110: Skill Enhancement

After a while, Su Yuan finished all the spoils, and he didn't even need to look to know that the evolution points had definitely exploded!

After devouring all the evolution points, Su Yuan began to swim towards Dayang Lake.

At the same time, he was checking his gains.

【evolution points: 282888 / 30000】 (Psionic energy absorption in progress) (Evolvable)

【Congratulations, Host, your evolution points have exceeded 100,000. 100,000 evolution points have been automatically spent to unlock a new function.】

【Congratulations, Host, new function unlocked successfully. Skill Enhancement Function unlocked.】

“Two hundred and eighty thousand evolution points?! What the hell, little system, I advise you to be kind! You just snatched away 100,000 evolution points from me?!!!”

One second Su Yuan was surprised, the next he was almost overcome with anger, nearly fainting from rage.

Damn it, 100,000 evolution points! How long would that take him to farm!

Su Yuan was so anxious he wanted to kill the System. This was the first time in his life he had obtained so many evolution points.

Before they had even warmed up, you took away 100,000!

“Alright, alright! little system, you just wait for me! If this function doesn't satisfy me, I'll tear you apart sooner or later!”

Su Yuan closed the system panel, directly activated the Swift Travel skill, and his speed was so fast he was almost flying!

He no longer cared about avoiding cameras; at this speed, his Camouflage Ability was completely useless.

Soon, Su Yuan rushed into Dayang Lake, his entire body streamlined, and his speed increased even further.

Along the way, various large fish and shrimp became more abundant, and Su Yuan directly crashed through them, clearing a path.

He couldn't bother with devouring or hunting; he absolutely had to immediately see what this function that swallowed 100,000 of his evolution points was like!

Finally, Su Yuan returned to the entrance of the Underground Dark River and burrowed in.

After entering the Underground Dark River, Su Yuan swam for several kilometers in one breath before stopping. A terrifying aura permeated the area, scaring away all the surrounding animals.

Su Yuan looked at the system panel and found a Skill Enhancement button to the right of the personal attribute panel.

He clicked on it, and a panel appeared, displaying all the skills he had acquired.

The panel also explained that the Skill Enhancement function could enhance acquired skills, making them even more powerful.

“Oh my, isn't this what they call 'Enhancement ruins a life'!”

Su Yuan muttered to himself, his expression still acceptable, not too ferocious.

Although enhancement was a huge pit, its power was undeniable.

Otherwise, he wouldn't have fallen into this pit back then.

He just didn't know what the System's Skill Enhancement was like.

What resources did it consume? What was the success rate? And most importantly, would the skill be retained if enhancement failed?

Su Yuan selected his most satisfying skill, Laser Beam.

【Laser Beam: Enhancement +1, Success Rate 80%, Enhancement requires 10,000 evolution points. Upon successful enhancement, skill power and range each increase by 10% for the same consumption. If enhancement fails, the skill is retained.】

“Holy crap, it actually costs 10,000 evolution points, and Enhancement +1? Your sister, Kelly's are guaranteed to succeed, but you actually have a chance of failure!”

Su Yuan gritted his teeth in anger. He already had a premonition that this enhancement function would be even more of a pit than that old woman Kelly, an absolute bottomless pit!

He then opened Survival of the Fittest. The importance of this skill was self-evident.

【Survival of the Fittest: Enhancement +1, Success Rate 80%, Enhancement requires 10,000 evolution points. Upon successful enhancement, you can adapt to more complex environments. If enhancement fails, the skill is retained.】

“It's also 10,000 evolution points, but due to the nature of the skill, no specific numerical value was given, I suppose.”

Su Yuan muttered to himself, then looked at other skills like Fire Dragon Technique, Mind Whisper, Black Light Shield, and Swift Travel.

They were all the same, all requiring 10,000 evolution points, and upon successful enhancement, their power would increase by 10%.

Su Yuan was very tempted, wanting to enhance all his skills to +10.

One must know, when traversing the Arad Continent, without a full set of +10 equipment, one wouldn't have the confidence to even approach Young Misses.

“Steady, steady, don't panic.”

Su Yuan took a few deep breaths, forcefully suppressing the urge to go all-in.

“First, I'll level up. The remaining evolution points will then be used for enhancement. Leveling up is more important. Skill enhancement only boosts the power of skills, while leveling up brings comprehensive strengthening.”

Su Yuan mumbled to himself. After convincing himself, he didn't dare to delay and immediately began to evolve.

With the disappearance of 30,000 evolution points, an astonishing power surged within Su Yuan's body, permeating every inch of his flesh, cells, and Claws beak structure.

After an unknown period, Su Yuan woke up, surprised to find that his body size hadn't increased.

“However, my strength seems to have increased quite a bit.”

Su Yuan stretched his body. The power within him surged like a spring, endless. As his eight tentacles danced, they touched the stone walls on both sides, cracking them and causing many stones to fall.

“Could it be that my body size has reached its limit?”

Su Yuan frowned. He had a small goal of surpassing the Kraken, after all.

【Rank: 31】

【evolution points: 152888 / 40000】 (Psionic energy absorption in progress) (Evolvable)

“Intermediate Suckers? Better than nothing, I guess.”

Su Yuan was somewhat disappointed. His strength had reached a point where he hardly needed the ability of suckers, unless he was facing an opponent whose body was so slippery that it was difficult to secure with just Claws.

“I still have enough evolution points, let's continue to evolve.”

...And so, Su Yuan underwent his first-ever multiple evolutions.

Time flowed, and an unknown duration passed.

Within the dark, lightless Underground Dark River, an incredibly terrifying aura suddenly surged. The flowing Underground Dark River suddenly became chaotic and turbulent, capable of easily sweeping away an adult.

In the darkness, a colossal silhouette flickered in and out of view, accompanied by two giant eyes lighting up, and the terrifying aura reached its peak!

“Awesome! I evolved four times consecutively, but why is my body length still thirty-seven meters? Could it be that I'm really stuck here?”

Su Yuan looked at the system panel, somewhat speechless. He had hoped that one day, the ocean would be his water bowl or bathtub.

However, although his body length hadn't changed, his overall physical strength had increased tremendously.

After reaching Rank 30, although the evolution points required for evolution increased significantly, the strength gained from each evolution was even more astonishing.

Most importantly, the new aberrant ability: Beginner Voice!
