After leaving the team, the adventurer ladies regretted it deeply-Chapter 514 - : 387, Intensive training, Lin Da comprehends a new Skill Tree: [Twin Series]_2
Chapter 514: 387, Intensive training, Lin Da comprehends a new Skill Tree: [Twin Series]_2
At that moment, the three of them were blasted far away by the energy wave, which contained Fire Fighting Qi, and the floor of the dojo turned black.
They stood up, covered in dust, and regrouped.
Except for Lin Da, the other two were quite disheartened:
“We’ve tried so many times, and it’s not working at all, not even a hint of fusion!”
“My Magic Circuit hurts a bit…”
Ultimate Skills could be released only once during a fight and required at least a few hours’ interval to allow the Magic Circuit to cool down before they could be released again.
...
The method Lin Da and his team practiced for Fusion Finishing Skills was to “hold it halfway” until there was a sign of fusion between the magic and battle qi, then “let it out.” It was like urine reaching the faucet and then being sucked back.
Once or twice was fine, but after many times, it was inevitable that the pipes would hurt from the strain.
Just now, all three of them couldn’t hold it in anymore and had to release their Ultimate Skills.
Lia skeptically glared at Lin Da, “Isn’t this a waste of time? The fusion of Ultimate Skills among three people has only worked in the history of adventurers for those with a particularly good relationship and deep bonds!”
“I think our relationship is quite good?” Lin Da said seriously.
“Huh? Who wants to have a good relationship with Isa!”
“Lia, saying that will hurt my feelings.”
Objectively speaking, every time Lia was in big trouble, it was actually Isa who sympathized with her.
Lin Da propped his chin and fell into deep thought; the difficulty of fusing the three of them was much more significant than he had imagined. Lia and Isa’s battle qi characteristics were completely opposite, one ice and one fire. When they entered his body, it felt like a torment of both ice and fire, extremely uncomfortable as if he wanted to explode, comparable to the pain of an unrelenting tenfold urge to urinate.
Not to mention fusing; it was very fortunate that no one was hurt.
Today was the second day of concentrated training, and the Fusion Finishing Skills still showed no progress.
“Fusion of Rare Techniques…”
Lin Da hesitated to speak.
Isa shook her head, “Indeed, the difficulty of fusing Rare Techniques is lower than Ultimate Skills, but…”
After experiencing the match against Abner in which the three of them collaborated, Isa also mastered an Ultimate Skill named [Ice Star Split].
Very few people knew about this so far, and Lin Da guessed that if Adventurer’s Weekly found out about this, they would at least upgrade Isa’s potential rating by one star.
Isa has [Ice Star Split], while Lia has [Flaming Slash].
In contrast, Lin Da’s [Forest Dragon’s Rage Fang], although a Rare Technique, is a skill from the Magical Creature, Forest Dragon. Lin Da holding a non-native skill of his own and trying to fuse with them was as challenging as expecting a cow and a horse to produce a never-tiring worker.
“You’re really stupid.” Lia smirked, arms crossed, “We both have grasped Rare Techniques; why can’t you?”
Lin Da’s forehead vein throbbed, his fist clenched.
He had to admit that the “desire illusions” he saw in the Labyrinth of Desire truly came from his heart. If Lia really became his servant, he would undoubtedly let his stick fall mercilessly until Lia begged for mercy.
Lin Da took a deep breath to prevent himself from whipping it out right now.
He looked at the two girls, one silver and one red, both of lower ranks than himself, and suddenly had a thought. If Isa and Lia could break the “game rules,” why couldn’t he?
Was it because his thinking was confined by the “game rules”?
In the game, Rare Techniques are level 40 skills, absolutely impossible to master at level 30. Even Lin Da’s Forest Dragon’s Rage Fang was acquired through a legal method like a Skill Book.
As for Lia and Isa, in the game terms, they would be pure bugs, requiring a major patch for a complete overhaul.
“Let’s rest for a while, wait for the Magic Circuit to cool down and we can practice using Ultimate Skills again.” Lin Da took out a white cushion from his Space Ring, sat on it, and pondered.
Could he create his own unique Rare Technique using his characteristic mastery of both [Recovery Series] and [Poison Technique Series]?
Lin Da sat cross-legged in meditation, his breathing gradually slowed, and his Magic Circuit flickered rhythmically like a standby breathing light.
A while later, his consciousness sank into the spiritual world.
…
In the pitch-black night sky, hung 36 twinkling stars.
They seemed like loyal soldiers crowding around a central core that resembled an egg.
The color of the core depended on the adventurer’s attributes; Lin Da was both recovery and poison attributes, so the core displayed two colors, green on the front and purple on the back.
The two colors were distinct, like a couple in a sham marriage, living together yet unwilling to share the same bed.
Lin Da thoughtfully considered whether he could push them together, to intertwine, each containing elements of the other?
Tightly twisted hemp rope can bear more force.
Currently, the Poison Series and Recovery Series were like two parallel lines.
When Lin Da used his power, he had to constantly switch between them, which was troublesome and extremely time-consuming.
If only he could merge them together…
Lin Da felt he vaguely grasped something; if he followed it, maybe he could find the answer to why he couldn’t merge his Ultimate Skills with Lia’s—they couldn’t even merge his poison and recovery series, how could he merge with others?
It was like a baby without a fully developed kidney trying to tackle a succubus; if he didn’t fail, who would?
This research made Lin Da neglect food and sleep.
The sun rose and quickly set again.
At noon, Isa brought him a lunchbox and water.
Lin Da thanked her, hurriedly finished eating, and immersed himself back in his mental world.
…
In the afternoon.
In the dojo, Lia and Isa were sparring.
The two exchanged blows, their fiery great sword and silver rapier frequently intersecting—both fierce and beautifully graceful like dancers.
The other members of the adventure team were training downstairs while Lin Da and others were responsible for researching Ultimate Skills on this floor.
“Poison, recovery series…”
Muttering, Lin Da concentrated the two types of energy at the tips of his index fingers.
Like the repulsion between two poles of a magnet, the closer his index fingers got, the greater the resistance, with deep black sparks sputtering in between.
A dangerous aura constantly reminded Lin Da to not proceed in this way.
But a deeply mysterious inspiration lingered in his mind, making him feel if he gave up now, he might never have the chance again.
Lin Da held his breath, his eyes seeing nothing else.
The sound of Isa and Lia fighting gradually faded to the background, the world turning black and white; only the magic energy orbs leaping from his fingertips remained in Lin Da’s eyes.
“Merge for me!”
A silent shout rose from the depth of his heart, and Lin Da forced his fingertips together!
Boom!
Though Lin Da only used a small orb of power at his fingertips, the resulting explosion sounded throughout the dojo!
What was that noise?
Isa and Lia were both startled and looked uncertainly towards Lin Da.
Lia said in astonishment, “Could it be, without a rare technique, the pressure became too great, and his brain broke?”
“You should consider others when you speak,” Isa complained, giving Lia a glance.
It was mostly Lia’s comment “really stupid” that had provoked Lin Da. Lia might not have meant any harm, likely just spouting thoughtless criticism, but such comments could unintentionally hurt others.
“It’s not my fault,” said Lia, somewhat guiltily.
“Haha, hahaha!”
A loud laughter erupted.
Lin Da, as if having lost his mind, laughed loudly at his hands, tears streaming from his eyes.
“It’s over, his brain really did break! What do we do now!”
Lia rushed over and shook Lin Da’s shoulders, “Snap out of it, we’re only 6 days away from the 15th level of the Great Mystery Continent, you can’t collapse now!”
Isa said, “Lin Da, are you okay? Should I call the priest?”
“I’m fine, or rather, on the contrary, I’ve never felt better,” Lin Da replied.
Lin Da wiped the tears that had emerged from laughing, stood up with effort, and said to himself, “I should have thought of this earlier; to merge with others, I first need to fuse my two attributes.”
Snapping his fingers, a magic energy orb appeared in the void.
It was only the size of a chestnut, twinkling in the void with a profound black light, like a miniature black hole, swallowing all surrounding light.
The shape of the magic energy orb was irregular, like a cloud ravaged by a strong wind, with blurry edges constantly surging, giving off an extremely unstable yet powerful feeling.

If it were a magic energy orb of just a regular attribute, probably three such orbs combined would equal the one Lin Da had created.
