Judging from the muscle expansion effect brought by the ordinary Wild Boar People, Raine is almost certain that the effect of the Wild Boar Warrior will be even more pronounced, which will lead to more obvious changes in his physique.
If activated in the caravan just now, it would definitely attract attention.
But now, being alone in the inn room, this issue won't exist.
After some thought, Raine first takes off his leather armor and linen undergarment, standing bare-chested in front of the room's copper mirror.
As he presses the Wild Boar Warrior bloodline icon on the fourth square, Raine notices through the copper mirror that the muscles on his body undergo drastic changes at a speed visible to the naked eye.
The trapezius muscles, already quite prominent, now rise even higher, resembling professional black boxers from the past world.
Moreover, the two anterior neck muscles at the front of his neck become increasingly robust.
The deltoids on his shoulders, the triceps and biceps on his upper arms, and most of the upper body muscle groups become even stronger, almost rivaling that famous bodybuilder and governor Schwarzenegger from the past world.
"Well, no wonder there's a famous saying in the online world of the past — real men stack passives..."
At the same time, Raine feels like his mind is filled with something else, constantly flashing through a series of images — running fast... crashing... tusks....
Feeling the full sense of strength coursing through his body, Raine couldn't help but shift his gaze to the attribute panel.

...
"Brute Force and Thick Hide both stepped into Lv2? Indeed, the Wild Boar Warrior bloodline is stronger than the ordinary Wild Boar People's power!" At first glance, Raine sees the reason for the significant changes in his body.
And the effects of these two passive bloodline talents are very straightforward:
'Brute Force Lv2' effect: Power +3. (Note: Under current physical condition)
'Thick Hide Lv2' effect: Constitution +3, with an additional increase of thirty percent in toxin resistance and piercing defense. (Note: Under current physical condition)
"Huh? Hammer Mastery Lv1?" Raine was a bit puzzled as to why there was such a bloodline talent.
"Could it be because Wild Boar People all like to use large wooden hammers and Nail Spike Warhammers?"
But evidently, this is a pleasant surprise for Raine!
Raine focuses on Hammer Mastery Lv1.
Hammer Mastery (Passive) Lv1, effect: You have a natural familiarity with any hammer-type weapon, with a ten percent increase in damage when using hammer-type weapons; when learning any hammer combat skills, the learning speed is increased by twenty percent.
"Wait, with this Hammer Mastery, perhaps I can go to Tutor Humbert to try learning the Warhammer."
Raine can't help but recall the warhammer placed in the corner of the association's backyard.
As long as he can swing the warhammer to ring the bell, he can learn hammer skills from Tutor Humbert.
Raine is certain that Humbert's hammer skills as a Dwarf Warrior must be stronger than the Wild Boar Warrior's.
And the Wild Boar Warrior's power when wielding the Nail Spike Warhammer is already extremely terrifying!
We can only imagine the power of the Dwarf Warhammer.
It's not that Raine is greedy, wanting to be both a warrior and a Magic Lord.
Rather, currently his powerful skills are all derived from monsters.
If he wants to slay stronger monsters, he needs to arm himself thoroughly.
Including this Hammer Mastery, which is derived from the Wild Boar Warrior, he must first make full use of it to enhance his strength.
It's not feasible to just discard Hammer Mastery and only use the Freezing Ray, is it?
"Oh, this is..."
Suddenly, Raine's eyes widen slightly as he notes an additional item in the spell-like abilities section:
Barbaric Charge Lv1, effect: Within a fifteen-meter range, you can charge rapidly towards a target, if the target's power is weaker than yours, they will be knocked flying, with great power disparity, the target may suffer fractures or dizziness.
(Note: This spell-like ability is derived from the Wild Boar Warrior's Tusk Charge, with suitability adjustments.)
"Is it the blow previously unleashed by the Wild Boar Warrior?"
"Turns out the system can perform suitability adjustments."
"Also, I am human and don't have tusks, how can I perform Tusk Charge?"
Recalling the scene when the Wild Boar Warrior lowered its head to ram Grande with its tusks, Raine looks enlightened.
"However, Barbaric Charge sounds more like a class skill of some warrior, doesn't it?"
"But why is it placed among spell-like abilities?"
"Or is it that abilities derived from bloodlines are all categorized as such?"
After pondering, Raine thought of an explanation that he wasn't sure was correct.
But it doesn't affect Raine using this ability.
"Now my four bloodline slots are filled."
"Wait, the ordinary Wild Boar People's bloodline is no longer necessary to be enhanced."
Raine removed the ordinary Wild Boar People icon from the third bloodline slot and placed it back into the sixteen-square backpack.
Indeed, even after removing the ordinary Wild Boar People icon, Raine's attribute panel has no changes at this moment.
Even the bloodline talent section hasn't changed at all.
"That means, for the same species, a higher tier bloodline can fully cover the lower tier bloodline talents."
"Hmm, the only exception is these mutations."
Raine glanced at the second slot of the bloodline — Cold-Enhanced Goblin Bloodline.
Both the second and first slots are Goblin bloodlines, and he's already tried; they cannot be fused together.
Otherwise, it would have freed up a bloodline slot for him.
"Wait, maybe it's not that they can't be fused, but because my Goblin Warrior bloodline is already fused."
"According to the system's previous hint — 'unable to fuse again,' it's totally possible due to this reason!"
Suddenly, like a bolt of lightning cutting through the fog of the night.
Raine's eyes widened slightly, a flash of insight in his mind.
"Seems like I can try next time."
"Goblin Warriors should be more common in medium-sized goblin communities, it might be worth considering after a while."
According to the actual combat danger level and the conventions of the Adventurer's Association, small groups like goblins, generally fewer than twenty, pose a lower level of danger.
Typically, a team with a bit of experience can complete the cleanup.
But medium-sized communities are different.
Taking goblins as an example, groups of twenty to fifty, there's a high likelihood of stronger goblins like Goblin Warriors appearing, and the organizational system will be more rigorous and diverse.
There will be specialized Shortbow Goblins.
With Goblin Warriors and goblins with ranged attack abilities, the challenge level will naturally rise significantly, generally between one and two.
"Wait for Chris to recover, and join the team, or find a temporary team first?"
"No rush, perhaps I should settle down first."
But soon, Raine realizes he seems to be a bit too hasty.
Having just mastered the new skill 'Barbaric Charge', he hasn't even practiced it properly, yet he's thinking about continuing to venture out.
Raine realizes perhaps due to previously twice successfully acquiring monster abilities, it has sparked a restless impulse in him.
"Tomorrow try out the new ability first."
"Then find Tutor Humbert and ask about learning the warhammer."
Suddenly, Raine glances down at his bulging muscles, immediately shakes his head, and mutters to himself:
"Before going to the association tomorrow, I should get a set of chain armor, to cover the changes in my physique first."
Indeed, after enhancing with the Wild Boar Warrior bloodline, he's almost like another Schwarzenegger.
Such drastic changes in physique over a short period are still quite puzzling.
Proper concealment is necessary.
