Chapter 11 – Compound Killer Moves
Li Tianyu had no intention of entering the battlefield immediately.
This place was different from the outside world.
Most of those stationed here were human Gu Masters fighting for the survival of mankind.
Although conflicts between humans still existed...
They were far less common than during times of peace.
For the moment...
He didn't need to remain as cautious as before.
His priority...
Was becoming stronger.
...
Within a single day...
Li Tianyu completed six refinements.
Each was a valuable Rank One Gu worm.
After deducting the refinement costs...
His net profit exceeded one thousand primeval stones.
Without hesitation...
He purchased fifty-one worthless Rank One Gu worms.
Most possessed little practical value.
Their only purpose...
Was becoming nourishment.
Back inside his rented House Gu...
Ember Spark Gu quietly crawled onto the pile of Gu worms.
One after another...
The Gu worms silently disintegrated into countless Dao fragments.
Every fragment was absorbed into the Dao Repository.
Li Tianyu watched quietly.
Ordinary deductions were astonishingly cheap.
Most Rank One Gu recipes required only two to ten Rank One Gu worms.
Unauthorized duplication: this tale has been taken without consent. Report sightings.
Rank One compound killer moves generally required only three to fifteen Gu worms.
Compared to deducing entirely new Gu worms...
The cost was almost negligible.
Without hesitation...
He issued his first command.
"Ember Spark Gu."
"Deduce a Rank One compound killer move centered around Pilfering Hand Gu and Flame Lotus Gu."
The tiny crimson ant emitted a faint glow.
A moment later...
A thought entered his mind.
Deduction possible.
Required payment:
Twelve Rank One Gu worms.
Estimated deduction time:
Five minutes.
Li Tianyu accepted immediately.
The Dao fragments within Ember Spark Gu quietly ignited.
Five minutes later...
The crimson glow returned.
Ember Spark Gu awakened.
At that instant...
A vast torrent of knowledge flooded directly into Li Tianyu's mind.
The activation sequence.
Primeval essence circulation.
The precise timing between every Gu worm.
Every possible point of failure.
Every successful variation.
The entire compound killer move became deeply engraved within his memories.
It felt...
As though he had practiced it for over a year.
A smile slowly appeared on his face.
Blazing Pilfering Palm.
Using Flame Lotus Gu as the core...
Together with Pilfering Hand Gu and several supplementary Gu...
The killer move condensed an enormous flaming palm.
Once it struck an opponent...
The palm attempted to force its way into the enemy's aperture.
If successful...
It immediately stole one of the opponent's Gu worms.
Primeval essence consumption:
Eighty percent.
Its success rate was exceptionally high.
More importantly...
Even if the theft failed...
The killer move produced almost no backlash upon the user.
Li Tianyu nodded in satisfaction.
It perfectly suited him.
His Primordial Flame Physique possessed an extraordinary ability.
Any Gu worm of the same rank that entered his body...
Immediately became docile.
Furthermore...
His physique could instantly refine any ownerless Gu worm of the same rank.
Unlike the Sovereign Immortal Body...
His physique still possessed a Vital Gu.
Ember Spark Gu.
The two did not conflict.
Instead...
They complemented one another perfectly.
...
His second deduction soon began.
This time...
It strengthened his offensive capabilities.
Required payment:
Eight Rank One Gu worms.
Several minutes later...
A second torrent of knowledge entered his mind.
Blazing Sunburst.
Using Blazing Sun Gu as the core...
The killer move greatly enlarged the fireball it created.
Its explosive power.
Range.
And destructive force...
All increased dramatically.
Primeval essence consumption:
Twenty-five percent.
...
His third deduction focused on defense.
Required payment:
Seven Rank One Gu worms.
Heavenly Wind Barrier.
Centered around Wind Barrier Gu...
It condensed multiple compressed layers of wind around the user's body.
Its defensive strength greatly surpassed that of Wind Barrier Gu alone.
Primeval essence consumption:
Thirty percent.
...
The fourth deduction enhanced healing.
Required payment:
Ten Rank One Gu worms.
Spring Rebirth.
Using Spring Water Gu as the core...
The killer move could rapidly heal severe injuries.
Broken bones.
Deep wounds.
Torn muscles.
Even they could gradually recover.
Its healing ability had already reached the level of an ordinary Rank Two healing Gu.
However...
It could only be used upon himself.
Primeval essence consumption:
Fifty percent.
...
The fifth deduction focused on movement.
Required payment:
Six Rank One Gu worms.
Blazing Gale Step.
Centered around Swift Gale Gu...
The killer move fused blazing flames with swift winds.
The instant it was activated...
Li Tianyu's movement speed increased explosively.
His acceleration.
Agility.
Turning speed.
And short-distance bursts...
All rose to an astonishing level.
The scorching wind left in his wake could even momentarily disrupt an opponent's vision and make pursuit more difficult.
Primeval essence consumption:
Twenty-five percent.
...
Finally...
Li Tianyu completed one last deduction.
Required payment:
Five Rank One Gu worms.
Blazing Insight.
Centered around Heat Vision Gu...
Its detection range expanded several times over.
Not only could it observe heat signatures across great distances...
It also greatly improved its accuracy.
Primeval essence consumption:
Twenty percent.
...
Every one of these compound killer moves used Flame Lotus Gu as their core.
Although their primeval essence consumption was enormous...
Li Tianyu didn't care.
With Flame Lotus Gu continuously absorbing the free primeval essence of Heaven and Earth...
His primeval essence recovered at an astonishing speed.
The only true limitation...
Was the brief time required to activate each compound killer move.
Night gradually fell.
Li Tianyu quietly sat cross-legged within the rented House Gu.
Tomorrow...
He would step onto the battlefield for the very first time.
