115: The third Xuanzi-level talent – ​​Lord of the Blades

"Dao Lord command received, talent Fusion in progress..."

As soon as Lin Yi gave the command, three talents on the attribute panel instantly transformed into three beams of light—two azure and one half-purple, half-azure—and flew out of the attribute panel.

Afterward, the three beams of light intertwined above Lin Yi's Sea of Consciousness, beginning to merge like a sphere.

Within the Void Realm, endless brilliant light radiated in all directions, turning pale azure at times, mystic purple at others, and occasionally an incredibly dazzling radiant gold.

Of course, among these three colors, radiant gold appeared for the shortest duration, roughly one-hundredth of the time, only slightly better than a fleeting flash.

Next was pale azure, occupying about one-tenth of the total time.

As for the remaining nearly nine-tenths of the time, it was mostly mystic purple.

"It seems the probability of evolving a Profound Violet Level Talent this time is truly high!"

Seeing this, Lin Yi was pleasantly surprised.

His luck today was truly Heaven-Defying; he had already drawn a Profound Violet Level Talent, 'Spirit Swallowing Seed,' and now this talent about to successfully merge also had a high probability of being a Profound Violet Level Talent.

Given how powerful the previous two Profound Violet Level Talents, 'Spirit Swallowing Seed' and 'Martial Dao Sacred Body,' were, he wondered just how strong this new talent would be.

Lin Yi waited with immense anticipation.

Just then—

"Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh!"

Within the Void Realm, the three beams of light rapidly merged.

Finally, after merging for about fourteen or fifteen breaths, all the light completely reconsolidated, forming a stable, strange sphere of solid mystic purple in the air.

Then, with a "boom," it exploded, forming lines of brand-new text within Lin Yi's Sea of Consciousness.

"Congratulations, Dao Lord. This talent Fusion was successful. You have obtained the Profound Violet Level Talent—Master of the Blade!"

——————

【Talent: Master of the Blade】

【Rank: mystic purple rank】

【Description: Spiritual blade resonance, as natural as moving one's own arm. Governing the sharp edge, all methods return to the source.

Your relationship with the blade has transcended the "Usage Level" and reached the profound Realm of "Command Level."

You perfectly inherit and significantly strengthen the "Divine Blade Has Spirit" trait. When you Cultivate while holding any blade, the blade spirit no longer merely guides you but completely submits.

It will proactively offer all the Concepts and combat techniques it has imprinted without reservation, granting you an inconceivable boost in martial arts comprehension and Move proficiency.

You are the master of ten thousand blades. With a single thought, all weapons bow their heads; where your edge points is the path of kings.】

——————

"Master of the Blade? Making the blade spirit submit? Proactively offering Concepts? This is my third Profound Violet Level Talent!"

Looking at the description on the attribute panel, Lin Yi's eyes instantly lit up.

In Lin Yi's view, the 'Divine Blade Has Spirit' talent was already extremely powerful. Not only did it allow him to communicate with the spirituality within a divine blade, but it also allowed that spirituality to provide him with the most correct guidance, making his martial arts training progress at a tremendous pace.

But he didn't expect the Master of the Blade talent to be even more powerful! It actually forced the "blade spirit" to submit and proactively offer everything!

The difference between the two was like a mere partnership where, if you wanted the other party to do something for you, you had to coax them and ensure they weren't uncomfortable.

Whereas the other was like the relationship between a god and a fanatic!

With just a word—or even without one—your fanatic would proactively offer everything for you, without regret even in death!

The magnitude of this difference was simply unimaginable!

"Excellent!"

Thinking of this, Lin Yi was filled with endless joy:

"With this talent, from now on, even in daily circumstances, my efficiency in practicing martial arts and comprehending Extreme Strength will likely be several times higher than before."

"Moreover, my Divine Soul underwent a transformation after I broke through the 200-meter mark of the willpower stone pillar, and I still have two soul profound spirit fruits that I haven't consumed yet."

"Once I consume these two soul profound spirit fruits and strengthen my Divine Soul, what level will my cultivation efficiency reach? Eight times the previous rate? Ten times? Or even higher?"

At this thought, Lin Yi immediately reached out and took a strange, completely transparent fruit that looked like crystal into his hand, then swallowed it in a few bites with a "crunch, crunch."

In an instant—

"Whoosh—"

Lin Yi felt as if his body were an invisible black hole, instantly enveloping the entire soul profound spirit fruit.

Then, as the "black hole" operated, the deepest essences hidden within the fruit were rapidly extracted one by one.

Until finally, they all surged into Lin Yi's Sea of Consciousness!

"Boom!"

As this massive medicinal power entered, he felt his mind become crystal clear, as if he could see the world with greater clarity.

His thinking speed and Divine Soul strength grew rapidly at this moment.

Strengthened by ten percent!

Strengthened by twenty percent!

...Strengthened by fifty percent!

...Time passed quickly. In Room Ninety-nine, Lin Yi kept his eyes closed, continuously refining the medicinal power and causing his Divine Soul to undergo a rapid transformation.

After a full half-hour, when Lin Yi opened his eyes again and carefully sensed the changes in his Divine Soul.

Soon, a number surfaced in his mind—

"2.8 times!"

"A single soul profound spirit fruit actually strengthened my Divine Soul by 2.8 times! The effect of this Spirit Swallowing Seed is simply too powerful!"

Lin Yi was shocked.

Based on Sect Master Gu Changsheng's previous deduction, with Lin Yi's current Divine Soul strength—capable of reaching the 175-meter mark of the willpower stone pillar—it would be remarkable if his Divine Soul grew by 1.0 to 1.1 times after consuming one soul profound spirit fruit. With bad luck, it might not even double.

After all, Lin Yi's Divine Soul was already very strong. On such a powerful foundation, even doubling it would provide more Divine Soul power than a tenfold increase from when he first entered the Tianshan Pavilion two years ago.

Thus, for one soul profound spirit fruit, a 1.0-fold increase was normal, 1.05 times was lucky, and 1.1 times was the absolute limit.

But now, it was a full 2.8 times, nearly triple the 1.0-fold mark. This showed just how terrifying the Spirit Swallowing Seed was!

"And this is just from one soul profound spirit fruit; if it were two, it would be 5.6 times!"

"Then, adding the six stalks of the Innate Low Grade cultivation-type Heaven And Earth Treasure, hundred dew grass, and six Innate Low Grade Comprehension Ability-type Medicinal Pills, the spirit comprehension pills."

"In this way, in over a month, my strength might truly reach First Rank Invincible, comparable to Senior Brother Jiang."

Within the room, Lin Yi murmured softly.

Then, he took out another soul profound spirit fruit and swallowed it in a few bites with a "crunch, crunch."
