[Ding! Congratulations! You have pulled a rare passive skill, ’Perfect Combat Sense’!]

[Ding! ’??? Of ???, ????’ has interfered with this lottery pull, and the reward has been changed!]

[Ding! Due to your passive skill, ’Perfect Combat Sense,’ your active skill, ’Basic Martial Arts,’ has been upgraded to ’Martial Arts Master (S+)!]

The moment these two notifications rang out in his head, Zephyr almost fainted as a massive amount of information assaulted his brain and a warm feeling spread all over his body, subtly transforming his entire body.

With Zephyr’s powerful brain, he was able to digest the information fast; thus, he didn’t stay stunned for long and came back to his senses in just a few seconds.

Although Zephyr maintained a poker face for the audience, massive turmoil was occurring inside his head at that moment!

’D*mn! Did I really become proficient in so many combat skills all at once!? Is this even possible!?’

The information that Zephyr had received was a massive amount of training and real combat experience that elevated his martial arts to rank S!

Now, although he had no magical combat techniques, Zephyr could easily use all kinds of close-range combat techniques like boxing, judo, wrestling, karate, etc.!

It was as if he himself had trained for decades and had mastered all these skills at the same time with tremendous effort!

He could instinctively do all of these skills, as they were all engraved in his muscle memory deeply!

And the most amazing thing was the fact that now Zephyr could control his physical strength extremely efficiently compared to before, when he was just a normal human with no combat skills!

Originally he just had a strong physique with barely any control over his real strength, but now things were entirely different.

The difference between a highly trained person and a person who has never trained in his life is massive, not in just physical capabilities but mental capabilities too!

Knowing that you can fight gives a massive boost to a person’s self-confidence and makes them more mentally tough!

The same was true for Zephyr; now he did not fear those weird snails at all because he knew that if he managed to get close, he would destroy them with his insanely powerful combat capabilities!

To understand his new skills better, Zephyr immediately opened the skill information tab.

[Skill Name: Perfect Combat Sense!]

[Skill Type: Passive]

[Skill Description: All beings in the world have a combat sense of their own.

Even a baby that has never known anything about the world tries to fight for its survival by crying and informing its parents that it’s in discomfort.

Even the weakest creatures in the universe fight for their survival, as nothing can live without struggling and fighting for their place in this world!

The basic sense to struggle for yourself and for your survival that resides deep in every being’s soul is called combat sense!

And those who can master this ’sixth sense’ can conquer all fears!]

[Skill Effects:

1. The user of this skill will possess absolute combat intuition and will be able to instinctively realize many things in advance.

2. The user of this skill is immune to any type of ’mind’-based attacks, as your soul has shed away the word ’fear’ from its very core!

3. Grants all combat-related skills 10 times more efficiency and power!

4. User can react to danger with extreme precision!

5. User can predict enemy attacks to certain extent!]

...

Looking at the effects and the description of his newly acquired skill, Zephyr finally realized that he had struck gold this time!

’Finally, I got something good from this broken lottery game!’

’Thank you, Mr. Question Mark! I am forever indebted to you!’

Zephyr almost felt like crying after getting this skill.

The combat skills not only improved his basic combat abilities but also improved his control over his overall strength.

And with extra control over his power came extra speed, and Zephyr’s running speed increased as the powerful footwork techniques of various combat skills got engraved in his legs!

With enhanced speed, Zephyr left the snails far behind in dust as they became completely incapable of keeping up with his insane movement speed!

’Now that’s what I am talking about!’

Zephyr now had combat capabilities, and if he wanted, he could just fight the snail monsters, but he didn’t bother doing that, as that would just pointlessly waste his time.

Soon it would be dawn, and that laser beam bombardment will start all over again; it would be disastrous if he got stuck in the middle of the monster horde while being bombarded by photon worms.

’These snails have been surviving inside the ash desert, so they are likely resistant or immune to those photon worm attacks like the snake monsters; it would be idiotic to fight them now.’

With insanely rapid movement speed, Zephyr crossed dozens of kilometers in just a few minutes, and soon he started to see a silhouette near the horizon.

As he got closer and closer to the silhouette in the distance, Zephyr realized that it was actually a wooden fence!

There was no mistaking it; wooden pillars with their heads sharpened were lined beside each other and tied with ropes tightly.

It was roughly made and seemed like it was about to fall apart, but it was without a doubt a wooden fence, with the only odd thing being that it was insanely massive!

Each wooden pillar in the fence was taller than a skyscraper!

The wooden pillars were so wide that Zephyr found it difficult to believe that they were in fact real!

’That is, without a doubt, the giant’s residence I have been looking for! I have found it!’

With his goal in immediate sight, Zephyr did not delay any further and rushed towards the wooden fence at full speed!

Just when Zephyr was feeling a bit excited, his newly acquired ’combat sense’ suddenly reacted, and he took an abrupt stop because of a sudden instinctive warning.

*BOOOOM!!!*

And as if proving Zephyr’s worries right, a massive snail monster came crashing down from the sky on the same spot he would have been if he kept running at the previous speed!
