Chapter 8: Xenostructure Fusion

Chapter 8: Xenostructure Fusion

"This Soul Mask. My psychic energy might actually allow me to surpass the level of a ninth-level warrior before my body does..."

Although he was currently only a level six warrior, for the ordinary Minotaurs of the clan, becoming a renowned and battle-hardened strong warrior was already the goal they pursued.

However, Ye Han had never doubted that one day he would surpass the level of a ninth-level warrior and enter the domain where his father, Reilly, the chief of the Ironhoof Clan, currently stood.

This confidence stemmed from his two lives of cultivating the internal martial art Xingyiquan and the strong will after reaching the Dan stage.

The appearance of the Soul Mask gave him another opportunity for his psychic energy to reach this level as well. Historically, no Minotaur had ever unlocked psychic energy, let alone made any achievements in this area. The fact that a Minotaur possessed terrifying psychic energy would be the biggest joke in the Beamon Beastman Alliance Empire. Yet, by a twist of fate, Ye Han had become this miracle.

Who would have thought that an ordinary Minotaur would possess such terrifying psychic energy?

Ye Han knew that this would become one of his most terrifying trump cards.

"The triunity Soul Mask. However..." A strange look suddenly appeared on Ye Han's face.

Then, another peculiar mask appeared in front of him, also composed of countless rays of light. But unlike the golden Soul Mask, this Minotaur mask was silver.

Ye Han stretched out a finger again and pointed at the silver mask in front of him.

The silver mask suddenly contracted, turning into a beam of light that did not merge into Ye Han's brow but instead converged toward his heart.

Ye Han slowly closed his eyes.

After a moment, when he opened his eyes again, a look of realization appeared on his face as he murmured to himself, "So it is..."

In fact, everyone said that the biggest winner of this Spirit Summoning Pool gathering was Dru, Ye Han's younger brother, because he had obtained two different powerful innate abilities, the Ironhoof Clan's "War Stomp" and the Blood Seal Clan's "Heroic Aura." But what no one knew was that the real winner, in secret, was actually Ye Han.

Normally, a hybrid Minotaur would find it difficult to obtain racial innate abilities, but the sudden emergence of a thread of energy in his heart had unexpectedly stimulated the potential in his bloodline, granting him the triunity innate skills. Among them, the Soul Mask came from Ye Han's other human bloodline.

The so-called triunity came from the thread of energy after reaching the Dan stage in Ye Han's heart. Xingyiquan, an internal martial art, was already a very complex system, and those martial arts masters who could cultivate to the Dan stage were few and far between. But even so, Ye Han had never heard of anyone who, after reaching the Dan stage, would brew such a peculiar energy in their body.

He guessed that this seemed to be related to the series of changes from his soul's transmigration, and by a twist of fate, this energy was formed.

After all, the Dan stage in internal martial arts was just an imagined concept on the spiritual level, a category, and not about actually forming a golden elixir in the body. Ye Han's case was purely a stroke of luck, and if someone else followed his steps exactly, they would not be able to replicate his luck.

However, that thread of energy was indeed closely related to Ye Han's body, like a genetic blueprint containing all the information and experience of Ye Han's two lives of cultivating Xingyiquan. If he had to find an analogy, Ye Han thought it was more like the 'spiritual core' that ancient alchemists spoke of.

As for the triunity innate abilities, it was the release of the information about the "Three-Body Posture" contained in that thread of energy. This was the so-called heaven, earth, and humanity, the foundation of internal Xingyiquan, representing the sun, moon, and stars, containing endless mysteries. All methods originated from the Three-Body Posture, and the fundamentals of Xingyiquan all came from this.

What made Ye Han feel strange was that the information represented by the silver mask was an innate skill called "Xenostructure."

Different from the Soul Mask, this was a consumable innate ability, meaning it could only be used three times. But each time, he could fuse the heart of a powerful being and thus master the tremendous power of that being. The so-called Xenostructure Rebirth was a transformation, like a cuckoo occupying a magpie's nest. By fusing the heart of a powerful creature, one could gain the strength of that creature.

Ye Han knew that if this "Xenostructure" innate ability was used well, it could bring unimaginable benefits and power.

"If I can obtain the heart of a beast that surpasses the level of a ninth-level warrior..."

Ye Han murmured to himself. With his lifelong dedication to cultivating the internal martial art Xingyiquan, although his combat prowess was only at the level of a level six warrior, even he didn't fully understand how much his body had been strengthened. Added to the naturally formidable body of the Minotaur race, which had been continuously shaped by Xingyiquan like forging, hammered thousands of times, constantly removing impurities, leaving only the hardest and most resilient iron embryo, much like Ye Han's current state. Although his body was not particularly large among the Minotaur clan, even the five to six largest Minotaurs in the clan, all over two meters twenty, could not match his strength. This was an observation made over several years within the clan.

Otherwise, he wouldn't have been called the strongest of the younger generation in the Ironhoof Clan. This wasn't just about his strength; after all, the Minotaur people, with their straightforward thinking, still admired those with naturally immense strength.

Only Ye Han himself knew that his body's density had reached an incredible level. His body, which wasn't particularly tall among the Minotaur clan, was so heavy that even walking on slightly soft soil would cause his feet to sink. This was because his muscles and bones were heavily compressed, as heavy as an iron slab.

It could be said that his body could withstand much more powerful forces. If he were to use the "Xenostructure" innate ability to fuse the power of a beast that surpassed the level of a ninth-level warrior, could his true strength rival that of his father, Reilly, the strongest person in the Ironhoof Clan, a warrior who had surpassed the level of a ninth-level warrior?

Ye Han's murmured thoughts faded, and he didn't dare to think further. But his heart was burning with excitement. If his imagination came true, then this trip would lead to a dramatic and exponential growth in his strength.

After all, in this world, there were not only those powerful beasts that surpassed the level of a ninth-level warrior...
