"It's already a great fortune, so you can have fun secretly." Liu Wenyin saw that Su Ze was still not satisfied, so she had to popularize relevant knowledge for her brother who was illiterate in evolutionary science.

She said: "You have upgraded some skills in advance, which can not only improve your current combat power, but also save you a lot of time in the future, that is, after you become a saint."

Seeing Su Ze's puzzled face, Liu Wenyin was not surprised.

"This can be regarded as a relatively high-level knowledge of evolution. Do you know what is the biggest difference between an evolutionary who completes the fourth evolution and becomes a saint-level life form compared to an extraordinary level?"

"Stronger?" Su Ze guessed, he looked like a student who was suddenly called up by the teacher to answer questions in class.

Liu Wenyin glanced at Su Ze with an expression of "you're talking nonsense", and said, "It's the amount of absorbed extracts! After becoming a saint-level overlord, you can only absorb one tube of fifth-level extracts, not three tubes!"

Su Ze was stunned, and said: "Isn't that weakening? At each stage of the extraordinary level, you can absorb three tubes of extracts, acquire three skills, and strengthen your physical fitness three times. When you reach the holy level, you can only Can I get one more skill?"

Liu Wenyin shook her head and said: "The acquisition of fewer new skills does not mean that you are weak. Why do human evolutionaries need to absorb the extracts of higher-level life to evolve? In fact, it is to build a 'ladder'.

"Each tube of extract is a 'ladder' leading to a higher level of life. At the extraordinary stage, three tubes of extracts, that is, three ladders, are needed to help the evolutionary climb to a higher level, but at the holy level, All it takes is a ladder."

Su Ze wondered: "Wouldn't it be easier to evolve at the holy stage?"

"No, you can understand it this way. At the extraordinary level, the most important thing to climb up is the 'ladder'. The longer and stronger your ladder, the higher your success rate of climbing up. But at the holy level , everyone has only one ladder, who can climb it, who will fail, the important thing is the person who climbs the ladder."

After listening to Liu Wenyin's words, Su Ze vaguely grasped something, and asked after thinking for a moment: "So the focus of the holy stage is to strengthen the skills acquired before?"

Liu Wenyin finally nodded in satisfaction, showing a gratifying smile of "children can be taught", and said:

"That's right, every skill you acquire is engraved into your genes and is a part of your life. When you evolve into a holy life form, those skills you acquired at the mortal and extraordinary levels, Already seriously behind your level of life, they are dragging their feet.

"When you complete the fourth evolution and want to climb to the fifth evolution, you first need a tube of fifth-order extract as a ladder, and then you need to upgrade all the skills that are holding you back in your genes to the holy level. To be eligible to climb that ladder.

"It's not easy, it will take a lot of time, and of course the rewards will be great, and the improvement in strength will be very obvious. Can you imagine how strong you will be when all the skills you currently master are upgraded to the holy level?"

Su Ze imagined it for a while, and found that he couldn't imagine it... But in short, it's right to be strong, and what my sister said is definitely right.

"So my skill upgrade now is something that I can only do at the holy level in advance. After I become a holy level, I will save a lot of trouble." Su Ze understood.

"Yes." Liu Wenyin nodded slightly. "So I told you a long time ago that every skill you acquire now is very important. Don't waste any skill bar at will, because now these skills determine the upper limit of your strength at the holy level. The foundation, the stronger the foundation, the higher you can build it when you reach the holy level and add more bricks and tiles."

Su Ze nodded, keeping these in mind, and being more cautious about his future skill choices.

"By the way, sister, don't return your small piece of fourth-order coral stone after researching it, give it to me." Su Ze said suddenly.

Liu Wenyin glanced at him, and said, "After the precious research materials are used up, the rest must be handed back."

"I'm going to celebrate my birthday soon, so take it as a birthday present for me, good sister."

"Isn't your birthday still more than two months away?"

"My... the birthday on my ID card is Zhao Lingxiao's. I'm a clone. I don't have my own birthday. I don't have a father or a mother. I don't have any relatives. I'm alone..."

"Okay, okay." Liu Wenyin sighed helplessly, knowing that Su Ze was pretending to be pitiful, but she couldn't help but soften her heart, "I'll take it back for you in a few days."

"My sister still loves me, so I'll go buy you milk tea right now."

Su Ze immediately went out with a smile.

He wanted the fourth-order coral stone, mainly because he wanted to soak it in water for drinking.

Before Ning Yushen gave him half a piece of third-order coral stone the size of a brick, and he broke a small piece every day for the past two days, ground it into powder and soaked it in water to drink, and his weight increased day by day.

Of course, it is not gaining weight, but bone density has improved significantly.

As bone density increases, bones will naturally become harder and more resistant to blows.

The third-order coral stone has such an obvious effect, so of course Su Ze is thinking about the fourth-order coral stone from Liu Wenyin.

...

Su Ze's seven-day leave had already been used up, so he asked his counselor Jiang Hong for a long leave again, saying that he was going to attend the Lin Huazhou Evolution Symposium with Liu Wenyin and had to prepare.

Jiang Hong had nothing to say. After all, Su Ze had just published his research results, and he also got a B-level meritorious service during his leave and received a national award.

Jiang Hong, as a teacher in the establishment of Dongli University, can also be regarded as a civil servant in Dongli. With Su Ze's promotion after his meritorious service, his rank is even higher than Jiang Hong's.

This made Jiang Hong feel like he was talking to the leader every time he communicated with Su Ze.

Su Ze's leave was not entirely for skipping classes. During this time, he went to Liu Wenyin's laboratory to help out every day, and learned a lot of evolutionary knowledge in the process.

He gets up every morning, brews a cup of coral stone granule, goes out with the cup like an old man, goes to the laboratory for half a day, and comes back in the afternoon to dance the swan dance with Aunt Yun and digest the extract.

Learn knowledge in the morning and practice postures in the afternoon. Wen and Wu are the same.

The progress is also obvious, the gravitational demon extract in the body is digested day by day, and because he insists on taking the third-order coral stone granule every day, it also makes his bones harder and harder.

Su Ze checked the third-order coral stone. You can't drink too much every day. You can only drink a small piece the size of a fingernail at most. If you drink too much, you will easily get kidney stones.

God Ning Yu gave me a good gift. He really wanted to recruit me as his grandson-in-law... Su Ze said with emotion, he had inquired that the third-order coral stone was worth a lot, such a large piece was worth hundreds of millions.

Speaking of this, Su Ze suddenly thought of Senior Sister Ye Jin, why has there been no movement for so many days? Are you not coming to Dongli University?

He looked at the dark night outside the window, picked up his phone and sent Ye Jin a message.

[Su Ze: Sister, how are you thinking? When will you come to Dongli University? 】

【Ye Jin: I originally planned to go there two days ago, but something happened at the base, so it may take a while before I go. 】

Ye Jin replied in seconds, she was always so polite, and if there were no special circumstances, she would always reply in seconds.

【Su Ze: What happened? Is it convenient to say? 】

【Ye Jin: Two soldiers disappeared one after another in the base. We searched for several days before we found the body of the first missing soldier, and there is no clue about the second missing soldier. 】

Su Ze frowned. One of the two soldiers died and the other disappeared. It couldn't be an accident or a coincidence. Who is so bold to go to the army to make trouble?

[Su Ze: Is there anyone you suspect? 】

[Ye Jin: At present, it is still unclear whether it was the work of the alien beast or the human evolution. The dead soldier was drained of flesh and blood, leaving only one bone. In addition, the body was severely damaged, and nothing more can be seen. . 】

【Ye Jin: Grandma has been investigating this matter, and I am also trying to help her share some of the matter. When this matter comes to light, I will go to Dongli University. 】

【Su Ze: Alright senior sister, I'll wait for you to come over. If you need help, just send me a message. I'll be there at night. 】

That's what I said, but at such a distance, Su Ze didn't feel that he could help much.

After finishing the chat with Ye Jin, Su Ze lay on the bed, flipped through his phone casually, and saw a piece of news.

"The owner of an evolution store in Ningshui City has disappeared mysteriously."

According to news reports, the missing shop owner himself is a cocoon-breaking evolutionary and has close ties with many "fisherman" teams. His shop mainly deals in extracts and materials of marine animals.

An evolutionary who lives by hunting exotic animals on land is called a "hunter", so an evolutionary who hunts exotic animals for a living is naturally called a "fisherman".

"Another case of the disappearance of an evolutionary, is there any connection with the case of the disappearance of soldiers in the naval base?"

Su Ze naturally came up with an association, mainly that Ningshui City is not far from Lihai City, and it is entirely possible that the same murderer fled around to commit the crime.

Su Ze forwarded the news to Ye Jin, and it would not be a bad thing for them to check it out.

Su Ze didn't pay much attention to this matter. He is now wholeheartedly waiting to go to Lin Huaguo to participate in the academic exchange meeting, hoping to get some valuable information from Feng Boyi.

Before that, all he had to do was digest the gravitational demon extract with peace of mind, and prepare to absorb the mutated electric eel extract.

What Su Ze didn't expect was that the news he casually forwarded to Ye Jin turned out to be wrong. The Dongli military followed this clue and found something.

In the warehouse of the missing evolution store owner, a severely damaged corpse was found, and after DNA comparison, it was confirmed that it was the second missing soldier.

It can be inferred from this that the two cases should be the same murderer, but there is no information about the murderer, such as fingerprints and DNA.
