Integration of the Tusk Mountain Boar

Bang! Bang! Bang!

Thudding sounds echoed from the forest. After crashing through over a dozen large trees, the heavily wounded Tusk Mountain Boar finally reached its limit. With a mournful cry, it collapsed to the ground.

"We got it!!"

Seeing this, the Beast Hunter Hall members who had been hiding nearby breathed a sigh of relief, as did Wang Sanyang.

Although he was a Muscle Forging realm martial artist, a fierce beast of the Tusk Mountain Boar's size, with its immense strength, extremely tough hide, and impressive bursts of speed, was not easy to deal with head-on, even for a martial artist at the peak of Muscle Forging. He was only at the early stage of Muscle Forging.

Furthermore, this Tusk Mountain Boar was clearly more robust than others.

So, when he saw it, he was a little uncertain. Fortunately, the plan had no flaws, and everything went smoothly.

Seeing the Tusk Mountain Boar completely collapse on the ground, its single eye still open and breathing heavily but unable to stand, Wang Sanyang approached it from several yards away, holding his iron spear. He inhaled, gathered his strength, and in the next moment, the iron spear pierced the Tusk Mountain Boar's neck with a whistling sound.

Another weak roar, but the Tusk Mountain Boar merely lifted its head slightly before letting it fall again, the ferocity in its eyes gradually fading.

Seeing this, Wang Sanyang smiled and then shouted loudly.

"Alright, everyone come out. Pull out this beast's tusks, and bring back some of its prime meat..."

As Wang Sanyang finished speaking, the Beast Hunter Hall hunters surrounded them, taking out their knives and getting to work.

Lin Sheng, also among the crowd, deliberately stayed at the back of the group, near the Tusk Mountain Boar's hind leg. When he confirmed that most people were at the front, pulling out the tusks, and their attention was focused on the two large tusks.

He squatted down, inserted his dagger into the wound on the Tusk Mountain Boar's hind leg, and widened the opening. With his other hand, he stealthily reached inside.

[Beast Name: Tusk Mountain Boar (Common Grade)]

[Belongs to the boar family. Possesses a massive body and tusks. Its nature is violent and bloodthirsty, with extremely strong aggression. It is strong and has thick skin. It is an elite existence among Common Grade fierce beasts, ranking among the high Common Grade.]

[Integration Requirement: None]

[Integration Effect: Strength +2, Constitution +2]

"Is this the attribute bonus from a high Common Grade exotic beast? It actually gives a total of four points in bonuses."

Although he had already guessed the Tusk Mountain Boar's bonus effects, Lin Sheng was still quite surprised when he confirmed it.

After all, exotic beasts like the Iron Yak and White Ape, which were mid-Common Grade, provided bonuses of around two points. This Tusk Mountain Boar had doubled that.

Moreover, there was a new type of bonus direction: Constitution.

"Integrate Tusk Mountain Boar!"

Lost in thought, Lin Sheng did not hesitate and chose to integrate the Tusk Mountain Boar.

Exotic beasts of this high Common Grade were rarely seen. With his current strength, if it weren't for the Beast Hunter Hall, he would have had difficulty encountering exotic beasts of this level, let alone integrating them.

Now that the opportunity was before him, he naturally wouldn't let it pass.

With a thought, Lin Sheng felt a powerful suction force emanating from his palm inserted into the wound. The Tusk Mountain Boar's blood rapidly flowed towards his palm.

The Tusk Mountain Boar was large and had abundant Blood Essence. Even with numerous wounds, there was still a lot of blood remaining in its body. Now, all this blood began to move. It took the time it takes for an incense stick to burn before a successful integration prompt appeared in his consciousness.

Almost simultaneously, Lin Sheng felt a surge of warmth within his body. The dagger, which had been half-inserted into the Tusk Mountain Boar's wound, now went in up to its hilt.

Ignoring this, his attention was now focused on his own body. If someone were very close to Lin Sheng, they would notice his exposed skin rapidly twitching, his pores enlarging, and veins bulging. His skin was becoming rough at a visible rate.

"Hoo..."

After taking several deep breaths, Lin Sheng's tense body finally relaxed.

"Did it finally work?"

He looked at his palm, slowly clenching it. A crisp cracking sound erupted from his palm.

He could clearly feel his strength suddenly surge significantly, giving him a sense of unreal illusion once again.

This increase in strength far surpassed the Strength +1 he gained from integrating the Iron Yak.

Strength +1 added about three to four hundred catties of strength, while Strength +2 had directly boosted his strength to just over a thousand catties. This kind of bonus effect was more immediate than the Agility Boost.

However, thinking about it, agility was different from strength. A two to three percent increase in agility was already a significant advantage over others.

"With the bonus of Strength +2, plus my own strength, I should be on par with Wang Sanyang in terms of raw power."

Feeling the surging power within his body, Lin Sheng glanced at Wang Sanyang, who was busy extracting the tusks.

Soon, he shifted his attention back to his Constitution bonus.

Constitution, from its literal meaning, should refer to one's physique.

From some game interfaces, Constitution usually corresponded to a person's health and their ability to adapt to external environments.

His gaze fell upon his skin, which had become noticeably rougher than before.

He reached out and gently touched his palm, feeling a distinct toughness. The texture didn't feel like human skin; it felt more like tanned cowhide.

Considering the Tusk Mountain Boar's characteristics – great strength, thick hide, and resilience – the great strength corresponded to Strength +2, so the thick hide and resilience should correspond to the Constitution bonus.

The effects of integration varied depending on the type of exotic beast, but they were generally related to the exotic beast's own attributes. Having integrated several times over the past year, he had already figured this out.

He decided to withdraw his dagger and lightly scratch his arm.

Hmm, he felt nothing.

Lin Sheng increased the force, using the strength of a normal adult male.

The dagger fell, and with a shing, only a barely visible white mark appeared on his arm. This level was clearly nowhere near the limit of his body's defense.

Without hesitation, he continued to increase his strength. It wasn't until his strength reached three to four hundred catties that his arm began to sting, and a faint bloodstain appeared on the surface.

"I didn't expect the effect of Physique Boost 2 to be so potent."

Three to four hundred catties of strength was the full power output of some martial artists who had just entered the Body Tempering realm.

Yet, even with a sharp blade in hand, they could barely break his skin.

However, due to cultivating the Raging Bull Fist, his entire body's defenses, especially his hands, were the strongest. Other areas were somewhat weaker compared to his two arms.

Even so, this level of defense could certainly be considered extremely formidable. Although he hadn't sparred with Wang Sanyang, he imagined that the defensive power from mastering the Raging Bull Fist would be no more than this. Moreover, the physical defense brought by the Physique Boost was more comprehensive.
