116: All skills enhanced

Even after Su Yuan had left for a long time, he could still hear the terrifying low roars echoing from afar.

It seemed the Big Black Fish harbored deep resentment towards Su Yuan, and after this encounter, it would likely 'miss' Su Yuan even more.

"This Big Black Fish's defense is too high. My Claws couldn't even scratch it. It's truly exaggerated."

"Moreover, its growth rate is definitely not slow. Its body length has already reached over forty meters, and its strength is far superior to before."

"I've been advancing rapidly to this point because of the System. Did this Big Black Fish grow to this stage purely based on its own talent?"

Su Yuan was actually very shocked. He originally thought he could deal with the Big Black Fish this time, as his strength was much greater than when they last met.

Furthermore, he had the buff of the Snakehead Fish Killer, yet even with that, he couldn't do anything to the Big Black Fish.

This Big Black Fish was definitely one of the most talented creatures he had ever seen.

If the creatures from the Underground Dark Lake were excluded, then it was the most talented creature he had ever encountered!

He was cheating, after all. It seemed his cheat wasn't big enough yet.

Also, it was a good thing he had strengthened his Laser Beam today, otherwise, he would have lost the beam struggle just now.

Under camouflage, Su Yuan moved at a speed of over forty kilometers per hour, running all the way back to the river where he had been.

"Quickly farm evolution points, strengthen all my skills first, and then evolve! After evolving, I'll immediately go chase down the Big Black Fish!"

Su Yuan muttered to himself. This time, he was no longer limited to invasive species. His eight tentacles directly swept up Tilapia, Scavenger (Fish/Organism), Crayfish, river crabs from the riverbed, all the way to the Whitefish and Silver Carp on the surface.

This time, Su Yuan truly used all his might, going full throttle.

Because his current location was in the countryside, with no houses or people around, Su Yuan was able to devour without any restraint.

【You devoured a Tilapia and gained 1.2 evolution points.】

【You devoured a Scavenger (Fish/Organism) and gained 1.5 evolution points.】

【You devoured a Grass Carp and gained 10 evolution points.】

...Luolong City Health Center.

Five Security Officers lay in hospital beds, their eyes bandaged.

Captain Lin looked at the doctor beside him and asked softly, "Doctor, is there still hope for their eyesight to recover?"

"I can't guarantee that. They must have looked directly at a high-power Laser Beam. Their retinas are severely damaged. Even if they don't go blind, they will experience a severe decline in vision."

The doctor spoke truthfully, paused for a moment, and then left.

"Captain Lin, is that you?"

At this moment, several people on the beds spoke.

Captain Lin composed himself and said with a smile, "It's me. Old He, you all should rest well. When you're discharged, I'll treat you to a meal to get rid of the bad luck."

"Captain Lin, you don't need to comfort us. Before you came, the doctor already told us the situation."

He Haipeng said with a bitter smile, "Let me explain the situation. We first encountered the Big Black Fish from your notification. I estimate its body length to be at least forty meters."

"Not long after we escaped, we encountered another very large squid, or rather, an octopus. In short, it was a giant creature with tentacles."

"These two creatures started fighting, and we were caught in the crossfire."

A female Security Officer next to Captain Lin said, "Captain Lin, whether it's this Big Black Fish or this creature with tentacles, we have never found them in the surrounding rivers."

"Hmm, the Wildlife and Plant Administration Bureau should know about these two creatures. Send them the information."

"Also, tell the Bureau to apply for another batch of underwater cameras. Have everyone keep a close eye on things!"

Captain Lin said indifferently, a cold glint flashing in his eyes.

In just one day, the people sent out on patrol by their Public Security Bureau were either dead or disabled. If this grudge wasn't repaid, how could he face them?

...As the red sun set, a crescent moon rose from the dark Chaos, casting down its cool moonlight.

After the spiritual energy revived, the sky became clearer, and the moonlight shone on the river, reflecting a huge shadow.

Su Yuan was frantically devouring in the river. Besides ordinary prey, predators that once reigned supreme were also caught by Su Yuan and swallowed in one gulp.

At this moment, a giant Catfish, ten meters long, had half its body bitten off by Su Yuan, its blood staining the river red.

The next second, the remaining half of its body was also swallowed by Su Yuan.

【You devoured a Wels Catfish and gained 3000 evolution points.】

【evolution points: 121256 / 100000】 (Devouring spiritual energy is increasing)

"Holy cow, it's already 120,000 evolution points. Plus the 30,000 from before, I can farm 150,000 evolution points in a day now?"

Su Yuan was somewhat shocked.

But soon, he realized that the river here was already quite large, with a rich variety of creatures, and it was connected to lakes. He guessed it might also be connected to the Yangtze River.

Otherwise, the Big Black Fish, which had fled into the Yangtze River in the past, would not have appeared here.

These circumstances led to him farming 150,000 evolution points in one day.

If it were an ordinary river, it would be impossible.

"Now, the evolution points are enough for one upgrade. Level 35 should also unlock a new skill."

"However, skill strengthening is also very good. Besides, it's so late now, that Big Black Fish might not still be in the same spot."

"I've been chased by the Mysterious Organization. The Big Black Fish's movements are much larger than mine, so it should also have been chased by the Mysterious Organization. It's unlikely to stay in one place for too long."

Su Yuan pondered for a long time and decided to strengthen his skills first, work overtime tonight, and strive to upgrade and evolve tonight.

After making his decision, Su Yuan washed his face, and as usual, sculpted nine statues of what he considered to be nine Dragons. He directly selected the passive skill Survival of the Fittest and clicked strengthen.

Immediately, the system panel glowed with dazzling light.

As the light gradually dimmed, a line of text appeared.

【Congratulations, Host, Survival of the Fittest has been successfully strengthened. It is currently Survival of the Fittest + 1.】

"It succeeded?"

Su Yuan was somewhat incredulous. Given the little system's usual behavior, would it actually let him succeed on the first try?

Moreover, there was no message in his mind.

No, he seemed to be able to feel the presence of spiritual energy, the changes in the water flow, etc., much more clearly now.

"Now, I should be able to survive longer on land."

Su Yuan murmured to himself, then looked at the Swift Travel skill.

In all martial arts, speed is paramount!

"little system, come out for your father!"

Su Yuan shouted, and clicked strengthen.

【Skill strengthening failed!】

"Damn it, this System of yours definitely has intelligence!"

Su Yuan was dumbfounded. He had just succeeded in one go, and now after his outburst, it directly failed him.

Fine, you're ruthless!

"System daddy, come out for your son!"

Su Yuan no longer prayed to all the Heavenly Gods and directly called the System daddy.

As the dazzling light lit up, then dimmed again.

【Congratulations, Host, Swift Travel has been successfully strengthened. It is currently Swift Travel + 1.】

【Swift Travel + 1: Your speed has increased by 10% from before.】

"Oh my goodness, you really do have intelligence, don't you?"

Su Yuan's face was covered in black lines.

Afterward, he continued to strengthen, shouting for System daddy to bless him, and clicked on Black Light Shield.

The system panel was adorned with dazzling colors, making Su Yuan feel a certain way in his heart. This time, it would succeed.

Indeed!

【Congratulations, Host, Black Light Shield has been successfully strengthened. It is currently Black Light Shield + 1.】

【Black Light Shield + 1: The sturdiness of your shield has increased by 10% from before.】

"It seems I've figured out the secret to strengthening."

Su Yuan grinned widely.

He looked at the last unstrengthened skill, Mind Whisper (Special Edition), and shouted, "System daddy, bless your son!"

As Su Yuan shouted, the system panel was enveloped in dazzling colorful light, very splendid.

Su Yuan confidently looked at the system panel, ready to welcome the strengthening of the last skill.

But a line of text made him dumbfounded again.

【Skill strengthening failed!】

"What the hell! What's going on? Calling you daddy isn't enough anymore? Or was it all just a coincidence?"

Su Yuan was puzzled, but without thinking too much, he shouted, "System grandpa, bless your grandson!"

Because of the large number of evolution points on the panel, Su Yuan felt confident and stared at the system panel.

As the colorful light gradually dimmed.

【Congratulations, Host, Mind Whisper (Special Edition) has been successfully strengthened. It is currently Mind Whisper (Special Edition) + 1.】

【Mind Whisper (Special Edition) + 1: Your mental influence on other living beings is more profound.】
