Starting with the titmouse, seventy-two transformations

Chapter 245 Talent: The Power to Uproot Mountains

Before my eyes, the ink-wash light and shadow surged, eventually coalescing into a Bagua furnace.

It circulates the two energies of Yin and Yang, possessing extraordinary charm and exuding a high-class aura.

At the same time, the four talents, "Copper Skin and Iron Bones," "Standing Firm," "Divine Strength," and "Great Strength," shone with extraordinary light.

"Can copper skin and iron bones fuse with the earth, and divine power with immense strength? When fusing, one must choose the primary and secondary elements..."

Liu Sheng contacted the object with his divine sense and received considerable feedback.

When merging talents, it's important to distinguish between primary and secondary talents. The new talent created through fusion will be based on the previously designated "primary talent" and will incorporate the advantages of the "secondary talent".

Once the fusion is complete, the new talent will be shared with the corresponding avatar.

Of the twenty-four talents he currently possesses, only two pairs of talents are fusionable.

After trying them one by one, he couldn't help but frown.

If the body is made of copper and iron, it strengthens the defense, forming a layer of stone armor on the surface.

As long as its feet are firmly planted on the ground, it can continuously draw energy from the earth to maintain its stone armor, unless it is instantly pierced.

However, the effects of restoring physical strength, blood and qi, essence and true qi will no longer be retained.

If you fuse the "Earth" talent as the main attribute, it will not only greatly enhance the recovery effect, but also allow you to recover from internal and external injuries by absorbing the earth's energy.

However, the body's rigidity will be relatively weakened, but this can be improved by absorbing the earth's energy.

It can be described as a divine skill in land warfare.

However, the effect of this talent is greatly reduced in the sky or water.

The Yin Water Dragon is in the water, while the Golden-Toothed White Elephant is on land.

If they merge, it will enhance the White Elephant's combat power, but it will also weaken the Yin Water Dragon's combat power in the water...

This combination is not quite right.

On the contrary, the remaining "divine power" and "great strength" are a good match.

[Divine Strength (Talent)]: The strongest land elephant. Those who possess this talent have unparalleled divine strength, capable of uprooting mountains and collapsing peaks, and are indestructible.

【Innate Strength】: Possessing the strength of an ox, capable of defeating a lion or tiger. Those who possess this talent are born with immense strength, capable of pulling down nine oxen, their ferocity unmatched.

Of these two talents, "Divine Power" is superior to "Great Strength." After merging, it's unknown whether it will raise the talent level of "Divine Power."

Let's give it a try.

With a thought, Liu Sheng's innate "divine power" was selected and placed in the main position within the Eight Trigrams Furnace, flowing with a deep blue glow.

At the same time, the innate "Great Strength" flowed with a light blue glow, flew into the furnace, and seemed to melt, transforming into a blue light that was injected into the innate "Divine Power".

"Buzz~"

Inside the Bagua Furnace, black and white flames rose up, as if the furnace fire was blazing fiercely.

Before long, the noise stopped, and a blue-purple radiance flew out of the furnace, its momentum astonishing.

A wisp of purple light flowed through the deep blue, indicating that its quality was approaching that of a Great Demon-level talent.

[Mountain-Lifting Power Lv4]

"The power to uproot mountains, that sounds pretty awesome..."

Liu Sheng rubbed his fingers together, a little excited. With a thought, he clicked on the introduction—

[Mountain-Moving Power (Talent) lv4]: With the strength to uproot mountains and the spirit to overwhelm the world. Those who possess this talent have the strength to uproot mountains, the spirit to swallow thousands of miles, and are invincible, capable of taking on a thousand men single-handedly.

……

This talent is amazing. After being enhanced, one will possess the strength to uproot mountains and have a long, powerful breath. When fighting against a larger force with fewer troops, one's strength will also increase.

The more enemies there are, the more your strength increases.

This is great.

The specific effects still need to be tested to be clear, but literally speaking, it is of great help to him.

Especially when outnumbered, it can be very helpful to turn the tide.

It's also a level 4 talent, but it completely surpasses the previous "Divine Strength" and "Great Strength".

In addition, this talent is shared by the two incarnations, the Golden-Toothed White Elephant and the Silver-Horned Thunder Ox.

Comparatively speaking, the improvement to Silver Horned Thunder Bull is significant, and in terms of strength, it is no less than Golden Toothed White Elephant.

However, the Golden-Toothed White Elephant possesses the talent of "standing on the ground," making it virtually invincible on land. In close combat, it could easily defeat the Silver-Horned Thunder Bull. But in water or in a place abundant with lightning, the situation might be reversed.

The cost was only 2000 points of spiritual energy.

"Next, it's time to raise your talent level..."

Liu Sheng calmed down, glanced at the twenty-three talents on the panel, and finally chose "Blade Heart".

Now that he has achieved true mastery, his blood has given rise to delusions, but because he has mastered many martial arts to the extreme, his delusions are exceptionally powerful.

If one cannot find a unique skill to refine and is unwilling to abandon their current skills, improving the "Blade Heart" talent can suppress delusions to the greatest extent.

[Would you like to consume 10000 Spirit Points to upgrade the talent 'Blade Heart'?]

Ten thousand points?

It's like being resurrected once...

So expensive!

Liu Sheng licked his lips, hesitated for a moment, and then agreed.

After all, he needed to test the effects of the new feature, and he couldn't do it without spending money.

[Talent "Blade Heart" lv4→lv5]

【Blade Heart (Talent) lv5】: A heart as hard as iron, forged into a sharp edge through countless trials. Those who possess the "Blade Heart" will find their swordsmanship aided by divine intervention, their minds gleaming with light, capable of cutting through all distractions and delusions.

"Good! Good! Good!"

After a brief assessment, Liu Sheng was overjoyed. Looking at the only talent on the panel that was glowing with purple light, "Blade Heart," he was completely relieved.

The "Blade Heart" talent after advancement belongs to the level of a great demon.

After being empowered, in addition to being able to quickly master many sword techniques and use his mind as a sword to cut off all kinds of distracting thoughts and delusions, he can also strike the mind of the enemy from a distance of about ten feet!
Forge the sword with your mind, cutting away all distracting thoughts and delusions within, and striking the enemy's mind and spirit without.

If physical attacks are the physical realm, and strength and internal energy are the magical realm, then mental attacks are "real" damage that ignores defense.

It is a manifestation of the will of martial arts.

Unless you've built armor on a mental level, it's like being stabbed repeatedly, and you won't even know how you died.

As expected of a level 5 talent of a great demon, it's incredibly powerful!

Overjoyed, Liu Sheng wanted to see just how powerful a level 6 talent would be, so a thought struck him—

[Would you like to consume 100000 Spirit Points to upgrade the talent 'Blade Heart'?]

[Insufficient spiritual energy detected. Upgrade failed. Please change your upgrade target.]

"One hundred thousand..."

Liu Sheng looked at the remaining 74,000+ spiritual energy points and licked his lips.

He touched the golden-patterned bottle in his hand. If he really wanted to try, he only needed to eat one more drop of willow branch nectar to accumulate enough spiritual energy.

But doing that would be too wasteful.

After all, this nectar has the power to bring the dead back to life.

Du Bingyan was able to survive even after severing half of her neck, and she even solidified her foundation and made great progress in her cultivation.

Using it solely to acquire spiritual energy is a huge waste.

In comparison, using deduction to upgrade avatars and advance at least four talents at once is the most cost-effective approach.

After all, it only takes about 10,000 to 20,000 points of spiritual energy to evolve from a monster to a monster... right?

Pshaw, don't make promises you can't keep!

There are still over 74,000 spiritual essences left. 50,000 will be reserved for life-extending, and the remaining 20,000 will be kept in reserve to decide which talent to upgrade based on the subsequent situation.

To avoid being caught off guard by a strong enemy.

Thinking of this, he suppressed his impulse and began preparing the cooking utensils, waiting for Du Bingyan to return from hunting.

Just then, a deep roar echoed from outside the cave—

"Du Bingyan, you killed my mount for no reason, and you still want to deny it?"

"Xie Bao has told me everything..."

"Today is your death day!"
