Dreams and fists shatter the sky

Chapter 232: The Luckiest Guy Alive

In the quiet basement, Ye An looked up, deep in thought as he recounted his tale, his face filled with nostalgia as if he were reliving that snowy scene.

Ji Qing, standing on tiptoes, watched Ye An with a faint smile.

Finally, Ye An nodded heavily, saying, "That definitely counts as the first time I've ever seen snow in my life."

Ji Qing playfully replied, "That doesn't count. Real snowy days are much more beautiful than that day."

Ye An shook his head without arguing, choosing silence.

In truth, the image of that snow had already become very vague in his memory.

Ji Qing was right.

The Demon King's domain was pitch black, and in his near-death state, his vision was blurry, unable to see clearly around him.

Yet Ye An still felt it was the most beautiful snow he had ever seen.

But it was probably not because of the snow itself, but because of the figure in the snow.

Suddenly, he turned to look at Ji Qing, who blushed as she asked, "What's wrong?"

Ye An shook his head, his expression complex.

It was strange.

He could talk with Ji Qing about anything, discussing life, ideals, everything about cultivation, sharing many heartfelt thoughts. He could honestly speak out most of his thoughts, even the foolish ones like the notion of "ultimate evil" that smacked of adolescent fantasy.

He could say all those things, but he couldn't say the words like, "I think that snow was beautiful because of you."

It was as if something was lodged in his heart.

Ji Qing suddenly tilted her head, frowned, and asked, "Ye An, you've been acting strange lately."

"Where?" Ye An's heart skipped a beat.

"You often look at me without speaking, but seem like you want to say something."

"You never used to be like this."

"Have you encountered some difficulties?"

"Have I?" Ye An raised an eyebrow.

"Yes, you have," Ji Qing looked at Ye An suspiciously.

Ye An, however, suddenly changed the subject and said, "Let's eat, let's eat."

Then he shifted the conversation again, "Do you know how to use this Dao Stone?"

Ji Qing took a few sips of soup and ate a couple of spoonfuls, thinking Ye An was the best person and shouldn't be angered, then calmed down and said seriously, "Direct absorption."

"After absorbing it, there will be a pure force in your body, like glue. You just need to place the two runes inside."

"Okay." Ye An frowned thoughtfully, saying, "I heard from Liu the blacksmith yesterday that my landslide and Xuanwu power should be considered skills of the same source."

"The success rate can reach seventy to eighty."

"He also has special means to help me increase the success rate again."

"But I'm still worried. If I fail, both the Xuanwu power and the landslide skill runes will be lost."

Ji Qing heard this, also worried.

No way.

In addition to the Dao Stone, all other Dao Stones have cases of failure and cannot achieve one hundred percent success.

This is a problem that everyone who uses Dao Stone will inevitably face.

What if it fails?

More than just a reduction in combat power, I'm afraid it will become a level three cripple.

In the end, Ye An thought, let's go and ask Liu the blacksmith tomorrow.

At night, Ye An practiced as usual.

At night, he seemed to have a sweet dream.

Early the next morning, Ye An was in very good spirits and immediately set off to Liu's blacksmith shop.

I didn't see his son yesterday, probably going with Huang Zexun.

The person who greeted Ye An was not Liu Jun, but the real Liu Dahao.

Ye An frowned.

He looked at the person in front of him, feeling strange.

But the two looked exactly alike, even speaking in the same tone, Ye An didn't think much about it.

"What did you say yesterday about making a weapon?" Liu Dahao asked.

Ye An quickly shook his head and said, "That can be put off for now."

"What I want to know now is, did you tell me yesterday that you could increase my fusion rune success rate?"

Liu Dahao nodded and said, "Of course."

"How are you going to do it?" Ye An was a little nervous.

Liu Dahao said calmly, "You should understand rune fusion."

"The Dao Stone is the adhesive."

"This adhesive has many uses, and there are many details in the bonding process."

"And some special talents, as well as superb techniques, can help you bond more easily."

"All the above points I have."

Ye An frowned and said, "So, after I absorb the Dao Stone, I'll hand it over to you for bonding?"

"Right." Liu Dahao nodded calmly.

"How much is the success rate?"

"Let me see the two runes you want to fuse."

Ye An quickly displayed the power of Xuanwu and the landslide skill runes.

After Liu Dahao finished reading, he pondered for a long time.

"The level of Xuanwu's power is very high, and the landslide is also an epic martial art."

"Although the two are of the same origin, if there are only ten Dao Stones, even with my help, the highest success rate is still only about 75 to 80."

"But I think you can rest assured, Ye An."

"Your success rate should be over ninety."

"Ah?" Ye An was surprised and said, "Didn't you just say seventy to eighty?"

Liu Dahao said calmly, "That's for others to fuse these two runes, but you're different."

"You are a person with great luck."

"In worldly terms, you are the luckiest guy alive."

"And it's verifiable, a true lucky guy."

"Any gambling-related thing you do, your chances of winning will be higher than ordinary people, and not by a small margin."

"This..." Ye An's face stiffened.

Why does it sound unreliable?

Liu Dahao continued calmly, "Compare three shops."

"If you want my help, I'll definitely ask you to pay some price."

"But before that, you can go find other experts in rune fusion."

"See what kind of success rate they can offer you."

Ye An fell silent.

Liu Dahao leisurely drew on his pipe, not in a hurry, full of confidence, even a hint of arrogance.

Suddenly, Ye An looked up and said, "I have one thing that's different from everyone else."

"What?" Liu Dahao frowned.

"I have a dream."

"You mean talent?"

"Of course, I can simulate many things in my dreams, perhaps including rune fusion. I don't understand much about this knowledge. I want to say if I can practice, will the success rate be higher?"

After listening, Liu Dahao showed a faint smile on his face and said, "It will definitely be."

"I can even say that if the fusion of runes can be rehearsed repeatedly, I can increase the success rate to 99.9%."

"Ah? Isn't it one hundred percent?"

"Nothing is absolute." Liu Dahao was quite calm and calm.
