Chapter 1791: Tang Wulin’s Blood

Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

Tang Wuln said, “Alright then. How much do you want?”

Ling Zichen said, “Not much. Ten drops is enough.”

“Hmm. Now?”

“Now!”

It was not an easy feat to draw Tang Wulin’s blood because his body was already close to being the Leakproof Golden Body. Under ordinary circumstances, it was almost impossible to leave a wound on him unless it was done with a divine weapon. This was even more the case when he was protected by the Golden Dragon Body.

Ten minutes later, Ling Zichen’s eyes were no longer red. She held a small test tube in her hand and looked at the ten drops of blood in it, gaping at it in excitement.

He had used the Golden Dragon Spear to prick a wound on his hand and squeezed out the blood.

The blood inside the test tube genuinely looked different from an ordinary person’s blood. Very peculiarly, the ten drops of fresh blood were gold and red in color. Moreover, the blood was swirling continuously as if it was alive. It did not look like liquid, but more like semisolid. It was highly unusual.

It was Tang Wulin’s first time seeing his own fresh blood as well. He could feel that his blood contained a faint trace of the Golden Dragon King’s aura.

No wonder Ling Zichen was so excited. It was her first time seeing blood that could squirm on its own. What’s more, an idea had formed in her mind.

She darted Tang Wulin a look secretly. Tang Wulin looked back at her in puzzlement, so Ling Zichen hastily shifted her gaze to something else. She gave him a gentle smile.

Tang Wulin felt chills down his spine upon seeing her grin. He felt like something was not right.

“What kind of research are you actually planning to do with my blood?” Tang Wulin could not refrain himself from asking.

Ling Zichen immediately said in all apparent seriousness, “Genetic research, of course. Look at you. Your genetic code is so powerful. If I can use it to develop some genetic medicine suitable for elevating abilities, won’t it help our Tang Sect surpass the Spirit Pagoda’s ability to accumulate wealth?”

Tang Wulin felt speechless. He was about to inquire about something else when he was interrupted by Ling Zichen. “Wait here. I’m going to take the Eternal Heaven.”

This was an important matter, so Tang Wulin did not continue to inquire anymore.

Ling Zichen made her way to the research center inside the Shrek Academy by herself. The research centre was specially created for her. Furthermore, Ling Zichen was prepared to organize a technology course for Shrek Academy in the future after discussing with the faculty.

Shrek Academy’s training for the past twenty thousand years had always been singularly focused. The academy’s main focus was cultivating soul masters, but there had been training specially designed for soul guide masters for a period of time. Afterward, the soul guide master’s course weakened following the creation of battle armor. Although the course was still available, it was listed as an elective course to the core courses. The most mainstream course was still the battle armor master course.

Ling Zichen suggested that Shrek Academy cultivate talents in other professions and not just soul masters. With their history of twenty thousand years, they would be able to spread their graduates in different professional fields across the continent by fostering more types of talents in the academy. This would in turn reduce the possibility of another great catastrophe.

After the discussion during the Sea God’s Pavilion Meeting, Shrek agreed with Ling Zichen’s suggestion. They would be recruiting new students in liberal arts in the next intake. They would recruit students that were intelligent, even if not endowed with martial souls, and cultivate them through education.

Ling Zichen’s research center was built under such circumstances. It did not belong to Tang Sect alone as it was shared between them and Shrek Academy. As such, the research centre could allocate and combine the resources from the two great organizations. Naturally, Ling Zichen was appointed the first chief of this research center.

The research center was built deep underground and it was modified to connect to Shrek Academy under Sea God Lake. It could be used for both covert and defensive tasks.

Ling Zichen was a perfectionist. As a result, she designed the research centre to withstand the strength of the Eternal Heaven’s attack. Though the cost was sky-high, it was definitely the most well-defended research center in the Federation.

After crossing three or four golden metal doors, Ling Zichen boarded an exclusive elevator to travel down. It took more than ten minutes and two more elevators before she finally arrived at a large laboratory in the depths of the underground.

If Tang Wulin were here with her, he would certainly be gawking in astonishment.

The laboratory belonged to no one but Ling Zichen. At the time, the entire laboratory was all in a chaotic mess. All sorts of rare metals and parts were scattered everywhere.

On a large test table in the center of the room, there lay a silver-white fixed soul ammunition.

Rather than being larger than ordinary fixed soul ammunition, it could be described as quite small. The silver-white outer shell was elegantly streamlined on the sides, and one-third of the front portion was translucent and shining. There was a soft light glistening on the inside.

It was made up of one hundred and eighty Positive Circulation Source Soul Circuit units. This was the source of the core energy that produced Eternal Heaven’s terrifying power.

On the other hand, the rear half was cracked open, and there were numerous minute and fine parts on the inside.

The corners of Ling Zichen’s lips twitched. She muttered to herself, “If he were to find out that I dismantled Eternal Heaven in the underground depths, I wonder how he would react. They thought that I was strengthening the laboratory to prevent external attacks. They didn’t know that I was actually afraid of this thing exploding! Very well then. It won’t have a chance of exploding anymore. Let me think about how I should assemble it...”

Tang Wulin had always known that Ling Zichen was out of her mind, but if he were to find out that she was this far gone, he would certainly keel over in shock...

She took more than an hour’s time to fully assemble the silver-white fixed soul ammunition.

Ling Zichen sniggered. “Done and I’ll call it a day! I’m really good at this. With adequate resources, I may really be able to make another Eternal Heaven.”

As she spoke to herself, she placed the long, slim, deadliest weapon on the continent into her storage soul device cautiously. She felt relieved.

“He must be growing anxious from the wait. However, I’m going to make him wait for a little while longer. Heh-heh-heh-heh. Wulin, oh Wulin. I bet you can’t figure out why I wanted your blood. Mwah-hah-hah. Let me run some tests on it later. We’ll be making a hefty profit if it’s a successful experiment.”

Saying that, she walked to one side of the laboratory and pressed on a well-concealed button. At once, a golden metal door opened to reveal an isolated space.

The room appeared extremely neat and tidy, in contrast with the messiness of the laboratory outside. It was about one-third the size of the laboratory, but it was filled with all sorts of precise instruments.

Most importantly, there was a gigantic petri dish in the center of the room. It appeared to be made of glass with various tubes placed in it. Someone was lying in the clear liquid in the petri dish.

Yes, it was someone, though perhaps they could not be called a person. This was because it only seemed to have taken a human form. It did not emit any life source nor did it even have any facial features. It looked just like a mold.

Ling Zichen sniggered. “Wulin, oh Wulin. What would you think if I could make a clone of you? At that point, I can whip and slap you as much as I like. Heh-heh-heh-heh.”

...

Tang Wulin was genuinely growing anxious from the wait. Ling Zichen left for two hours. He would have gone looking for her if they were somewhere else, but the laboratory was constructed to be nigh impenetrable. It would take him a long time to get inside it even with his abilities! As a result, he could only wait patiently.

At last, the elevator door opened, and Ling Zichen walked out.
