A tongue, ripped out by the roots. With a crimson, viscous juice, it flew from a distance, planting itself squarely onto Taniel’s face. Taniel hadn’t expected any of this, and after the tongue slapped onto his face, the young, confused teacher from Deer Academy immediately let out a series of screams: The tongue slowly slid off. It fell to the ground. Once Taniel realized what had landed on the ground, he immediately exclaimed: Originally, Jason wanted to make something like a steamed egg cake after he was safe. Jason took out the ‘Dove Egg,’ gently tapped it on the hilt of his knife, and, just like the first time, sucked out all the liquid inside. Of course, fine salt was a must. For a sense of ceremony, Jason even added some black pepper. The salty fragrance mixed with a hint of spiciness spread from Jason’s tongue and entered his stomach, where that warm sensation again appeared, surging throughout his body. [You have consumed Harken (Larval Stage)!] [Physical strength and energy greatly recovered!] [Excitement of Feast +1] [Excitement of Feast: 1] His satiation level once again rose to double digits, and he regained 1 point of Excitement of Feast. Jason’s gaze began to hover over three skills: [Powder Weaponry. Light Weaponry], [Barehanded Combat], and [Mist Concealment]. If possible, Jason still wanted to enhance [Protection Against Evil] the most. But a proficiency-level [Protection Against Evil] requires not only 15 points of satiation but also 2 points of Excitement of Feast. The same goes for [Dufol Language]! Therefore, Jason’s options among the remaining skills were limited. The most he could upgrade was one of [Powder Weaponry. Light Weaponry]or [Barehanded Combat], in addition to the secret technique-level [Mist Concealment]. Both [Powder Weaponry. Light Weaponry] and [Barehanded Combat] need 4 points of satiation and 1 point of Excitement of Feast to reach proficiency level. [Mist Concealment] needs 9 points of satiation to go from basic to entry-level. With Jason’s current level of satiation and Excitement of Feast, it was enough. But Jason had his reservations. That was, how many fatal injuries would he suffer later on? Therefore, [Mist Concealment], which requires the most satiation, was temporarily crossed off the list. As for firearms, against truly bizarre phenomena, they are far less useful than explosives. Even if they could enhance perceptual attributes, it would be the same. [Powder Weaponry. Light Weaponry] was also temporarily crossed off. Only [Barehanded Combat] remained! At the entry and proficient levels, [Barehanded Combat] gave a 0.1 increase to Physical Strength and Strength, so it’s a given that the master level would also increase attributes, most likely Agility, or it may emphasize Physical Strength and Strength. But Jason was more concerned about what the proficiency option for [Barehanded Combat] was. Mere speculation could not lead to a conclusion. Without a better choice at the moment, Jason chose to enhance [Barehanded Combat]. [Yes/No Spend 4 points of satiation and 1 point of Excitement of Feast to upgrade Barehanded Combat to proficiency level?] Jason gave an affirmative answer as he scanned the text before him. Afterward, the text appeared again— [Barehanded Combat (Proficient): Your body itself is a powerful weapon. With long-term basic training and certain talents, you’ve not only mastered considerable skills, but your body has also become stronger without losing agility; Effect: Physical Strength +0.1, Strength +0.1, Agility +0.1] [Having upgraded Barehanded Combat to proficiency level, you gain the inherent talent option: Well-trained] [Well-trained (Passive): A large amount of combat training has given you this talent. When faced with an unexpected fight, long-term training allows you to adapt to emergencies more quickly.] “To handle sudden situations?” After the skills and body were attuned, Jason opened his eyes. He took a slight breath. Without a doubt, the proficiency option for [Barehanded Combat] is quite decent. Although there is no direct improvement, it has a broad range of application.
