Chapter 150: Power of Fusion
7:00 PM.
At this time, Cang Luo's family had not yet been found, but Feng Lin Huo Shan believed the three were definitely hidden in some corner of the Imperial Capital and were searching with all their might.
As for Cang Luo himself, he currently did not know his family had been kidnapped; Li Weiguo dared not let him know, fearing he would turn the world upside down and lose faith in the Motherland...
At this moment, Cang Luo, who was on the Yuanwu Continent, had already cultivated the Clear Wind Art to its final cycle; once this cycle was completed, the Clear Wind Art would be considered successfully cultivated.
Back then, the Meiti Shengong had no technique jade tablet, only books; when Cang Luo cultivated it, he had to explore point by point, meridian by meridian, taking a long time to successfully complete one cycle.
After that, it took more than half a month to complete forty-nine cycles, successfully cultivating the first layer of the Meiti Shengong.
The Clear Wind Art obtained from the Technique Pavilion was a technique jade tablet that could be learned instantly; the acupoint and meridian circulation routes were directly imprinted in his mind, leaving a Yuan Consciousness mark that could be activated to circulate effortlessly.
Moreover, the Clear Wind Art was merely a Yellow Grade Mid-Tier mental cultivation method, requiring only seven cycles to master, much faster and easier than cultivating the Meiti Shengong.
Not long after, Cang Luo felt a roar within his Lower Dantian, then discovered a small amount of pale green Yuan Power had appeared there.
The Clear Wind Art had been successfully cultivated!
Thus, Cang Luo's Lower Dantian now held four Yuan Powers of different attributes in total.
The first was the milky white attribute-less Yuan Power provided by the satellite.
The second was the orange-red Yang-attribute Yuan Power absorbed and transformed by the Earth Grade High-Tier mental cultivation method 'Meiti Shengong'.
The third was the pale blue Thunder-attribute Yuan Power absorbed and transformed by the Yellow Grade Low-Tier mental cultivation method 'Thunder Qi Art'.
The fourth was the pale green Wind-attribute Yuan Power absorbed and transformed by the Yellow Grade Mid-Tier mental cultivation method 'Clear Wind Art'.
Cang Luo happily extended his right hand, bent his thumb, and condensed Wu, Yang, Thunder, and Wind attribute Qi on his other four fingers respectively.
Looking at the milky white, orange-red, pale blue, and pale green Qi of four colors, Cang Luo suddenly paused, then chuckled: "If the attribute-less Yuan Power were yellow, wouldn't that become Microsoft's logo?"
Cang Luo smiled, observed the Wind-attribute Qi for a while, then prepared to begin attempting to merge it into the Dragon-Slaying Palm.
However, just then, a knock suddenly sounded from outside the door.
Immediately after, Yun Jiao's gentle voice came through: "Senior Brother Luo, everyone has arrived..."
"Oh... I'll be right there."
Cang Luo responded, then immediately frowned.
During the day, some members, facing the Lie Tian Gang's threat to exterminate their gang, had one by one expressed their desire to leave; he had agreed.
Moreover, to avoid dragging the rest of the Zhan Lang Gang into trouble, Cang Luo had decided to disband the gang after distributing the severance pay that night, planning to face the Lie Tian Gang alone.
However, after encountering Ouyang Lie at the Technique Pavilion, Cang Luo immediately abandoned the idea of disbanding the Zhan Lang Gang.
Cang Luo would not only not disband the Zhan Lang Gang, but he also planned to kill Ouyang Lie.
Once Ouyang Lie was dead, the Lie Tian Gang would be headless; if even their strongest leader, the Gang Master, was killed by him, would anyone dare provoke him? Dare provoke the Zhan Lang Gang?
With Ouyang Lie dead, the crisis facing the Zhan Lang Gang could be resolved instantly.
Not only that, the Zhan Lang Gang could use this opportunity to grow, recruit members widely, then turn around and annihilate the Lie Tian Gang, forging the Zhan Lang Gang into the number one gang of the Outer Sect!
And all of this would be built on the premise that he could kill Ouyang Lie.
If he could not kill Ouyang Lie, then all of this would be a fantasy, and moreover, he would die a stranger in another world.
Therefore, Ouyang Lie must die!
"It is either you die or I perish!"
Cang Luo took a deep breath, suppressed his unease, and began merging the Wind-attribute Yuan Power into the Dragon-Slaying Palm, making final preparations for tomorrow's duel.
Ten-plus minutes later, Cang Luo's face slightly stiff as he wore a satisfied smile; he had succeeded, successfully merging the Wind-attribute Yuan Power into the Dragon-Slaying Palm.
At this moment, Cang Luo's right palm trembled slightly; from a distance, one might mistake it for shivering from cold.
If viewed up close, one would discover his right palm was wrapped in a layer of fluctuating, flickering Qi.
This layer of flickering Qi had three colors: orange-red, pale blue, and pale green; the colors were very faint, and the light flickered constantly.
This was the state of the palm's surface, while inside the right palm extending to the forearm, there was a massive energy held in reserve, an energy constantly ready to erupt.
Cang Luo could barely control this energy; if it continued to brew, his right palm could explode at any moment!
"The power should be thirty percent stronger than before, but this is already the limit..."
While analyzing the power of the Dragon-Slaying Palm, Cang Luo slowly dispersed the energy within his right palm; soon, the trembling stopped, and the surface Qi vanished instantly.
"Currently, I can only merge Yuan Powers of three different attributes; if I merge one more, my right palm definitely cannot withstand it and will surely explode!"
Cang Luo did not count the attribute-less Yuan Power; after thinking it over, he treated the attribute-less Yuan Power as a fusion agent capable of merging Yuan Powers of different attributes.
This counted as a new function of the attribute-less Yuan Power provided by the satellite; not only could it heal injuries, but it could also merge Yuan Powers of other attributes.
He called it the Power of Fusion; its effect was to merge Yuan Powers and enhance the power of martial techniques.
Cang Luo guessed that the number of Yuan Powers the Power of Fusion could merge should be related to his cultivation; as cultivation rose, body strength would increase, allowing more Yuan Powers to be merged.
Furthermore, the Dragon-Slaying Palm was an enhancement of the Thunder-Rushing Palm, which itself was formed by merging multiple Yuan Powers.
Therefore, as long as it was a martial technique, it should be capable of being enhanced by the Power of Fusion.
Thinking of this, Cang Luo was extremely excited, his little heart pounding wildly.
In other words, no matter what martial technique, once it reached his hands, its power would be enhanced several times over!
Originally a Yellow Grade Low-Tier martial technique, the Thunder-Rushing Palm, after merging the Yang-attribute Yuan Power of the Meiti Shengong and the Thunder-attribute Yuan Power of the Thunder Qi Art, first defeated Long Zhantian, a Warrior Stage 9 peak cultivator, with a single palm strike across a level, and today again instantly killed Chen Yun, a Martial General Stage 2 cultivator, with a single palm strike.
The enhancement effect was beyond imagination!
"This Power of Fusion provides me with help no less than infinite Yuan Power..."
Cang Luo analyzed that the degree of enhancement should be determined by the strength of the merged Yuan Powers, and the strength of the Yuan Powers was determined by the mental cultivation method practiced; the higher the grade of the mental cultivation method, the stronger the Yuan Power, and the more awesome the enhancement effect.
However, the Power of Fusion had one weakness.
The more Yuan Powers merged, the longer the charging time when executing a martial technique.
When the Dragon-Slaying Palm merged only Yang-attribute and Thunder-attribute Yuan Powers, the charging time after mastering it was about ninety seconds.
Just now, the first time merging three Yuan Powers, it took twelve minutes; if mastered, it would still take at least three minutes.
Although three minutes was not long, in a battle that passed in the blink of an eye, it was fatal; enemies would not give him time or opportunity to charge, so it could not be used continuously, only as a trump card.
"This fused power has both advantages and disadvantages, but it's acceptable—overall, the benefits outweigh the drawbacks."
Cang Luo let out a light laugh, his confidence in tomorrow's life-or-death duel with Ouyang Lie growing stronger.
After ending his cultivation, he tidied his appearance slightly, rose, opened the door, and prepared to announce his decision to the members of the War Wolf Gang, to see how many supported him and believed in him.
Those who support and believe in me will remain in the War Wolf Gang.
Those who do not support or believe in me will be paid severance and expelled from the War Wolf Gang, and will never be rehired.
