Chapter 749: Chapter 288: Fusion (Two-in-One Mega Chapter)_2

That is to say, this fusion can be considered an experiment.

After making up his mind, Rein called up the system prompt, took another look, and quickly, he chose “Yes!”

Immediately, on the Weapon Master (Legendary) panel, the lv18 Bear King Breathing Technique flickered a few times and then disappeared, replaced by the words ‘Unknown Breathing Technique’.

The level indicator behind it began to fluctuate wildly.

Soon, the number stabilized at lv15.

The lv18 Bear King Breathing Technique, after the transformation, had dropped by a full three levels.

It’s important to note that these three levels required three Golden Skill Points to advance.

This made Rein feel a bit of pain.

But with a slight sensing, Rein knew this should be a good thing.

Because at this moment, he did not feel the awkwardness in his body that he had felt in the morning while practicing the Fire Gekko Breathing Technique; instead, some parts of his body began to emit a faint heat.

These parts were mostly concentrated in some small muscle groups in the calves, fascia, and some fascia in the waist, among others.

At the same time, a massive flood of memories about practicing the Unknown Breathing Technique began to surge into Rein’s mind, making his head feel slightly swollen.

For a moment, Rein felt as if he had been practicing the Unknown Breathing Technique in a mysterious space for decades!

After he absorbed these memories, the system prompt followed:

[Yes/No, would you like to rename the new breathing technique?]

After thinking, Rein chose ‘Yes’.

“Fire Bear Breathing Technique!”

“Since it’s a fusion of the Fire Gekko Breathing Technique and the Bear King Breathing Technique, take the first character of each and rename it.”

“After all, this new breathing technique is completely different now, and it’s significantly different from the original Fire Gekko Breathing Technique as well as the Bear King Breathing Technique.”

However, the naming was a minor matter; Rein was more concerned with the effects.

The system’s fusion seemed to play to the strengths of each.

It not only preserved the strength and constitution enhancing aspects of the Bear King Breathing Technique but also incorporated the agility enhancement and some extraordinary traits stimulating benefits of the Fire Gekko Breathing Technique.

Rein reviewed the movements and postures of the new breathing technique in his mind, totaling now to twenty-four.

If scrutinized, these movements would reveal traces of both the Fire Gekko and Bear King Breathing Techniques.

Minutes later, two more system prompts appeared silently:

[Congratulations! Your Constitution Attribute has increased!]

[Congratulations! Your Agility Attribute has increased!]

Huh?

Rein’s eyes lit up!

“The effects are showing this quickly?”

“Looking at it this way, if other breathing techniques were also fused, could it be possible…”

“However, one should probably choose to fuse higher-level breathing techniques first, perhaps the impact would be more noticeable then.”

“After all, each fusion consumes 4 Golden Skill Points, which isn’t a small amount.”

“As for high-level breathing techniques, although Cleya doesn’t have them anymore, the Sword Bearers Branch surely does.”

———–

Mingster.

In a noble mansion.

“Stanley, even if this Rein is your man, wasn’t your attitude just now a bit too much?” Drak couldn’t help feeling a bit displeased.

At the same time, he became more convinced of his own suspicion.

This new Sword Bearer, Rein, might have already been recruited by his old schoolmate before him.

“My man?” Stanley burst out laughing.

“Ha, Drak, all I can tell you is that this Rein is the rising star of the Mingster Sword Bearers Branch, even Admiral Edward holds him in high regard.”

“Hm? Admiral Edward?”

This made Drak’s expression tense, and he immediately began pondering.

It would be troublesome and foolish for anyone to offend an Imperial Admiral for no good reason.

But the issue was that his nephew Melvord urgently needed a pair of Ancient Giant Troll tusks for an upcoming bloodline awakening ceremony.

Moreover, his brother, Marquis Lorenz, had already asked many people and couldn’t find a pair of suitable Ancient Giant Troll tusks in a short period.

So, even if it meant offending Admiral Edward, it had to be done.

After weighing everything, Drak looked up at Stanley and said firmly:

“Stanley, to be honest, my brother Marquis Lorenz places great importance on this matter. Before I came to Mingster, he made it very clear, it must be resolved.”

“So, even if it means offending Admiral Edward, I think, I must proceed,” Drak said gravely.

“Foolish, won’t you ask why Rein is so highly regarded by Admiral Edward?” Stanley grew even more infuriated, his anger tinged with disappointment.

At this, Drak was taken aback and after a moment’s thought, asked:

“Why?”

“Uh… this…. I can’t tell you.” Stanley, about to spill, suddenly shook his head.

Because Stanley remembered, this matter was confidential, and he couldn’t discuss the specifics.

“Stanley, are you playing with me?”

“No, it’s because this content is confidential. Let me tell you what I can, and you’ll understand,” Stanley reconsidered, said.

“The Imperial Guardian, Prince Meinya, you know him, right?”

“Focus, Stanley, do you think I wouldn’t know about Prince Meinya? Don’t tell me, this Rein is Prince Meinya’s illegitimate son.” Drak glanced at Stanley with irritation, said.

Rein’s resume he had already read, born in a small town in Meister in Mingster Province, has nothing to do with the so-called ‘Red Queen’ Prince Meinya.
