Chapter 3: Chapter 3: Can I, a Human, Also Use Skills?
"Is there a limit to the number of times?"
Vincent Wolf was worried. The qualifications to enter the Mysterious Realm were not easily obtained. He could only apply once every half a month, and each time there was a limit to the number of places.
"Forget it, let's start the simulation!"
[Simulation Begins:]
[On the first day of entering the Water Mysterious Realm, you find yourself transformed into a Slime. You are initially panicked, but you still retain the memories of your last simulation and soon calm down.]
[On the second day, you stay in an island, practicing [Spit Water] and [Rush], but your progress is slow, so you decide to explore outside the island tomorrow.]
[On the third day, you leave the island to explore. Not far from the island, you run into a Bubble Turtle. Before the Bubble Turtle can react, you ambush it, achieving a complete victory.]
[Disliking the Bubble Turtle, you decide to devour it. Your growth level reaches Awakening Level 4, but your species level does not increase.]
[On the fourth day, avoiding the path of the Swordfish, your journey of battles begins.]
[This time, you've become smarter. Before each battle, you make an advance estimate of the opponent's combat power and only ambush when you ensure you're not directly confronting the enemy.]
[After a day of hard work, you devour dozens of pet beasts. Your level has increased to Awakening Level 8, but your species level has not.]
[On the fifth day, you ambush a Slippery Rune. Because of the Slippery Rune's traits, the [Rush] did significantly less damage and your ambush failed. This made the Slippery Rune extremely angry.]
[Slippery Rune is a High-level Extraordinary Species. You're no match for it and have to flee for many kilometers before you get rid of it.] free(w)ebnovel(.)com
[While fleeing, you have a moment of insight and comprehend [Rapid Movement].]
"...Could it be that my hidden Beast-controlling Talent is insight?"
[On the sixth day, you are chased to an unfamiliar area. Feeling uneasy, you hide and observe your surroundings for any potential hazards.]
[On the seventh day, having observed no danger, you enter an island and begin practicing [Rapid Movement].]
[On the eighth day, you practice [Rapid Movement]. You are extremely compatible with [Rapid Movement], and your skill proficiency quickly increases from beginner to adept.]
[...]
[On the twelfth day, you continue to practice [Rapid Movement], your proficiency goes from adept to skilled. You believe there is still much room for improvement, so you continue to practice.]
[...]
[On the fiftieth day, while practicing [Rapid Movement], a human found you. He challenges you, and you defeat him, leaving him in shock.]
[On the fifty-first day, under the guidance of that defeated human, a group of humans finds you and challenge you.]
[You manage to defeat them, leaving them shocked. Your growth level has reached Awakening Level 9.]
[On the fifty-second day, you continue to fight without getting tired. However, you are defeated by a human female and humiliated by being tamed and taken out of the Mysterious Realm.]
[Simulation Ended.]
[After the simulation, you can choose to retain certain benefits:]
[Option 1: Retain the memories of the simulation, including all learned knowledge, skills, and combat experiences.]
[Option 2: Retain species level.]
[Option 3: Retain growth level.]
"I didn't expect that leaving the Mysterious Realm would also end the simulation. But why am I so tenacious about it? Although I quite like it."
"This time I ate more than ten pet beasts and still haven't upgraded my species level. It seems the probability is indeed very low."
Before getting to work, sharpen the axe first. Choosing the first option again, Vincent Wolf and Slime gained the memories of those fifty-two days.
He also saw what the girl who defeated him looked like.
Vincent Wolf was angry. He remembered the girl who defeated him. She had confessed to his predecessor before.
Unfortunately, his predecessor was not interested in women and was only obsessed with powerful pet beasts. From then on, this girl had always been at odds with him and often came to provoke him.
"Don't let me catch you, or I'll beat you up."
After being determined, he looked at Slime's panel.
There was a new skill in the skill list: Rapid Movement (Expert). The growth level also increased by 1 level due to this expert skill, reaching Awakening Level 4.
Other than that, nothing significant had changed.
Vincent Wolf tossed Slime onto the ground. It had obviously become much stronger.
Having obtained the memories of over a hundred days, Vincent Wolf felt through the Beast Control Contract that Slime's spiritual wisdom seemed to have increased significantly. At least it could barely understand what Vincent was saying now.
Slime was hopping around, adjusting to its suddenly increased power.
"Slime, use [Spit Water]!" Vincent Wolf conveyed the information to Slime through the contract.
After receiving the information, Slime mobilized its Water Attribute Energy. A thick jet of water suddenly shot out like a high-pressure water gun on a large stone, creating a fist-sized hole on its surface.
Vincent Wolf nodded slightly. The effect of the skill was similar to what he remembered of his own practice.
However, when Slime was using its skill, Vincent always had a strange feeling that he couldn't describe.
"Slime, use [Rush]!"
Slime mobilizes its energy and its body becomes visibly stronger. The energy propels its body to crash rapidly towards the big stone, making a loud bang. The stone shakes slightly, and a bun-sized concave dent appears on its surface.
"Use [Rapid Movement] again!" Realizing something, Vincent hurriedly said.
After demonstrating the [Rush], Slime recovers and immediately uses [Rapid Movement]. A pale blue afterimage quickly passes around Vincent, so fast that he can't react at all.
After Slime had demonstrated all the skills, Vincent, suppressing his inner excitement, calmed his mind and communicated with the energy produced by meditation in his body.
A weak energy emerges on the surface of his body. Vincent grasps the essence of it and naturally uses [Rapid Movement].
Perhaps due to insufficient energy or his large body size his speed is only half of Slime's, and the duration isn't as long, but he's already ecstatic!
"I can actually use skills!"
Vincent grabbed Slime and gave it several big smooches. The jelly-like, springy touch almost made him bite it impulsively.
"Let's try other skills!"
He tried both [Rush] and [Spit Water] and found that neither worked well.
[Rush] feels like an amateur martial arts enthusiast throwing a sloppily executed lunge, only managing to make someone stumble a few meters away.
If [Rush] can be said to have some effect, then [Spit Water] is a problem. His internal energy doesn't have the Water Attribute, so he can't produce water out of thin air.
He needs to take a mouthful of water first to be able to properly use [Spit Water].
As for its power, if he retains a mouthful of water beforehand, the power is not bad, as it can create a bruise when hitting someone. But without retaining a mouthful of water beforehand, he can only spit saliva a few meters away.
It's quite useful for disgusting people.
Now he has a ranged skill for group fights.
