Blood Assimilation

"Sir, are you sure that's not him? He even had the same surname 'Smith' as the Smith family in this city." Lin Murong asked in confirmation.

"I don't know, perhaps." The middle-aged man curtly replied to her and then thought of something before he continued: "But if you are that curious about him, you can always check whether that is him or not by looking through the old records. Did you not check it yet?"

"Eh? But didn't those kinds of records get deleted since it will leave a bad reputation on the awakening center in the Eastern District, especially after failing to help someone awaken their innate ability on multiple attempts?" Lin Murong doubtfully asked the middle-aged man.

"That's right." He did not deny her claim and continued to speak: "Then all you have to do is just check the deleted files since they were still stored somewhere else despite it still being deleted from the main system. Just check the storage and find the drive that was replaced before the new one was installed."

"Oh, okay, thank you, sir. I will do that when I have some time later." Lin Murong replied to him.

The middle-aged man waved his hands without saying anything as he walked away towards a certain direction, seemingly going back to do what he was doing before all this.

…

On the other side, the border between the Sky Rise City and the Beast Forest.

Randy hurriedly came to this place once again immediately after obtaining his official rank from the awakening center.

He approached the gate leading towards the forest outside of the city and was once again stopped by the guard from before, but this time, after checking and inspecting his awakener's identification card for authentication and or scanning it for the records.

After this verification process was over with, Randy was no longer obstructed as everything checked out that he truly was awakened human with his very own innate ability. And then he received a pass indicating his right of passage through the huge gate mounted in between sky high walls.

"Here you go, student. And while I'm at it, I might as well tell you. Be careful out there and do not lose your life prematurely. There are so many reckless kids who ventured into the Beast Forest in order to make some cash, but most of them had either lost their lives or heavily wounded in the process due to not knowing their limits."

Saying this, he looked at him calmly and seriously spoke in a meaningful tone: "I hope that it won't be the same for you; do not venture too far into the forest or else you might lose your life before you even know it. Do not be too greedy and only hunt the beasts that you are certain that you defeat and proceed to run right away when there is no hope or chance of defeating a particular mutated beast. Do you understand? Your life is more important, if you survive now, you always earn more money later."

Randy listened to this with a solemn expression before nodding his head and responding in an appreciative tone: "I understand, I will keep your words in mind. And thank you for your advice."

'It seems like this guard is not a bad person judging by how much he told me, whom he had only just met today. In any case, I am very grateful for this advice he had given; at least now, I will try not to overexert myself even if I fail to meet my quota for the knowledge points today. I can just come another time or find other means to accumulate more.' Randy silently thought to himself.

The guard nodded with a pleased expression before walking away, leaving Randy standing in front of the huge, opened gate.

Although the gate opening would be detrimental if some beasts managed to slip through it at this moment, however there were barriers set up around the entire city to prevent this occurrence from ever happening.

The pass allocated was purposely used to pass through the barrier surrounding the city. In other words, without it, one would only trigger the security measures set up by magicians and cultivators in a form of magic formations and Spirit formations.

Each formation from these two professions were potent enough to handle or restrict mutated beasts in the ranks of F to C and perhaps even some B-rank mutated beasts.

And also, at most, the only mutated beasts around this city were only the F-rank to C-rank mutated beast, so there was not much danger surrounding this city overall.

As for the other ranks like B-rank to S-rank mutated beasts, you will have to go deeper into the Beast Forest or the danger zones in every district to find these kinds of terrifying mutated beast.

Another thing to note was that those terrifying mutated beasts were extremely territorial, especially S-rank mutated beasts and thus they rarely leave their territory, so there was a less chance of running into those terrifying mutated beasts around the city.

In any case, since things were like this, the government did not prohibit venturing into the Beast Forest, especially for those with awakened ability and had some sort of identification like hunter's identification or the official identification card that Randy had received.

However, that was not what matters right now, venturing into the Beast Forest was allowed but if one stayed inside for too long, especially during night times, they may risk the chance of running into some fierce mutated beast and usually the only outcome was death.

Right now, it was already the afternoon, so he did not want to waste any time, thus when he was given the pass to go through the gate, Randy immediately started moving forward step by step in a hurried but cautious pace.

After walking through these gates, he would be facing those mutated beasts that had evolved owing to the changes this planet had undergone due to the sudden outbreak of rifts and gates and the various energies they carried over from the worlds on the other side to this side.

Randy passed through the gate, then through the invisible and intangible barrier and proceeded to the head into the Beast Forest.

As he walked for a few steps, he abruptly stopped his steps when he reached the edge of the Beast Forest.

After thinking for a moment, he decided to activate his skill just in case some mutated beast tries to sneak attack on him without being aware.

[[Activating Assimilated Mode]]

[[Assimilated Mode Activated]]

[[Assimilated Type: Werewolf King of Wind]]

[[[Reinforcement(Strength of the Werewolf King) Skill Activated]]

[[Heightened Senses Trait Activated]]

Right at this moment, Randy could feel his body suddenly undergoing a drastic transformation. His body grew slightly bigger and more robust, his fangs and claws grew about a few inches longer compared to their original length.

Naturally, his hair also turned white, his curly hair turned straight in appearance, however there was a slight difference when compared to when he transformed in front of Jiang Chen and back at the awakening center

This time, his hair visibly grew longer compared to their original short length, thus revealing the silky white hair flowing down his back and over his shoulders as he stood there while exuding a sense of fierceness of a wild beast.

[[Due to the effects of the Assimilated Mode, all basic statistics have been increase by 300 Attributes and other statistics had also been increased slightly]]  

That is right, right now, he had completely transformed using all the full 'Strength of the Werewolf King' that he acquired from consuming and assimilating with that wolf-like creature's blood.

At this point, his straight long white hair flowed down his shoulder as it was constantly being blown around by the surging wind current from the Beast Forest.

Also, he had also activated the heightened senses trait of the werewolf king or more precisely, it was a passive ability activated when he fully activates the Reinforcement skill, (Strength of the Werewolf King).

Nonetheless, he could choose to activate it independently when he is not using the full strength of the werewolf king.

With all the necessary preparations complete, Randy was now fully assured of his safety as he continued walking into the Beast Forest, gaining a slight confidence in dealing with any unforeseen circumstances.
