“Can it be done?” Lia frowned, her expression one of disbelief.

If they could fuse rare techniques, the boost in combat power would be immense.

Her Flaming Slash could be released three times, Lin Da three times, Isa the same. Once successful, it would mean three fusion rare skills, with total output damage and fault tolerance far surpassing that of a single-use fusion ultimate skill.

“Let’s try it,” Lin Da said, “Even if it doesn’t work, we can treat it as training to improve our proficiency with rare techniques.”

In the blink of an eye, an afternoon had passed.

The fusion of rare techniques proved difficult; they were clueless.

...

Lin Da, in turn, became quite weak due to the blood-draining cost of casting Magic Heart Slash.

Lulu had just come up to visit, almost thinking Lin Da and Lia had “battled for three hundred rounds.”

After Lin Da explained the situation, Lulu and the others who were left training in the hall learned that Lin Da had mastered a rare technique called “Magic Heart Slash.”

“The captain is so amazing!”

“Humph, I will comprehend a rare technique in the future too.”

“Truly worthy of being partners! Now we’re even more assured against those scoundrels from Red Heart City!”

Monica, Chloe, Oru, and others were excited, while some felt bitter.

That evening, the group had a simple meal together, then each took out their tents and directly slept inside the building.

There were only six days left until the opening of the fifteenth floor of the Great Mystery Continent, and they would devote all their energy to training during these six days.

The next morning, an unexpected guest arrived at the training building.

“You all are working hard to prepare for confronting Red Heart City, and I as the chairman must show my support too!”

Lin Da entertained Weylon in the tea room.

Weylon mysteriously pulled out a white box, “This is an ‘Inspiration Fruit’ I managed to obtain for you three from the city committee.”

Upon opening the box, there were three fruits encased in crystal boxes, similar in appearance to walnuts but much larger, about the size of an adult’s fist.

Inspiration Fruit?

Lin Da’s eyes lit up; this was an extremely rare material only produced above the fifteenth floor of the Great Mystery Continent.

Its effect is to enhance adventurers’ proficiency with skills.

In other words, this thing could increase skill points!

Lin Da currently had just two remaining skill points, exactly when he was in dire need, so Weylon’s ‘Inspiration Fruit’ was a timely aid. With it, Lin Da could easily enhance his proficiency with Magic Heart Slash!

Such an ‘Inspiration Fruit’ would likely cost ten million gold coins… no, a thousand purple gold coins. ‘Inspiration Fruit’ is a scarce resource needed by adventurers all over the continent and only trades in purple gold coins.

The only pity was that usually, only the first fruit was effective; a second one couldn’t bring “inspiration” to the adventurer,

Just like Lin Da, who had consumed one at level 36. To continue gaining skill points from Inspiration Fruit, he would need to surpass the level 40 threshold before another fruit would be effective. However, level 40 Inspiration Fruits are far more expensive than those for level 30.

Lin Da’s gaze swept over, and the item interface popped up:

[Name: Inspiration Fruit]

[Level: lv30]

[Quality: Epic One Star]

[Effect: After consumption by adventurers level 30-40, randomly increases a specific skill by 1-3 proficiency levels, up to a maximum of lv4. Thereafter, Golden Skill Points must be used.]

“President, rest assured, we will achieve victory in this battle.”

Lin Da accepted the Inspiration Fruit with a solemn expression. This meant that he had accepted Weylon’s favor.

Although Weylon was also considering the interests of White Dove City, regardless, Lin Da was the beneficiary. He had partaken of White Dove City’s hospitality and would repay the other party.

A victory would be the best gift for White Dove City.

The adventurers of White Dove City needed this battle to wash away the humiliation they had suffered over the past few decades.

This battle involved nearly a hundred Star Ranks from two cities. The variables were too great, and Lin Da could not foresee everything, but still, as the captain of an adventure team from White Dove City, he made a promise to Weylon, “We will win.”

Weylon was stunned for a moment, not expecting the usually conservative Lin Da to speak so decisively. The previous Lin Da was more like a strategist, lacking the adventurous spirit.

After a brief pause, Weylon said, “Don’t feel too pressured. As long as this battle shows the spirit of the adventurers of White Dove City, letting the surrounding cities watching know that we are not the weaklings we used to be, that’s enough.

Remember, this is a battle between adventurers, not a fight to the death!

If anything unexpected happens, I’d rather you give up on the 15th floor of the Great Mystery Continent!”

With the potential of the Phoenix Tail Flower Adventure Team, continuing their disciplined cultivation, they would soon reach Sunrise Level, and both Ice Flower and Snow Goose had great hopes too.

Weylon didn’t want to lose big over a petty fight for the 15th floor of the Great Mystery Continent.

Weylon spoke with a serious expression, “In this battle, just do your best. Winning or losing doesn’t matter.”

“I understand,” Lin Da felt warmed inside, saying, “If Scarlet Adventure Group were to join, I really wouldn’t be sure, but I sent Kafni to Red Heart City to gather information. Last night, she came back and told me that for some reason, Scarlet openly stated they would not participate.”

With the decades of prestige accumulated by the Scarlet Adventure Group, they wouldn’t lie to the people of Red Heart City.

We only need to face the five adventure teams led by Fry.”

Weylon laughed, “Only five teams? It seems you are more confident than I thought. You must have some tricks up your sleeve that you didn’t show in the exhibition match, huh?”

Lin Da smiled modestly, neither confirming nor denying.

“By the way, you must have heard about the ‘Power King’ Slo?” Weylon’s expression turned serious. “Are you confident?”

Lin Da remained composed, “Although it may sound arrogant, of the adventurers below Moon Rank, there are only a few I consider—Abner from White Dove City, Lia, Isa from White Dove City, the Bloody Baron, Thunder Swordsman Dawen from Red Heart City…

‘Power King’ Slo seems to be someone who, because someone else stepped on his cat, ended up beating that person to a pulp in the wilderness, right?

Anyone with clear eyes can see it’s Red Heart City’s Adventurers’ Guild sheltering Slo, a darling valued as an Eight Stars potential, who is supposed to attend the Ice Abyss Training Camp this summer; of course, they wouldn’t want to throw him in jail.

President, pardon my bluntness, but such trash doesn’t even qualify as my opponent.”

Lin Da spoke calmly, as if stating an established fact.

At that moment, Weylon felt as though he was looking at an iron pillar firmly embedded in the ground, Lin Da’s words as heavy and powerful as steel, exemplifying the phrase ‘Iron Level Adventure Team’ vividly. It seemed as long as Lin Da spoke, those words would turn into reality.

Weylon had only ever felt a similar sensation from Abner. Yet, Abner was somewhat like a silent cauldron, revealing his sharpness only during battle.

In comparison, Lin Da was like a massive, unwieldy iron rod, standing quietly in the wilderness, large and thick, unshaken by wind or rain.
