Chapter 43

When his body would be strengthened by integrating the bloodline imprints, then, would he be able to possess strength like a bear, speed like a leopard, and endurance like a horse in the future? These would all be direct improvements to his physical attributes.

As he thought, Tang San began the final skill imprint integration. This was the most important one for him. Because it was the fifth, surpassing his current tier. If he succeeded, it would mean that he had not yet reached the limit of skill integration. In a situation where he could separate them, of course, the more integrated skills, the better, for a comprehensive enhancement of himself. Even if he reached the limit in the future, he could still replace existing imprints with better skills when they became available.

With the obvious improvements to his body from the Heavy Armor Technique and Eagle Eye Technique, Tang San was already somewhat hopeful that his judgment was incorrect, and he also hoped to integrate the Lingxin Heart Eye of the Lingxin Deer Demon. The Lingxin Heart Eye seemed to enhance perception, a rather rare ability. It was even more precious than those that directly increased combat power.

However, Tang San, being a god king, had made the correct judgment.

When he tried to integrate the Lingxin Heart Eye into his Xuantian Gong, the Xuantian Gong vortex clearly felt a sense of fullness. The four imprints inside each glowed with their own light. As the light orb representing the Lingxin Heart Eye began to integrate, it immediately felt a strong repulsion, pushing it out of the circle.

Indeed, as he had guessed, each tier could only integrate one more skill, not an unlimited number of imprints.

Tang San did not feel much disappointment. Certainty was the most important to him. This was why he had absorbed three abilities to conduct the experiment. Confirming his judgment, he could then choose his future cultivation and enhancement direction.

It didn't matter if it didn't work. Take it slowly. After all, nurturing the Lingxin Deer Demon's Heart Eye ability would only waste some Xuantian Gong power, making his improvement slightly slower. After he made his judgment, he could decide which to keep and which to replace.

Just as he was about to give up on integrating the Lingxin Heart Eye, suddenly, Tang San felt one of the four imprints in his Xuantian Gong energy vortex tremble. Immediately, a suction force suddenly emanated from that imprint.

The Lingxin Heart Eye imprint, which had been repelled, paused for a moment, then was sucked in by the imprint emitting the suction force and began to slowly integrate.

This is...

Tang San instantly became tense, but it was not the kind of tension from anxiety, but from excitement.

He did not interfere with the change but focused his mind to the most concentrated state, silently observing the changes between the two imprints.

The imprint that generated the suction force was precisely the Eagle Eye skill of the White-headed Falcon Demon that had just settled in his body.

At this moment, the Eagle Eye clearly generated a suction force, as if trying to absorb the Lingxin Heart Eye and then devour it.

However, this devouring was clearly difficult. The Lingxin Heart Eye struggled violently, seemingly unwilling to be devoured by the Eagle Eye. But the Eagle Eye's determination to devour was very persistent. At the same time, Tang San immediately felt that his Xuantian Gong power began to be consumed in large quantities.

The Eagle Eye is interesting. It is absorbing my Xuantian Gong power to devour the Lingxin Heart Eye. From a tier perspective, the bloodline tier of the Lingxin Deer Demon should be above that of the White-headed Falcon Demon, so the bloodline imprint of the White-headed Falcon Demon needs Xuantian Gong power to help.

The key is, can they integrate?

The integration did not occur with the stronger Wind Blade, nor did Leopard Flash or Heavy Armor Technique show any changes. Only the Eagle Eye.

Eagle Eye to Heart Eye, does it mean that bloodline imprints can devour each other under certain conditions of common origin? Is this considered a mutation or a hybrid?

Tang San couldn't help but have some strange thoughts, but he did not try to interfere with the integration and devouring. He just observed silently, allowing the Eagle Eye to absorb as much Xuantian Gong power as it needed.

Tang San quietly cultivated his Xuantian Gong to recover his consumption.

To say the least, the Eagle Eye consumed a considerable amount. With Tang San's fourth-tier Xuantian Gong, it only took a short while for one-third of his power to be consumed. But he also noticed that one-third of the Lingxin Heart Eye's bloodline imprint had already been pulled into the Eagle Eye imprint.

The Eagle Eye's own imprint became noticeably brighter. Its tier did not seem to have increased, but it was brighter.

The Lingxin Heart Eye was originally a light green, while the Eagle Eye was a white bloodline imprint. After their integration, the Eagle Eye imprint clearly turned a light blue, and the blue became deeper, similar to the Wind Blade imprint but even brighter.

Interesting, this is really interesting.

The devouring speed gradually increased as the Eagle Eye imprint became stronger. When Tang San's Xuantian Gong power was almost two-thirds consumed, the Lingxin Heart Eye imprint finally disappeared completely, thoroughly integrating with the Eagle Eye, forming a blue-green imprint with a faint white aura on its surface.

This was clearly not just a simple devouring. The Eagle Eye not only strengthened itself but also gained some of the Lingxin Heart Eye's effects. Otherwise, the imprint's color would still be white, not such a mutation.

As Tang San quietly recovered his Xuantian Gong, he thought about the gains of the night.

Tonight was definitely a huge harvest! The most important thing was that he had figured out the limit of his skill imprints and the possibility of skill devouring and evolution, especially the latter.

Tang San, a reborn god king, although this world was new and unfamiliar to him, as long as he found some patterns, he could gradually understand the essence of this world and use his abilities to enhance himself.

Compared to obtaining new skills and some progress in Xuantian Gong, understanding the relationship between bloodline imprints and his Xuantian Gong was the most important.

With this discovery, the direction for future improvement was clear. Also, the imprinted skills were not immutable; they could be stripped at the cost of the bloodline imprint's tier.

In this world, he was the only one cultivating Xuantian Gong, so his abilities could be considered unique. With his current weakness, he would not be targeted by the plane's power. Whether he would be in the future was a problem to consider only when he broke through to the god level.

Two skills became four, and one of them was a fusion of two bloodline imprints. Without a doubt, Tang San's strength had greatly increased.

The night passed quietly. The small inn welcomed the dawn in peace.

No Flash Leopards or Wind Wolf Clan demons came, which meant that everything that happened yesterday had passed. As for what happened after the collision competition, it was not something Wang Yanfeng, Gui Gui, and Tang San needed to worry about.

In the early morning, just as the sky was beginning to lighten, Tang San woke up from his meditation. This was his daily cultivation habit.

He pushed open the window, focused his gaze on the first hint of dawn at the horizon, and circulated his Xuantian Gong. The moment the sun rose each morning, bringing the purple aura, was the best time for him to cultivate the Purple Extreme Devil's Eye.

A faint purple hue appeared in his eyes, and suddenly, Tang San's pupils contracted. He was surprised to find that his vision seemed to be magnified, as if the horizon had been pulled closer.

At that moment, the faint purple hue at the horizon appeared, marking the arrival of the purple aura from the east.
