Chapter 7: Chapter 7: Acquiring Talent.

Su Lin no longer dodged, he clashed fiercely with the lynx head-on. This time, their pounce and bite were both extremely vicious. Logically, as a solitary animal, a lynx would not fight to the death like this. However, the pain from Su Lin tearing off its flesh, along with the blatant provocation, had completely set it off. Blood flew everywhere. At that moment, Su Lin, despite taking two strikes from the lynx's front paws, bit off another chunk of its flesh. Even if the flesh still had fur on it, he didn't care and simply swallowed it into his stomach. "Ding! Host has consumed lynx meat, obtaining 2.4 Evolution Points." The reduction in Evolution Points for consuming meat from carnivores was much smaller. With just two more bites, Su Lin could advance to the next level. Therefore, his battle with the lynx became even more ferocious. As long as the lynx's sharp claws and teeth did not strike at vital points, Su Lin ignored them completely. He fought the lynx at close range, only looking for the right opportunity to take another bite. Thump! The lynx's front paw struck Su Lin's back fiercely, leaving a gash. But Su Lin's eyes lit up, and he bit off another layer of flesh from the muscle of the lynx's paw. "Ding! Host has consumed lynx meat, obtaining 2.3 Evolution Points." With its front paw injured, the lynx's combat power was obviously affected. In its fierce feline eyes, a trace of the will to retreat finally emerged. Instinct told it that if the battle continued, even if it won, it would be gravely injured! And for a solitary animal like it, a grave injury was equivalent to death! "Roar!" The lynx roared angrily, trying to break free from the fight. But Su Lin didn't give it the chance, clinging to it stubbornly with even quicker speed. He pounced on the lynx's back and once again bit off a chunk of flesh, devouring it. "Ding! Host has consumed lynx meat, obtaining 2.2 Evolution Points." After swallowing that mouthful of flesh, Su Lin's strength surged exceptionally quickly! The power of evolution coursed through every part of his body, every cell in his wolf frame greedily absorbed the power of evolution. "Ding! Congratulations to the host for advancing to Level 4!" Name: Su Lin. Species: Arctic Wolf. Searᴄh the NovelFire.net* website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality. Level: 4. (To upgrade, 160 Evolution Points are needed.) Qi-Blood: 400. Endurance: 40. Strength: 40. Defense: 40. Speed: 70. Evolution Points: 2. Additional Attribute Points: 10. Su Lin allocated the Additional Attribute Points into the Speed category once more. The Speed attribute immediately rose to 80. Feeling the surge of power in his wolf body, Su Lin couldn't help but let out a long howl. The lynx beneath him, however, managed to roll over, throwing Su Lin off. It began to run away at high speed. But what had been very agile speed for the lynx, at this moment, seemed slow in Su Lin's eyes. His blue Wolf Eyes stared at the escaping lynx, emanating a cold killing intent. If this lynx had come to snatch food, then it must be prepared to die here. Now, Su Lin was incredibly fast, racing like a white shadow. In an extremely short period of time, he caught up with the lynx. An 80 Speed combined with 40 Strength delivered a formidable pounce. The lynx turned back and looked, fear showing in its eyes for the first time, thinking of dodging. But it didn't have the time. Sheer strength instantly shattered the lynx's spine with a swipe. The lynx was sent tumbling for several meters. Blood also flowed from the corner of her mouth, and her eyes were congested from the shock. It seemed she wouldn't make it. Su Lin didn't torment her, he stepped forward and gave another fierce claw swipe to the lynx's head, shattering her last thread of consciousness! The first life-and-death struggle finally drew to a perfect close. Su Lin's wounds, which had already completely healed during the recent evolution, didn't bother him anymore. After the lynx took its last breath, several pale grey notification prompts suddenly popped up in front of Su Lin. Overcoming the strong while weak! A breakthrough in battle! A bloody fight! The ultimate victory! Target dead! Combat Rating: S. [For this battle rating: S, you have gained the Hunting Talent (D-level).] [Note: If the combat rating is less than S, no message will be prompted.] "Hm? What's this?" When Su Lin saw the messages appearing before him, he was taken aback at first. He hadn't expected that a battle to the death would also yield rewards. However, it seemed that obtaining such rewards was no easy feat. Combat rating S! It appeared that only such a fierce battle could merit such a rating. He shook his head and didn't dwell on it. Instead, he checked the so-called talent. [Hunt]: D-level (upgradable), Active Talent. Once activated, it increases the user's movement speed by fifty percent, increases attack power by fifty percent, and enhances stealthiness. Duration: 60 seconds. Cooldown Period: 24 hours. Seeing this talent, a gleam appeared in Su Lin's eyes. The Hunting Talent significantly enhanced his strength. Strength growth in the icy wilderness of the Arctic Continent meant not just increased confidence, but also securing food. However, Su Lin didn't waste much time and simply closed the attributes page after a glance. After all, there were the bodies of an Arctic reindeer and a lynx that needed to be dragged back to the cave. If he delayed too long, it might attract other hunters. Su Lin first hid the lynx's body in some concealed bushes. Then he dragged the Arctic reindeer's body back to the cave first. Afterward, he went out of the cave again and brought back the lynx's body. When the two carcasses were placed in front of the little ones, their blue wolf eyes looked up at Su Lin as if they were looking at the Wolf Father. No, the reverence and admiration they held were even more profound than when they looked at the Wolf Father. Su Lin left the lynx's carcass to one side, not allowing the wolf pups to feast on it. After all, lynx meat could still provide Su Lin with a substantial amount of Evolution Points. As for the Arctic reindeer, he used his paw to push it towards Wolf Sister and Cousin, indicating that they could go ahead and eat. In the Wolf Pack, the hierarchy was clear. Su Lin's gesture for Wolf Sister and Cousin to eat first was to establish rules among the four pups. It was to prevent situations like Little Orphan Wolf's disrespectful scrambles for food. Among the four pups, Cousin and Little Orphan Wolf were the strongest. Both Cousin and Little Orphan Wolf had achieved Level 2 Attributes. Beyond them was another Wolfess's child, with a mixed coat of grey and white fur. This pup was also three months old and had reached Level 1 Attributes. Of course, the weakest was the most beloved Wolf Sister. A pitiful Level 0. But since Wolf Sister was just over a month old, this attribute level was normal. After all, not every wolf could grow as quickly as Su Lin. Wolf Sister's little wolf teeth were not yet fully grown, often unable to bite properly or eat anything that was too hard. So Su Lin, who was currently resting on a rock, seeing this scene, went over to the Arctic reindeer's belly, tore off a few pieces of easier-to-digest meat, and threw them in front of Wolf Sister. "Awooo!" Wolf Sister's tender howls expressed her love and dependence on Su Lin.
