**Chapter 622: Integrating a New Skill Nucleus**

The territory of the [Giant Leaf Mother Tree] was completely annihilated. As Lin Moyu had expected, his experience increased by around 12%.

For others, gaining 12% experience might require constantly grinding dungeons and killing monsters for two or three months. 

But for him, it only took less than half an hour.

The giant leaf dwarf trees were cleared out, leaving behind scattered branches and leaves all over the ground.

They will rot and be swallowed by the ancient land, leaving it barren.

But it won't take long for new giant leaf dwarf trees to appear.

For countless years, the Ancient Battlefield has already divided the territories. Even if there are no giant leaf dwarf trees here, nearby monsters like poisonous snakes won't come to occupy it.

After a few more months, this place will be covered with giant leaf dwarf trees again, and the [Giant Leaf Mother Tree] world BOSS will be reborn.

It's not just the Ancient Battlefield; many places in the world operate like this, following the rules day after day.

After passing through the territory of the [Giant Leaf Mother Tree], Lin Moyu had almost crossed the entire Wild Continent, reaching the edge and facing the Meteorite Continent across the sea.

The Wild Continent is vast and expansive.

It has a roughly circular shape, and Lin Moyu took nearly two days to cross it horizontally, encountering several battles along the way.

Apart from the [Giant Leaf Mother Tree], Lin Moyu also slew several other world BOSSes, including clearing out their territories.

Twice, he saw dense monster groups suitable for gaining experience and took the opportunity.

Twice, the world BOSSes provoked Lin Moyu first and ended up being killed.

Upon reaching the edge of the continent, he could see the sea.

The sea was filled with countless bright spots, like stars reflecting on the surface, making the sea appear bright. This sea is also called the Starlight Sea.

The closer to the Meteorite Continent, the denser the bright spots became.

The starlight from the sea was reflected into the sky and then back down, creating a dazzling and beautiful sight.

It harmonized perfectly with the white light emanating from Lin Moyu's body.

Lin Moyu chose a flat area, facing the Starlight Sea, and sat down slowly. A group of skeletons appeared around him, forming a protective net. The waves crashed against the cliffs, making a loud noise.

Lin Moyu's mind had already completely immersed into his soul.

When he reached level 74, his soul trembled.

Lin Moyu felt it in his heart, knowing that his soul had become complete and could now accommodate another skill nucleus.

The effect of integrating a skill nucleus into his soul was extremely powerful, and Lin Moyu had already tasted its sweetness.

Even with a low fusion degree, it could still cause qualitative changes to the skill.

Lin Moyu didn't hesitate and immediately began the process of "moving bricks."

His soul power surged, finding the skill space with ease and seeing the shining skill nuclei.

The skill nuclei were like stars, some large and some small, some bright and some dim.

Each skill nucleus represented a skill, and before officially moving them, even Lin Moyu didn't know which nucleus represented which skill.

Only after his soul power had completely enveloped and permeated the nucleus would he know what skill he had chosen.

By then, it would be too late to change, so it felt like a gamble.

But for Lin Moyu, it didn't matter.

His goal was to integrate all the skill nuclei, not leaving a single one behind.

His path was different from others, extremely difficult.

But once he had walked through it, he would become equally powerful.

Lin Moyu selected the brightest-looking skill nucleus, and his soul power enveloped it like a giant hand.

After two previous experiences, Lin Moyu had become quite proficient at this.

His soul power completely wrapped around the skill nucleus, then began to permeate it.

His soul power was like fine needles, penetrating every nook and cranny, fully entering the skill nucleus, and then beginning the long journey of "moving bricks."

A piece of information entered his mind, and Lin Moyu knew which skill he had chosen.

[Summon Skeleton King]

"It turns out to be this skill."

After mastering the ability to summon the Skeleton King, Lin Moyu had made it his main skill.

It seemed as if the existence of the skeletons in the undead army was solely to summon the Skeleton King.

Even the previous undead army was no longer suitable.

The main reason was that the Skeleton King was too powerful and useful.

This time, he happened to choose this skill, and Lin Moyu was full of anticipation, wondering what changes the skill would undergo.

His soul, like a giant hand, had firmly grasped the skill nucleus and began to pull it out of the skill space, moving it into his soul world.

At the same time, his soul power was constantly fusing with the skill nucleus.

Lin Moyu felt that the "moving" seemed a bit more difficult than before, as the skill space's binding force on the skill nucleus was stronger than the previous two times.

After thinking for a moment, he understood.

If the skill space's total binding force remained constant, and he possessed 10 skill nuclei, each skill nucleus would be affected by 10% of the skill space's binding force.

But when two skill nuclei were taken away by him, the binding force was still 10, but there were only 8 skill nuclei left.

So the remaining 8 skill nuclei would each be affected by 12.5% of the skill space's binding force on average.

By the time the last skill nucleus remained, it would be affected by 100% of the binding force.

The binding force needed to be countered by soul power, making it increasingly difficult towards the end.

Lin Moyu finally understood why most divine-level experts had only moved two or three skill nuclei.

It really became more and more difficult as it went on.

Fortunately, his soul power was strong enough, having reached the divine level, and with the help of the Nine-Color Dragon Soul Crystal and the Blue Flame, it was constantly being enhanced.

Otherwise, Lin Moyu might not have been able to move all the skill nuclei.

Moreover, there were still the three flames in the Talent World that Lin Moyu coveted.

But he could imagine that they would require even higher levels of soul power.

At least for now, Lin Moyu was completely unable to move them, as the gap was too large.

The waves kept crashing, one after another.

It had continued for who knows how many years, never stopping.

From time to time, creatures would leap out of the sea, their bodies also covered in bright spots.

It was unknown whether it was the Starlight Sea that made them appear this way or if it was them that made the Starlight Sea so dazzlingly beautiful.

The Starlight Sea could be said to be the most beautiful place in the lower space, but beneath its beautiful surface lay danger.

Soul power continuously surged out, and although the spatial binding force increased significantly, Lin Moyu's soul power increased even more.

After two full days, the skill nucleus representing [Summon Skeleton King] was finally moved out of the skill space.

Without the binding force's influence, the moving speed suddenly accelerated.

Half a day later, the skill nucleus had finally entered Lin Moyu's soul.

More soul power poured into the skill nucleus, making it shine brightly as the two began to fuse.

Lin Moyu was full of anticipation, wondering what the fusion degree would be.

Naturally, the higher the fusion degree, the better, but it also depended on the nature of the skill nucleus and the strength of his soul, so it was hard to say. Amidst Lin Moyu's anticipation, the [Summon Skeleton King] skill nucleus had finally absorbed enough soul power.

In an extremely brilliant explosion, it regurgitated the soul power, officially taking root in Lin Moyu's soul world.

After being filtered and refined by the skill nucleus, the regurgitated soul power became even purer.

Lin Moyu felt as if the level of his soul had been elevated once more.

The two complemented each other, mutually benefiting one another.

The first thing Lin Moyu checked was the skill nucleus.

Approximately one-third of the nucleus had been dyed golden.

Lin Moyu was slightly pleased, as it had exceeded his expectations.

He had expected a 20% fusion degree, but now it had surpassed that.

He immediately checked the changes to the skill.

[Summon Skeleton King (Fusion Degree 30%): Fuse the power of skeletons to summon the Skeleton King, requiring a minimum of 10,000 skeletons and a maximum of 100,000 skeletons. Summoning the Skeleton King will not cause the skeletons to disappear or weaken their power.]

After reading the skill's description, Lin Moyu trembled with excitement once more.

He muttered, "No wonder, no wonder it's like this."

During the skill demonstration, he had seen the Skeleton King and the skeletons coexisting.

Thousands upon thousands of Skeleton Kings, along with countless skeletons, fighting together.

But when he mastered the skill, he needed to fuse the skeletons together to summon the Skeleton King.

The two could not coexist.

At that time, he had doubts, but he thought it was because his level was still too low and he couldn't summon enough skeletons.

Now, after seeing this, it turned out to be because the skill nucleus had not entered his soul.

Now that the skill nucleus had entered his soul, he also possessed the same ability.

He could summon the undead army and then summon the Skeleton King on top of that.

The Skeleton King fused the power of the skeletons, yet it did not affect the skeletons themselves.

The Skeleton King and the skeletons could coexist and fight side by side.

His combat power had once again greatly increased.

This way, he didn't need to allocate how many skeletons to summon the Skeleton King and how many to fight.

Now, everything had become simple.

After sitting for three full days, Lin Moyu slowly stood up, a smile of joy on his face, as he crossed the Starlight Sea and flew towards the Meteorite Continent.
