"The Monarch Bloodline is indeed extraordinary." Ron was amazed by its vitality:
"Not only does it possess incredible adaptability, but also outstanding stability."
Ron recalled the previous experiment where he helped Li Yue successfully transplant the scorpion venom gland.
The key to that success lay in the special blood flowing through the leopard woman’s body.
"In theory, this blood should also be able to ’tame’ the Abyssal Energy, making it easier to absorb and utilize."
He carefully divided Li Yue’s blood into four parts, adding each to a different Abyssal Essence.
The moment they mixed, each bottle produced a different reaction.
The bone extract mixed with the blood began to boil violently, with a layer of crystalline foam appearing on the surface;
The molting essence turned into a metallic texture, with strange patterns flowing across its surface;
The plant seed extract emitted a faint buzzing sound upon contact with the blood, turning the liquid into a semi-transparent gel;
And the most dangerous, the swamp assembler essence, emitted a piercing shriek the moment it touched the blood, the liquid spinning violently, forming a tiny vortex.
Ron quickly stepped back but remained unflustered.
He had already anticipated various possible reactions and prepared for them.
"Perfect!" he praised in his heart, "The Monarch Bloodline can indeed stabilize Abyssal Energy. Now, it’s time for the final fusion."
Ron retrieved several tools, including a specially made syringe and a set of miniature guiding arrays.
Drawing the four mixed liquids into the syringe one by one, he began sketching complex rune patterns on the surface of the stand-in puppet, each stroke precise to the micron level.
These runes were not just channels for energy, but a protective measure as well.
To ensure that the energy could be safely absorbed by the puppet without causing unforeseen dangerous reactions.
After finishing the last rune, Ron aimed the syringe at a specific point on the puppet’s chest.
"Let’s begin."
He took a deep breath and pressed the syringe plunger.
The mixed liquid slowly injected into the puppet, and the rune patterns lit up, blooming into dazzling multicolored lights.
The puppet began to tremble slightly, its wooden texture wriggling like a living thing, seemingly adapting to the newly injected energy.
This process lasted about ten minutes, during which Ron maintained high vigilance, closely observing every minor change.
When the last drop of mixed liquid was completely absorbed, the glow of the runes on the puppet faded gradually, until it completely disappeared.
It seemed as if everything had returned to calm, but Ron knew that the real transformation had just begun.
"Let’s see the results."
Ron focused his Spirit and sent a simple mental command to the puppet.
The puppet immediately responded, and its body began to undergo astonishing changes.
Its arms became semi-transparent, covered with thin metallic-textured scales;
The plant seed energy granted the puppet a special regeneration ability;
Most astonishing was the energy manifestation of the swamp assembler—the puppet’s chest revealed a tiny vortex.
The center of the vortex constantly absorbed and emitted faint purple light, seemingly able to draw in the surrounding energy flow.
"Success!" A rare excitement flashed in Ron’s eyes.
The stand-in puppet not only perfectly absorbed the four types of Abyssal Energy but also achieved perfect fusion through the medium of the Monarch Bloodline.
Each type of energy could independently manifest its traits while also working cooperatively.
[Stand-In Puppet Charging Progress + 7%]
[Current Charge: 50%/100%]
[Reached First Stage Qualitative Change Standard]
[Stand-In Puppet Form Update: Basic Form → Active Form]
[Unlocked—Dual Transmission Capability]
The panel’s notifications made Ron nod in satisfaction.
Not only did the charging progress reach the critical 50% milestone, but this charge also propelled the stand-in puppet to its first stage qualitative change.
From the "basic form" evolved into the "active form."
In this form, the puppet was more agile and more responsive to commands.
It was no longer a simple control puppet but began to exhibit a certain degree of autonomy.
And that so-called "dual transmission" capability...
Ron reached out to touch the puppet, sensing an unusual resonance.
This feeling was akin to establishing a deeper connection with a part of himself.
As if the right hand could sense the presence of the left hand, separate yet part of the same entity.
"At 50% charging progress, it’s now possible to attempt Demon Hunter transformation."
In his plan, the Demon Hunter transformation was a pivotal point.
Now, this plan could finally be set in motion.
