Super Fusion

Chapter 43: Breaking Through the

"Merged second-grade spiritual energy, 1, use?"

Just as Xu Yu was slightly distracted by the overly magnificent second-grade spiritual energy, a new thought arose in his mind again. Receiving this thought, he suddenly came to his senses.

Use?

When this ability first appeared in him, he was still somewhat cautious about using spiritual energy. However, now he had a general understanding of it. The effects of first-grade spiritual energy were almost all terrifying.

So, what special abilities did the current second-grade spiritual energy have?

"The original nine parts of first-grade spiritual energy were fused to create one part of second-grade spiritual energy. Although no energy was consumed during the fusion, in fact, creating nine parts of first-grade spiritual energy consumed nine parts of energy..."

With slight doubt, Xu Yu pondered for a moment and then tentatively issued the command to fuse it into himself.

This was truly just a test. After all, he already knew his energy had reached its limit and he couldn't continue fusing. It was only because the newly emerged second-grade spiritual energy had a significant difference from first-grade that he wanted to try it out. However, he didn't expect that after the thought flashed through

his mind, the second-grade spiritual energy vanished instantly. At the same time, a sharp pain erupted within his body.

This pain was far beyond the slight tingling, numbness, and itching he felt when fusing first-grade spiritual energy; it was so intense that even Xu Yu, in his current state, felt his veins bulge and his face flush with pain, his hands clenching tightly together.

But almost simultaneously, an aura of breakthrough surged from within him.

The bottleneck of the early stage of cultivation was instantly shattered by the impact of the second-grade spiritual energy!

This was the true effect of high-grade spiritual energy—breaking through the bottleneck!

Take Lin Yan, for example. He's an ordinary martial artist who has always lived in a world lacking in spiritual energy. His cultivation from the beginning relied entirely on extremely scarce spiritual energy, which is why he desperately hopes to obtain richer spiritual energy to aid his breakthrough. Otherwise, he wouldn't have felt such immense anticipation beyond his awe and gratitude towards Xu Yu.

Or, to put it another way, second-grade spiritual energy is essentially first-grade spiritual energy; it undergoes a qualitative change when its concentration reaches a certain level, thus its effects are significantly enhanced.

To give a simple example, consider the jade pendant in Xu Yu's hand. Initially, when he fused with first-grade spiritual energy, almost every unit could withstand a bullet. However, as he continued to fuse with it, he inevitably encountered a bottleneck in the pendant's design. Even though each fusion of spiritual energy changed the pendant's quality, it eventually reached a point where it could no longer change or accommodate more spiritual energy.

But second-grade spiritual energy can directly break through that bottleneck, elevating the pendant's grade.

If before it could only be considered a rudimentary form of a magic weapon, then after reaching its bottleneck and continuing to fuse with second-grade spiritual energy, it was essentially comparable to a truly inferior magic weapon!

Under intense pain, Xu Yu endured for several minutes. With a series of cracking sounds from his bones, the effects of the second-grade spiritual energy were finally perfectly fused with him, without a single wasted drop.

The breakthrough aura emanating from his body gradually dissipated.

When Xu Yu suddenly wiped away the beads of sweat streaming down his face, he realized that his energy value had indeed crossed the 27 threshold, transforming into 28.

Of course, this was mainly due to his breakthrough of the bottleneck; otherwise, the qualitative change effect of second-grade spiritual energy, equivalent to nine-tenths of first-grade spiritual energy compressed and gathered, could never have increased his energy by only 1 point.

But regardless, Xu Yu's joy at this moment was impossible to conceal.

"So, 27 wasn't the limit, just a bottleneck. It seems nine times the physical strength is far from the limit either. No wonder Lin Zhongzhi's aura was so much stronger than mine last time..."

A thought flashed through Xu Yu's mind. He fused another portion of first-grade spiritual energy, tentatively trying to integrate it into himself.

Now that he had broken through the limit, he wondered if his body could still accommodate first-grade spiritual energy. If it could only accommodate second-grade, that wouldn't be ideal. Second-grade spiritual energy required him to expend 9 units of energy to generate, and 9 units of energy required him to sleep for 24 hours to recover.

After this initial test, Xu Yu immediately discovered that the new spiritual energy was absorbed by his body without any obstacles.

"I can use it. From now on, my usual improvements will only consume first-grade spiritual energy. I'll only create second-grade spiritual energy to break through when I encounter a bottleneck."

A surge of joy welled up in his eyes again. Xu Yu suppressed his excitement but began to ponder. Since 27 units of energy was far from the human body's limit, how exactly was this aspect differentiated?

Furthermore, the martial arts technique Lin Dongjie displayed last time could even make his hands as hard as metal. He was indeed very puzzled by these things and wanted to understand them thoroughly.

However, figuring these things out wasn't something he could achieve by simply thinking about them; it seemed only the Lin family could provide the most accurate answers. After

much thought, Xu Yu decided to stop rushing. Since the Lin family had invited him the first time, and that invitation had ended abruptly, a second invitation was unlikely to be far off.

"It should be in the next few days. I can ask them more questions when they come," he thought. After some further thought, Xu Yu finally relaxed and went to sleep.

After all, he had already expended five units of energy, and this sleep would keep him awake until nearly noon the next day.

And indeed, things went as he expected. The next day at noon, a black Mercedes smoothly drove along the streets of the city village and pulled up to his residence.

A sprightly old man stepped out of the car and looked up.

"Dad, Mr. Xu lives on the seventh floor." As the old man stood steadily, Lin Zhongzhi, whose arm was in a cast, quickly arrived at Lin Yan's side and spoke.

"I sent Zhongze to test him once, and it seems to have been the right thing to do. He doesn't seem to mind Dongjie's offense last time. Hopefully, we can persuade him this time." Standing there quietly, Lin Yan felt a surge of excitement. After all, he had never actually met Xu Yu before. The thought of soon meeting the legendary cultivator, who might possess the ability to gather spiritual energy—which was crucial for breaking through his current late-stage cultivation and extending his lifespan—was incredibly

exciting .

So, after the incident two days ago subsided, and since it was the weekend, and Xu Yu was likely on vacation, Lin Yan and his father rushed here. Of course, they didn't dare arrive too early, lest they disturb Xu Yu's rest.

Lin Yan didn't expect Xu Yu to directly help him during their first meeting. In his mind, simply having a friendly exchange would be a huge blessing.
