Enhancement! Combat Power Rises Again!

The Red Python Fruit

As Qin Feng approached the Red Python Fruit, a fragrant aroma greeted his senses, refreshing and delightful. The scent was so invigorating that it seemed to awaken every cell in his body, making him feel more energized and focused. He had heard legends of such spiritual herbs, but to witness and consume one himself was a different experience altogether.

Without hesitation, he picked the fruit and took a bite. It instantly melted in his mouth, tasting sweet and delicious. The rich flavor was unlike anything he had ever tasted, almost as if he were consuming pure energy.

"Not bad!" he murmured in surprise, savoring the unique taste.

In a few bites, Qin Feng devoured the entire spiritual fruit. He could feel his body absorbing the potent energy rapidly, as though every muscle and bone in his body were rejuvenating.

Soon, warmth spread throughout his body, the energy from the fruit flowing through him, making his entire body heat up as it underwent rapid enhancement. He felt his muscles expand and his bones strengthen, an exhilarating sensation that gave him a sense of newfound power.

After some time, the energy fully integrated into his body…

> **[Red Python Fruit consumed. You have gained +8 Constitution points.]**

> **[Red Python Fruit consumed. Your poison resistance has increased by 100%.]**

"Whoa!"

An increase of 8 Constitution points!

And poison resistance too!

This Red Python Fruit is amazing!

Qin Feng was overjoyed. He felt as though his body had become significantly tougher, and the added poison resistance was a priceless boon in a world filled with dangerous beasts and venomous threats. The thought of having an enhanced ability to withstand poison brought him a great sense of security.

He turned his attention back to the spiritual herb.

"Is this herb still of any use?"

He looked at the Red Python Herb again.

After the fruit was picked, the Red Python Herb had begun to wither. The seven fan-shaped green leaves were curling slightly, their vibrant color fading as they lost their vitality.

Using True Sight again…

> **[Name]: Red Python Herb**

> **[Description]: A type of spiritual herb. Grows one leaf per year, and after seven years, develops seven leaves. Another seven years are required to bear a red fruit called the Red Python Fruit.**

> **[Characteristics]: After the fruit is picked, the herb will automatically wither and rot over several days, losing its cultivation value.**

"Huh!"

This herb is quite stubborn!

It bears only one fruit in its lifetime, and once harvested, it dies.

That means the Red Python Fruit cannot be cultivated artificially.

Strange!

How, then, do Red Python Fruits emerge in nature?

It must be that the herb absorbs the essence of heaven and earth, nurtured naturally. This made the fruit incredibly rare and valuable, an item that was not easily found or replicated. Its rarity alone made Qin Feng realize how fortunate he was to have found it.

Qin Feng's eyes lit up, seemingly understanding something.

Since the herb grows by absorbing the essence of heaven and earth, could it still contain some of that essence before it completely withers?

With that thought, he reached out and gently touched the herb…

Moments later, his palm began to glow with white light. He could feel a gentle pull as the essence transferred into his body.

The herb withered rapidly before his eyes, turning into blackened dry leaves within seconds, hanging limply, completely dead.

Qin Feng flipped his hand over, revealing a small cluster of emerald-green spiritual liquid in his palm, exuding a faint fragrance.

> **[Infinite Extraction successful! You have extracted the spiritual essence from the Red Python Herb!]**

> **[Spiritual Essence: Absorbed through the power of heaven and earth, consuming this essence will enhance Constitution slightly.]**

"Hehe! Just as I thought!"

Qin Feng was thrilled. He opened his mouth and absorbed the spiritual essence from his palm…

The essence had the refreshing taste of fresh grass, filling his senses with a pure, natural flavor that spoke of the earth itself.

Moments later, the essence turned into energy, merging with his body, bringing an extraordinarily comfortable sensation. He could feel his Constitution enhancing further, making his body even sturdier and more resistant.

> **[Spiritual Essence consumed. You have gained +2 Constitution points.]**

> **[Congratulations! Your combat power evaluation has reached the 2-star limit.]**

"Huh!"

My combat power is at the 2-star limit now!

Qin Feng couldn't wait to open his attribute panel. His heart raced with anticipation as he pulled up the information.

> **[Name]: Qin Feng**

> **[Level]: 1 (70/100)**

> **[Strength]: 20 (Berserk Strength, D-level)**

> **[Agility]: 21 (Speed Enhancement, E-level)**

> **[Constitution]: 28 (Poison Resistance +100%, No innate talent)**

> **[Energy]: 32 (Enhanced Vision Plus, E-level; Enhanced Smell, F-level)**

> **[Innate Talent]: Infinite Extraction (SSS-level)**

> **[Skills]: True Sight**

> **[Combat Power Evaluation]: 2-star limit**

Seeing his updated stats, Qin Feng was overjoyed. He felt that all his efforts and risks were paying off significantly. The improvement in his Constitution made him feel invincible, as if his body had become a fortress that could withstand anything.

He also noticed some changes in his attribute panel.

It was clear that talents were divided into different basic categories: Strength, Agility, Constitution, and Energy.

Additionally, there seemed to be special talents like his Infinite Extraction that did not fit neatly into any category, yet provided a significant boost to his capabilities.

Currently, Qin Feng possessed three of the four basic talent categories; the only one he lacked was Constitution.

However, his Constitution did have a unique feature—Poison Resistance +100%, something others didn't have. It was an attribute that could give him a distinct advantage, especially when facing venomous beasts or navigating hazardous environments.

Even more exciting was that his combat power evaluation had reached the 2-star limit—just a step away from reaching 3 stars.

If he factored in his multiple talents, his overall strength could likely reach 4 stars or even the 4-star limit.

He now felt confident enough to take on three or four Level 1 beasts at once, which was a drastic improvement compared to when he first entered the Newbie Plains. His journey of growth was progressing quickly, and he knew he could not afford to slow down.

"Not bad! This has been a great harvest. If I can find another Venomous Nine-Ringed Snake corpse, I can leave the Newbie Plains and search for more powerful beasts."

Qin Feng muttered to himself as he picked up his steel dagger, preparing to leave… His ambition was growing, and he was determined to push beyond his current limits.

"Huh! What's this…"

At that moment, he noticed some disordered footprints not far away. The grass was trampled, and the earth showed signs of struggle.

He hurried over and found, besides the footprints, traces of a giant snake slithering, crushing the bushes along the way… The trail looked fresh, indicating that whatever had happened here wasn't too long ago.

His heart skipped a beat, and he followed the trail. He knew that following such traces could lead him to either danger or a great opportunity, and he was ready to take the risk.

A New Encounter

After a quarter of an hour, he traced the trail to a nearby depression, where he could hear sounds of a fight in the distance. The sounds of weapons clashing, beastly roars, and human shouts reached his ears, growing louder as he got closer.

Qin Feng's heart raced. He crouched down, using the bushes for cover, and cautiously approached the direction of the battle. His instincts told him that this could be a valuable opportunity if he played his cards right.

Soon, he reached the vicinity of the fight and stopped. He could see movement ahead, and the intensity of the sounds suggested a fierce struggle.

Quietly lying down in the bushes, he peeked through the gaps to observe the scene. He made sure his breathing was controlled and steady, so as not to make any noise that could reveal his position.

Upon seeing the situation, a look of delight appeared on his face.

In the clearing ahead, seven humans were besieging a Venomous Nine-Ringed Snake. The snake was putting up a fierce resistance, its tail lashing out violently, while the group tried to corner it with their weapons.

The humans appeared exhausted, their movements sluggish from the prolonged fight, while the snake, though injured, still fought ferociously.

Another snake corpse for extraction…

Qin Feng's eyes gleamed with anticipation. He knew that once this group
