He wasn't sure if it was because practice makes perfect, or if his technique had improved, or if his enhanced physical condition had also strengthened his swallowing ability. This time, his speed at devouring the divine remains was several times faster than yesterday.
Previously, he would occasionally choke, but today, he could shove the remains into his mouth with both hands and swallow them immediately. Because of this, his hands barely stopped moving. In just over ten minutes, he had almost finished eating all the divine remains from the three trash bins.
As he ate, his entire body continued to grow stronger.
By the time he was nearly done with the remains in the three trash bins, he realized that even though he was shirtless, he no longer shivered from the cold in this place. His entire body was filled with strength.
"This effective already?"
Looking at his gradually well-defined chest and abdominal muscles, Qin Siyang showed a satisfied smile.
At that moment, a notification sound rang in his mind again.
▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬
[Sequence "God-Eater" has advanced]
[Devouring divinity makes you stronger]
[Current Sequence Level: Level 2, Greedy Madman]
[Skill: Blood Drink. Skill description: Raw consumption of divinity also grants absorption.]
[Skill: Violence. Skill description: For ten minutes, strength, agility, and physical endurance increase threefold. During this period, you feel no pain.]
▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬
He advanced!
Qin Siyang's eyes widened in disbelief as he stared at his status panel.
The new skill [Violence] enhanced his strength and agility while eliminating pain.
This skill significantly boosted his combat ability.
Did this mean he could now join a Sequence Ability User Divine Hunting Squad?
He remembered that when he last browsed the Godslayer Camp forum, he saw a Sequence called "Warrior", which had a skill called [Strengthening] that doubled one's strength and endurance for ten minutes. It was once hailed as a "broken skill" among low-tier Sequence Users.
Yet his [Violence] completely outclassed [Strengthening] in every way. Wouldn't that make him the king among low-tier Sequence Users?
Now that he had such a powerful skill, should he join a Sequence Ability User team? Or go solo?
Countless thoughts flooded his mind, but he had no answers.
Then, suddenly, he realized a problem.
Right now, the most important thing wasn't to reveal his status as a Sequence Ability User—it was to find a way to conceal his "God-Eater" Sequence so that no one would know about it.
For that, he had to make another trip to the internet café and search for a Sequence he could use as a cover.
Otherwise, if people found out his Sequence was "God-Eater", he had no idea what kind of threats he would face.
But that was an issue for after he went to the library next week to gather some intelligence. At least for the next week, he still needed to act like an ordinary student.
Future problems can wait for the future.
For today, his Sequence had advanced—time to quit while he was ahead.
If he got greedy and went to Exit 38324 for more divine remains, the risk would be too high. Exit 38324 was only three stops away from Exit 89757. If people here noticed something was wrong, they could easily alert Exit 38324's personnel to monitor the trash bins and catch him red-handed.
He'd settle for this place today.
Once he finished off the last ten or so divine remains in the trash bins, it would be time to head home. With that decision made, Qin Siyang was about to continue eating and finish this feast.
Suddenly, he heard footsteps.
'Someone is coming? Seriously?'
But the footsteps seemed… unsteady.
Turning his head, he saw a drunkard stumbling his way toward the trash bins.
The drunkard didn't seem to notice Qin Siyang. He was humming an off-key tune, making Qin Siyang even more anxious.
'If this drunk notices something strange about the trash bins, they might seal off the area soon. I have to leave!'
He didn't even have time to wipe the bloodstains off his body. After a brief hesitation, he quickly stuffed the last dozen divine remains into his backpack, then hurriedly put on his clothes, slung the bag over his shoulders, and bolted.
After advancing in Sequence, his body had undergone yet another qualitative leap. At full speed, he was so fast that the railings along the road seemed to blur as they flashed past.
'Just keep running—please don't let anyone notice me!'
Qin Siyang prayed silently, hoping he could escape before any surveillance was set up to capture him.
Meanwhile, the drunkard, holding a liquor bottle, wobbled up to the trash bin and scratched his head.
"Pretty sure I saw someone here just now… How'd they disappear in the blink of an eye? Could they be… hic… another Sequence Ability User like me?"
He tossed the liquor bottle into the trash bin. The glass hit the inside of the bin with a crisp clink.
"Hm? Feels kinda... empty?"
