There is a rumor on the Awakened forum.
Those high-tier Awakened individuals above the Fierce Tier often don't look human. Having a few extra arms is considered mild; some are covered in tentacles and pustules, resembling the Cthulhu Evil God, and can scare kids to death if they go out at night!
Of course, this might just be the imagination and fabrication of some people, and Chu Xiu isn't sure about the specifics.
The reason he didn't hesitate to choose trait fusion is that whenever he levels up, the essence of life changes, allowing him to wash away traits that haven't deeply fused with him.
Even if this Tough Skin has any side effects, he can eliminate it during the upcoming level-up trial, so he needs to strengthen himself as much as possible before the trial.
As the [Tough Skin] was absorbed, Chu Xiu felt his skin hardening, visibly becoming rough, like that of a worker who has labored for decades.
At the same time, he felt a strong pumping sensation from his heart.
