Chapter 183: Chapter 142: Soul Steel and the Magic Sword (Part 2) Wind and water, have a natural repulsion in elemental attributes. A direct fusion without buffering is destined to fail, as has been proven in his previous experiments. 𝙛𝒓𝒆𝙚𝒘𝒆𝓫𝙣𝓸𝙫𝓮𝒍.𝒄𝒐𝓶 The third Slime Monster exploded into pieces in a frenzy after being twisted in such a way. But now, with the aid of the "Fusion Adhesive," the situation should be quite different. "Begin the bloodline modulation process." Ron calmed his mind, following the steps described in "Bloodline Modulation Introduction," and started the modulation. First, he used precise Spiritual Power to completely decompose the Wind Demon Feather fragments into a pure energy state, then slowly introduced them into the Slime Monster’s body. The color of the Slime Monster immediately changed, from light blue to pale green, and fine wave-like structures began to form on its surface, as if a gentle breeze swept across it. This is a sign of successful absorption. Next, Ron focused his Spiritual Power again, guiding the energy essence of the Water Snake Scale. This step is extremely crucial; if the input speed is too fast or the energy is not pure enough, it may cause bloodline rejection. With the addition of Water Energy, the Slime Monster began to vibrate violently, its color becoming erratic, sometimes green gaining the upper hand, sometimes blue spreading all over. "Stabilize, balance, fuse..." Ron murmured, guiding the two types of energy to slowly merge under the effect of the adhesive. This process lasted for nearly ten minutes, with the tense tremors gradually subsiding. The color of the Slime Monster eventually stabilized in a blue-green mixed state, its surface showing both wave-like ripples and flowing like water. [Bloodline Modulation Experience Points + 1] [Current Progress: Bloodline Modulation (Introduction 48/50)] "Succeeded!" Ron breathed a sigh of relief, looking with satisfaction at the stable fusion before him. Although it was just an experimental subject, this success indicated that his understanding of bloodline modulation had ascended to a new level. Moreover, compared to mere skill enhancement, this experiment brought him a more direct outcome — a perfectly modulated specimen with dual elemental affinity for both wind and water. Ron gently flipped a switch on the experiment table, a weak electric current passing through the platform, stimulating the Slime Monster to display its traits. With the stimulus, miniature water currents and wind swirls simultaneously appeared on the surface of the Slime Monster. Though the intensity was low, it was evidence of perfect fusion. "Using Fusion Adhesive as a buffer, combined with gradual energy input, can indeed greatly increase the success rate of fusing repulsed bloodlines." Ron recorded the details and conclusions of this experiment. The same method should also be applicable to higher-level bloodline modulation. For instance, the growth path designed for Dale, or filling other branches of his Chimera Core in the future. More importantly, he noticed an interesting phenomenon — Along with the improvement of bloodline modulation skills, his ability to activate bloodlines also grew accordingly. [Bloodline Activation Experience Points + 1] [Current Progress: Bloodline Activation (Introduction 30/100)] Although the growth rate was not significant, it undeniably confirmed his speculation: there is indeed a linkage effect between related skills. Understanding of bloodline modulation will also contribute to the enhancement of bloodline activation. Ron immediately thought that perhaps he could take this opportunity to check his affiliated Red Blood Flying Dragon bloodline again and see if he had any new insights. He gently closed his eyes, mobilizing that crimson-gold energy within him. As his breathing deepened, the Red Blood Flying Dragon bloodline was gradually awakened. A sense of burning spread from the spine to the whole body, and he could feel the presence of those fine scales beneath his skin. Andre’s Red Blood Flying Dragon bloodline, originating from a lineage of the ancient Sun Flame Dragon, after several epochs of dilution and variation, has drifted far from its original pure form. However, under the replication of the Chimera Bloodline, this energy has been partially purified, tracing back a small step toward its primal form. "That’s why my flames are purer and more regular in shape than Andre’s." Ron suddenly understood: "Chimera doesn’t just simply replicate; it instinctively optimizes towards a more superior direction." This discovery filled him with confidence in future bloodline duplication. As his understanding of the essence of bloodlines deepens, Chimera’s replication ability would become more precise and powerful. "The next step is to continue enhancing Alchemy, preparing for future Magic Sword forging." Ron took a deep breath, savoring the wonderful sensation of Magic Power flowing within his body. With a Magic Power value of 2.0, it provided him with a more abundant energy reserve for his alchemy research. "Let’s try more advanced Energy Condensation." Ron took out a block of ordinary stone, concentrating his mind for an Energy Storage test. In the past, such attempts would have cost him about 20% of his Magic Power reserves, but now, he hardly felt much consumption. Spiritual Power and Magic Power moved at his command, the energy smoothly flowing into the stone block under his guidance, forming a stable Energy Core. Compared to before, the density of stored energy this time was higher, and the structure more intricate. [Alchemy Experience Points + 1] [Current Progress: Alchemy (Proficient 17/100)] Ron recorded the data, checking against his profession advancement conditions: [Profession Advancement Information Unlock: Alchemist (Two Stars)] [Profession Advancement Conditions: 1. Alchemy mastered 2. Alchemy skills reaching mastery 3. Extraordinary Recognition mastered √ 4. Independently completed the crafting of three or more primary alchemy items 5. Successfully improved at least one existing alchemy item blueprint] "Still a long way to go..." Ron planned silently in his heart, but he did not feel disheartened.
