Chapter 177: Ch 177- Fusion Feature

Mo Yuan first took out a Primordial Qi Stone and looked at the small sphere in his hand.

It was only about the size of a small ball but it contained an enormous amount of Primordial Qi.

Without wasting any time, Mo Yuan opened his mouth and took a bite.

The moment the Primordial Qi Stone entered his body, a huge amount of energy suddenly spread through him.

However, instead of being absorbed by his body like normal Primordial Qi, the energy quickly changed direction.

It rushed straight toward his mind and then, it disappeared.

Mo Yuan was not surprised.

This was exactly the same thing that had happened when he consumed the Primordial Qi Stone David had given him.

Before he could think about it further, his consciousness was pulled into a familiar space.

The next moment, Mo Yuan found himself standing inside the void where his talent tree existed.

The talent tree floated silently in the darkness and at the very top was the golden Copy and Paste Talent.

The moment the energy from the Primordial Qi Stone entered this space, the golden talent suddenly trembled.

Then, it began shining brightly.

The golden light became stronger and stronger before the energy was completely absorbed by the talent.

A moment later, Mo Yuan’s consciousness returned to his body.

He opened his eyes inside the cave.

"Again."

Mo Yuan immediately opened his talent panel.

Copy and Paste Talent: Unique Grade (0.2%)

Seeing the number change from 0.1% to 0.2%, a smile appeared on Mo Yuan’s face.

"As expected."

One Primordial Qi Stone increased the progress by 0.1%.

That meant he needed exactly 1,000 Primordial Qi Stones to reach 100% and he had already collected more than enough.

Mo Yuan did not waste any time.

With a thought, 998 Primordial Qi Stones appeared around him.

Then he activated his Body Morphing Talent and countless mouths immediately appeared across his body.

It looked strange and somewhat terrifying but Mo Yuan had already become used to it.

One by one, the mouths opened and began swallowing the Primordial Qi Stones.

The moment the stones entered his body, the energy inside them spread out but just like before, the energy did not remain in his body.

It quickly gathered toward his mind and disappeared into his consciousness.

Mo Yuan remained completely focused.

The process continued for several minutes.

Stone after stone disappeared.

Ten minutes later, almost all the Primordial Qi Stones had been consumed.

Only one remained.

Mo Yuan had deliberately left it behind.

He deactivated his Body Morphing Talent, causing the countless mouths covering his body to disappear.

His body returned to normal and then he picked up the final Primordial Qi Stone.

"One last one."

Mo Yuan swallowed it.

The familiar energy once again rushed toward his mind and then his consciousness was pulled into the talent tree space.

The golden Copy and Paste Talent was shining brighter than ever before.

It looked as if an enormous amount of energy was gathering inside it.

Mo Yuan stared at it carefully.

Suddenly...

Boom!

A powerful explosion erupted from the golden talent and then the entire talent tree space trembled.

Mo Yuan’s eyes widened.

"What the..."

Before he could finish speaking, his consciousness was thrown out of the talent tree space.

He opened his eyes inside the cave.

For a moment, Mo Yuan simply sat there in confusion.

"What just happened?"

Then, suddenly, a huge amount of information entered his mind.

Mo Yuan’s expression changed.

He immediately closed his eyes and began reading through the information.

The more he understood, the brighter his eyes became.

"So that’s how it is..."

A smile slowly appeared on his face.

"Now I can finally fuse two different talents."

Talent Fusion.

That was the new ability unlocked after upgrading Copy and Paste to 100%.

However, there were restrictions.

The two talents had to have some degree of compatibility.

If the talents were completely incompatible, the fusion could fail.

Mo Yuan was not surprised by this.

There were countless different talents in the world and some talents were practically opposites of each other.

Trying to forcefully fuse two completely unrelated talents would obviously be dangerous but even with this restriction, Mo Yuan could already see the enormous potential of Talent Fusion and that was not the only change.

Mo Yuan’s eyes widened slightly as he continued reading.

"I can only fuse talents twice every fifteen days..."

He paused for a moment.

"But I can also use Copy and Paste twice within those fifteen days."

His eyes immediately lit up.

"Two talents!"

Previously, he could only copy and paste one talent every fifteen days.

Now, that limit had changed.

The cooldown period had not become shorter but he could use Copy and Paste twice during the same fifteen-day period.

This was an enormous improvement.

"This will make me even more overpowered."

A smile appeared on Mo Yuan’s face, then he immediately opened his talent panel.

One after another, his talents appeared before him.

Cultivation Talent: Exceptional Grade

Copy and Paste: Unique Grade [III]

Shadow Walk Talent: Exceptional Grade [Active]

Speed Talent: Ultimate Grade [Active]

Saber Talent: Ultimate Grade [Active]

Sword Talent: Ultimate Grade [Active]

Enlightenment Talent: Exceptional Grade [Passive]

Shadow Talent: Standard Grade [Active]

Strength Talent: Ultimate Grade [Active]

Regeneration Talent: Ultimate Grade [Passive]

Space Talent: Secondary Grade [Passive]

Comprehension Talent: Superior Grade [Passive]

Flame Talent: Inferior Grade [Active]

Endurance Talent: Standard Grade [Passive]

Defensive Talent: Ultimate Grade [Passive]

Illusion Talent: Ultimate Grade [Active]

Devour Talent: Ultimate Grade [Active]

Body Morphing Talent: Ultimate Grade [Active]

Kinetic Energy Absorption Talent: Inferior Grade [Active]

The first thing Mo Yuan noticed was the [III] behind his Copy and Paste Talent.

"So this should mean the number of times my Copy and Paste Talent has been upgraded."

Mo Yuan nodded but then he noticed another change.

Some of his talents were now marked as Active, while others were marked as Passive.

Previously, only his Enlightenment Talent had been passive.

Now, he could feel that several of his other talents had naturally become passive as well.

Most importantly, he could feel the change in his Space Talent.

His Space Sense was constantly covering the 10 meter area around him without him having to activate the talent.

"Not bad."

Mo Yuan nodded with satisfaction.

"This change is pretty good."

After examining the changes for a while, Mo Yuan’s thoughts turned toward his next plan.

"What talent should I fuse first?"

He thought for a moment.

Then his eyes fell on the corpse of the Devouring Serpent stored in his storage space.

"First, I should copy that Absorption Talent."

He had already decided that Devour and Absorption might have some connection.

Now that he could use Copy and Paste twice within fifteen days, he could finally afford to take the risk.

"And I still have one more use."

Mo Yuan immediately took out the corpse of the Devouring Serpent.

He activated Copy and Paste.

A familiar feeling swept through his mind.

Copy Complete.

Absorption Talent detected.

"Paste."

The moment Mo Yuan gave the command, intense pain suddenly spread through his body.

However, compared to the pain he had experienced when pasting Shadow Walk, this time was much easier.

A few moments later, the pain disappeared.

Mo Yuan immediately opened his talent panel.

Absorption Talent: Superior Grade

"Not bad."

Mo Yuan nodded.

"But before I fuse it with Devour, I should upgrade it to Ultimate Grade."

He immediately took out the container holding the remaining Earth Heart Nectar.

There were still 15 liters inside.

Mo Yuan opened the container and drank the required amount.

Five liters of Earth Heart Nectar entered his body.

Just like before, the powerful energy quickly rushed toward his mind and entered the talent tree.

Mo Yuan selected the Absorption Talent.

The moment he confirmed it, intense pain once again spread throughout his body.

He gritted his teeth and endured it and a few minutes later, the pain finally disappeared.

Mo Yuan immediately summoned his talent panel.

His eyes lit up when he saw the result.

Absorption Talent: Ultimate Grade

"Perfect."

Mo Yuan looked at the Ultimate Grade Devour Talent and then at the newly upgraded Absorption Talent.

A faint smile appeared on his face.

The two talents were very similar.

One devoured energy and the other other absorbed energy.

If they could successfully fuse...

Mo Yuan could not even imagine how much his cultivation speed would increase.

He took a deep breath and then he gave the mental command.

Fuse Devour and Absorption Talent?

’Yes.’
