15: Chapter 15 Divine Skill Triple Combo! The Radiant Flame Slash Instantly Destroys Heaven and Earth!

At 8 PM, just as Lin Feng arrived home, his phone started ringing incessantly with "ding-ding-ding" sounds.

He opened it to see that the "Fusion Workshop Work Group" was being flooded with messages.

Pan Jingjing sent a string of numbers, followed by three excited emojis.

[Pan Jingjing: Boss! Today's revenue report!]

[Pan Jingjing: 12 green items sold, average price 75 points, total 9,000 points]

[Pan Jingjing: 8 blue items sold, average price 220 points, total 17,600 points]

[Pan Jingjing: 3 advanced mana potions sold, unit price 280 points, total 8,400 points]

[Pan Jingjing: 2 advanced health potions sold, unit price 260 points, total 5,200 points]

[Pan Jingjing: Today's total revenue: 40,200 points!]

Lin Feng's eyes widened instantly.

Forty thousand points?

In one day?

His fingers typed rapidly.

[Lin Feng: That much?]

As soon as the message was sent, Su Xiaoyu popped up.

[Su Xiaoyu: Boss, you didn't see the scene today! It was packed!]

[Su Xiaoyu: Sister Pan is amazing. She placed those blue items in the most prominent spots, and anyone who came in was mesmerized!]

[Li Mengmeng: Mm-hmm... there were several Explorer uncles who only intended to look, but after Sister Pan said a few words, they bought the whole set...]

[Pan Jingjing: It's mainly because our equipment's attributes are indeed good. Today, an old Explorer said that our shop's blue short sword's attributes are only slightly worse than a purple weapon he bought elsewhere.]

[Pan Jingjing: Boss, the shelves are almost empty now. Can we restock tomorrow?]

Looking at the screen, Lin Feng's lips curled up involuntarily.

He thought for a moment and replied:

[Lin Feng: Yes. I'll send another batch over tomorrow morning, both green and blue.]

[Lin Feng: You've worked hard today. Bonuses will be doubled at the end of the month.]

The group exploded instantly.

[Su Xiaoyu: Ahhh, long live the boss!]

[Li Mengmeng: Thank you, boss...]

[Pan Jingjing: Don't worry, boss. Leave the shop to us.]

Lin Feng put down his phone and walked to the center of the living room.

On the floor was still a pile of white junk he had bought in the afternoon—about forty or fifty pieces.

He rolled up his sleeves, his eyes shining.

"Time to work!"

This time he had experience.

He first categorized the white equipment by type: a pile for weapons, a pile for armor, and a pile for miscellaneous items.

Then he began batch Fusion.

Two white longswords floated up, twisting and reorganizing in a faint golden light.

"Fusion!"

[Consumed 8 mana]

[Obtained: Refined Longsword (Green)]

Three pieces of white leather armor flew together.

"Fusion!"

[Consumed 12 mana]

[Obtained: Tough Leather Armor (Blue)]

Lin Feng was like a tireless machine, processing them one by one.

When he ran out of mana, he drank a potion—he had specifically set aside a few bottles of advanced mana potion in the afternoon.

With a gulp, 40 points of mana were instantly restored.

Keep going!

10:30 PM.

The living room was already filled with finished products.

18 green weapons, 1 blue weapon.

15 pieces of green armor, 6 pieces of blue armor.

Total cost: about 5,000 points for white junk + about 2,000 points for potion costs = 7,000 points.

Total value: over 40,000 points!

"This profit margin..." Lin Feng wiped the sweat from his forehead, grinning from ear to ear.

But he knew these were just standard goods.

The real highlight was the five skill books he bought in the afternoon!

Lin Feng walked to the coffee table and carefully lined up the five skill books.

"Blade of Light," "Holy Light Shield," "Flame Impact," "Water Therapy Art," "Elemental Sense."

The pages shimmered with a faint light under the lamp.

"Try the attack skills first."

He picked up "Blade of Light" and "Flame Impact."

One in each hand, he activated his Talent!

Buzz—

Both books lit up simultaneously.

One emitted a golden halo, the other surged with red flames.

[Detectable Fusion items: Skill Book: Blade of Light (Green), Skill Book: Flame Impact (White)]

[Fusion of skills with different attributes]

[Minimum consumption: 30 mana]

[Maximum consumption: 300 mana]

"30 points to start..." Lin Feng gritted his teeth, "Let's go for it, 600 points directly!"

He chose to invest 600 points of mana—which was the vast majority of his current total mana (640 points).

Boom!

The two books melted completely, golden and red lights frantically intertwining in the air.

The temperature in the living room suddenly rose.

Lin Feng felt his Mental Energy being drained frantically, and his head spun with dizziness.

Ten seconds.

Twenty seconds.

Just as he was about to give in, the light suddenly withdrew.

A dark-gold thick leather book fell onto the coffee table with a "thud."

A sword-shaped pattern burning with golden flames was engraved on the cover.

[Obtained Item: Skill Book: Light Flame Slash]

[Quality: Blue (Excellent)]

[Effect: Condenses the dual elements of light and fire to slash a half-moon energy blade, dealing mixed attribute damage (Light + Fire) equal to Mental Energy × 6 to all enemies in its path, with a 5% chance to apply a "Burn" effect (losing HP equal to Mental Energy × 0.5 per second for 5 seconds)]

[mana Consumption: 60 mana]

[Learning Requirements: light element Affinity over 60%, fire element Affinity over 30%]

[Description: The perfect Fusion of light and fire, the synonym for destruction.]

"Mental Energy × 6 damage?!" Lin Feng gasped.

His current Mental Energy was 64 points.

Then the base damage is 64 × 6 = 384 points!

Plus the bonus from Glory Corona to the light attribute, the actual damage might exceed 400 points!

And it's an area-of-effect skill that can hit enemies in a line!

"Too insane..."

Lin Feng's hands were shaking.

He quickly drank an advanced mana potion to restore himself to full status.

"Continue! Next!"

This time he picked up "Holy Light Shield" and "Water Therapy Art."

One golden, one blue.

"Fusion!"

Similarly, he invested 60 points of mana.

The two books turned into two liquid-like masses of energy, blending and rotating in the air.

This process was gentler, the golden and blue lights blending like flowing water.

Fifteen seconds later.

A pale-gold book with water-flow patterns on the cover appeared in the air.

[Obtained Item: Skill Book: Holy Healing Ring]

[Quality: Blue (Excellent)]

[Effect: Deploys a healing Domain with a 1-meter radius centered on the user. All friendly units within the Domain recover HP equal to Mental Energy × 1 per second and gain a temporary shield that can absorb damage equal to Mental Energy × 5, lasting for 15 seconds.]

[mana Consumption: 80 mana]

[Cooldown Time: 3 minutes]

[Learning Requirements: light element Affinity over 55%, water element Affinity over 25%]

[Description: The perfect combination of protection and healing, a god-tier skill for team battles.]

"Area healing plus group shields!" Lin Feng's eyes brightened further.

This skill is simply a god-tier skill for team fights!

Although the consumption is a bit high, the effect is definitely worth the price.

"One last book left, 'Elemental Sense'..."

Lin Feng picked up the thick book with a blue cover.

Fuse this book alone?

Or...

He had a sudden inspiration.

"What if I fuse 'Elemental Sense' with the 'Elemental Perception' ability I've already learned?"

Lin Feng closed his eyes and felt the light element flowing within his body.

The Glorious Corona Physique gave him a natural, super-strong affinity for the light element.

But this perception was vague and instinctive.

The "Elemental Sense" skill, however, should be able to systematically enhance this ability.

"Try it!"

He held the "Elemental Sense" skill book in one hand and placed the other hand on his chest.

Activate Talent!

This time, the feeling was completely different.

There was no dazzling light, no violent energy fluctuations.

Only a gentle, water-like power flowed from the skill book into his body.

[Detectable Fusion items: Skill Book: Elemental Sense (Blue), Host's inherent Elemental Perception ability]

[Fusion of skill and Talent ability]

[Consumed 60 mana]

[Fusion Direction: Sublimation of inherent ability]

Lin Feng felt like he was soaking in a hot spring.

Every cell in his body was cheering.

His perception of the surrounding elements changed from vague to clear.

Originally, he could only sense the light element, but now...

He "saw" the red fire elements, blue water elements, brown earth elements, and cyan wind elements floating in the air...

Although they were very faint, they definitely existed!

[Fusion Successful]

[Host's inherent "Elemental Perception" ability has evolved]

[Obtained New Ability: Eye of the Elements (Passive)]

[Effect: Can intuitively perceive the distribution of all elements within a 10-meter radius. Overall elemental affinity increased by 10%, and success rate when learning multi-attribute skills +30%.]

[Description: You have truly opened another eye to see the world.]

"Eye of the Elements..." Lin Feng murmured.

He opened his eyes.

The world had become different.

Colorful spots of light floated in the air—those were various elemental particles.

Brown earth elements flowed within the walls.

There were faint starlight elements in the night sky outside the window.

Even on himself, there was a thick layer of golden light element.

"So this is elemental vision..."

Lin Feng took a deep breath. What shocked him the most was that skills he had already learned could also be fused. Was this what the Talent description meant by being able to fuse rules or consciousness? Lin Feng suppressed the shock in his heart.

He looked at the remaining two skill books on the coffee table.

"Light Flame Slash" and "Holy Healing Ring."

"Learn them!"

Without hesitation, he picked up "Light Flame Slash" and pressed it to his forehead.

The pages turned into goldenFlowing Light and surged into his mind.

A vast amount of knowledge, techniques, and energy circulation routes regarding the manipulation of light and fire elements were instantly etched deep into his memory.

[Learning Successful]

[Obtained New Skill: Light Flame Slash (Lv1)]

Next was "Holy Healing Ring."

BlueFlowing Light surged in.

[Learning Successful]

[Obtained New Skill: Holy Healing Ring (Lv1)]

Lin Feng opened his attribute panel.

[Name: Lin Feng]

[Rank: 4 (3876/500)]

[Strength: 19 (Attack Power 38)]

[Physique: 19 (HP 190, Defense 19)]

[Mental Energy: 64 (Magic Attack 32, mana 640)]

[Agility: 19]

[Intelligence: 19]

[Talent: F-Rank Fusion (Evolvable)]

[Skills: Light Bullet Technique (Lv1), Blasting Light Flame Technique (Lv1), Light Flame Slash (Lv1), Holy Healing Ring (Lv1)]

[Special Ability: Eye of the Elements (Passive)]

"My strength has skyrocketed..." Lin Feng clenched his fists.

Now he had three attack skills: Light Bullet Technique (long-range sniping), Blasting Light Flame Technique (single-target burst), and Light Flame Slash (area-of-effect clearing).

One defensive healing skill: Holy Healing Ring (group protection).

Plus the perception ability of the Eye of the Elements.

His combat power had at least tripled compared to yesterday!

"But mana is still not enough..."

Lin Feng did the math.

Light Flame Slash is 60 points, Holy Healing Ring is 80 points, Blasting Light Flame Technique is 30 points.

After using two or three skills, his mana would hit rock bottom.

"Tomorrow morning I'll deliver the equipment to the shop, and in the afternoon I'll go to the dungeon to level up!"

"The higher the Mental attribute, the more mana, and the higher the magic damage."

"And... I always feel that the evolution of the Talent might be related to the Mental attribute."

Lin Feng recalled the feeling during Fusion.

Every time he fused high-level items, it consumed not just mana, but also Mental Energy.

"Perhaps once my Mental Energy breaks through a certain threshold, the Talent will evolve..."

He checked the time.

11 PM.

"Sleep first and get enough rest."

Lin Feng put the equipment to be sold tomorrow into his Storage Pouch.

He also packed the remaining bottles of Advanced potions—he would keep these for his own use.

As he lay in bed, he was still calculating tomorrow's plan in his head.

Morning: Deliver goods, watch the shop, collect money.

Afternoon: Go to the Level 5 dungeon "Gloomy Forest" to grind mobs and level up.

Evening: Continue researching the Talent and try higher-difficulty Fusions.

"Right, I still have to watch out for that guy Wang Hao..."

Lin Feng's gaze turned cold.

Although Chen Lin had warned him, he knew clearly in his heart.

A petty person like Wang Hao would definitely not let it go.

"I need to speed up the pace of becoming stronger."

"Only strength is the best protective charm."

Outside the window, the moonlight was like water.

The youth closed his eyes, his breathing gradually becoming steady.

In his dream, he saw his parents' figures.

They stood in a golden light, smiling at him.

"Xiao Feng, you must become strong..."

"Strong enough to see the truth of this world clearly..."

Lin Feng clenched his fists in his sleep.

"I will."

"I definitely will."

The night deepened.

In the academy dormitory on the other side of the city, Wang Hao was staring at his phone screen.

A message he just received was displayed on the screen:

"It's already been arranged. Tomorrow morning, someone will go to 'take care' of Lin Feng's shop."

A cold sneer curled at the corner of Wang Hao's mouth.

He replied:

"Do it cleanly."

"I want his shop to not even last until the third day."

After pressing the send button, Wang Hao walked to the window.

He looked at the bright moon in the night sky.

"Lin Feng, don't blame me."

"If you must blame someone, blame your bad luck."

"An F-Rank Talent should honestly stay at the bottom."

"Climbing too high... will lead to a fatal fall."

He turned back to the bed and began to meditate and Cultivate.

The water element fluctuations on him were quite a bit stronger than a few days ago.

Clearly, the academy's resources had allowed him to progress rapidly.

Meanwhile, Lin Feng knew nothing of this.

He was immersed in the dream of becoming stronger.

What awaited him would be a second day full of challenges.

But what the youth didn't know—

Was that when he opened his eyes, a storm would have already arrived quietly.
