Chapter 330: Chapter 274: Foreign Object in the Soul

With the help of this peculiar energy, Su Ze successfully mastered how to fuse his evolutionary power with his Spiritual Power. The remaining energy, as if its mission was complete, then split in two. Half of it merged into Su Ze’s body, while the other half merged into his spirit.

This peculiar energy began strengthening Su Ze’s body, causing his physical constitution to improve at a considerable rate.

But Su Ze was in no mood to focus on his physical improvement. At this moment, his consciousness seemed to have entered another world. He "saw" another him.

A completely transparent version of himself!

’This is my spiritual body... what people call a soul,’ Su Ze realized.

A spiritual body is inherently formless and cannot be "seen." However, the peculiar energy remaining from the Eye of Insight had allowed him to perceive his own soul.

Right then, the peculiar energy that had merged with his spirit was being consumed at a rapid rate, and Su Ze’s Spiritual Power was steadily increasing...

He took the opportunity to carefully examine his soul, but he was at a loss for words to describe the formless entity.

’What is this...?’ He had suddenly discovered a foreign object within his soul!

It was an extremely tiny, rice-grain-shaped object that seemed to be completely fused with his soul.

Like his soul, the foreign object was inherently formless. Had the peculiar energy not given him this chance to observe his own soul, he would have never discovered it!

Su Ze was attuned to his own soul, and he was certain that this foreign object was not a part of it.

Just as he was about to inspect it further, the peculiar energy that had merged with his spirit ran out, and Su Ze’s consciousness snapped back into his body.

’What was that thing!’

Su Ze’s expression turned grave. He took this matter extremely seriously.

A foreign object in one’s soul was by no means normal. It was something he absolutely could not ignore.

He closed his eyes, trying to re-enter that state, but it was impossible now that the peculiar energy was gone.

’My skills! Right, the newly upgraded skills...’ Su Ze suddenly had a thought. He wondered if his new skills would allow him to observe his own soul.

But after several attempts, he had to give up in disappointment.

The skill that was upgraded was indeed "Eye of Truth," but it didn’t have the ability to perceive souls.

The worry about the foreign object in his soul overshadowed the joy of his skill upgrade. Su Ze decided he would ask Liou Wenxin about it later.

This upgrade to his "Eye of Truth" skill had greatly improved his physique and granted him a considerable increase in Spiritual Power. This was likely because he had absorbed the Tier-5 unique item, the Eye of Insight.

Compared to other upgrade and enhancement materials, the Eye of Insight was far more precious.

Just purchasing the materials for this major skill upgrade had cost him over ten million points and nine million contribution points. On top of that, he was now one hundred million contribution points in debt.

Currently, Su Ze had 30 million Evolutionary Technology Points and 13 million contribution points remaining.

This huge expenditure had bought him a complete upgrade for three of his skills, as well as various enhancements for several others.

The three skills he had upgraded were "Gravity Dust Sand," "Eye of Truth," and "Rhino Charge."

The "Gravity Dust Sand" skill probably needed a new name. After the upgrade, it no longer relied on the golden dust sand to control the surrounding gravity.

Su Ze decided to rename the upgraded "Gravity Dust Sand" to "Gravity Domain."

Gravity Domain: Allows control over the gravity of the surrounding area to a certain extent. Can also form a Gravity Chain to pull distant targets closer.

The upgraded "Gravity Domain" skill allowed Su Ze to manipulate surrounding gravity without needing Gravity Dust Sand as a medium. Furthermore, without the conspicuous golden dust, the Gravity Chain would be much harder for enemies to defend against.

As for the increased range and power of the Gravity Control, those were standard improvements that came with any skill upgrade and didn’t need further mention.

As for the "Eye of Truth" skill, this upgrade focused on its fusion with Spiritual Power.

Previously, the Perception Tentacles released by "Eye of Truth" were formed entirely from evolutionary power, relying on "touch" rather than "sight."

This meant Su Ze could only perceive tangible objects. Although his perception was so minute he could sense dust and even microorganisms, he couldn’t perceive intangible things. 𝗳𝚛𝗲𝕖𝕨𝕖𝗯𝚗𝚘𝕧𝕖𝗹.𝗰𝗼𝕞

He couldn’t perceive color or light...

He could sense someone playing on their phone through a wall, but he couldn’t see what they were playing.

He could also perceive the clothes a girl was wearing a hundred meters away, but he couldn’t tell what color they were.

With a Spiritual Power probe, however, none of this was an issue. Using a Spiritual Power probe was like sending his own eyes out to look around.

Before, both "Eye of Truth" and a Spiritual Power probe had their respective strengths, but "Eye of Truth" was comparatively more practical.

First, the Perception Tentacles were very difficult for others to detect. In contrast, using a Spiritual Power probe meant instant exposure if he encountered someone with stronger Spiritual Power than his own.

Second, "Eye of Truth" had the ability to see through illusions and perceive the true nature of things, whereas Spiritual Power was easily deceived and obstructed. This had been proven when they were exploring the spaceship; the fog had blocked everyone else’s Spiritual Power, but Su Ze’s Perception Tentacles were unaffected.

Additionally, the Perception Tentacles could serve as a conduit for other skills, like conducting electricity, because they were tangible entities, unlike the formless nature of Spiritual Power.

Now, however, the Perception Tentacles released by the upgraded "Eye of Truth" were formed by fusing Spiritual Power with evolutionary power, combining the strengths of both.
