Chapter 18 Sharing a Bed

Chapter 18 Sharing a Bed

The "Frozen Jade Shatter" is a mid-level Profound Stage martial skill that he found in Yao Lao's collection.

It is a long-range group attack martial skill that can emit frigid Qi, with a maximum of nine projectiles.

He had previously used this martial skill to save Little Fairy.

After fusion, Su Yun's mind was filled with insights into the "Frozen Jade Shatter," which were fully absorbed in no time.

Another martial skill was mastered by Su Yun.

With an ample supply of magic cores, Su Yun's rudimentary system once again revealed its potential.

Being able to refine a martial skill to perfection in an extremely short time!

Without spending too much time on the "Frozen Jade Shatter," Su Yun shifted his focus to another martial skill.

The "Flame Shield" is an advanced Profound Stage martial skill that forms an all-encompassing fire attribute Qi protective shield around the body, providing additional defense against fire attribute attacks.

Without hesitation, he fused this martial skill directly. Another fourth-grade magic core disappeared from the system space.

This martial skill had not been cultivated before, and Su Yun carefully selected it, envisioning its significant role in the future...

After absorbing and digesting this martial skill, Su Yun felt a hint of chaos in his mind.

The amount of information from mastering three martial skills in an instant was not small.

Su Yun paused the fusion process. With his current state, digesting a few more martial skills would be easy.

But he still needed time for cultivation.

After two hours of cultivation, Su Yun exhaled deeply, feeling somewhat exhausted.

Getting ready to rest, even a martial artist at the Fighter stage needed sleep.

Just as Su Yun covered himself with the blanket and closed his eyes, his door was knocked on.

"Bang, bang, Brother, are you asleep?"

At this moment, Little Fairy's voice came in, tinged with a hint of crying.

Su Yun got up, opened the door, and saw tears shimmering in Little Fairy's eyes.

"What's wrong, Little Fairy?"

Su Yun asked worriedly.

"Brother... Little Fairy is afraid of the dark. Can Little Fairy sleep with Brother?"

Su Yun couldn't help but smile wryly. It was normal for children to be afraid of the dark. She probably woke up halfway through her sleep and got scared.

"Come up."

Su Yun lifted Little Fairy onto the bed. He didn't care about the difference between men and women; they were still children, and it was too early for those things.

The night passed without incident. Nothing happened.

Su Yun stayed at home for two days without going out.

All this time was spent mastering the newly comprehended martial skills.

Although the system could directly help him master martial skills to perfection, their practical application still depended on experience in battle.

He carefully selected the martial skills he had newly comprehended through the system.

Some were for his own use, while others were prepared for his future alter egos.

His "Frost Cold Art" could utilize the characteristics of two different attributes separately. It would be a waste not to use it to create alter egos.

Today, Su Yun was going to carry out the final fusion according to his plan. He didn't need to use magic cores on martial skills for a short time, as per his plan.

"System, fuse the Ice Spirit Flame Grass with 'Frost Cold Art'."

"Ding, a fusion proposal is detected."

"Ding, it requires the consumption of one fourth-grade magic core. Would you like to fuse?"

"Fuse."

Su Yun grinned. After absorbing the information that surfaced in his mind, he activated the updated "Frost Cold Art" once again.

Extending his hand, a unique Qi floated on his palm, a mixture of red and white. This was the Qi with both fire and ice attributes that Su Yun had been longing for.

Su Yun manipulated the Qi and struck a boulder in front of him with the Eight Extremities Collapse.

The boulder exploded with a loud bang.

"This destructive power!"

Su Yun looked satisfactorily at the martial skill floating in his hand. With the enhancement of such Qi, his destructive power had increased by a level!

Moreover, "Frost Cold Art" hadn't lost its single attributes. Su Yun could still convert his Qi into the previous single attributes.

Su Yun had already figured it out. He would have at least three alter egos in the future!

After calming down his surging emotions, Su Yun changed back to his previous middle-aged man appearance and walked out.

Utan City, Xiao Family, was his target this time.

Whether to contact the Xiao Family or not had been contemplated for a long time.

He came here today, and the final answer naturally didn't need much explanation.

According to his plan, his next stop would be the Tagore Great Desert.

The Green Lotus Core Flame!

The attraction of a different fire to an alchemist was too great.

And it was related to his future achievements!

Although his "Frost Cold Art" could be upgraded to the Heavenly Stage High-grade through the system fusion, his aptitude was a big problem!

Xiao Yan was able to become a Fighting Emperor in the end, with the "Frost Cold Art" playing a crucial role.

Xiao Yan's aptitude was not bad, but in the Gamma Empire, there were many geniuses comparable to him.

But only Xiao Yan reached the level of a Fighting Emperor, thanks to the "Frost Cold Art." It was because of the repeated tempering with different fires, which continuously raised his aptitude and foundation!

Tempering with different fires could improve aptitude. This was a common consensus on the continent.

In his view, every time Xiao Yan absorbed a different fire, the greatest gain was not the increase in strength but the experience of tempering with different fires, continuously improving his aptitude.

With Xiao Yan's original aptitude, becoming a Fighting Master was easy, and it was not impossible for him to become a Fighting Saint with a bit of luck.

But to become a Fighting Sage without giving up the "Frost Cold Art," unless he obtained the Fighting Emperor's bloodline from Xiao Zhan, it was impossible.

In the original work, it was Xiao Yan's repeated tempering with different fires that gave him the potential to become a Fighting Emperor.

A road to the sky was laid out before him, and how could Su Yun give up?

In the continent of martial arts, talent, background, resources, and opportunities determine one's achievements.

His talent was not weak, but it was only on par with Xiao Yan's.

He had no background, no resources, and no opportunities.

To live well in the martial arts continent, it was impossible to go solo. Without a certain force or helpers, when he was surrounded and beaten up, he wouldn't even be able to call for help.

This was why he had taken in Little Fairy before.
