Or even something terrifying beyond S-rank!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Of course, this fusion and enhancement requires energy—this special ‘energy’ can be proficiency rank, or external ‘fuel’…”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“There’s potential here… Some martial arts fuse uselessly, but others—if merged—would drive every martial artist mad, like the Dragon-Tiger Realm!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“If I fuse Dragon Stance and Tiger Stance when I break through to Martial Golden Core, won’t I surely overcome this barrier… Wait, that’s self-sabotage—these are demonic-god-gifted martial arts; who knows what traps remain? Martial will is the martial artist’s only anchor!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Why abandon the clear path of proficiency and take this winding, treacherous road?

In this world, only Nascent Soul True Masters can perform soul possession!

This item’s prohibition level seems higher than firearms.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Fang Xing stroked his chin.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But he’d already decided to do it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And since he was cloning one, why not clone more?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Then Master Wanfa’s ‘Blood Sacrifice Method’ would finally have use.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>What blood relation could be closer than 100% genetic similarity?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And scientifically, such clones would have zero rejection—no side effects.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Of course, this all depends on the Guardian successfully possessing the body!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Otherwise, without a spiritual root or magical power, he couldn’t practice the technique—clones would be useless.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“What’s higher than Heaven-grade spiritual root? In the cultivation world… has it ever existed?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“If such a root exists, breaking realms would be as easy as eating and drinking—just enough to keep pace with my main body’s growth…”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Fang Xing stroked his chin, then his expression grew grim: “Master Wanfa may not be truly dead… When he transformed into a ghost cultivator, to preserve his memory, he split his soul into two halves, exchanging essence… Only one died here—where’s the other? In the Wanfa Realm?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“But with my current strength, entering a realm where even a Golden Core True Master died?

What a rare visitor…”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zhang Jiarui sounded slightly resentful: “You haven’t contacted me in ages…”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Ahem, the Maple City black market has been under strict inspection lately—hard to reach…” Fang Xing cut straight to the point: “Can you get me a growth pod?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Although growth pods were designed for bio-engineered humans and differed slightly from clones, the programming could be easily modified.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Ahem… did you find out I was transferred to Yuan Yu City’s black market? And… only one faction would care about growth pods—are you from the Resistance?
