"Now we can proceed with more complex bloodline modulation experiments."
He turned his gaze to the special Crystal Pool in the depths of the room, which was Dale’s dwelling.
The recent condition of the Little Sea Siren was a cause for concern for everyone.
Since the last incident of itchy scales, she began entering a peculiar semi-sleep state.
Most of her day is spent curled up at the bottom of the pool, only occasionally surfacing for a breath of air.
"Master, Dale’s vital signs remain stable."
Ailan’s voice came from beside him, with green tendrils gently brushing the pool’s surface:
"Moreover, I can sense the energy within her body constantly increasing; this should be normal growth and transformation."
Ron nodded, activating "Extraordinary Recognition" skills to carefully observe Dale’s condition.
In his special view, the Little Sea Siren’s body was undergoing a deep structural reorganization.
The original juvenile traits were gradually disappearing, replaced by a more mature and powerful life form.
"She’s transitioning from juvenile to mature phase, a key developmental stage for the Sea Siren species."
Ron analyzed:
"During this process, her bloodline will be fully activated.
But this transformation requires sleep to complete; forcibly interrupting it might cause irreversible damage."
He recalled related records seen in ancient texts.
The growth pattern of the Sea Siren species is utterly different from humans; they enter ’transformative sleep’ at specific stages, restructuring their bodies to achieve a leap in life level.
This process might last several weeks, or even months, during which there must be no external interference.
"However, since her condition is stable, it’s a good opportunity for bloodline optimization."
Ron took out an exquisite Crystal Bottle, containing Bloodline Essence extracted from a Harpy.
These materials had been stored in his laboratory for several months and, after special processing, the ancient Siren bloodline factors within still held their activity.
"Though Harpies are descended from the fallen Sirens, traces of Wind Element Affinity remain in their bloodline."
He carefully analyzed the materials in hand:
"If these traits can be integrated into Dale’s bloodline, she can simultaneously master both Water Element and Wind Element capabilities."
This bloodline fusion is extremely complex, requiring precise calculations of compatibility between different bloodline factors.
Any minute deviation might result in bloodline conflicts.
But with "Ink" as the perfect auxiliary tool, the success rate would greatly increase.
"Begin bloodline modulation experiment."
Ron activated all protective measures in the lab, then cautiously extracted "Ink" from its container.
The Slime Monster immediately sensed the master’s intention, its body shifted, transforming into a semi-transparent operating platform.
The following process was exceptionally meticulous.
Ron first collected a small blood sample from Dale and, through "Ink’s" analytical ability, detailed deconstruction of her bloodline structure was performed.
The Little Sea Siren’s bloodline purity was quite high, with almost no impurities, providing an ideal basis for subsequent fusion.
Then, he began processing the Harpy’s Bloodline Essence.
This essence was mixed with numerous negative factors—such as brutality, chaos, and corruption—which must all be removed, leaving only pure Wind Element Affinity.
"Ink" displayed amazing separation capabilities, functioning like a precise filter to remove harmful components one by one.
The entire process lasted three hours, during which Ron needed to constantly adjust various parameters to ensure the bloodline factors’ activity wasn’t lost from excessive processing.
When the last drop of pure Wind Element Bloodline Essence was separated, the air within the lab seemed to become fresher.
"Next is the most critical fusion stage."
Ron took a deep breath and cautiously injected the processed Bloodline Essence into Dale’s pool.
Pale purple liquid gradually spread in the water, forming beautiful spiral patterns.
Dale seemed to sense this change, gently wagging her tail in her sleep, with silver scales faintly glowing.
As the Bloodline Essence permeated, faint green patterns emerged on her body surface.
That was the sign of Wind Element Affinity Awakening.
"It seems to be going smoothly."
Ailan observed all this from the side, speaking with satisfaction:
"Her energy fluctuations have become more harmonious; the forces of Water Element and Wind Element are perfectly merging."
Ron nodded but continued to maintain high vigilance.
The success of bloodline modulation often isn’t confirmed until the last moment.
Any slight rejection reaction might lead to complete failure.
Fortunately, Dale’s adaptability exceeded expectations.
After a few hours of observation, her various vital signs remained within normal ranges, with new bloodline traits gradually merging with the original structure.
"It succeeded."
Ron sighed in relief, feeling the faint Favor feedback from Dale.
Though the quantity wasn’t large, the purity of such quality proved the success of this bloodline modulation.
"Once she completes the transformation awakening, she should be able to master basic Wind Element manipulation abilities."
He contentedly recorded the experiment’s data, marveling at "Ink’s" bloodline analytical capabilities.
With this perfect assistant, his bloodline modulation research would reach new heights.
.........
The success of bloodline modulation reminded Ron of another issue he currently faced — the further development of Chimera Bloodline.
As the cultivation of the "Crown Breathing Technique" deepened, the "Red Blood Flying Dragon," this Golden Ring-level sub-dragon bloodline, had begun to seem inadequate.
To break through to the final stage of the Breathing Technique, he needed higher-level bloodline support.
"The legend of the Monarch Knight..."
Ron recalled related records seen in ancient texts.
