Simultaneous Transmigration: The Re-merging of 99 Selves

Chapter 57 Re-fusion

Upon hearing this, Zhao Yu spread his hands helplessly and said, "You are me, and I am you, so naturally I won't hide anything from you. But in your current state, without even a physical body, how can I still share my abilities with you?"

"Why don't you try and see!"

Ghost Zhao Yu couldn't wait to stretch out his semi-transparent ghost hand and grab Zhao Yu's wrist.

A chilling, bone-deep coldness instantly spread from my wrist, traveling along my meridians straight to my dantian.

Zhao Yu felt a numbness all over his body. Before he could react, the ghost Zhao Yu in front of him turned into a black streak of light and crashed into his body.

Zhao Yu's body involuntarily moved forward, and the two, human and ghost, merged together like two drops of water meeting, their bodies blending together seamlessly.

In the chaotic space, in the blink of an eye, only Zhao Yu's figure remained.

Zhao Yu looked down at his hands, clenched his fists again, and muttered, "It's fused again... Sure enough, every Zhao Yu in every world is a part of the original Zhao Yu on Earth, and there's no hindrance in fusion."

He focused his mind inward, carefully sensing the changes in his body.

The true energy within his dantian remained abundant, without any increase or decrease.

The physical strength, speed, and stamina were exactly the same as before the fusion, without any improvement.

That makes sense. Ghost Zhao Yu didn't have a physical body to begin with; he was just a lonely soul. After merging with it, it was impossible for him to enhance his physical body and internal strength.

At the same time, Zhao Yu felt a sudden clarity in his mind, a refreshing feeling, and his six senses became several times more acute than before.

Originally, his Northern Darkness Divine Art was highly advanced and his internal strength was profound, making his six senses far superior to ordinary people. But at this moment, he could even faintly sense the energy flow in the chaotic space.

The fusion of their souls caused Zhao Yu's spiritual power to surge.

In addition, a flood of memories about drawing talismans, recognizing talismans, and exorcising evil spirits rushed into his mind.

The structure and incantations of the exorcism talisman, the house-protecting talisman, and the calming talisman were clearly imprinted in Zhao Yu's memory, as if he had practiced them diligently for several years.

"I see." Zhao Yu slowly opened his eyes, understanding dawning on him. "I've been a ghost for half a year, so my soul is much more refined than that of an ordinary person. I've also learned the art of drawing talismans. After the integration, my progress naturally manifests in my spiritual power."

This integration, while seemingly not enhancing Zhao Yu's overall strength, actually brought benefits far beyond what was imagined.

The martial arts of the Free and Unfettered Sect place great emphasis on comprehension. The Northern Darkness Divine Skill, the Six Yang Palms of Tianshan, and the Lesser Formless Skill all require extremely strong comprehension and talent to master.

Now that Zhao Yu's spiritual energy has surged, he will surely achieve twice the results with half the effort when cultivating these martial arts techniques in the future.

Not to mention, he also gained the ability to draw talismans to exorcise evil spirits, which is equivalent to opening the door to the supernatural system. In the future, when he encounters a world of gods and ghosts like A Chinese Ghost Story, he will not be completely clueless and powerless to fight back.

More importantly, Zhao Yu saw an even greater possibility: he could seek cultivation secrets in the world of A Chinese Ghost Story.

but……

After recalling the situation in Guobei County, Zhao Yu slowly shook his head.

Now is not the time to take risks. That world is too high-level, and there are ghosts and monsters in it. Zhao Yu is not in a position to handle it at the moment.

To go further, I need to cultivate for some more time, and perhaps merge with it again, before I can test the strength of the Tree Demon Granny.

Zhao Yu glanced around to make sure there were no other Zhao Yus in this chaotic space, and then stopped lingering.

He closed his eyes, and with a thought, his figure vanished instantly.

Lin'an City, the Prince's Training Ground.

Zhao Yu, who was leaning against the railing, slowly opened his eyes.

A hint of confusion flashed in his eyes at first, then instantly became crystal clear, and two sharp glints disappeared in a flash.

Zhao Yu blinked, quickly regaining his usual gentle demeanor, but he knew in his heart that he was completely different from the person he had been moments before.

The heightened senses brought about by the surge in his spiritual power allowed him to clearly hear the subtle whistling sound of Lin Hongyu wielding her sword dozens of feet away, and even sense the slight stagnation in the flow of her internal energy as she swung her sword.

"What are you thinking about? You seem so lost in thought."

Lin Chaoying walked over slowly and followed his gaze to Lin Hongyu, who was wielding a sword on the training ground.

She shook her head helplessly and laughed, "That girl Hongyu, I have to urge her a lot to practice martial arts, she's not serious at all. Look at those people from your Eastern Depot, they've only been practicing martial arts for a little over a month, and their sword moves are already so sharp and ruthless, she doesn't even know to learn from them."

Zhao Yu snapped out of his daze and chuckled, "Those people have lost everything and been driven to the brink of despair. They've finally grasped a glimmer of hope, so of course they'll train with all their might and risk their lives for a future."

"Hongyu is different. With you protecting her, she naturally doesn't need to risk her life to learn these fighting and killing skills. Their circumstances are different and cannot be compared."

Lin Chaoying nodded upon hearing this: "What you said is true. This girl has been with me since she was a child and has never suffered much. As for martial arts, it's enough for her to practice to the point of self-defense. I don't expect her to become a martial arts master."

The two chatted casually for a few more minutes. After watching Lin Hongyu finish practicing a set of sword techniques on the training ground, Zhao Yu said to Lin Chaoying, "I suddenly remembered that I have something to do. I'll go back to my study first. You two can practice slowly. If you need anything, just tell the servants."

"Alright, go ahead, business is important." Lin Chaoying didn't ask any further questions.

Zhao Yu turned and left the training ground, hurrying back to his study.

After closing the doors and windows to block out outside noise, Zhao Yucai walked to his desk and sat down.

He wanted to test whether the talisman-drawing techniques from another world could be used in this martial arts world.

If it works, that would be much more convenient.

Zhao Yu went to the bookshelf next to him and found a stack of fine yellow paper, a dish of ground cinnabar, and several wolf hair brushes of different sizes.

It was fortunate that after he transmigrated, he used the pretense of focusing on cultivation to deceive others.

Therefore, he never lacked these things in his study, so he didn't need to specifically instruct others to buy them.

Zhao Yu took a deep breath, focused his mind, and carefully reviewed the memories of drawing talismans in his mind.

The art of drawing talismans begins with sincerity and then with concentration. Every stroke has its own rules, and the slightest mistake will ruin the talisman.

The saying, "If you draw a talisman without knowing the trick, you'll only make ghosts and gods laugh; if you draw a talisman with the trick, you'll startle ghosts and gods," illustrates this point.

Zhao Yu first washed his hands and calmed his mind, eliminating all distracting thoughts.

This step wasn't difficult; practicing martial arts also requires a calm mind, and Zhao Yu quickly made the preparations.

Then, he picked up a wolf-hair brush, dipped it heavily in cinnabar, and held it on the yellow paper.

What he was going to draw was the most basic and most commonly used exorcism talisman.

In my mind, the structure of the exorcism talisman, the order of its strokes, and the corresponding incantation appeared with perfect clarity.

A glint flashed in Zhao Yu's eyes. He flicked his wrist, and the wolf-hair brush landed on the yellow paper. The brush moved like dragons and snakes, completing the work in one go.
