Chapter 71: A king does not take pride in his bloodline, but the bloodline takes pride in the king

“You should be fine, right?”

Meng Zhangqing looked at Chijin.

“No... just rest for a while... and I’ll be fine...”

At this time, Chijin had returned to its normal speaking rhythm.

That sword strike was more than just holding back; it was almost entirely held back.

It looked miserable, but it was all on the surface.

“Alright, then I’ll be going first; I have other things to do in the secret realm.”

Meng Zhangqing smiled slightly.

“Good.”

Chijin nodded.

The secret realm opened for seven days, and today was only the fourth day.

Before leaving, Meng Zhangqing also nodded to Shi Guang and Shi Yao.

The two brothers also responded quickly.

At this moment, in their eyes, Meng Zhangqing was no longer an ordinary senior brother.

“I didn’t expect Senior Brother Meng’s true strength to be so terrifying.”

Shi Yao swallowed, and there was still a look of lingering fear in his large eyes.

“Yeah.”

Shi Guang nodded.

Just that sword strike from before, even if he and his brother went up together, he reckoned they wouldn’t be able to block it.

It was a complete crushing of strength.

However, as long as he waited until he grasped his bloodline skill, he should be able to catch up.

Thinking this.

Shi Guang hurriedly closed his eyes.

As long as he completely digested this marrow stone, he would definitely be able to grasp his bloodline skill.

——

Meng Zhangqing didn’t linger here.

Because there was no value in lingering, and he had other things to do.

For example, fusing the attributes he had obtained.

And going to look for a special flame; as a second-grade alchemist, he couldn’t be without alchemy fire.

And with Meng Zhangqing’s departure.

The disciples here also began to leave one after another.

But the heat of the discussion about Meng Zhangqing didn’t decrease in the slightest; instead, it kept rising sharply.

After all, the information about Meng Zhangqing in the past was simply too little, completely incomparable to other top-tier geniuses; many people only found out about him today.

So Meng Zhangqing’s appearance truly gave people a stunning feeling of a dark horse!

——

After leaving the plain, Meng Zhangqing found a quiet place.

He sat cross-legged.

Then he opened his character panel.

This time, he had added three friends in a row, and the harvest was not insignificant.

[Host: Meng Zhangqing]

[...]

[Cultivation Techniques & Martial Skills: “Nether Sea Returning Origin Technique” (Perfect), “Exquisite Great Luo Heaven” (Second Layer), “Exquisite Cold Moon Sword Scripture” (Perfect), “Heavenly Gang Tyrant Body” (Perfect)...]

[Unfused Attributes: Stone Man Bloodline, Great Strength Demonic Ape Bloodline]

[Remaining Rewards: Profound-grade Martial Skill Mastery Card *2, Bloodline Purification Card *1]

“Two top-tier bloodlines.”

Meng Zhangqing’s hands under his sleeves clenched slightly.

Anyone who could possess one would be a supreme blessing.

Let alone two.

However, before fusing, many things had to be understood clearly.

“System, if I fuse the Stone Man bloodline, will I become like the Shi brothers?”

“Hmm... in other words, is that appearance unique to the Stone Man bloodline?”

Meng Zhangqing asked.

“The fused bloodline will be dominated by the host and will not produce any anomalies.”

The system replied.

Although the words were short, they were concise and to the point.

Meng Zhangqing’s eyes immediately brightened.

It wouldn’t produce any anomalies.

This meant he could fuse them at will.

He didn’t need to worry about becoming like Shi Guang and Shi Yao, nor did he need to worry about the human and demon bloodlines conflicting.

“System, fuse the bloodlines in order.”

After being reassured, Meng Zhangqing closed his eyes and recited silently in his heart.

“Ding!”

“Fusion starting!”

The moment the words fell.

Meng Zhangqing felt his body shake.

Countless cold sensations were born in his body and gradually spread.

Meng Zhangqing immediately activated his internal vision.

He wanted to see the specific changes in his bloodline.

“Is this the Stone Man bloodline?”

He clearly saw silver-white blood emerging in his body, which was completely opposite to his original blood-red color.

At the same time.

His physical body, whether it was flesh or bones, was rapidly becoming tougher.

The Stone Man bloodline was a body-refining bloodline.

In terms of defense, it could be said to be peerless in the world!

Even if he didn’t practice any cultivation techniques.

His body itself was hard enough.

Like iron and stone!

The fusion of the bloodline wasn’t that fast, taking a full hour to finish.

Whoosh!

Meng Zhangqing opened his eyes.

A heavy aura immediately surged on his body, like a mountain descending, towering and indestructible!

“As expected of a top-tier body-refining bloodline; the defense of the physical body alone is already comparable to a perfect Profound-grade low-tier body-refining technique.”

“If I activate the ‘Heavenly Gang Tyrant Body,’ the defense will be raised to an unimaginable level.”

“Unless a Heaven’s Pride level expert attacks, or someone possesses a high-grade spirit weapon, it would be extremely difficult to break through my defense.”

Meng Zhangqing nodded with satisfaction.

In this way, his shortcoming in defense was gone.

It didn’t give him much time to check.

The system began the fusion of [Great Strength Demonic Ape].

It was still a thick, cool sensation spreading throughout his body.

It was just that, unlike the [Stone Man bloodline], under internal vision, the [Great Strength Demonic Ape] bloodline was deep black, full of a wild nature!

Logically speaking, when two completely different bloodlines met, they would inevitably produce repulsion...

But here, it didn’t happen.

In his thick blood vessels, the red, silver-white, and black blood flowed in a very orderly and distinct manner.

It was a state where they ignored each other and didn’t fight each other.

“System, you’re awesome.”

Meng Zhangqing silently gave a thumbs up.

Under normal circumstances, during fusion, his own ordinary bloodline would definitely be swallowed by the powerful [Stone Man bloodline] and completely transformed into a stone man.

Then the [Stone Man bloodline] would conflict with the [Great Strength Demonic Ape].

Treating his body as a battlefield.

Under the intense fighting, he wouldn’t have a good result.

And now.

There were no anomalies at all.

His own bloodline was still in a dominant position, above the two, belonging to the controller.

This was also the state Meng Zhangqing wanted most.

While keeping himself unchanged, he only possessed its functions.

Regarding bloodlines.
