Inside the room, Lin Ce pondered the uses of the "fusion skill points".
His first considerations were "Da Shen Gong" and "Qing Yan Gong".
These two martial arts are internal energy cultivation techniques that Lin Ce has already mastered, and they have a significant impact on his martial arts foundation.
However, both martial arts techniques only reached the acquired level, which was insufficient for him now that he had entered the innate realm.
If he continues to practice these two internal martial arts techniques, it will be difficult for him to gain any further benefits.
The so-called "fusion skill points" should be able to combine two acquired martial arts techniques.
The fusion of the ninth level (perfect) "Great Ginseng Skill" and the ninth level (perfect) "Azure Rock Skill" would likely become a martial art at the innate level.
However, that approach still doesn't seem perfect.
Lin Ce then thought of another reward he had just received.
Special skill points.
If both martial arts are pushed to their limits and reach the tenth level before being fused, it would obviously be a better choice.
The problem is that he currently only has one special skill point, making it impossible for him to break through two martial arts at the same time.
Shaking his head, Lin Ce decided to put the idea aside for the time being.
He quickly made a decision: he transferred the special skill points that could break through the limitations of martial arts to another martial art.
Special skill points were consumed all at once.
In return, he received the "Azure Rock Robe" at the tenth level (perfect).
Clearly, prioritizing defense is his current primary thought.
In an instant, Lin Ce felt a tingling sensation on his skin, which was rapidly becoming thicker and tougher.
He could feel that at this moment, the defense of his skin membrane had increased by at least 50% compared to before.
This is just a leap from the ninth to the tenth floor, yet it has brought about such a welcome change.
"The tenth level is clearly still acquired rather than innate martial arts, but it's as if it has entered another realm. Its power is even greater than that of ordinary innate martial arts."
Lin Ce pondered this in secret, comparing it with other martial arts, and came to this conclusion.
At this point, you can use the "fusion skill point".
At this moment, he possessed two martial arts techniques at the tenth level.
Breaking Mountain Fist, Green Rock Robe.
These two martial arts have been with him since very early on, and they hold extraordinary significance for him.
"Then let's begin the fusion."
In an instant, the last remaining "fusion skill point" vanished without a trace.
On his martial arts panel, the two martial arts skills, "Mountain Breaking Fist" and "Azure Rock Robe", have also disappeared.
Instead, a completely new martial art was introduced.
Green Rock Mountain-Breaking Fist.
"Hmm, this name is a simple and straightforward fusion, it feels even more unpretentious than the original."
Lin Ce muttered to himself.
However, the name is not important.
Importantly, the level of this martial art has indeed been improved.
【Qingyan Breaking Mountain Fist (Innate): First Level】
Lin Ce could clearly sense that, although both were at the innate level, the "Azure Cliff Mountain-Breaking Fist," which was formed by fusing two tenth-level martial arts, was far superior to the innate martial art "Crimson Dragon Spear Technique."
At that very moment, a thunderous roar resounded within his body, and the foundation of his flawless physique began to grow rapidly.
"Buzz~"
Although he still couldn't release it externally, the true energy within his body underwent a transformation at this moment, turning from true energy into protective energy.
At this very moment, Lin Ce achieved the breakthrough of the fifth-grade Qi Refining Realm.
Compared to true qi, qi is more substantial and resilient, with a significant increase in both attack and defense capabilities.
Naturally, his physical strength also increased dramatically, far surpassing what it used to be.
Although he hadn't tried practicing it yet, Lin Ce secretly pondered and compared it in his mind, and vaguely felt that if he encountered that huge sea beast again, he wouldn't need to use all his strength. He could just use a light punch to deal with it.
The Biyue Peak Si Mingxia who had previously put him under considerable pressure now seemed not so powerful anymore, and he felt he could treat her with a calm mind.
He was confident that, as a fifth-grade Qi cultivator, he could easily protect himself against a fourth-grade Qi cultivator like Si Mingxia.
While martial arts intent is a powerful thing, the flawless body is perfectly immune to its influence.
Of course, when it comes to a real fight, only the battle itself will tell who will emerge victorious.
Lin Ce was very satisfied with this improvement.
There are 50 ordinary skill points left, so of course we should make use of them now.
All the martial arts he has mastered have reached their limits. Adding points to them is temporarily useless until he breaks through those limits.
It can only be added to innate martial arts.
The newly created "Qingyan Breaking Mountain Fist" is clearly the one that deserves this treatment the most.
Compared to acquired martial arts, innate martial arts require ten times more skill points.
Levels one through four each require ten skill points to upgrade, while levels four through five require twenty skill points.
50 skill points are just enough to upgrade "Qingyan Breaking Mountain Fist" to the fifth level.
Lin Ce felt as if a huge wave was surging within his body, and his power was about to overflow.
The fusion of these martial arts techniques will enhance his strength in every aspect.
Whether it's strength, agility, or defense, they have all made rapid progress.
Aside from not yet having grasped the "martial arts essence," his combat strength at this moment is probably no less than that of any fourth-rank martial artist.
There's no need to be too wary of martial artists below the Grandmaster level.
"Phew, it's good to improve my strength, but I can't be too reckless. The world is a deep place, and it would be troublesome if I capsized."
Lin Ce secretly became alert.
His sudden surge in strength subtly affected his mindset.
For a moment, he almost couldn't resist rushing out the door to find a formidable opponent and prove himself.
After finally suppressing this impulse, he gained a clearer understanding of his own strength.
The next morning, Lin Ce wanted to say goodbye to his employer, Su Caiying, and leave Biyue Peak.
The ascension of the new peak master of Biyue Peak naturally brought with it a flurry of activity, but this activity had nothing to do with him.
However, before he could even go to find Su Caiying, she came to him first.
Seeing the other person's expression, Lin Ce had a vague sense of foreboding.
I have a feeling that something bad is going to happen.
And that is indeed the case.
Su Caiying's first words were:
"Fifth Brother has been kidnapped."
A face immediately appeared in Lin Ce's mind.
It was Su Qianzhong.
So, after they parted ways at sea, that guy was eventually kidnapped?
Lin Ce glanced at Su Caiying in front of him and couldn't help but feel a little guilty.
However, he quickly came to his senses.
He was just the chief镖头 (bodyguard) of a镖局 (escort agency). What did it matter to him whether Su Qianzhong was kidnapped or not?
"Who kidnapped them?"
To avoid appearing overly indifferent, Lin Ce had no choice but to continue asking.
Su Caiying responded quickly.
"News has come from over there; it's the four most notorious gangsters."
