Chapter 191: Ch 191- Little Brother

’Yes.’

As soon as Mo Yuan gave the command, his vision changed. In the next instant, his consciousness returned to the familiar Talent Tree Space.

The massive tree stood before him, its branches stretching into the darkness. Among them, the branches representing his talents were clearly visible. The Strength Talent branch was relatively thick, while the Gigantification Talent branch was noticeably thinner.

Mo Yuan watched as the two branches began to move.

The Strength Talent branch extended toward the Gigantification Talent branch and the two slowly connected. The moment they touched, a powerful force spread through the Talent Tree Space.

BOOM!

A loud explosion echoed through the darkness.

Before Mo Yuan could observe anything else, his consciousness was pulled back into his body. He opened his eyes and found himself sitting inside his cultivation chamber, just as before.

’Another successful fusion?’

He immediately opened his talent panel.

Strength Talent: Ultimate Grade ★ [Active]

Mo Yuan’s eyes stopped on the little star behind the talent’s grade.

As expected, the fusion had succeeded.

However, the name remained Strength Talent instead of changing to something new. He stared at it for a moment before shrugging.

’Maybe the stronger talent keeps its original name after fusion. Whatever, let’s see what has changed.’

As soon as he focused on the talent, new information appeared in his mind.

Mo Yuan quickly understood the result of the fusion and a faint smile appeared on his face.

His original Ultimate Grade Strength Talent provided a twenty-two-times increase in physical strength. After fusing it with the Peak Grade Gigantification Talent, the multiplier had increased to twenty-four times.

The improvement was only two times.

Still, Mo Yuan wasn’t disappointed.

Gigantification was only a Peak Grade talent, while his Strength Talent was already Ultimate Grade. It would have been unreasonable to expect an enormous improvement from such a difference in grades.

More importantly, the multiplier applied to his already terrifying physical strength.

Even a small increase could make a huge difference when combined with his other abilities.

’Hmm, my base strength is fifteen million jin. With the new Strength Talent multiplier, Boundless Saber Art, Blood Saber Intent and Primordial Qi enhancement...’

Mo Yuan quickly calculated the result in his mind.

15 million × 24 × 9 × 2 × 2.

’12.96 billion jin. Almost thirteen billion! Not bad at all.’

His strength had increased by nearly one billion jin compared to before the fusion.

For an ordinary cultivator, such an increase might be unimaginable. For Mo Yuan, who already possessed several powerful talents and techniques, it was another valuable improvement.

However, the fusion had not removed Gigantification’s special ability.

He could still increase the size of his body.

’So, the size multiplier is still five times?’

Mo Yuan checked the information again but the result remained the same. Gigantification could only increase his body size by five times.

Then Mo Yuan stood up and looked at the ceiling of his cultivation chamber.

The room had been specially designed for cultivation, so the ceiling was already about two and a half meters high. Yet, it was obviously nowhere near enough for his giant form.

’I really want to test this talent.’

His eyes flickered as he considered where to go.

’Cang Wilderness should work. As long as I stay close to Cang Lan Base, I should be fine.’

He still remembered the Flood Dragon that ruled the Cang Wilderness Forbidden Area and from David he had heard that it had recently reached the Monarch Realm.

Of course, Mo Yuan had his Exceptional Grade Shadow Walk Talent. Once he entered the second layer of the Shadow Realm even Monarch Realm cultivators would struggle to detect him but he wasn’t foolish enough to believe he was completely invincible.

What if the Flood Dragon possessed a special talent that could detect him? What if it had some other hidden ability that could threaten him before he managed to enter the Shadow Realm?

There was no need to take such risks just to test a talent.

He would find a suitable location, transform and return as soon as he was done.

’Let’s go.’

Mo Yuan activated Shadow Walk and disappeared from the cultivation chamber.

Moving through the second layer of the Shadow Realm, he quickly travelled toward the Cang Wilderness. With his current speed, the journey took barely a second.

Soon, he reached an area relatively close to Cang Lan Base. After checking his surroundings and making sure there were no humans or beasts nearby, he returned to the real world.

’This should be fine.’

Mo Yuan immediately activated his newly fused Strength Talent and tried to trigger Gigantification.

His body began to change.

His muscles expanded, his limbs grew longer and his entire body rapidly increased in size. In the blink of an eye, he had transformed from an ordinary human into a nine-and-a-half-meter-tall giant.

However, before he could properly admire his new form, he heard a tearing sound.

Rrrrip!

His clothes had been completely destroyed by the sudden transformation.

Mo Yuan froze.

’Oh, shit!’

He lowered his head and looked at himself. A moment later, his eyes widened in horror.

’Oh, no!’

Without wasting another second, he activated his Body Morphing Talent. A thin layer of skin spread across his body, covering his front, back and chest like a tight-fitting suit.

Only after making sure everything was covered did Mo Yuan finally relax.

He looked down at his enormous body again and nodded with satisfaction.

’It’s not exactly fashionable but it’s better than walking around with my little brother hanging out.’

He would have to prepare special clothes if he wanted to use this ability regularly. Ordinary clothes simply couldn’t withstand a fivefold increase in his body size.

Putting that embarrassing problem aside, Mo Yuan finally focused on the feeling of his transformed body.

Power!

An enormous amount of power filled his muscles. Every movement seemed capable of crushing the ground beneath his feet. Even without making any effort, he could feel the tremendous strength contained in his giant body.

At the same time, he noticed something else.

The Primordial Qi inside his body was steadily decreasing.

Gigantification consumed Primordial Qi continuously and maintaining this form would eventually exhaust his reserves. Still, Mo Yuan wasn’t too worried. He immediately activated True Sight and observed the flow of Primordial Qi throughout his body.

Under the effect of True Sight, he could clearly see how the energy moved through his meridians. He adjusted its circulation, guiding it along a more efficient path and reducing unnecessary energy loss.

After a short while, he noticed an improvement.

’Not bad. True Sight makes controlling Primordial Qi much easier. I should be able to maintain this form for longer than before.’

Satisfied with the result, Mo Yuan deactivated Gigantification. His body quickly returned to its normal size and he took out a fresh set of clothes from his storage space.

After getting dressed, he looked around one last time.

He had confirmed that the fusion worked, tested his giant form and learned that True Sight could improve his energy efficiency even further.

There was no reason to stay any longer.

’Time to go home.’

He activated Shadow Walk and entered the Shadow Realm once again.

A second later, Mo Yuan returned home and stepped out of the shadows. Then he sat cross-legged and summoned his talent panel.

’I still have one fusion chance left. Which two talents should I combine this time?’

His eyes moved across the list of talents he possessed.

Unfortunately, most of them were already at high grades and he couldn’t find another pair that seemed particularly suitable for fusion.

Then his gaze stopped on two names.

Shadow Talent: Standard Grade.

Shadow Walk Talent: Exceptional Grade.

Mo Yuan raised an eyebrow.

The two talents were clearly related.

Although their grades were vastly different, Mo yuan was sure that they would definitely fuse.

’Well, I don’t have any choice.’

Mo Yuan made his decision and sent a mental command.

Do you want to fuse Shadow Talent and Shadow Walk Talent?

Yes / No

’Yes.’
