High Martial Arts Start with Ant Talent Fusion

With the war over, Jianghai City entered a period of stability, and everything is moving in a positive direction.

[Ding! System upgrade successful!]

At that moment, Fang Fan, who was cultivating, was startled awake by a voice that suddenly rang in his mind. He slowly opened his eyes, and a sharp glint flashed in them.

Three days have passed, and the feeding system upgrade is complete.

[Host: Fang Fan]

[Fusion Talent]

[1000x Power (Current progress 100%, next stage 10,000x Power)]

[Advanced Dynamic Vision (Next stage: One-Star)]

[Intermediate Super Self-Healing (Next stage is Advanced)]

[Indestructible Body (Advanced) (Next stage is one star).]

[Feeding Value: -3240000]

Fang Fan, who was in a good mood, plummeted to the bottom the moment he saw the feeding value. Damn it, the feeding value is the most important thing in the world.

When will I ever be able to pay off these three million yuan in breeding costs?

"Um?"

"Wait a minute, I remember I owed over four million before the system shut down?"

It wasn't that Fang Fan insisted on paying back more, but rather that he needed to figure out what was going on. Fang Fan opened the system notification, and a bunch of messages popped up.

Fang Fan instantly realized that Yan Tu and the other insects he raised had been killing monsters for the past few days, earning a lot of feeding points to make up for some of their debts.

Now Yan Tu has arrived at a human city, where he has killed many demonic beasts and become famous in one battle.

It seems that even during system upgrades, they still value the feeding value so much; they haven't forgotten about collecting debts at all.

"System, what changes have occurred after the upgrade?"

"Let me see if I'll get a surprise."

Fang Fan said that after the system is upgraded, it should become more powerful and its effect on him will be enhanced.

[Given the host's increased strength, three additional opportunities to fuse talents are granted.]

[Reward: One instance of mimicry.]

[New System Feature Unlocked: Talent Fusion]

These three simple sentences delighted Fang Fan. This system upgrade had indeed given him a big surprise, as he had three chances to fuse his talents.

Although Fang Fan had already guessed this, since the opportunity to fuse with the talent was based on his physical attributes, his body after fusing with the Indestructible Body was now completely different from before.

And three opportunities would allow him to make a significant improvement in his abilities.

In the end, Fang Fan focused his attention on the last sentence: the newly activated fusion function.

"What does this talent fusion mean?"

[Please explore on your own until the feeding costs are paid off.]

Fang Fan was stunned when he heard the system's voice. When he realized what was happening, he immediately wanted to curse, "You're just a system, do you have to be so snobbish?"

It's just that they owe you a few million in feeding costs, and your attitude has completely changed.

Is this really necessary?

"You...are very good!"

In the end, Fang Fan had no choice, since he really couldn't come up with those millions of breeding points in a short time. However, looking at the name of the function, Fang Fan could roughly understand what it did.

Talent fusion should refer to the fusion of talents.

But how exactly is it used?

Fang Fan slowly closed his eyes, and four orbs of light appeared in front of him, each emitting a different glow. Among them, the yellow one was the largest and brightest.

When Fang Fan focused his attention on the golden ball of light, he knew that this was the indestructible physique talent.

As expected of a king-level talent, he is indeed very strong.

From left to right, the smallest is red, the middle is blue and green, and the largest is yellow.

These correspond to Strength Talent, Dynamic Strength Talent, Self-Healing Talent, and Indestructible Body Talent, respectively.

It seems that the talent level of the Wangcai power I fused with is the lowest.

In fact, Fang Fan had previously wondered if his talent for fusing with the power of ants could continue to advance—by a hundredfold, a thousandfold, ten thousandfold, a hundred thousandfold...

However, the system's answer was no.

Because ants have limited talent, belonging to the ordinary level, the highest it can achieve is only ten thousand times!

Even if you keep increasing the ants' level by feeding them, it's useless.

Furthermore, the system had previously stated that there is a limit to how much an insect with ordinary talent can improve its strength. If it were to use feeding points to further increase its strength after reaching the limit, it would lead to physical collapse.

As for what level this limit is, the system did not specify.

The hundredfold power that originally brought Fang Fan hope has now become the lowest level within his body, and to be honest, Fang Fan is still somewhat unwilling.

Once a talent is fused, it cannot be discarded. If one wants to fuse another power talent, it would likely waste another fusion talent opportunity.

Therefore, Fang Fan saw in this new feature the hope that ordinary talents could continue.

Perhaps, this feature will bring unexpected changes to Fang Fan.

Fusion...

Fang Fan slowly focused his attention on the red light, and as time passed, a voice suddenly rang in his mind.

[Have you confirmed the merging targets?]

Upon hearing this, Fang Fan became somewhat excited, knowing that he had not guessed wrong, and said in a deep voice.

"Sure!"

As Fang Fan's voice rang out, the red light suddenly intensified, and then a huge outline appeared in Fang Fan's eyes, with the red light in the very center and a slightly smaller one on the right, which was blank.

[The Thousandfold Power has been confirmed as the main fusion element. Please select the talent to integrate.]

Suddenly, a plus sign appeared above the other three orbs of light, indicating that a selection was being made.

Fang Fan tentatively chose the blue light cluster next to him.

[Their talents are different and cannot be combined!]

Forehead......

Fang Fan then chose the self-healing talent on the side.

[Their talents are different and cannot be combined!]

Fang Fan was still unwilling to give up; that indestructible body should be close enough, right?

Sorry, the talents are different and cannot be combined!

Fang Fan's expression was rather unpleasant; he strongly suspected that he had been manipulated by the system.

But in the blink of an eye, Fang Fan remembered that when he fused with the Palawan Giant Stag Beetle King's talent, one of the talents was Mighty Strength, and he clearly remembered what the effect of Mighty Strength Enhancement was.

Unconditionally increase your physical strength tenfold.

Currently, my strength is a thousand times that of my innate talent. After my body merges with this talent, my physical strength will become ten thousand times.

However, after fusing this talent, he would waste a fusion opportunity, so Fang Fan did not choose to enhance his strength, but instead chose the indestructible body.

Now, it seems there is a function that can enhance power without wasting fusion opportunities.

"System, select Super Strength Enhancement."

Fang Fan's voice rang out.

[Same attributes, confirm?]

"Sure!"

As soon as Fang Fan finished speaking, he regretted it. He was too impatient. The Thousandfold Strength talent could be upgraded again to reach 10,000 times. If he fused with the Super Strength talent at that time, wouldn't it directly reach 100,000 times!

At that time, not only will their strength be greatly enhanced, but it may also raise the limits of their power talent, allowing them to develop further.

[The two have different talent levels, so it cannot be confirmed.]

Upon hearing the system's words, Fang Fan was dumbfounded. Should he be grateful, or should he say that the system was a bit of a trap? Why was fusing talents so troublesome?
