Regenerative Body

Su Ze had already learned about the Immortal Salamander extract.

Immortal Salamander Extract

Grade: Tier 2 S-grade

Usable Skills: Poison Skin, Giant Tail Strike, Regenerative Body

There were three skills that could be obtained from the Immortal Salamander extract.

Among them, the "Poison Skin" skill coats the body's skin with potent venom. The Immortal Salamander's venom evolved from tetrodotoxin, causing poisoning upon contact. It is highly toxic, gradually paralyzing the victim until death.

"Giant Tail Strike" is a powerful attack skill. Its effect can be understood from its name. However, since humans do not have tails, their legs are used to simulate a tail for attacks when using this skill.

As for the "Regenerative Body" skill, it was Su Ze's dream skill and the reason why the Immortal Salamander was ranked S-grade. It could be considered the most "cheaty" skill among Tier 2 Exotic Beast skills.

Regenerative Body: Grants the physical body powerful regenerative abilities, allowing rapid recovery from any physical injury. It can also condense a "Regeneration Core" anywhere within the body. When the Regeneration Core shatters, the life energy contained within instantly heals all injuries throughout the body.

Simply put, the Regenerative Body skill can be understood as having two effects: "passive" and "active."

The passive effect enhances the body's self-healing capabilities. No matter how severe the injury, as long as the person is not dead, they can recover. Even severed limbs can grow back.

The active effect allows for the condensation of a "Regeneration Core" filled with immense life energy anywhere in the body. Once the location of the Regeneration Core is determined, it cannot be moved unless it shatters, after which a new one can be condensed.

Once the Regeneration Core shatters, the surging life energy instantly heals all injuries throughout the body. It can be shattered intentionally or shattered passively by an attack.

However, once the Regeneration Core shatters, it takes a significant amount of time to condense a new one, meaning this skill has a very long cooldown.

It's no exaggeration to say that possessing this skill is equivalent to having an extra life.

It could be seen that while both were S-grade skills, Tier 2 S-grade skills were clearly superior to the Tier 1 S-grade skills Su Ze already possessed.

Although Su Ze was very envious of this skill, he wasn't sure if he would definitely be able to obtain it.

He just didn't know if he would be able to freely choose his skills this time.

If not, then he would have to rely on luck, randomly choosing one out of the three skills.

He preferred multiple-choice questions to lucky draws.

Compared to absorbing the extract across tiers last time, the process of absorbing this extract was much simpler, with no unexpected events. The absorption was completed without any danger or mishap.

Su Ze felt the last trace of Evolution Substance from the Immortal Salamander extract being absorbed into his body. He held anticipation in his heart, and then a familiar sensation surged again as his consciousness entered a blank world.

It was exactly the same as when he absorbed the Rock Scorpion extract last time!

This meant he could choose skills again.

And it was highly probable that this ability would accompany him from now on, allowing him to freely choose skills every time he absorbed an extract in the future.

Su Ze was overjoyed. The utility of this ability was no less than the Divine Grace of Evolution, and when combined with the Divine Grace of Evolution, it was simply monstrous!

He reined in his thoughts, focusing his attention on the three balls of orange mist in the blank world.

These three balls of orange mist were much larger than the mist balls he had seen when absorbing the Rock Scorpion extract, and their color was deeper, with the orange light of evolution appearing almost tangible.

From the largest ball of orange mist, Su Ze felt a surge of vitality. Without a doubt, this mist ball represented the "Regenerative Body" skill.

There was no need to hesitate. Su Ze plunged into the mist, and in the next instant, his consciousness returned to his body, and he slowly opened his eyes.

"How was it?" Liu Wenyin asked with concern. She could tell that Su Ze had successfully absorbed the extract and was now asking which skill he had obtained.

"My luck was good, I got the Regenerative Body skill." Su Ze grinned, unable to hide his joy.

He could feel every cell in his body brimming with surging life force!

"Really?!" Liu Wenyin exclaimed, then a smile spread across her face, genuinely happy for Su Ze.

"Mhm!" Su Ze nodded and asked, "Sister, this skill requires condensing a Regeneration Core within the body. Where is a good place to put it?"

Liu Wenyin brushed a strand of hair away from her ear and thought for a moment, as if accessing a vast database of knowledge in her mind.

After a moment, she replied, "This actually has its nuances. The physical structures of humans and Immortal Salamanders are different. An Immortal Salamander can survive even if its head is severed or its heart is ruptured. However, even for human Evolvers who obtain the Regenerative Body skill, these two areas remain vital points."

Su Ze had also guessed this and nodded, "Meaning, if my heart ruptures or my head is crushed, I'll die instantly."

"Yes. Although you can intentionally shatter the Regeneration Core, sometimes danger comes too quickly for you to react. For example, if an enemy directly shatters your head, you die immediately and have no chance to shatter the Regeneration Core."

"Therefore, I suggest you condense the Regeneration Core in your brain or heart... no, the brain is better than the heart."

Su Ze understood Liu Wenyin's meaning. If he placed the Regeneration Core in his brain, even if the brain was shattered, the Regeneration Core within the brain would also shatter. He wouldn't need to shatter it himself, effectively triggering the skill passively.

This way, even if he was caught off guard and his head was blown off, he could still revive once.

The same logic applied if it were placed in his heart.

But why was the brain a better choice than the heart?

Su Ze voiced his confusion.

Liu Wenyin replied, "Because the brain is more important than the heart. If your head is shattered, you immediately lose consciousness. If your heart is shattered, you might still retain consciousness for a brief moment, and during that time, you can still intentionally shatter the Regeneration Core."

"Also, think about it. If you were beheaded, your remaining consciousness could shatter the Regeneration Core in your brain, helping you reconstruct the body below your neck, allowing you to live. But if the Regeneration Core was in your heart, you would die immediately once your head was gone."

Su Ze found Liu Wenyin's reasoning very sound. He was a receptive person and immediately decided to condense the Regeneration Core in his brain.

At Su Ze's current pace, condensing a Regeneration Core would take about a month. However, having just absorbed the Immortal Salamander extract, which contained a lot of vitality and undigested energy, it could directly help him condense a Regeneration Core.

A moment later, a fingernail-sized core, composed purely of life force and pure white, appeared in Su Ze's brain. This Regeneration Core existed between the tangible and intangible, causing no interference to Su Ze's brain. He felt it carefully and experienced no discomfort.

Instead, with the Regeneration Core present, he felt a sense of security deep within.
