Under the starry sky ceiling of the Royal Nightmare Bed, Xu Lang opened his eyes, a flicker of emotion passing through his gaze.

Damn!

A Ghost Controller paired with a player Ghost Pet is just too broken!

It's basically like two players tackling a level, and Senior Sister Red Butterfly is no weak ghost to begin with. She already had a bunch of powerful skills, and after becoming a player, with all sorts of compatible skills added to her, her combat power is seriously impressive.

Tong Qi actually doesn't need the Simulation that much, because with Senior Sister Red Butterfly's attributes converted to Constitution, she becomes an infinitely regenerating meat shield, clearing the way through the thunder upfront.

Xu Lang looked at Tong Qi, wanting to wake her up, but found she had already fallen asleep in his arms, her breathing light, a smile at the corner of her mouth.

These past few days, Xu Lang had been in deep sleep. Even though they knew he was fine, Tong Qi and the others were still very worried and hadn't slept well.

With a relieved smile, Xu Lang didn't wake Tong Qi and instead entered the Fusion Dream.

...

I always used to feel there weren't enough fusion attempts, but now it's increased to thirty. Gotta fuse like crazy!

"Currently, all the facilities that can be fused have been fused. Can only fuse other stuff now."

Xu Lang happily rubbed his hands together.

Building a fortress feels awesome, but the feeling of boosting your own strength is also pretty sweet.

"Hmm, first, reserve a few fusion attempts for Tong Qi and the others to fuse outfits and just in case."

"Speaking of which, can Ghost Child fuse with River Mouth Child? Seems like that option hasn't appeared on my side yet. Guess the development effort isn't enough."

"Hehe..."

Under Xu Lang's manipulation, the Transformation Card Fusion Series reached its end, and the final product is as follows.

[Aberration·Corpse Liberation Immortal Transformation Card]

[Type: Permanent Item]

[Level: 10]

[Rarity: Legendary]

[Attributes: Constitution 211, Spirit 130]

[Skills: Steal Heaven's Secrets (Legendary), Great Transmutation (Legendary), Five Turbidities Evil World (Legendary), Zombie Poison (Excellent), Shatter Bone Seal Territory (Uncommon)]

[Effect: After use, transform into Aberration·Corpse Liberation Immortal, gaining corresponding skills and attributes. Duration 5 minutes. Cooldown 30 minutes.]

[Upgrade Condition: 3000 Nightmare Coins]

[Description: An abomination that achieved immortality through corpse liberation using special means. Even heavenly lightning finds it hard to punish!]

The Aberration·Corpse Liberation Immortal Transformation Card's body is exquisitely and gorgeously crafted, presenting a profound black and white color scheme, with white mist swirling around it. An image that seems both immortal and demonic is depicted within.

His white hair flows, his withered, ash-gray body draped in a white Daoist robe, his torso slender.

As the light and mist shift, the Corpse Liberation Immortal's image changes. Countless crimson eyes bulge beneath its skin, their red glow sinister!

Xu Lang blinked, realizing that from different angles, the Corpse Liberation Immortal would have different appearances.

Has that same vibe as getting a diamond Pokémon card as a kid.

"Hah, before, when it was Excellent-grade, it wanted fifteen thousand Nightmare Coins from me. Now that it's become a Legendary card, why is it only asking for three thousand? You really know how to put on an act!"

Xu Lang laughed wickedly.

Solid!

Solid as hell!

Nightmare Coins now are even harder than freaking US dollars!

He almost couldn't resist upgrading the transformation card right then and there.

"Next!"

Xu Lang took a deep breath, suppressing the impulse, and raised his hand to summon two pieces of armor.

One was the blood armor that Zheng Kai phased out. Although its level wasn't high, it had a very rare life-steal effect. The other was the Lion Savage Overlord Armor.

A moment later, the two pieces of equipment fused, and the result was exactly as Xu Lang had imagined.

After the Sequence's initial awakening, the probability of fusion yielding good results is higher. He can now interfere with the fusion to a certain extent, such as preserving which traits, removing which traits, and fusing which traits.

Although he can only interfere a little, not to the point of turning stone into gold, it's still more than just a tiny bit more comfortable than before!

Next, Xu Lang took out several more heavy armors and fused them with the new version of the Lion Savage Overlord Armor.

The final product is as follows.

[Bloodfiend Battle Armor]

[Type: Chest Armor]

[Level: 15]

[Rarity: Legendary]

[Durability: 7000/7000]

[Defense: Extremely High]

[Effect 1 (Reinforcement): Constitution Attribute +85, Spirit Attribute +10, Mobility -1]

[Effect 2 (Blood Elegy): Bleeding effects inflicted increased by 30%]

[Effect 3 (Undying Blood Will): The demonic armor absorbs enemy blood, automatically forming a blood membrane with a maximum durability of 5000 points]

[Effect 4 (Demonic Transformation): Activate Demonic Transformation. The Bloodfiend Battle Armor merges with the body. The wearer shares 30% of the Bloodfiend Battle Armor's defense.]

[Effect 5 (Heart of the Overlord): Abnormal status reduction 30%]

[Decomposition Yields: Bloodfiend Steel 30X, Violent Crystal X5]

[Upgrade Condition: 20000 Nightmare Coins]

[Description: Fight to the death without retreating!!!]

"So damn awesome!"

Xu Lang put on the Bloodfiend Battle Armor right there in the dream, his expression soaring with excitement.

The Bloodfiend Battle Armor has it all: lethality, defense, amplification, and status control!

Xu Lang has created a super chimera!

Especially that Demonic Transformation ability, it's utterly broken!

You have to understand, when equipment takes damage, the player is also getting hurt.

Most of the time, the player dies before the equipment's durability hits zero.

But when Xu Lang activates Bloodfiend, sharing the armor's defense, plus his body's own resistance and defense... just thinking about the effect feels explosive!

Moreover, the Bloodfiend Battle Armor's durability is a shocking 7000 points!

What the hell do I need the Golden Pillar Jade Toad Door for anymore?!

Xu Lang standing at the door *is* the door!

"Damn! Wearing this set makes the Blood Pelican Demon Blade feel kinda girly!" Xu Lang looked left and right, really finding it hard to resist displaying the equipment's appearance.

It's just way too freaking cool!

"Too bad it's just the upper body." Xu Lang felt a bit regretful.

Earlier, he had thought about fusing the Ghostly Profound Armor to create a secondary set, but now it seems completely unnecessary.

As for the Jade Armor effect he once treasured?

It's basically a coward's effect, alright!

Doesn't suit him at all!

A real man should be clad in blood-soaked battle armor, trading blows right at the main gate!

"I'll fuse you later and give you to Little Tong or Yazhi." Xu Lang glanced at the Ghostly Profound Armor and muttered quietly.

Tong Qi is fragile; the Jade Armor effect suits her well.

But Tong Qi is a mage, and heavy armor often doesn't add Spirit attributes, so the Ghostly Profound Armor's final ownership might still end up with Wang Yazhi.

Next, Xu Lang began fusing a general skill he had been thinking about for a long time.

To leverage the advantage of the Blood Pelican Demon Blade, he highly values blade technique, but he felt that improving Master-level Blade Technique through fusion would be too difficult. So, he adopted a roundabout approach: expanding the fusion scope to include all proficiency-type skills.

Currently, this skill contains a whole bunch of cold weapon general skills like swordsmanship, spearmanship, shield technique, Blunt Weapon Proficiency, etc. Its quality had been stuck at the Uncommon level.

It's worth mentioning that proficiency skills used to be categorized as passive skills. Later, after the Mad King Building upgraded, many new skill types appeared: general, auxiliary, perception, etc. Proficiency-type skills were then reclassified into general skills.

This time, the more Xu Lang fused, the more promising it got!

The very first fusion jumped from Uncommon straight to Excellent grade!

Each subsequent fusion also showed clear improvement.

When it reached Legendary level, he still didn't stop. He decisively went all-in, throwing in Master-level Blade Technique as well. One shot, one hit—the skill rose to Epic grade!

But that momentum didn't disappear; instead, it grew even stronger!!!

Xu Lang gulped audibly, his hands starting to tremble as if he had Parkinson's.

Could it be... that his first Mythical skill would be born today!?
