11: Martial arts techniques fused, first tier, ninth level!

The exchange video between the two universities quickly spread across the Dragon Country internet.

As the Freshman Grand Competition approached.

Acts of this communicative nature were not uncommon.

But a scene this brutal and overwhelming, damn, that's rare!

"Holy crap!"

"Ritian University!"

"What an awesome name!"

"Upstairs commenter."

"It's Haotian University. Can you read the name carefully instead of skimming?"

"My bad, my bad."

"Who is this Lin Yan?"

"I didn't see this person during the college entrance exam."

"I have a cousin at this school."

"It's a First-Class Academy newly established this year."

"It is said he is a Prodigy of Post-Heaven Awakening."

"Yesterday, during their monthly exam, he directly defeated their Special Class on the spot, and then the golden radiance of SSS-rank Talent appeared."

"The brutality of the scene at that time was even greater."

"I didn't expect..."

"In just one day, he went to wreak havoc on another First-Class University."

"Hiss..."

"A Second-Order Second Layer was actually instantly killed by him across ranks."

"That pig face, it looks painful just watching."

"How many ranks did he cross?!"

"Three ranks, brother!"

"I know this Jing Pengtian; he has S-rank Talent."

"This Lin Yan's combat power has definitely reached Second-Order Third Layer!"

"What terrifying combat power!"

"He rivals those Prodigies among The Four Great Ones!"

The freshmen leaders of all First-Class Academies in Dragon Country looked solemn.

This kid... The eyes of the Prodigies of The Four Great Ones who saw this message flickered.

They saw even more.

This Lin Yan... they silently made comparisons in their hearts.

At First-Order Eighth Layer, they could at most fight across ranks against a Second-Order Second Layer.

To win, they still had to consider the opponent.

Instead of overwhelmingly pinning the head of an S-rank Genius to the ground like in the video.

A Red-Haired Youth with disdainful eyes simultaneously appeared in their minds.

Fortunately, this guy underwent Acquired Awakening, so neither his cultivation nor his Martial Skill is high.

He shouldn't pose a threat in the Freshman Grand Competition... "System."

"If I don't use charge value, how long will it take me to absorb these two Spirit Medicine?"

"Ding."

"Given the Host's current cultivation plus the Overlord Body enhancement, absorption can be completed in four nights."

Four nights... Lin Yan, walking along the internal roads of Haotian University, pondered.

The time is certainly enough.

Then there's absolutely no need to spend charge value.

"The handsome class monitor of class sixteen."

"Lin Yan."

Discussions came from both sides.

"He just came back from Anyi University, right?"

"He's so fierce!"

"Single-handedly crushed them."

"The video has gone viral online."

"He definitely held back yesterday on the sports field."

"He's so handsome!"

"What should I do? I'm smitten!"

"Tch."

"You didn't pursue him when he had no strength; what's the use of being smitten now? Does he even look at you?"

"Didn't you see Zuo Zhu, the beautiful freshman campus belle of Anyi University, was also kicked away?"

"Speaking of which."

"Miao Yun, Xi Leng, and Shen Han from our school also received the same treatment yesterday."

"Do you think Prodigy Lin Yan is...?"

Lin Yan's eyes beneath his sword-like eyebrows showed a slight fluctuation.

He didn't expect that his actions, done for the sake of charge value, would lead him to be treated as a strange species.

He continued forward, completely unconcerned.

For an Overlord, two or three friends are enough.

What others think, what does it have to do with me?

A sincere face and a stern face appeared in his mind.

"Brother Yan."

"You should choose Magic Capital!"

"It's best if it's closer to Magic Martial University."

"If anyone dares to bully you then, Cheng Zi and I will come over and beat them to death!"

"Chuan Zi is right."

A faint smile appeared at the corner of his mouth.

Those two kids, there hasn't been any movement even on his birthday today.

"Drip..."

"First Year Lin Yan, identification successful."

An electronic sound rang out, the door of the Martial Arts Technique Building slowly opened, and Lin Yan stepped inside.

Yesterday, the charge value was insufficient.

Now he wants to try out what Martial Skill Fusion is all about.

Instantly.

A spacious, empty hall with a strong sense of space appeared before him.

The entire floor was unusually quiet, with only faint sounds of breathing and footsteps.

He casually glanced at the many figures immersed in their own worlds and stepped toward one of the unoccupied halos.

A block of special material engraved with the two large characters "Savage Fist."

On Azure Star, it is called a martial skill stone.

He reached out and touched the halo.

"Drip.."

"First Year Lin Yan."

"No need to consume academic credits, you may learn."

A very faint sound rang out.

Lin Yan picked up the martial skill stone without any hindrance.

Instantly.

A large stream of information poured directly into his mind.

"Ding!"

"yellow extreme Low Grade Martial Skill detected. Do you wish to consume 10% charge value for direct Fusion?"

"It is estimated that Peerless National Martial Arts can be upgraded to yellow extreme Medium Grade Major Achievement, along with a slight increase in cultivation."

Lin Yan raised an eyebrow.

"Then if I fuse another yellow extreme Low Grade Martial Skill, can I upgrade Peerless National Martial Arts to yellow extreme Medium Grade Perfection?"

"Ding!"

"Yes."

"What if I fuse a yellow extreme Medium Grade Martial Skill?"

The System's answer was concise and to the point.

"Consume 20%, Medium Grade Perfection."

Then, as if it knew what he wanted to ask.

"Direct Fusion of yellow extreme High Grade at the current stage requires massive consumption."

"It is recommended that the Host performs Fusion step-by-step for gradual improvement."

"After the Martial Skill reaches yellow extreme Medium Grade Perfection, fusing a yellow extreme High Grade Martial Skill consumes 30%."

So that's how it is.

A hint of realization flashed across Lin Yan's face.

He completely understood.

"How long would it take me to normally Cultivate a yellow extreme Low Grade to Perfection?"

"Ding."

"Twenty days."

Twenty days... He didn't know how long SSS-rank would take.

But he remembered the time Xue Cheng and Lian Chuan, who had SS-rank Talent, said it took them to practice a yellow extreme Low Grade Martial Skill to Perfection.

Four months.

Why hesitate then?

"Fusion."

Instantly.

Lin Yan felt that all the blurred points in the numerous images he had just encountered became clear, and the meridian pathway within his body also showed a noticeable increase.

Then.

"Ding!"

"Fusion successful."

Lin Yan clenched his fist, his eyes filled with surprise.

"That's it?"

He didn't seem to feel anything.

"Host."

"Under Peerless National Martial Arts, you are already intimately familiar with all kinds of Moves."

"The purpose of Fusion is to enhance Martial Skill quality and strengthen the amplification."

"Furthermore."

"You can now freely utilize the Perfection-level abilities of the fused Martial Skill."

Lin Yan understood.

The feeling of the Savage Fist being as easy to use as an arm felt fine.

He looked at another unoccupied halo and walked over.

Then, without even looking at the name on the martial skill stone, he reached out and picked it up.

No wonder the System said when activated that those Martial Skills with only fancy names were unnecessary.

Indeed.

Those things are nothing more than slightly flashier.

Once fused, it was still more satisfying to use Huaxia National Martial Arts and Halberd Technique.

"Fusion."

"Ding!"

"Fusion successful."

Lin Yan glanced at the System panel.

[Martial Skill]: Peerless National Martial Arts (yellow extreme Medium Grade Perfection)

He nodded in satisfaction.

Next up is Halberd Technique.

"The Halberd is the King of All Weapons."

"Any long weapon should work, right?"

"Ding."

"It can."

Alright.

His movements were fast.

When he consumed another 20% charge value.

The moment Peerless Halberd Technique reached yellow extreme Medium Grade Perfection.

Boom—!

The Qi and blood in his body suddenly surged.

A sharp light flashed in Lin Yan's eyes.

first-order ninth-level, achieved!

He glanced at the stairs on the side of the hall.

Above was the floor for yellow extreme Medium Grade Martial Skills.

He still had 40% charge value, so he wouldn't go up.

He would go back to Cultivate for a bit, and then enter the Virtual Battle Network to see if he could gain anything.

Without Cultivation resources, if he wanted to advance further, he would have to try the lottery.
