Fortunately, the advancement speed of mutated beasts is quite fast, and their danger level is not considered high.
In less than three minutes, the Cyclops had completed its advancement.
The massive energy absorbed before the advancement quickly transformed into the nutrients needed by its body, promoting growth in size on one hand, and on the other, shaping the Cyclops' level five skills!
Beastial Activation (A-rank, passive ability): This skill unleashes the wild beast nature hidden deep within the host, significantly enhancing the host's close combat melee capabilities and increasing the melee attack power (equivalent to the power at the moment of attack) by one hundred percent! At the same time, it adds a certain level of defense-ignoring effect to the host's attacks.
Wen Yu carefully read the skill description, furrowing his brow as he pondered the skill combinations of the Cyclops.
The combination of Destiny Fight and Flesh and Blood Chapter, both of which are s-rank skills, destined the Cyclops' combat style to be one of frenzy and fearlessness!
And the Fury of the Inferno would provide the Cyclops with more attack methods.
As for the Brutal Strike, it would become the Cyclops' most frequently used single-target attack skill.
From this perspective, the newly emerged Beastial Activation skill is quite good for the Cyclops' ability system—its level is decent and its practicality is also good.
At this moment, Wen Yu began to consider the issue of skill combinations.
Skills that can complement each other are definitely much stronger than two skills of the same rank that do not interact with each other!
Silently contemplating the issue of skills, he thought, "As a Lone Walker, if one does not engage in cooperative combat, theoretically, one should integrate skills such as attack, defense, healing, and even curse dispelling to face all situations alone..."
Thinking of this, Wen Yu shook his head helplessly.
In reality, being a Lone Walker is not that easy!
Of course, Wen Yu is an exception!
The profession of soul master guaranteed the diversity of Wen Yu’s skills. Even if there are some skills Wen Yu doesn’t possess, he can still contract a soul pet with those capabilities.
At that moment, a slight vibrating sound interrupted Wen Yu's thoughts.
"How do you feel, buddy?"
Seeing that the Cyclops had awakened and was adapting to its suddenly increased size, Wen Yu couldn’t help but tease.
“Woof woof... Wuu... cough cough cough...”
Strange sounds kept coming from the mouth of the Cyclops, and then the sounds became richer until a stammering voice emerged.
“Feeling... awesome... Big Boss!”
The voice was somewhat deep, and the tone and timbre were very strange. It was hard to describe the feeling; anyone who suddenly heard such a tone and timbre would definitely feel goosebumps.
However, Wen Yu did not feel any goosebumps; all that remained for him was surprise and shock.
“You can talk now?”
The Cyclops lay on the ground, perhaps still adjusting to its sudden changes. Hearing Wen Yu's question, its huge dog head nodded directly.
Then a mental wave was transmitted from the Cyclops' mind.
“Changing the vocal cord structure, a level five mutated beast has very strong control over its body, allowing it to manipulate its vocal cords to simulate human voices, but it's quite troublesome and feels useless...”
Upon hearing this, Wen Yu was at a loss for how to react.
It seemed he was being educated by the Cyclops?
Moreover, Wen Yu thought of another point.
With the rise in the level of mutated beasts, their intelligence continuously improves, and now high-level mutated beasts can even control their vocal cords...
It’s hard to imagine if one day mutated beasts could control their skeletal structures and even muscle tissues, transforming into human forms. In that case, what difference would there be between mutated beasts and humans?
Even if they believe that human aesthetics differ from theirs and disdain becoming human, as the intelligence of mutated beasts significantly rises, they might form a social group suitable for their species and even establish a kingdom somewhere without knowing it...
