Level 2 Awakener

Liu Yan fed the surviving woman a stalk of the detoxifying violetgrass, then bandaged her up with the only strip of cloth left.

Now, she was only left with a bra.

Liu Yan was indeed a hot-blooded young man. It wasn't that he didn't have any reaction to women, but survival was more important right now. How could he have the time to have any other thoughts?

As the green color on the woman's face disappeared, her cheeks slowly regained their rosiness and she woke up, only to see an unfamiliar teenager holding her and tearing her clothes.

"Pa!!" A loud slap resounded through the forest.

"What are you doing?!"

"You're awake? I'm trying to save you."

"Save me?"

The woman seemed to have realized something, and her eyes suddenly widened.

She looked around and saw dead green pythons with their stomachs cut open everywhere!

"You... Did you kill all of them by yourself? Eh? Aren't you the young man at the door of the Tower? Didn't you form a team with anyone?"

Liu Yan didn't want to expose himself, so he said, "I teamed up with Brother Cheng and the others. They have more people. It's not safe here, the smell of blood will attract other mutant beasts. I'll send you to our base."

The woman immediately became nervous. She hugged her body tightly, and her thoughts were a little chaotic.

"I, I'm not going. I still have one more thing to do..."

"What happened to you? Are they your companions?"

"We've been betrayed," She said in a low voice.

Liu Yan roughly understood that she had probably been tricked by her team. He was not interested at all though and had never trusted anyone easily anyway.

The woman looked at the bloody holes in her legs and arms. The bleeding had stopped and there was a cool sensation in her mouth.

"What did you feed me?" Only after blurting out the question did the woman seem to realize that it seemed a little presumptuous to ask. After all, whatever the teenager fed her did save her life, so she stuttered and said, "T-thank you."

Liu Yan was afraid that she would snatch the violetgrass away, so he stood up warily and said, "You're welcome."

Then, he took a coat from one of the bodies and put it on the woman.

"My name is Yang Zhi. Since you saved me, I'll give you a friendly reminder. Don't go further southwest. Their people are there."

"They?" Liu Yan asked in confusion.

Yang Zhi didn't say anything more. She waved at him and quickly ran southwest, "Goodbye!"

She was fast! Her figure seemed to have disappeared before his eyes in a blink.

Liu Yan actually felt a little regretful that she didn't die. He wondered what talent she had awakened.

After making sure that the woman had really left, he climbed up a tree and found a safe spot to sit down.

Liu Yan first took out the detoxifying violetgrass from his bag. According to the information displayed on the wristband, after refining the herb with a special method, the violetgrass could increase one's attributes.

Wasn't his Divine extraction the best way to refine the herb? What could be better than the grade SSS talent, Divine Extraction?

Liu Yan kept a small portion of the detoxifying violetgrass for later use in case he was injured or poisoned. Then, he used Divine Extraction on a good portion of the detoxifying violetgrass.

With that, a white light enveloped the detoxifying violetgrass, and a notification appeared before Liu Yan.

[Divine Extraction of the detoxifying violetgrass has been successful. Agility +6, vitality +5, adaptability +9!]

In that instant, Liu Yan felt that his body had become much lighter and more agile. At the same time, his mind was much clearer, and he felt very comfortable.

Liu Yan was quite surprised. He didn't expect to obtain such a huge improvement in attributes after using Divine Extraction on the detoxifying violetgrass. It was equivalent to doing the same on two or three level 1 mutant beast corpses.

The key was that using Divine Extraction on two or three level 1 mutant beast corpses would consume two or three chances. In contrast, doing so on the detoxifying violetgrass had only used up one chance.

Previously, the situation had been too urgent and dangerous, so Liu Yan didn't have time to check his gains. Now that he finally had time, he quickly opened his attribute panel through his smart wristband.

Looking at his attribute panel, Liu Yan was extremely excited.

First, he had killed five level 1 mutant green pythons and gained enough EXP to advance to level 2. All his attributes had thus been improved. Then, he used Divine Extraction on the corpses of five green pythons and the detoxifying violetgrass, allowing his attributes to receive a huge boost.

The improved attributes from using Divine Extraction on the green python were strength, physique, and agility, while the detoxifying violetgrass improved his agility, vitality, and adaptability.

As a result, Liu Yan's agility attribute had exaggerated stats, while the stats for his strength and physique attributes were also extremely high. The other attributes were not as good but still much stronger than the average level 2 awakener.

Liu Yan pondered for a moment. Although his vitality and adaptability attributes were on the low side, they were sufficient for the time being. He didn't need their figures to be too high. As such, he evenly distributed the eight allocatable attribute points to his strength and physique.

After doing so, his strength reached a terrifying 46 points and his physique reached 42 points.

Liu Yan roughly estimated that although he was a level 2 awakener, his attributes were much stronger than that of a level 3 awakener.

After using Divine Extraction on two corpses, he obtained two agility skills. In addition to Liu Yan's original agility skill, the three skills fused into a high-level agility skill!

With that, he learned that he could fuse the acquired talent skills with his grade SSS talent, Divine Extraction.

In this way, the low-level skills he obtained in the future would also be useful since they could be combined and improved.

At the same time, if he wanted to obtain a high-level powerful skill, he did not have to take the risk of using Divine Extraction on high-level mutant beasts or awakener corpses. He could just slowly use his talent on low-level corpses and fuse the skills to become stronger!

As for the number of times he could use Divine Extraction, Liu Yan had a rough estimate in his heart.

As his level increased, the number of times he could use Divine Extraction would seem to reset while also increasing a lot.

Knowing this, Liu Yan was relieved.

Since this was the case, as his level increased in the future, he could use Divine Extraction more frequently and become stronger faster.

As expected of a top-grade-SSS talent.

Although the newbie mission required him to kill mutant beasts to increase his strength within seven days before entering the second floor, only three days had passed, and Liu Yan's strength was already sufficient.

Liu Yan calculated his abilities and resources.

He still needed to bring the violetgrass back to verify if it could cure the scaled-winged poison moth's poison. If yes, he had to immediately leave the Tower to save his sister!

At this moment, Liu Yan heard the sounds of fighting coming from the southwest.

The sounds were a little chaotic. It seemed that there were many awakeners and mutant beasts.

This was definitely a good opportunity for him. Not only could he try out his new abilities, but he could also take advantage of the situation and pick up some scraps.

By the time Liu Yan arrived, he saw seven or eight awakeners engaged in an intense battle.

Liu Yan recognized the group at first glance.

It was the team with the grade-B awakener!
