I had become too arrogant thinking that I could start hunting the green wolves.
It wasn't a lack of power, I should be able to hunt them, but this time I learned what I really lack, besides a fast, long-range and powerful attack, I also lack experience.
Although I can't gain that much battle experience so quickly, I can still use the time difference to my advantage and increase the level of my skills by hunting rabbits.
With the bonus from the rabbit hunter title, I only needed to hunt them without much effort, even when facing the larger rabbits.
'Sorry rabbits, but it seems I can't stop hunting them yet.'
Simply training without a target was also an option, but why would he choose that if he could get orbs and meat as well?
To increase the level of the mana shield, I kept it active. I did the same with Touki.
Instead of physical attacks, to raise "Energy Bolt" even further, I used that only as a means of attack. I also used the skill "Beginner Hunter" whenever possible.
As for "Wind Manipulation", I didn't use it as a means of attack this time, but rather, I used it to surround my body, making myself faster.
Keeping so many skills active was making my MP empty like a punctured tire, but fortunately, my MP recovery was high.
When I almost ran out of MP, I started hunting using my lumberjack axe.
My own physical damage was no joke even without using an attack skill.

I opened my eyes.
'24 hours...' That was the time I calculated since I arrived in the PhD.
In this time that I spent hunting rabbits, I got many orbs and evolved my skills.
[Mana Shield (Active) Lv.6]
[Energy Bolt (Active) Lv.8]
[Bow Mastery (Passive) Lv.5]
[Beginner Hunter (Active) – Lv.4]
[Wind Manipulation (Passive/Active) Lv.3]
[Touki (Active) – Level 4]
[Powerful Strike (Active) Lv.6]
It didn't increase to an absurd level, but this change made a total difference, especially in wind manipulation which, although it only went up a single level, had a 10% increase in attack damage using Wind and a 5% increase in mastery of Wind control.

'I was quite diligent this time. I hunted more than 500 rabbits. The amount of red light orbs surpassed three digits.'
A simple glance, I saw more than 2 thousand red orbs of weak and intense colors.
I also saw more than 300 purple orbs.
'In the end, it was the right choice to give up hunting the green wolves this time to hunt rabbits.'
With that, I not only raised my skills, but also got a safe way to get stronger quickly.
With this amount of orbs, I imagine my attributes will increase a lot.
[Luck]: 73 → 101
[The skill [Lucky Favorite] was created by you possessing LUK greater than 100 and replaced the skill <Lucky Friend>.]
[Lucky Favorite (Passive) Maximum Level]

[10% increase in dodge.] → [35% increase in dodge.]
[30% increase in the rate of getting good items.] → [65% increase in the rate of getting good items.]
For an instant, I was left without a reaction.
'This... Too much! Simply, too much!'
From the amount of rabbit meat dropped, as well as purple orbs, it became clear that luck influenced a lot, now with this skill... I imagine that my future drops will be even better.
I could increase WIS and DEX with my attribute points, but I didn't. With so many orbs, I should be able to get that easily.
First, I went to the kitchen to drink a glass of water and eat some fruits.
The time I stayed in the PhD, I barely ate and drank water.
I was doing an intensive speedrun.
...
Back in my room, I sat on the bed. Taking out the wind crystal orb, I swallowed it together with a purple orb.
[You obtained 0.1 wisdom...]
[You obtained 0.1 dexterity...]
Just as I presumed, the gains were low compared to before and fixed on increasing WIS and DEX.
A few seconds later.
[The skill [Hunter's Divinity] was created by you possessing DEX greater than 100 and replaced the skill <Absolute Efficiency>.]
[Hunter's Divinity (Passive) Maximum Level]

[300% increase in MP recovery.]
[300% increase in magical defense.]
[150% increase in thinking speed.]
"Huh???"
I thought I was done with the change I got by acquiring these two passive skills, but I was completely wrong!
Something started to change in me. Something substantial.
It wasn't something as simple as gaining a passive skill by having my attribute above 100.
It was several times greater.
I felt a bit of pain.
'What is happening?'
[Body Refinement Complete!]
[Due to possessing all your attributes above 100, you obtained a Special Physical Body.]
[You acquired the Physical Body: <Sacred Dragon>]
[Sacred Dragon (Passive / Active) – Lv.1]

[Allows the user to freely handle Sacred Energy.]
[Attack power increases according to INT and the amount of MP consumed.]

[Fourth Transformation: Awakened Hybrid Form (Active)]: Increase of all attributes by 2,000% / MP: 500,000 / 100,000 MP per minute.
My body was bathed in a sacred light. I looked like a human lamp.
But none of that mattered now.
I blinked several times, even so, I continued to see this absurd thing.
"God..."
This was one of the most ridiculous things I've seen in the last few days. Look, I've seen many things that made me doubt myself.
Even with this change, in my status I was still "human", or maybe I turned into something very close to a wolf in sheep's clothing?
I sketched an ironic smile. And laughed for no apparent reason.
All the cells of my body vibrated.
I didn't even know how to react to that.
Of course, I was happy, I was happy, but...
This came in such a sudden way that I didn't prepare myself psychologically speaking.
'For now I'm going to take a bath... Yes, I need to take a cold water bath and clear my mind.'
I got up still shining in sacred light and walked toward the bathroom. I didn't even bother to grab a change of clothes.
