Chapter 1069: Fusion 1

The wind blew passed them lightly. Carthage and Alice could vaguely feel the cyclone flowing between them. It was an obscure Qi’s Dynamic battle.
“If there is nothing, I would like to leave now.” Carthage smiled flatly.
“As a former Senior Brother of Rainy, could it be that her death has not affected you at all?” Alice’s voice got colder.
“With the mistakes she made, Rainy herself was a sinner. Her death was for the best.” Carthage replied calmly. He ignored Alice, turned around and walked away.
Garen followed behind him. He stopped for a short while and glanced at Alice, not saying anything. Then, he continued to follow Carthage.
There was a growing sense of urgency in his heart. Garen knew without a doubt that Carthage killed Rainy, but he was not sure if Carthage knew that it was him who released Rainy. If Carthage guessed that he was the one who intercepted him that night, it would be troublesome…
Garen gripped the handle of his sword tightly. He did not know what his chances of winning Carthage were. On the surface, this guy looked like he was only at Inherited Level, but his actual combat strength was at Non-Falling Level, and he might have more hidden secrets!
But one thing for sure was that he absolutely dare not make a move here!
Garen made up his mind and walked faster to keep up with him.
They passed by a vast, plain grassland and entered a dense, pine forest with some scattered snow foam.
The lush green pine forest was quiet. From time to time, some winter squirrels could be seen crouching around and the both of their movements scared the squirrels to scurry around.
Suddenly Carthage stood still in an open space, his back facing Garen.
“Do you know why I came suddenly to see you?” His voice was as flat as usual, as though he was just talking about something as simple as the weather today.
“Why?” Garen stood still and asked in a low voice.
Carthage turned around.
“I can give you a shot, but only once.”
He knew it!
Garen was shocked, even after Aloran had sent Rainy to somewhere as far as the Four-Star Alliance, he was still able to get her.
No! He might just be testing! If he really knew it, he would not say it out loud, he would have just made a move straight!
Garen immediately came back to his senses. Was he trying to cheat him?
“I don’t understand what you are talking about?” He said, frowning with a dubious look on his face.
Carthage did not say a word, only staring at Garen quietly.
Garen looked at him in the eyes without fear. Many people often have the illusion that a person’s eyes will never lie. Carthage also had such a deluded logic, so when he saw Garen’s clear and dubious eyes, it made him question his speculations.
“You should know how to handle stuff by yourself, as there are many things and situations.”
“What are you talking about? I do not understand?” Garen’s brows frowned deeper.
Carthage also started frowning slightly, but he quickly relaxed. A black-red bead appeared in his hands. With a light flick, the beads suddenly shot outwards and accurately floated in the air right in front of Garen.
“This is for you, eat it. This thing played a big role in you being able to break through into Inherited Level.”
This again?
Garen knew that there was something wrong with this bead. Although he did not know what trick was hidden in it, he was confident that his Hellfrost Peacock will be able to handle any tricks. All he needed to do was swallow it directly.
He quickly grabbed the bead and gulped it.
Boom!!
The energy of this bead was much stronger than the previous one!
Garen felt as though he had swallowed a piece of searing iron and it was burning his stomach. A piercing discomfort suddenly erupted from his stomach.
Ugh…
He did not try to hold the pain and grasped his abdomen.
Seeing Garen’s reaction, the doubts in Carthage’s eyes vanished.
“This is a blood bead essence, which can stimulate your body’s maximum potential and is able to increase your overall strength without harm. One of it is equivalent to a year’s worth of hard work.” He paused. “As long as your performance satisfies me, I will consider increasing the supply of the blood bead essence for you.”
Garen felt that the bead once again tried to pollute his body with that strange blood-color, but was being devoured spontaneously by the peacock technique, and in just a short while, it had completely gobbled up the red color.
The discomfort in his stomach disappeared, but Garen continued to act as if he was still in pain.
“When you’re stronger, go and put an end to all your previous grudges,” Carthage concluded, turned around and left.
With his eyes closed, Garen was still holding onto his abdomen as he inhaled deeply. He only straightened himself a few minutes after Carthage left.
“Non-Falling Level… he’s really powerful…”
He recalled the time when Senior Sister Rainy mentioned the Mirror of True Techniques Realm.
Oneness, Water Mirror, Silver Mirror, and lastly the Perpetual Motioner Level board realm. He was now at the Water Mirror Level, but he was sure that Carthage was definitely at a Water Mirror Level, or even a Silver Mirror Level.
Among the Scarlet Snow Sect, there were only a few people who were aware of the Mirror of True Techniques, which was Alice, Rainy, Carthage, and himself. But of course, this was on the disciple level, he did not know if the elders knew about it or not. However, it was unlikely that they do not know about. After all, they have lived for so many years, and regardless of how they trained, they should be able to reach that level by now.
Other than that, he did not have to worry about the rest of them, including Eva.
“That said, however, the Ancient Endor Demon Lord does not have any partition for realms. They were using a pure strength route. Maybe I can try to follow this path?” He recalled some basic knowledge that Black Seth had mentioned, and it was true that the Ancient Endor did not discover this area of knowledge. They focused their energy more on souls. As for their bodies, it was just a vessel to them.
Condense their soul seed to form a true soul! This was the path of the Ancient Endor.
The more souls, the stronger one will be, and the closer they were to immortality. The stronger their talent abilities were, the greater their strength. By using souls to activate life force, one can make changes to all things and even rules. This was how they evolved.
He was feeling the continuous, astonishing surge of energy seeping out of the blood bead into his body. This energy was being consumed insanely and converted into the purest cold energy to be supplied to the Scarlet Snow Technique.
Chi…
The blood bead dissolved completely and disappeared.
According to Carthage’s estimate, it will take a full six months to fully absorb the blood bead, but in just a few minutes, it was being absorbed by Garen in a full energy efficient way. Moreover, as compared to the others, who can only utilize half of its energy, Garen was able to utilize twice the high amount of energy!
He even completely devoured the manipulative blood-color tricks and transformed it into energy supplies for the Scarlet Snow Technique.
Poof!
A rage of cold air diffused out of Garen’s body uncontrollably and instantly froze all the pine trees around him into icicles. The white cold air spread rapidly, but it seemed to have begun to shrink.
It was changing constantly by expanding outwards and contracting inwards as if two forces antagonizing each other.
After a long time, Garen finally opened his eyes slowly. He instantly withdrew all the cold air around him and kept it back into his body.
The origin crystal of the Scarlet Snow Technique in his body became reddish once again.
“I’ve reached the thirteenth grade… that was fast!”
He himself felt that it was unbelievable. According to records, after reaching Inherited Level with Scarlet Snow Technique, it will take graded years to advance onwards from the twelfth grade, and that was using a super quick genius as a benchmark.
And now, how long have Garen reached the Inherited Level? And he actually improved and reached the thirteenth grade.
However, after he sensed his the interior of his body, the blood bead that he swallowed just now was completely gone, and there was only a little residue left of the devoured energy. The sudden breakthrough used up most of his reserved energy.
“No wonder that it takes such a long time to break through a grade, the amount of energy needed is humongous…”
He glanced at his newly changed attribute pane. With the improvement of the Scarlet Snow Technique, his computing power was starting to not be able to keep up, and the energy machinery imprint continuously transmitted a swelling sensation. It was as though something might erupt and explode inside him.
He knew that it was a sign that he was losing control when his computing power could no longer keep up with his power.
At this point, changes were made to the attribute pane once again.
‘Nonosiva Lin – Strength 39.1, Agility 27.2, Vitality 40, Intelligence 16.2, Potential 49983%. Soul limit 40.’
His strength increased by five points, agility increased by five points, his vitality was maxed out, and his intelligence had the least increase, with only a 0.3 points increase.
“According to the normal logic, I should look for foreign objects to be fused together and then absorb it into my body, to improve my vitality, but such a path…” Galleon exhaled slightly.
Finally, he took a look at his soul limit. He will need to implement the condensation of a new soul seed as soon as possible.
He left the pine forest and soon returned to his Black Wolf Lair. He released the Winter Night Wolves to patrol the territory, as he himself sat in the central office and began to pick out new secret techniques he had previously acquired from the Blue Frost sect.
Among all the secret techniques that he got, only two of them might be able to condense into a soul seed. However, it was not a matter of ranking. The peak realm requires a special kind of acknowledgment and realm that was different from that of the previous soul seeds, which was the most critical part.
Garen’s current intelligence had reached 16 points. Due to the rules of this world, it did not derive the Doublecast technique of the Totem World, but the amazing computing power alone was already very strong.
Nine Layers Body Shattering Technique, and Destructive Impact Fist.
Both of them were chosen because it perfectly fit Garen’s current fighting style. The Body Shattering Technique was used for quenching the body and the surrounding force field. After mastering it successfully, it can activate up to nine layers of terrifying powerful defense, and no matter how one’s opponent was to strike, they will not be able to break through it.
The Destructive Impact Fist seemed to be the perfected evolutionary version of the Multiple Speed Fix that Garen once comprehended. It was twice to eighty-eight times of the horrifying fist pressure, and no one had ever trained this type of fist techniques to its highest level, because its practice requires extreme physical support. This was not the fake physique made by fusion of an energy machinist and other stuff, but a true and completely strong physique that belonged to one, which can be perfectly controlled.
The Nine Layers Body Shattering Technique had nine levels, and the Destructive Impact Fist had a total of eight levels. Both of which were secret techniques that were sufficient to be used to create a new sect.
But of course, this type of Secret Technique was the same level as the Scarlet Snow Technique, but because of all kinds of stringent requirements for its practice, many of the Inherited Level energy machinists were destroyed, and in the end, the secret techniques fell into his hands.
But even so, there was no one in the Blue Frost Sect who practiced both of these unpopular secret techniques, because both of its requirements were too high.
Whereas the reason why Garen picked both of them was that they suited him.
