Chapter 369: Trepidation

First off. Lets go through the ancestral memories youve collected.Ñøv€lRapture marked the initial hosting of this chapter on Ñôv€lß¡n.

Guan Zhenyan led him through re-examining each of the techniques that were passed down in Ancestral Memories through each of his merges. When Guan Zhenyan saw the techniques he was actually impressed, Wow, you were quite lucky werent you. I was thinking Spirit Power is your strong point, but I was wrong. Its only a shame Im not a Soul Cultivator or you would be the perfect inheritor.

Sage had thought the same as soon as he first merged with the Twin Ringed Soul Serpent. While it wasnt a very powerful beast, its innate abilities were truly unique and combined with the Insect Immortal Index, had been the main reason he could survive to this day. Guan Zhenyan finished his search and Sage felt a sort of mental confirmation that they could move on to the main event. Sage dispelled his reservations and initiated the Chrysalis process just as he had a few times in the past. Normally, he would have spun himself a cocoon or dug a burrow to protect himself during the transformation process, but Guan Zhenyan told him to skip that step to save time and avoid any interference. Sage got his assurance that the man would protect him.

Ahh, here we go. Now, just take your time and examine each and every one of these bloodlines youve collected. Dont worry about any possible changes for now, lets just see what youre working with first.

Sage sorted through the different bloodlines, their physical features and abilities, as well as the creatures they were descended from. Guan Zhenyan was constantly paying attention, examining each of the bloodlines as Sage did. At that moment he felt like he was back on Earth, playing a game. Guan Zhenyan was the friend looking over his shoulder and was soon going to give him advice on what he should spend skill points on.

Guan Zhenyan led him on a more thorough search, trying to restore parts of the ancestral abilities to see if any of them were worth going after. Sage wasnt sure if his luck before was good or his luck now was bad, but there werent any standout abilities that they could easily restore. All they found was a fire breathing ability in the Fire Crested Iguana line. They did learn an interesting tidbit about the origin of the golden egg that hatched Ruanfu. The egg had come from a Myriad Wyrm, descended from a line of White Dragons. It was specifically an offspring of the Rainbow Serpent and Luck Dragon. A hybrid creature that had grown into a race of its own, they were famous for their power to split their soul, hence the title of myriad. The particular egg Ruanfu was born from was a very weak bloodline of its species, which explained why it had never hatched. Sage didnt have enough Body Power to restore any of the abilities of the Rainbow Serpent or Luck Dragon.

Now that Guan Zhenyan had explored all of his skill trees, he started to outline a few builds that Sage could pursue. Or at least, thats how Sage thought of it. Guan Zhenyan was still linked to his mind, so he got to experience the strange thought process as well. When he mentioned how odd it was Sage grew fearful his origin would be discovered, but then he remembered their mental link didnt share memories. He calmed himself down and Guan Zhenyan just took it as him being an oddity. In fact, Guan Zhenyan simply started using the terms himself.

First off, the decision to specialize or generalize. Of course that is in itself a generalization. Everyone will specialize in one weapon or technique over others, and also generalize to some extent in their defenses. Without specialization, the end result is merely muddy water. Sure, it can slake thirst, but nobody will choose it over other options. You are a good example. While versatile, it cant compare to someone who focused all their effort on a single overwhelming area.

Sage tried not to feel insulted, but there was still a tinge of animosity that would always happen when receiving criticism. Guan Zhenyan would of course notice, but he didnt even make mention of it, On the other hand, a specialist can be extremely powerful and overwhelming in their area of expertise. The downside of course being when they run into something their specialty cant defeat, or an enemy that targets one of their many weaknesses. So, we see that the truly strong blur the lines between the two concepts.

Since they were currently in the middle of Sages Chrysalis process, they focused on his physical body for now. Guan Zhenyan laid out a few ideas and Sage couldnt help but to label them with gaming terms almost instantly. He was eager to get started and pick the one that seemed most exciting, but the problem was that if he chose the wrong build then he might not have the correct techniques to support his new choice. It would be a tricky thing to make the most optimal combination of physical abilities, Qi techniques, Heavenly materials, and also future growth. On the other hand, he could always just use Chrysalis again. Even if he lost a few years of progress, he would just have to consider it as a respec cost.

So then, shall I choose Tank, DPS, Controller, Assassin, or Ultimate Speed?
