"The trait's level dropped?"
Hong Ming stared at the trait for a long while, his expression gradually changing.
He clearly remembered that before consolidation, the fist technique expert trait had been level 2, gold. After consolidation, it had turned white.

Hong Ming did not deny that stacking them this way had been something of a gamble. He had hoped to raise his palm technique talent to the same level in the process.
From the looks of things, the panel had not given him that opportunity.
If the difference in levels between traits was too great, it would lower the level of the resulting trait.
Once he worked this out, Hong Ming could not help feeling disappointed.
This unexpected change had undoubtedly disrupted his plans for further consolidation.

"So, by that
