I became a god by treasure hunting after arriving 500 years early-Chapter 540 - 396 "The Embryo of Ability Fusion

Chapter 540: Chapter 396 “The Embryo of Ability Fusion

“What do you think?” Guo Dafeng frowned, undecided.

Lu Yuan was silent for a moment: “Well… from a military perspective, we don’t think purely offensive fields are the best choice.”

“After all, offensive power can be replaced with firearms, but one can never have enough defense. You know it yourself, our future enemies are Catastrophe Level Anomalies, they are civilizations with malice.”

“Moreover, a field is like the icing on the cake; you can’t say that with it, you can turn the tides of battle. That’s quite unlikely.”

Of course, the above comments are limited to the human species.

“Anomaly” level fields are all fiercely powerful, a whiff of their aura could scare a person to death.

...

Like when these Great Grandmasters faced the Painted Skin, their legs went weak, not just for physiological reasons, but also because the powerful Idealist Interference weakened their superpowers.

“Got it, then I choose… a field suitable for reconnaissance, to make up for weaknesses, and to contribute to humanity.”

Guo Dafeng had his own considerations; with this field, hidden dangers like “Ant Robots” could be directly detected. Its value was much higher than offensive ability.

Lu Yuan smiled and said, “Linking four abilities is pretty tough… You have activated Cold Control, Ear and Eye Sharpness, Super Speed Response, and Extraordinary Spark, these four abilities.”

Guo Dafeng nodded, and slight ripples of idealistic energy appeared on four parts of his body.

Lu Yuan moved the very next instant!

His two hands, each holding a wooden hammer, one glowing red and the other green, gently tapped Guo Dafeng’s forehead and heart!

With a light “bang,” the lights penetrated into Guo Dafeng’s body, crazily invading along the blood vessels.

To outsiders, it’s entertainment, but the insiders see the essence. These two wooden hammers are Superior Level equipments, borrowed from Rat Artisans.

The locations struck were actually the “Upper Qiankun” and “Middle Qiankun” of the human body.

The craftsmen watching took a sharp breath, secretly amazed by the precision of this dangerous yet delicate hit.

Impossible without being in an Inspiration state.

Even the Rat Artisans were shocked, cursing under their breath, what level is this guy at now? These old fellows’ beards trembled, somewhat unable to see through him.

…

And Guo Dafeng subconsciously wanted to resist, but he was horrified to find that the energy surging into his body was shockingly intense; he was like an ant being firmly pinched, unable to move at all—what the hell, what kind of monster was he facing?!

Lu Yuan spoke in a low voice, “Activate your four abilities… Guard your mind, don’t let your thoughts wander, otherwise, if you fail, you can’t blame me.”

He concentrated, using the red and green energies to engrave some highly complex human Engravings in the other’s bones and muscles.

These Engravings were mainly for linking and storing energy, allowing the human body to accommodate more powerful Torch Power.

Only then could humans advance to Level 7, otherwise, Level 6 was already the innate limit for most species, whether it be the Upper, Middle, or Lower Qiankun, or the meridians, they were all developed to their natural limits, unable to accommodate more.

Especially the last step, concerning the connection between the body and the soul, was very difficult and extremely fragile, carelessness could easily kill a person.

Lu Yuan very carefully used the pure “Life Attribute” to imprint over a hundred tiny, special Engravings on the skull cap near the brain stem—this was the foundation of a real Great Grandmaster, if it were a normal craftsman, only in Inspiration state could they achieve all this.

After all, this was all being done inside a human body!

Guo Dafeng’s body alternated between hot and cold, and his clothes were soaked with sweat.

But as the Engravings were completed one by one, he obviously felt a sense of ease and relief.

The bottleneck that had troubled him for years began to loosen.

He felt he could soon challenge Jin Dongliang and take back the title of number one warrior in Society!

But the next second!

His soul shuddered!

Lu Yuan was organically combining his four abilities, especially the “Divine Skill” that touched upon deep soul laws.

Idealistic Ability was like a set of building blocks; some were completely contradictory, like a circle and a triangle, they just couldn’t fit together.

Forcing them could even result in death.

But some could be organically combined to produce effects greater than the sum of their parts.

Even more, there was “Ability Fusion,” that is, combining multiple lower abilities into an Upper Ability.

Therefore, a field is actually the nascent form of “Ability Fusion.”

Of course, the entire process of linking and combining was much more difficult than assembling blocks, requiring an understanding of the operation of Innate Engravings, some luck, and bold conjectures.

If it weren’t for Lu Yuan witnessing some extraordinary processes while Forging the Greedy Demon God, he would have no idea where to start!

Gradually, a strange feeling emerged in Guo Dafeng’s mind, in a brief instant, the pain vanished, as if a new “self” had emerged.

This newborn “self” expanded infinitely, in an indescribable manner, spreading to the skin surface, then… slowly extending out, extending into the air, extending to the ground…

His mind stopped working, leaving only one thought.

“So that’s how it is… ‘My’ limit is the limit of my field… I always thought I was just me, I never considered that I am also a part of this world.”

“I am this world!”

Guo Dafeng harbored this thought and closed his eyes, gradually falling asleep.

When he awoke, he found that the sun was high in the sky, and two hours had passed.

Around him, a large group of Grandmasters were eagerly looking forward with anticipation, their eyes fixed on him! Even Lu Yuan was getting a bit anxious waiting.

“How is it?”

“It seems… successful?” Guo Dafeng abruptly sat up like a carp flipping over, tumbling off the forging table.

“Cold Mist Field!”

Within a range of 300 meters in diameter, a faint layer of frost and white fog appeared, and the temperature dropped several degrees seemingly out of nowhere.

Guo Dafeng closed his eyes, and countless pieces of information emerged!

He could hear the heartbeat and breathing of everyone present.

Observe their emotions, sense their idealistic fluctuations!

Any supernatural anomaly, once it entered the field, had nowhere to hide!

This was indeed a powerful scouting ability, compensating for the shortcomings of humanity.

Then, Guo Dafeng curiously took a glance at what exactly that “Greedy Demon God” was…

He saw it…

“Ah!”

Blood sprayed from his nose, and he passed out on the spot.

It wasn’t that he had glimpsed something.

The core energy of the “Greedy Demon God” was hidden beneath its thick skin and was not so easily spied upon. The field also had values and mechanics; as long as the opponent’s values were large enough, one’s own mechanisms would be forcibly suppressed.

However, the Greedy Demon God instinctively counterattacked with a “Spiritual Spike” when spied upon, knocking him out.

“Old Guo!” The surrounding Grandmasters trembled, fearing that the entire experiment had failed.

…

Only the culprit, Lu Yuan, helplessly pinched his nose, thinking, it’s not my fault… Damn it, why did you have to spy on something?

However, the experience gained from this time was indeed quite substantial and was his first attempt in history.

“It doesn’t seem as hard as I thought, just like solving a math problem. Once unfamiliar, then familiar.”

“What should I craft for myself…”

After thinking for a while, if it’s the simplest type, just extending an Eternal Spark outward could form a persistent soul-damaging field, but Lu Yuan felt that it was just like a little toy, insignificant even if managed to create it.

Yet the few space abilities—Different Space, Storage Space, Instant Teleportation—to attempt to connect them was too difficult.

He felt like a lion trying to nibble on a hedgehog, not knowing where to start.

“Sigh, let’s accumulate some more experience. There’s no rush.”

…

Guo Dafeng was actually fine, and soon came to, excited to try again, expressing his gratitude towards Lu Yuan—of course, as to why he fainted just now, he subconsciously concealed it.

Guo Dafeng faintly felt that the power of that wooden puppet was much stronger than he had imagined…

The field turned out to be better than he expected, because the resolution was just too clear, making his brain feel somewhat insufficient.

However, the subsequent development had to rely on himself, screening out some things, or maybe adding some small features, was possible.

The other Level 6 Grandmasters turned envious, swarming up and ceaselessly pleading with Lu Yuan to help them!

Over the last hundred years, the accumulated number of Level 6 Grandmasters on humanity’s side had reached 113.

Among them, more than 90 were survivors left over from the Mandala Empire, with the rest being new generation geniuses.

There were 349 Level 5 Masters.

This also indirectly showed that over the past hundred-plus years, the martial spirit of Human 18th Civilization was thriving.

If given another hundred years, no, just fifty years, with these Level 5 Masters advancing, there would be over a hundred more Level 6 Experts!

“Comrades, don’t rush!” Lu Yuan cleared his throat, “Customizing a field may seem simple, but it actually requires detailed planning, not like tailoring clothes that can be done carelessly. I have been considering Guo Dafeng’s for over a month, planning many different approaches.”

“You need to clearly understand your own demands, it’s best to consult with the Think Tank, discuss it, and then submit a report.”

“Right, Guo Dafeng, any special insights?”

“The field… is an extension of ‘myself.’ When ‘I’ am no longer confined to the body, the Ideal Rules spread… Of course, it was under my deliberate guidance that this revelation appeared. No wonder in the past, only peerless geniuses could give birth to fields, because without seeing the answer, it’s truly hard to comprehend.”

The Grandmasters scratched their heads and looked troubled.

This was actually a very abstract concept; instead of hoping for a Sudden Enlightenment, it was more realistic to anticipate customizations from the Great Commander.
