After weighing it over for a moment, Wang Wu quickly made his choice.
The path of cowardly survival still came first.
He inscribed the Ice Shield Art onto the Ice Spirit Pill and the Fire Shield Art onto the Fire Spirit Pill. The results were immediate.
His four Dao arts—Ice Shield, Fire Shield, Ice Cone, and Fireball—had all independently risen to level 3. Yet after this inscription, Fire Shield and Ice Shield immediately became 3+1+1=level 5.
Each use consumed 500 points of Ice Spirit Energy and 500 points of Crimson Flame Spirit Energy.
Combined, the Ice-Fire Shield could negate 7,000 points of damage.
With the Ice Fire Talisman added in, it could negate 14,000 points of damage in a single burst.
Of course, that was Wang Wu's own advantage and did not represent the strengths of ordinary Human cultivators.
A level 5 Ice Shield Art, for example, could at most negate 1,500 points of damage if it was not combined with a level 5 Fire Shield Art.
One would need to cultivate Fire Shield Art or Ice Shield Art to around level 10 to achieve the effect of negating 7,000 points of damage.

With that, all his secret arts and demonic arts talents under the innate bloodline system had been fully upgraded. Only his basic attributes could still receive points, but there was little point in doing so.
He had not
