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

As everyone could see, after the potion entered Number Eighteen's body, the massive wind-attribute energy followed the racial structure of the Green Velvet Worm and immediately surged towards the wing buds on its back.

This step is an inevitable reaction, and no external force can prevent it.

But today's number 18 is no longer the small, round, closed-segmented common green worm.

Its body was stretched to more than twice its original length, and its fur and torso were also gradually stretched during special training.

Just as the wing buds could no longer withstand the enormous wind energy and were about to burst outwards.

hum!

Suddenly, the downy hairs on Number 18's body surface glowed with a bright green light.

At this moment, the element-assimil enzymes extracted from shed hairs in the potion underwent a deep fusion with Number Eighteen's racial structure!

A series of pale blue rays of light started from the roots of the hairs and quickly extended into the body.

In the blink of an eye, a dense and vast new energy network was formed between the downy hair and slender segments all over Number 18's body.

The wind-attribute energy that was originally flowing towards the wing buds, like a flood finding countless outlets, flowed along the veins to every muscle, every hair, and every abdominal foot of Number Eighteen.

At this moment, the wing buds on the back of number eighteen also calmed down and turned back into shriveled, tiny protrusions.

[The energy concentration in the wing buds continues to decline!]

[Wind-attribute energy begins to flow throughout the body's joints!]

The wind-attribute energy that should have gathered at the wing buds, causing No. 18 to form a cocoon, was actually guided to the whole body!

Seeing the current situation of Number 18, the barrage of comments that were just shouting suddenly disappeared, and Su Mo's supporters breathed a sigh of relief.

However, they didn't rush to send sarcastic comments like the haters.

Who knows if other unexpected events will occur later, leading to a slap in the face?

"grumble!"

At this moment, Number 18 let out another long cry, this time with a feeling of breaking free from constraints and a sense of liberation, like being reborn.

The next second, Number 18's tense body suddenly stretched outward, and the downy fur all over his body shimmered with a crystalline blue light. Wisps of breeze intertwined around him, turning into a light, gauze-like flow of air.

As this airflow took shape, a gentle breeze rippled through the laboratory.

Immediately afterwards, under the gaze of millions of eyes across the internet, Number 18's body gradually floated up from the testing platform.

One centimeter, three centimeters, ten centimeters!

Number 18's body was lifted up by the airflow, like a green ribbon fluttering in the wind.

At this moment, without any metamorphosis or the intervention of any external equipment, Number 18, relying on its affinity for wind-attribute energy, learned the [Float] skill that no other Green Velvet Worm had ever learned!

Upon seeing this, Lu Junfeng and He Ya were stunned.

Professor Sun trembled all over, his eyes turning red with excitement!

Chapter 84 Reward for Converting the Fake into the Real

Just as Professor Sun reached out his palm to touch Number 18, Su Mo scanned Number 18 with the detector.

As the blue light shone on Number 18, several messages appeared on the screen of the detector.

[Experimental Sample: Blue Velvet Worm No. 18]

[Current Wind affinity index: 45%, surpassing the known historical value for Meowth!]

[Wind attribute energy distribution: downy hairs: 31.4%, body segments and muscles: 56.7%, dorsal wing buds: 1.9%]

[Learn a new skill: Levitation]

Looking at the data on the screen, those who had previously confidently claimed that Number 18 would form a cocoon on the spot, or even explode due to excessive wind attribute, rubbed their eyes in disbelief, and even opened their mouths wide, unable to close them for a long time.

However, while everyone was stunned by what they saw, Number 18, the insect involved, was clearly not prepared.

As a green velvet that can only crawl on the ground, the sudden feeling of weightlessness made it panic instantly.

"grumble!"

Number 18 let out a panicked cry, and his previously stretched-out body instinctively curled up abruptly.

This contraction caused the airflow that was supporting it to dissipate instantly, and it crashed directly onto the test platform.

"Number 18!"

Upon seeing the situation, Lu Junfeng and He Ya's expressions changed drastically, and they quickly stepped forward.

After all, this is currently the only Meowth that has successfully increased its wind affinity through stretching training.

If anything were to happen to it, it would be a huge loss to this experiment.

Moreover, as assistant researchers on this project, they will be able to leave their names on the research findings once Su Mo's theory is proven.

It can be said that, in this laboratory, the two of them, besides Su Mo, were the people who most hoped for the success of this experiment.

Before Lu Junfeng and He Ya could check his injuries, Number 18, who had fallen onto the testing table, shook his head and raised it again.

As if reliving the feeling from just now, Number 18's tentacles were trembling excitedly, and it was still trying to reactivate its wind attribute power.

As No. 18 continued to mobilize its wind-attribute power, the airflow gathered around it again.

Under everyone's watchful eyes, Number 18 wobbled and rose into the air again, but it only lasted for two or three seconds. The blue light on its body flickered as if it had run out of steam, and Number 18 fell back onto the platform.

Feeling the pain in his body, Number 18 was clearly unconvinced and got up to try levitation again.

After several attempts, it could only maintain a brief hover for one or two seconds each time before falling onto the test platform.

Seeing this, Lu Junfeng asked Su Mo anxiously, "Director Su, what's going on? Did something go wrong with the assimilation process of Number 18?"

"Don't be nervous, this is normal."

Su Mo looked at Number 18, who kept trying despite repeated failures on the table, and explained, "Assimilation and rejection are not things that can be done overnight. If you want to completely increase the wind attribute affinity of the Green Velvet Worm without prematurely evolving, the whole process requires taking the potion three times."

"It has only taken it once so far, and its internal meridians are still very weak. The amount of wind-attribute energy it can store is also very limited, so it can only maintain a brief suspension for a few seconds."

Hearing Su Mo's explanation, everyone in the lab breathed a sigh of relief, and Professor Sun nodded in satisfaction, his gaze toward Su Mo growing increasingly ardent.

As Su Mo finished speaking, the live stream chat exploded with comments.

[It worked! Holy crap! It really worked!]

[Over 40% wind affinity! And it's even learned the Levitate skill?! Is this really the kind of stats a Velkhana should have?!]

[With the blessing of wind attribute, Number 18 did not form a cocoon! Moreover, the wing buds on its back only had 1.9% energy! A miracle, this is simply an academic miracle!]

[Su Shen is awesome!]

[Where are those experts who were just jumping up and down saying that calluses would definitely form on the 18th? Come out and say something! Don't you feel ashamed?!]

[Still dare to say Director Su abuses pets? Open your dog eyes and look, Number 18 is practically floating in the sky now!]

As the number 18 hovered in mid-air, the popularity of the live stream skyrocketed at a visible speed.

The scholars who had previously spoken so confidently seemed to have collectively gone offline, either disappearing or quietly deleting their previous pessimistic posts.

All the overwhelming doubts and ridicule crumbled the moment Number 18 left the table.

While the entire live stream was in an uproar because of this miraculous scene, Su Mo's attention was on the system panel in front of him.

[A large-scale, dramatic shift in cognition has been detected.]

[Awareness has been greatly improved.]

The concept that "melon worms can carry wind-related energy through their elongated structure" has gained widespread acceptance.

[Progress in transforming the fake into the real: 29.8%...30.9%...35.7%...40.9%!]

[Congratulations, host, on reaching this cognitive milestone.]

The phase rules are beginning to solidify.

[The Green Velvet's racial adaptability potential for the Wind attribute has been initially revised.]

From now on, newly born Green Velvets will have a very low probability of naturally awakening a high wind attribute affinity.

[Due to special environmental conditions, training, or wind resources, this probability will increase significantly.]

Looking at the last few lines of prompts, a glint of light flashed in Su Mo's eyes.

He originally thought the reward would be some kind of material or blueprint, but he didn't expect that the reward would actually strengthen the "wind attribute potential of the green velvet worm", so that from this moment on, even without taking the potion, green velvet worm individuals with extremely high wind attribute affinity can be born naturally in the future.

As soon as Su Mo had a thought, the system panel in front of him quietly disappeared, and the live stream also ended.

At this moment, on the testing platform, Number 18 finally exhausted all its strength and stopped trying to float. The whole insect lay limply on the testing platform.

However, its treatment now is vastly different from before.

"Oh dear, my little darling, don't move around too much, go and rest well!"

After confirming that the live stream was off, He Ya and Lu Junfeng practically pounced on it, carefully picked up No. 18, and quickly transferred it to the nearby constant temperature recovery chamber.

After all, this is the only living specimen that has broken the ironclad rules of the biological world!

Even if Su Mo's theory fails, as the first witnesses and participants, their names will be remembered in history along with this project.

Watching the two of them eagerly feeding Number 18 the nutrient solution, Su Mo couldn't help but shake his head and chuckle.

Meanwhile, Professor Sun, who had been trembling with excitement, gradually calmed down.
