Lin Wu immediately noticed the significant increase in spirit qi and was quite pleased with this. He also noticed that a few more parts had updated. For example, his bloodline now showed his species name and the inventory section showed the things he had stored.
He also noticed the system energy storage that had been slightly depleted because of his use of functions. He didn't really mind it as it was intended for a good use and now that he had even more energy he just felt that it was well invested.
"Yes! This is good, I can upgrade my cultivation right away if I want to." Lin Wu spoke in jubilation, happy at his gains.
'Still, should wait till I consume the Skeleton before upgrading or not?' Lin Wu thought to himself.
After a couple of minutes of thinking, Lin Wu decided against upgrading straight away. His judgment was that perhaps he may get something important from the Skeleton, since there was still a data node hidden within it.
"Alright, I guess I'll just consume the skeleton, but how do I do that? Do I just eat it, straightway?" Lin Wu spoke to himself.
After a brief moment of thinking, Lin Wu sensed his body and willed to make a few changes. He opened his mouth wide enough that his entire front part of his head was now a mouth. A moment later sharp teeth appeared in his mouth in a haphazard manner and looked as if it was a blender.
It was not intentional on Lin Wu's part, rather with his current skill level, this was all he could accomplish. He had in fact imagined something completely different in his mind, and this turned out to be the result.
Lin Wu then placed his mouth over the half skeleton and started eating it. The teeth in his mouth would move in a spiral manner, pulling in the skeleton with them. Soon the entire skeleton was in his stomach. The bones of the skeleton quickly detached once they were pulled in to his mind, thus he did not have much of a problem.
Lin Wu had never eaten bones before, thus this was a strange experience for him. In the past, he had been unable to eat the bones as they were far too hard for him to chew on as he had no teeth to speak of. But now that he could create as many teeth as he wanted, the process was rather easy.
Lin Wu's body slightly budged from what he had eaten, and crunching and cracking noises came from his body. Almost instantly his body got to work breaking down the meal that was just consumed. Lin Wu was feeling strange hearing the noises that were coming from his stomach.
"This is strange, I've heard stomach grumble but never thought that mine would ever make sounds like this. It's almost as if there's a blender in my stomach… actually that may not be that far from the Truth." Lin Wu spoke to himself.
'This new body of mine is strange.' Lin Wu thought as he observed his stomach quickly shrinking to its normal size in the span of a minute.
Once the entire process ended, his body glowed for a moment before Lin Wu felt pain.
"Ah, I was expecting something like this…" Lin Wu muttered to himself before gritting his teeth in pain.
Still, the pain was bearable for him and he withstood it without much problem. The pain was quite similar to how one would feel after eating a lot of spicy food.
Once the pain died down, Lin Wu opened his eyes as the sound of notification appeared.

A string of notifications popped up in front of Lin Wu most of which he had expected. He decided to check what the changes in his host data were first.
"System, show me the host data." Lin Wu ordered.

"What the hell!" Lin Wu exclaimed in shock.
The two values that had changed greatly were the Vital energy storage and the system energy storage. The gain was far greater than Lin Wu had gotten until now from any resource and was completely unexpected to him. The combined increase in energy was of more than twelve thousand units.
Finally, at the very bottom, Lin Wu noticed a new addition.
'Ash Crowned Buck? What? How did I get this from a human corpse?' Lin Wu wondered to himself.
"System, explain yourself." Lin Wu ordered, feeling confused and a little cheated.
