32: Upgrade path

Just as Lin Tianwei closed his eyes to explore the capabilities of Ultrasonic Wave, the security guards in the Arena were not idle.

They cleaned and repaired the battlefield while chatting.

“Damn it, Hellas actually lost.”

“How could he lose?”

“Why did that Siberian Tiger win?”

“I told you a long time ago not to be overly confident, and especially not to participate in activities that can make you lose everything.”

“These mutated beasts are full of unknowns. Before the winner is decided, no one knows which one will be the true victor.”

“Even those expert professors don't claim to be certain in their judgments, yet here you are, challenging their expertise with your amateurism.”

“Just focus on cleaning up the battlefield. With this much destruction, we’re going to be busy.”

Facing his companion’s advice, the first security guard, named Hector, remained silent for a long time before finally speaking:

“I was indeed wrong.”

“However, what I was wrong about wasn't placing a bet, but choosing the wrong betting object.”

“I should have trusted this powerful Siberian Tiger.”

“He is the king here; he can never fail.”

Shaking his head in disappointment, the first security guard gave up trying to persuade Hector.

People who lose their reason like this, unless the goddess of luck always favors them, will eventually sink into the abyss.

He had already said what needed to be said.

Saying more would be unnecessary.

Shaking his head, he continued to tidy the ground.

The ground, damaged by Lin Tianwei, was now riddled with pits.

Yet, they didn't have time to repair it.

After a simple burial, they had already decided to leave.

This was the normal state of this Arena.

What was sacrificed was not only these mutated fierce beasts.

But also this scarred ground.

Every mark was the result of a great battle between fierce beasts!—

Behind the copper walls and iron barriers, Lin Tianwei was using Ultrasonic Wave to examine the internal information of his body.

As expected, he discovered two small objects in his brain.

One should be the so-called current generator.

The effect of the other was unknown, but it certainly had some unknown effect.

The people at Ismail Institute would never do anything meaningless.

Lin Tianwei was slightly startled; it seemed he had underestimated how wary these humans were of him.

They went straight for double insurance.

At the same time, he breathed a sigh of relief, glad he hadn't acted rashly.

Otherwise, the other device would definitely have given him a surprise.

Although he was now almost immune to Electricity Immunity, he might not be able to withstand another unknown attack.

How to break the situation?

This was the urgent problem Lin Tianwei needed to consider.

The simplest method was naturally to cut them out alive.

Relying on his powerful Self-healing Ability.

Performing surgery on himself by force.

To remove the hidden hands left on him by the Research Institute.

However, this plan had two difficulties.

Firstly, limited by the physical structure of the Siberian Tiger, it was almost impossible for Lin Tianwei to perform surgery on himself.

His paws, though not too stiff, could not move as freely as a human's.

Furthermore, he had absolutely no ability to grasp things precisely.

Secondly, after removing these two devices, it would be equivalent to showing his hand to the Research Institute and declaring all-out war.

Without absolute overwhelming strength, Lin Tianwei doing so would be nothing short of inviting trouble.

Although his flesh and blood were powerful, they were not strong enough to shake steel.

However, allowing these two hidden dangers to remain in his brain also made Lin Tianwei restless.

He had to find a way, a way to completely resolve the hidden dangers in his brain.

Suddenly, a flash of inspiration struck Lin Tianwei.

Machines, though useful, had a fatal weakness.

That is, they require signal transmission to react accordingly.

He only needed to block the receiving signals of these two devices to completely resolve his security concerns.

As for how to block them?

The previous Lin Tianwei might have had no way at all, but the emergence of the Ultrasonic Wave Talent gave him inspiration.

If he could acquire a Talent for emitting electricity.

Perhaps he could construct a defensive network to block or affect the signals transmitted to these two devices.

In other words, even though they were still near his brain, they would have become completely useless.

However, this idea still required the acquisition of new Talents as support.

Lin Tianwei was now like a clever housewife who couldn't cook without rice.

As for using Talent fragments to synthesize random Talents?

The randomness was too high; it was completely unreliable.

Instead, it would waste a large amount of his accumulated resources.

He sighed. Although he wanted to resolve the hidden dangers in his brain.

But Lin Tianwei knew that now was not the time to rush.

It was better to continue strengthening his own strength, so that he would be sufficient to cope with all real battles.

A flash of inspiration!

Lin Tianwei suddenly had an idea.

Could he upgrade the Talents he already possessed?

If he relied solely on extraction and random synthesis, then improving his strength would undoubtedly consume a lot of unnecessary resources.

Thinking of this, Lin Tianwei looked at his panel.

Name: Lin Tianwei;

Species: Siberian Tiger;

Gender: Male;

Attributes: Strength 50, Constitution 40, Agility 20, Mental Power 30;

Physical Condition: 90% (Excellent);

Talents: Self-healing Ability (Intermediate), Charged Cells (Intermediate);

Ultrasonic Wave (Normal);

Tigers Might (Unranked), Enhanced Smell (Unranked), Diving (Unranked), Strength Enhancement (Unranked), Hind Limb Enhancement (Unranked), Endurance (Unranked), Tiger Claw Reinforcement (Unranked), Special Tongue (Unranked), Electricity Immunity (Unranked), Anesthesia Resistance (Normal);

Evaluation: Congratulations, you have arrived at a gourmet paradise full of food!

Just be a little careful, and you will be able to plunder enough nutrients for your growth.

One day, you will be powerful enough to Fearless any creature.

Unconsciously, through repeated killings, Lin Tianwei had already acquired a large number of Talents.

Under the accumulation of these Talents, his attributes had also surged.

However, none of these were the main point; the main point was to find a way to upgrade Talents.

Thinking of this, Lin Tianwei looked at the Talent he possessed: Ultrasonic Wave (Normal).

The combat power increased by this skill might not be as intuitive, but it was indispensable.

It could be used for reconnaissance and information gathering.

It could also be used as an invisible offensive method to attack mutated beasts around him.

Plundering their Talents as a cornerstone to strengthen himself!

If this Talent could be upgraded, Lin Tianwei's combat power would be greatly enhanced.

As the idea of upgrading Talents emerged, a prompt suddenly popped up in front of Lin Tianwei:

“Ding, Host has chosen to upgrade Talent: Ultrasonic Wave (Normal).”

“After investing enough Talent fragments or low-level Talents, this skill will be upgraded!”

Lin Tianwei's face lit up with joy; he really did have a way to upgrade existing Talents.

Looking at his reserves, Lin Tianwei unhesitatingly fed the Talent: Third Eye (Normal) to the Talent: Ultrasonic Wave (Normal).

This unused Talent, being able to turn into nourishment for the Talent: Ultrasonic Wave (Normal), was also a good use of resources.

As the Talent: Third Eye (Normal) disappeared, a progress bar appeared below the Talent: Ultrasonic Wave (Normal), showing 20%.
