Lin Ye swiftly dealt with the three pursuers, standing next to their lifeless bodies, still feeling a lingering unease. The system’s prompt soon sounded: “Killed three late-stage Body Refining Realm martial artists, gained 300 evolution points.” Although the points weren’t much, for Lin Ye, who had just fought for his life, this reward felt incredibly valuable.
He lowered his head and began to scavenge the remains of the three. Pills, silver, and a few seemingly ordinary martial technique manuals appeared in his hands. While these items didn’t compare to the Supreme Bone Fragment he had obtained earlier, they still held considerable value, especially the martial technique manuals, which seemed to offer him new cultivation methods.
[Skill Fusion]
Lin Ye picked up a slightly worn martial technique manual and flipped it open, discovering that the contents were not too complicated. The manual described a technique called “Swift Gale Steps,” which focused on increasing speed. Although it was a lower-level skill, it could offer unexpected agility in battle.
He quickly compared “Swift Gale Steps” with the “Wild Body Refining Method” he had learned before. The system’s voice sounded again: “Detected low-level martial skill ‘Swift Gale Steps.’ Consuming 50 evolution points can initiate a basic fusion, enhancing the speed of ‘প্রাথমিক ত্বরণ (Primary Acceleration).” Lin Ye didn’t hesitate and chose “Yes.” Instantly, a warm flow of energy surged into his body. He felt an unparalleled flexibility, as if every movement could seamlessly merge with the wind, and his speed improved drastically.
[World Rules]
Through this battle and the subsequent loot, Lin Ye gained a deeper understanding of the cultivation system in this world. Martial artists didn’t rely solely on their bloodlines or spiritual energy. Instead, they absorbed the world’s spiritual essence, refined their bodies, and strengthened their power to break through different realms. Every martial artist chose a different cultivation path, which largely determined their abilities and status.
The rules of the world gradually took shape in Lin Ye’s mind. Resources, spiritual energy, pills, and martial techniques—all of these revolved around cultivation. Lin Ye realized that to survive in this world, he needed not only immense power but also a strategic position in the competition for resources.
With the fusion of “Swift Gale Steps” and “প্রাথমিক ত্বরণ (Primary Acceleration),” Lin Ye’s speed underwent a qualitative leap. His body became more agile, as swift as a leopard. At the same time, the rules of the world became increasingly clear to him. He began to realize that his goals were not just about revenge; perhaps he also needed to seek higher levels of growth and exploration.
