Reaper of the Martial World

Book 10: Chapter 48: Fusion (3)

“It’s good to see Junior happy.” Madeleine said with a smile. “What do you think we should give as a gift? We are his ‘parents’ after all.”

The engagement party had long since come to an end, and Dyon and his wives had already provided a wealth of gifts. But it seemed that Madeleine didn’t believe that this was enough.

The two were actually currently travelling through the depths of space within the Sage Tower. It wasn’t just them, but Ri had tagged along as well. As for what their destination was, it was unknown to others.

“Isn’t it Junior’s father-in-law that’s meant to hand over a dowry. Since when did it become my responsibility?” Dyon muttered. But the only response he received was a giggle.

“Stop being so stingy.” Ri reprimanded. “Since Lilith is now Junior’s wife, she is part of our family. It can’t be that you want to hold back things from your daughter-sister-in-law, right?”

Dyon felt a headache coming along. He really had been bullied too often by his wives recently.

“Alright, alright. I’ll help her integrate with mortal meridians along with you guys.”

Seeing the two of them smiling triumphantly, Dyon could only close his eyes in defeat.

The only reason Dyon hadn’t helped his wives integrate with mortal meridians yet was because they simply didn’t have his soul strength. As a result, they wouldn’t be able to hide their strength. Luckily, Clara adapted quickly since they were originally her meridians to begin with. However, Dyon’s other wives wouldn’t be able to do so well immediately.

Since they had to participate in matters involving the Federation, it wasn’t smart to allow them to integrate just yet. Once they approached the date of the battlefield’s descent, that would be when Dyon would help them out. He also planned on helping his Demon Generals do the same as well. Of course, he would leave enough time for them to become acclimated with their new strength.

From what Dyon understood, there were actually grades among mortal meridians, the same way there were grades amongst normal meridians.

These were separated into Incomplete Fusion, Half Fusion, Fusion, and Perfect Fusion meridians by Dyon’s research.

Incomplete Fusion Meridians could partially fuse one’s vital qi of the blood, and conventional qi of the energy path.

Within Incomplete Fusion Meridians, there were those that allowed 10% fusion, 20% fusion, all the way up to 90%.

These shouldn’t be underestimated. Even a 10% Incomplete Fusion set of Meridians could provide a massive increase to one’s strength. By Dyon’s calculations, a 10% fusion was the equivalent of half an Order. This meant that 90% fusion was the equivalent difference between a 9^th Order genius and a 13^th to 14^th Order genius! historical

Half Fusion Meridians provided a 100% fusion between one’s vital qi and conventional qi. This provided a full 5 Order boost in strength.

Fusion Meridians were a step higher. These meridians not only allow the 100% fusion of vital qi and conventional qi, but also allowed the fusion of soul qi with one’s mind.

Though this didn’t provide a direct boost to one’s strength, it still drastically improved one’s comprehension, computation abilities, and thinking speed.

Like Incomplete Fusion Meridians, Fusion Meridians also had grades of their own. This limited the amount of soul qi one could fuse with their mind. This grade could be parsed by observing the halo created when one’s mind was flooded with soul qi.

Mortal Grade Fusion Meridians could accept normal soul qi and appeared as a dull white. Comet Grade Fusion Meridians could accept comet qi and appeared as a dull silver. Moon Grade and Planet Fusion Meridians appeared in a variety of colors depending on the person, but had a difference in size, Moon Grade being the smaller of the two. Finally, Star Grade Fusion Meridians appeared like blazing fire in the form of a halo, and could accept Star Qi.

The final grade of mortal meridians were the Perfect Fusion Meridians. Dyon really couldn’t see through their limits, but what he did know was that only he, Junior and Little Alauna had been born with this grade. Even Clara only had Star Grade Fusion Meridians.

Upon first glance, Dyon didn’t see a difference between them. He once assumed that Star Grade Fusion Meridians and Perfect Fusion Meridians were the same. However, when his Immortal Sense awakened, Dyon’s observation abilities were raised to an all-new level. It was then he began to see some differences…

He still didn’t quite understand. But he knew he had yet to reach his limit.

In the end, Dyon didn’t actually believe that his Perfect Fusion Meridians were the result of him being more talented. Actually, he believed he was born with Star Grade Fusion Meridians. However, his integration with the Sovereign Flame is what evolved his meridians!

As for why Little Alauna also received this benefit, the answer was obvious. When a child between a Heaven’s Child and another species was born, that child would become the absolute greatest version of whatever the non-Heaven’s Child parent was.

Simply put, Alauna didn’t evolve due to the Sovereign Flame, obviously, because Dyon hadn’t had it when he impregnated Luna. She evolved thanks to the Heaven’s Blessing.

To put these matters into perspective, within the Energy Kernel, 99% of the mortal meridians were Incomplete Fusion Meridians. 0.999% were Half Fusion Meridians. 0.001% were some form of Fusion Meridians.

Essentially, only 1 in 100 000 would be born with Fusion Meridians and be capable of using their soul qi to boost their comprehension. But, only 1 in 1 000 000 000 would be born with Star Grade Fusion Meridians.

Within the Soul Kernel, there were only 30!

So, Dyon had a decision to make. Should he give Lilith the best he had…? Or not?

Suddenly Dyon looked up. “Oh, looks like we’re here… The Emperor Giant Clan…”
