Chapter 69: Chapter 69: Strengthening the Heart.
For the two wolfesses that came to report,
Su Lin didn’t give them more food,
since the digestive capabilities of both wolfesses weren’t particularly strong,
and they were used to feeding only once every ten days or half a month.
Therefore,
the feeding frequency Su Lin had set for the Wolf Pack’s Hai wolves was once a week.
This was much better than other wolf packs that had unstable food sources.
Once a week, even during the best of times for the previous pack,
the treatment the two wolfesses enjoyed was nothing more than this.
A single Hai wolf would only eat around forty to fifty pounds of food in a month.
In this region, abundant with prey,
Su Lin could potentially expand the pack to thirty or even forty members of the Wolf Clan.
However,
he planned to take the route of a lean, elite force,
and for those in the Wolf Clan with little potential, having a few to carry out peripheral tasks like patrolling the territory would suffice.
Su Lin returned to the cave,
and the Little Lone Wolf, whose injuries had somewhat healed,
was still curled up in a corner of the cave, quietly tending to its wounds.
It was apparent that,
although the Little Lone Wolf had developed a sense of belonging to the pack,
and was amicable towards the other members,
its solitary nature still kept it from blending in with the pack.
Meanwhile, Xiao Hui, on guard duty, merely buried its head in its forelimbs,
not daring to look at the pack leader again.
Xiao Hui’s personality meant that it would never reach
the same level of ferocity and bravery as the Little Lone Wolf.
Therefore, Su Lin didn’t hold it against him,
and in the future, it would suffice for Xiao Hui to act as his assistant.
The loyalty of Xiao Hui was not in question.
Su Lin returned to his spot,
now his physical strength and energy were at their peak.
Su Lin decided it was time to use the Strengthening Serum.
Time to feel that scorching pain once again!
The Strengthening Serum
could break the genetic shackles,
and bring forth strength far surpassing one’s own limits.
“Ding! Would you like to use the Strengthening Serum?”
After Su Lin took out the Strengthening Serum, a pale grey prompt message appeared before him again.
“Use it,”
he nodded.
Then,
the hot energy within the wolf’s body surfaced once more,
this energy, Su Lin had experienced once before.
Hence, he had built up a preliminary endurance.
He didn’t let out a pained howl as he had last time.
This scorching energy started to circulate within his wolf body,
passing through his limbs, meridians, and bones,
wherever it went,
it felt as if it was being burnt by wild fire.
Soon,
after wandering within the body momentarily,
this energy rushed towards Su Lin’s vigorously beating heart,
the heart!
A brightness flashed before Su Lin’s eyes.
The heart and brain were the parts he wanted to strengthen the most.
Because these two were closely related to life itself.
But as the scorching energy entered the heart,
the pain intensified multiple times over!
Last time it was the right forepaw,
but this time it was the heart,
the most vital part!
The pain forced Su Lin to clench his wolf teeth tightly; it was as if hallucinations were appearing before his eyes!
Even though the temperatures in the Arctic were still below zero degrees, Su Lin was sweating profusely from the pain.
The sweat soaked his pure white fur.
Yet the pain continued unabated,
the energy was still roasting his throbbing heart.
The flesh, genes, and meridians of the heart were also undergoing subtle changes under this scorching energy!
After the agony persisted for half an hour,
there was still no sign of diminishing.
The heated energy was thoroughly roasting the heart,
leaving no spot untreated.
The heartbeat,
under the intense roasting of this energy, gradually grew stronger.
Then,
Su Lin’s entire wolf body was drenched in sweat,
yet he continued to grit his teeth and endure.
About another hour passed,
and that scalding energy was finally fully absorbed.
His heartbeat, now slow and powerful, had changed.
“Phew!”
At this moment, Su Lin took a deep breath, still somewhat traumatized by the recent pain.
Then he felt that after his heart was strengthened,
his entire body was filled with explosive strength.
Even his Qi-Blood felt much thicker.
Name: Su Lin.
Species: Arctic Wolf.
Level: 7. (Requires 1280 Evolution Points to upgrade.)
Vitality: 900.
Endurance: 90.
Strength: 90.
Defense: 90.
Speed: 160.
Evolution Points: 395.
Talent: Hunting (D-grade) Healing (C-grade).
After strengthening the heart,
the latest Attribute Panel appeared before his eyes.
This Attribute Panel made Su Lin’s eyes light up.
If last time strengthening the Wolf Claw only increased his Attack Power,
breaking the genetic shackles of the heart this time
led to an overall enhancement!
Each Attribute Point went up by 20, and the Vitality Value also increased by 200.
This was equivalent to an increase of two levels’ worth of attributes.
Su Lin’s size had not increased significantly,
but his strength was absolutely beyond compare to before.
He was now practically standing at the peak of the entire Arctic.
In the future, even if he left the Arctic,
he would be a deservedly formidable force in nature!
A Speed Value of 160,
this speed once again reached a new height.
His speed per second broke through to more than fifty meters.
Vitality, Strength, Endurance, and Defense all achieved a new level of enhancement.
Su Lin now had Qi-Blood far exceeding the limit of an Arctic Wolf.
His Endurance and Physical Strength subtly matched that of a Grizzly Bear.
Especially his Strength,
even a normal attack had reached the power of 90, and the attack power of his right claw would surge to around 130.
With such force,
one can say,
if he were to confront a Grizzly Bear again, he could easily slaughter it!
Even against a Polar Bear, he now possessed the ability to fight head-on.
Such a huge improvement
left Su Lin feeling elated for a long time.
He went to the entrance of the cave and let out a long howl to vent his joy.
“Ao!”
The sonorous howl of the wolf
echoed over the bright Arctic Tundra.
After his howl was complete,
Su Lin returned to the side of the Musk Ox corpse to continue feeding.
Enduring the intense pain for a full two hours,
he had expended a tremendous amount of energy and strength.
Only an ample supply of food could quickly replenish it.
Su Lin devoured the robust and delicious Musk Ox Meat in big bites,
meanwhile watching the Grizzly Bear Meat beside him,
he felt it was time
to go check on Wolf Dad and Wolf Mom.
With food becoming increasingly plentiful,
he could bring a considerable amount to Wolf Dad and Wolf Mom.
He wondered how the Wolf Pack led by Wolf Dad and Wolf Mom had been doing lately.
The territory ruled by Wolf Dad was not small either,
encompassing roughly six to seven hundred square kilometers, equivalent to the size of two to three small towns.
The warm season was arriving,
and a portion of the species were migrating back,
although most of them were large group animals like Musk Ox Groups or Reindeer Groups.
But for Wolf Dad and Wolf Mom, who had rich experience in hunting, they should have also had their harvest.
