After the Ming Cult conference concluded, Zhang Cuishan immediately threw himself into the intensive training of his followers, believing that every drop of sweat shed now would increase their chances of survival in battle.
...
The back mountain of Wudang.
At this point, Xiao Ning's seclusion had reached a stalemate.
He overestimated his own comprehension.
"As expected, I am a piece of trash!"
Completely clueless, Xiao Ning cursed inwardly.
More than a year has passed since Xiao Ning returned to Wudang from Bright Peak, and he has been in seclusion ever since.
Before going into seclusion, he was full of confidence, believing that he could absorb the essence of many divine skills, make them his own, create an unparalleled divine skill, forge his own path in martial arts, and break through to the realm of martial arts grandmaster.
One year later, the progress of the achievement has changed from 0 to 0.001.
"What can I do? I'm desperate too!"
Xiao Ning couldn't help but feel discouraged.
"Oh right, I haven't checked in today yet. Let's see what good stuff I can get..."
After thinking for a long time, Xiao Ning suppressed his emotions, calmed himself down, and silently said in his heart, "System, I want to sign in!"
The next moment.
[Check-in successful! Currently on a consecutive check-in streak of 6666 days!]
[Congratulations, host! You have received a reward: 1 Yellow-grade Fragment]
[The prize has been sent to your system space. Please check it!]
The system's mechanical voice rang out, but the words it uttered stunned Xiao Ning.
"Another fragment, so I have four pieces now?"
"Perfect for crafting a Yellow-tier card..."
Xiao Ning's eyes widened in surprise, and with a thought, his consciousness entered the void.
In the dim, empty space, four crystal-clear fragments floated, emitting a shimmering luster that was dazzling and captivating.
Xiao Ning rubbed his hands excitedly and muttered, "Synthesize!"
Without any actual movement, the four fragments emitted boundless light as soon as the thought arose, gradually converging towards each other and eventually merging together.
In the blink of an eye, a card appeared in Xiao Ning's field of vision. It was the same size as the playing cards he had seen in his previous life.
On the front of the card, there is an antique-style seal script character "黄" (Huang) in the upper left corner, a golden five-pointed star in the upper right corner, and its name is written at the bottom: Fusion Card.
The back of the card has four large seal characters: Check-in System.
At the same time, Xiao Ning naturally understood how to use it.
This is a one-time yellow-level one-star card. As its name suggests, it can fuse ten of the same type of items below yellow level.
The most intuitive feeling is:
[Card Name]: Fusion Card
[Card Level]: Yellow Tier 1 Star
[Card Function]: Fuse ten items of the same type (including yellow level and below).
The cards contain all kinds of similar items, encompassing a wide range of categories.
It can be ten martial arts manuals below the Yellow level, ten divine weapons below the Yellow level, or ten rare and precious materials below the Yellow level...etc. As long as it is below the Yellow level, all items can be fused.
Although its star rating is not high, only the lowest level yellow one-star, the number of similar items it can fuse is ten, while two-star is twenty, three-star is thirty, four-star is forty, and five-star is fifty.
However, the appearance of this card brought Xiao Ning mixed feelings of joy and worry.
The good thing is that what I needed came to me.
Xiao Ning's path to creating his own martial arts technique was progressing slowly, and this card came at just the right time. Now, as long as he had a thought, he could use this fusion card to fuse all his life's learning into a higher-level divine skill.
What worries me is that whatever I lack comes to pass.
Xiao Ning wondered if there was a powerful being secretly controlling his destiny.
Or perhaps it's all just an online game, and I'm merely a character in the game being manipulated by others?
All of this remains unknown!
These thoughts flashed through Xiao Ning's mind. After thinking for a long time, he still couldn't figure it out. He smiled bitterly and said, "Even if I'm being controlled by someone else, it's still a billion times more exciting than the mundane life of an ordinary person in my previous life. What do I have to be dissatisfied with?"
Xiao Ning turned his head and threw these random thoughts to the back of his mind. After all, life is like that, since you can't resist it, you might as well enjoy it!
Then, a thought struck him, and he silently said, "Use the Fusion Card!"

Chapter 67 Unknown Technique
Xiao Ning's mind raced, and he silently chanted, "Use the Fusion Card!"
As soon as the words were spoken, the card that had been radiating brilliant light in the void instantly turned into specks of light and disappeared without a trace.
