"No!"
Ji Ye did not immediately choose to learn the Seven-Sided Mantis Fist.
Instead, he first retrieved a few crossbow bolts, then brought along a few spoils of war and a piece of Anaconda meat. After walking in the hot and humid jungle for about ten minutes, he entered a cave hidden by a large rock.
This was the "cave" that Ji Ye had obtained by defeating a seventh-order black bear that had originally occupied this place half a month ago.
Some of the more threatening monsters in the surroundings had already been eliminated by him using various methods. In addition, he had specially set up a few traps and boulders that could completely block the entrance, which could guarantee a great degree of safety!
In addition to some animal fur and dried meat in the cave, what was more eye-catching were some trinkets.
For example, a bottle of yellow men's cologne, two Zippo windproof lighters, and a box of Gillette razor blades.
These items were naturally dropped by the monsters that were killed.
The men's cologne was almost meaningless.
It was not that Ji Ye liked the smell of stinky sweat, but there were too many creatures with a keen sense of smell in the jungle. If he sprinkled it on his body, it would only attract a swarm of highly poisonous Black Horned Bees.
The Zippo lighters were definitely useful, especially since one of them was a gold-plated limited edition.
As a professional wilderness survivor, Ji Ye had several ways to start a fire. Even fresh ingredients like the half an anaconda he had just obtained could be eaten raw!
As for the Gillette razor blades …
Splash!
Using the filtered water in the cave to wash off the disguise on his face, and after shaving off the slightly messy stubble, he suddenly revealed a bronze-colored face that was completely different from the fresh meat on TV. The lines were hard as if they were carefully carved, the black eyebrows were like knives, and the eyes were calm!
"Learn!"
Then, Ji Ye sat on the flat bear skin that had been laid out by the original owner of this place, holding the grayish-white ball of light from the Seven-Sided Mantis Fist in his hand.
["Skill learning begun. Experience Points: -8, -8, -8 …"]
Then, Ji Ye sat on the spot without moving, looking like a "meditative state" in a cultivation novel.
"Phew!"
It was not until a few hours later that Ji Ye opened his eyes again.
His eyes were slightly tired, but his temperament had clearly changed a lot, as if he had gone through some kind of baptism for a long time!
Although it seemed like only a few hours had passed, Ji Ye had spent hundreds of experience points to learn the Seven-Sided Mantis Fist. In his mind, he had spent several months wholeheartedly practicing this traditional martial art from Earth, thus completely mastering it.
Even his muscles, arms, and fists showed some of the characteristics of practicing the Seven-Sided Mantis Fist.
That's right. In this Land of Inheritance that had some game-like rules, the EXP obtained from killing monsters could be converted into real EXP!
Without a doubt, this was the thing that shocked him the most, yet also made him feel pleasantly surprised.
In theory, as long as one had enough EXP, anyone could master a martial art, skill, or knowledge in a short period of time.
As for the specific amount of time and EXP required, as well as the limit that could be reached, it would, of course, depend on one's own "Comprehension"!
[Seven-Sided Mantis Fist (Lesser Mastery)!]
Ji Ye's Comprehension was undoubtedly excellent. He had reached the Lesser Mastery level of the Seven-Sided Mantis Fist on his first practice.
"Moreover, although the Seven-Sided Mantis Fist is called a fist technique …
"However, to be precise, it should be a combination of the Seven-Star Steps and Mantis Fist. It even includes elbow techniques, leg techniques, grappling techniques, acupoints, and a series of other techniques.
"It was created by imitating the form and intent of a mantis. The Lesser Mastery level of the Seven-Sided Mantis Fist, coupled with my physical fitness that is more than twice that of an ordinary person, should I be able to kill an Elite Violet Jade Mantis without getting injured!"
Ji Ye felt the changes in his body and his face revealed a look of joy.
He was wondering if he should hunt some Seven-Sided Mantises to gain more EXP while the sky was still dark.
"Trial time is up!"
"Now, you can choose whether or not to return to your original world. You will appear where you were before you logged in."
"As you have completed the initial trial belonging to the human race, you will receive a talent skill!"
"According to your overall ranking in this trial, you are qualified to choose to receive an 'inheritance' talent skill. Or, you will receive a rare Perfect quality talent skill based on your performance in the trial! "
At this moment, a few pieces of information suddenly appeared in his head!
"What? I can return to Earth?"
Ji Ye was stunned when he read the contents of the message. Then, he could not help but feel excited.
In the past month or so, the survival pressure brought by the various monsters around him was actually secondary. The most important thing was the psychological unknown.
In the end, was the "logging" of the chosen one in this "Land of Inheritance" permanent? Or was it similar to the rules of a game where there was a chance to "log off"?
Now, it was obvious that it was the latter. It was undoubtedly a joyous thing!
Moreover, the reason why it had been so difficult for the past month or so was because of the trial?
Now that he had passed the trial, he could choose to receive a "talent skill"!
"Talent skill?"
After more than a month of experience, Ji Ye was much calmer than ordinary people.
Therefore, after a short period of excitement, he quickly regained his composure and did not immediately "log off".
Instead, he focused his attention on the "talent" mentioned in the last two messages.
"Rare Perfect quality or Inheritance talent. Do I have to choose between the two?"
Based on his current understanding of this "Land of Inheritance", the quality of things seemed to be unified into five levels: Normal, Refined, Excellent, Superior, and Perfect.
In addition, some special items would have the word "Rare" behind them, which meant that they were very rare and might even be unique!
Obviously, if he chose the "Rare Perfect" talent, he would definitely receive a very powerful skill. At the very least, it would definitely be much stronger than the Seven-Sided Mantis Fist he had just obtained.
This was because this famous martial art from Earth was only rated "Excellent" in the Land of Inheritance!
However, the name of the second option …
"I choose the Inheritance talent skill!"
After thinking for a while, Ji Ye made a decision decisively.
There was no other reason but because this world was called the "Land of Inheritance"!
[You have received the Inheritance talent skill — Fusion!]
"Fusion?"
Ji Ye was stunned. Then, he communicated with his "personal attributes" with his mind.
[Alignment: Human (Earth)]
[Talent: Fusion (Inheritance)]
[Level: Ordinary Rank-8 (Common)]
[Skill: Bulldozing Force (Greater Mastery), Seven-Sided Mantis Fist (Lesser Mastery)]
[Item: Bronze Bulldozer Crossbow, Purple Jade Double Saber, Mantis Stealth Cloak, Zippo Silver Windproof Lighter, Gillette Razor, Cologne …
When Ji Ye focused his attention on the talent column.
[Fusion (Talent Skill)]
[Level: Ordinary]
[Rarity: Inheritance]
[Description: You can fuse items that belong to you. You can currently fuse two Ordinary items.]
"Fuse two items that belong to me?"
The information that he could obtain in his mind was very simple.
Therefore, Ji Ye looked at the other items in the "attribute panel" and guessed what would happen after the fusion.
If the lighter was fused into the saber, would it create an "enchanted" dagger that could emit blue flames when it was slashed out?
Or would the "Bronze Crossbow and Purple Jade Saber" be some kind of compound weapon that could attack from a distance and also have close-range combat ability?
Or could it be that the cologne could be directly fused with one's own cells, so that the sweat that flowed out of one's body would smell like the cologne?
Ji Ye had to admit that his imagination was getting a little wild …
"Hmm, wait, since we're talking about items.
"Then, it shouldn't be limited to just items, right?"
Then, suddenly thinking of something, Ji Ye looked at his "Skill Pane".
Apart from the Seven-Sided Mantis Fist that he had just achieved Lesser Mastery, there was another skill — Bulldozing Force, Greater Mastery!
Like the Bronze Bulldozer Crossbow, it had the word "bulldozer" in it. Naturally, it was because the two were spoils of war from the same target.
It was a bronze-colored calf that was only about half the height of a human. However, it had the exaggerated strength to kick the head of a Rank-4 Forest Wolf that was charging at it!
It was also the first Elite-level creature that Ji Ye had encountered after entering the Land of Inheritance.
After spending a whole week, he finally managed to kill it by setting up a series of traps and baiting it with food.
As a result, he obtained the Bronze Bulldozer Crossbow in his hands, a Cell Enhancer called "Bulldozer's Strength" that could directly enhance his physical fitness, as well as the "Bulldozer's Body Tempering Force" whose name clearly did not belong to the style of Earth.
It was also because of the latter two that his physical fitness could reach the level of Ordinary Rank-8, which surpassed the sports champions on Earth!
So, what would happen if he "fused" these two techniques?
Would he be able to obtain a higher level cultivation technique, such as the legendary inner force, the mysterious true essence, or even the spirit qi of the cultivation world?
That's not impossible!
"Fusion: An ancient silver Zippo lighter and a Bronze Bulldozer Crossbow Bolt!"
However, after some consideration, Ji Ye did not directly fuse the skills. Instead, he chose two actual items.
After Ji Ye made his decision, white light rose from the Bronze Crossbow Bolt and the Zippo Windproof Lighter in his hands, turning into a ball of light similar to the spoils of war dropped by the Violet Jade Mantis.
Then, they gradually approached the center and fused with each other.
"Hmm?"
The moment the two balls of light came into contact with each other …
Ji Ye seemed to have sensed something. He suddenly closed his eyes and did not say a word.
About ten minutes later, the two balls of light completely fused into one. Then, the light dissipated, revealing the product of the "fusion."
It was a large crossbow bolt that was much larger than the previous bronze crossbow bolt. Its surface was luxurious but low-key silver, and its subtle structure was extremely complicated.
There was even a "Zippo" logo on it!
[Unnamed (Crossbow Bolt)]
[Level: Extraordinary Rank-0]
[Rarity: Superior (Rare)]
[Description: A rare composite crossbow bolt made from the fusion of a Bronze Bulldozer Bolt and an ancient silver Zippo lighter. It has a unique structure. After being fired, it will produce a unique continuous burning effect!]
"It actually became a Rare item, and its level and quality have all been improved!"
Ji Ye opened his eyes again and looked at the heavy silver crossbow bolt in his hand. There was no lack of surprise in his eyes.
Although he had never seen an attribute at the Extraordinary level before, he could imagine it.
However, it was possible that it was of a higher level than the Ordinary level!
"However, the great improvement after the fusion isn't the most surprising part."
"The greater benefit of this Fusion talent is that … I can actually clearly sense and remember every detail of the fusion process and the principle behind it."
"Theoretically, if I have the same materials and tools now, I don't need to use this skill to create this composite 'burning crossbow bolt'. In fact, if I find a similar substitute material, I'm completely confident that I can replicate it on Earth! "
The surprise in Ji Ye's eyes could not be concealed at all.
"As expected, my choice was right!"
This was definitely of great significance.
Furthermore, this was merely the fusion of a lighter and a crossbow bolt.
According to the types of things that dropped in this Land of Inheritance …
What if he obtained a high-tech pulse gun after the fusion? A gene potion that could awaken superpowers? A cultivation method that could be used for cultivation? What about a forbidden magic scroll?
However, this "inheritance" skill obviously had a "cooldown" time. After fusing this heavy crossbow, it would take about two days before he could use it again.
"Let's go back to Earth!"
