After sending away a few ignorant disciples of the Five Mountains Sword Sect, Lu Yu killed a few projections on the way and finally reached the Fire Sea Ice Island described by Huo Ke.

The ground here was completely scorched black, with numerous cracks crisscrossing the surface.

Upon seeing the unique scenery, Lu Yu understood that he had arrived at the location of the Fire Sea.

He walked towards the center of the Fire Sea, as it was not the time for the Fire Sea to erupt, Lu Yu dared to venture into this scorched ground.

In the scorched ground, Lu Yu encountered several projections practicing fire attribute swordsmanship and martial arts. Unable to use spiritual power, their swordsmanship and martial arts contained only a scorching aura, unable to exert their full power.

However, in terms of technique, these projections were not weak, each one could be considered top-tier in the Qi Cultivation realm, and when exerting full strength, challenging those in the Spirit Cultivation realm was not impossible.

Reaching the center of the scorched ground, there was a patch of normal yellow soil, which corroborated Huo Ke's description of this place as a peculiar fusion of Fire Sea and Ice Island.

Although the time for the power eruption had not yet come, Lu Yu could still feel the scorching heat and chill beneath the ground, remnants from when the Fire Sea and Ice Island had disappeared.

Upon confirming this was the place he sought, Lu Yu retreated outward, not wishing to stay and wait for the power beneath to erupt, as even the Spirit Sea realm would face inevitable death against such force, he did not believe he could escape intact.

He could only wait for the strong projection to appear, and find a way to lure it out, in this Lu Yu had some confidence.

The Dao Reflection Stone's projection of strong individuals would be influenced by the original, their character and behavior largely similar, and their reaction to familiar things would mirror the original.

Just take out the Ice and Fire Seven Heavens inheritance jade disc, and Lu Yu believed the projection would likely emerge.

If it truly was the projection of the Han family's ancestor.

If not, there was nothing to be disappointed in, for it wouldn't be connected to the Ice and Fire Seven Heavens cultivation technique, it wasn't the person Lu Yu sought.

Having exited the scorched ground, Lu Yu looked for light-and-shadow figures between Sword Abyss and Fist Valley areas, defeating them to earn experience points.

With each projection defeated, Lu Yu gained martial arts fragments the projection excelled at, now accumulating memories of over ten martial arts in his mind.

Though each martial art fragment only contained limited memories, the diverse memories mixed together in his mind affected Lu Yu significantly.

Occasionally during his strikes, he would unknowingly execute a movement from a memory fragment, realizing the mistake and attempting to correct it, only to be seized by the shadow figures for a counterattack.

After experiencing the chaos of mixed movements once, Lu Yu began integrating the memories in his mind, absorbing and digesting them into his experience, rather than mere fragmented memories.

To improve martial art techniques, the minimum level of mastery needed was "Peak-Level Proficiency." Currently, Lu Yu could only refine the Fierce Tiger Fist and that of the No-Edge Blade Technique.

The Fierce Tiger Fist had reached the Absolute Mastery Realm, and the No-Edge Blade Technique attained Peak-Level Proficiency, both feeding into Lu Yu's understanding for improvement and new technique creation.

Lu Yu sat on the ground, isolating and examining all fist technique memory fragments, integrating the strengths of various fist techniques into the Fierce Tiger Fist.

Due to the lack of spiritual power operation methods in these fist memories, Lu Yu could only improve the Fierce Tiger Fist's movements, primarily focusing on attack speed and power.

Special effects and transitions between moves weren't crucial for the Fierce Tiger Fist, which relied entirely on physical strength for damage.

[With time spent in cultivation, a sudden realization! Fierce Tiger Fist surpasses the mortal martial arts boundary, advancing to a pending name spiritual-level martial art]

Lu Yu's mind stirred, deciding to name it Infinite Fist, symbolizing a martial art with no limits, due to integrating many fist strengths.

[Congratulations to the player for independently comprehending martial arts—Infinite Fist. Infinite Fist is a self-created martial art with growth potential, martial arts realm fixed at "Absolute Mastery," currently rated as spiritual-level third grade]

[Achievement unlocked—Self-created martial arts, rewarded with: 5000 experience points]

Receiving the achievement notification, Lu Yu was not surprised, and observed the new Infinite Fist skill added to his skills panel.

[Skill: Infinite Fist (Absolute Mastery) (Spiritual-Level Third Grade)]

[Detected fusion-compatible martial arts fragments—Thousand Illusions Streaming Light Fist. Do you wish to merge them into Infinite Fist? It can enhance the attack speed of Infinite Fist, the fusion will consume 50000 experience points]

[Detected proficiency for Thousand Illusions Streaming Light Fist at 27500, reducing fusion-required experience point consumption by 27500 points, current fusion requires 22500 experience points. Proceed with fusion?]

Fusion, naturally. Lu Yu consumed 22500 experience points to fully integrate Thousand Illusions Streaming Light Fist, earlier he had only absorbed part of its memory to improve the Fierce Tiger Fist, without merging it into the Fierce Tiger Fist.

Fusing two martial arts requires practicing Thousand Illusions Streaming Light Fist to Peak-Level Proficiency, or else it's impossible.

But if one achieved Peak-Level Proficiency in Thousand Illusions Streaming Light Fist, why bother fusing with a mortal-level martial art like Fierce Tiger Fist? It's preferable to merge it with similar eighth-grade spiritual-level martial arts.

However, martial arts fusion is a function solely available for self-created martial arts.

[Detected fusion-compatible martial arts fragments—Mountain-Opening and Earth-Shaking Fist. Do you wish to merge them into Infinite Fist? It can enhance Infinite Fist's attack power, fusion will consume 40000 experience points]

[Detected proficiency for Mountain-Opening and Earth-Shaking Fist at 12300, reducing fusion-required experience point consumption...]

Spending a substantial amount of experience points, Infinite Fist integrated the attack speed enhancement from Thousand Illusions Streaming Light Fist, increased attack power from Mountain-Opening and Earth-Shaking Fist, and added fire attribute attack effects from Eight Desolates Heaven-Burning Fist.

After merging fragments from three martial arts, Infinite Fist advanced to spiritual-level fourth grade.

Infinite Fist sought speed and power, Lu Yu divided Infinite Fist's techniques into two—Infinite Fast Fist and Infinite Heavy Fist.

Infinite Fast Fist focused solely on speed, using absolute speed to overwhelm the opponent's reaction.

Infinite Heavy Fist prioritized strength, delivering the heaviest punch to crush the opponent directly.

As for the added fire attribute attack effect, Lu Yu considered his fire attribute martial arts power boost when integrating it.

This also transformed Infinite Fist, which purely relied on Qi Blood and physical strength, into a complete spiritual-level martial art capable of utilizing spiritual power, albeit with flame damage being a mere side effect.

All extraneous fist martial arts memory fragments were discarded, Lu Yu relinquishing these fist memories, converting martial arts experience points into pure experience points.

Regarding swordsmanship training memories, Lu Yu originally planned to incorporate the strength stacking technique from Five Mountains Swordsmanship into the No-Edge Blade Technique, but realized it would actually weaken the No-Edge Blade Technique.

No-Edge Blade Technique emphasized unleashing all forces in a single burst, the strength stacking technique was not suitable for it, leading Lu Yu to abandon those swordsmanship training memories, converting them into general experience points.

Converting martial arts experience points to general experience points incurs a 50% loss.

Having sorted through his mind's memory fragments, Lu Yu stood up to search for new prey, harvesting experience points.

"Hurry up, Sword God's projection has appeared in Sword Abyss!"

"That's the Sword God's projection, even understanding a bit of Sword God's martial insights can greatly increase your strength."

"Sword God's projection is too dangerous, we better not go, heard that last year even the Spirit Cultivation realm was slain by Sword God!"

"Don't be scared, it's not like we're the ones fighting, we'll just wait beside those experts defeating Sword God, to catch a glimpse of his sword dao insights."

Sword God? Is it a BOSS? Lu Yu hurried towards the direction the others were heading.
