Chapter 193 Progenitor Vampire
At dusk, Xu Yi returned to his residence, a standalone villa in Boston's wealthy district.
With his current family fortune, there was naturally no longer a need to pinch pennies, so Ailent directly stepped in and purchased for him a luxurious villa in Boston.
Xu Yi tucked a couple of books under his arm—one was "Introduction to Modern Biology," and the other was "Japanese for Beginners."
Learning another language was critically necessary, otherwise the actions of the Ghost Samurai in Japan would become extremely inconvenient.
He had just come back from MIT, and it must be said that indeed a school is the most suitable place for learning.
[Scholar +18, Current progress: 70/100]
Less than a day had passed, and his Scholar entry had added 18 points of experience, filling up the Scholar entry was just within reach.
Xu Yi went straight to the basement.
The original purchase of this villa, aside from the quiet surrounding environment, was primarily because it came with a basement that could be transformed into a laboratory.
The basement only contained some essential lab equipment like beakers and Petri dishes, which were practically worlds apart compared to MIT's Blood Research Group Five.
But Xu Yi did not envy them in the least because he had the Nest of the Evil God.
The Nest of the Evil God was the most advanced experimental observation equipment, leading current technology by who knows how many years; it was also one of the sources of his confidence in devising high-quality blood potions.
The other source of confidence was naturally his entry "Genius of Mysticism."
Xu Yi cut a small piece from the charred flesh of Ryan and placed it on a Petri dish, then brought out the blood of the Vampire Progenitor.
After these days of study, he was no longer ignorant about mysticism.
The blood of Ryan, as the perfect fusion of werewolf and vampire blood, had the potential to revive as long as it came into contact with fresh blood.
But the flesh of Ryan he held was too severely damaged, with very low activity; it probably required high-quality fresh blood to possibly revive.
The blood of the Vampire Progenitor was poured over Ryan's flesh, and, as expected, being of the same origin, the vampire blood was absorbed in an instant.
"Such tenacity of life!" Xu Yi couldn't help but exclaim.
The charred flesh of Ryan actually began to freshen up and twitch from time to time.
Xu Yi ground the flesh into mince and poured it into saline to create a potion. He only wanted to observe the characteristics of Ryan's flesh and didn't need to make it too complex.
A white rabbit had already been fed into the Nest of the Evil God beforehand. Xu Yi injected the potion into the rabbit.
The Nest of the Evil God projected a three-dimensional dissection image into his mind, allowing Xu Yi to clearly see a large expanse of blood-colored energy radiating outward from the injection site. Continue your saga on empire
The rabbit began to mutate, its flat teeth becoming extremely sharp, its soft fur turning rough, and its pupils turning blood-red.
Xu Yi began to believe that it was truly Ryan's flesh, as the rabbit exhibited both vampire and werewolf characteristics.
But it also inherited their bloodthirstiness, and the mutated rabbit lunged at Xu Yi, who remained unmoved. With a mild "pop" sound, the rabbit crashed into the "glass."
Of course, the rabbit couldn't break the "glass" because Xu Yi was using a Magic-Prohibiting Box.
Even the powerful Bone of Nightmares could do nothing but stay quietly within the Magic-Prohibiting Box, let alone a mutated rabbit.
With the Nest of the Evil God combined with the Magic-Prohibiting Box, it was simply a perfect "research combo"!
Xu Yi recorded the characteristics of Ryan's blood on paper. At that moment, the rabbit's mutation became even more severe. The bone structure of the rabbit's head protruded, the abdomen contracted, and the sharp hairs stood on end one by one.
The rabbit's aura grew increasingly strong, but suddenly, with a "pop," the rabbit burst open, and its fresh blood splashed within the Magic-Prohibiting Box.
Xu Yi's brow furrowed, not because of the rabbit's explosive death, which could have been anticipated.
He frowned because he discovered an "anomalous object" within the rabbit's body.
The Nest of the Evil God extended two tentacles, the sharp ends of which could rival a dissecting scalpel. With stability and precision far surpassing that of professional surgeons, the Nest of the Evil God opened the flesh and plucked out a strand of black thread.
The "dissecting scalpel" feature of the Nest of the Evil God was something Xu Yi had only discovered not long ago.
The more he used the Nest of the Evil God, the more he realized its convenience; it was like it had been created for experimentation.
Xu Yi stared at that strand of black thread, the more he looked at it, the more uneasy he felt.
If one observed closely, they would notice that the black line was actually shaped like a tadpole, but without eyes or similar organs, and a mouth that nearly filled the entire head. When its mouth opened, two rows of sharp teeth were revealed.
Xu Yi reached out his hand, touching the "black tadpole" through the Magic-Prohibiting Box. His blood-sensing ability was activated—unexpectedly, this thing also belonged to mystic blood.
[Unknown Mystical Blood, "Quality: S", "Fusion Success Rate: 0%", "Promotion Potential: Red Epic"]
S-level! It's actually S-level blood quality!
Xu Yi was stunned. According to the information provided by his blood scent ability, this substance was supposed to be an "impurity" in Ryan's flesh and blood.
What kind of "impurity" could possibly possess S-level quality?
But what the hell is a 0% fusion success rate?
Other blood, even if the success rate is low, still has a rate of success.
Xu Yi vaguely felt a premonition that whether it was purification or potion fusion, it might be impossible to improve the success rate of this blood.
The "black tadpole" swam toward a corner of the Magic-Prohibiting Box, and even after encountering obstacles, it did not change direction, persevering toward the same direction.
After observing for a moment, Xu Yi finally discerned the black tadpole's intent.
"Is it trying to go somewhere?"
After pondering for a moment, Xu Yi's curiosity ultimately got the better of him. He picked up the Magic-Prohibiting Box and walked outside.
......
It was a dark and windy night, and Xu Yi hid in the shadows of a tall building.
His body merged with the darkness, making it difficult for anyone passing by to detect his presence.
[Dark Stealth, Current Progress: 88/100]
As the final component in synthesizing the Shadow Sharpshooter, how could Xu Yi not be diligent? Whenever there was a chance, he would farm experience for Dark Stealth.
He peered at the building across from him. The curtains were parted by the wind due to the window not being properly closed.
In such darkness, ordinary people couldn't possibly see what was inside, but Xu Yi was clearly not included among them.
Through Eyes of Obscurity, he saw an extremely depraved scene inside.
In the hall, bodies were spread out everywhere, men and women piled haphazardly on top of one another. Compared to the scene before his eyes, a luxurious feast seemed tame.
What surprised Xu Yi the most was that some of the figures inside were vampires, and others were werewolves.
He suddenly understood why the black tadpole had brought him here.
After absorbing the blood of vampires, the black tadpole longed for more and subconsciously swam towards the direction of the vampires.
"Blood Tracking" is the black tadpole's innate ability.
So many werewolves and vampires gathering together—could it really be just to unleash their bestial natures?
Xu Yi was somewhat perplexed. If they wanted to unleash their animalistic side, there were plenty of ways to do so. Why seek out their natural enemies?
He slipped across to the opposite side under the cover of darkness.
His heartbeat was suppressed to an almost inaudible level, and his breathing was virtually nonexistent; his presence merged with the surroundings. This was the power of Dark Stealth.
Xu Yi crouched in the shadows of the windowsill, ears perked up, listening to the conversation inside.
"Are we really going to take on the Progenitor?"
Xu Yi had never expected to overhear such explosive information just after his arrival.
The Progenitor mentioned by them naturally referred to the Vampire Progenitor.
Vampires aren't supposed to kill other vampires—wasn't that one of their laws? Why are they making an exception now and targeting the Vampire Progenitor?
Xu Yi's interest was thoroughly piqued.
He had been searching for the Vampire Progenitor in secret, even asking Ed and the church for help.
His search for the Vampire Progenitor was, of course, for the fragments of the Hyper Accelerated Regeneration Entries, and now he was only missing the last piece!
Killing ordinary vampires, even the first generation, wouldn't yield a fragment of Hyper Accelerated Regeneration.
Considering that the fragments of Hyper Accelerated Regeneration Entries fell only from characters, like the Undying Murderer Jason or the Thief God Ratma, one can understand.
Killing a first-generation vampire would at most yield "accelerated regeneration," and though it's only a single word difference, the effects are worlds apart.
To obtain the Hyper Accelerated Regeneration Entries, one would need at least a progenitor-level vampire.
