Chapter 7 - Fusion Begins!

Chapter 7: Fusion Begins!

Returning to his residence, Meng Changqing sat cross-legged on the bed and summoned the character panel.

【Host: Meng Changqing】

【Race: Human】

【Cultivation: Ninth level of Vein Tempering Realm】

【Root Bone: Fourth-grade】

【Comprehension: Average】

【Martial Arts: “Bronze Armor Art,” “Nine Shadow Sword Art”】

【…】

【Current Friends: Xia Han, Bai Suxi】

【Unfused Attributes: Second-grade Root Bone, Talent “Skillful Hands”】

【Unused Reward: Sword Qi】

Another wave of great harvest indeed. A smile appeared on Meng Changqing’s face. Honestly, he never expected that a simple outing would lead him to encounter a genius! And not just any ordinary genius!

“But why would such a genius be in the Outer Sect?” Meng Changqing furrowed his brows slightly. Then he shook his head. Forget about it for now. This girl Bai Suxi seemed to have quite a story. She wasn’t an ordinary person.

“System, begin fusion of the second-grade root bone!” Meng Changqing said with some anticipation. After fusing the fourth-grade root bone yesterday, his cultivation speed increased by about tenfold. Now, with the second-grade root bone, how terrifying would it be?

Ding!

[Fusion begins!]

As the words fell, a familiar sensation emerged. It permeated his body more intensely than before, spreading through his limbs, organs, and bones, saturating his entire being. This was the process of elevating the grade of his constitution!

After a moment, the fusion was complete. Meng Changqing slowly opened his eyes. His aura seemed to have changed considerably, as if all dust had been removed and his flesh had undergone a sublimation.

Quite marvelous.

According to ancient records, it was said that humans were originally primordial spirits, their bodies as clear as crystals, untainted by any dust. However, due to various calamities, they lost their primordial names, and their hidden treasures were sealed, hence the need for cultivation to unlock these treasures and regain strength.

“Let’s test the effect!” Meng Changqing took out a pill and swallowed it.

In just a breath’s time, it was completely absorbed by his body, leaving nothing behind. This speed was almost fifty times faster than with the fourth-grade root bone!

“So terrifying!” Meng Changqing was astonished. Fifty times the cultivation speed! A day of cultivation was equivalent to nearly two months for others!

“The disparity in talent truly is despair-inducing.” Meng Changqing shook his head as he came back to his senses. Then a smile appeared on his face. Fortunately, he now had a second-grade root bone!

If it were only a fourth-grade root bone, it would probably take quite some time to break through to the Vein Condensation Realm, especially since he had just reached the ninth level of the Vein Tempering Realm. All things considered, it would likely take over a year to reach the Vein Condensation Realm.

But now…

With ample resources, half a month should be more than enough!

“Let’s take a look at the talent.” Meng Changqing’s gaze fell on another attribute.

Talent “Skillful Hands”: A pair of inherently agile hands that are especially adept when using weapons.

“Not a bad talent,” Meng Changqing’s eyes brightened. For someone skilled in wielding weapons, this would bring a significant increase in strength.

Talent differed from innate constitution. It was a unique aspect of a person.

“Fusion.” Meng Changqing said without hesitation.

Ding!

[Fusion begins!]

As the words fell, Meng Changqing felt his hands start to tremble slightly. Numerous lights spread beneath his skin like flowing water.

Chilly.

When the light vanished, it signified the end of the fusion. Meng Changqing lightly clenched his hands, feeling them become somewhat lighter. Whether it was his fingers, wrists, or joints, they all became much more flexible. Many actions that were previously impossible for him to perform were now within his capabilities.

Swish!

The sword was unsheathed!

Meng Changqing executed three Sword Qis simply. Unlike before, the Sword Qis became more agile, elusive, and capable of launching attacks from multiple angles. They were practically indefensible!

“Not bad!” Meng Changqing was very satisfied. With this, his strength had received a considerable boost! If he were to face the Purple Vein Crystal Bear again, he could definitely solve it in less time!

Finally, Meng Changqing looked at the additional reward triggered by the increase in favorability this time.

“Is this the Sword Qi I understand?” Meng Changqing’s eyes gradually became somewhat fervent. If it was, then this reward was truly excessive!

Additional Reward “Sword Qi”: A formless force that requires years of sword practice and understanding of various Sword Qis to condense!

“Indeed!” Meng Changqing’s breath couldn’t help but pause. Sword Qi was a very mysterious power. It could intimidate others’ minds and enhance the power of Sword Qis, but it required quite a high comprehension to grasp. Out of a hundred sword practitioners, not even one might achieve it! And above Sword Qi, there was an even rarer and more terrifying Sword Intent – the true meaning of swordsmanship!

“System, you’re amazing!” Meng Changqing praised sincerely from the bottom of his heart. With his current comprehension, he didn’t know when he would be able to cultivate Sword Qi. But now it was readily available to him!

“Fusion!”

Meng Changqing took a deep breath, calming himself down.

Buzz!

The next second, a massive influx of information surged into Meng Changqing’s mind. They were countless fragments of Sword Qis containing profound truths! Meng Changqing absorbed them frantically, and gradually, a sharp aura began to emanate from his body.

This was Sword Qi!

Whoosh!

Meng Changqing suddenly opened his eyes. There were flickers of sword light in his eyes, and the Sword Qi on his body had reached its peak! It was extremely sharp! Even the long sword in his hand was trembling! At this moment, Meng Changqing was like a sharp sword ready to be unsheathed, making it impossible for people to look directly at him!
