Life Blue Silver, Fusing Traits Once More

The leaves were much thicker than before, their edges still densely packed with a row of tiny, fine serrations, marked by faint silver patterns.

They shimmered with a cold, silvery-white light under the illumination, a lingering trace of the Sharpness trait.

Wang Xian leaned in to look closer and discovered a layer of lustrous film on the surface of the leaves. They were not as fragile as ordinary plants; instead, they exuded a certain sense of Toughness.

Those silver patterns were not merely decorative; he could feel a faint pulse of life energy circulating within them.

He cautiously touched the edge of a leaf with his fingertip.

Before he could even apply pressure, a sharp sting pierced his skin, and his finger was cut.

Wang Xian picked up his Blue Silver Grass and gave it a hard tug. The Blue Silver Grass pulled taut instantly, but it did not snap as it had before.

His Soul Power surged within him, and his strength increased significantly.

He pulled again with force, drawing the blade of grass straight.

The Blue Silver Grass still did not break; instead, it emitted a faint "creaking" sound, as if something inside was holding on for dear life.

Wang Xian could feel the resistance against his hand. The blade of grass was stretched to the brink of snapping, fiber by fiber, refusing to give way completely.

One second, two seconds, three seconds...

The Blue Silver Grass finally reached its limit and began to break.

But it didn't snap all at once with a "pop"; rather, it broke like a lotus root with its fibers still connected, snapping one by one in succession.

As each fiber broke, the remaining ones pulled even tighter, refusing to let go.

It took a full five seconds of pulling before the Blue Silver Grass finally severed into two pieces.

Before Wang Xian could even feel surprised, a rich aura of life suddenly surged from the broken end of the blade.

The severed piece of grass withered visibly to the naked eye.

Meanwhile, the piece remaining in his palm began to squirm at the break, with new green shoots emerging from the severed point.

The blade of grass regrew at an astonishing speed, and within a few breaths, it had returned to its original length.

It was almost indistinguishable from the Blue Silver Grass he had held just moments ago.

At the same time, Wang Xian felt his Soul Power draining away, though the speed was not fast.

This indicated that the process of the Blue Silver Grass recovering did not rely entirely on the Soul Power within his own body.

Is this... the power of the Life Blue Silver Grass itself?

He had previously guessed that after choosing the life path in the Martial Soul Cultivation Chamber, the growth and recovery speed of his Blue Silver Grass would be significantly enhanced.

It seemed his guess was correct.

And the effect was even better than he had imagined.

Wang Xian couldn't help but grin. He retracted the Blue Silver Grass into his body and released it again, repeating the test several times.

Each time, the Blue Silver Grass appeared steadily in his palm, its leaves plump and its ink-green luster smooth, the film on its surface even thicker than before.

"Good, this is great."

Afterward, he looked at the brand-new panel. Following the martial soul cultivation, the Blue Silver Grass had become Life Blue Silver Grass, and its quality had risen to E-rank.

Even his Soul Power Level had increased by two levels.

"My cultivation talent should have improved as well, but I don't have a meditation technique, otherwise I could try to cultivate."

Wang Xian's gaze shifted again, finally settling on the form cultivation. Now that his martial soul quality had reached E-rank, this function was finally unlocked.

"Weapon Form, what does this mean?"

The system was cultivating his martial soul—could it actually turn his Blue Silver Grass martial soul into a weapon?

Could it be something similar to the Blue Silver Overlord Spear of Tang San? Wang Xian wondered.

"One hundred Cultivation Points isn't too much. In any case, it won't be easy to gather a thousand points for the next cultivation in the short term."

Having made up his mind, Wang Xian whispered in his heart: "Consume one hundred Cultivation Points, cultivate Weapon Form."

"Weapon Form (cultivating), progress: 1%. Estimated time to completion: thirty days."

"Thirty days? It takes that long? Is this form inherently difficult to cultivate, or is it because of the change in martial soul quality?"

Wang Xian guessed it was the latter; after all, cultivating the Weapon Form only required one hundred Cultivation Points.

"Next is fusing the traits."

After experiencing the strength, recovery, and growth speed of the Life Blue Silver Grass, he was even more determined in his previous plan.

He would fuse the Deep Tilling and Toughness traits to further enhance the durability and lethality of the Life Blue Silver Grass.

"System, fuse the traits Deep Tilling and Toughness," Wang Xian commanded.

"Confirming, do you wish to fuse the traits Deep Tilling and Toughness?"

"Note: An E-rank martial soul can fuse a maximum of three traits."

"Yes." Wang Xian confirmed once more.

As soon as he spoke, a warm sensation surged from his palm once again.

This time, the sensation was even more distinct than when he had fused with Sharpness previously; it felt as if two warm currents were being injected into his martial soul simultaneously, flowing slowly through his body.

Wang Xian took a deep breath. The Life Blue Silver Grass already present on his right hand had grown slightly thicker, its ink-blue leaves appearing more substantial, and the film of light on their surface had become even more pronounced.

Touching it gave a slightly abrasive sensation, as if he were stroking a piece of polished stone.

Beyond the row of tiny serrations along the edges of the leaves from before.

A layer of even finer, denser barbs had appeared at the base of the serrations, arranged in a tight, crowded formation like miniature hooks.

The silver veins on the surface of the leaves were denser than before, crisscrossing and spreading across the entire leaf like blood vessels.

And where those veins intersected, one could faintly see wisps of dark golden luster flowing, appearing and disappearing intermittently.

The two traits, Deep Tilling and Toughness, had finished fusing.

Wang Xian pinched a leaf between his fingers and rubbed it hard.

The leaf didn't budge, not even leaving a mark.

"Good heavens." Wang Xian's eyes lit up.

Afterward, he looked around the room, wanting to find something to test it on.

However, the Blue Silver Grass had changed so much that he was afraid of causing too much damage.

"Forget it, I'd better go into the village to find something to test it on."

Wang Xian couldn't wait to run out of the room, arriving behind the house where there was an uncultivated patch of woods.

He found a thick, sturdy tree that would require five people to wrap their arms around, channeled his soul power, and the Life Blue Silver Grass rapidly spread and grew, binding itself around the tree trunk.

He didn't rush to tighten it; instead, he first let the grass leaves wrap loosely around it twice before slowly channeling his soul power.

The Blue Silver Grass began to tighten slowly, those tiny barbs hooking into the surface of the trunk as if biting into it, pulling tighter and tighter, sinking deeper and deeper.

Wang Xian could feel that the longer the Blue Silver Grass remained wrapped, the stronger that tightening force became.

The power slowly accumulated within the grass leaves, stacking bit by bit, becoming heavier and more intense.

The trunk emitted a series of "creaking" sounds, as if it were being squeezed from all directions simultaneously.

He stared at the trunk and discovered that fine cracks were beginning to appear on the surface where the Blue Silver Grass was wrapped.

The cracks spread outward from the edges of the grass leaves, becoming more numerous and denser.

After a few more breaths, those cracks merged into one, and wood shavings began to fall.
