Chapter 188: Chapter 144: Trait ”Tracing”_2

Ron’s solution was a gradual progression:

First, establish a normal bloodline network to form a stable foundational framework;

Then dilute the extraordinary bloodline, injecting small amounts gradually, allowing the normal bloodline time to adapt;

Finally, once the system stabilizes, gradually increase the concentration of the extraordinary bloodline.

This process requires extremely high spiritual control, and even seasoned bloodline modifiers find it challenging.

But with Ron’s exploration of diverse growth paths, particularly with the aid of alchemical understanding, he successfully completed this modulation.

The Slime Monster displayed a gentle orange-red color, with smooth internal energy flow, indicating a successful fusion.

”Very good, now for the final challenge.”

The third experiment was the most ambitious attempt—Ron planned to merge three distinctly different extraordinary bloodlines within the Slime Monster:

The breath of Wind Elemental Elves, the tail sting of the Crystal Scorpion, and the fur of the Shadow Wolf.

These three creatures not only have different elemental attributes but also completely distinct life forms.

According to conventional theories, such a combination is almost doomed to failure.

But Ron had his own idea: ”The key is not to forcefully merge incompatible bloodlines, but to find their common points and establish a unique balance.”

He first constructed a triangular energy flow pattern in the Slime Monster, forming a cyclic loop for the three bloodlines rather than direct contact.

Next, he created an energy buffer zone, serving as an intermediary between the three bloodlines.

Under this design, the bloodlines didn’t simply mix but formed a symbiotic relationship that facilitated mutual enhancement:

The fluidity of the wind element helped the crystal energy diffuse better, the structural nature of the crystal provided a carrier for the shadow energy, while the permeability of the shadow energy enhanced the penetration power of the wind element.

The entire experimental process lasted nearly two hours, nearly exhausting Ron’s spiritual power.

But when the last strand of energy stabilized, the Slime Monster displayed a never-before-seen composite state:

The surface was a flowing grayish-blue, with crystalline light glimmering inside, occasionally shadows coursing through, harmoniously coexisting without interference.

[Acquired Additional Trait: Tracing

(Ability to identify bloodline traces within a creature, tracing ancestral traits)]

Ron took a deep breath, feeling the surge of new knowledge and insights within him.

The ”Tracing” trait was undoubtedly a precious ability for a Bloodline Modifier.

He couldn’t wait to test this new ability, immediately shifting his focus to the successful Slime Monster, attempting to trace the origins of the fused bloodlines.

To his surprise, he could not only sense the three directly infused bloodlines, but even their more ancient origins:

Within the bloodline of the Wind Elemental Elf, he could vaguely see a faint trace from the ”Elemental Lord,” perhaps a bloodline contact from countless generations ago;

The Crystal Scorpion’s ancestry once had the influence of ”Earth Vein Crystal,” giving it a crystalization ability distinct from ordinary scorpions;

And deep within the Shadow Wolf’s bloodline, there lay a trait from ”Multiple Shadows,” an extremely rare being from the Shadow Plane.

”Amazing...” Ron pondered thoughtfully:

”This tracing ability not only helps me understand bloodline composition but also uncovers hidden traits buried by time.”

However, he realized that the standalone ”Tracing” trait couldn’t precisely pinpoint bloodline evolution traces, perhaps the skilled level ”Extraordinary Recognition” was also at play.

This way, when modulating bloodlines for Dale or other creatures, he can more accurately grasp their bloodline essence, avoiding needless attempts and directly finding the optimal path.

Additionally, this tracing ability seems not limited to experimental subjects but is applicable to ordinary living entities as well.

Ron attempted to trace his own Red Blood Flying Dragon bloodline, immediately obtaining a clearer bloodline landscape than ever before:

[Red Blood Flying Dragon Bloodline Origin:

Sun Flame Dragon (Star Ring)

→ Flame Giant Dragon (Quasi-Star Ring) / Red Flame Dragon (Quasi-Star Ring)

→ Red Blood Flying Dragon (Golden Ring)

→ Volcano Lizard Dragon (Silver Ring)

→ Fire Salamander (Copper Ring)]

This clear lineage map revealed to Ron the entire process of bloodline degradation and also provided a definite direction for potential future bloodline activation:

If he could purify the Red Blood Flying Dragon bloodline, theoretically, he has a chance to restore it to the Flame Giant Dragon or even higher-tier form.

”Let’s try using this ability on Dale first...”

Ron left the laboratory and headed to the courtyard.

Dale, along with Ailan, was tidying the flowerbeds. The Little Sea Siren seemed exceptionally agile, as if fully adapted to terrestrial life.

”Dale, could you come over here?” Ron called gently.

The Little Sea Siren joyfully ran over, ”Master, what is it?”

Without much explanation, Ron simply placed his hand gently on Dale’s shoulder, activating the ”Tracing” ability.

The Little Sea Siren thought her master wanted to play and smiled sweetly, pressing her cool cheek against Ron’s hand, which felt as smooth as jade.

Yet Ron was more focused on the astonishing bloodline map unfolding in his mind:

[Little Sea Siren Dale Bloodline Origin:

God of Ocean Currents (Moon Ring)

→ Singer (Star Ring)

→ Pure-blooded Sea Siren (Golden Ring)

→ Ordinary Sea Siren (Silver Ring)]

”Incredible...”

Ron widened his eyes in astonishment:

”Dale’s ancestry actually holds a Moon Ring level mythical bloodline! This bloodline purity, no wonder she has such strong potential for growth.”

Even further, he noticed an unactivated special ability branch within Dale’s bloodline—”Singing.”

This seemed to be a unique extraordinary ability of the Sea Sirens, related to resonance with sound and magic power, which could be awakened through specific training methods.

”Dale, I have some good news.” Ron withdrew his hand, smiling:

”I’ve discovered a method to significantly enhance your abilities, and it’s very well-suited to your nature.”

The Little Sea Siren curiously blinked, ”What method, Master?”

”Singing,” Ron replied succinctly:

”Within your ancestry, there exists a type called ’Singers,’ who could manipulate elements and even influence emotions and thoughts through special songs. This ability is still dormant in your bloodline, and just needs the right method to awaken.”

Dale’s eyes brightened instantly:

”Really? I’ve always loved singing! I often hum melodies to myself in the crystal vat!”

”Then it’s even more perfect.” Ron nodded:

”Starting tomorrow, I’ll design a special scale practice for you to help awaken this talent.”

As for his plans, once he finishes this, the quarterly meeting for candidate wizards would be held...
