Chapter 135: Drawing a Large Tube of Blood from Hu Liena

Finally, Jerry couldn't be bothered to dawdle with Yan anymore, so he brought Hu Liena to the Research Department.

"Jerry, what exactly do you want me for?" Hu Liena asked.

"There's something I need your help with. Hu Liena, let me first tell you about your situation. Your martial soul is a Fairy Fox, which possesses an extremely formidable charm ability. In fact, charm is a type of Spirit Power."

"The Spirit Hall has many records regarding fox martial souls. The Wind Fox, Fire Fox, Ice Attribute Fox, and Thunder Fox are relatively common. There are also a few rarer ones, such as your Fairy Fox, as well as the Light Fox and Darkness Fox. These are the ones that have already been discovered; as for whether there are others, there are no records of them at present."

"One could say that fox martial souls are quite diverse, but their most prominent characteristic is that no matter the attribute of the fox martial soul, their Spirit Power is never weak. You should have tested this yourself, right!"

"I saw in the Spirit Hall's archives that when you first tested, your Spirit Power was 2,800 points, which is higher than many people's."

"Also, what everyone hasn't noticed is that the quality of a fox martial soul is related to its tails. The number of tails is basically ignored, as people only look at the attribute power of the martial soul."

"Your martial soul is called a Fairy Fox, but according to the records of your Cultivation in the Spirit Hall, I discovered that every time you break through, your martial soul grows a new tail. As of now, your martial soul already has seven tails!"

"This situation is not found in other fox martial souls; many start with only one tail, while some have three, and others have six."

"What I want to tell you is that among foxes, the most powerful one is the Nine-Tailed Fairy Fox!"

"I have a book here that I found in the Spirit Hall's library. It contains records of the Nine-Tailed Fairy Fox. Most people think this book is nonsense and only read it to pass the time when they are bored. But I know that this book is highly likely to be true. Otherwise, why do you think the past personnel of the Spirit Hall would specifically include a useless book in the library? People in the past weren't stupid!"

"This book records that the Soul Beast Nine-Tailed Fairy Fox is born like an ordinary fox with only one tail, and it grows a new tail with each breakthrough, up to a maximum of nine. It possesses powerful Spirit Power and excels at using charm."

"With each tail grown, it masters a new attribute. Upon reaching nine tails, it will master Gold, Wood, Water, Fire, Earth, Light, Darkness, Space, and Time."

"Looking at it this way, doesn't it seem powerful and heaven-defying? That's why most people treat this book as light reading and don't take it seriously."

After Jerry finished speaking, he handed the book to Hu Liena. Hu Liena was shocked by what Jerry had said, and she quickly took the book to flip through it.

In fact, Jerry had a purpose in seeking out Hu Liena. The Fairy Queen had previously said that those with low bloodlines transform into humans, and no matter how you look at it, the Nine-Tailed Fairy Fox bloodline cannot be low. The appearance of such a martial soul should be a phenomenon of bloodline atavism, so Jerry wanted to study it.

Bloodline atavism is not such a simple matter; the prerequisite is that the ancestor's bloodline must be very powerful for the probability of bloodline atavism to occur.

Otherwise, if the ancestor's bloodline is not powerful and the descendant's bloodline mutates and becomes stronger, it will only devour the ancestor's bloodline rather than reverting to it.

As for mutation, a change for the better is called evolution, and a change for the worse is called devolution; these mutations are uncontrollable. There are too many variables involved, relating to bloodlines, genes, and the like. In his past life, so many people failed to research human genetic optimization, and Jerry felt that he couldn't possibly research it either.

There were several considerations for calling Hu Liena over. First, to see if he could have Hu Liena learn knowledge of Soul Guidance Devices and become a Soul Guidance Master. Second, Jerry wanted to test if Hu Liena could condense a Spirit Ring herself. After all, Tang San's fifth Spirit Ring was condensed into a growth-type Spirit Ring by activating his bloodline with the help of the Blue Silver King. In Jerry's view, the Blue Silver Emperor bloodline wasn't even fit to tie the shoes of the Nine-Tailed Fairy Fox bloodline!

The book recording the Soul Beast Nine-Tailed Fairy Fox did not have many words, and by this time, Hu Liena had already finished reading it.

Then she looked up at Jerry.

"Jerry, if my martial soul really is a Nine-Tailed Fairy Fox, does that mean my previous Cultivation direction was wrong!"

"Yes, after all, this type of martial soul is too rare, and there isn't much recorded data. However, your situation is not bad; you have always absorbed Spirit Rings from fox-type Soul Beasts, it's just that you haven't activated your bloodline yet!"

"How do I activate my bloodline?"

"Energy and faith!"

"I know about energy, but what is this faith?"

"I know that the method to activate the bloodline is energy and faith. However, powerful Soul Beasts basically have one characteristic: they are solitary. So, I think there might be other ways to activate your bloodline!"

"Is that so?"

"Hmm, a powerful bloodline can even condense its own Spirit Ring."

"Condense its own Spirit Ring?"

"Can you give me a drop of your blood? I originally wanted to use hair, but since your bloodline isn't activated yet, blood is better!"

Upon hearing that Jerry needed blood, Hu Liena immediately became cautious.

"You aren't going to do anything bad, are you?" Hu Liena asked.

"What bad thing could I do with your blood? Besides, once blood leaves the body, what else can it do!"

"Alright then!"

Jerry then took out a syringe, the kind used in the countryside to give injections to livestock.

"Jerry, what are you taking that out for? Didn't you say you only needed a drop of blood?"

"I have to do an experiment anyway, so drawing a tube isn't much. Besides, human blood is renewable; drawing a little out is actually good for the body!"

"You!"

While Hu Liena was still thinking about how to answer Jerry, Jerry relied on his precise control to stick the needle directly into the blood vessel in Hu Liena's arm and began to draw blood, his movements smooth and fluid.

By the time Hu Liena reacted, the blood had already been drawn.

Don't ask why he didn't disinfect it; he was in a hurry. The needle had been disinfected beforehand. He then cast a Healing spell on Hu Liena's arm, and the needle hole disappeared. It shouldn't get infected, right!

"Now, let's start verifying your bloodline. You can come over and take a look!"

"By the way, eat more blood-nourishing food recently."

Then, without waiting for Hu Liena to speak, Jerry ran off with the syringe.

Hu Liena followed Jerry to a Spirit Ring manufacturing machine. She saw Jerry drip a drop of blood onto the material slot—a very small drop.

It made Hu Liena want to beat Jerry up; he used such a tiny amount but drew a whole tube.

Then Jerry started the Spirit Ring manufacturing machine.

Slowly, a Spirit Ring generated on it.

"Starting to inject energy. Do you wish to set the energy injection unit!" an electronic voice came.

"Do not set it, inject to the limit!"

"Confirmed, starting to inject energy!"

As energy was injected into the Spirit Ring, the Spirit Ring began to change: white, yellow, purple, black.

Under Jerry's gaze, the Spirit Ring did not turn red and finally stopped at black.

"Spirit Ring generation complete. Unknown Spirit Ring, age 73,654 years. Do you wish to upload it to the Spirit Hall database?"

"Do not upload!"

Hu Liena looked at the Spirit Ring in front of her, completely stunned. Her own bloodline could actually generate a Spirit Ring; she wasn't a Soul Beast, so what was going on with this bloodline? Her mind was full of questions that needed Jerry to answer.

"Hu Liena, what level is your soul power Cultivation at!" Jerry asked.

"Level 73! Is there a problem!"

"This is highly problematic. Look, you are currently level 73, and your generated Spirit Ring is 73,654 years old. In reality, your cultivation should be level 73.654; it's just that everyone usually prefers to use whole numbers! I have a machine here that tests soul power, accurate to three decimal places. Try it and you will see."

Hu Liena tried it, and the level reported was indeed 73.654.

Suddenly, Jerry said loudly, "This isn't right, this isn't right!"
