Chapter 187

"Pity, he's just too young."

"If he weren't young, and had the same Ability Index as me, I wouldn't fear the Demon Realm or demonized Ability users."

But unfortunately,

Both of them felt.

Lin Yu's age…

Too small.

Unless there's some special opportunity, or familial physical traits, ordinary people who break through 10,000 points by eighteen or their early twenties are geniuses; those who break through 20,000 points are once-in-a-generation prodigies; 30,000 and 40,000 points? Unless they're chosen by fate, it's simply impossible!

According to what the two knew, only the Jiu D Chang Lao family might possibly break through 40,000 points at age seventeen—using Life Overdraft Ability!

"But Dad, do you know his Ability Index?" Seeing Xiong Ge asked.

"... Don't know." Xia Liu shook his head. "But even if it's higher, it shouldn't exceed 15,000 points, right?"

He thought this was already the limit.

Moreover,

Lin Yu's Ability family doesn't seem well-known; as far as they knew, there was no Lin-family Ability clan.

Regarding Xia Liu Agong's shock,

Lin Yu paid it no mind.

Now that he had cultivated Ability techniques, he had deeper ideas about the third-layer cultivation methods, and in his mind, he could soon break through the third layer!

And at the same time,

He was continuously cultivating and evolving his Abilities.

From just beginning to cultivate, to rapidly evolving his Abilities several times in a short span, Lin Yu had hit a bottleneck—he needed to cultivate more Abilities to break through.

So,

He planned to cultivate and evolve even more Abilities before his combat index recovered!

And to achieve this,

The best method,

Was certainly…

To communicate more with Xia Liu Agong.

Thus, under Xia Liu Agong's daily stunned gazes, Lin Yu continually discussed these Ability evolutions with him; at first, Lin Yu asked Xia Liu Agong questions.

But gradually,

Lin Yu began teaching Xia Liu Agong, though at critical points, Xia Liu Agong's rich Ability knowledge still offered Lin Yu some help.

Time passed slowly.

And one night,

-【Detected combat evolution options available】

-【View options?】

With the system's prompt, Lin Yu chose to open the system and view.

-【Combat: 20000/20000】 (Select evolution direction)

-【Available evolution directions: Random, Ability】

-【Please select:】

820 -【Ability selected. Choose branch:】 (Each different proficiency level allows selection of a different branch; multiple evolutions allow these branches to fuse)

-【Condensation technique, Repetition technique, Ability Defense Shield…】

All the Abilities Lin Yu had cultivated appeared one by one.

Lin Yu's eyes narrowed slightly.

This seemed…

Interesting.

He thought for a moment.

He directly selected Condensation technique.

-【Evolving…】

-【Evolution complete】

-【Combat: 0/50000】

-【Obtained: Ability Combat · Condensation】

-【Ability Combat · Condensation: When attacking, there is a certain probability to trigger Condensation technique. After each attack, the probability stacks. Can be upgraded; upon upgrade, probability and power increase (enhances Abilities)】

A brief description.

Yet it made Lin Yu's eyes narrow slightly.

Hum!

Boom!

The instant Lin Yu threw a punch, he felt a terrifying energy surging through his fist—and as the punch exploded outward, it instantly froze the surrounding air…

Solidified!

And ahead!

A vacuum-like point of solidification appeared.

"Interesting."

Lin Yu sensed the importance of his choice to evolve.

With this style of attack, he effectively eliminated the need to activate his Ability separately—he simply…

Iron Dimension!

Gold Dimension!

The combat styles of two dimensions…

Merged together!!.

【108】 The youth whose Phantom Eyes outside the Xia Mansion made even the Phantom Eyes feel fear!

Two combat styles.

Merged together through evolution!.

Even Lin Yu had not anticipated it.

But it was precisely this fusion that gave Lin Yu a sense of how to break through the third layer, and somewhere deep down he seemed to have a guess — whether in the future not only combat styles would fuse…

Could even the utterly different physiques and energies of the Iron Dimension and Gold Dimension be merged together, evolving into a higher-grade physique, ability, and energy?

This was only a simple idea.

Lin Yu wasn't sure either.

Whether it could be done.

But for now, he had to first evolve the third-layer cultivation method before he could consider whether this approach was feasible, and within the third-layer cultivation method, he planned to incorporate evolutionary directions such as the abilities and ability physiques of the Iron Dimension.

"Combat power index…"

"3000 points."

Lin Yu sensed that his own combat power index had already soared from 23,000 points to 26,000 points! Through the upgrade of his fighting technique, his combat power index had also risen, and his current extreme combat power index could approach 37,000–38,000 points! With such a high combat power index, facing any perilous situation…

He had the strength to fight!

"It's about time."

Lin Yu sensed the combat power index within his body and felt he had mostly recovered.

It was also time…

To take his leave.

After taking his leave.
