Through these 9 months, Cao Mao didn't spar with many 200% clones since he focused on increasing his Yin and Yang Essence to buy Ring of Yin Slaves for the girls, so he could copy their skills. His cultivation base was also capped at the max level of the 3rd stage.
The system gave him another restriction.
Please complete all tutorial quests and accept a protagonist hunt quest to unlock the next cultivation realm.
Cao Mao couldn't help it since this useless system always nerfed his cultivation base, forcing him to focus on this task.
At present, Ju Chen and yin slaves got their precious rings, the Ring of Yin Slave. All their skills, except for their element mastery, was copied and listed in Cao Mao's system menu.
Most yin slaves possessed the same skillset. However, Ju Chen and Kang Yan stood out from the rest.
Jiang Lan and yin slaves could use ice manipulation, ice shield array, and succubus sense. They could also use Yin Flame. However, Cao Mao had already mastered Dual-Flame, so the system didn't list the skill for him.
Kang Yan's talent in swordsmanship surpassed Cao Mao. She studied under Jia Shan later than him, but she had already reached the one-with-the-sword state of mind. Furthermore, she obtained enlightenment while she was practicing Simplified Murder Sword Formation, and she came up with a skill of her own, Death Sword Formation.
Because of her diligence, talent, and the dual-cultivation perk, Kang Yan's strength reached the great circle of the 4th-stage, Essence Gathering Realm, surpassing other girls, who got stuck at the initial 4th-stage.
Despite Kang Yan's achievement, it seemed cute when compared with Ju Chen.
The glutton vampire girl was the owner of several deadly skills, Vampiric Touch, Vampiric Sense, Blood Manipulation, Blood Extraction, Blood Soldier Formation, and Dance of Death. All these skill names seemed badass, but that didn't compare to her hidden cultivation base.
Ju Chen was a realm stronger than Kang Yan, the 5th-stage, Foundation Establishment Realm. She had already comprehended two elements, blood element, and ice element. After Cao Mao had completely brainwashed her, she revealed her strength, which terrified everybody.
As for Wei Yuan, the dual-cultivation boosted her strength to the intermediate essence gathering realm as well. Unfortunately, Wei Yuan could not become his yin slave due to her demonic constitution and her resistance to the brainwashing effect, so she could not wear the slave ring. Cao Mao couldn't learn her abilities.
At the moment, Cao Mao put the yin slave matters to the back of his head. He opened another system panel, the skill fusion feature.
In this menu, there were 10 slots, which Cao Mao could add the skills into. At the bottom, the only button, FUSION, was flashing in golden light, tempting him to click it. Meanwhile, on the right side of the menu, it showed the possible results.
Cao Mao tested the fusion feature by putting Yin Fire Immunity and Yang Fire Immunity together.
BZZ
You cannot fusion physique, bloodline, or immunity.
Please upgrade this feature by collecting Heavenly Fortune Blessing from dead protagonists.
Current Heavenly Fortune Blessing, one.
The requirement for the next upgrade, five.
Note, this feature automatically upgrades when you have enough Heavenly Fortune Blessing. The number of blessings will not decrease upon usage.
Cao Mao had a pokerface when the system encouraged him to kill four more protagonists to upgrade this system feature. It sounded like a scam.
Since Cao Mao couldn't combine his physique, immunity, or bloodline yet, he turned toward his other skills. He added two minor skills, Body Cleansing, and Turtle Breathing, to the boxes.
The system allowed him this time.
As soon as the two skills were added to the left panel, the right screen changed.
.
Possible Results
85% Breath of Cleansing
10% Breath of Purification
4% Hibernating Breath
1% Longevity Breath
.
Cao Mao's face twitched. He didn't like these chance-based results since he had PTSD from mobile gacha games. Nothing good would come out of gambling.
But then, his heart thumped. The 1% chance Longevity Breath glowed in rainbow color.
Ding
You have a piece of Heavenly Fortune Blessing with you. Once a year, you can turn any percentage chance to 100%.
As expected from a cheating blessing from a protagonist, it could even cheat the system.
Still, Cao Mao chose not to use the once-a-year cheat for now. After all, there might be some combination that could create the ultimate skill.
”What if I put all my swordsmanship skills in here?”
Nine fusion slots were filled with the following skills,
Qing Swordsmanship +20
Million Rapier Dance +20
Butterfly Sword Style +20
Iron Wall Sword Fortress +20
Stripper Swordsmanship
Rakshasa Swordsmanship
Incomplete Fire Dragon Saber Style
Simplified Murder Sword Formation
Death Sword Formation
Some of the abilities belonged to the saber and rapier style, but Cao Mao didn't care since they were similar to a sword technique.
Ding
It only took a few seconds for the system to process the possible results.
And the list of new skills was interesting.
