Chapter 192: Chapter 154: Strengthening the Brain.
```
The Earth had been scorched red by the flames of war, and countless lives withered and perished in the struggle between humans and mutant creatures.
When the four major decisions were truly agreed upon, everyone knew that the future of this world was likely to become even more turbulent and unstable.
In this gamble, humanity was not just risking the lives of thousands of elite soldiers, but its position as the global hegemon as well.
If they were to lose, humanity might never recover.
Beyond that, following this meeting,
the top figures from all influential factions returned to their domains to establish New Human Academies!
The Science Alliance was also working tirelessly to research technology weapons suitable for New Humans, with all humans making ample preparations to clear out the exotic beasts.
Furthermore, within their respective systems, a ranking index for New Human powerhouses was established, with the listed powerhouses gaining rights and prestige beyond ordinary humans.
This made New Humans in every major power even more eager to climb the ladder of strength.
As for exploring areas like the signal-less Arctic, Antarctic, and tropical rainforests, the factions hesitated.
After all, with the bonus of a satellite signal—a god-like perspective—humans were still embroiled in a bloody struggle with the powerful mutant creatures.
Without the god-like perspective, in nearly unknown regions, who knew what they might encounter?
Especially without satellite signals, many high-tech weapons reliant on them, such as drone swarms and automated tracking missiles, would be rendered useless!
Amid these worries, the factions decided to send only a small part of their forces to explore, so even if they were entirely wiped out, it wouldn't be a significant loss.
....
It was during this time,
in the icy, snowy lands, that Su Lin had fully utilized his Talent Serum.
Of the remaining two vials of Talent Serum, one further strengthened his Wolf Howl Talent, bringing it to a B-Level.
The B-Level Wolf Howl Talent was a much more significant upgrade compared to the C-Level.
[Wolf Howl]: B-Level (upgradeable), Active Talent.
Enables the launch of Wolf's Howl Sound Wave attacks, with a Speed of three times the speed of sound, affecting a range of ten kilometers, and the Attack Power being one-third of the host's Peak Attack Power.
Number of Attacks: 10.
Cooldown Period: 24 hours.
Note: Exceeding 10 times will enter a Cooldown Period. During this time, forcibly using the Wolf Howl Talent will deduct a large amount of Vitality Value.
The B-Level Wolf Howl Talent not only saw Speed and range enhancements but also a very noticeable increase in Attack Power.
Even without the Hunting Talent activated, Su Lin's one-third Peak Attack Power boasted over two hundred points of Strength Value, equivalent to the explosive power of several tons.
This kind of explosive force would shatter the hearts and organs of even an African Elephant, not to mention a Polar Bear, under a single howl.
And if the Hunting Talent were activated, the Might of the Howl would near five hundred points of Attack Power, powerful enough to shatter stone with sound alone.
If he were to encounter a Variant Species Grizzly Bear or the Variant Species Reindeer King again, they would find it much less easy to withstand the Might of the Howl than they did today.
Besides strengthening the Wolf Howl Talent again, another vial of Talent Serum was used to enhance the Healing Talent.
[A-Level Healing Talent Enhancement Progress 1/5, upon completion, will advance to an S-Level Healing Talent.]
"One-fifth?"
Su Lin looked at the pale gray message before his eyes.
It was apparent that the difficulty level of enhancing a Talent from A to S had increased considerably; it was not something that could be achieved with a single vial of Talent Serum.
But thinking about it made sense.
After all, the Variant Species King Squid he encountered in the deep sea, despite its invincible power, had not evolved an S-Level Talent, which indicated the difficulty of S-Level Talent.
Yet the greater the difficulty, the more potent the power of an S-Level Talent would be.
The Healing Talent, which had already reached a recovery speed five hundred times faster, could be further accelerated by consuming Physical Strength!
Thus, once the Talent evolved to S-Level, Su Lin could hardly imagine the extent of its capability.
Once the evolution was complete, his survivability would reach an unprecedented level.
With this thought, Su Lin stretched his lupine body without dwelling further.
Having used three vials of Talent Serum, he had significantly boosted his abilities.
The successive upgrades of the Wolf Howl Talent meant that Su Lin's attacks would become increasingly unpredictable.
Next,
surrounded by the Wolf Pack, Su Lin took out the remaining vial of Strengthening Serum.
The increase in strength provided by the Strengthening Serum was also substantial.
The abundant power contained within Su Lin's wolf body, after being enhanced by numerous Strengthening Serums, was beyond comparison with Variant Species.
Many parts of Su Lin's wolf form had already been enhanced.
The only remaining parts were the wolf head, flesh and blood, skeletal system, wolf tail, the other three Wolf Claws, and some internal organs.
Whichever part was strengthened, it would bring no small improvement.
He had already experienced the searing pain that came with the use of the Strengthening Serum numerous times.
"Ding! Do you wish to use the Strengthening Serum?"
"Use it."
There was not a moment of hesitation in Su Lin at that moment.
Soon, that familiar burning energy once again coursed through the Wolf Pack's limbs and body.
This boiling energy roamed his wolf body for quite some time, and Su Lin, who had grown accustomed to the ensuing burning pain, paid it no mind.
