The "Acupuncture" skill, as the only D-level skill on Su Ze's body, is also because it is more compatible with Su Ze's other skills, so it has barely been used until now.

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

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

"Last time, I drank the pith of the tree and upgraded the 'regenerated body' skill, and the two are quite related, and the skill upgrade is reasonable.

"But this time, I inexplicably absorbed the tentacles of a fourth-order polyp, how did I escalate the 'needle strike'?"

Even if the Evolution Divine Grace skill really has some hidden effect that can make it easier for his skills to level up, it is impossible to just absorb something and level it up.

Could it be that the stinging cells on the polyp's tentacles have something in common with my "needle strike" skills...... Su Ze thought about it for a long time, and only this possibility was a little bigger.

But where did the effect of the explosion come from?

Also, why didn't the toxins of the polyps and alien beasts be upgraded for him?

Su Ze didn't know what skills the fourth-order polyps had, so there was no way to speculate, in short, skill upgrades were a good thing, and he didn't want to do so much, so he happily went home and danced.

……

Liu Wenyin was very efficient, and the paper was written and published in less than 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 can be regarded as having a little research achievement in the field of evolution.

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

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

Su Ze's family knew about his family's affairs, so he watched it on the Internet, and it was over after a while, and he didn't take it to heart.

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

"I found a very high level of energy in your cells, it doesn't seem to be absorbed by you from the outside world, but produced by your body itself, it's incredible......" Liu Wenyin paused slightly, seeing that Su Ze was listening to her intently, before continuing.

"This kind of energy is only available in the body of a saint-level powerhouse, that is to say, a saint-level lifeform has the ability to produce this kind of energy on its own, but it can be done in the cocoon breaking period, or it may be in the chrysalis stage or even earlier."

Su Ze thought for a while, felt that this was most likely related to the Evolution Divine Charism skill, and asked, "What's the use of this energy?" ”

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

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

"It's not that easy." Liu Wenyin poured cold water and said, "This kind of energy in your body is far less than that of a normal saint-level powerhouse, plus your evolution level is not enough to control these energies, resulting in you can only passively use these energies." ”

"Sure enough, it's still going to be lucky."

"It's already a great luck, so you can steal the fun." Liu Wenyin saw that Su Ze was still not satisfied, so she had to give her illiterate brother in chemistry a bit of relevant knowledge.

She said: "You have upgraded some skills in advance, not only can you 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 is also a relatively high-level evolutionary knowledge, do you know what is the biggest difference between the evolutionary and the transcendent level after the evolutionary completes the fourth evolution and becomes a saint-level lifeform?"

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

Liu Wenyin glanced at Su Ze with an expression of "you are talking nonsense" and said, "It's the amount of extracts absorbed!" After becoming a Saint-level Overlord, he could only absorb one tube of fifth-order extract, not three tubes! ”

Su Ze was stunned and said, "Isn't that getting weaker?" At the transcendent level, you can absorb three tubes of extracts at each stage, obtain three skills, and your physical fitness will also be strengthened three times, and when you reach the holy level, you can only get one more skill at each stage? ”

Liu Wenyin shook her head and said: "If you have fewer new skills, it doesn't mean that you are weak, why should human evolutionaries absorb the extracts of higher level life in order to evolve?" In fact, it is to build a 'ladder'.

"Each tube of extract is a 'ladder' to a higher life level, and in the transcendent stage, three tubes of extract, that is, three ladders, are needed to help the evolver climb to a higher level, but in the saint-level stage, only one ladder is needed."

Su Ze was puzzled: "Wouldn't it be easier to evolve at the saint-level stage?" ”

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

Listening to Liu Wenyin's words, Su Ze vaguely grasped something, and after thinking for a moment, he asked, "So the focus of the saint-level stage is to strengthen those skills that you have acquired before?" ”

Liu Wenyin finally nodded with 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, after you evolve into a saint-level lifeform, those skills you have acquired at the mortal level and transcendent level have seriously lagged behind your life level, and they are lagging behind.

"When you complete the fourth evolution and want to climb to the fifth evolution, first you need a tube of fifth-order extract as a ladder, and then you need to upgrade all the skills in your genes that are lagging your feet to the saint level, so that you are qualified to climb that ladder.

"It's not easy, it takes a lot of time, of course, the gains are also great, the strength improvement will be very obvious, can you imagine how strong it will be if all these skills you have mastered are raised to the saint level?"

Su Ze imagined it for a moment and found that he couldn't imagine it...... But in short, it's very strong, and what my sister said must be right.

"So my skill upgrade now is to do things that can only be done at the saint-level stage in advance, and I will save a lot of things when I become a saint-level in the future." Su Ze understood.

"Yes." Liu Wenyin bowed slightly. "So I told you a long time ago that every skill you have obtained now is very important, don't waste any skill column at will, because now these skills determine the upper limit of your strength in the holy level, they are like the foundation you laid, the stronger the foundation, when you reach the holy level, and then add bricks and tiles, you can build higher."

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

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

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

"I'm going to have a birthday soon, so be a birthday present for me, good sister."

"Isn't there more than two months left on your birthday?"

"I ...... The birthday on the ID card, I wrote Zhao Lingxiao, I am a clone, how can I have my own birthday, no father hurts, no mother's love, no relatives, lonely and miserable......"

"Alright, alright." Liu Wenyin sighed helplessly, knowing that Su Ze was pretending to be pitiful, but she still couldn't help but soften, "I'll bring it back to you in a few days." ”

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

Su Ze immediately went out with a smile.

He wanted the fourth-order coral stone, mainly because he wanted to use it to soak in water and drink.

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

Of course, it's not that I've gained weight, but that my bone density has increased significantly.

As bone density increases, bones will naturally harden and become more resistant to beating.

The third-order coral stone has such an obvious effect, and Su Ze is of course worried about the fourth-order coral stone that Liu Wenyin has.

……

Su Ze's seven-day vacation had run out, and he asked the counselor Jiang Hong for a long leave again, saying that he was going to participate in the Lin Huazhou Chemical Exchange Conference with Liu Wenyin and to prepare.

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

Jiang Hong, as a teacher in the establishment of Dongli University, can also be regarded as a public official of Dongli, and with Su Ze's promotion after meritorious service, his rank is even one level higher than Jiang Hong.

This made Jiang Hong always have a feeling of "crushing people to death at the level of the official university" every time he communicated with Su Ze, as if he was talking to the leader.

Su Ze's leave is not entirely to skip class, during this time, he will go to Liu Wenyin's laboratory every day to help out, and he has also learned a lot of advanced chemistry knowledge in the process.

He got up every morning, brewed a cup of coral stone powder, went out with the cup like an old man, went to the laboratory to work for half a day, and came back in the afternoon to dance the swan dance with Aunt Yun and digest the extract.

Learn knowledge in the morning and practice posture in the afternoon, Wen and Wu Na are the same.

The progress was also obvious, the gravitational demon extract in his body was digested day by day, and because he insisted on taking the third-order coral stone powder every day, it also made his bones harder and harder.

Su Ze checked the third-order coral stone, and he couldn't drink too much every day, at most he could only drink a small piece as big as his fingernails, and it was easy to get kidney stones if he drank too much.

Ning Yushen gave me a good gift, this is really trying to recruit me as my grandson-in-law...... Su Ze sighed, he inquired, the third-order coral stone is worth a lot of money, such a large piece, worth more than a billion.

Speaking of this, Su Ze suddenly remembered Senior Sister Ye Jin, why hasn't there been any movement for so many days? Don't come to Dongli University?

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

[Su Ze: Senior sister, how are you thinking about it? When did you come to Dongli University? 】

[Ye Jin: I originally planned to go over two days ago, but something happened at the base, and I may have to delay it for a while. 】

Ye Hibiscus is a second reply, she is always so polite, if there are no special circumstances, she will always reply to messages in seconds.

[Su Ze: What's wrong? Is it convenient to say? 】

[Ye Jin: There are two soldiers missing in the base one after another, and we searched for several days before we found the body of the first missing soldier, and the second missing soldier still has no clues. 】

Su Ze frowned, the two soldiers died and disappeared, it couldn't be an accident or a coincidence, who was so bold as to dare to go to the army to make trouble?

[Su Ze: Is there a suspicion?] 】

[Hibiscus: It's still uncertain whether it was a strange beast or a human evolutionary, but the dead soldier was drained of flesh and blood, leaving only one bone, and the body was badly damaged, so I can't see anything more. 】

[Ye Jin: Grandma has been investigating this matter recently, and I am trying to help her share a little bit of things, and when this matter is cleared up, I will go to Dongli University. 】

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

said so, but from such a distance, Su Ze didn't feel that he could help much.

After ending the chat with Ye Jin, Su Ze was lying on the bed, flipping through his mobile phone at random, and saw a piece of news.

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

According to news reports, the missing shopkeeper is himself a cocoon-breaking evolutionary with close ties to many "fisherman" squads, and his shop mainly deals in extracts and materials for sea beasts.

Evolutionaries who hunt alien beasts on land are called "hunters", so evolutionaries who hunt marine beasts for a living are naturally called "fishermen".

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

Su Ze naturally had an association, the main Ningshui City is not far from Lihai City, and it is entirely possible that the same murderer is running around to commit the crime.

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

Su Ze didn't pay much attention to this matter, he was now waiting to go to Lin Huaguo to participate in the academic exchange meeting, hoping to get some valuable information from Feng Boyi's mouth at that time.

Until then, all he had to do was digest the gravitational demon extract with peace of mind and prepare to absorb the mutant electric eel extract.

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

In the warehouse of the missing Evolution shop owner, a badly damaged body was found, and DNA comparison 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.
