Super Fusion

Chapter 50: Wherever I go

"Father, Zhongzhi, what's wrong?" Seeing the change in their expressions, Lin Zhongze was startled and followed their gaze suspiciously, but he couldn't guess what could be inside that villa.

"Nothing, you can all go back. Remember, no one is to tell anyone about what happened today!" With Lin Zhongze's words, Lin Yan took a deep breath and said decisively.

He really couldn't believe that Xu Yu had actually mastered the Void Step technique!

Wasn't she a cultivator? Also, even a peerless genius in martial arts couldn't possibly grasp the essence so quickly after only seeing a manual once, let alone use it in modern society.

But in fact, the earthquake had indeed occurred, and it only happened in the Lin family compound. Even though the amplitude was pitifully weak, Lin Yan couldn't think of any other possibility besides the Void Step technique!

With his words, although the Lin family members were also extremely shocked and surprised, no one dared to disobey Lin Yan's words and immediately turned around and rushed to other places.

Only Lin Yan, Lin Zhongzhi, and Lin Zhongze remained. Two of them stared at the villa in horror and disbelief, while Lin Zhongze was completely bewildered and confused.

"Father, what if he continues cultivating and causes more earthquakes? Should we warn him?" Only then did Lin Zhongzhi manage to suppress his trembling, a chill running down his spine.

"It shouldn't happen. Just now, he gathered and exhausted all the spiritual energy in the vicinity. It will take at least several hours to recover," Lin Yan said, shaking his head despite his own shock.

This conversation completely stunned Lin Zhongze, who was still bewildered and confused. A huge wave of shock surged through his mind. What? Did they mean that the strange earthquake at the Lin family's residence was caused by someone cultivating?

Good heavens, in modern society, is it possible for human cultivation to cause such a terrifying natural disaster as an earthquake?

Despite the tremors, looking at the expressions of Lin Yan and the other man beside him, Lin Zhongze dared not doubt that it was real. For some reason, a figure flashed through his mind: Xu Yu!

Could it really be that young man inside that villa?! If so, that young man was far too terrifying. Could he simply bring earthquakes wherever he wanted? This…this was simply too horrifying. …

Inside

the villa, Xu Yu, who had just emerged from the secret manual's space, also let out a sigh of relief. A light but not heavy feeling of fatigue welled up within him.

He had no idea that the fusion he had just performed had caused an earthquake within the Lin family, terrifying many of them. He only knew that this fusion of the Void Stepping Technique had consumed an astonishing amount of spiritual energy; every step he took consumed a portion of his spiritual energy.

In the short time just now, the eight portions of spiritual energy he had fused had been reduced to only three.

This was because, during his learning process, as he moved within the secret manual's space, he also became aware of his surroundings, thus avoiding being quickly buried by the terrifying power of the landslide. Otherwise, he wouldn't have even been able to withstand the opponent's fourth step.

However, these five short steps were worthwhile.

Because he finally discovered that, in the final stages of the Void Stepping Technique, each step was actually the same; the only difference was the increasing power and difficulty.

It's like a person starting from a standstill, then accelerating to walking, and finally running—the method of power generation is the same. The only difference is that you have to involve the surrounding environment, the earth, to start, accelerate, and run together.

After the fifth step, he couldn't continue. The key was that his own power was too small and too weak. At the fifth step, the immense pressure from the surrounding environment almost burst his body. He had a feeling that if he continued to force himself forward, he might be annihilated by the transmitted earth power.

Therefore, he hurriedly stopped and left the secret manual's space.

What he didn't know was that the pain transmitted by the power of the earth actually emanated from his body. After all, just now, his body had genuinely been performing the Void Stepping Technique. Fortunately, in modern society, the spiritual energy of heaven and earth had long since become shockingly thin, and the earth power he could generate was pitifully weak. Otherwise, even at the fifth step, the practice within the secret manual's space would have already resulted in an apocalyptic scene of mountains collapsing and the earth splitting, burying everything. But the tremors he caused only caused trees and houses to sway slightly within a few hundred meters. With

his cultivation level, which had just entered the mid-stage of Body Refinement, if he were in a place with abundant spiritual energy, he probably wouldn't have been able to take even two steps, let alone five. What

he didn't notice was that his energy, which originally stood at 20, had dropped to 15 in just five steps.

Martial artists inevitably expend their physical strength and internal energy when unleashing powerful techniques. For example, when Lin Yan demonstrated different martial arts techniques for him not long ago, he appeared somewhat tired at the end. That was simply because different levels of martial arts techniques have different consumption levels. Xu Yu was no exception. When using the Void Stepping Technique, not only did each step consume a portion of spiritual energy, but his physical energy was also rapidly declining.

After letting out a sigh of relief, Xu Yu pondered for a moment before suddenly turning to the next page of the Void Stepping Technique.

On this second page, a lifelike figure was still depicted. Following his previous thoughts, Xu Yu once again suddenly delved into this strange world.

He then discovered that the world on the second page was still a peaceful and tranquil valley.

At the end of the valley, a blurry figure suddenly appeared. After this figure stepped in, the entire valley shook again, but the amplitude of the shaking was much smaller.

However, when the figure completely "came to life" the entire valley and made it move...

After taking another step, he suddenly appeared in front of Xu Yu. Then, with another step, he reappeared eerily on the far left of the valley…

In an instant, the figure's illusory form was like a floating ghost, flickering and disappearing within the slightly swaying valley, its trajectory impossible to pinpoint.

A strange thought flashed through Xu Yu's mind: Shrinking the earth to an inch? Under the figure's manipulation, this entire valley, whether ten meters, a hundred meters, or a thousand meters, was as easily traversed as a single step, allowing the figure to move freely.

Just as he was filled with doubt and surprise, the figure took another step, appearing in front of him once more. Then, with a sudden movement, he raised his right arm and attacked Xu Yu directly.

The instant the hand was raised, the entire surrounding world trembled violently, as if the entire valley had been lifted with that single arm movement, gathering all its power into that right arm, which then crashed down upon Xu Yu with a deafening roar.

"Bang!"

After the attack, Xu Yu's vision went black, and when he regained consciousness, he found himself tumbling out of the dense space once more.

Even now, the terrifying attack still lingered in his mind, echoing for a long time.

That attack had gathered the power of an entire landmass, unleashing its full force. How much power did that vast valley possess after it "came alive"?

Just thinking about it filled Xu Yu with horror. A sudden realization dawned on him: the Void Step was the foundation for integrating oneself into the environment. Only with this foundation could one become one with the surrounding earth and utilize its power to unleash offensive techniques!

No wonder Lin Yan said that in ancient times, if someone mastered the essence of a Heavenly Profound-level martial art, even someone only at the Body Cultivation stage might be able to challenge a Spirit Transformation stage expert.

However, this time, he didn't directly use his spiritual energy to fuse the second form. After all, the previous Void Step had consumed five parts of his spiritual energy, leaving him feeling somewhat tired. Now, he only had three parts left, and he wasn't sure if he could learn the second form.

Moreover, the Void Step technique had several more pages; if he continued learning like this, his current spiritual energy would be far from sufficient.

So, after careful consideration, Xu Yu directly turned to the third page. Unable to learn everything at once, he might as well see what terrifying techniques lay ahead.

But to his surprise, when he turned to the third page and looked at the embroidered figures, he found that this time, no matter how he looked, he could no longer enter that strange world.

"Huh?" Xu Yu was slightly taken aback before looking at the annotations beside him.

Even though he didn't recognize most of these ancient traditional characters, he still managed to decipher them after a long while before confirming that the first line of the third page read: "Remember, those who are not at the Spirit Transformation stage should not force themselves to comprehend it, otherwise..."
