Integration White Ape

A moment later, Lin Sheng smiled as he left the stall, a sealed clay pot in his hand.

The tall, thin stall owner also waved goodbye with a smile.

"Little brother, come again next time. If you want more White Ape blood, I'll save it for you."

He was in great spirits, having seemingly discovered another way to make a fortune.

As he spoke, his gaze fell upon the White Ape in the cage, which was now noticeably weaker, a naked greed flashing in his eyes.

Meanwhile, Lin Sheng, having successfully obtained the White Ape's blood, didn't linger in the small market street and headed straight back to his residence.

Entering his room and closing the door, Lin Sheng immediately opened the clay pot. A rich, bloody aroma assailed his nostrils.

Without any sign of disgust, he reached into the pot.

The moment the sticky blood submerged his palm, a string of information appeared in his mind.

[Beast Name: White Ape (Common Grade)]

[Mountain wild ape, with white fur, long arms, short legs, swift movement, extremely agile... can be classified as Middle Common Grade.]

[Integration Requirement: None]

[Integration Effect: Agility Boost 2]

"Just a Middle Common Grade wild beast!"

Lin Sheng felt a slight disappointment upon seeing the Mountain Sea Scroll's description of the White Ape.

After all, White Apes weren't common, and they seemed more valuable than Iron Yaks. He had initially thought it would be a High Common Grade exotic beast, but it turned out to still be in the Middle Common Grade category.

However, the integration effect of the White Ape seemed quite extreme. It lacked the Stamina Boost of the Rock Sheep and Iron Yak, but instead offered an Agility Boost of 2.

"Integrate."

He thought the word, but his actions didn't stop. With a single thought, he chose to integrate.

Soon, a pulling sensation came from his palm, and the blood in the clay pot rapidly flowed into Lin Sheng's skin.

But unlike the nearly five jin of blood it took to integrate the Iron Yak, the White Ape blood in this pot was fully integrated before even half of it was used.

The White Ape's physique couldn't compare to the Iron Yak's. He had repeatedly asked the stall owner, who only managed to extract a little over two jin of blood before refusing to continue.

He had been a bit worried that around two jin of White Ape blood wouldn't be enough, but it seemed he had overthought it.

Thinking about it, it made sense. Besides massive beasts like the Iron Yak, many wild beasts were not large. Take domestic cats or some birds, for instance. Their entire weight might only be a few jin, so how much blood could possibly be extracted?

This suggested that the Mountain Sea Scroll's blood requirements for integration might be balanced according to the beast's size.

Lin Sheng thought this and secretly vowed to test this thoroughly later to determine how the Mountain Sea Scroll divided integration blood quantities.

Suppressing his thoughts, Lin Sheng walked out of the room and into the courtyard.

The next moment, his body moved like an ape's, darting and weaving around the yard. His speed wasn't particularly fast, but he was quite agile and nimble.

Even when he stopped, a fly buzzed past his face, only to be flicked away by a finger.

"Is this the effect of Agility Boost 2? It's definitely a significant improvement compared to before."

Lin Sheng murmured to himself as he watched the fly he had just pulverized.

To him, the fly seemed to be moving in slow motion, easily hit by his finger. Everything around him even felt slightly slowed down.

He understood this was the illusory effect of his suddenly surging reflexes.

Agility Boost 2, compared to Agility Boost 1, provided about a thirty percent increase in speed, as well as reaction time and flexibility.

While this numerical increase might not seem large, the actual change felt significant, especially when going all out.

The only drawback was the lack of Stamina Boost, leaving him with less endurance.

"But that's not a major issue, as I can switch integrated exotic beasts to compensate."

After numerous trials, he had a basic understanding of the rules for switching integrated exotic beasts in the Mountain Sea Scroll.

After switching integrated exotic beasts in the void space, it would take about an hour before another switch could be made. However, the first switch was not subject to this limitation.

He could integrate the Iron Yak for general use and then switch to the White Ape when he needed to travel, run, or chase. This combination was currently his optimal solution.

Of course, more than the integration effects, Lin Sheng valued the boost to his cultivation talent.

While the integration effects were wondrous and mysterious, the actual improvement in his realm was tangible and fundamental.

Immediately, he changed his posture, bending his knees slightly and swinging his arms, starting to move slowly. His initial movements were quite sluggish and even a bit awkward.

However, within moments, his movements became fluid, and his speed increased.

White Ape Leg Technique. He had reviewed this leg technique many times before and even attempted to practice it. Although it was a third-rate martial art like the Raging Bull Fist, its difficulty seemed slightly higher than the latter.

After several practice sessions, his progress was not significant.

Furthermore, the content of the manual was incomplete, and unlike when he practiced the Raging Bull Fist with Tian Hu personally demonstrating and teaching, it was normal for his cultivation speed to be slow.

In reality, his progress in this leg technique wasn't slow at all; it was even considered above average.

Although his talent and comprehension were only average, he had experience cultivating the Raging Bull Fist and had already reached the Body Tempering realm. Returning to practice the White Ape Leg Technique, even though one was a fist technique and the other a leg technique, there were still commonalities that aided his initiation.

However, he had become accustomed to the speed of cultivation after integration, so he naturally felt that practicing the White Ape Leg Technique step-by-step with his comprehension and talent was too slow.

Now that he had integrated the White Ape, Lin Sheng felt as if he was in his element practicing the White Ape Leg Technique. It was incredibly easy and agile, as if the martial art had been tailor-made for him.

Lin Sheng didn't stop until noon.

He exhaled heavily, a smile appearing on his face.

"I've gotten the hang of the White Ape Leg Technique."

Actually, after integrating the White Ape, it had only taken him a little over an hour to successfully get the hang of this leg technique. This speed was truly unbelievable.

Grumble...

His stomach rumbled, and a wave of hunger washed over him.

Clearly, his rapid progress in cultivation had also consumed a lot of energy. Fortunately, Lin Sheng was prepared. He returned to his room, took out some dried meat, and began to chew on it heartily.

It wasn't until he had eaten three pounds of dried meat that his hunger subsided.

Afterward, it was time for a new round of cultivation. Having gotten the hang of it, the next step was to bring this leg technique to minor success.
