From Igniting Talent to Becoming a Demon God Section 49

Looking at the panel, Lu Chao pondered, "Still, Neural Stabilizers already have a certain chance of increasing Vitality, and this was my first time taking one, so its effects were at their peak."

"Add to that the enhanced digestion and absorption brought by [Predatory Growth], and the results were naturally remarkable. An increase like this makes sense."

With a rough answer in mind, Lu Chao did not dwell on it any further.

His gaze swept over the panel, and he instinctively compared the two talents.

"Compared with [Primary Resilience], the new talent's effects are more unique."

"But the former still has a chance to grow alongside my physique and upgrade into an intermediate specialty. As for the latter... comparing them now doesn't really show which is better."

His eyes flickered slightly, and many thoughts rose in Lu Chao's mind.

No matter what, these were the cornerstones that would lead him toward the future. More than that, he had even begun to look forward to new talent specialties.

At once, he looked toward the panel.

[Glutton: Lu Chao]

[Vitality: 22]

[Specialties: Primary—Primary Resilience, Predatory Growth]

[Potential Progress: 7%]

"Oh?"

Lu Chao was somewhat surprised, because his previous Potential Progress had already returned to zero.

"Could it be the Neural Stabilizer?"

His gaze sharpened, and Lu Chao quickly understood the reason.

Compared with ordinary Exotic Beast Meat, the Neural Stabilizer was far richer in nutritional energy, so its effects were naturally stronger—more than two or three times stronger.

Thinking of this, Lu Chao's eyes brightened, and a trace of blazing hope flashed through them.

Every awakening of a talent specialty would greatly increase the difficulty of accumulating Potential Progress. He guessed that ordinary Exotic Beast Meat was already producing only weak, negligible effects.

But right here, right now—

Staring at the progress on the panel, he felt as if he had found his prey and finally locked onto his target.

That same day, nine in the morning.

The tram moved slowly, and the crowded carriage was packed with shifting silhouettes.

Lu Chao had changed into a loose gray short-sleeved shirt and black trousers. His left hand gripped a ring handle as he stood by the window, his body swaying slightly with the motion of the carriage.

Many people brushed past his field of vision. There were middle-aged office workers with hurried expressions clutching briefcases, and gang punks with tattoos on their arms, several fluorescent patterns flickering across their skin.

He glanced over them out of habit. It should have been nothing unusual.

But at this moment, his eyes were filled with startled suspicion, and waves surged through his heart.

The reason was simple.

[Carbon-based Human]

[Vitality: 5 (Healthy)]

[Quality: Inferior]

[Consumption Effect: After consuming flesh and blood, can maintain the needs of normal bodily functions...]

"Intuition Sensing can be used like this too?"

Looking at a passerby who brushed past him, Lu Chao swallowed quietly and stared fixedly at the lines of data appearing on the panel.

He had noticed something was off as soon as he went downstairs. Especially inside this crowded tram, with many people extremely close to him, the Intuition Sensing from [Predatory Growth] was like an activated radar, continuously sweeping over every person who approached.

It was as if they were the greatest source of biological energy.

"Good thing I have absolutely no interest in eating the flesh and blood of my own kind."

"Otherwise..."

Lu Chao shuddered, feeling a powerful discomfort.

No matter how short on resources he was, this was the final line he could never cross.

"However..."

[Vitality: 7 (Sub-healthy)]

[Vitality: 5 (Mildly Fatigued)]

[Vitality: 9 (Healthy)]...

The panel information changed one after another. His gaze swept over the other passengers, and most people's Vitality was below 10 points.

"I can actually see through other people's condition like this."

"Not just their physical health, but their Vitality too... I just don't know whether this ability has an upper limit."

With a trace of speculation rising in his mind, Lu Chao eventually arrived at his stop and came to the Martial Arts Hall.

Joining the Patrol Bureau required submitting quite a few application materials, and he had to prepare all of them himself.

In particular, proof of Combat Grade strength generally required a Martial Arts Hall's involvement, with stamps and seals.

The thought flashed through Lu Chao's mind, but his steps did not slow.

He passed through the familiar concrete training ground. The air was filled with the smell of sweat and the sounds of all kinds of training. Without stopping, he walked straight into the Training Building.

"Senior Brother Lu!"

"Senior Brother Lu..."

Respectful calls rang out one after another. Lu Chao nodded in acknowledgment, responding to each in turn.

He could sense the envy in those gazes, especially from the junior brothers who had yet to break through to Combat Grade.

However.

His gaze swept over the surroundings, and data on everyone's Vitality appeared again. Most of them started at eight or nine points.

His eyes paused, and Lu Chao looked toward the distant ring.

Bang bang!!

The sounds of fists and feet colliding rang out in succession. Four or five Combat Grade senior brothers were actually sparring, and making no small amount of noise.

[Carbon-based Human]

[Vitality: 29 (Healthy)]

[Quality: Inferior]

[Consumption Effect: ...]

"Senior Brother Xu's Vitality is already 29 points... He's improved pretty quickly."

Lu Chao was a little surprised, because he remembered the other man's Vitality had still been around 25 points last month.

As he pondered, he then looked at several more senior brothers.

Soon, Lu Chao discovered that when the other party's Vitality exceeded his own by more than double, it became very difficult to peer into their details. All he could see was a string of question marks.

"So that's how it is."

After completely understanding the upper limit, a trace of curiosity rose in Lu Chao again.

"What about Shen Tianchen?"

He subconsciously moved closer to the ring and cast his gaze over.

But before he could see clearly—

"Junior Brother Lu."

A deep, steady voice sounded from behind him. Lu Chao turned to look.

His white training uniform was stretched tight over his broad frame. Zheng Wu held a kraft-paper envelope as he walked over at a slow pace.

"Here. The materials are all ready."

He handed over the kraft-paper envelope and explained, "Inside is the proof issued by the Martial Arts Hall. Once you go to the Patrol Bureau, you probably won't need to take a separate test."

"Also, I've already greeted that friend of mine. You can go tomorrow morning. He should be there."

As he gave his instructions, he said several more things, only to discover that Lu Chao was staring blankly at him.

"Is there something on my face?"

Zheng Wu asked in confusion.

"No, Senior Brother Zheng..."

Coming back to himself, Lu Chao hurriedly found an excuse and withdrew his gaze.

Then he opened the kraft-paper envelope and took a look.

Inside were several pages of documents, mostly concerning his identity information, as well as some details about his martial arts training at the Martial Arts Hall.
