Chapter 451: Persevering

Liu Yan felt like his entire body was being cut into a thousand pieces. However, his expression did not change. Instead, he was full of determination.

Attribute Fusion was hard to begin with. There was no room for the slightest distraction.

It was especially so since this was the first time Liu Yan attempted Attribute Fusion. He did not dare to let his guard down in the slightest. Instead, he focused on every step of Attribute Fusion.

The people watching from afar could see that the wood attribute energy and metal attribute energy around Liu Yan had almost materialized and were colliding with each other. At the same time, they were rebelling against Liu Yan, and wounds kept appearing on Liu Yan’s body.

Allen Smith, who had always been calm, saw this scene and immediately exclaimed, “This is… Attribute Fusion? Has Liu Yan gone crazy?”

“What is Attribute Fusion?” Murong Xue asked with a blank look on her face.

The rest of the team members also had blank looks on their faces.

Even though they were all experts from their respective continents and were the cream of the crop, they were not familiar with attributes.

Xu Han’s face was filled with disbelief as he explained, “The so-called Attribute Fusion refers to the combination of two types of attribute energy. Each type of attribute energy has its characteristics and temperament. They are two completely different types of attribute energies.”

“It can still be like this? Then what will be the result?” Murong Xue continued to ask.

Xu Han explained with a grave expression, “Ninety-nine percent of people who used Attribute Fusion would suffer a backlash from the two types of attribute energies. At worst, they will be severely injured and disabled. At worst, they will die on the spot and not even have their bones left. Only the remaining one percent of people will succeed. They will need to meet all the requirements and even have a certain amount of luck to succeed. And once the Attribute Fusion is successful, it can also erupt with unimaginable power, directly surpassing the user’s strength by many levels!”

“Is it that difficult? Then can Brother Liu Yan succeed?” Chu Long immediately exclaimed. She looked at Liu Yan in the distance with a worried expression, afraid that Liu Yan would fail.

The other team members were also shocked. They did not expect their captain, Liu Yan, was using Attribute Fusion. It was beyond their understanding.

Xu Han sighed slightly and said, “Attribute Fusion is a heaven-defying method. It is a method that goes against the laws of the elements. Naturally, it is hard to succeed. Only a few top experts on the tenth level of the Tower can succeed, let alone Liu Yan on the fifth level of the Tower. I think the odds are against us.”

Xu Han had the best understanding of elemental energy. He was also the one with the highest attainments in the field of attribute energy. Naturally, Xu Han had a better understanding of the difficulty and danger of Attribute Fusion.

Xu Han knew Liu Yan was a rare genius who could accomplish many impossible things.

However, Attribute Fusion was too exaggerated. It was beyond what the awakened ones on the fifth level of the Tower could do. Even the top experts on the tenth level of the Tower might not be able to do it, let alone Liu Yan.

Even though Xu Han trusted Liu Yan, he could not believe that Liu Yan could successfully use Attribute Fusion.

Hearing Xu Han’s words, everyone’s faces were filled with despair.

Although they did not know much about this, just listening to Xu Han’s explanation, they could roughly imagine how difficult it was to fuse different attributes. No matter how talented Liu Yan was, he could not do it.

“I did not think Captain Liu would work so hard to do something as dangerous as Attribute Fusion.”

“Captain Liu is doing this for us. Otherwise, with his strength, wouldn’t it be easy for him to escape from the Moonshine Qilin’s pursuit and save his life?”

“Sigh, what can we do now? I want to help Captain Liu.”

“Yeah, letting the captain bear the burden alone. We’re nothing.”

“No, we have to think of a way to help.”

…

Everyone was ashamed of their powerlessness.

Chu Long saw the wounds that kept appearing on Liu Yan’s body. In the beginning, they were only superficial wounds and would only cause extreme pain.

However, as time passed, the collision between the wood attribute and the metal attribute energy became more intense. The wounds on Liu Yan’s body also became more severe.

Until now, many of the wounds on Liu Yan’s body were so deep that one could see his bones. It was extremely shocking.

With Liu Yan’s recovery speed, it was naturally difficult for him to recover from such a severe wound in a brief period.

Not long after, Liu Yan’s body was covered in wounds. His body was covered in blood.

When Chu Long saw this scene, her heart instantly ached.

“Can I cast a healing skill on Brother Liu Yan to help him recover from his wounds and alleviate the pain?” Chu Long could not help but ask.

Xu Han heard Chu Long. He shook his head repeatedly and said, “No! Although it seems we are doomed, there is still a tiny glimmer of hope. If you use a healing skill and disrupt the elemental fluctuations over there, you will likely kill Liu Yan and make him die on the spot.”

Upon hearing this, Chu Long immediately understood this reasoning and dismissed the idea of helping Liu Yan.

Even though her heart ached when she saw Liu Yan covered in blood and wounds, Chu Long could only endure it.

Allen Smith also said, “We can’t do anything now. We can only wait for the result quietly and don’t disturb Liu Yan.”

When the team members heard this, they sighed helplessly. They could not help in any way. They could only watch as their team captain, Liu Yan, endured such terrifying pain.

At the same time, Liu Yan, who was in front of them, had reached a critical moment.

Even though the metal attribute and wood attribute energies were clashing constantly, Liu Yan had gradually grasped some of the characteristics of these two elements.

The metal attribute energy was more overbearing and fierce, and the wood attribute energy was gentle but firm.

Relying on his mastery of the secret arts of the two attribute energies and his understanding of these two attributes, Liu Yan could control the two attribute energies in front of him.

Although this was only the first step of fusing the two attribute energy, it was also the simplest step.

However, this was already enough for Liu Yan.

With Liu Yan’s strength, it was impossible for him to fuse two attribute energies successfully.

Liu Yan would at least have to reach the eighth or ninth level of the Tower to become a top expert, if not the tenth level.

Right now, Liu Yan used all his strength to barely stable the fusion of two attribute energies. His entire body was full of injuries.

If Liu Yan did not rebuild his body, he probably would not have been able to hold on.

And even now, Liu Yan was still forcefully holding on by relying on a sliver of his will.

As for the remaining process of the Attribute Fusion, it was left to Flying Cloud Mystic Bow to complete.

When the time was right, Liu Yan immediately activated God’s Effect of Flying Cloud Mystic Bow, Elemental Condensation!

The instant the Elemental Condensation was activated, Liu Yan felt much more relaxed. He hurriedly charged the two attribute energies into Flying Cloud Mystic Bow’s body.

As the large amount of two attribute energies left Liu Yan’s control and entered Flying Cloud Mystic Bow, the pressure on Liu Yan’s body also decreased.
