Chapter 15: To Hell with Dual Cultivation of Magic and Martial Arts

“Where, where… by the way, what can I exchange these reward points for with the Master God? Any recommendations, Wu Xian?”

Hearing Wu Xian’s praise, Zheng Zhe’s heart leapt with joy, and he quickly asked.

“You can communicate with the Master God right now—I’ll use my team leader privileges to filter options for you, showing only the enhancements or items currently available… but don’t rush to exchange anything. Confirm your choice first and tell me, so I can advise you and help you avoid pitfalls.”

Remembering Zheng Zhe’s performance in the original novel, Wu Xian added one last warning, fearing the other might somehow cobble together some absurd enhancement combining opposing positive and negative forces.

Anyone who’s read Infinite Terror knows that although Zheng Zhe becomes terrifyingly strong in Dawn and Primordial History, crushing opponents with a single punch, in the early stages of Infinite Terror, he’s the laughingstock of his tier—anyone who unlocks the same level of Gene Lock can easily overpower him, at worst still winning four to six.

Ultimately, this stems from Zheng Zhe’s initial choices: the Vampire bloodline enhancement and Qi Gong enhancement.

These two enhancement paths have completely opposite, even mutually conflicting, extreme attributes.

Separately, they’re fine—but inside the same person, it’s not just about hindering each other; one day, he might just explode.

Well, Zheng Zhe actually did develop a skill called “Explosion,” which wounds the enemy ten thousand but damages himself eight thousand; had he not been the reincarnation of a fragment of Pangu’s true personality, he’d never have unlocked Primordial—Opening Heaven and Earth, a power bordering on miracle.

To avoid future slacking, Wu Xian decided to intervene and steer Zheng Zhe away from dead ends—make him focus on mastering one enhancement path first before chasing flashy, contradictory gimmicks.

What, you say that means no Primordial—Opening Heaven and Earth?

Don’t joke— the author himself confirmed: no matter which enhancement path Zheng Zhe starts with, he’ll inevitably unlock either Primordial or Original Darkness by the end.

In a way, it’s his unique innate talent as a reincarnated ancient.

“I found it!”

A few minutes later, Zheng Zhe exclaimed excitedly: “The mutated Vampire Baron bloodline and basic Qi Gong enhancement only cost 1,300 reward points and two D-rank side quests—I’ll still have 700 reward points and one D-rank side quest left to buy a decent weapon!”

Damn! Of course it’s still this!

“...Mind telling me what mindset led you to choose these two utterly incompatible enhancement paths?”

Suppressing the urge to slap the guy, Wu Xian asked in as calm a tone as he could manage.

“Hey, what’s wrong with these two enhancements?”

Zheng Zhe, still not in his “Scarlet Emperor’s Corruption” state, sensed Wu Xian’s disapproval from his tone and expression, so he awkwardly scratched his head and explained:

“I figured vampires have strong regenerative abilities and built-in magic skills—that’d boost my survival odds in horror movies.”

“As for Qi Gong… I watched plenty of wuxia films as a kid—Eighteen Dragon-Subduing Palms, Du Gu’s Nine Swords, stuff like that—looked so cool. And if I combine it with vampire powers, it’s like dual cultivation of magic and martial arts. Isn’t that how every novel protagonist does it?”

Dual cultivation of magic and martial arts… heh! You’re a real genius, you bastard!

Wu Xian covered his face with his hand, momentarily forgetting that Zheng Zhe’s era was the peak of Western fantasy novels.

Things like martial energy and magic, dual cultivation—those were mandatory tags for protagonists; no wonder he picked this absurd path.

Good thing it’s not too late to fix it.

“I personally advise against combining these two paths. First, they cost too many reward points; second, vampire energy is negative, while Qi Gong is positive—when they clash inside you, the conflict will be severe and cause serious harm to your body.”

Here, Wu Xian paused, his expression turning grave: “Don’t think I’m exaggerating. Remember I told you I had other teammates before I met you?”

“One of them chose a similar enhancement—and in the world of Final Destination, he exploded due to internal energy conflict.”

“What?! That’s insane!”

Zheng Zhe, startled by Wu Xian’s “made-up teammate” story, immediately broke into a cold sweat.

He also felt a pang of relief—he was glad he’d listened to Wu Xian and hadn’t rushed the exchange; otherwise, he might’ve been the next one to explode.

“It’s exactly that extreme. I only learned this after returning to the Master God Space and researching extensively—any extreme energies involving positive and negative yin-yang principles almost never coexist. At best, they slow your evolution; at worst, they kill you. Bottom line: never choose this combo.”

Wu Xian waved his hand decisively: “Don’t overthink it—each of these paths is strong on its own. But I recommend the Vampire path.

As you said, vampires have solid survivability, useful in nearly all horror movies.

Plus, their upper limit is excellent—if you keep enhancing all the way to Vampire Prince or even Vampire Ancestor, you’ll be a true powerhouse among all Lunhuixiaodui .”

To be fair, without exaggeration, the Master God Space’s mutated Vampire enhancement path offers outstanding value.

Those who choose this bloodline have both a high floor and a high ceiling—perfect for newcomers to survive their early stages.

As for Saiyan or Kryptonian bloodlines—the former isn’t even on the Master God’s exchange list; according to standard rules, you’d need to find the gene fragments in some ruin before returning to the Master God Space for enhancement. Still, its “stronger when facing stronger” trait would suit Zheng Zhe well.

And the Kryptonian enhancement? It’s available here—but damn expensive.

Just the basic Kryptonian civilian bloodline costs one A-rank side quest and 10,000 reward points… such a high starting price? Even Wu Xian, before surviving Biohazard, couldn’t afford it, let alone Zheng Zhe.

“I see… I understand… Ah!”

On the other side, after hearing Wu Xian’s analysis, Zheng Zhe nodded thoughtfully.

But then his expression froze—he stared at Wu Xian in shock: “All the Lunhuixiaodui ? You mean there are other Lunhuixiaodui in the Master God Space?!”

Hearing this, the other three also widened their eyes, turning to Wu Xian, waiting for his answer.

“Of course!”

Wu Xian rolled his eyes, exasperated: “If there was only one Lunhuixiaodui , why would we even call ourselves the Zhongzhou Team? Why not just call it the Lunhui Team or Master God Team?”

“Oh… I thought ‘Zhongzhou Team’ was just your own name?”

The group chuckled awkwardly, faces flushed—before Wu Xian raised his hand to cut them off:

“Enough. I know you’re curious about other Lunhuixiaodui , but that’s not your concern yet. Finish your enhancements first. I’ll answer your other questions later—I promise to satisfy your curiosity.”
