I am the Clone of a Death Row Inmate-Chapter 60: Skill Upgrade

Mr. Ya hesitated upon hearing Su Ze’s words.

Of course, he understood what Su Ze meant. He was being told to end his stream and leave.

But his stream was incredibly popular at the moment. A battle between Saint-level experts was a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity. If he missed it, who knew when he would find such great content for his stream again.

Mr. Ya was reluctant.

Su Ze cleared his throat and said, "Mr. Ya, I forgot to tell you, I’m only seventeen. I’m still a minor. According to the law, any online purchases made by a minor can be refunded..."

"Let’s go get something to eat, Big Bro!" Mr. Ya slapped his chest, which echoed with a THWACK. "It’s on your little bro today!"

Before leaving, Mr. Ya fixed his phone to a stand, adjusted the angle, and let it continue streaming by itself.

"Bros, I’m off to get a bite with Big Bro. You guys keep watching on your own for now."

He still couldn’t give up the stream’s popularity, so he planned to leave the phone to continue broadcasting. At worst, he’d just lose the equipment, which wasn’t worth much anyway.

"Where are we eating, Big Bro?"

"Let’s just go to Mengka City. Pick any place you like; you lead the way."

"Alright!"

Mr. Ya grabbed Su Ze, and a layer of orange evolutionary light enveloped Su Ze. In the next instant, the two of them tunneled into the soil of the mountain, moving at an incredible speed.

Su Ze felt as if he had become part of the soil itself, everything around him rushing backward. When he came to his senses, he found that he had already left the mountain’s interior and was now at its foot.

The long-awaited sunlight shone on his face. As he breathed in air free of the smell of dirt, Su Ze couldn’t help but marvel at how amazing the Earth Escape Skill was.

Although this Earth Escape Skill couldn’t compare to Feng Bqing’s "Shadow Escape," it was definitely a god-tier escape skill.

However, Su Ze guessed this wasn’t Mr. Ya’s ace-in-the-hole escape skill. This skill alone wouldn’t be enough to guarantee survival against a Saint-level overlord.

Mr. Ya was panting heavily, his face slightly pale. Clearly, bringing someone along for such a long tunnel was not easy for him.

"Big Bro, let me rest for a bit. Then we’ll tunnel directly into the urban district."

"Okay." Su Ze nodded. It would be best if they could tunnel directly into the city, so they could avoid running into the Lion Army and the Zhao Family.

Su Ze had been crawling through the tunnels for a long time and was quite exhausted himself, so the two of them closed their eyes and rested against a large tree.

A short while later, Su Ze suddenly opened his eyes, a flicker of pleasant surprise on his face.

The half-bowl of Tree Marrow he had drunk was now finally digested, and all the life energy it produced had been absorbed by the "Regeneration Core" in his brain.

After absorbing so much high-level life energy, the Regeneration Core seemed to have undergone some new changes.

Before, the Regeneration Core was merely a life-saving trump card that didn’t do much on a daily basis. But now, as it floated in Su Ze’s mind, it continuously emitted wisps of life energy, nourishing his body.

Su Ze could feel his depleted stamina rapidly recovering.

The Regeneration Core could now restore stamina.

But Su Ze felt that wasn’t all.

The skills that evolvers possessed were etched into their very genes. They were a part of the body, like an instinct. He just had to carefully sense it to understand the effects and functions of each skill.

The Regeneration Core was also a part of the Regeneration Body skill.

As Su Ze carefully sensed and comprehended it, he immediately understood the skill’s effects.

It seemed his Regeneration Body skill, by some stroke of luck, had just upgraded.

The upgraded Regeneration Body skill now created a Regeneration Core that had the effect of continuously restoring his stamina, Spiritual Power, and evolutionary power, and the recovery speed was quite decent.

In addition, in terms of healing, the Self-Healing Ability that his Regeneration Body granted him could now not only heal physical injuries but also spiritual ones.

Simply put, his previous Regeneration Skill could only restore his HP. Now, it restored his HP and his MP, and could even restore his Sanity.

This was a truly pleasant surprise!

Su Ze had originally thought that drinking so much Tree Marrow had been useless for him, but he never expected it would actually prompt his Regeneration Skill to upgrade again.

It wasn’t just the first time he had encountered such a situation; it was the first time he had even heard of one.

Besides, the Regeneration Skill was already an S-rank skill. After upgrading again, what rank would it be? Beyond S-rank?

Including the Divine Grace of Evolution, he now had two skills that surpassed S-rank.

Of course, as strong as the upgraded Regeneration Skill was, it still couldn’t compare to the Divine Grace of Evolution.

Su Ze decided to ask Liou Wenxin about this skill upgrade when he had the chance. He could always get an answer from her regarding any questions about the science of evolution.

This trip into the mountains had been a last resort; Su Ze had been forced into it by Zhang Fantie. He never expected to be unintentionally drawn into such a high-level incident, making a round right under the noses of a group of Saint-level powerhouses.

Looking back on it now, it had been incredibly perilous.

If it weren’t for "Qiangzi," he would have been dead long ago.

Fortunately, he was finally safe, at least for the time being.

And upon taking stock, Su Ze realized his gains from this trip were not small; he might even have been the biggest beneficiary.

His own Regeneration Skill had completed an evolution, he had obtained a vial of a fourth-tier extract of unknown grade, and he still had a few drops of Tree Marrow stored in his small medicine bottle.

However, this trip to the Black Rock Mountain Range had also resulted in Liou Wenxin and Mrs. Yun falling into the hands of Amida.

Su Ze wasn’t worried about their safety. With Liou Wenxin’s expertise in the science of evolution, she would receive preferential treatment no matter which faction held her.

But they would surely lose their freedom, and returning to the Dongli Kingdom would be even more difficult.

At this thought, Su Ze took out his phone and checked his call history and messages.

Neither Liou Wenxin nor Mrs. Yun had called or sent him a message, which suggested their communications were likely being restricted.

Su Ze rubbed his temples. Liou Wenxin and Mrs. Yun had fallen into Amida’s hands entirely because of him.

He couldn’t just let this go.

He might not be able to repay a drop of kindness with a gushing spring, but Su Ze knew he had to at least acknowledge who had been genuinely good to him and maintain a clear conscience.

In the time they had spent together, Liou Wenxin and Mrs. Yun had been unbelievably good to him. They had gifted him an Undying Salamander extract worth over a hundred million, arranged for his legal identity in the Dongli Kingdom, taught him the Swan Dance, and shared a great deal of knowledge about evolution with him. When he was being hunted by the Zhao Family and the Lion Army, they hadn’t abandoned him, but had accompanied him into danger.

’That’s my sister on the household registry, and the woman I consider my own mother...’

’I have to find a way to help them escape!’

Su Ze stood up and began to pace back and forth around the large tree.

He always liked to pace like this whenever he was deep in thought.

The last time he had racked his brain this hard was when he was in Pan Shi Prison, thinking up a plan to break out.

After thinking for a long time, Su Ze still couldn’t come up with a good plan, but he was certain he couldn’t save Liou Wenxin and Mrs. Yun on his own.

’I still need to borrow some strength.’

’Whose strength should I borrow?’

Su Ze glanced at Mr. Ya beside him, and his look sent a chill down the man’s spine.
