Chapter 260: Chapter 257 The First Legendary Skill

Orange light flashed brilliantly!

A torrent of knowledge, experience, and techniques flooded his mind.

Bi Fang squinted instinctively, feeling a heaviness in his brain and goosebumps all over his body, with a shiver enveloping his soul.

This enhancement was unprecedented, evolving from purple to Orange Legend, a leap in improvement far greater than any previous skill advancement.

The bright light receded, and the description of the upgraded skill appeared on the panel.

Wilderness Hunter lv1: No one knows the wilderness better than you. Your understanding of the wilderness has reached the pinnacle of mastery, almost the limit of the current human society level, with your own interpretation and innovation in Wilderness Survival turning into a biological instinct; you are a legend in your own right.

Legendary Ability: Wild Instinct.

Wild Instinct: You have your own inherent perception of danger, but this newly awakened ability seems not very powerful.

Bi Fang sat down heavily on the bed, his brain pounding with pain.

The leap from purple to orange was too great, almost a torturous force-feeding sensation.

Fortunately, with the aid of the skill tree, the newly acquired knowledge quickly integrated with the old system, and Bi Fang gradually recovered. He immediately noticed his new talent, Beastly Instinct.

Past system descriptions had been quite scant, but it seemed Orange Legend was an exception, providing extensive explanations and many details not previously available.

Understanding his legendary ability, Bi Fang cherished it like a treasure. He did not treat Beastly Instinct as just another skill but as a talent.

A very useful talent.

Humans who have lived in cities for a long time are often very slow to perceive danger, having degenerated to an extent that is almost beyond recovery.

But it’s different for wild beasts living in the wilderness. Even ordinary animals become uneasy before an earthquake strikes, whereas humans remain oblivious, indicating how much this ability has degenerated.

Top predators are the best among them.

One typical example is the tiger, which possesses an extremely keen perception of danger. If you were to hunt a tiger with a bow and arrow, the tiger might sense the danger and instinctively jump away to avoid it before you even draw the bow.

Now it’s different.

From now on, as Bi Fang traverses the wilderness, Beastly Instinct might just save his life, as the body’s instinctive reactions are much faster than conscious thought.

It’s just uncertain to what extent it can do so.

Bi Fang gazed at the last comment about Beastly Instinct, puzzled by the vague concepts of “just awakened” and “seems not very strong,” which were thought-provoking.

Could it detect a venomous snake hiding in the dead leaves or a hungry beast eyeing its prey?

Wild beasts that live permanently in the same environment encounter only fixed dangers. A creature from the rainforest will never survive in the desert. Perhaps it could handle a Bamboo Viper but not necessarily a Rattlesnake.

But Bi Fang was different; he would go to any corner of the world and needed a much stronger adaptability…

Well, he’d experiment more when the opportunity arises.

Bi Fang closed the panel, extremely satisfied. The rewards aside, just upgrading the purple Wilderness Survival to the orange Wilderness Hunter made everything he had done worthwhile, not to mention the additional derivative skill.

However, having reached the orange domain, Bi Fang suddenly learned new information.

Upgrading skills above the legendary level required Enhancement Points…

Currently, upgrading an orange skill by one level needed an Advanced Skill Upgrade Coupon plus one Enhancement Point.

As his physical data continued to improve, Bi Fang could feel that the effect of the fifteenth Enhancement Point was actually not as strong as the thirteenth, but the decline wasn’t significant and still within the ideal range. However, it was clear that the returns would diminish further in the future, something Bi Fang had known from the start and was not surprised by.

It seemed that he had to be more careful with the allocation of Enhancement Points in the future. He needed to carefully compare the benefits of increasing physical data versus skill upgrades.

Bi Fang didn’t immediately use the remaining coupons but instead checked the shop to see if there was anything worth buying.

There indeed was, an Achilles Tendon Enhancement Coupon worth six hundred points, which could increase the length and strength of the tendon.

Purchased.

Without hesitation, Bi Fang bought it. A longer Achilles tendon meant higher explosiveness and speed. Such an attribute is predetermined by genetics and cannot be lengthened later in life; the average person’s tendon is about 15 centimeters, while the sprint king Bolt possessed an unprecedented over forty-centimeter tendon.

Amidst his excitement, Bi Fang purchased some shoes and equipment. After his third set of ten consecutive draws, the system finally delivered its second prompt—the rewards for hunting the shark!

He clicked to generate the spoils of battle, and a huge shark tooth, over six centimeters in length, appeared on the necklace.

[Ding! You have triggered a loot reward enhancement: Biological Sensing.]

[Biological Sensing]

Ability Introduction: You will possess the same electromagnetic sensing ability as a shark to detect the presence of prey.

Bi Fang was taken aback after reading the introduction.

Previous enhancements involved inheriting the distinctive abilities of prey. He’d contemplated possessing many of the shark’s abilities, but he never dared to imagine that he’d actually gain an electro-sense like a shark’s.

How is that possible? Does this mean he could directly discover creatures tens of kilometers away in the future?

No, that’s not right!

Bi Fang, whose mind had been clouded by the huge surprise, suddenly realized something was amiss.

If it truly was like the shark’s, why didn’t he feel anything?

Logically, the Barton couple were just upstairs, yet he sensed nothing from them.

After calming down, Bi Fang furrowed his brows in thought and suddenly realized a problem—water and air have completely different conductivities!

On land, this ability was essentially useless!

Could it only be used in water?

Bi Fang’s brows gradually relaxed. Indeed, if he could directly sense the existence of creatures tens of kilometers away on land, then he might as well start considering whether he could evolve into Superman or Magneto.

Moreover, the strength of the ability was dubious. The system only mentioned the ability was the same, but it didn’t specify if the strength was the same. Judging by the Wolf King’s Sense of Smell, it was definitely weakened.

As he was contemplating the strength of his new ability, Bi Fang suddenly thought of the large fish tank in the Barton family’s living room…

Squeak…

The door was quietly opened a crack, and Bi Fang peered through the gap to check the situation in the living room.

There was no one around; everyone had gone back to their rooms to rest after dinner, and not a single light shone in the living room in the middle of the night.

Bi Fang tiptoed over to the fish tank. Gazing at the pitch-black fish tank, he slowly dipped his hand into it, closed his eyes, and truly, a vague sense of detection emerged in his mind!

Bi Fang was overjoyed and immediately concentrated, trying to sense more.

One, two, three…

A total of eight little fish, different from the seven he saw in the afternoon—perhaps he had missed one then.

The sensing was quite clear; he could even vaguely determine the size of the fish, but the intensity felt much weaker. Bi Fang opened his eyes and pondered silently.

The fish tank was roughly two meters long; he could sense the other end, but the clarity became somewhat blurred as the distance increased, judging from this.

Normally, he should be able to sense down to twenty to thirty meters underwater.

That’s powerful!

Far from being disappointed, Bi Fang was actually quite pleased. Twenty to thirty meters was not a short distance; for Wilderness Survival, it was definitely a powerful tool. As long as there were fish in the river, they couldn’t escape the palm of his hand!

While he was excited…

Pat.

The light turned on.

Danny, who got up to use the toilet at night, rubbed his eyes and looked at Bi Fang, standing proudly in front of the fish tank, his movements gradually slowing down.

“What are you doing?”
