Do you want to fuse?
Ye Tian dared not to fuse at this moment. He doesn't know what would happen if he fused right now. It's better to fuse when there's nobody around. The academy is lax in its administration. They don't care about the students' whereabouts. Even if you don't come, nothing will happen.
After practicing the Body Forging Techniques, the students usually cultivate alone themselves. After all, the teachers from the academy don't have a lot of time to teach the students.
These are the circumstances at the Fifth Academy. If it's at the First Academy, then it's different. Strictly speaking, only the First Academy is an actual academy. The other academies are just slightly bigger sized dojos.
Returning to his home, Ye Tian finds that his little sister is studying martial Dao knowledge. Those books are left behind by their parents. Whenever she's free, she would read these books as preparation for practicing martial arts in the future.
Ye Tian entered his room alone and locked the door.
"Fuse!"
!!!!
A mysterious power surged his entire body.
Pain!
Endless pain numbs his mind as if his entire body is going to explode.
"Holy shit, I never thought that fusing with the replicated talent can be this painful!"
Ye Tian silently cursed.
Even if he knew that fusing would be this painful, he would still not hesitate to do so. Since it is something that will change his fate, the same as being reborn. So what if it's painful?
"Brother, is something wrong?"
Ye Yu seemed to have heard some noise and was currently standing outside the door asking.
"Nothing!"
Ye Tian gritted his teeth and replied. He didn't dare let even a single painful scream out. Otherwise, he can't explain it to his little sister.
Fortunately, the pain came and went fast. About 10 minutes later, the pain on Ye Tian's body subsided. Replacing it was a feeling of bliss, as if he had sex just now.
Of course, Ye Tian didn't forget what's important. He quickly checked his talent status.
Human: Ye Tian
Cultivating Talent: Medium
Looking at the information on the virtual interface, Ye Tian couldn't hold back his emotions. Finally, it's no longer a [Weak] cultivating talent. This meant that his cultivating talent had changed. This also meant that he now had unlimited potential.
Martial artist, [Elite] martial artist, [Great] martial artist won't be his limit. As long as he kept on fusing with newer talents, he'll surely rise above [Great] martial artists.
"One month. I need another month to be able to replicate another talent again!"
This is the information he got from the [Replication] talent. This meant that only after a month will he be able to replicate another talent.
"Let's test my cultivating speed from this [Medium] cultivating talent!"
Ye Tian can't stop himself from trying out his new talent. In fact, when he mastered the 18 movements yesterday, he tried to cultivate. However, the effects were feeble, he only felt some tingling sensation across the entire body. If his soul wasn't any stronger, he wouldn't have felt the effects.
Because of the weak effects, he decided to go to the academy and listen to the lecture, to find out whether he had cultivated the wrong way.
To his disappointment, the way he cultívated wasn't wrong. His cultivating speed is slowed to a certain extent. Without a long period of cultivation, the effects wouldn't show. If it wasn't for his [Replication] talent, with his original talent, he wouldn't be able to reach martial disciple within a year.
"First movement!"
"Second movement!"
....
Ye Tian was practicing every movement in his room. These movements might look weird at first glance, but it's the best Body Forging Technique that humanity had tested.
It takes about half an hour to execute all 18 movements. The Body Forging Techniques won't have any effect unless you complete all 18 movements.. After half an hour, Ye Tian had perfectly executed all 18 movements.
After executing the 18th movement, Ye Tian felt some heat transmitted across his body. This heat flowed towards all parts of his body, forging his body. The heat flow belongs to the human body's potential. Body Forging Technique can efficiently develop a human body's potential.
"As expected from a [Medium] cultivating talent, the effects are a 100 times better than yesterday's [Weak] cultivating talent. No wonder Chen Dong took only half a month to become a martial disciple and another month to have 100kg of strength!"
Ye Tian is satisfied with his [Medium] cultivating talent. However, he knows that there are talents better than [Medium] cultivating talent. He couldn't even imagine the cultivating speed of those geniuses. Therefore, he had to be diligent.
After the heat flow from the first round of Body Forging Technique had almost subsided, Ye Tian started the second round. After numerous rounds of the Body Forging Technique, Ye Tian's body is filled with sweat and a faint black tinge of impurities.
Ye Tian took a bath and then ate 10 buns. Cultivating using the Body Forging Technique consumed a lot of energy, therefore he needed to eat a lot to replenish the lost energy.
One month later.
In the Fifth Academy's small forest. It's almost evening and there's nobody around. Ye Tian was currently cultivating here. This was also the place where he usually cutivates.
"Huff, today's 10 rounds of Body Forging Technique are finally done!"
Ye Tian retracted his movements and walked towards the 3rd Training Ground. At the training ground, he sees multiple rocks. These rocks weighed around 50kg. Some are 100kg and even 150kg.
If you can raise a rock of 50kg above your head for 3 seconds, you are considered to have 50kg of strength. If you raised a rock of 100kg, it meant that you have 100kg of strength. Simple as that.
On the 8th day of cultivating the Body Forging Technique, Ye Tian already had a strength of 50kg and reached the stage of martial disciple.
"Today, I should be able to lift a rock weighing 100kg. Chen Dong has the teachings of the principal, so his cultivating speed is fast. But I'm no slouch either. My cultivating talent is a combination of a [Medium] and a [Weak], which resulted in a [Medium] cultivating talent. In theory, it should be slightly better than Chen Dong's. On top of that, I had been cultivating non-stop for a month. Every day I cultivated 10 rounds of Body Forging Technique. The more you cultivate using the Body Forging Technique, the more painful it will be. It might even be impossible for an average person to do 10 rounds of it every day. With Chen Dong's personality, at most he would do 7 to 8 rounds a day. Therefore, my progress can't be slower than his."
Ye Tian pondered.
After resting to recover his stamina for a while, he walked towards a 100kg rock.
"Up!"
Hugging the rock next to his feet tightly, Ye Tian lifted the rock. After the 100 kg rock was above his head, he maintained it for 3 seconds, Ye Tian tossed the rock away and dropped to the ground due to exhaustion.
He knew that he had a strength of 100kg.
"This is a good start. With my [Medium] cultivating talent, I might be able to become a martial artist within a year!"
Ye Tian hardened his fist with high expectations. After resting for 10 more minutes, the sky will soon darken. Ye Tian left the academy and walked towards his home. On the streets, there are a lot of shops that are still operating. The Lin Hai base is filled with bright lights.
In this current era, there wasn't any electricity. The rumors said that some large survival base can convert Vigor into electricity, innovate a lot of mysterious infrastructure and recreate the brilliance of the era before the doomsday.
However, that's only for large survival bases. Small survival bases such as Lin Hai base do not have such a capability. Every shop used either oil lamps or candles. Standing in the middle of the streets, Ye Tian felt that he returned back to the ancient days of China.
Suddenly.
"Aaaah! There's a vicious beast!!"
"Run! A vicious beast is here!"
Fear and panic filled the entire street.
