I can push my cultivation progress to the end

The knife-wielding warrior was very swift, so Li Hai didn't wait long before he had three new subordinates.

The first wielded a golden mace, his body covered in wounds with not a patch of good skin; the second held a bow and arrows, his body slender but relatively more complete; the last wielded a long halberd, with feminine features and a more petite build, only about 1.85 meters tall, but her body was the most intact.

In short, out of so many demon-subduing warriors on this vast wilderness, only these four were successfully activated, the rest were all scrapped.

And these four warriors, because Li Hai felt their numbers were not easy to call out, he gave them each new names.

The first, with the door-sized blade, Li Hai named him Blade Bro; the second, with the golden double maces, he named Mace; the third, with the bow and arrow, looking gloomy and cold, Li Hai named Arrow; the last, the female warrior with a jade face holding a long halberd, he named Fierce Girl.

“By the way, do you guys eat oil or electricity?”

Li Hai asked Blade Bro curiously, “It can't be that you live by eating noodles and rice, right?”

“Reporting, Master,” Blade Bro responded, “We use yang energy as our source.”

“Oh ~” Li Hai nodded in understanding, “Relying on basking in the sun.”

“Reporting, Master,” Blade Bro asked again, “We can use all yang energy.”

“Alright.”

Li Hai glanced around, “Then you guys, do you want to repair your bodies?”

As he spoke, he pointed to the scrapped demon-subduing warriors covering the mountains and plains.

“Master is wise,”

Blade Bro nodded in agreement, “Although these warriors are now scrapped, they are not completely broken. We can piece them together to replace all the damaged parts on our bodies.”

“Then go replace them,” Li Hai instructed, “After you're done, I'll release you from the cave.”

The warriors immediately knelt on one knee and replied, “We obey Master's command.”

After saying that, the four of them stood up and rushed in all directions, beginning to search for suitable parts from the surrounding scrapped warriors.

Li Hai then dispersed this illusory body, transferring nearly half of his mind back to the real world.

He opened his eyes, looking at the dark and dilapidated training ground around him, his thoughts shifting to the newly acquired shard of the strong:

“So, which cultivation technique should I upgrade?”

If he chose "Beast Intent Demon Claw" or "Iron Bucket Plate Bell Body," Li Hai would most likely break through the shackles of the Steel Bone realm and reach a new martial arts level.

If he chose "High-Level Yuan Breath Yang Refining Method," he might advance to a higher level of術法 than凝神出游.

If he chose "Evil Spirit Earth Yin Absorption Method" or "Red Dust Gathering Yin Method," these two ghost path techniques, Li Hai might transform into a powerful ghost beyond the level of a fierce soul.

In short, no matter which path he took, Li Hai would gain a great boost in combat power, but there was only one shard.

“Choose the martial arts route.”

After thinking for a few seconds, Li Hai made the same decision as last time—upgrading his martial arts technique.

Compared to chanting spells and performing陰邪 ghost techniques, he still preferred fist-to-fist combat, which was more enjoyable.

“So, should I choose "Beast Intent Demon Claw" or "Iron Bucket Plate Bell Body"?”

After making the decision, Li Hai turned his attention to his personal interface, preparing to upgrade the "Iron Bucket Plate Bell Body" technique.

But just as he was about to consume the shard to upgrade, that strange throbbing sensation reappeared in his mind.

“This is the precognitive ability generated by the intersection of Level 2 Wildness and Level 2 Inspiration, activated again…”

This throbbing 'told' Li Hai not to choose to upgrade the technique, but to choose to fuse techniques.

The objects to be fused were "Iron Bucket Plate Bell Body" and "Beast Intent Demon Claw."

“But, if the fusion fails, and I create some trash…”

Li Hai frowned, “Wouldn't I end up with nothing?”

At this moment, the mysterious throbbing surged out from his mind once again, and rippled with a blurry halo.

Through this wisp of fluctuation, Li Hai realized with a flash of inspiration:

“Eh? This precognitive power can actually predict at what moment to perform the technique fusion to maximize the probability of getting good stuff, it's amazing!”

After praising, he concentrated and stood still, waiting for the moment when the fusion success rate would be the highest.

Li Hai didn't know how long he would have to wait.

Half an hour, two hours, or even a day or two.

He didn't care about that.

However, after waiting blankly for two hours, Li Hai felt that he had to find something to do, otherwise… it was indeed a bit boring.

So, Li Hai began to study the pair of steel whips he had scavenged from the outpost warehouse.

This pair of bamboo-section steel whips wasn't too heavy, only about two thousand catties, not even half as heavy as Pigsy's Nine-toothed Rake.

The overall shape was thick at the back and sharp at the front, with thirteen bamboo sections embedded, its length was three feet nine inches, the handle six inches, and the whip body three feet three inches.

When Li Hai first got it, he had tried to swing it a few times.

But it didn't budge.

It should be known that with Li Hai's current strength of seventy to eighty thousand catties, ordinary iron and steel objects couldn't withstand his tossing around.

But this pair of steel whips didn't show any deformation when faced with tens of thousands of catties of force, instead, Li Hai's own hands were stinging.

From this, it could be known that this pair of steel whips was definitely a weapon comparable to a divine weapon, perhaps it was even a pair of divine weapons.

As a divine weapon, it must have extraordinary abilities.

What Li Hai wanted now was to figure out what other wonderful abilities this pair of steel whips had besides being hard enough.

This research took more than half an hour.

And just as Li Hai had completely mastered and understood the details of this pair of steel whips, and was planning to practice on this training ground, that mysterious throbbing reappeared in his mind.

Li Hai immediately understood:

“It's time for the best output moment!”

He put down the steel whips, instantly turned his attention to the personal interface, and then unhesitatingly consumed the shard of the strong, and began to fuse the techniques.

“Hmm?! It turns out that technique fusion can fuse not only two, but many!”

After learning this information from the system, Li Hai exclaimed with joy, “Good, then I will fuse all the martial arts techniques.”
