A branch skill!
This was undoubtedly a new term, but it wasn't hard to understand.
Take the Five Thunder Execution: Talisman Chapter that Ninth Uncle had mastered as an example. The Thunder Talisman, Exorcism Talisman, and so on were all independent branch skills!
The mastery of these skills was relatively independent from the general technique to a certain extent.
For example, because he hadn't invested too much EXP into the Five Thunder Execution: Talisman Chapter, Ji Ye's mastery of this technique was only at the Grasped level. However, the Thunder Talisman and Exorcism Talisman branches had reached Lesser Mastery.
Obviously, the reason why he obtained such a "branch" result was that the "Earth Thunder Technique" only took up one-twentieth of the "Five Thunder Heavenly Spirit Technique"!
"However, because I've accumulated enough Earth power, the Fusion this time is the same as the Nine Yang Divine Art. The Proficiency of this new branch skill has reached the Adept level!"
Ji Ye comprehended the information in his head.
This was undoubtedly equivalent to EXP inheritance in a sense, and it also meant that his combat ability wouldn't decrease after the Fusion.
"Also, the Earth Thunder power is no longer stored in my chest. Instead, it has been condensed in my spleen.
"In Daoist theory, the five internal organs correspond to the five elements. The liver is wood, the heart is fire, the lungs are metal, the kidneys are water, and the spleen is earth. Theoretically, if I fuse the power of the other four elements in the future, I'll be able to achieve the mutual generation of the five elements. My body will automatically condense the power of the Five Elements Divine Thunder Technique, and the technique will reach the Perfect level. "
That's right. The branch skill that Ji Ye had fused, which he simply named the Five Elements Divine Thunder Technique, had a "lazy" function similar to the Primordial Chaos Force. That was also the reason why this skill hadn't reached the Perfect level yet.
However, although it was only Superior at the moment, it had fused two legendary divine powers!
…
Night had fallen. In the shooting range next to the fort, there was no one else around.
Ji Ye stood still on one side of the shooting range, slowly raised one foot, and took a step forward.
Whoosh!
A yellow light flashed, and when his foot landed on the ground, Ji Ye was already more than ten meters away.
"Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh, whoosh …"
Then, yellow light flashed on the shooting range. After a few steps, Ji Ye had already walked from the position where the battery was placed to the target that was a hundred meters away.
"Hmm, the maximum distance of a single step is about five zhang! As expected, there's still a gap between it and the real Distance Reduction. "
After the yellow light dissipated, Ji Ye calculated in his mind.
After all, it was only an Extraordinary skill. It couldn't really shrink a distance of a thousand kilometers into an inch like in the legends.
In addition, the current "Distance Reduction" was limited by the terrain to a certain extent.
This was because this "Distance Reduction" was actually using the "Earth Thunder" on his body to communicate with the Earth Qi and create a "high-speed passage".
It wasn't a true "teleportation" that involved the power of space, so it couldn't be said to be able to ignore obstacles.
Furthermore, because he moved too fast, he had to consume a portion of the "Earth Thunder" to protect his body when he used this divine power. Because of that, the consumption would be relatively large. For now, it could only be used for combat and couldn't be used for long-distance travel like some alacrity skills!
"However, in terms of speed, it's definitely faster than many alacrity skills (Immortal Martial Arts)."
The speed of "Distance Reduction" was indeed very fast. He could cover more than ten meters with one step, and it only took him six or seven steps to cross the 100-meter shooting range.
Of course, compared to alacrity skills, because "Distance Reduction" needed to borrow the Earth Qi, it couldn't be said to be able to stand on water or walk in the air. Perhaps it didn't look as good.
However, that clearly wasn't a problem.
It was because after fusing the "Earth Power" into the Five Thunder Heavenly Spirit Technique, he could obtain the ability to "Distance Reduction".
Then, if he could fuse the power of water into the Five Thunder Heavenly Spirit Technique, he might be able to gain the ability to ride on clouds and walk on water!
Well, to be more precise, because of the Flood Dragon Bloodline, Ji Ye was already able to walk on water and ride on clouds. It was just that he didn't have enough Flood Dragon Blood, so he couldn't use the latter yet.
Therefore, he didn't have much desire for alacrity skills.
"Well, I'm one step closer to being able to court death at will!"
After testing his newly acquired ability, Ji Ye smiled again.
He had to admit that for those who played extreme sports such as parkour, "Distance Reduction" was definitely the ability that they looked forward to the most.
"However, with this divine power, it won't be easy for me to die. Now, I really hope that some Eagle Men will come to me tonight and try it out! "
For Ji Ye, he could move more than ten meters in an instant. Together with the remote senses of his Extraordinary Rank-5 mental power, he was confident that he could dodge even bullets, not to mention the Eagle Men's arrows!
However, to Ji Ye's disappointment, there were no "fireworks" in the sky even after midnight!
After they got the gunpowder, apart from making cannons, the Twin Dragon Mount fort also used it to make fireworks!
According to the history of Chidragon's development, that was actually a serious criticism. After all, the most popular saying on the Internet was, "We invented gunpowder and used it to set off fireworks, but the Westerners used it to make cannons."
Such a person probably didn't know the history of Chidragon's ancient firearms.
Also, technically speaking, the fireworks that the Twin Dragon Mount fort created should be "signal flares".
According to the previous arrangement, once the Eagle Men attacked, they would simply release the fireworks into the sky, and the other people would decide what to do according to the color and type of the fireworks.
Theoretically speaking, there wouldn't be a problem that the fireworks couldn't be released. The important places were all guarded by Commander-level heroes and even Extraordinary soldiers such as the Black Armor and the Silver Suit.
There was no way that they would be ambushed and annihilated by the Eagle Men before they could release the signal flares!
So, it was obvious that the Eagle Men really didn't intend to attack today.
Since nothing happened, Ji Ye didn't waste any more time.
After he returned to the fort, he sat cross-legged in his room and continued his cultivation while absorbing the Earthen Qi to recover the consumption of Distance Reduction.
After his mental power reached Rank-5, the range of the Earthen Qi that he could absorb had increased a lot. His cultivation speed wasn't slow even though he didn't stay in the Stone Milk Cave.
Ji Ye didn't stop his cultivation until it was already dawn. Because …
Dum! Dum! Dum!
Somebody knocked on the door.
"Come in!"
Ji Ye said.
"Brother Ye!"
To his surprise, the person who walked in wasn't Nie Xiaoqian, who called herself his maid and took care of his daily life these days, but Su Nongying.
At first, Su Nongying called him "Master" like Elder Jiao and the others did, but after they became familiar with each other, Su Nongying secretly changed the way she addressed him.
"What's wrong?"
However, Ji Ye didn't really care about the way he addressed her.
Instead, he noticed that Su Nongying looked rather solemn at this moment. Also, after she entered his room alone, she immediately closed the door.
Clearly, her behavior was rather unusual.
"Brother Ye, there might be spies in our territory!"
What Su Nongying said next made Ji Ye's expression change.
