Fusion of Cultivation Methods 2

Time flew by, and in the blink of an eye, several days had passed.

Four days later.

On the eve of the fourth [Ignite Comprehension].

Zhang Family study.

After adjusting his condition and making all the necessary preparations, Zhang Ming quickly drank a dose of Mighty Bull Great Medicine.

He silently recited in his heart.

"[Ignite Comprehension], activate."

Buzz—

In an instant, heaven and earth changed even more violently than before.

The details of the world and the workings of its laws were displayed before Zhang Ming's eyes with unprecedented clarity.

As he sensed the changes in the world, his mind's thinking speed increased a hundredfold.

Zhang Ming was overjoyed.

"Hahaha, as expected! The great medicine is truly nourishing—the effects of [Ignite Comprehension] have grown stronger!"

"Previously, when ordinary food was used as 'fuel,' [Ignite Comprehension] gave roughly a hundredfold comprehension boost for around ten minutes."

"But now, using Bull Secret Medicine, it actually reaches two hundredfold for around ten minutes."

"A full doubling of the effect. Good, good, good!"

Zhang Ming laughed heartily, seeming to have found a better way to use the Golden Finger, [Ignite Comprehension].

"From now on, whenever I use [Ignite Comprehension], I must prepare great medicine beforehand to fill my body!"

After a brief lapse in focus, Zhang Ming picked up the two cultivation methods on his desk.

One was [Mighty Bull Fist], and the other was [Mighty Bull Body].

One was an offensive Martial Skill, while the other was a defensive Martial Skill.

One enhanced a Warrior's attacking methods with fists and feet, while the other raised a Warrior's defensive power.

The two complemented each other, and together with [Mighty Bull Strength], they generated and evolved Vital Energy.

The three formed a complete cycle, a perfect circle.

"Good. Let me see just how powerful [Ignite Comprehension] becomes after taking great medicine."

In an instant, he poured his mind into them, his thoughts racing at high speed.

[You attempt to comprehend: Mighty Bull Fist]

[Comprehension successful. You have gained Martial Dao experience in Mighty Bull Fist at the Grand Completion level.]

[You attempt to comprehend: Mighty Bull Body]

[Comprehension successful. You have gained Martial Dao experience in Mighty Bull Body at the Grand Completion level.]

It was not over. Zhang Ming attempted to comprehend all three cultivation methods at once.

[You attempt to comprehend simultaneously: the three cultivation methods Mighty Bull Strength, Mighty Bull Fist, and Mighty Bull Body.]

[To your surprise, you discover that the three cultivation methods share the same origin, possess similar attributes, and involve complementary acupoints. You suspect that the three cultivation methods were originally one cultivation method.]

[You attempt to fuse the three cultivation methods...]

[You attempt to fuse the three cultivation methods...]

[You attempt to fuse the three cultivation methods...]

"Ah!"

[Ignite Comprehension] ended, and intense pain followed.

Fortunately, this was not Zhang Ming's first time experiencing it.

He had long anticipated the onset of the pain. After struggling against it for a short while, he slowly returned to normal.

A moment later.

As he sensed the information from the final prompt of this [Ignite Comprehension], Zhang Ming frowned.

"It actually failed. Was I forcing it too much?"

"Even with the Mighty Bull Great Medicine's support, even though this [Ignite Comprehension] was more than twice as effective as using ordinary food, was it still wishful thinking to fuse all three cultivation methods in one go?"

He took a deep breath and suppressed the displeasure brought by the failure.

"Huff... Failure is failure."

"No matter what, I still have Grand Completion Martial Dao experience for [Mighty Bull Fist] and [Mighty Bull Body]."

"Cultivation methods like [Mighty Bull Fist] and [Mighty Bull Body], which lean toward Martial Skills, are different from [Mighty Bull Strength]."

"As long as I have Martial Dao experience for the former, I can adapt quickly and truly reach the perfected state."

Even with Martial Dao experience at the Grand Completion level for [Mighty Bull Strength]—

He still needed to strengthen and evolve his Vital Energy step by step, tempering his sinews, bones, flesh, and blood.

Experience would only accelerate the process. It could not skip the process of Vital Energy growing from little to much, from thin and weak to powerful.

But Martial Skill-type cultivation methods such as [Mighty Bull Fist] and [Mighty Bull Body] were different.

Having Martial Dao experience was like taking an open-book exam.

As long as his body was not so weak that he could not even hold a pen, give him a little time to "copy," and getting full marks would not be a problem.

"Huff. Time to train properly."

"I'll first become proficient in [Mighty Bull Fist] and [Mighty Bull Body]."

"Right, shouldn't I make an Attribute Panel for myself? It would make checking my progress easier."

At the thought, Zhang Ming found some paper and a brush.

A self-made Attribute Panel immediately appeared.

Name: Zhang Ming

Realm: Warrior 8%

Cultivation Methods:

Mighty Bull Strength Version 0.33 (Grand Completion Experience)

Mighty Bull Fist: Beginner (Grand Completion Experience)

Mighty Bull Body: Beginner (Grand Completion Experience)

"Warrior 8%. I still need 92% more Vital Energy to reach completion. In theory, that will take around 250 days—over eight months."

"The proficiency realms are Beginner, Proficient, Mastery, Great Accomplishment, and Grand Completion."

He nodded and looked once more at the "Attribute Panel."

"A few days will be enough for me to adapt to my body and absorb the insights and experience. [Mighty Bull Fist] and [Mighty Bull Body] should successfully enter the Mastery level."

"Great Accomplishment in ten days, Grand Completion in twenty!"

"In just twenty days, I'll bring cultivation methods that ordinary Warriors might need decades to reach Grand Completion in up to Grand Completion. Tsk, tsk."

After sighing in admiration for a few moments, Zhang Ming gathered his thoughts, steadied his mind, and slowly entered a cultivation state.

Time passed.

In the blink of an eye, twenty peaceful days went by.

During these twenty days, Zhang Ming cultivated [Mighty Bull Cultivation Method Version 0.33] in the mornings, evolving and strengthening the Vital Energy within his body, tempering his sinews and bones, and improving his physical constitution.

In the afternoons, he cultivated the two methods, [Mighty Bull Fist] and [Mighty Bull Body].

Twenty days passed.

Thanks to the effects of [Ignite Comprehension].

Zhang Ming successfully cultivated [Mighty Bull Fist] and [Mighty Bull Body] to the Grand Completion state.

He had reached the level of the cultivation methods' original creators. His fist techniques could add several thousand pounds of force, his kicking and punching skills were exceptional, and when he circulated his cultivation method, he possessed terrifying defensive power that ordinary blades and swords could not pierce.

Adding the Vital Energy generated and strengthened by [Mighty Bull Strength Version 0.33] over those twenty days, as well as the tempering of his body by that Vital Energy—

Along with the Grand Completion of [Mighty Bull Fist] and [Mighty Bull Body], even if he faced a peak expert whose Vital Energy had reached Grand Completion, it was not certain that he would lack the power to fight.

This was the confidence that two Grand Completion cultivation methods gave Zhang Ming.

Likewise.

Over these twenty days, aside from Zhang Ming's steadily advancing cultivation and strength—

He had not missed a single [Ignite Comprehension] that came every five days.

It was only that Zhang Ming had underestimated the difficulty of fusing [Mighty Bull Strength], [Mighty Bull Fist], and [Mighty Bull Body].

He had thought that he could fuse the three cultivation methods in one or two attempts.

Yet he had not expected that after twenty days, all three fusion attempts had still failed.

But failure was the mother of success.

Although the three [Ignite Comprehension] attempts had failed, the experience accumulated from them did not disappear.

Instead, it was stored in Zhang Ming's mind.

Thus, even though the three cultivation methods had yet to be successfully fused—

The experiences from the three failed [Ignite Comprehension] attempts had raised Zhang Ming's understanding of the three cultivation methods to a new level.

If cultivation realm and physical constitution were limited to the same level, and Zhang Ming fought a Warrior who had likewise cultivated [Mighty Bull Fist] and [Mighty Bull Body] to Grand Completion—

Zhang Ming was absolutely confident that he could win.

This was the effect brought about by three failed [Ignite Comprehension] attempts.

And after three failures, this was now the fourth attempt.

Zhang Ming had a premonition that this time, he would definitely succeed!

With these thoughts in mind, Zhang Ming looked at the Mighty Bull Great Medicine on the table.

Gritting his teeth, he quickly lifted the porcelain bowl and drank it in large gulps.

At the same time.

"[Ignite Comprehension], activate!"

"Let me see what kind of powerful cultivation method will be born from fusing [Mighty Bull Strength], [Mighty Bull Fist], and [Mighty Bull Body]!"

Buzz—

Heaven and earth changed, and the mysteries of the world surfaced clearly in his mind.

All his past experiences and memories of his life flashed before him.

From the taste of milk candy when he was five years old in his previous life, to the helplessness of having no hope in the Martial Dao before turning eighteen in this life.

Every kind of experience surfaced.

At the very end.

No.

It was only the next instant that his memories locked onto the three cultivation methods: [Mighty Bull Strength], [Mighty Bull Fist], and [Mighty Bull Body].

All memories related to the three cultivation methods—the text and image descriptions, firsthand insights, and more.

Vast streams of data surged wildly like tidal waves.

After the surging came the fusion of memories, like rivers flowing together.

Discarding the dross and preserving the essence, casting off the old and bringing forth the new, eliminating the inferior and retaining the superior.

It felt as though an eternity had passed, yet it also seemed to be only the next moment.

The fusion succeeded.

And then...
