Ten minutes later.
In the bathroom, which was larger than a standard bedroom.
Xi Shenlian looked at his reflection in the rectangular full-length mirror.
It was an incredibly well-proportioned figure, with fair skin that looked as though it had never been trained, yet solid, perfect muscles covering every inch of his body.
To be honest.
It was almost too perfect.
It was like a work of art carved after countless calculations and considerations.
It looked nothing like a body that had developed normally as a human's.
It had reached a level that even perfect genetic development, free from all external negative influences, could never achieve.
Every curve and every muscle was excessively perfect!
Even the somewhat idealized statues of heroes and demigods created by ancient Greek artists fell far short of this level!
However.
What concerned Xi Shenlian more was the change to his face and hair.
'My face seems to have become younger and more handsome, and even my hair and eye colors have changed noticeably...'
'And... I seem to have grown a little taller...'
Compared with a month ago, he was now.
Not only somewhat more handsome.
He was also somewhat younger.
He looked about one or two years younger.
The feeling was somewhat like returning to a period of rapid growth in his life.
Aside from that.
His slightly longer hair had not only changed from deep black to dark purple, even his pupils had undergone the same change. Within his originally ordinary round pupils, another set of long, narrow, inhuman vertical pupils had appeared. This allowed Xi Shenlian to see from an angle that directly surpassed the limits of human vision.
His hair and eye colors were fine.
This world already had plenty of strange hair and eye colors.
Add in hair dye and colored contact lenses.
Every color imaginable could be found.
But those somewhat abnormal vertical pupils were truly unusual.
This situation naturally reminded him of some ancient legends.
It was said that powerful Awakened more or less possessed some external features that differed from ordinary people.
'External features unlike those of ordinary people...'
'Innate talent, perhaps...'
After thinking for a while.
He picked up the phone beside him.
Besides asking the hotel staff to bring him some food, he also asked them to bring equipment for measuring his weight and height.
--
Another ten-odd minutes passed.
Standing on the electronic height-and-weight scale the staff had pushed over.
As the measuring rod slowly descended and touched the top of his head.
Xi Shenlian saw the approximate external data of his body.
Height: 185 cm.
Weight: 210 jin.
His height had increased slightly.
His weight, meanwhile, had increased by dozens of jin.
Under normal circumstances.
This should have made him fat.
But in terms of appearance.
When wearing clothes, Xi Shenlian was not only tall and well-proportioned, he might even have seemed a little thin. He was completely impossible to call fat.
This meant that his body density was already different from that of an ordinary person.
However.
He was fairly satisfied with this.
"...Not bad. It's not too exaggerated."
In his view, although 210 jin was somewhat heavy, it was still within the range of what a normal human could weigh. At least Xi Shenlian did not need to worry about crushing all sorts of things.
If it had been 2,100 jin or something...
Then riding in a vehicle would have become rather inconvenient.
After that, some more time passed.
As more than a dozen staff members gradually entered the room, pushing carts loaded with food.
Xi Shenlian began his first bout of frenzied eating in six days and six nights.
Now.
Based on the hidden manifestations of his evolution, although he had never eaten many rare foods, he would instinctively know whether they were edible and whether they contained nutrients the moment he looked at them.
It was a very strange feeling, difficult to describe.
It was like how wild beasts instinctively knew which prey they could eat and which they could not.
Even.
When he turned his gaze toward the staff members delivering the food, his brain automatically made various judgments.
Could they be eaten?
Were they poisonous?
Were they dangerous?
Even when he looked at other things, such as the metal plates and forks in front of him.
He instinctively knew that his stomach could digest them.
Although they contained no nutrients.
They could indeed be eaten when necessary!
It was a very clear yet inexplicable feeling...
Faced with those inexplicable premonitions.
To better experience the changes in his body, Xi Shenlian directly ate several metal plates and even glass wineglasses in front of the staff's utterly shocked gazes, as though he had completely thrown caution to the wind!
How should he put it...
Although those things did not taste very good.
Xi Shenlian's teeth had truly crushed them with ease.
His mouth and throat had also safely swallowed them.
It was no more difficult than eating a biscuit.
There was not the slightest difficulty.
In the end, his stomach was even like a furnace. In less than ten seconds, it rapidly broke down the metal and glass, forcibly transforming them into the various trace elements his body needed.
Not only that.
Xi Shenlian also realized that he no longer needed to breathe through his mouth and nose.
His skin now automatically filtered and absorbed the surrounding air!
'Why do I feel less and less like a human...'
Vaguely.
He even had a feeling.
That was, even if he were thrown directly into outer space right now, without being provided with any supplies, he should still be able to survive for a very long time.
A month?
A whole year?
He was not sure.
But simply by eating space meteoroids, he should be able to avoid starving...
This feeling made him directly sense that he was no longer much like an Earth lifeform.
It was as though he were some kind of cosmic lifeform.
Thinking of this.
He turned his gaze toward the Innate Talent section on the system panel.
There.
A brand-new talent was shining with a strange radiance.
Perfect Nature: All lifeforms possess their own natures and instincts. The instinct to eat, the sixth sense... are all like this. Through those mysterious perceptions, predictions, and instincts, lifeforms often make accurate judgments about matters at critical moments without any basis—for example, whether food is poisonous or whether the surrounding environment is dangerous... Your nature and instincts belong to an exceptionally outstanding type. They have already reached a profound level approaching prophecy, automatically allowing you to understand numerous circumstances and pieces of information that ordinary people cannot perceive.
This was the Innate Ability that Xi Shenlian had automatically awakened after his strength increased and he successfully reached the Mature Stage.
It was one of the potentials he possessed inherently.
According to the Life Winner System's assessment and ranking of strength.
The strength of this brand-new ability directly surpassed his original Awakened Innate Wisdom.
It was clearly ranked above it!
After sweeping his gaze over this new talent.
Xi Shenlian's gaze then moved to the long-accumulated Daily Mood Value Draw Chance: 30.
Although there was nothing in particular he wanted, he still decided to start with a ten-draw.
