18: Zhang Wanjun, fusion entry!

Ma Quan, currently before him, was the eldest of the three brothers.

He was also the one with the highest Cultivation Realm.

At this moment, he was still struggling to crawl on the ground.

Lin Wu directly stepped on his back.

"I thought you Demonic Path members were so strong, but it turns out you're nothing special."

"Now tell me all your organization's plans and personnel distribution, and why you came after me."

Ma Quan spat out a mouthful of blood, but his expression remained arrogant. He said with a hint of threat, "If you know what's good for you, let me go quickly. I'm sure you know the methods of the Demonic Path!"

Lin Wu found this statement somewhat amusing.

The person in front of him was too stubborn.

Lin Wu decided to give him a taste of his own medicine.

"I don't know the methods of your Demonic Path, but I'll let you try my methods first!"

Lin Wu once again took out his Blood Flame Spear, casually dipped it in a bit of blood, and then crimson flames rose.

Ma Quan clearly realized something, his face filled with fear, and he crawled tremblingly, completely losing his former arrogance.

Lin Wu continuously seared his wounds with the flames.

Ma Quan writhed on the ground in pain.

Screams echoed through the ruined teaching building, but Lin Wu didn't worry about attracting outsiders, as the school's loudspeaker was playing music.

A thousand-degree flame was terrifying; even ordinary iron could be instantly melted, let alone the flesh and blood before him.

After a minute or two, Ma Quan finally surrendered.

"Let me go, I'll tell you everything!"

Over the next ten minutes or so, Ma Quan revealed everything he knew.

According to him, the entire base city was already filled with many Demonic Path members.

They seemed to be preparing some plan, but because Ma Quan's Rank was too low, he couldn't specify what it was.

As for why they targeted Lin Wu, the reason was that they had made a deal with the Xiao Family.

For funds, they had added a layer of Demonic Path secret technique to the Xiao Family's Young Master, forcibly increasing his strength using the life essence of others.

Their Possession of other people's bodies was also the work of a Demonic Path expert.

"So that's how it is..."

Lin Wu asked a few more questions, and after ensuring there were no omissions, he directly stabbed him to death with a Spear.

After all, interrogation was one thing, but those entries still needed to be collected.

Lin Wu put his Spear into the System backpack and then walked to the side of the trait.

"So the Demonic Path has infiltrated to this extent."

"It seems I need to be more careful, especially since I just killed three Demonic Path members."

Lin Wu observed the dropped entries and collected all the entries of the Demonic Path's three brothers.

"Host, the entries available for Fusion are—

Ma Quan: Mediocre Mental Energy (White), High Intelligence (Green), Basic Demonic Path (Blue), Turtle Breath (Blue), Basic Hidden Weapons (Green).

Ma Jie: Super Stamina (Blue), Basic Hidden Weapons (Green), Track and Field Expert (Green).

Ma Wu: Steel Skin (Blue), Explosive Power (Blue), Demonic Path Novice (Green), Unstable Foundation (White)."

Lin Wu took a quick look.

The Demonic Path entries were clearly not suitable.

These entries would reduce sanity and intelligence, and fusing such entries would clearly be putting the cart before the horse.

Hidden weapon-related entries, however, could be absorbed.

Track and Field Expert was a speed-type trait, but it couldn't compare to the already fused Lightning Speed.

Steel Skin overlapped; the System supported similar types fusing with each other, but not repeated Fusion of the same trait.

Explosive Power was indeed a good trait, but the problem was also serious because it would reduce intelligence!

So, after excluding those with major side effects and duplicates, the entries that could be absorbed were—Mediocre Mental Energy (White), High Intelligence (Green), Super Stamina (Blue), and Basic Hidden Weapons (Green)!

Lin Wu first absorbed Mediocre Mental Energy.

Although this trait was only White, it had no side effects.

It was obviously perfect for building the Foundation of Mental Energy.

High Intelligence could increase Cultivation speed, and Super Stamina could enhance Extraordinary Endurance.

Basic Hidden Weapons could be considered somewhat useful.

As the first Mental Energy trait fused, Lin Wu felt a mysterious power rush directly to his brain; this power had the effect of transforming the brain.

Lin Wu felt his Mental Energy rapidly increasing!

"Now my Mental Energy should be more than five times what it was originally!"

Lin Wu was quite surprised.

This level of improvement usually required a long period of arduous Cultivation.

Moreover, Mental Energy was not something that could be gained through arduous Cultivation alone; it depended entirely on individual talent.

Either you had it, or you didn't!

Lin Wu then found his brain and eyes clearer than ever before, and his perception was also greatly enhanced!

A few minutes later, all entries were fused!

Lin Wu brought up the System panel.

"Name: Lin Wu"

"Realm: Body Tempering Realm, Second Level"

"Strength: 7470kg"

"Qi and Blood: 2517 calories"

"Speed: 241m/s"

"Spirit: 80 Hz"

"Cultivation Technique: Dragon Country Basic..."

"Martial Skill:

Rainstorm Pear Blossom Spear (Major Achievement | 4%)"

"Spirit-type entries: Mediocre Mental Energy (White), Considerable Comprehension (Purple), High Intelligence (Green), Considerable Charisma (Green)"

"Entries: Alloy Defense (Blue | 11 times Steel), Basic Spear Technique (Blue), One Elephant's Strength (Blue), Lightning Speed (Blue), Turtle Breath (Blue), Super Stamina (Blue), Basic Hidden Weapons (Green), Qi and Blood Like an Ox (Green)"

"Backpack: Blood Flame Spear"

"My Qi and Blood increased a little, and my Mental Energy multiplied five times!"

Lin Wu was shocked.

A Mental Energy of 80 points already surpassed 99% of Martial Artists at the same Rank. Mental Energy could be transformed into Mental Energy, directly affecting objects in reality!

"No wonder Mental Energy entries are so rare; even the lowest White Rank provides such a significant boost, let alone higher Ranks!"

At the same time, Lin Wu also discovered a new section in the System, called Spirit-type entries.

Upon asking the System, he learned that this section was mainly used to distinguish Spirit-type, intelligence-type, Cultivation talent-type, and some miscellaneous items.

The section below, on the other hand, was for physical body enhancements, and so on.

"The mastery of Rainstorm Pear Blossom Spear has also improved; it seems actual combat has a certain enhancing effect!"

Lin Wu also felt that he had indeed improved a lot during actual combat.

"Let's test Mental Energy..."

"I remember that Demonic Path member seemed to have used Mental Energy to influence flying knives during combat."

Lin Wu tried to project Mental Energy according to Martial Dao methods!

A few seconds later, Lin Wu felt as if something had been drawn from his brain... "Projection successful!"

Lin Wu tried to use Mental Energy to control a small pebble on the ground.

In a single breath, the pebble trembled and floated up.

Lin Wu controlled it to move continuously!

The small pebble seemed to have a life of its own, flying around.

"Although I can't directly control weapons to kill people, changing their trajectory in the air to achieve a surprise effect is still possible."

Lin Wu was having a great time.

Meanwhile, outside the abandoned teaching building, several people in the exclusive uniforms of the Martial Arts Association were rapidly approaching.

"Captain, look, that's Lin Wu!"

In this small team, the one referred to as Captain was Zhang Wanjun.

She was Governor Zhang's granddaughter!
