Ji Xinghuo was surprised in his heart, according to the rules he had deduced, the higher the fusion success rate, the more suitable it was for him, which could be understood as the recommendation index of the Wanxiang Star Pupil.
The highest up to now was the Rotating Magnetic Field at 99%!
After the fusion, he found that the Rotating Magnetic Field was indeed a perfect fit for him.
So, what would happen with a 100% fusion success rate? Could Ether Sensitivity be more formidable than the Rotating Magnetic Field? It’s just a high-quality ability.
Ji Xinghuo was somewhat baffled.
He thought about it and then wondered, does this Ether Sensitivity on my hand have something special about it?
Its most notable feature is that it naturally arises. However, countries and organizations on Earth, and ability research institutions, have conducted countless studies on abilities and have never heard that abilities coming from different sources would be any different.
Ji Xinghuo noticed the last line of text on the interface.
He suddenly understood. This Ether Sensitivity could be upgraded!
As far as he knew, the effects of Ether Sensitivity had always been fixed, and to date, no one had discovered how to train it. The only way was through stimulation during life evolution, where there was a very small probability of advancing to a higher-grade ability.
Not just Ether Sensitivity, many abilities had the possibility of advancing during life evolution.
But it was a low-probability event.
Above Ether Sensitivity and one level higher is "Ether Affinity," a Transcendent-grade ability.
Above Ether Affinity is "Ether Resonance," which is a Starfall Level ability!
"Perhaps I should try fusing this Ether Sensitivity?"
Ji Xinghuo’s mind raced, but his face remained impassive. He handed the Alien Species to Jiangnan Caiyi to be stored in a special alien species container and said, "I’m a bit interested in Ether Sensitivity. Don’t sell it when we get back, because it might be my next fusion with an Alien Species."
Ren Mian was somewhat puzzled, "Why do you want to fuse Ether Sensitivity?"
She remembered that neither the Ranger nor the Magnetic Field Madman had Ether Sensitivity in their professional templates.
"Just a thought," explained Ji Xinghuo casually, "I want to improve my strength faster, and if I can get an expansion artifact, it’s also a pretty good choice to fuse Ether Sensitivity at the Primary Level."
Chi Zhonglin suddenly laughed, "Then you’ll be like me, an occupation-less Mutant."
Ji Xinghuo was taken aback, "It seems like it."
If he really fused Ether Sensitivity, then his three abilities, each from different professional templates, would make him a standard occupation-less Mutant.
"Being an occupation-less Mutant is great!"
Chi Zhonglin warmly draped an arm over Ji Xinghuo’s shoulders, "Unrestricted by professional templates, completely free, fuse with whatever ability you want. The two of us brothers, exploring the path of life evolution together, might even create a whole new set of professional templates in the future."
Ji Xinghuo had nothing to say in response; he didn’t think that way.
The four searched the cave twice carefully, making sure nothing was overlooked.
Ren Mian walked to the cave entrance and looked outside, then turned back and said, "It’ll be Star Night soon, we’ll camp here tonight and head back to Olympia tomorrow."
The ground in this cave was very dry, and aside from some dirt and weeds, there wasn’t much filth, which was a lot better than the environment on the ground in Peak Valley, and it was also sufficiently hidden and safe.
The team members readily agreed.
While everyone else was setting up tents and arranging plant defenses, Ji Xinghuo climbed back to the mountain top, shot a few large birds perched on trees, swiftly removed their feathers and innards, and also collected a few bundles of firewood. He then returned to the cave and handed them to Jiangnan Caiyi for cooking.
After gobbling up a meal of barbecued birds, the outside had already turned dark.
It was still early before true nightfall, Ji Xinghuo went up to the mountain top to admire the Star Night and enjoy the cool breeze.
The light of the Galaxy poured down.
As far as the eye could see, under the reflection of the Galaxy, one majestic and breathtaking peak after another was enveloped in a faint silvery light tinged with a bit of blue. He felt as if he were in the midst of the starry river, and every star in the sky seemed to be winking at him. This dreamlike experience was something he would never forget for a lifetime.
Ji Xinghuo lay back on a grassy patch, hands pillow his head, legs crossed, and he hummed softly: "Twinkle, twinkle, little star, how I wonder what pulsars are..."
Chi Zhonglin, who had just climbed up, suddenly felt speechless upon hearing the lyrics.
He had come up to take photos.
But after snapping a couple, he realized they weren’t suitable; the film camera demanded too much from the exposure, and Star Night didn’t have the same visibility as the daytime, so he couldn’t capture the effect he wanted.
If he used a disposable flash, it was like shouting to the monsters within a few kilometers: I’m here!
Chi Zhonglin walked a lap around the mountain top and found nothing.
In the end, he lay down next to Ji Xinghuo, looking up at the countless stars and the Galaxy, and he suddenly exclaimed, "If the Star Realm were a safe place, how wonderful that would be!"
Without turning his head, Ji Xinghuo took a while to reply, "That would take a lot of the fun out of it."
"True..." nodded Chi Zhonglin, "Without the magical birthplace of the Star Realm, we wouldn’t have had supernatural powers."
Then the two fell silent for a while.
"Xinghuo, how many siblings do you have?" Chi Zhonglin asked again.
"I’ve got one more than you," Chi Zhonglin said, "Our family has six brothers and sisters, three boys and three girls. We were very happy since we were kids. It’s a pity that everyone is grown up now, not as simple as when we were children, we all have our own work and lives, and our feelings for each other have gradually faded."
Ji Xinghuo turned his head to look at him, "You can keep in touch with your family more."
"It’s no use," Chi Zhonglin sighed, "Actually, apart from me, the relations among the other siblings are quite good."
