After working on it for almost three hours, Xiang Yu finally managed to extract a pure yang scripture without all the unnecessary elents. Although it still sounded sowhat inappropriate, this version was the purest form he could achieve. He exhaled deeply to calm himself, determined not to rest now that he had reached his goal. It was ti to derive the yin technique while the montum remained.
As he delved into the yin aspect, Xiang Yu noticed sothing unexpected—the process wasn't nearly as difficult as he had anticipated. This was because, despite the [Midnight Yang Restoration Technique] being primarily yang-focused, it still incorporated yin energy for restoration purposes. Even the na contained "midnight," which naturally inclined toward yin energy. The version he had extracted, the [Midnight Sun Yang thod], still retained this subtle yin aspect.
With this insight guiding him, Xiang Yu concentrated on isolating just the yin energy portion. After rely a few minutes of focused effort, he succeeded:
[Crescent Yin thod]
He could sense it imdiately—this was a pure yin scripture, distinct from the yang thod he had extracted earlier. Surprisingly, this duality presented an advantage. To fuse techniques using his system function, they needed to be compatible. rging pure yin and pure yang would be nearly impossible given their extre opposition, but since the yang thod contained a small yin component, it created a connection point where they could interface, making fusion feasible.
However, Xiang Yu encountered an unexpected revelation. When he discovered these yin and yang thods, he realized his fundantal understanding had been flawed. These weren't elents as he had initially thought—they were more like foundational energies that comprised the elents themselves. Water, for example, contained rich yin energy balanced by slight yang. Disrupting this balance by introducing more yin would transform it into ice. The yin-yang equilibrium ford the very basis of elental composition.
After attempting to rge these energies with other elents, he found it impossible—such a combination would completely destabilize the elental balance. Nevertheless, his efforts weren't wasted. He decided to preserve these techniques, recognizing their potential future utility. Since the yin and yang thods showed compatibility with each other, he proceeded to rge them.
The mont he activated the fusion, Xiang Yu found himself transported to an environnt of extre heat. His entire body seed to burn and evaporate. In the next instant, he plunged into bitter cold, his form crystallizing and fracturing from the intense solidification. He oscillated violently between these polar states, experiencing the absolute extres of both conditions.
After what felt like an eternity, everything suddenly stilled. Xiang Yu found himself standing atop a massive tai chi symbol. To his right extended a burning world of scorching heat; to his left spread a frozen landscape of bitter cold. His body occupied the precise midpoint, simultaneously experiencing both extres. He felt these opposing forces existing within him, but unlike the competing bloodlines that fought for dominance, these extres perfectly balanced each other—harmony erging from opposition.
In the next mont, his eyes opened to a new system notification:
[Divine Ability: Yin-Yang Harmony]
…
Xiang Yu stared at his system interface in disbelief. A completely new section had appeared: Divine Ability. He had never encountered such a classification before, but the na alone suggested it might typically be accessible only to those with divine-level enlightennt or higher—a level well beyond his current capabilities. How had he managed to unlock sothing so profound?
Upon reflection, it made sense. Yin and yang represented the ultimate opposing forces; their successful rger would naturally produce sothing extraordinary. Still, the reality of what he'd accomplished stunned him.
Examining the interface more closely, he noticed the absence of any nurical stats beside this new ability. It wasn't that the divine ability couldn't improve—rather, his enlightennt level was insufficient to accumulate experience points for it. He suspected he couldn't gain even a single point of experience until his enlightennt reached the divine stage.
Despite this limitation, the situation wasn't entirely discouraging. Even with just this initial understanding, Xiang Yu sensed a doorway to an entirely new realm of possibilities opening before him. He raised his hand, activating the fire palm technique. His palm began to glow with a gentle orange light.
In the next mont, Xiang Yu deliberately enhanced the yang energy, pushing it to its extre limit. His arm flared dramatically, blazing brighter than iron in a forge. Concerned about damaging the spirit spring, he quickly stepped out of the water onto the cavern floor.
Approaching a massive boulder, he pressed his incandescent palm against the stone surface. To his amazent, his arm passed through the rock as though it were rely soft plastic, leaving a perfectly smooth hole in its wake. The raw destructive power of extre yang energy exceeded anything he had previously wielded.
Then, he shifted the balance toward the opposite extre, channeling pure yin energy instead. Instantly, the temperature in the entire cavern plumted. Delicate snowflakes materialized from the air, drifting downward in a gentle shower. The boulder he had been touching instantly beca encased in a thick block of ice, frost patterns spreading across its surface like intricate lace.
Just as he was admiring this astonishing display of power, a wave of overwhelming dizziness struck him. His vision blurred, his knees buckled, and he collapsed against the ice-encased boulder.
…
When consciousness returned, Xiang Yu found himself still slumped against the frozen rock. The ice had barely lted, suggesting he had been unconscious for only minutes. Yet when he checked the system reset countdown, he discovered it was already dawn. Nearly two hours had passed, yet the ice remained almost perfectly preserved.
He had rely used the fire palm—a technique naturally abundant in yang energy. What might happen if he channeled extre yin through his ice palm technique? The potential seed limitless.
Reality quickly tempered his enthusiasm, however. The divine ability exacted a trendous cost—just seconds of use had rendered him unconscious for hours. How could such a technique be practically applied in combat if it left him completely vulnerable afterward?
Still, Xiang Yu refused to dismiss the ability as useless. He summoned his Abyssal Void Fla, watching as the dark energy materialized above his palm. During the yin-yang fusion process, he had gained unexpected insights into this fla's composition. He now suspected it contained a dark elent, or at least components of one.
A bold hypothesis ford in his mind: if he could extract this dark elent, then use his new Yin-Yang Harmony divine ability to reverse it, couldn't he potentially generate both light and dark elents? This would complete his elental collection, granting him mastery over every fundantal energy.
His eyes narrowed with determination as he gazed into the swirling darkness of the fla.
"Well," he whispered to himself, "there's only one way to find out..."

Author's Corner:
I didn't want to reveal a divine ability this early on. But when two extres like these, which are kinda like fundantal rules, if i made them sacred grade, it would be a huge nerf and I'd have to adjust other aspects. It was better to just have it as a divine ability and remove the ability to advance. (the zero exp is not nerfing Xiang Yu, as he said, he lacks enough enlightennt to even get a single point. He was just lucky I guess)
What do you guys think? Did I cook or nah?
