83: Half-step Profound Purple level talent - My heart is as hard as iron!

"Congratulations, Dao Lord. This Talent Evolution was successful. The Dao Lord has obtained the Azure-level Talent—Will Growth!"

——————

[Talent: Will Growth]

[Rank: Azure-level Talent]

[Description: You were born with an extraordinary Talent for willpower. In... you are a peerless Prodigy in the Dao of Willpower!]

——————

"What! Will Growth! I actually evolved this Talent again!"

Seeing this line of text, Lin Yi's eyes widened, followed by an immediate surge of wild joy in his heart.

With this evolution of the "Will Growth" Talent, combined with the previous "Resilient Will" and the initial "Will Growth" Talent, he had now gathered three willpower-type Talents.

After gathering three willpower-type Talents, according to the rules of the Immortal Skill "Talent Fusion," he could fuse these three Talents into a much more powerful one.

Since "Will Growth" was already an Azure-level Talent, if he fused them again, could it be that he would fuse a Profound Violet Level Talent?

Thinking of this, Lin Yi was incredibly excited.

A Profound Violet Level Talent was a peerless Talent seen once in a hundred billion people; there were likely very few in the entire history of the Heavenly Mountain Sect.

He already had the "Martial Dao Sacred Body," a Profound Violet Level Talent for physical Aptitude. If he gained another Profound Violet Level Talent for willpower...

Then looking across the thousand-year history of the Heavenly Mountain Sect, in terms of Talent alone, perhaps no Genius or Prodigy could compare to him!

His eyes gleamed, and his heart was filled with endless joy.

At that moment, lines of text appeared before Lin Yi within his Sea of Consciousness.

"Buzz!"

"Detected that the Dao Lord has three willpower-type Talents of the same category, meeting the minimum requirements for Talent Fusion!"

"Does the Dao Lord wish to fuse these three willpower-type Talents now?"

"Yes!"

"Instruction received. Fusing Talents..."

As soon as Lin Yi gave the command, on the attribute panel, the two Azure-level "Will Growth" Talents and one bright yellow rank "Saber Dao Genius" Talent instantly transformed into three beams of light—two azure and one yellow—and flew out of the attribute panel.

Afterward, the three beams of light intertwined above his Sea of Consciousness, beginning to combine and fuse like a spherical orb of light.

Endless brilliant light scattered, turning bright yellow, then azure, then profound violet, and even occasionally into a blinding Radiant Gold.

Of course, the time it turned Radiant Gold was very short, almost negligible. Most of the time, the orb emitted an azure light, followed by profound violet, while bright yellow was rare, and there was no scarlet or pure white at all.

"Swish, swish, swish!"

Just like that, the three beams of light fused rapidly in the Void Realm.

Finally, after about four or five breaths of time, all the light gathered again, forming a stable and strange sphere that was half azure and half mystic purple in the air.

Then... *Boom!*

With a loud explosion, the sphere formed new lines of text in the void of Lin Yi's Sea of Consciousness.

"Congratulations, Dao Lord. This Talent Fusion was successful. The Dao Lord has obtained the half-step mystic purple rank Talent—My Heart is Like Iron!"

——————

[Talent: My Heart is Like Iron]

[Rank: half-step mystic purple rank]

[Description: My Heart is Like Iron, indestructible; even in a desperate situation, I shall not falter!]

A special Talent formed by fusing two Azure-level "Will Growth" Talents and the bright yellow rank "Resilient Will," surpassing the azure rank but not yet reaching the mystic purple rank.

With this Talent, you are born as a Prodigy in the Dao of Willpower. In daily life and Cultivation, your willpower strength will automatically and rapidly increase along with the growth of your power, the evolution of your state of mind, and your age.

If you intentionally train your willpower or use external items to assist in its enhancement, your willpower's growth speed will be incredibly fast, enough to be out of reach for the rest of the world!

Furthermore, when facing a desperate situation, your willpower's growth speed will become even more rapid, achieving Breakthrough-like terrifying results akin to a martial arts Epiphany.

You are a peerless Prodigy in the Dao of Willpower, seen once in ten billion people!]

——————

"My Heart is Like Iron! A half-step mystic purple rank Talent! A peerless Prodigy seen once in ten billion people!"

"This... there's actually such a Talent on the attribute panel!"

Seeing the text on the attribute panel, Lin Yi's head was a bit dazed.

Because when evolving Talents on the Starry Sky Scroll before, the different Ranks of Talents were always clearly defined—one was one, two was two! Azure-level was Azure-level! Profound Violet Level was Profound Violet Level!

But now, this Talent Fusion had actually fused a half-step mystic purple rank Talent for him?

"Could it be because the gap between Profound Violet Level Talent and Azure-level Talent is too large, and I didn't provide enough quantity or quality of Talents for Fusion this time, so the final Fusion couldn't reach the profound violet level but surpassed the azure rank, resulting in this outcome?"

Lin Yi speculated in his heart.

Although the jump from azure rank to mystic purple rank is a hundredfold leap, just like the jump from bright yellow rank to azure rank, the former is a leap from one billion to a hundred billion, while the latter is only from ten million to one billion.

Calculated this way, the fraction of the former far exceeds the latter.

Therefore, the gap between the two is naturally even more massive, and the difficulty of a Talent Fusion leap is naturally higher.

Two azure ranks and one bright yellow rank were still quite a bit short after all.

"Whew! Forget it, a half-step mystic purple rank Talent is fine!"

After sorting out all the logic, Lin Yi let out a light breath:

"Although a half-step mystic purple rank Talent isn't as good as a true Profound Violet Level Talent, it's still much stronger than an Azure-level Talent."

"And more importantly, this 'My Heart is Like Iron' actually has a huge bonus when facing a desperate situation."

"This Talent is practically tailor-made for my Heart Like Pure Ice Talent! The two can coordinate perfectly!"

Lin Yi's eyes instantly flashed with infinite brilliance:

"This way, as long as I use the willpower stone pillar to hone my will a month from now and deliberately push myself, forcing my will into a desperate situation and intentionally exhausting myself to the point of fainting."

"Then every time I push myself like this, my willpower will likely receive an unimaginable boost immediately. This growth speed might even be more impressive than Senior Brother Jiang Hanhan's true Profound Violet Level Talent!"

"By operating this way, when three months have passed and I compete in willpower with Chu Xiong again, what level will my willpower have reached?"

Thinking of this, Lin Yi's heart welled up with infinite curiosity and anticipation.

A willpower Talent surpassing the profound violet level, followed by three months of frantic growth—how terrifying will this progress be?

To this question, even Lin Yi himself, or any of the Innate experts of the Heavenly Mountain Sect, would be unable to provide an answer.

Because in the history of the Heavenly Mountain Sect, there has never been a Genius with a willpower Talent surpassing the profound violet level; even in the history of the entire Nine Provinces, people with such Talent are few and far between.

Some of these peerless prodigies kept their information absolutely secret, while others were public, but because their cultivation environments and other conditions differed from Lin Yi's, there was very little for reference.

In short, trying to calculate Lin Yi's willpower progress speed through historical geniuses is almost impossible.

"Whatever!"

Inside the room, Lin Yi shook his head, and then a smile appeared on his face:

"Anyway, with the 'My Heart is Like Iron' Talent, no matter what, my willpower will definitely receive an incredible boost in three months."

"Additionally, with the help of the myriad laws stone wall, Talent, Martial Dao Sacred Body, mother pool of the scarlet dragon, Secret Manual Insights, and other treasures and Talents, my Martial Arts Techniques, Realm, and Force Exertion Realm will also see significant improvements."

"As for exactly how much it will improve?"

"Let's leave everything to time!"
