Chapter 109: Chapter 107: Top Grade Wisdom Heart

That night, Wang Wu slept soundly, so by the next morning, he was in an unprecedentedly good mood.

When he got up, all the bones in his body were crackling incessantly. He felt that from the day before yesterday to today, he had grown at least five centimeters taller and his weight had increased by more than ten kilograms.

However, this growth did not bring an increase in basic attributes; instead, only a new attribute changed.

Yes, since eating the unformed Acupoint Opening Demon Pill of the Big Head Water Thief the night before yesterday and leveling up the Heart of the Earth to Level 2, this new attribute appeared.

At that time, he was eager to escape, and with so much information appearing, he didn’t focus on it.

This new attribute seems to be associated with satiety, so it appeared below the satiety level.

[Vitality: 150/500]

Wang Wu specifically looked back for a long time to find the information related to Vitality.

“Because you have entered the third growth stage of your life and have leveled up the Heart of the Earth Talent to Level 2, you have gained a new life evolution feature—Vitality.”

“The specific value is related to your satiety and weight, as follows.

“First, when you consume Upper-Grade and above quality food, the satiety gained will prioritize the consumption of the Healing Talent. If the Healing Talent is not activated at the current time, 50% of the satiety will be used for your body’s growth, and the remaining 50% will continue to be refined into Vitality. This Vitality cannot exceed the limit, and if you’re severely injured and have insufficient satiety, the Vitality can seamlessly connect to the Healing Talent, with a specific exchange rate of 1:10.”

“Friendly reminder: Ordinary food can only provide the satiety needed to sustain life and will burden you with excess fat, without being refined into Vitality. From this moment on, avoiding junk food is a rule you must adhere to.”

“Second, if your weight does not decrease for a month, you will gain a certain amount of Vitality. The specific formula is: 100 kilograms of weight can gain 1 point of Vitality per month. Your current status does not meet the conditions for accumulating Vitality.”

“Friendly reminder: While long-term consumption of ordinary food will increase your weight, it will not allow you to gain Vitality.”

“Warning: Long-term consumption of ordinary food may slowly decrease your basic attributes, which might cause the degeneration of the Bloodline Talent! Reduction of lifespan, even premature death!”

“Suggestion: Better to stay hungry than not seek out Upper-Grade and above quality food.”

―――

“I see!”

Wang Wu thought. The appearance of Vitality is somewhat akin to the fat-storing talent of bears, except that the quality level of Vitality is undoubtedly higher and the requirements are more stringent.

This can be understood because the nutrients provided by ordinary food certainly cannot support a stronger body.

Like the whales on Earth, without the help of seawater to bear their weight, try it on land?

If he gained 30 tons of excess fat, could he still fight? He would just crush himself.

“Therefore, my previous understanding of the growth stage was somewhat one-sided. It’s not just the growth from youth to adulthood; it’s an evolution, an evolution reflected in the individual.”

“Ordinary life races evolve over time spans of thousands or tens of thousands of years, usually based on tens of millions, even hundreds of billions in number. Such evolution is hard to manifest in individuals. After a few decades, what kind of evolution could happen?”

“But the reason the Bloodline of Barbaric Ancient Bears is formidable is because it can place this evolution on the individual.”

“And this evolution can also be understood through cultivation.”

“It seems that in the future, I indeed need to adjust some living habits and behavioral patterns because where would I get Upper-Grade food without actively attacking?”

Wang Wu smiled wryly inside, Upper-Grade food is better than ordinary food but doesn’t reach Ninth Grade level. Yet, such food is indeed hard to come by.

Fortunately, this Vitality overall is still very good.

He now has a 500-point Vitality limit, meaning he can store the energy equivalent to 5,000 points of satiety at most, which is quite comfortable.

As long as the Vitality is full, whether to fight or flee, he would feel more secure.

Not to mention this is simply a divine skill for dormancy.

Moreover, it’s extremely friendly for the Healing Talent.

With a current satiety limit of 1,200 points, it just allows Level 10 Self-Healing to activate six times.

Now, when he looked at his satiety, it was over 3,000 last night, but now only 1,180 points are left this morning. At least half turned into Vitality, plus the consumption from the day before yesterday and yesterday, no wonder he was able to accumulate 150 points of Vitality. This means he again stored 1,500 points of satiety.

And the decrease in satiety means he can again enter Level 10 Passive Concealment at any time.

Wang Wu couldn’t help but feel his sense of security slowly rising, +1+1.

The harvest from killing the Big Head Water Thief could finally be safely digested at this moment.

“Second Brother, Third Brother, stop sleeping, hurry up and bask in the sun, strive to cultivate, refine flesh and blood, strengthen the body, West Mountain Three Heroes, invincible!”

Niu Aihua was yelling again with a loud voice, and still saying this kind of idealistic talk, it’s really unsolvable.

But what was even more exasperating was Pork Belly, who jumped up with a jolt, his large head rapidly scanning around, drool streaming from his long snout.

“Delicious food? Where, where!”

“Wake up! Quickly wake up, Second Brother, it’s morning!”

Niu Aihua was also speechless; was eating really that important?

He ate grass all the time, yet he was still plump and strong, with unrivaled strength.

“Come on, Third Brother, let’s go bask in the sun. It’s a rare chance here at the Divine Temple; those scoundrels from the Ten Thousand Beasts Alliance wouldn’t dare to misbehave.”

But Wang Wu simply shook his head, refusing to go, and closed his eyes to pretend he was still sleeping.

“Alright then, Third Brother, why are you so lazy? It’s like all you do is sleep and poop every day. Do you know anything else? Let me tell you, I just saw a Female Demon, Eighth-Grade Sheep Demon, her gentle eyes, her silky wool, and that extremely elastic…”

“Big Brother, let’s go. If Third Brother doesn’t want to go, don’t force him; don’t lead him astray. Let’s go ahead and bask in the sun first.”

Having sobered up from thoughts of food, Pork Belly quickly said, even though he was greedy he wouldn’t neglect the important things.

After they left, Wang Wu leisurely walked to the side, dug a hole, and began his daily warmth-giving routine. There was no choice; there was no small river here, nor could he leave the valley’s perimeter. Luckily, the Gray Fox wasn’t here, or else, alas, the scene would be indescribable.

But then he saw a swarm of several hundred dung beetles rush by like a mudslide, startling Wang Wu. After taking a closer look, he quickly escaped.

However, he couldn’t help but entertain a bold thought: perhaps, for those dung beetles, this was also a heaven-sent opportunity?

“Stop! Stop!”

Wang Wu frantically shook his head, shaking off this crazy idea, and then wandered around the forest.

Given the towering ancient trees in the valley, with dense canopies blocking out sunlight, Niu Aihua, Pork Belly, and the other Demons went to the cliff, so the area here was surprisingly tranquil.

As he was walking, he saw two Little Tree Spirits jump down from the tree canopy, joining forces to carry a basket of berries, delivering breakfast to him once more.

Unfortunately, he couldn’t say thank you.

All he could do was nod as a gesture, and the two Little Tree Spirits nodded back at him, seemingly smiling, then silently departed after placing the basket down.

Oh dear, is the Plant Affinity Talent working now?

Wang Wu looked around and, not waiting for Niu Aihua and Pork Belly, began devouring the food voraciously.

This basket of berries wasn’t much, only about fifty pieces, but they were large, like strawberries; the important thing was they tasted delicious, even better than those planted by the Gray Mouse Knight.

This was genuine gourmet food. Eating just one would give 10 Points Satiety and 1 Point Spiritual Qi.

Wang Wu ate like a whirlwind sweeping away clouds, and the small basket magically transformed into wild grass, growing on the ground, very mystical.

“Sigh, it seems a bit unfair to Old Niu and Little Pig. Next time, next time I’ll save half a piece for each of you.”

Patting his belly, Wang Wu chuckled to himself and was about to continue napping under the big tree when he heard a somewhat familiar voice.

“Benefactor, I didn’t expect we’d meet again so soon. I was truly happy when I heard my elder sister mentioning it yesterday.”

Wang Wu followed the voice to see Cao Li Heng, the Little Tree Spirit, standing on a branch a meter away, smiling, vibrant, seemingly different.

“Benefactor, you wouldn’t believe it, but thanks to you, I endured those two Demon King Level mixed toxins last time, so I’ve advanced now; I’m currently Seventh Grade.”

Wang Wu nodded; that’s all he could do as he couldn’t speak.

The Little Tree Spirit continued, “I heard that Benefactor wanted to purchase the Creation Wisdom Heart Pill, but my elder sister specifically stopped it because you deserve better. We Tree Spirits are the companion race of the Ancient Tree, closely related to Grandpa Tree. While those powerful Spirit Pills might be beyond reach, within our capabilities, how could we let Benefactor suffer any grievance?”

“My elder sister and I discussed and prepared two small gifts for Benefactor. Please do not decline; you saved my life and granted me the opportunity for advancement. This is gratitude I can never repay.”

As he spoke, Cao Li Heng somehow produced a small bean-sized object, resembling both solid and liquid, yet seemingly condensed from light into an ethereal form.

This object was crystal clear, yet could reflect all the light and shadows of the world.

Extremely magical.

“Benefactor, using my privileges, I purchased this Top-grade Wisdom Heart Pill from Grandpa Tree’s upper-level Divine Temple. Once ingested, it will not only allow you to understand human speech but also bring other benefits. Please take it quickly.”

This time, Wang Wu didn’t hesitate at all, quickly took it, and consumed it in one gulp. However, there was no sensory feedback from ingestion; the Top-grade Wisdom Heart Pill was like air, silently permeating every part of his body.

A few seconds later, he suddenly clutched his throat, feeling as though it was being melted by a blazing fire, yet not painful.

Moreover, what melted wasn’t the actual body tissues but a mysterious, recreating organ for speaking.

At that moment, he suddenly could speak.
