96: The wonderful use of extraordinary talent and comprehension

Hum!

"Detected that the Dao Lord has three similar types of talents, reaching the minimum requirement for talent Fusion!"

"Does the Dao Lord wish to fuse these three potential-bursting talents now?"

...Just as Lin Yi was shocked and ecstatic, a line of text suddenly appeared in his mind.

"No!"

Seeing this text, Lin Yi immediately replied.

You see, he had a total of three chances for Talent Evolution this time, and he had only used two so far; there was still one chance left!

In the next opportunity, if his luck truly exploded and he evolved another "Heart Like Pure Ice" or a similar Azure-level Talent...

...then with the potential of three azures and one yellow, although it was still unlikely to fuse into a mystic purple rank talent, it would definitely be able to fuse into a more powerful "half-step mystic purple rank" talent.

After all, there were even gaps between half-step mystic purple rank talents!

For instance, a half-step mystic purple rank talent that only appeared once in ten billion people and a mystic purple rank talent that appeared once in fifty billion people were simply incomparable; the latter was bound to be far stronger than the former.

"So, it all depends on my luck today!"

Lin Yi thought expectantly.

At this moment, on the attribute panel, as Lin Yi refused the Fusion, the lines of text quickly disappeared, reforming into a vast and massive Starry Sky Scroll within his Sea of Consciousness.

Upon it, stars of four colors—yellow, azure, purple, and gold—shone brightly.

Among them, the proportion of yellow stars had dropped to only about 40% or 41%.

The proportion of azure stars, for the first time, surpassed the yellow stars, reaching a terrifying 55%, greatly increasing Lin Yi's probability of drawing an Azure-level Talent!

Of course, the most exciting part was that the purple stars, which had remained stubbornly below 1%, actually made a Breakthrough in this Starry Sky Scroll, reaching a terrifying level of over 3%!

Although this value was still not high, it at least gave Lin Yi hope. He believed that as long as he persisted, by the next time or the time after that, the proportion would definitely grow higher and higher until he could easily draw one.

As for the highest gold stars, they were still pitifully few, barely increasing since the last time, hardly worth mentioning!

Swish!

While Lin Yi was lost in thought...

...a brilliant star suddenly plummeted from the Starry Sky Scroll.

The color was none other than—azure!

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

——————

[Talent: Blade Path Prodigy]

[Grade: Azure-level]

[Introduction: You are an unparalleled Prodigy of the Blade Path who appears once in a billion people. You are born with...]

——————

"Blade Path Prodigy?"

Looking at the lines of introduction on the attribute panel, Lin Yi was slightly stunned, and a hint of disappointment rose in his heart.

Because since the last time he fused three major talents at Dongshan Martial Academy, the only blade path talent he had left was the fused "Blade Path Prodigy."

And now another Blade Path Prodigy had appeared. Although it could stack with the previous one, it would at most bring him to the level of a Genius appearing once in two or three billion people, which was far inferior to talent Fusion.

As for comparing it to drawing a potential-bursting talent, it was even further behind.

"But... sigh, forget it!"

Lin Yi shook his head gently and sighed:

"This time I only evolved my talent three times, and being able to evolve two potential-bursting talents within those three attempts is already a stroke of immense luck for me."

"After all, potential-bursting talents are extremely rare, likely no less so than willpower-type talents."

"If I had evolved potential-bursting talents in all three attempts today, that would have been abnormal instead."

"As for Blade Path Prodigy? It's at least an Azure-level Talent, and a blade path one at that. Not only can it help me quickly improve my Martial Arts Techniques Realm, but it can also rapidly increase my Force Exertion Realm. It's not bad!"

"attribute panel, fuse the talents for me!"

With that thought, Lin Yi immediately commanded the attribute panel.

As Lin Yi's command fell, six rays of light flew out from the attribute panel simultaneously.

"Eh? Why are there six?"

Seeing this scene, Lin Yi was instantly stunned.

At this moment, in the void of the Sea of Consciousness, those six rays of light clustered into two groups of three and began to fuse together.

One group of three—two azures and one yellow—consisted of the three potential-bursting talents: "Heart Like Pure Ice," "Heart Like Pure Ice," and "Thought Like Bedrock."

The other group of three—two azures and one yellow—turned out to be "Blade Path Prodigy," "Blade Path Prodigy," and the bright yellow rank talent he drew last time, "Extraordinary Comprehension"!

"What! Extraordinary Comprehension... this talent can actually be used like this?"

Seeing this, Lin Yi was also bewildered.

Extraordinary Comprehension was a jack-of-all-trades comprehension talent, a "master of none" type. In Lin Yi's eyes, it couldn't compare to a specialized bright yellow rank talent like "Blade Dao Prodigy."

So Lin Yi remembered being quite dismissive when he first drew this talent, but he never expected it to have such a miraculous effect.

"That's it!"

After a moment of daze, Lin Yi finally came to his senses, his eyes shining with endless excitement.

"'Master of none' has never been a positive phrase, but if you look at it the other way, it also means it knows a bit of everything regarding comprehension—which naturally includes blade path comprehension!"

"Talent Fusion is meant for talents of the same type to fuse and evolve. Since Extraordinary Comprehension includes a part of blade path comprehension, it can naturally fuse with 'Blade Path Prodigy,' which also belongs to the 'blade path comprehension' category!"

"This way, everything makes sense!"

With this thought, Lin Yi's heart was filled with immense excitement and joy.

In the void, those six rays were rapidly fusing and evolving.

Endless brilliant light scattered, turning bright yellow, then azure, then mystic purple, and sometimes even a blinding brilliant gold.

Finally, after about four or five breaths of Fusion, all the light completely converged in the void once more, forming two stable, strange spheres that were half-azure and half-mystic purple.

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