Chapter 2187

Guan Zhiyong distributed to all the lords of the Binghe main army, while Yao Feng distributed to the lords of the White Tiger Corps excluding the Binghe main army.

Early morning that day.

As usual, Zhao Chi drained all the women completely.

Finally he lay on Li Ruanyu's bed, ready to sleep.

Li Ruanyu had long since fallen asleep exhausted in his arms, but Zhao Chi did not fall asleep right away.

Instead, he continued to nurture the bloodline sprout first.

Now this bloodline sprout was already the size of a watermelon.

Zhao Chi had seen many bloodlines, but never any bloodline this large.

Basically humanoid bloodlines were all the size of a ping-pong ball; only giant beastfolk and giant demons would be watermelon-sized.

Regardless, keep nurturing it.

He slowly gathered the bloodline energy absorbed today in his hand, then channeled it into the bloodline sprout.

The bloodline sprout immediately absorbed it all.

Soon, all the energy was completely consumed.

Zhao Chi was about to pull back and throw himself into Li Ruanyu's arms to sleep, when the sprout suddenly began to shrink.

Colored light scattered in all directions.

Li Ruanyu felt the bright light, gave a soft hum, and curled into the crook of Zhao Chi's arm to continue sleeping.

The colored light continued.

The sprout grew smaller and smaller.

After several seconds, the bloodline sprout returned to the size of a ping-pong ball.

Zhao Chi simultaneously received a prompt:

【Your "Primordial Taoyuan Race Bloodline Sprout" has grown into a "Primordial Taoyuan Race Bloodline"】

It's done already!?

This finished bloodline's colors were even more vivid than the sprout's.

The seven colors were distinctly separated, almost like clear dividing lines.

Each color's saturation was extremely high.

It looked like a Taoyuan woman — gorgeous and enchanting.

Not bad.

In total, it absorbed a full 10 points of Taoyuan bloodline energy, plus all of Zhao Chi's spiritual power over these past days.

This progress was a bit faster than Zhao Chi had imagined.

Perhaps because it was feeding on energy of its own race, as well as the spiritual power of Zhao Chi, this bloodline's master.

So its growth speed was extremely fast.

Regardless, the bloodline was complete.

Then...

Break it down!

The genes decomposed would all be Taoyuan race genes.

Then they could be directly stacked and upgraded.

Click to activate!

【You have activated "Primordial Taoyuan Race Bloodline." Please choose a use direction】

【1. Set as Primary Race】

【2. Decompose into Improvement Points】

【3. Decompose into Improvement Genes】

【4. Strengthen Taoyuan Race】

Huh?

Why is there an extra option?

Zhao Chi had decomposed so many bloodlines, yet this was the first time he had seen this fourth option.

And the option clearly stated: Strengthen Taoyuan Race.

The targeting was too obvious.

"Mm... what's wrong, Zhao Chi?"

Li Ruanyu slowly woke up, feeling a lingering rhythm between her legs.

Zhao Chi told her what he had discovered.

Li Ruanyu rubbed her eyes: "Can it directly strengthen the Taoyuan race?"

"Right, can other race bloodlines do this? For example, your race is the Human race — if you obtained a Human race bloodline, could it do the same?"

"Of course not."

Li Ruanyu gently pressed on Zhao Chi's chest to push herself up, and sat beside Zhao Chi with her legs together.

"I've bought Human race bloodlines before too, including both ordinary and primordial bloodlines, and none of them had this fourth option — you can only decompose them and improve based on the genes that come out."

Zhao Chi nodded: "Then this one really is quite special."

"Mm, maybe it's because you're the Bloodline Master of the Taoyuan? I haven't heard of this situation either, so I can only guess that."

"Indeed. No matter, it's a good thing anyway. No time to worry about the source and reason — let's choose the fourth one and see."

Li Ruanyu smiled: "Yes, tell me about it later too, I'm curious as well."

Zhao Chi directly clicked to share the message interface.

"This way you can see it in real time."

"Mm, good."

Zhao Chi lay on Li Ruanyu's lap and clicked to select the fourth option.

【4. Strengthen Taoyuan Race】

A new prompt arrived:

【Race Strengthening Selected】

【Will randomly strengthen 1 item among "Basic Data," "Basic Attributes," "Branch Attributes," and "All Genes"】

【Items previously strengthened cannot be strengthened again】

【Confirm?】

So this is how the strengthening works?

It even includes basic attributes?

That means even basic things like strength and agility can be strengthened?

If it really can strengthen them, that's still pretty good.

But for genes, gaining 1 point of basic attribute doesn't necessarily seem better than a new gene, right?

Zhao Chi asked Li Ruanyu.

Li Ruanyu shook her head: "This really is the first time I've seen this kind of interface. I haven't even heard of it before. But you're right—genes are usually better than basic attributes. For example, compared to gaining 1 point of strength, over-limit load is clearly better."

Zhao Chi nodded: "Yeah… so by that logic, this kind of strengthening is actually worse than breaking it down into genes. After all, the original bloodline can be broken down into 2-6 genes."

Li Ruanyu nodded: "Pure analysis does say that, but this strengthening doesn't say it can only raise 1 point of basic attribute—only that it strengthens 1 of the items."

"Huh? You don't mean it could strengthen multiple attributes?"

Li Ruanyu frowned slightly: "That I'm not sure about, but the strengthening even includes strengthening branch attributes. If it really could only strengthen 1 point of branch attribute, that would just be far too weak, so I don't think it would be that weak, right?"

Zhao Chi nodded: "That makes sense…"

Li Ruanyu continued: "Look at the first item—it can strengthen basic data. I think this one has a lot to say. For example, appearance, lifespan, the number of people added each day—these are all basic data. Can they all be strengthened?"

Zhao Chi opened the Taoyuan Race information.
