High Above

"You need me... to help?"

Ian was slightly stunned. Even a prophet couldn't know everything. He didn't see anything wrong with Isengard. The flow of his essence in the precognitive vision was very stable. Although there were some occasional bursts, this It can only prove that his advancement was very successful.

But since my friend said it, I have to go and help no matter what - some people feel chest tightness and shortness of breath after a severe cold. Regardless of whether it is pneumonia or not, you have to go for a CT scan to feel at ease. It can be regarded as a placebo effect.

"Did it grow abnormal tissue?"

Although he knew it was impossible, Ian still stood up immediately and walked to the laboratory. He joked: "If this is really the case, then I may not be professional enough. I have to ask the song competition master to take a look." Or let Anfa and His Highness Carlos go find the biological alchemist."

"teacher……"

Hearing this, Isengard looked at Master Gesai on the other side. His lake-green eyes looked into each other's eyes, and he nodded slightly.

The old man narrowed his eyes. He seemed to understand what happened, so he nodded and said, "I understand."

However, he did not get up and follow Ian there. Instead, he stopped the white-haired boy and said, "Ian, don't tell me or talk to me about the problems you discover later."

The hunchbacked old man put his body in the soft chair. He looked up at the flickering lights on the ceiling: "I can't know these things. If I see it, I will know the truth... People who know the truth cannot express themselves. Like people who don’t know, there will be flaws.”

"It's just like you, Ian. Because of your prophetic ability, you know too much, so you don't know the patterns of ordinary people's actions. Therefore, even though you are so smart, you will reveal flaws that you shouldn't."

"...I understand."

Ian paused, nodded, and continued walking into the laboratory.

Anfa and Xio were sitting on the other side. The elf girl's long hair was hanging down on one side like a green waterfall, while the red-haired dragon girl rested her head on Anfa's shoulder happily, playing with each other's hair with her fingers. , as if it contains a huge secret.

"It seems...the Ellen family has quite a lot of problems."

The elf girl let her friend play with her hair, and she looked thoughtfully in the direction of the laboratory.

Everyone can understand that behind Ian, Isengard and Master Gosei, there must be a huge secret about the empire and the Ellen family... She can know it and take the initiative to help them. By making a small contribution to the Lord's team, you can become a closer friend.

but not now. Anfa had a hunch that if he went there now, not only would he not be able to help, but he would actually cause trouble.

Some things, you only need to know the surface...you can't go deep before a certain time.

【Xio】

Using Dragon Soul to communicate softly, Anfa patted Xio on the head: [Do you see anything wrong? 】

【Um? 】

Xio raised her head and looked in the direction of the laboratory. The door and walls could not block her sight at all, so the dragon girl's eyes were directly locked on the two people in the laboratory: [No. No problem? 】

Having said that, she sat up straight, stretched, and then muttered: [Okay, something happened to Ethan, but it's much better than mine - the changes in him are not even aberrations, they are completely benign. , a specially designed additional sublimation module! 】

[Although I can’t quite figure it out, it’s basically a purely good thing. So nervous...]

After saying that, she lay down directly, pillowed on Anfa's lap, and continued to play with Anfa's hair enthusiastically, like a cat playing with a ball of yarn.

【...That's it. 】

Anfa reached out and scratched Xio's chin, and she whispered to herself: [You can tell. But remember not to tell anyone. 】

【of course! 】Xio shook his head comfortably: 【Even when I was caught by the group of people from Lingzhiyuan, I didn’t say anything. I’m so strict with my mouth! 】

[This is not something to show off, so don’t get caught stupidly next time]

[There is nothing I can do. What I originally had to deal with at that time was Feiyandi. Who knew that there was also an ambush from the Lingzhi Academy...]

Master Gesai also turned his head and looked at the two dragon soul holders.

He could see that Anfa and Xiou had already glimpsed the surface, but they did not go deeper because of politeness.

There is no need to mention Anfa... Although Xiou looks stupid, in fact, she is not stupid at all.

She just relaxes, it doesn't matter... Many issues that humans need to be vigilant and worried about don't exist at all for real dragons. Even a spiritual weapon that could hurt a half-dragon soul like Anfa couldn't really hurt Xiou, so she didn't need to be serious or think, it was like her head was empty and smooth.

But when needed, she can show far more sensitivity than imagined.

After all...if humans could possess this kind of power, then humans wouldn't even need to make tools, and they wouldn't even need to cooperate to form families and societies.

In addition, the real dragon is extremely smart... Xiou looks naive on the surface, just because she can see the truth of the matter at a glance and does not need to think about too many other possibilities.

The contradiction between the blood of the ten kings? The order of the World Tree Capital? Disputes and conflicts between major powers?

Isn’t it possible to see the essence of everything at a glance? There is no such thing as a perfect long hair without any branches. I can learn more about this structure. She also wants to have long hair like this next time!

——The power of the real dragon is too strong, even its wisdom.

Lowering his eyes, the old man let out a long sigh in his heart: "What kind of life will a true dragon turn into in the future? A giant dragon that does not need other companions and lives alone to guard the treasure may seem primitive, but in fact it has the power to control many things. The highest power and knowledge..."

"That's all. That's something far, far away in the future."

Let’s not talk about the interludes within Ian’s small group.

When Ian accepted Isengard's invitation and entered the laboratory, he could only see the back of his friend.

The blond boy had his back to Ian, his left hand was on his forehead, and his right hand was unbuttoning his shirt, taking off the innermost white shirt, showing his back to Ian.

"What happened to your bloodline?"

Ian was not surprised by this scene. When he wanted to determine the inheritance and development of the Pioneer of Steel, he often entrusted Adelbert to conduct comprehensive tests on himself: "There are no abnormal tissue bulges on your back, nor any I have seen abnormal Essence derivatives, and so far I have not seen any skin or muscle tissue abnormalities caused by the growth of Essence. This is a very successful and even less painful advancement."

"Is it a bone? It doesn't look like it. Although I can't see the inside of the flesh and blood, I don't see any disharmony or dislocation."

The blood potion is different from the true form, especially the blood of the nobles.

The first generation of bloodline sublimators are essentially the same as the true form sublimators. They are built entirely according to the sublimated organs of Warcraft. They also need to take complete potions, endure pain, and endure the changes in the body caused by the source material structure.

But the noble bloodline does not need to be combined or forcibly connected. They don't even need to reshape the source organs in the body one after another. Instead, they 'develop' based on the bloodline seeds in the body.

For example, what the first-generation bloodline and true form need is to lay bricks and mortar, dig the foundation and solidify it, while the second-generation aristocratic bloodline needs to water and fertilize, adjust the body shape to adapt to the bloodline, and control Temperature, humidity, etc., ensure that the seeds can germinate and grow vigorously.

If the tree grown from the seeds is not straight or has forks, then the potion needs to be adjusted to repair and correct it - this is the true meaning of the blood potion.

Fertilization and correction.

Of course, this process will also be painful, but it is more of a feeling of growth, a chest tightness similar to the growth of ribs or the movement of internal organs like gastrointestinal peristalsis. Occasionally, there may be something similar to returning a dislocated bone to its original position. It's painful, but compared to the real potion that most of the time causes trigeminal neuralgia that exceeds the pain in the whole body, it's really very gentle.

After using the promotion potion to accelerate the development of the internal organs, you can start to stabilize the source of matter. Isengard had spent the previous five hours carefully ensuring that his sublimated organs did not grow crooked until they were fully formed before they could move freely.

Ian can also confirm that there is no problem in this regard.

But now it seems that there is something else abnormal.

"...it's nerves."

After a moment of silence, Ethan, who had his back to Ian, said softly: "My bloodline, after I chose the direction of advancement... had an abnormality that was too 'good'."

After saying this, Ian saw it.

Isengard's back lit up with large golden lines!

No, it's not so much a pattern as it is a flame... Something is glowing under Isengard's skin. The fair skin of the blond boy cannot block the brilliance of this source, and the bright golden light patterns shine through. The blood vessels and muscles make strange lines appear one after another on its back.

Even Ian couldn't help but be startled after seeing this light. He suddenly thought of something, and a look of disbelief appeared on his face: "This is your nervous system?!"

"Yes."

Isengard's voice was calm. He turned his back to Ian. He seemed to have expected it, but his tone was low: "What I originally wanted to choose was the second-level exclusive ability 'Neural Extension'... This power can Let me freely control all things soaked in my blood, whether it is weapons, vehicles or combat equipment such as armor, I can control them like my own body, and even strengthen them."

"But when I catalyzed the growth of my bloodline seeds, I found that the speed of my nervous system's sublimation... was too fast."

For ordinary nobles, if bloodline seeds cannot develop and thrive under the stimulation of magic potions, then they must spend money to make magic potions to continuously stimulate them. This is why it is difficult for those who are not nobles to follow the bloodline path. The reason is that if the true form doesn't work, it won't work. If it works, it will end. Although bloodline guarantees stability, this stability needs to be accumulated by a large amount of wealth.

quick? Almost right! The slower the growth, the lower the integration of the bloodline, and the more resources need to be consumed! Even if you are a great noble, the first and second levels are fine at first, but when you reach the third level, you cannot withstand the consumption of a large amount of magic medicine. It is simply a bottomless pit.

But obviously, Isengard was shocked by this 'abnormal speed'... and even feared!

"That's not my power!"

As if he could sense Ian's thoughts, Isengard raised his voice slightly, with a hint of fearful caution in his voice: "Ian, can you understand? Although my talent is good, it cannot be compared to With you, it is impossible to sublimate the whole nervous system in just one or two hours - in fact, my goal this time is just to let my spiritual nerves spread inside my brain and spinal cord. It takes a long time to practice and it will take several years to be completed slowly.”

"But... just in the past few hours... I have finished it all!"

At this moment, the golden source of light has swept across Isengard's body. This source of light even made the lights in the laboratory become a little dim, and on the young man's back, one after another bright golden light pattern neural network It was spreading, gradually spreading, until it penetrated his whole body!

Densely packed... If Ian had to describe it, it would be like being on a plane at night, overlooking the lights of a super metropolis!

The transformation of their descendants by noble blood will actually make them completely different from ordinary humans, or even two different creatures.

The stronger the bloodline, the more it will transform the natural body... Whether it is the distribution of nerves in the body, the shape of the bones, the arrangement of the internal organs, and the relationship between the muscles, they are all completely different.

Just like Isengard, his blood is so viscous and dexterous that he can control it freely. This means that the blood vessels and heart in his body are extremely strong, and the Ellen family has indeed taken out the blood vessels in his body and turned them into long swords to fight with people. For example, their bones are different from those of ordinary humans. They are very flexible and strong, almost like cartilage but extremely strong, allowing them to easily simulate various deformations... and even cause erosion and parasitism.

As for the neural network, it is definitely a very important part of the transformation, but the second-level neural transformation can never be so exaggerated!

"I can understand."

Slowly walking forward, Ian picked up the observation eyepiece from the experimental table nearby. He approached Isengard and carefully used the eyepiece to observe the neural network on the other person's back: "This is obviously Axel, your grandfather's. Part of the plan.”

"As you grow, the bloodline in your body begins to change. This is definitely not the normal bloodline advancement of the Light Corroding Dragon."

His eyes lit up with silver light.

【Guangling Neural Network】

[Second Energy Level·Directed Strengthening·Cornerstone]

[Combined from the lucid state neural network of the Eclipse Dragon bloodline, supplemented by the directional strengthening of the Sun Bird bloodline, the lucid state neural network with the ability to interact with photon information can rely on pure light signals for information exchange, and the holder will receive Extraordinary optical observation ability is also the basis for many directional enhancements of the light spirit system]

[Development status: perfect]

【……】

Raising his head, Ian's expression remained unchanged, and he said calmly: "Can you explain the situation in detail?"

"simply put."

Ethan took a deep breath, suppressed his instinctive panic, and spoke smoothly: "This is a sublimation organ of the Sun God Bird series, but it appeared based on my Light Eclipse Dragon Bloodline - two They even unite with each other, help each other, and become stronger."
