Beast Tamer: The evolution path I made up has come true!

However, even Lu Junfeng and He Ya in the laboratory were no longer confident.

As professional laboratory technicians, they understand better than the average person the required clarity of a normal pharmaceutical solution.

Looking at the potion in Su Mo's hand, Lu Junfeng couldn't help but swallow hard and whispered, "Director Su, the quality of this potion... how about we purify it a little more?"

"If we drink it directly like this, what if it really causes an adverse reaction..."

However, before Su Mo could explain, Professor Sun suddenly interrupted, "Wait a minute!"

The next second, Professor Sun quickly moved closer to Su Mo, his eyes fixed on the test tube: "Xiao Su, this medicine... could you open it and let me smell it, and then pour out a little bit to feel it?"

"Of course, no problem."

Su Mo smiled and nodded, handing over the test tube.

Professor Sun carefully uncorked the test tube, first bringing it close to the mouth of the bottle, gently fanning it with his hand, and smelling the pleasant aroma emanating from the medicine.

Then, he poured a few drops of the medicine onto his fingertips, gently rubbed them together with his thumb, and felt the viscosity of the medicine.

After completing these actions, a glint of light suddenly flashed in Professor Sun's eyes.

"This is the wind-attribute affinity potion!"

Professor Sun turned to look at Su Mo, his voice trembling with excitement, and said, "The scent is mild and not pungent, and the texture is sticky and contains pure wind-elemental fluctuations."

"These turbid, flocculent substances are not impurities at all! They are element assimilation enzymes!"

At this moment, Professor Sun's voice trembled with excitement as he said, "First, let the green velvet worms absorb this assimilation enzyme and actively build an environment in their bodies that adapts to wind-attribute energy, thereby reducing the rejection reaction... Xiao Su, your thinking is absolutely brilliant!"

Upon hearing Professor Sun's explanation, Lu Junfeng and He Ya were stunned into silence, and the chat in the live stream also stopped.

Upon hearing this, Su Mo nodded in agreement.

As expected of a leading figure in academia, Professor Sun saw through the essence of the medicine at a glance.

The viewers in the live chat were just mocking the potion for being made by boiling Breeze Grass and Fluff together, but they were actually half right.

These flocculent precipitates at the bottom of the test tube are homologous enzymes extracted using the shed hairs of the velvet worms themselves.

Although this thing looks terrible, it's the best low-cost option for increasing wind attribute affinity.

Of course, if you are willing to spend a lot of money to purify and extract rare materials, you can indeed remove these flocculent substances, but isn't that expensive?

"Old Sun has a good eye."

Su Mo smiled faintly.

At this moment, although the viewers in the live broadcast room were stunned by Professor Sun's words, many people still did not buy it.

The rapidly scrolling barrage of comments was filled with skepticism such as "theory is not the same as practice" and "I will never believe it until I see the final result."

The insect-based researchers were even more insistent, determined to see the reaction of the green velvet worm after it ingested the food.

Su Mo glanced at the disbelieving comments, took the medicine back from Professor Sun, and said, "Perfect timing. Number 18's body stretching is almost complete. He can take the medicine and see the experimental results."

"Bring number eighteen over."

Upon hearing this, Lu Junfeng quickly reminded him, "Director Su, Number 18 just finished testing and is quite exhausted. Should we switch to a better-performing one from the backup experimental group?"

Su Mo shook his head and said, "Number 18 is one of the most complete elongated velvet worms, and its body segment coordination and energy tolerance have also reached the first stage standard."

"It is the most suitable sample."

More importantly, Number 18 just showed his physical data to the entire internet, proving he is an innocent velvet worm.

If we were to use a green velvet that has never been seen before, even if the experiment were to succeed, there would inevitably be critics who would question whether Su Mo had prepared a mutated green velvet with wind attributes in advance to cheat.

After hearing Su Mo's explanation, no one had any further objections.

As for making Qinglong the first experimental subject, not only Su Mo, but even Professor Sun was reluctant to do so.

Soon, He Ya brought over number eighteen.

Number 18, who had just finished the stretching test, lay limply in He Ya's palm, its two antennae drooping, looking somewhat listless.

But just as it approached the potion in Su Mo's hand, its body suddenly shuddered.

The scent of the fresh sap of the Breeze Grass and the element-assimil enzymes mixed in the potion is irresistibly attractive to the velvet worms.

The next second, No. 18's previously drooping antennae suddenly stood up, and its little head eagerly reached into the test tube.

"Vital signs are stable, muscle fatigue is within a safe range, and there is no damage to somatic nerves..."

Professor Sun quickly scanned the various test data, then turned to Lu Junfeng and He Ya and said, "Lu, He, quickly prepare the first aid measures."

After all the preparations were completed, Professor Sun said to Su Mo, "Xiao Su, we can proceed with the test."

However, upon hearing that Professor Sun didn't object but instead began to support the experiment, the doubts in the live stream intensified even further: "[Su Mo is gambling with Number 18's life for his own reputation!]"

[Are you crazy?! Number 18 just finished stretching, and now you're giving it a drug? It absolutely can't withstand the wind-attribute energy!]

I'm a graduate student in pharmacy, how come I didn't know about this assimilation enzyme?

[This is utterly outrageous! Once the wind energy goes berserk within him, let's see how Su Mo handles it!]

Even a blue worm's life matters!

Ignoring the barrage of negative comments, Su Mo walked to the testing table, picked up the dropper, drew a drop of medicine, and dripped it into the testing instrument next to him.

Not long after, the detector screen lit up, accompanied by a beeping sound.

The data bars representing the purity and activity of the wind attribute began to rise steadily before settling into a stable range. Clearly, the wind energy contained in the potion was not as violent as that of ordinary catalytic potions.

Looking at the incredible waveform on the screen, Lu Junfeng and He Ya couldn't help but exclaim, "Such stable wind attribute fluctuations!"

At this moment, everyone watching the live stream fell silent as they looked at the test data and the waveform on the screen.

Next, under everyone's watchful eyes, Su Mo handed the oral device to Number Eighteen's mouth.

Number 18, who had been craving the smell for a long time, gulped down the medicine in a few gulps and finished it off completely.

Chapter 83 Number 18 took flight!

As he swallowed the last drop of the medicine, Number Eighteen lay on the testing table, smacked his lips, and flicked his tentacles, as if savoring the taste of the potion.

Upon seeing this, everyone in the lab widened their eyes, and the viewers in the live stream stopped typing.

At this moment, countless eyes were waiting for the drug to take effect.

But as time ticked by, Number 18 remained completely still, and even yawned contentedly.

Seeing the situation with the 18th, the haters immediately breathed a sigh of relief and couldn't wait to flood the chat with sarcastic comments: "No reaction at all?"

Five days wasted, and that's it?

The moment the comments were posted, Number 18 made a move!

grumble!

Number 18 let out a soft chime, stretching out its slender body. A pale blue light gradually emerged, while wind-attribute energy, guided by the elemental assimilation enzyme, rapidly merged into its limbs and bones.

Under everyone's watchful eyes, the wind-attribute energy, following the green velvet's physiological instincts, began to converge towards its back.

Feeling the wind attribute filling her body, Number 18 arched her body, and blue light spots lit up near her neck on her back, showing a tendency to bulge outwards.

At this moment, the detector next to Professor Sun also detected the situation on the 18th, displaying on the screen: [High concentration of wind-type energy detected, converging in a directional manner!]

[Convergence point: The inherent channel on the back!]

[Warning: High activation reaction observed in the wing bud structure of the blue woolly worm!]

Upon seeing the detector's notification, the trolls in the live stream went wild, spamming the chat like sharks smelling blood: [I told you! Wind-attribute energy would definitely stimulate the wing buds!]

The wing buds have already begun to activate and swell; it will soon spin its cocoon ahead of schedule!

Su Mo's theory has completely backfired! So what if it's assimilation enzymes? So what if it's elongation training? It can't fundamentally change the evolutionary instinct of the velvet worm to spin a cocoon!

[Haha! Once the callus forms, all the stretching exercises you did before will be for nothing!]

As the light spots on Number 18's back grew brighter and brighter, Su Mo's fans were at a loss for words.

He Ya panicked and hurriedly asked Su Mo, "Director Su, all the wind attribute energy is rushing towards the wing buds! Should we stop the experiment?"

Lu Junfeng's hand was already on the button of the energy extraction device. With just one word from Su Mo, the energy absorption could be stopped immediately.

However, neither Su Mo nor Professor Sun showed any sign of panic.

At this moment, Su Mo spoke up: "Don't panic, the process of a green velvet worm spinning a cocoon and evolving into a green leaf moth is not like this."

"Before they spin their cocoons, they enter a period of fasting, their body hairs fall out, and they use their energy to spin silk. At the same time, their bodies will inevitably shrink and harden."

Su Mo gazed at Number 18, whose light was surging on the testing platform, and continued to explain: "But you see, Number 18's downy hair not only shows no signs of falling off, but is full of vitality. This is definitely not a sign of cocooning."

Hearing Su Mo's words, Professor Sun nodded in agreement and said, "That's right."

At this moment, Professor Sun added following Su Mo's words: "If it is a conventional cocooning evolution, the green velvet will draw a lot of its own life force in order to catalyze the spinning of silk. Its heart rate and cell activity will drop sharply, and its body will quickly enter a semi-dormant state."

"Even if we take a step back and assume that it really did cocoon prematurely due to the absorption of wind-attribute energy and the forced catalysis, the external energy would inevitably conflict with the body. The instruments should show signs of energy outburst or tissue damage warnings."

"But look at the data from the 18th."

"Although the wing buds are expanding, their heart rate and life energy have not decreased, but have remained within a safe range!"

Hearing Professor Sun's professional explanation, He Ya and Lu Junfeng finally felt relieved, but their eyes remained fixed on the testing table.

On the testing platform at this moment, the light spot on the back of No. 18 was still bright and dazzling.
