Chapter 93: Fusion Rate
Chapter 93: Fusion Rate (Please Vote for Monthly Tickets)
“Xiao Tao and A Miao are here!”
Fang Huiyi greeted them as she walked out of the kitchen.
“Auntie, let me help!”
Jiang Miaoyin immediately stepped into the kitchen to assist.
“No need. You’re guests—I can manage alone,” Fang Huiyi insisted.
But she couldn’t dissuade Jiang Miaoyin, so the two prepared dinner together.
“Brother Qi, your place feels so cozy!”
Jiang Tao plopped himself on the sofa without hesitation and grabbed a clean apple to eat.
“Did your relatives come looking for you?” Lin Qi suddenly asked.
Jiang Tao scoffed. “Relatives? They’re practically strangers now. We haven’t spoken in years.”
“When my parents died, they didn’t even flinch. They were terrified I’d ask for help.”
“Now that I’ve made something of myself, they’re crawling back. It’s disgusting.”
Lin Qi nodded in understanding, his expression sympathetic. His family had never faced such complications.
…
6:00 PM
After dinner, Lin Qi, Jiang Tao, and Jiang Miaoyin hailed a private car to the Crimson Vault Martial Arts Pavilion.
“It’s only the first day of the Lunar New Year, and we’re already heading back to train. I guess we’re the only ones crazy enough,” Jiang Tao muttered.
“Brother, we can’t slack off during break,” Jiang Miaoyin replied.
“I’ve fallen too far behind—I need to catch up.”
Lin Qi glanced at Jiang Miaoyin. Compared to months ago, she’d grown from 1.5 meters to 1.65 meters, her body brimming with Vital Energy. She’d likely reach 1.7 meters eventually. Her frame radiated vitality—her eyes bright, her posture full of youthful vigor.
“A Miao’s innate talent isn’t any worse than mine. She’s already ranked in the top hundred students. With enough resources before senior year, she’ll definitely break into the Top Ten,” Jiang Tao boasted proudly.
“Of course!” Jiang Miaoyin grinned, tossing her head playfully.
Lin Qi smiled at the siblings’ banter.
Soon, the trio arrived at the Crimson Vault Martial Arts Pavilion.
Since it was the first day of the Lunar New Year, most staff had taken leave, leaving the facility quiet and vast. The three separated, and Lin Qi entered his Martial Arts Training Hall.
“Welcome back, Master!”
“Happy New Year!”
The hall’s lights brightened as Xiaochan’s projection materialized—a petite figure in a red qipao with a playful bun hairstyle.
“Happy New Year, Xiaochan!”
“This is your red envelope—though I doubt you need it!”
Lin Qi placed a red envelope on the table, its cover reading To Xiaochan.
“Thank you, Master!” Xiaochan beamed.
Nodding in satisfaction, Lin Qi changed into his martial arts uniform, downed a Stamina Elixir, and applied Crimson Blood Healing Balm across his body.
He turned to the template hovering before him.
[Fusion Rate: 9.9%]
After a day’s rest, his cultivation couldn’t stop. With the Fusion Rate at 9.9%, he felt tonight would be the breakthrough.
He glanced at the cabinet—Energy Brew, Compressed Rations, and cold Nutritional Meals were already prepared.
Everything was ready.
He exhaled sharply, starting his Stance Training. His body warmed rapidly, heat intensifying until he felt like burning embers. Regulating his breath, he mentally reviewed the Harmony Stance’s techniques.
This Pillar Stance had been refined to perfection—each motion precise, like a textbook example. Even its creator might not match his precision.
Vital Energy surged, channeling through his bloodstream into every limb and muscle, slowly tempering even his smallest muscle groups.
Lin Qi could clearly sense he’d nearly reached the Second Realm—Body Tempering.
After an hour, he ended the stance training. After a brief rest, he began practicing the Five Elements Boxing.
Pound! Pound! Pound!
Starting with Tiger Form, then Crane, Snake, Dragon, and Ape Forms—his fists exploded with force, muscles contracting violently. The air vibrated, whipping up gusts as he moved.
Energy flowed, every muscle engaged, hammering his body in the searing heat.
Two hours passed.
[Through relentless training, you’ve gained new insight into Five Elements Boxing. Fist Techniques +3%]
[Fist Techniques: Second Stage 28% → 31%]
[You’ve completed effective training. Template Fusion Rate +0.1%]
[Template: Erlang Shen Yang Jian]
[Fusion Rate: 9.9% → 10%]
Lin Qi halted his strikes, sweat cascading from his chest onto the floor, pooling beneath him.
Seeing the Fusion Rate reach 10%, his expression remained calm. He grabbed an Energy Brew and drank deeply before biting down on a rolled-up towel.
“Xiaochan, don’t move no matter what happens.”
“Understood, Master!”
Lin Qi inhaled deeply, waiting silently.
Boom!
Suddenly, his consciousness plunged into a void-like space.
The golden tattered banner quivered silently, unleashing an invisible, mysterious force.
A chill surged into Lin Qi’s body from an unknown space.
It spread through every corner of his form.
Crack!
Hngh!
Lin Qi grunted, a bone in his body snapping.
Like a signal, a cascade of fractures erupted across his skeleton.
Ah!
Excruciating pain exploded through his nerves. His bloodshot eyes widened as countless bones shattered simultaneously.
The agony surpassed even his previous fusion at 5%.
He collapsed onto the mat, biting the towel, gripping a sphere as his body convulsed violently.
Every inch of his physique felt crushed by invisible hammers, rebuilding itself repeatedly.
Tendons in his hands, feet, and body were sliced like with knives—then regenerated, sliced again, and rebuilt. His entire musculature strengthened, becoming resilient.
Bones followed suit—shattered, reformed, denser and stronger.
Other tissues underwent subtle mutations, but the focus remained on Jin Gu (muscles and bones).
Boom!
Crack!
Huff!
The dual torment made Lin Qi wish for death. His body convulsed, drenched in sweat.
In the silent training hall, only his beast-like howls echoed.
Xiaochan’s projection watched silently, obeying Lin Qi’s command. She did nothing—only witnessing the transformation.
In unbearable pain, Lin Qi’s consciousness blurred. A single thought anchored him: Keep going!
Keep going until it’s done!
His mind fogged over, and he slipped into unconsciousness.
Two hours later.
The quiet training hall stirred as Lin Qi slowly opened his eyes, staring at the bright ceiling light. He exhaled sharply, his expression dazed.
“It’s finally over.”
His gaze shot to the status panel in his vision.
He needed to know what new innate talent awaited at 10% fusion.
