Innate Talent: Perfect Nature

Ten minutes later.

In the bathroom, which was larger than an average bedroom.

Xi Shenlian looked at his reflection in the rectangular standing mirror.

What he saw was a figure with a perfectly proportioned, fair-skinned build that looked as if it had never been exercised, yet was covered in solid, flawless muscles.

To be honest.

It was almost too perfect.

Like a piece of art carved after meticulous calculations and considerations.

It didn't resemble anything that could develop naturally from a human.

Even if you removed all external negative factors and allowed genes to develop perfectly, you still couldn't achieve this level.

Every curve and muscle was excessively perfect!

Even the somewhat idealized heroic and demigod statues of ancient Greek artists fell far short of this level!

However.

What Xi Shenlian cared about more were the changes to his face and hair.

'My face seems younger and more handsome, and even my hair color and pupils have changed significantly...'

'And... it looks like I've gotten a bit taller...'

Compared to a month ago.

He was not only more handsome.

But also younger.

Younger by about a year or two.

It felt somewhat like returning to the rapid development period of life.

Besides that.

His slightly longer hair had changed from deep black to deep purple, and his pupils had undergone the same change. Moreover, within his originally normal round pupils, a narrow, inhuman vertical slit had appeared, allowing Xi Shenlian's field of vision to directly surpass what a human should be capable of.

Hair color and pupil color were fine.

This world had plenty of strange hair and eye colors.

Plus, with dyeing and colored contacts.

All colors were available.

But that somewhat abnormal vertical pupil was truly a bit peculiar.

This development made him think of some ancient legends.

Rumors that powerful Awakened individuals all had some external traits that differed from ordinary people.

'External traits unlike normal people...'

'Gifted, huh...'

After pondering for a while.

He picked up the phone beside him.

He asked the hotel staff to bring some food, as well as tools for measuring weight and height.

--

Another ten-plus minutes passed.

Standing on the electronic height and weight scale pushed over by the staff.

As the height rod slowly descended and touched the top of his head.

Xi Shenlian saw his approximate physical data.

Height: 185 cm.

Weight: 210 jin.

His height had increased a bit.

And his weight had gone up by several dozen jin.

Under normal circumstances.

This would mean he was fat.

But in terms of appearance.

When dressed, Xi Shenlian not only looked tall and well-proportioned, but might even seem a bit thin—far from being called fat.

This meant his body density was already different from that of a normal person.

Still.

He was fairly satisfied with this.

"...It's alright, not too exaggerated."

In his view, 210 pounds was a bit heavy, but still within the range of an ordinary human. At least Xi Shenlian didn't have to worry about crushing everything under him.

If it were something like 2,100 pounds...

That would make even riding in a car inconvenient.

Then, after a while.

As over a dozen waiters pushed food carts into the room one after another.

Xi Shenlian began his frantic eating spree after six days and six nights.

Now.

Based on the subtle manifestations of his evolution, even though he had never eaten many rare foods before, the moment his gaze fell on them, he instinctively knew whether they were edible and nutritious.

It was a very strange feeling, hard to put into words.

Like how a wild beast instinctively knows which prey is safe to eat and which isn't.

Even.

When he turned his gaze toward the waiters delivering the food, his brain automatically made all sorts of judgments.

Can I eat it?

Is it toxic?

Is it dangerous?

Even when he looked at other things, like the metal plates and forks in front of him.

He instinctively knew that his stomach could digest these items.

Though they had no nutritional value.

In a pinch, they were indeed edible!

It was a very clear, inexplicable feeling...

Faced with those inexplicable premonitions.

To better experience his own changes, Xi Shenlian, right under the shocked gazes of the waiters, proceeded to eat several metal plates and even glass goblets one after another, as if he had completely lost all pickiness!

How to describe it...

Though those things didn't taste great.

Xi Shenlian's teeth still easily chewed them up.

And his mouth and throat safely swallowed them down.

No harder than eating a cookie.

Absolutely no difficulty at all.

In the end, his stomach, like a furnace, rapidly broke down the metal and glass in less than ten seconds, forcibly converting them into the various trace elements he needed.

Not only that.

Xi Shenlian also noticed that he no longer needed to breathe through his mouth or nose.

His skin now automatically filtered the surrounding air and absorbed it!

'I feel like I'm not quite human anymore...'

Vaguely.

He even had a feeling.

That even if he were thrown directly into outer space right now with no supplies, he could probably survive for a very, very long time.

A month?

A whole year?

He wasn't sure.

But just by eating space rocks, he figured he wouldn't go hungry...

This feeling directly made him think he no longer seemed like an Earth creature.

More like some kind of cosmic lifeform.

Thinking of this.

He turned his gaze to the Innate Talent column on the system panel.

There.

A brand-new talent was shining with a strange radiance.

Perfect Nature: All living beings have their own natures and instincts—eating instincts, sixth sense... all of that. Through those vague perceptions, premonitions, and instincts, creatures often make accurate judgments with no basis at critical moments, like whether food is poisonous or if the surroundings are dangerous... Your nature and instincts are among the most excellent of their kind, reaching a mystical level close to prophecy, automatically making you aware of many situations and information that ordinary people cannot perceive.

This was the Innate Ability that Xi Shenlian automatically awakened after his power increased and he smoothly reached the Mature Stage.

One of the potentials inherent within him.

In the Life Winner System's judgment and ranking of strength, this new ability's power directly surpassed his original Awakened Innate Wisdom.

It was clearly ranked above it!

After glancing at this new talent, Xi Shenlian's gaze then moved to the long-accumulated Daily Mood Value Draw Chance: 30.

Though there was nothing he particularly wanted, he still decided to do a ten-pull first.
