A lake lay before my eyes. Dead branches and decaying leaves floated on its surface, water moss, and tower moss filled the space, turning the entire lake green and aquamarine. He wandered freely within it. This did not cause any panic for Jason, who had experience with the Griffin Body Refinement Technique. He knew it was a necessary process. A process that conditioned the muscles, bones, and heart to adapt to the Body Forging Technique. Or more accurately: transformation! A powerful transformation that strengthened the body. Its sharp claws grabbed onto the back of the giant crocodile, sparking a shower of sparks as several hard scales shattered and flew off, leaving the crocodile's back instantly mangled and bloody.. The suddenly attacked crocodile bore the pain, swung its tail, and smashed it straight into the griffin that was about to take flight, immediately sending feathers flying and a heavy thud reverberated. The griffin rolled and soared again, circling back and forth with an eagle's sharp gaze. In a low growl, the giant crocodile raised its head to stare at the griffin, opened its mouth wide, and revealed teeth comparable to daggers. The two monsters collided. Without backing down! Fighting to the death without retreat! And at this moment, Jason finally discovered that in the corner of the heart where it should have been, the Dufol Language representing the "Prus Body Refinement Technique" changed from Em mm to Em mm mm! Moreover, this group of Dufol Language symbols floated from the corner of the heart directly to the core of the heart. There, were the three Dufol Language symbols representing the "Griffin Body Refinement Technique" Si Wl Vc and the three symbols for "Protection Against Evil" sI oT Yn. The two groups of symbols had already integrated, and naturally they joined forces against the intruder at this time. But the Dufol Language representing the "Prus Body Refinement Technique" was so forceful that it was difficult for Jason to believe. The three symbols Em mm mm were like the giant crocodile on the ground, relentlessly biting at the other two groups of symbols, refusing to back down even when beaten to pieces. And in this confrontation— Jason's heart began to burst time and time again. The Dufol Language representing the "Prus Body Refinement Technique" changed. The gaps between them disappeared. They turned into: Emmmm! Then, a suffix appeared: EX! When this suffix appeared, the two monsters inside Jason suddenly stopped their struggle. The dark golden griffin, like the eternal night. The giant crocodile, however, was clad in dawn, like the early morning light. Two entities that should have no connection, at this moment, became integrally linked. They approached each other. They circled each other. They fused with each other. [Integration of Griffin Body Refinement Technique and Prus Body Refinement Technique in progress...] [Integration failed!] [Jason resurrected, integration re-evaluation in progress...] [Integration failed!] [Jason resurrected, integration re-evaluation in progress...] [Integration failed!] A series of death notifications appeared before Jason's eyes. The satiation level was dropping at a visible rate. Having experienced death 23 times, Jason was not in the slightest bit panicked. Why did he always ensure he had 30 lives? Wasn't it precisely because he feared encountering the situation he currently faced? Now he still had 7+ lives. Jason had considerable confidence. With the increasing number of deaths, He became experienced with death. He could feel that everything was changing for the better. Indeed, that was the case. After two more consecutive deaths, everything became peaceful. [Integration of Griffin Body Refinement Technique and Prus Body Refinement Technique in progress...] [Integration successful!] [You have obtained the Prus-Griffon Body Forging Technique!] [Prus-Griffon Body Forging Technique (Proficiency): You have combined the core secret techniques of the griffin school with those of the Prus Family to make them uniquely yours; they become one of a kind, as the connection between night and dawn is unique. As the wielder, you are just as unique; Effect: Strength +0.5, Agility +0.4, Constitution +0.5 (Base, Beginner, Proficient, and Proficiency Level as well as Strength and Constitution 'Prus' extra +0.1), Physical Strength recovery speed +15%, Energy recovery speed +10%, Injury recovery speed +10%, Bullet-level defense, when jumping, Strength and Agility evaluation +0.3; underwater, an additional 45 minutes of breath extended, Stealth and Concealment level +1] (Note: The special method of cultivation makes it extraordinary, and increasingly specialized. The level of the Griffin Body Refinement Technique cannot exceed that of the "Protection Against Evil".) [Evaluation of fundamental changes to Griffin Body Refinement Technique and innate talent in progress...] [You have obtained the inherent talents 'Embrace of the Night' and 'Sword of the Dawn'] [Embrace of the Night: A special talent combined with the Night Watcher and the Griffin Body Refinement Technique, its emergence is an accident; When you are also within the night, darkness, or shadows, you will receive an added bonus of +2 levels to Stealth and Concealment, and the recovery speed of Physical Strength, Energy, and Injuries at +3%, with additional defenses +1 level against shadow and negative energy erosion] [Sword of the Dawn: A treasure of the dawn hidden within the giant crocodile, it was meant to be buried in the shadows of history, but you have unearthed it once again; at the break of dawn, by charging for 3 seconds, you can create a 10-meter long Sword of the Dawn to execute an explosive-level slash, consuming a great deal of your Physical Strength] In the night sky, a faint light began to emerge. That was the radiance of dawn. A dark golden griffin that had grown even larger spread its wings and soared, its dark gold no longer derived from feathers but from scales, tough scales; with each flap of its broad flesh wings, it whipped up a gust of wind. It started its journey from the night sky, in pursuit of the brilliance of the dawn. Then, it directly merged into Jason's heart.
