Leaning against a big tree, Jason breathed in and out, feeling powerful at this very moment.
It seemed like an illusion.
But the text before his eyes was telling him that everything was real—
[War Pattern Breathing Technique, Griffin Body Refinement Technique, Prus Body Refinement Technique fusion determination in progress...]
[Determination successful!]
[Obtained War Pattern.Prus.Griffin Body Refinement Technique!]

(Note: The special training method makes it destined to be extraordinary and increasingly unique. The level of [War Pattern.Prus.Griffin Body Refinement Technique] cannot exceed [Protection Against Evil])
[Determination that War Pattern.Prus.Griffin Body Refinement Technique has undergone fundamental change, innate talent changing in progress...]
[Determination passed!]
[Acquired innate talents 'Daytime Hunt''Embrace of the Night''Sword of Chen Xi']
[Daytime Hunt: The unique talent of War Pattern Breathing Technique has fused into your soul; when you are in daylight or in sunlight, you will receive an all attributes +0.2 special effect, and your physical strength, energy, wound recovery speed will increase by 5%, and you can expend 10%-100% of your physical strength to make a quick attack that adds +0.1-1 to your agility determination!]

[War Pattern.Prus.Griffin Body Refinement Technique] brought Jason the most direct change.
With this increase, Jason's attributes became: Strength 3.5, Agility 3.3, Constitution 3.8, Spirit 2.5, Perception 4.4!
This is the data after retaining the original [War Pattern Breathing Technique] and then improved once more.
The all-around enhancement of attributes is one of the reasons Jason felt powerful.
Then there's the improvement in recovery capability, a full 30% recovery bonus, which gave Jason an even greater sense of security, and the explosive-level defense allowed him to breathe a sigh of relief.
At least the next time he faced a barrage of bullets, he wouldn't have to worry about the consumption of his satiety.
The added bonuses during hand-to-hand combat, jumping, and diving made him even more versatile, just as the increases in power of [Daytime Hunt][Embrace of the Night][Sword of Chen Xi].
And the continuous changes in Stealth and Concealment levels made Jason feel even quieter.
Jason looked at the properties of [Daytime Hunt] and some thoughts involuntarily sprang to mind.
Of course, Jason's gaze quickly moved downward.
Because that wasn't all he gained.
['Secret Keeper' profession advancement information gathering in progress...]
[Gathering successful!]
[1, Perception above 3 (complete)!]
[2, Communication with foreign entities (complete)!]
[3, Feel (or be aware of) at least 3 indescribable beings (complete)!]
[Determined 'Secret Keeper' profession advancement prerequisites passed!]
[Advancement successful!]
[Secret Keeper advanced to Secret Keeper♦ successfully!]
[Acquired exclusive feat: Keeping Secrets II]
[Keeping Secrets II: You safeguard that secret, vowing never to reveal it! This commitment fills your heart with torment, yet in exchange, you gain special power! Effect: Buff one's own attribute, giving it a permanent increase of +0.5.]
(Note: This special power belongs to a neutral force, and it's up to you to decide its alignment!)
Instantly, Jason, who already had 4.4 Perception, once again gained a leap.
With perception more than five times that of a normal person, Jason's range of perception expanded once more.
And when he closed his eyes, the advancement of his [Night Watcher] profession's [Blind Fighting] immediately added an extra 0.3 to his perception.
With almost six times the perception of a normal person, he could sense the creatures crawling stealthily underground.
It also allowed him to hear the flapping of insect wings in mid-air.
Jason, with his eyes closed, remained so for a long while before he opened them.
He looked at [Keeping Secrets II].
Without any hesitation, he chose to enhance [Constitution].
Because he was well aware that his greatest advantage was his 'undying trait', and to maximize the advantage of the 'undying trait,' the body was the foundation of everything.
