Chapter 37 The training tasks are becoming increasingly difficult.
Nineteen days after birth.
To Cang Nian's surprise, the rain that lasted all day yesterday has not stopped today and is even getting worse.
Fortunately, the tiger mother chose a high-lying cave to nurse her cubs, so the rainwater that had accumulated outside wouldn't flow in.
Unfortunately, the tigers had no choice but to continue staying in the cave.
Fortunately, some of the Amur leopard carcasses were still alive; they were slightly whitish but not yet decomposed, so they could still be eaten.
"My jogging skill has evolved into running, and the first level of proficiency has increased to 10,000 meters. I can forget about it anytime soon. In that case, let's practice other skills today..."
Unable to go out, Cang Nian couldn't test his current maximum speed.
But time shouldn't be wasted, and it just so happens that the space needed to practice other skills is not large.
Running has always been my fastest-evolving skill, but it's becoming difficult to improve. It's time to focus my energy on other skills.
Furthermore, enhancing other skills can also effectively increase running speed, which will also promote the improvement of proficiency in this skill.
Thinking of this, he looked at his current skill panel.
Pooping, peeing, opening your eyes, and sleeping are four skills that cannot be rushed, and their effects are rather limited at the moment.
For the skills of eating meat and digestion, there isn't enough food to level up their proficiency yet, and my exercise isn't burning through them fast enough, so there's no rush.
That leaves only a few skills: Claw Strike, Leap, Climb, Howl, and Listen (which doesn't work when it's malfunctioning).
Climbing is too difficult without trees. Moreover, Cang Nian tried it before, and it's like going from jogging to running; it's a qualitative change. Each level of proficiency requires 1,000 meters!
The efficiency of training in a cave would be even lower.
For now, the only skills that can be effectively trained are claw strikes, leaping, and howling.
Of course, Cangnian did not forget the two skills he had recently unlocked—killing and biting.
However, there are no other animals in the cave, so where is he going to level up his killing skills?
As for tearing... it happens from time to time when eating meat, but I don't know if gnawing on bones will be effective after the meat is gone.
"Then let's train them to use claw strikes, leaps, and roars. These three skills don't require much space to train, so we can at least let them each complete one evolution today!"
After planning his workout for the day, Cang Nian began to exercise with self-discipline.
First comes the claw strike.
Because I've beaten up Tiger Brother quite a few times, my proficiency in this skill is almost at level 50.
However, since Tiger Brother didn't make any mistakes or slack off, Cangnian naturally wouldn't use it to practice his skills, after all, he wasn't a devil.
Immediately, Cangnian arrived at the cave wall, raised his claws, retracted his claw blades, and slammed down with all his might!
[Ding! Claw attack performed once, Claw attack skill proficiency +1! (48/100)]
"Hiss... I think I should try something else to exercise..."
The pain from the claws made Cang Nian immediately cower.
My limb muscles have indeed improved significantly, but not to the point of splitting mountains and cracking rocks, let alone the fact that I am just a tiger cub weighing about seven kilograms.
So, having suffered the consequences, Cang Nian settled for second best and turned to the fur of the Siberian leopard.
Pa~!
[Ding! Claw attack performed once, Claw attack skill proficiency +1! (49/100)]
This is much better. With the Amur leopard's relatively thick fur cushioning the wound, the full-force claw strikes don't hurt as much; my claws just feel a little numb.
Bang bang bang~!
Then, Cangnian continued to strike the fur of the Amur leopard, while the system notification sounds in his mind continued in a rhythmic manner.
Huh~?
At this moment, Tiger Brother, who had noticed Cangnian's strange behavior, came closer in puzzlement.
My brother didn't bring it to his workout today!
However, remembering the slap he had received before, Tiger Brother shrank back with lingering fear, then imitated Cang Nian's actions, slapping the Amur leopard's fur with his paws, making a loud thumping sound.
I'm so well-behaved, I can train with my brother without being urged, so I definitely won't get a beating!
Tiger Brother silently praised himself for his cleverness.
Seeing this, Cang Nian was slightly taken aback, but quickly understood Tiger Brother's little scheme.
Ignoring Tiger Brother's imitation, Cangnian quickly filled the progress bar of the Claw Strike skill.
[Ding! Claw attack performed once, Claw attack skill proficiency +1! (100/100)]
[Ding! Congratulations, host! Your Claw Strike skill proficiency has reached maximum. This skill has evolved into—Scratch!]
As his skills evolved, Cangnian felt his forelimbs become stronger, and the claws of his forepaws lengthened by a third, becoming harder and sharper!
However, compared to the increase in strength when jogging evolves into running, the increase in strength of the forelimbs this time is not significant.
After all, the former is the fourth stage of a skill chain, while the latter is the third stage; the two are not comparable.
But every bit of improvement he makes is something to be happy about for Cang Nian.
Pa~!
[Ding! Scratching skill proficiency +1! (1/10000)]
"Hiss... Sure enough, the transition from the third to the fourth stage of a skill chain is a qualitative change, with the progress bar becoming terrifyingly long."
"Ten thousand scratches, when will I ever be able to collect enough?"
After confirming his conjecture, Cangnian felt an unbearable toothache.
The evolution of his skill from jogging to running took almost half of his conscious time since birth.
The remaining skills will likely be just as difficult to master to overcome this stage.
However, thinking about the boost his jogging skill received when it evolved into running, Cangnian felt relieved.
Although he hasn't tested his maximum speed after evolving to run, Cangnian estimates that his current speed should be able to compete with Tiger Mom's!
He was far from reaching the size of an adult tiger. Although his size and weight would increase and his speed would slow down, he would also have more muscle. Cang Nian felt that if he were to become an adult right now, he would be at least half again as fast as an ordinary tiger!
Such an increase is worthy of the efforts made in self-discipline.
With that in mind, Cangnian began to practice his other two skills diligently—leaping and howling.
The prerequisite skill for the Leap skill is Jump, so you only need to jump with all your might to increase the proficiency of this skill.
Thanks to Cangnian's tireless efforts, his proficiency in this skill improved quite rapidly.
[Ding! Leaped once, Leap Skill Proficiency +1! (100/100)]
[Ding! Congratulations, host! Your Leap skill proficiency has reached maximum! This skill has evolved into—Ground Rush!]
As the system notification sounded, Cangnian felt his hind limbs become stronger, his explosive power was greater, and he could jump even higher from the spot!
With this thought in mind, Cang Nian jumped up again, instantly rising from the ground, his limbs a full meter off the ground!
[Ding! Ground Strike skill proficiency increased by 1 (1/10000)]
Seeing this, Cang Nian couldn't help but twitch his lips.
Sure enough, the skill chain progressed from the third stage to the fourth stage, and the progress bar was frighteningly long.
My training tasks ahead are quite challenging...
