Chapter 63 Vitality Plunder and Natural Absorption

"Talent [Nutrient Absorption] can be advanced in a certain direction——"

"Direction 1: [Vitality Plunder]. On the basis of [Nutrition Absorption], you can also feed yourself by plundering the vitality."

"Direction 2: [Natural absorption], on the basis of [nutrient absorption], you can also feed yourself by absorbing natural energy"

……

"Life plundering and natural absorption?"

When Lin Xuan saw the advancement direction given by the panel, he was slightly stunned.

Because the difference between the two choices this time is much greater than the choices faced when advancing to [Toddler Steps].

[Life Plunder], judging from the talent information, it is obvious that it is more inclined to the hunting and growth route, and the hunting target should be any living life.

[Natural Absorption] does not seem to be as overbearing as the former, but it can absorb additional natural energy as its own nourishment and accelerate growth.

"The directions given by the panel will not have any essential differences in quality, so what you need to consider is which one is more suitable for you."

Lin Xuan pondered secretly, "If I were born in a chaotic world, or in a strange world where I had to farm and hunt to make a living, then it would definitely be more appropriate to choose plundering, but now..."

After thinking about his current situation, Lin Xuan gradually sorted out his thoughts.

Whether at home or in the Taiyuan base, the conditions are obviously not available for him to choose [Life Plunder].

Even if this special training is over, there won't be much change in the short term.

When objective conditions do not allow this, [Life Plunder] can basically be ruled out.

"Natural absorption is undoubtedly more adaptable. No matter what environment you are in, you will be able to access natural energy. But since it and Vitality Plunder are both advanced, there must be advantages and disadvantages. Its disadvantage is most likely that its absorption speed or conversion rate is a little slower."

After comprehensive consideration, Lin Xuan finally determined the direction of advancement.

"Advanced - Natural Absorption!"

Lin Xuan's mind moved.

Just when Lin Xuan had chosen the direction of advancement, the staff's announcement came from the broadcast on the top of the cafeteria:
"The meal time will end in ten minutes. Students who haven't finished eating please hurry up."

"Brother Xuanxuan, do you still want to eat?"

When Xing Yan heard the notice on the radio, he secretly breathed a sigh of relief. Seeing that Lin Xuan had stopped eating, he immediately asked.

At this time, Lin Xuan had just upgraded [Nutrient Absorption] to [Natural Absorption]. After hearing Xing Yan's question, he came back to his senses and said:

"I'm almost full, let's go--"

When Lin Xuan said this, he patted his round belly.

However, Xing Yan seriously suspected that Lin Xuan was not full at all, and only decided to retreat because he heard the notice on the radio.

"Am I a little too much..." After coming to the conclusion that Lin Xuan was not full, Xing Yan couldn't help but blame himself again, "Brother Xuanxuan was just able to eat a little, and at best I just helped pass some food. It's just a small help, what on earth am I celebrating?"

Xing Yan, feeling deeply guilty, had an uneasy look on his face when he left with Lin Xuan.

The students who stayed behind to watch the fun quickly dispersed when they saw the main characters had left.

……

In the next two days, Lin Xuan was familiarizing himself with the newly advanced [Natural Absorption] talent and had a preliminary grasp of the characteristics of this talent.

"The absorption range is really wide, and the speed is also really slow."

Lin Xuan, who was sitting on the edge of the bed but could only half hang in the air because his short legs were not long enough, was playing with the lighter he had tricked Su Alei into giving him.

But he used a lighter to create a flame, and then put his other hand on the side of the flame.

Then, a magical scene appeared——

The flame on the lighter seemed to be sucked into an invisible vortex, and disappeared in an instant.

As the flame disappeared, Lin Xuan also released the ignition pin of the lighter.

At the same time, a prompt appeared in his mind: "Absorbing trace flames, primary energy +0.01"

Flame is undoubtedly a form of natural energy.

Lin Xuan has made many attempts in the past two days, and the most easily absorbable energy is flame.

He also tried to use [natural absorption] to absorb water, but water under normal conditions cannot bring energy, so this aspect remains to be explored.

In addition, electric current can also be absorbed, but its absorption range is currently relatively limited.

Obviously, the energy that can be absorbed by [natural absorption] are basically dynamic natural elements, rather than the traditional concepts of gold, wood, water, fire and earth.

As for the absorbed energy, he has currently figured out some uses for it.

The first use is that it can be converted into nutrients needed for body growth.

However, this conversion will involve a lot of losses. Based on his current findings, the efficiency of converting the energy absorbed in the same period of time into the nutrients needed by the body may not be as high as directly eating.

So this use is actually a bit wasteful.

Of course, this may also be because he is not yet proficient. Maybe things will be different after he becomes proficient.

In addition, the upgrade progress bar for the [Natural Absorption] talent is still in the single digits. It will definitely be different after you have been working on it for a while.

The second use is to replenish physical energy.

The natural energy he currently absorbs can all be stored in his body, and the total energy value is also displayed behind [Natural Absorption] in the talent column on the panel.

He is not sure yet whether there is an upper limit to the total storage value and what the upper limit is.

However, he can use this stored natural energy at any time.

It is worth mentioning that Lin Xuan feels that this second use may not be that simple.

"The first three realms of martial arts are collectively referred to as the physical training realm. Although the martial arts methods of each school are different, in the final analysis, they all use different methods to strengthen the body, so that it can be continuously strengthened until it reaches a certain stage of peak."

Lin Xuan recalled what his elder sister Lin Rou had said in his mind, "In every extraordinary professional system, martial artists are always criticized for their slow progress in the early stages, because the transformation of the first three realms of martial arts cannot be compared with most professions.

Only after reaching the fourth stage and refining the true qi can one be said to have undergone a complete transformation, and the fourth stage of martial arts is also known as the Qi Refining Stage. "

He had wondered before he knew all this. He had entered the martial arts profession, but at best he was just a little stronger and had quicker reactions. No matter how you looked at it, he could not be compared with other extraordinary professions.

It was not until I knew that the fourth realm of martial arts was the real transformation period for martial artists that I was able to resolve many of the confusions in my heart.

However, when Lin Xuan recalled this matter now, he mainly felt that the energy obtained from [natural absorption] could very likely be transformed into martial arts true energy.

"If that's the case, when I reach the fourth level, the combination of these two will probably produce another qualitative change."

Thinking of this, Lin Xuan couldn't help but feel a little excited.

"It's a pity that I haven't awakened my divine powers, otherwise, this energy absorbed naturally might also be able to work on my divine powers?"

Just as Lin Xuan was feeling a little regretful, the electronic watch on his right wrist suddenly vibrated.

This is the communicator issued to each student by the base. It can be used to communicate with the base, as well as have some additional practical functions.

At this moment, a notification for everyone to gather popped up on the watch.

"Is this the end of the fourth round of assessment?"

Lin Xuan calculated the time and guessed the reason for this gathering.

He immediately put away the lighter and jumped off the bed.

When he arrived at the door, the students living next door also came out one after another, and each of them guessed something:
"Finally here."

"Just waiting for them. I've been so idle these past few days."

"Let's go, let's go. Don't be late. If you are caught by Li Poker, it will be considered a minor violation."

Lin Xuan, who was not in a hurry at first, couldn't help but quicken his pace after hearing the name 'Li Poker'.
