Chapter 453: Chapter 307: Su Ze the Supreme 3
"Strongest Punch" was the fusion of three skills to deliver a single, ultimate strike.
’Could it be that the Palm Bone Marvel can upgrade "Strongest Punch"?’
Su Ze felt it was highly likely.
"Strongest Punch" was currently a Tier 4 S-rank skill, and it was indeed one of the skills he needed to upgrade during his Supreme stage.
It was also his most powerful offensive skill at the moment.
Su Ze valued this skill immensely, but how was he supposed to absorb the Palm Bone Marvel?
He tried to use his Evolution Power and Spiritual Power to communicate with the Palm Bone Marvel, but to no effect.
After a moment of careful thought, Su Ze picked up the Palm Bone Marvel in one hand, infused it with Evolution Power, and simultaneously activated the abilities of its three fingers.
Instantly, the three fingers lit up with green, black, and yellow light, respectively.
Su Ze already knew the effects of the first two fingers. From the ring finger, which glowed yellow, he sensed the faint aura of a virus or plague. ’It seems to be a disease-type effect,’ he concluded.
He slowly reached his other hand toward the Palm Bone Marvel and activated "Strongest Punch." This time, however, he didn’t fuse his own skills into it. Instead, he attempted to draw out the energy from the three finger bones.
Before long, the light on the three finger bones began to flow, drawn in by Su Ze’s "Strongest Punch" skill.
’It’s working!’
Su Ze’s heart leaped with joy now that he had found the right method, but he suddenly pulled back, choosing not to absorb the Palm Bone Marvel’s energy.
Now that he had confirmed it would upgrade his "Strongest Punch" skill, he was in no rush to do so.
Although "Strongest Punch" was a powerful skill, its upper limit was determined by Su Ze’s other offensive skills.
He had never managed to push the skill’s power to its absolute limit.
The only skills of his that were suitable for fusing into "Strongest Punch" were "Needle Strike" and "Impact Cannon." As for including "Furious Waves," that was purely to make up the numbers.
As an area-of-effect skill, the single-target damage of "Furious Waves" wasn’t particularly high, and its control effects didn’t synergize well with "Strongest Punch."
As Su Ze’s trump card, "Strongest Punch" was meant for one thing: killing the enemy. When you could obliterate a foe with a single punch, what need was there for crowd control?
Thus, Su Ze hadn’t even maximized the potential of his current "Strongest Punch." He felt that even if he upgraded it again, the skill wouldn’t necessarily give him a significant power boost.
In contrast, the Palm Bone Marvel, a Tier 5 item from a human evolver, was a rare asset with diverse and powerful abilities.
If he were to absorb its energy to upgrade "Strongest Punch," the marvel itself would be destroyed.
The increase in combat power from upgrading "Strongest Punch" might not even compare to the value of the marvel itself.
So, after weighing his options, Su Ze decided to temporarily forgo upgrading "Strongest Punch."
As long as he had the Palm Bone Marvel, he could upgrade the skill at any time. There was no need to be hasty.
Next, he began to absorb the Silver-gray Energy.
He first took out the small silver ingot he had extracted in the Mystical Mushroom Forest and absorbed all of it into his body in one go.
The small silver ingot transformed into a large mass of Silver-gray Energy, which Su Ze rapidly absorbed.
It took almost no time for Su Ze to completely absorb the large mass of Silver-gray Energy.
This Silver-gray Energy was highly compatible with his physical body, making its absorption exceptionally fast.
Su Ze immediately felt his body change. First, his frame rapidly expanded, shooting up to nearly three meters tall.
He had to consciously control his size to return to his normal form.
His physical constitution had once again improved by leaps and bounds!
Feeling the immense power and a body now harder than Super Alloy, Su Ze couldn’t help but be secretly astonished.
’So strong!’
’What on earth is this Silver-gray Energy?’
’This quality of energy doesn’t seem like something that Tier 4 or 5 Mutated Fungi could possibly produce!’
’If Mutated Fungi can mass-produce this Silver-gray Energy, I’ll have Liou Wenxin start cultivating a batch of them as soon as I get back.’
’Perhaps the Pope used some special method to cultivate them, or maybe there’s something special about the Mutated Fungi in the Mystical Mushroom Forest?’
Su Ze didn’t dwell on it. It would be easy enough to verify. He’d know for sure once he found other Saint-level Mutated Fungi and killed one or two to test them.
’I absorbed just that tiny piece and my body was strengthened to this extent. If I absorb all of it, just how strong will I become...?’ Su Ze’s heart began to race as he took out the silver brick he had seized from the Archbishop of the Evolution Divine Teachings.
Looking at the silver brick, which was larger than his own hand, Su Ze suspected it had likely taken the Evolution Divine Teachings several years to accumulate. And now, it was all his.
To be on the safe side, he didn’t absorb it all at once this time. Instead, he first broke off a quarter of it.
Furthermore, to avoid any mishaps, he left the transport vehicle and flew up into the clouds.
Su Ze liquefied his arm, incorporating the quarter-brick into his body. Instantly, the silver brick dispersed, transforming into a massive flood of Silver-gray Energy that poured into him.
The Silver-gray Energy coursed through every inch of Su Ze’s body, integrating evenly into his entire being.
The next moment, his body expanded explosively once more!
The height he had just painstakingly suppressed shot back up to over three meters.
The increase in his physical constitution was even more astounding. His strength alone reached a terrifying level; he had never heard of anyone at the Supreme level possessing such physical might.
If they were to arm wrestle, he felt that even three Chen Suifengs combined might not be able to beat him.
After absorbing the Silver-gray Energy this time, Su Ze was suddenly hit with a feeling of being "full." It was as if his body had eaten its fill and could no longer accommodate any more Silver-gray Energy.
