Chapter 7: Gaining Talent

Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations

Su Lin no longer dodged. He and the lynx clashed head-on. This time, their attacks and bites were very fierce.

Logically speaking, as a lone animal, the lynx would not risk its life like this. However, the pain of Su Lin biting its skin and flesh and the blatant provocation made it completely furious.

Blood splattered everywhere.

At this moment, Su Lin endured the two front claws of the lynx and bit off another bite of its meat. Even if the meat still had fur, he did not mind and swallowed it directly.

[Ding! Host has eaten a lynx. Obtained 2.4 evolution points.]

The evolution value decreased by devouring the meat of carnivores was much smaller. With two more bites, Su Lin would be able to complete his advancement. Therefore, he fought even more ferociously with the lynx.

As long as the lynx’s sharp claws and teeth did not attack his vital points, Su Lin would ignore them. He fought the lynx in close combat, only looking for a suitable opportunity to eat.

Bang!

The lynx’s front claws struck Su Lin’s back again, leaving a wound. However, Su Lin’s eyes lit up as he bit off another layer of flesh from the lynx’s front claws.

[Ding! Host has eaten a lynx. Obtained 2.3 evolution points.]

With its front claws injured, the lynx’s combat strength was clearly affected. There was finally a hint of retreat in its fierce feline eyes. Its intuition told it that if it continued to fight, even if it won, it would be severely injured!

As an animal that lived alone, serious injuries were equivalent to death!

“Roar!” The lynx roared and tried to escape the battle.

However, Su Lin did not give it a chance at all. He relied on his speed that was even faster than the lynx to hold it back. He pounced on the lynx’s back and bit off another piece of flesh, swallowing it into his stomach.

[Ding! Host has eaten a lynx. Obtained 2.2 evolution points.]

After swallowing this mouthful of flesh, Su Lin’s strength increased extremely quickly! The power of evolution flowed through every part of his body.

Every cell in the wolf’s body was greedily absorbing the power of evolution.

[Ding! Congratulations to the host for advancing to Level 4!]

[Name: Su Lin]

[Species: Arctic Wolf]

[Level: 4 (Requires 160 Evolution Points to level up.)]

[Health: 400]

[Endurance: 40]

[Strength: 40]

[Defense: 40]

[Speed: 70]

[Evolution Points: 2]

[Additional Attribute Value: 10]

Su Lin once again assigned the additional attribute value to the Speed column. His speed attribute instantly increased to 80. Now that Su Lin felt the explosive power in his wolf body, he couldn’t help but let out a long howl.

The lynx under him also rolled and threw Su Lin down. It began to run away quickly.

The lynx was originally very agile. But at this moment, in Su Lin’s eyes, everything slowed down. His blue wolf eyes looked at the fleeing lynx with cold killing intent.

Since this lynx came to snatch food, it had to be prepared to die here.

Su Lin’s speed is very fast now. When he ran, he was like a white shadow. It only took a very short time to catch up to the lynx. With a speed of 80 and a strength of 40, the pounce was definitely very powerful.

The lynx looked back, and for the first time fear showed in its eyes as it tried to dodge. But it was too late. The powerful force shattered the lynx’s spine. The lynx was immediately sent rolling a few meters. Blood flowed from the corner of its mouth, and its eyes were bloodshot.

It was about to die.

Su Lin did not torture it. He stepped forward and slapped the lynx’s head again, shattering its last bit of consciousness.

The first life and death battle finally came to an end. The wounds on Su Lin’s body had completely healed after the recent evolution. After the lynx completely died, a few faint gray notifications suddenly popped up in front of Su Lin.

[The weak triumphed over the strong!]

[Breakthrough at the last minute!]

[A bloody battle!]

[The final victory!]

[Target dead!]

[Combat Rating: S]

[Battle Rating: S. Obtained Hunting Talent (Grade D).]

[Remark: If combat rating is below S, no notifications will be received.]

“Hmm? This is?” Su Lin was stunned when he saw the notification floating in front of him. He did not expect to gain something from fighting. However, it seemed that it was not easy to gain anything.

He had a combat rating of S!

From the looks of it, this was the only way. He shook his head and stopped thinking about it. Instead, he checked his so-called talent.

[Hunting: Grade D (Upgradeable), Active Talent.]

[After activation, it could increase one’s movement speed by 50%, attack power by 50%, and aura concealment.]

[Duration: 60 seconds]

[Cooldown: 24 hours.]

Seeing this talent, Su Lin’s eyes lit up. His hunting talent had greatly increased his strength. The increase in strength brought not only confidence but also food in the frozen North Pole Continent.

However, Su Lin did not waste too much time. After checking it, he closed the attribute page. After all, there was still the corpse of an Arctic reindeer and a lynx that he needed to drag back to the cave. Otherwise, if the delay was too long, it might attract other hunters.

Su Lin first placed the lynx’s corpse in the hidden grass. Then he dragged the corpse of the Arctic reindeer back to the cave. Then, he came out of the cave again and brought the lynx’s corpse back.

When the two corpses were thrown in front of the children, their blue wolf eyes looked at Su Lin as if they were looking at Father Wolf. No, it was even more respectful and worshipful than when they looked at Father Wolf.

Su Lin placed the lynx’s corpse aside and did not let the wolf cubs eat it. After all, the meat of the lynx could still provide Su Lin with a lot of evolution points. As for the Arctic reindeer, he nudged it with his claws, indicating for Sister Wolf and Cousin to eat as much as they wanted.

Within the wolf pack, there were distinct levels.

Su Lin gestured for Sister Wolf and his cousin to eat first. He wanted to set a rule among the four brats. It saved people like Little Lone Wolf from snatching food.

Among the four brats, his cousin and Little Lone Wolf were currently the strongest. Both his cousin and Little Lone Wolf were currently at Level 2. Other than them, it was the child of another female wolf in the wolf pack. The fur on its body was more mixed, some gray and some white. This little wolf was already three months old and its attributes had reached Level 1.

Of course, the weakest was his closest wolf sister. It was a pitiful Level 0.

However, Sister Wolf had just been born for more than a month, so this attribute was normal. After all, no wolf could grow as fast as Su Lin. Sister Wolf’s little wolf teeth had yet to grow. They were often unable to bite or eat anything too hard.

So when Su Lin, who was resting on a rock, saw this scene, he tore off a few pieces of flesh that were easier to digest from the abdomen of the Arctic reindeer and threw them in front of Sister Wolf.

“Ow!” Sister Wolf’s tender wolf howl expressed her love and dependence on Su Lin.
