Spirit Vision Talent

Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios

It was almost dawn. The birds chirped in the woods and a layer of pale white morning mist permeated the air, making it look like the land of immortals.

Li Siwen held an axe and stood in front of a big tree that had been cut down.

"Hey, you're still alive? Thank you for keeping watch."

Old Zhao, the logger, who had taught Li Siwen yesterday jumped out of the logging hut and looked around vigilantly. Holding his axe in one hand, he relieved himself in a clump of weeds. When he turned around, Li Siwen smiled shyly.

"Don't laugh, and don't get too close. I won't save you if we meet a gray wolf. It'll be good if I can save just myself. Those beasts run fast and are so smart. They never ever appear when Lord is around. Once Lord leaves, they will show up immediately."

After saying that, the old logger took a look at the big tree that Li Siwen had cut down and whistled. "The fracture is good, but the force is too weak. Aren't you going to sleep for a while? You won't be able to when the sun comes out."

"I can still—"

"Whatever! Damn, I'm starving."

Before Li Siwen could finish talking, the man rushed back into the logging hut cursing. It was wet outside and it was easy for his legs to ache after being chilled by the dew. Therefore, old experienced loggers like him preferred to work after the sun had risen.

Li Siwen turned around and looked into the mist in the distance, but what he was actually seeing was the Attribute Bar.

Name: Li Siwen (Durability 100%)

Health: 10

Stamina: 15

Strength: 5

Agility: 2

Defense: 0

Spirit: Grey (Development 15%)

Talent: Spirit Vision Level 1. After Spirit Development reaches 15%, there is a certain chance to master it. It will increase 1 level with each 10% increase in Spirit Development. Effect: For three minutes after activation, at the center, there will be a secondary spirit force field that can sense most dangers and lock in most attacks within a ten-meter radius.

Note 1: There will be no Spirit consumption for the first activation of Spirit Vision. The second activation requires three Spirit points, and the maximum limit is three minutes. The third activation requires five Spirit points, and the maximum limit is three minutes.

Note 2: The number of activations per unit of time depends on the quality of the Spirit. Grey Spirit can activate the skill three times every six hours (including forced activation).

Skills: Farming Level 1.

Yellow orb: 2 Spirit Points (obtained from beheading the snake)

"Not bad."

Li Siwen nodded in satisfaction. This Spirit Vision talent didn't appear out of the blue. It was the result of his trials and tribulations in the woods last night.

In other words, if he was afraid last night, wanted to be lazy, or treated it simply as a peculiar dream and thought no more of it, then he might not have this Spirit Vision. There was only a chance that he would have gotten it, it was not guaranteed.

If he missed it this time, he might be able to get it when his Spirit Development reached 20%. But ultimately, the sooner he had it, the better.

In addition to this Spirit Vision, he repeatedly observed the essence of the Rushing Thunder Chop and the way it struck when he was feeling exceptionally clear-headed the night before and modified it to suit his actions.

Hence, with this understanding, he only used 5 Stamina points when he cut down this big tree early this morning.

Also, although he had not slept all night, he didn't feel tired at all. Even the recovery of his Stamina was much more efficient than usual.

It had to be related to Spirit Development.

"All attributes do not exist as a single entity but should work and affect each other. They belong to a whole. Therefore, my previous thought that 15 Stamina points were a lot was shallow and wrong."

Li Siwen thought about it, then extracted a little Vitality value from the green orb and increased his Strength from 5 to 6 points.

In an instant, a warm current flowed through the body. He felt as though he had gained something. Especially when he held the iron axe and when he took steps on the ground, every action seemed to be easier and steadier.

"Is this Strength?"

There was a hint of excitement in Li Siwen's eyes. The feeling of adding Stamina and Strength was completely different.

The former made him healthier, gave him better endurance, and higher resistance. But it was not easily noticeable. Only when working long hours, in storms, and when faced with diseases, would one realize the preciousness of Stamina.

The latter was different. He could immediately feel the explosive, surging, strong impulse, and steely confidence.

Specifically—

Stamina represented health, resistance, prolonged endurance. It allowed him to remain smiling even when confronted with a cold or an epidemic.

Strength represented the ability to break through, confront, suppress, and be steadfast. It gave him the confidence to dance with the wolves and talk with tigers.

At this time Li Siwen chose another big tree. With just a first swing of his axe, he immediately felt a significant difference.

He could feel that he was able to resist most of the force rebounded from the tree trunk and was effectively able to suppress the tremor of the axe. Then, he was able to gather a strong, explosive, and concentrated force, and send it through the axe to the tree, chopping it ferociously!

This chop was worth three previous ones!

And this was just the effect of a small increase in Strength.

"Muscles and explosives are really men's favorites!"

Li Siwen sighed and gathered his thoughts. He constantly adjusted his breathing and the posture of his feet, adjusted the strength of his back muscles, the position of his hands, the height of the swing, the angle, etc. He tried to replicate as closely as possible the force of the Rushing Thunder Chop from last night. With just one chop of the axe, the whole tree trembled slightly.

This was already close to 60% of the effect of the logger Old Zhao's Rushing Thunder Chop. The only difference was the lack of sufficient Strength.

Twenty minutes later, the big tree in front of Li Siwen fell to the ground. He only consumed 4 Stamina points and gained 0.5 points of Vitality.

"Again!"

Li Siwen took a short rest and chose a big tree because he urgently needed to increase his Strength to 7 even though this would make his stamina drop to two points, which would put him in the very dangerous red zone.

However, he was very confident about what he was going to do next, the reason being those big fishes.

The heavy rain last night would leave enough rainwater in the big puddle to keep the big fishes alive. This was very filling food. If handled properly, there was no need to worry about the food in the next few days.

As for those gray wolves.

Haha, Li Siwen didn't believe that the militiaman and the other four loggers would still insist on returning to the territory after seeing those big fishes. As long as they didn't return to the territory, the chances of encountering the gray wolves who had already eaten their fill was very small.

As long as the number of gray wolves does not exceed ten, they wouldn't dare to actively provoke six armed people, having already filled their stomachs.

Of course, there were no absolutes in the world. Li Siwen didn't expect everything to go smoothly. Precisely for that reason, he had to increase his Strength to 7. Higher Strength meant higher damage.

With Spirit Vision, he was able to guarantee one-hit kills.

As for the recovery of Stamina, he was indeed a bit hungry now. He turned his head and looked at the black snake in the grass that was at least seven or eight pounds.

He would barbecue it!
