Chapter 468: Chapter 172: Skill Fusion, Green Grass Physique!

The resilience of wild grass, the majesty of the waves, could be so vividly displayed on the pages.

At this moment, a thin purple light extended from the top of the wild grass on the left side, precisely connecting to the waves on the right.

The next second, a prompt window slowly appeared:

[Reconstruction Object: Wild Grass Physique (Level 3; Rare), Water Wave Physique (Level 3; Rare)]

[Both skills detected at rare level, guaranteed fusion level: Rare]

[Basic consumption for fusion: 50% charging value]

[Special Note: Fusion cannot be canceled once started. Additional charging value can be added (each 50% charging value = 1 random direction mutation)]

[Do you confirm the fusion?]

...

Adding charging value for mutation is obviously a bottomless pit.

Once you have this idea, it will always be random, and you’ll never be satisfied.

Before finding the optimal solution, Cheng Ye is not greedy. His core purpose is very clear: to fuse skills to save skill bar space.

"Confirm fusion!"

As the thought settled, all prompt windows instantly disappeared, and the charging value at the top right corner of the panel plunged from 56% to 6%, as if being drained.

Soon after, the scene on the paper began to change dramatically.

The area representing Wild Grass Physique on the left suddenly exploded with clusters of emerald green halos. The green light, with its strong aggressiveness, spread towards the right like rampant vines, as if it wanted to tear away the power of the waves to replenish itself.

Meanwhile, Water Wave Physique on the right wasn’t to be outdone. The once peaceful sea surface suddenly surged, and blue halos burst forth mightily, with waves soaring into the sky, carrying the momentum to destroy everything, rushing towards the green light on the left.

"Damn, is this fusion going to start a fight?"

A sense of indescribable oppression instantly enveloped Cheng Ye, and as he blinked, he suddenly felt as if he were standing on a vast land, witnessing two prehistoric giants fighting.

The wild grass shot up, growing into a gigantic plant ten thousand meters high, with roots like coiled dragons digging into the earth.

The waves turned into a sky-covering flood peak, each slap carrying the rumble that shook the heavens and the earth.

The two forces collided, tore at each other, with green and blue lights weaving into a chaotic sea of light, even making the air seem to tremble.

Fortunately, this struggle did not last long.

Over ten seconds later, the purple light connecting the two suddenly began to tilt towards the direction of the wild grass, as if guided by an invisible force.

The fury of the waves gradually subsided, the towering waves slowly fell back, eventually turning into gentle water flows that condensed into rained clouds suspended above the immense wild grass, softly sprinkling down raindrops.

Initially, it was a pattering drizzle, nourishing the wild grass leaves.

Midway, it suddenly turned into a storm, rain the size of beans pounded on the grass stems, yet caused no damage, instead making the green of the wild grass more vibrant.

Finally, the rain slowly diminished, returning to the initial patter.

Under the constant nourishment of rain, the enormously tall wild grass began visibly shrinking, with its roots retracting into the soil, leaves closing up, and eventually returning to the size on the paper page.

But this time, the scene in the picture had changed.

Where previously only a single tender shoot had emerged, the wild grass grew madly, quickly spreading into a small "wild grass carpet," with layers of lush green leaves full of vitality.

More peculiarly, the surface of each piece of wild grass had strange patterns, half entangled with deep green vines, the other half with flowing light blue water ripples.

The two colors were clearly separated down the leaf center, yet perfectly blended along the leaf veins, not at all abrupt, but existing in a harmonious symbiosis.

The next second, all anomalies on the page vanished abruptly, leaving only a blank sheet.

Immediately after, lines of deep purple text appeared at the center of the panel:

[Collector’s current charging value detected insufficient, ’random mutation’ mechanism cannot be triggered]

[This information fusion process has been completed, fusion result stabilized]

[Civilization Collector has successfully recorded new fusion skill: Green Grass Physique (Level 3; Rare)]

"Succeeded?"

A flash of surprise crossed Cheng Ye’s eyes.

Perhaps because Wild Grass Physique is derived from Jiang Chuan’s Cloud Grass Physique, its essence is a higher Perfect Level.

The primary and secondary in the fusion were evidently occupied by Wild Grass Physique, and the final result also retained the plant characteristics.

At this moment, opening Green Grass Physique details shows a changed description.

[Green Grass Physique (Level 3; Rare; Slightly increases life force)]

"After fusion, the previous moderate enhancement from both turned into slight enhancement instead?"

The description also became vaguely about life force, making it temporarily unclear to Cheng Ye what the new orientation was.

But whatever the changes are, testing it out will make it known.

"Equip, Green Grass Physique!"

With that command.

The empty spot in the Skill Bar flickered slightly, deep purple brilliance replaced the empty position.

The words "Green Grass Physique" leapt into it.

Buzz!

Unlike the previous immediate surge of energy when equipping a skill.

This time, it started with a fine tingling spreading from the Baihui acupoint at the top of the head, followed by a sensation of bones and meridians being gently stretched and expanded, as if making room for new forces.

Cheng Ye couldn’t help but let out a muffled groan.

Yet having experienced the Heart-Protecting Fire illusion before, he has now significantly increased his endurance.

In just a brief dizzy moment, the scene before his eyes completely changed.

Beneath his feet was no longer cold flooring but moist and soft soil, with roots frantically extending along the soil crevices, greedily driving deeper into the ground.

The air was rich with the scent of morning dew and grass, and he looked down to see his torso transformed into a green stem, growing upward in segments, swaying towards an invisible wind.
