honest, he really didn't expect that just going out for a simple trip would allow him to meet a genius!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And not an ordinary genius!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"But why would such a genius be in the outer sect?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Meng Zhangqing frowned slightly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Then he shook his head.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Don't think about it for now; this girl Bai Suxi looks like she has a story, she is not an ordinary person.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>\"System, fuse the Grade 2 Root Bone!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Meng Zhangqing said with some anticipation.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After fusing the Grade 4 Root Bone yesterday, his cultivation speed had increased by about tenfold.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Now, with a Grade 2 Root Bone, how terrifying would it be?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Ding!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Fusion starting!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As the words fell!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A familiar sensation emerged.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A cool feeling, far more intense than before, surged throughout his entire body.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It permeated his limbs, bones, internal organs, and every part of him!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This was the upgrading of his Root Bone quality!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A moment later.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The fusion ended.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Meng Zhangqing slowly opened his eyes.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His entire temperament seemed to have changed significantly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>There was a sense of all dust being washed away, a sublimation of the physical body!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It was quite marvelous.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In ancient texts, there is such a saying.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It says that humans were once innate spirits, their bodies like clear crystal, untainted by a speck of dust.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It was only later that they encountered calamities, had their innate names erased, and their internal treasures sealed, thus requiring cultivation to open those many treasures and regain their power!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Let's test the effect!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Meng Zhangqing took out an elixir.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He swallowed it directly into his stomach.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Whoosh!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In just a single breath's time, it was completely absorbed by his body, leaving not a trace behind.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This speed was almost fifty times that of the Grade 4 Root Bone!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"So terrifying!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Meng Zhangqing was shocked.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Fifty times the cultivation speed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>One day was equivalent to nearly two months of cultivation for others!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"The gap in aptitude is truly despair-inducing.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Coming back to his senses, Meng Zhangqing shook his head slightly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Then, a smile appeared on his face.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Fortunately, he now had a Grade 2 Root Bone!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If he only had a Grade 4 Root Bone, it would likely take quite a long time to break through to the Opening Aperture Realm.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After all, he had only just broken through to the ninth level of the Pulse Forging Realm.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>So, by all accounts, it would take over a year to possibly reach the Opening Aperture Realm.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But now.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Provided there were sufficient resources, half a month would likely be enough!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Let's look at the talent.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Meng Zhangqing's gaze fell on the other attribute.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Talent [Nimble Hands]: A pair of hands that are innately agile, making one particularly adept when using weapons.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"A good talent.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Meng Zhangqing's eyes brightened slightly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>For someone who is good at using weapons, the boost in strength this brings is not insignificant.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Talent is distinct from Root Bone aptitude.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It is a unique trait of an individual.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Fuse.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Without the slightest hesitation, Meng Zhangqing said.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Ding!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Fusion starting!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As the words fell.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Meng Zhangqing felt his hands begin to vibrate slightly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Numerous rays of light, like flowing water, spread and crisscrossed beneath his skin.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It felt cool and refreshing.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>When the light faded, it meant the fusion was complete.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Meng Zhangqing clenched his hands slightly, feeling as if they had become a bit lighter.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Whether it was his fingers, wrists, or joints, everything had become much more flexible.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Many movements he couldn't perform before, he could now do with ease.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Clang!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He drew his sword from its sheath!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Meng Zhangqing performed three simple sword moves.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It was different from before.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The sword moves had become more agile, elusive, and unpredictable!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He could launch attacks from more angles!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It could be said that they were impossible to guard against!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Not bad!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Meng Zhangqing was very satisfied.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With this, his strength had received another significant boost!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If he were to face that Purple-Veined Crystal Bear again.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He could definitely take it down in even less time!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Finally.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Meng Zhangqing looked at the extra reward triggered by the increase in favorability.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Is it the sword intent I think it is?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Meng Zhangqing's eyes gradually grew fervent.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If it was.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Then this reward was truly excessively powerful!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Extra Reward [Sword Momentum]: An intangible momentum that requires years of sword practice and insight into many sword paths to condense!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"It really is!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Meng Zhangqing couldn't help but hold his breath.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Sword Momentum is a very profound power.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It can intimidate others' minds and amplify the power of sword techniques!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But it requires quite high comprehension to grasp.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Out of a hundred sword practitioners, one might not even appear!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And above Sword Momentum is the even rarer and more terrifying Sword Intent!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The true meaning of the sword path!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"System, you're amazing!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Meng Zhangqing praised from the bottom of his heart.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With his current comprehension, he truly didn't know when he would be able to cultivate Sword Momentum.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But now, it was within his reach!\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>\"Fuse!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Meng Zhangqing took a deep breath to calm himself down.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hum!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The next second, a massive stream of information suddenly flooded into Meng Zhangqing's mind.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It was countless fragments of the sword path.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Containing the true essence!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Meng Zhangqing absorbed them frantically.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A sharp aura gradually began to permeate his body.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This was Sword Momentum!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Whoosh!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Meng Zhangqing suddenly opened his eyes.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Sword light actually flickered in his pupils.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And the Sword Momentum on his body suddenly reached its peak!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Extremely sharp!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The long sword in his hand was even vibrating!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At this moment, Meng Zhangqing was like a divine sword with its edge fully exposed!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Making it impossible for people to look directly at him!\u003C\u002Fp>",1033,"2026-06-16T01:39:50.180Z","2026-06-16T01:58:13.594Z",1,"Gemini 3.1 Flash
