114: Goodbye Big Black Fish

Su Yuan selected Laser Beam, and a line of text description appeared.

"Laser Beam: Enhancement +2, success rate 70%. Enhancement requires 20,000 evolution points. If successful, skill power and range each increase by 10% for the same consumption. If enhancement fails, the skill remains."

Su Yuan examined it carefully, confirming that the increased attributes were added on top of the +1 base.

In other words, skill +2 would increase by an additional ten percent of the base, on top of the original skill's 1.1 times.

However, the evolution points had increased, and the success rate had dropped to only seventy percent.

Su Yuan's initial feeling had come true.

This skill enhancement was truly a bottomless pit! Even more of a pit than Kelly!

Su Yuan checked his evolution points.

"evolution points: 15176 / 100000" (Increasing by devouring psionic energy)

"Not enough evolution points, so I'll choose Fire Dragon Technique."

Su Yuan looked through each skill. He felt his current speed was pretty good and not the most urgent skill to enhance.

As for Mind Whisper, this skill was too special. Especially since creatures he had used Mind Whisper on had their temperaments drastically changed, becoming like zombies, which made him a bit wary.

But at the same time, this skill seemed capable of creating Awakened Ones, which greatly interested him.

However, currently, he felt that his own strength was the most important. The matter of researching Awakened Ones could wait until all his attack skills were enhanced.

The Survival of the Fittest skill was also sufficient for now.

And Black Light Shield, Su Yuan hadn't considered it at all.

He had always believed that the best defense was offense.

As Su Yuan made up his mind and clicked enhance, the system panel glowed brilliantly.

This time, Su Yuan didn't close his eyes. He stared directly at the panel and roared, "Give it to me!"

"Skill enhancement failed!"

"I %# $..."

Su Yuan was so angry he cursed.

He had already spent 100,000 evolution points, and the failure rate for this enhancement was so high!

Only one success out of three attempts!

"No, I need to quickly farm evolution points, otherwise I'm afraid this failure will have been for nothing."

Su Yuan swam up from the nine Dragon encirclements, all eight tentacles deployed, sweeping in all directions, grabbing Suckerfish and Tilapia.

Su Yuan's abyssal mouth never closed. It stayed open, and the eight tentacles continuously threw food into it without pause.

"You devoured a Tilapia and gained 1.1 evolution points."

"You devoured a Suckerfish and gained 1.3 evolution points."

... The fish scattered and fled. Su Yuan pursued and devoured them all the way.

Suddenly, the riverbed mud around him bulged, and a metal plate armor emerged from the riverbed mud.

"No, these are fins."

Su Yuan stared intently. The commotion around him grew even larger, and the mud muddied the river water.

However, a huge silhouette in the river was already faintly visible.

"Suckerfish?"

Su Yuan was a little surprised. The Suckerfish in front of him was exaggeratedly large, the biggest Suckerfish he had ever seen, easily over ten meters long.

Needless to say, an individual of such vastly different size from its kin was either a super Genius or had consumed some Heaven And Earth Treasure.

This Suckerfish was entirely black, exuding a metallic luster. It looked like its defense was definitely not low, like a small submarine.

It seemed to have sensed the approach of a large creature and only then awakened for its territory.

The Giant Suckerfish opened its mouth, revealing a mouthful of sharp teeth, and looked at Su Yuan, seemingly wanting Su Yuan to retreat.

"A mere trash fish, daring to be arrogant."

Su Yuan smiled. He was just anxious for evolution points, and a Big Black Fish actively delivered itself to his doorstep, so he would gladly accept.

One of Su Yuan's tentacles shot out directly, astonishingly fast, instantly coiling around this Suckerfish, and a terrifying force erupted.

The Giant Suckerfish's steel-like body instantly twisted and deformed.

This dominant creature of the area had no power to resist in Su Yuan's hands.

Su Yuan opened his big mouth, and while it was still alive, he bit down, directly biting off more than half of its body!

In just two bites, this Giant Suckerfish was completely eaten by Su Yuan.

"You devoured a Suckerfish and gained 10,000 evolution points."

"Not bad, 10,000 evolution points. I can enhance a skill once."

Su Yuan nodded. By now, all the creatures around had long since fled.

Su Yuan simply decided to enhance it directly.

Still following the process, he washed his face and arranged nine Dragon-shaped statues, or rather, mud-plastered steles.

"Very good, give it to me!"

Su Yuan roared, clicking to enhance Fire Dragon Technique!

The panel displayed dazzling colors.

Su Yuan had already closed his eyes, turning off the system panel.

Two minutes later, he opened his eyes and summoned the system panel.

"Hahaha! It succeeded!"

Su Yuan looked at the "Enhancement Successful" displayed on the panel, and new information appeared in his mind, a wide smile spreading across his face.

The +1 enhancement of Laser Beam and Fire Dragon Technique had significantly boosted his strength.

A 10% increase was not small for his current stage.

If he had this enhancement during his battle with the Tiger King earlier, Fire Dragon Technique could have crushed its golden flames.

"Next, I will continue to hunt and devour, and enhance all the skills I have once."

Su Yuan nodded to himself, confirming his next plan.

"Now, continue hunting!"

Su Yuan chose a direction and rushed over, devouring all the way.

"Swoosh!"

A Reeves Shad spotted Su Yuan and instantly left at an extremely fast speed.

Su Yuan did not pursue, as there was already plenty of food around.

He continued to hunt while moving, devouring Suckerfish and Tilapia along the way.

Suddenly, he felt the area ahead open up, and the stone walls on both banks disappeared.

He observed with Elementary perception, determining that the width here was at least several hundred meters, probably around a thousand meters.

Not only that, the water depth also reached about twenty to thirty meters.

Such a large body of water was no longer a river.

"This is a lake... This smell, it's him!"

Su Yuan muttered to himself, his eyes suddenly changing as he sensed the aura of an old acquaintance.

He immediately entered a disguised state, no longer bothering with hunting and devouring, and quickly swam in the lake.

He wanted to confirm the opponent's strength.

If he was stronger, then he would deal with this enemy early!

This lake was not large, just a small lake, about ten thousand meters long and an estimated hundred meters wide.

At Su Yuan's speed, after swimming with full effort for a few minutes, he found his target.

Several hundred meters ahead, a Security patrol boat was speeding towards them at over sixty kilometers per hour.

Behind them, a huge creature was pursuing them.

There were a total of five Security Officers on the patrol boat, their expressions tense as they communicated with the bureau.

"This fish is very powerful; even a cannon couldn't kill it. We have no chance of winning, just run!"

"Hurry! Head straight for the shore, don't stop the engine. Getting injured is better than being eaten by the fish!"

The Security Officers shouted anxiously at the Giant Black Fish tightly biting at their rear.

"Huh? Why did it stop?"

At this moment, they noticed the Giant Black Fish suddenly slowed down and stopped.

"Holy crap! There's a monster ahead too! I can only turn. Hold on tight!"

The Security Officer driving the patrol boat saw Su Yuan in the lake ahead, his face changed, and he immediately made a ninety-degree sharp turn, almost throwing the people in the back overboard.

The Giant Black Fish also seemed to recognize Su Yuan, its gaze extremely cold. Its forty-meter-long body, like the most terrifying prehistoric monster, rushed over.

"Good timing!"

Su Yuan sneered. This time, facing this Big Black Fish, he no longer had that feeling of trepidation he once had.

Su Yuan rushed over at his usual maximum speed, no slower than the Big Black Fish's burst speed.

The moment they approached each other, four of Su Yuan's eight tentacles rose, erupting with terrifying power, like four ancient battle whips lashing out at the Big Black Fish's head.

"Boom!"

The two collided head-on, and the entire lake water exploded, waves surging dozens of meters high into the sky!

The patrol boat, which had just dodged the collision between Su Yuan and the Big Black Fish, was swept by the huge waves before it could get far.

"Hold on tight!"

The five Security Officers were horrified, clinging tightly together. As the huge wave hit, the entire patrol boat flipped over.

Fortunately, all of them could swim and were good in the water. They swam out from under the patrol boat, surfaced, and gasped for air.

But the next moment, their faces were filled with terror.

Just dozens of meters in front of them, two monstrously huge beasts were locked in battle, and ten-meter-high waves were sweeping towards them again!
