I became a god through frontier slaughter, and I crushed the academy's prodigies!

Shen Tian was stunned.

Before he could react, a new notification line appeared.

Talent fusion is currently available.

Currently available:

[Fusion Formula: Any 3 blue talents + 2000 kill points = 1 purple talent!]

Shen Tian stared at the light blue system notification in front of him, his eyebrows raised high.

It's worth noting that upgrading [Spider Sense] to the purple-quality [Heavenly Heart Connection] required 10,000 kill points.

And now?

You only need three blue talents, plus a 5,000-point processing fee, to get a purple talent.

After this period of killing and plundering, his talent pool is actually a bit bloated.

Some talents are indeed useful in the early stages, but as his strength increases dramatically, especially after the awakening of a numerically powerful talent like [Divine Elephant Power], many flashy functional talents become somewhat useless.

Shen Tian's gaze swept quickly across the panel.

First, the Frost Burial Path.

Although this talent comes with a slowing effect and area damage, the frostbite effect is not enough when facing high-level powerhouses.

Moreover, with the gravity suppression from the heavy sword [Heavenly Sin], the slowing effect is already excessive.

Throw it in.

Secondly, the [Thorn Rock Armor] that I just acquired.

While the Thornmail is good, its appearance is really not flattering.

Once activated, it becomes covered in stone spikes.

Strength is temporary, but handsomeness lasts a lifetime.

Moreover, the physical body, already enhanced by the power of the Divine Elephant, is the strongest armor in itself; adding a rock shell on top of that would be redundant.

Throw it in.

Finally, [Thousand-Thread Puppet].

Although he can control corpses, Shen Tian has always believed in "cutting things off completely" and doesn't have the time to play any corpse-driving games.

In addition, the stringent condition that the corpse must have "recently died" greatly diminishes its practical significance.

Throw it in too.

"Three blue talents, just right."

"System, talent fusion!"

【Ding! 】

[Blue talents detected: Frostbourne Path (Blue), Thorn Rock Armor (Blue), Thousand Threads Golem (Blue)]

[Kill Points Consumed: 2000.]

[Talent Fusion Fusion Reactor activated...]

The previously calm system panel suddenly began to vibrate violently.

Three orbs representing blue talent were sucked into a huge vortex.

At the center of the vortex, light shimmered.

The icy blue chill, the earthy yellow rock textures, and the transparent, silky sheen collided, shattered, and reformed wildly in the vortex.

Shen Tian held his breath and stared intently at the progress bar.

Although the system says that you will definitely synthesize a purple talent, there are different strengths and weaknesses among purple talents.

It's like opening a blind box; even if you know it's definitely a figurine inside, you're still afraid of opening a hidden one... like Ru Hua.

[Ding! Fusion successful!]

[Congratulations, host, on obtaining a brand new purple talent!]

A deep, mysterious purple light exploded before Shen Tian's eyes.

New entries slowly emerged.

[Talent Name: Extreme Cold Bone Armor]

[Rank: Purple]

[Entry Description: You have etched the laws of extreme cold into your very bones, forging the resilience of the earth into armor. You are the walking winter, an untouchable throne of thorns. Whoever touches you will be pierced by the extreme cold; wherever you look, there will be a frozen prison.]

【Effect】

[Absolute Zero Field: Passive Effect. Your body is covered by a layer of invisible frost. Any attack aimed at you will have its kinetic and thermal energy forcibly reduced by 50% upon contact. Furthermore, the attacker will suffer "Deep Freeze Backlash," instantly reducing their movement and attack speed by 40%, which can stack.]

[Icy Bone Thorns: When activated, your bones will proliferate and harden excessively, piercing your skin to form a ferocious yet magnificent set of ice crystal bone armor. The bone armor's defense is increased by 500%! Furthermore, all bone spurs possess a counterattack effect with the "guaranteed hit" characteristic.]

[Winter Funeral: You can detonate all surrounding ice elements. Instantly seal all living beings within a 100-meter radius into an indestructible "Extreme Ice Coffin." Those sealed will have their vital signs forcibly stopped until you release the seal or the ice coffin shatters.]

As Shen Tian looked at this impressive series of data, the smile on his lips gradually turned somewhat perverse.

That's... way too intense!

If the [Power of the Divine Elephant] is the ultimate form of attack...

Then this [Extreme Cold Bone Armor] is the ultimate in defense and control!

The original slowing effect of [Frost Burial] has not only been retained, but has also been transformed into the even more domineering "Deep Cold Backlash".

The counter-damage of [Thorn Rock Armor] has evolved into "Ice Bone Pierce" which has an automatic target acquisition function.

There's also the [Winter Funeral].

This is a divine skill that combines invincibility, control, and survival!

"Two thousand kill points, a huge profit!"

Shen Tian closed the panel with satisfaction.

He raised his hand, a thought flashing through his mind.

ka ka ka-

A faint icing sound came from the air.

A layer of crystal-clear, diamond-like bone armor instantly covered his right arm.

It wasn't a bulky rock, but a work of art full of streamlined beauty.

Each barb gleamed with a chilling light.

With a gentle wave of his hand.

Swish!

The thick concrete wall next to it, like tofu, had a smooth crack cut open by the invisible cold air.

The cut surface was instantly covered with a thick layer of white frost.

"good."

Shen Tian removed the bone armor and clapped his hands.

If I were to encounter that Armored Spinosaurus again, I wouldn't even need to draw my sword. Just standing there with my Thorns active and letting it bite me would probably break its teeth.

"General!"

Just then, Ah Fei's loud and boisterous voice came from afar.

Shen Tian turned around.

Afei came running over excitedly, carrying a backpack, followed by a panting Zhao Gang.

"What's wrong?"

Shen Tian raised an eyebrow.

"They started fighting over the spoils?"

"No way!"

Ah Fei threw his backpack on the ground and unzipped it.

It was filled with colorful crystal cores, as well as some of the most valuable materials from strange beasts.

"These are the spoils from those two big guys."

Ah Fei rubbed his hands together and chuckled.

"Although the brothers love money, they also know the rules. Since you killed the monster, the lion's share is definitely yours."

"We just dismantled everything that could be taken apart. Please take a look."

Shen Tian glanced at it.

Two fourth-order crystal cores, of excellent quality, could fetch at least tens of millions on the black market.

But for Shen Tian now, it no longer holds much appeal.

There are also the venom sacs of the Demon Spider and the reverse scales of the Ironclad Spinosaurus...

These guys are pretty quick and efficient, even more so than professional butchers.

"Alright, put it away."

Shen Tian waved his hand, but did not take the backpack.

"We'll sell them when we get back, and use the money and resources to treat the brothers to a better meal."

"Get some better equipment, stop trying to fight people head-on with a broken shield all the time."

Afei and Zhao Gang were stunned.

That's a huge sum of money!

Are you just going to throw away tens of millions of dollars like that?

"General, this..."

Zhao Gang hesitated for a moment.

"Isn't this against the rules?"

"In my team, I am the rule."
