Chapter 1312: Three Slayings of the Evil

"In the 'Basic Principles of Fusion Theory,' I divide fusion into four stages."

In Chen Ling's memory, a figure in a black shirt was holding a pointer, earnestly pointing at four bolded words on the blackboard and saying:

"The first stage is called 【Refining the Self】."

"The 【Refining the Self】 stage is not necessary in the fusion process. It is usually used as a preparation stage before the formal fusion begins. Through specialized endurance training, divergent thinking exercises, pain reduction, and combined with high-intensity physical training, one can bring their mental and physical state to the peak before proceeding with calamity fusion...

Through a large amount of clinical practice, it has been confirmed that completing the 【Refining the Self】 stage before fusion increases the success rate by nearly 38% compared to rushing into fusion without experiencing it!

But nearly half of the children in our fusion school are accidental fusions, or have to fuse directly in a near-death state, skipping the 【Refining the Self】 stage. So the weaker the innate foundation, the more difficult the subsequent three stages will be. But don't worry too much; we also have many examples of completing high-degree fusion without experiencing 【Refining the Self】."

"The second stage is called 【Connecting to the Nether】."

"So-called 【Connecting to the Nether】 means the body has been polluted by the calamity, which is the formal 'fusion.'

At this stage, your consciousness will be crazily impacted and eroded by the calamity's consciousness. This is the stage with the highest mortality rate among the four stages. Humans with weak bodies and willpower can almost never survive this stage. But at the same time, two possibilities will appear:

If you are lucky, the rank of the fused calamity is not high, and its personality is not too aggressive. If so, the survival rate can be greatly improved, and subsequent fusion will be relatively smooth;

But if you are unlucky and the fused calamity is of a high rank or very aggressive, it will be an extremely difficult battle. You must never let its consciousness completely swallow your consciousness, otherwise, you will completely degenerate into a calamity.

In this process, your body will change to some extent, such as growing a calamity's tail, growing a calamity's fur, or organ mutation, possessing certain characteristics of the corresponding calamity. This is a normal phenomenon. However, the higher the degree of completion in the 【Connecting to the Nether】 stage, the less obvious the calamity characteristics will be."

"The third stage is 【Slaying the Evil】."

"I must solemnly warn everyone that 【Slaying the Evil】 is a very dangerous thing. For the vast majority of you, completing 【Connecting to the Nether】 is enough. After all, you only need to use the calamity's organs to eliminate your own diseases and don't need to pursue more powerful combat effectiveness.

So-called 【Slaying the Evil】 is the process of actively provoking the calamity's consciousness and fighting it after resisting the calamity's pollution. If you win the battle, you will further obtain the power that originally belonged to the calamity.

Unlike the mainstream advancement methods of the Fourteen Divine Paths, Divine Path advancement must be steady and will be limited by one's own talent. Some people may find it difficult to improve a rank for several years... But for us fusionists, we are essentially not 'advancing,' but 'plundering' the power of the calamity. So as long as we perform 【Slaying the Evil】, we can significantly improve our strength in a very short time!

But depending on the different calamities fused and one's own state, there is also an upper limit to the number of times 【Slaying the Evil】 can be performed.

Calamities below the fifth rank can only 【Slaying the Evil】 once at most, sixth and seventh-rank calamities can 【Slaying the Evil】 twice, and eighth-rank calamities can 【Slaying the Evil】 three times... According to my summary and calculation, the success rate of the first 【Slaying the Evil】 is about 35%, and the success rate of the second 【Slaying the Evil】 is only 10%... The third 【Slaying the Evil】 has a success rate of less than 3%.

And the higher the rank of the calamity you fuse, the more aggressive the calamity, the lower the success rate will be. If you are very unfortunate to have fused a high-rank, highly aggressive calamity, I suggest performing 【Slaying the Evil】 at most twice...

The third time is almost certain death."

After speaking, Teacher Ye's gaze deliberately looked at Chen Ling, who was sitting in the front row.

Chen Ling knew very well that Teacher Ye's last warning was specifically for him... The one on him was the King of Calamities, the highest-ranked and most aggressive in the world!

Do not perform three slayings of the evil on the Mockery Calamity... Chen Ling understood, but he had no choice at the moment.

In the empty underground palace, the bright red opera robe sat quietly on the black throne, his eyes full of indifference and casualness.

Chen Ling glanced at the audience expectation value in the corner. The expectation value had been fluctuating along the way, and now it was stable at 69%, just on the boundary between rebirth and liberating the Mockery Calamity...

"A situation of certain death, it's not like I haven't broken it before... At worst, I'll just die in the Ghost Mockery Abyss."

Chen Ling chuckled.

He sat lazily and casually on the throne, one hand supporting his chin, and the other hand took out a black pistol from his bosom, gently pressing it against his temple...

The bright red opera robe was eerie and crazy in the darkness.

"Let's have another fight..."

"Mockery Calamity."

Bang——!!

The bullet penetrated Chen Ling's temple, and blood sprayed onto the throne, like a scarlet flower blooming in the darkness.

……

【Actor connection lost, performance interrupted】

【Audience expectation value -50】

【Current expectation value: 19%】

【Warning! Warning!】

【Audience starting to intervene in the performance!】

Successive prompts jumped out on the screen. As the spotlight kept lighting up, Chen Ling in the center of the stage slowly opened his eyes.

He looked back and saw that in the screen of the stage curtain, dense red paper began to emerge from his own body, which had already "died" on the throne, as if some existence was already trying to control this body!

At the same time, pitch-black audience figures began to try to climb onto the stage.

However, the 19% expectation value was still too high, like opening the smallest gap for this body. Only a very small part of these audiences' power could extend to the outside world, which was equivalent to the third-rank level, far inferior to Chen Ling's current rank.

Chen Ling on the stage raised his hand gently and grasped the curtain from a distance. The red paper emerging from the body outside was like being grabbed in the air, firmly imprisoned in the air!

After controlling himself outside, the bright red opera robe turned calmly, his cold eyes staring at the many black shadows in front of him, and he didn't mean to stop them at all as they climbed onto the stage one by one.

He said indifferently:

"I want to see..."

"How difficult can the third slaying of the evil be?"
