Fusion Cultivation Method

Similar to the Tiger Blade Technique, the Hundred Rend Blade Technique also follows a path of dominance and ferocity.

After his blood and energy recovered, Ling Yun didn't hesitate and focused his mind, clicking on it.

First layer!

Second layer!

Hundred Rend Blade Technique fifth layer!

In less than a minute, he had modified this newly acquired blade technique all the way to the fifth layer!

"Hoo!"

Ling Yun exhaled softly, his expression returning to normal.

With his current physique, even advancing five layers in one go had only consumed a little over half of his bloodline power!

He slowly stood up and casually picked up a long saber gleaming with cold light from a nearby rack.

The moment the saber entered his hand, the essence of the Hundred Rend Blade Technique instinctively appeared in his mind, as if he had practiced it thousands of times.

Yet, before today, he hadn't even heard of this martial art.

His body began to move unconsciously, and for a moment, cold light flashed, the silvery blade light almost enveloping him entirely.

The Hundred Rend Blade Technique emphasizes momentum, thus featuring many chopping and slashing moves, making it quite fierce to practice.

After practicing back and forth a dozen times, Ling Yun executed his final vertical slash, and in an instant, over a dozen phantom blade shadows appeared around him, all slashing down together!

These shadow blades were identical to his own slash in both speed and power.

With a series of loud noises, more than a dozen deep saber marks appeared on the artificial mountain in front of him.

"Crack!"

At the same time, a crisp sound came from the saber itself, and it then shattered into more than a dozen pieces on the spot, honorably retired.

However, Ling Yun ignored this, stroked his chin, and fell into thought.

The move where the saber split just now was similar to the explosive power of the Tiger Blade Technique, and it was a special skill of the Hundred Rend Blade Technique – Hundred Rend.

According to the founder of this technique, the so-called Hundred Rend was to split out a hundred blade lights with just one strike.

Yet, even with Ling Yun practicing this martial art to its peak fifth layer, he could only manage to produce a dozen or so blade lights.

He figured the guy who created the technique back then was just exaggerating its effects.

What was also strange was that although he had also modified the Hundred Rend Blade Technique to the fifth layer this time, it hadn't manifested any special abilities like Tiger's Might.

The same applied to the Vajra Body and Phantom Step; aside from their inherent bonuses, no special abilities had appeared.

Ling Yun couldn't quite figure this out and could only attribute the reason to the different attributes of the techniques.

Shaking his head, Ling Yun didn't dwell on it further.

The reason he wanted to practice the Hundred Rend Blade Technique this time was to test an idea he had.

That is, to merge these two different blade techniques into one!

After all, all the martial arts he had practiced so far could only be modified to the fifth layer.

While their power was not bad at the moment, as his strength grew, if he could only stay at this level, it would be quite insufficient.

As for the reason he couldn't modify them further, Ling Yun speculated it was because these martial arts were too low-level; they were all just low-tier martial arts.

He had received a prompt about this from the system the first time it appeared.

Therefore, since there were low-tier martial arts, there naturally would be mid-tier and even high-tier martial arts.

However, among all the martial arts and techniques he could access at the moment, there were no so-called mid-tier martial arts.

Since he couldn't find any, he had to find a way himself.

And the way Ling Yun thought of was simple 1+1=2.

To fuse two low-tier martial arts and create a brand new mid-tier martial art.

Of course, the process might not be that simple, as creating a technique wasn't as easy as just talking about it.

But even if he failed, he wouldn't lose anything.

Moreover, without being immodest, even if the founders of these two martial arts were still alive, they probably wouldn't understand them as thoroughly as he did now.

No sooner had he thought of it than he acted. Ling Yun slowly closed his eyes and began to deduce in his mind.

Soon, countless pieces of information from the two blade techniques appeared in his mind, eventually manifesting as a black tiger on the left and a white lion on the right!

The tiger and the lion roared at each other in his mind, completely at odds, like fire and water.

However, Ling Yun remained unfazed. He took a deep breath and used his will to forcefully bring the two closer.

As the lion and tiger drew nearer, just as they were about to touch, Ling Yun's expression suddenly changed.

"Not good!"

The white lion broke free from his mental control, let out a roar, lowered its head, and lunged at the black tiger. The black tiger naturally didn't back down, raising its massive paw and swatting down fiercely.

He didn't have time to stop him.

"Ding!"

The moment the two collided, a piercing sound of metal striking metal rang out!

Ling Yun felt a surge in his mind, and blood gushed from his mouth and nose. His aura became weak, clearly indicating he had suffered a serious injury!

However, in the next moment, the Bloodline Power hidden within his body surged and rolled, and his weakened aura instantly returned to its peak.

Ling Yun slowly opened his eyes, a look of helplessness on his face. This step was much more difficult than he had imagined.

The lion and tiger in his mind were, of course, not real. They were manifestations of his blade intent.

From the current perspective, although the artistic conception of these two was similar, their essence was completely different. Forcing them to fuse would naturally result in a backlash.

"Should I just give up?"

A thought of giving up flashed through Ling Yun's mind, but he immediately cast it aside.

"I refuse to believe I can't handle you two little things today!" Ling Yun hardened his resolve, closed his eyes again, and entered the spiritual world in his mind.

As the figures of the lion and tiger reappeared, Ling Yun did not hesitate. He immediately began the fusion.

"Ding!"

Unsurprisingly, the two erupted into fierce conflict once more.

"Keep going!" Ling Yun remained unmoved, enduring the throbbing pain in his mind as he continued his deduction.

"Ding!"

"Again!"

"Ding!"

"Again!"

Ling Yun was covered in blood, his aura fluctuating between low and high. This was thanks to him being a Fusion Realm martial artist with abundant Bloodline Power.

Otherwise, messing around like this would likely have killed him before the technique could even fuse.

After an unknown amount of time, when Ling Yun tried to fuse the black tiger and the white lion again, a different change finally occurred.

The black tiger and white lion roared in unison, then transformed into two balls of light that merged together. Countless blade technique moves appeared one after another, practicing and fusing with each other, taking the essence and discarding the dross.

When the light dissipated, all that remained in his mind was a long saber with black and white intertwined.

The figures of the black tiger and white lion flashed across the blade.

"It's done!"

Ling Yun's eyes snapped open, and a palpable blade aura appeared in their depths.

At the same time, his status panel began to change.

As the two blade techniques gradually faded, a brand-new technique appeared.
