Chapter 170: Fusion: Jade Dragon Sword

“Fusion!”

In his room in the Twin Dragon Mount fort, Ji Ye was sitting cross-legged on the ground, with an item in each hand.

In one of his hands was the broken Black Serpent Sword, except that the two parts of the sword had been somehow glued together, and that it had absorbed some blood.

In his other hand was a white sword container to which a vintage sword talisman was stuck.

Of course, there was a sword in the sword container.

The sword in it was none other than the White Jade Flying Sword from the Battlefield of Providence!

Swoosh! Swoosh!

As Ji Ye spoke, the two items in his hands both released the white glow of fusion.

Ten minutes later, the glow was gone, and the sword container didn’t change much.

The Sword Breeding Talisman from Yan Chixia was still stuck to it, except that it seemed dimmer than before.

However, the Black Serpent Sword in his other hand had turned into a new sword that was about 1.4 meters long and appeared as if it were the best white jade!

[Untitled]

[Level: Extraordinary Rank-5]

[Rarity: Superior]

[Description: This is a weapon that is the fusion of the Black Serpent Sword and the White Jade Flying Sword. It has been through a qualitative change due to the Flood Dragon Blood in it. Note that it isn’t as simple as it seems!]

Hum!

Ji Ye opened his eyes without the slightest tiredness.

Whoosh!

The sword that was slightly shorter and thicker than before flew to midair from his hand.

It turned into a white streak of light and quickly circled in the room.

Hum!

Then, it quickly turned around and darted right at the center of Ji Ye’s forehead!

Pa!

Ji Ye extended his hand that was covered in yellow light and grasped the sword!

Clang!

After Ji Ye gripped the sword and froze it, the sword glowed in red, and a smaller sword that was about one foot long and completely transparent flew out and went right at Ji Ye’s forehead!

However, the short sword didn’t hit Ji Ye, because Ji Ye had drawn out a scarlet thin sword from the jade white sword and blocked the transparent sword’s trajectory!

Clang!

However, the transparent sword had a shocking blast.

Even though it was slightly deviated by the scarlet sword, it still hit the yellow light on one side of Ji Ye’s head, cutting off a piece of the yellow light, before it flew on and stabbed into the wall of Ji Ye’s room.

“Not bad. If the sword is kept for some time with the Flood Dragon Blood, it can launch an Extraordinary Rank-7 attack when it’s used for the first time!”

Ji Ye nodded in satisfaction after the test.

Then, he put both the scarlet sword and the transparent sword into the first white sword. On the surface, they looked like one sword.

However, if one were to observe carefully, they would notice a red mark on the white jade sword that was similar to the Sword Breeding Talisman on the sword container nearby.

The fusion just now was technically a sixfold one!

The elements to be fused included the two parts of the Black Serpent Sword, the Flood Dragon Blood released by the Black Serpent Sword, the sword container, the Sword Breeding Talisman, and the White Jade Flying Sword in it.

Ji Ye had long discovered that there was a loophole in his talent that he could take advantage of.

As long as two items could each be considered as a whole, they would be able to be fused at once.

This fusion was actually his attempt. Instead of completely fusing the two items, he purposefully crafted this special combination of swords.

After the Black Serpent Sword, which had experienced some qualitative changes after melting the Flood Dragon Blood, was sheathed in the White Jade Flying Sword, it could fly even when there was no water around.

Also, the transparent one-foot short sword that was hidden at the tip of the sword could launch an unexpected attack under certain circumstances.

Ji Ye had learned that lesson from the Topaz Pipa, which was a musical instrument that had a sword hidden in it.

He didn’t mind being remarked as “cunning” for this weapon on the Battlefield of Providence.

After all, the Land of Inheritance was a place where honor and integrity were absolutely pointless.

If he cared about that, he wouldn’t have controlled the young Eagle Men to block arrows for the soldiers of the Dragon Tooth Battalion.

The only thing that was slightly regretful was that this sword wasn’t rated as “Perfect”.

After all, he had fused too many items, and he had tried to intervene with the fusion. It was only natural that the sword wasn’t Perfect!

“Let’s see how it works on the battlefield and then decide if it should be fused again... It seems inappropriate to call it ‘Black Serpent’ now. Let’s call you ‘Jade Dragon Sword’!”

...

After fusing the swords, Ji Ye walked out of his room to the Temple of Providence nearby.

“Master! Master!”

Outside of the Temple of Providence, many natives of this place, mostly women and children, were waiting. They all bowed and paid respect to Ji Ye upon seeing him.

It had been two days since they fought the Eagle Men.

At this point, the population of the Twin Dragon Mount fort had been restored to that before the battle, because the Temple of Providence had been having rituals nonstop during these two days.

“Master!

When Ji Ye reached the Temple of Providence, an elite soldier of the Dragon Tooth Battalion, who defeated an illusion Eagle Man that was projected by one of the spoils, turned from a shadow into a real entity. He looked around and bowed at Ji Ye in delight.

“You were fearless of death in the battle. You are a real man. Go to Chief Ruan and claim your reward. Also, your children will be entitled to a portion of the Sweet Dew!”

Ji Ye nodded at the Extraordinary soldier of the Dragon Tooth Battalion and praised him.

“Thank you, Master!”

“Ah Lian, I’m back. Look, I already told you that the battle wasn’t dangerous at all... Hey, don’t cry!”

The soldier of the Dragon Tooth Battalion strode out of the temple, put a child next to a woman on his neck, and comforted them, while some people outside looked at him with happiness and some with disappointment.

The fort had received not just the Rank-5 Souls of Civilization but also Rank-4 and even lower ones, which were used to summon the relatives of the soldiers who had been summoned.

“How many have we resurrected?”

Ji Ye, on the other hand, asked Su Nongying who was working in the temple.

“Well, he is the 15th!” Su Nongying replied.

In the battle against the Eagle Men, the Twin Dragon Mount fort, with weapons such as guns and cannons and the super-capable heroes such as Gongsun Sheng, Wu Song, and Yang Zhi, secured the final victory.

But they had suffered a greater loss than they anticipated. Almost a hundred soldiers died. Even some of the special soldiers in the Black Armor Soldiers, the Silver Suit Guards, and the Dragon Tooth Battalion were killed too.

After all, it was human beings who initiated the attack on the Eagle Men’s settlement, and the Eagle Men, who controlled the resources of three alien settlements, weren’t easy to deal with.

Fortunately, there was a chance for the dead soldiers to be revived!

The reward for the completion of the Ten-Species Competition quest was certainly more than the Stones of Civilization for individuals.

The Twin Dragon Mount fort had been rewarded too, with an Extraordinary Rank-6 Commander-level Soul of Civilization, two Extraordinary Rank-4 Quasi-Commander Souls of Civilization, and ten Extraordinary Rank-2 Elite Souls of Civilization.

In addition, it was possible to summon the people who died during the quest with the Souls of Civilization and bring them back to life.

That was undoubtedly very important.

It meant that as long as one settlement secured continuous victories, the natives of that settlement would be as “immortal” as the players.

That could stimulate the natives to fight bravely in battles and remain loyal to their settlement. But there were still restrictions. Those who were resurrected were all natives who had some Honor, and they were all resurrected in the order of the amount of their Honor points!

For example, this elite soldier of the Dragon Tooth Battalion killed more than five Eagle Men on his own when he resisted the Eagle Men’s counterattack.

While his Honor was reset after the resurrection, it was still much better than losing all his memories and being reborn in another settlement.

Also, even though their Honor had been reset, nobody in the fort would forget their contributions.

Ji Ye had already asked Su Nongying and An Quan to write up a proposal on how to reward the natives who were resurrected.

“However, the offerings we have are only enough for half of the Souls of Civilization in storage. There’s still a huge gap!” Su Nongying frowned and remarked.

“That’s alright. We’ll get more offerings after we enter the Battlefield of Providence later!

“Also, I’ve decided to let everybody enter the same Battlefield of Providence this time. As long as we operate well, we should be able to get inexhaustible offerings!” said Ji Ye.

Of course, since many soldiers were going to the Battlefield of Providence, the fort must be protected in some other way; for example, by welcoming some new heroes!
