Law Fusion, Ticket to Godhood (Seeking Follows)

"Linley, I'm heading off now."

At the classroom entrance, Delia said goodbye to Linley, with Dixie right by her side.

"Linley, I will surpass you."

Dixie spoke with a cold face, then immediately pulled Delia away.

Delia could only turn back reluctantly, waving goodbye to Linley.

"Linley!" Doehring appeared from the Coiling Dragon Ring. "I feel like this Delia is much better than that Alice!"

Linley looked at Doehring with a blank expression. "Grandpa Doehring, what are you talking about?"

Linley's reaction left Doehring feeling somewhat helpless.

He had just remembered that Linley was only nine years old—still just a little kid.

Although his strength was formidable, the matters of romance were an entirely foreign territory to him.

All the way back to the dormitory, Linley couldn't get Doehring to explain what the difference was between Alice and Delia.

George was an Earth Element mage, with classes from eight to ten in the morning.

Reynolds was a Fire Element mage, with classes from ten-thirty to twelve-thirty.

Therefore, both George and Reynolds were in the dormitory.

But Yale was a Lightning Element mage, with classes from seven to nine in the evening.

Before Linley could even enter the dormitory courtyard, Yale hurried past him toward the classroom.

Linley pushed the door open and entered, and Beibei crawled out from his robes, turning into a blur of motion.

During class, Linley had kept Beibei hidden in his robes the whole time, and the little guy was about to burst from being cooped up.

"Third brother, let's go get dinner after Boss Yale finishes his class." Reynolds held a glass of fruit juice and spoke to Linley. "If you're hungry, I have some dried meat here."

"No thanks." Linley shook his head. "I'm going to go cultivate for a while. Call me when Boss Yale gets back."

With that, Linley went straight back to his room.

"Third brother is so diligent!" Reynolds couldn't help but rub his chin. "He has talent and he works hard; Third brother is really making it impossible for us to keep up!"

"Do you think everyone is like you?" George smiled at Reynolds. "Boss Yale won't be out of class for another two hours, let's go back to our rooms to meditate too!"

Saying this, George also stood up and walked toward his room. Reynolds let out a mournful cry, but he entered his own room as well.

On the other side, after returning to his room, Linley sat cross-legged on the bed and took out two pills.

The pills were the size of dragon eyes and were snow-white all over.

These were the Law Fusion Pills he had received as a reward earlier.

Looking at the two pills in his hand, Linley communicated with Lin Ke in the System Space. "Brother Lin Ke, is this Law Fusion Pill for random fusion?"

"Of course not." Lin Ke's voice echoed in Linley's mind. "After you take the Law Fusion Pill, start recalling the Laws and Profound Mysteries you have comprehended. The Law Fusion Pill will help you find the commonalities between two Profound Mysteries to help you get started quickly. However, this is limited to the same element; unless you have a soul mutation, you cannot fuse heterogeneous Laws."

Lin Ke hadn't actually told him everything.

The system was capable of manufacturing Heterogeneous Law Fusion Pills.

Even for someone without a soul mutation, as long as they took a Heterogeneous Law Pill, they could fuse heterogeneous Laws.

It was just that the cost was far too high.

At the very least, the energy points Linley currently possessed weren't even enough for the fraction of the cost required to manufacture one.

Having received Lin Ke's explanation, Linley turned his gaze back to the two pills in his hand.

"Let's start with the Wind Element Laws." Linley popped one pill into his mouth. "The first things I comprehended were the Mysteries of Fast and Slow, so I'll start with those two."

Linley tilted his head back, swallowed the pill, and closed his eyes to begin his comprehension.

Fast to the extreme, it looks as if it's standing still—does that count as another form of slow? Fast and slow are not opposites; they are one and the same. This is speed...

In Linley's mind, the points of stagnation regarding the Mysteries of Fast and Slow instantly became clear.

The two Profound Mysteries, which had previously been separate, now had their commonalities revealed to Linley.

The Mysteries of Fast and the Mysteries of Slow began to fuse for the first time.

"Profound Mystery of Speed!"

After a long while, Linley opened his eyes, and his figure instantly appeared at the door.

But if anyone were watching from the side at that moment, they would find that everything Linley did seemed to be in slow motion.

He was clearly moving at the extreme of speed, yet he was also moving at the extreme of slowness.

Everything appeared exceptionally contradictory.

"This is the Profound Mystery of Speed. It's just a pity that my current comprehension is still too shallow; there is still a long way to go before a complete fusion."

A smile hung on Linley's face. Having successfully fused two Wind Element Profound Mysteries, he could clearly feel his strength increasing.

"Has it already been over an hour?"

Linley glanced at the clock in the room; it was already eight-twenty.

Yet in Linley's perception, only a few minutes had passed.

This was primarily due to the effects of the Law Fusion Pill.

Otherwise, under normal circumstances, the fusion of Laws and Profound Mysteries would take at least several months.

However, aside from the initial commonalities and the final complete fusion, the fusion of Laws and Profound Mysteries has no bottlenecks in the middle stages. Linley only needed to comprehend and fuse them step by step.

In other words, Linley had already secured his ticket to becoming a Low-God.

After all, fusing two Profound Mysteries to ten percent is enough to achieve the status of a Low-God.

Even if Linley received no further help from Lin Ke, becoming a god within twenty or thirty years was a certainty.

"Yale still has nearly an hour left before his class ends." Linley turned his gaze toward the remaining Law Fusion Pill. "In that case, I might as well fuse the Profound Mystery of Earth Pulse with the Profound Mystery of Earth Element."

Thinking of this, Linley swallowed it directly.

The Profound Mystery of Earth Pulse was the mystery Linley had comprehended most deeply among his Earth and Wind elements.

But this time, fusing it with the Profound Mystery of Earth Element proved to be somewhat time-consuming.

Time reached nine-ten, and Yale had already finished his class and returned to the dormitory.

However, when Yale, George, and Reynolds waited in the courtyard, Linley still had not appeared.

Reynolds looked toward Linley's room with some concern. "Could something have happened to Third Brother? Should we just knock on the door?"

"Better not." George quickly stepped in to stop him. "If Third Brother is at a critical moment in his cultivation, knocking on the door might be fine, but if we cause Third Brother to get injured, that would be troublesome."

"Second Brother is right." Yale nodded slightly. "Let's wait another half hour. If Third Brother still doesn't come out, we'll go eat first and just bring some back for him."

Since Yale said so, George and Reynolds naturally had no objections.

The half hour passed in the blink of an eye.

Just as Yale was about to speak, Linley's room began to tremble violently.

The three of them looked toward Linley's room with expressions of horror, ready to rush in and save him at the slightest sign of trouble.

Fortunately, the shaking stopped in just an instant, and Linley pushed the door open and walked out.

"Sorry, I lost track of time while cultivating." Linley had a smile on his face and seemed to be in a very good mood. "Dinner is on me tonight; you can eat whatever you want."

"Squeak, squeak~"

"Boss, you finally came out. I'm starving to death."

Beibei turned into a blur and appeared on Linley's shoulder.

"Alright, alright, I'll let you eat your fill tonight." Linley smiled and rubbed Beibei's head. "Order whatever you want, don't hold back."

"Squeak, squeak~"

"That's what you said, Boss! I want honey-glazed steak, and the steak has to be from a Bloodthirsty Iron Bull, plus fruit juice, and..."

The four of them headed toward the Huali Hotel inside the Ernst Institute, with Beibei incessantly listing dishes from Linley's shoulder.

Linley looked at the System Panel before him, a smile curling at the corners of his mouth.
