Chapter 159: Super Enhancement, Cursed Blood Origin - Perfect Lifeform
Vroom! Vroom!
The roar of motorcycles approached. At Lin's shout, a few of the newly hired locals opened the manor gates, and several dark-skinned young men on motorcycles drove in, carrying the urgently requested herbs.
In the past two days, the various bandit gangs in the surrounding mountains had all "resubmitted" to the new master of the manor. Lin didn't know exactly what "Boss Kaito" had done. All he knew was that one morning, a messenger had come down from the mountains with a large bundle of cash and a promise to continue paying "protection fees" on time. One group had even offered a share of their plantation, but the boss had refused, taken the money, and sent them away.
Lin was beginning to wonder what this madman was really after. He wanted money, but he didn't seem particularly interested in making money. Instead, he was obsessed with these herbs he was having imported. Was he really just a martial arts fanatic? Lin still thought Kaito must be the heir of some ancient, hidden martial arts clan.
He took the two herbs. Because they had been imported from Japan and he had requested the fastest possible delivery, the total cost had exceeded 50,000 yen. But the madman had said it was "worth it."
He had the herbs delivered to the second floor, then took out a local map and began to ponder the "paradise" the madman kept talking about. Who would come to this godforsaken place to visit a "paradise"? Lin didn't understand, but he had no choice. His life was in another man's hands.
[You have obtained Immortality Grass x1, Ziying Immortal Plant x1.]
Kaito looked at the notification, a smile on his face. The [Secret Trove: Cursed Blood Origin] formula, which was constantly radiating a purple light, appeared in his hand. This was the greatest treasure he had obtained from the Demon Slayer world.
[Secret Trove - Cursed Blood Origin]
[Quality: Exceedingly Rare (Extreme)]
[Description: An ancient, secret treasure from the golden age of sorcery in the Heian period. It contains a special pharmacology capable of reversing life and death and allowing a human to transcend, becoming an ultimate lifeform.]
[Effect 1: With ALL materials, pay 2 B-rank Singularities & 12,000 DP to purify your bloodline. Gain Lineage: Human - Perfected. Gain traits: High-Speed Regeneration, Advanced Strength, Medium Immortality.]
[Effect 2: With PARTIAL materials, pay 1 B-rank Singularity & 6000 DP to alter your lineage. Become: Demon (Dark Species, Native Species). Gain traits: High-Speed Regeneration, Advanced Strength, Medium Immortality, Weakness to Light.]
[Effect 3: With NO materials, pay 2 C-rank Singularities & 3000 DP to fuse this trove into yourself. You will gain ONE random trait.]
In Kaito's eyes, the [Effect 1] option was now fully lit. He had finally gathered all the materials, including the [Blue Spider Lily], and met the Singularity and DP requirements.
He went to his room, his ears twitching, making sure no one was around. Just in case, he brought all the materials with him back to his private space.
He stood in the empty room, laid out all the herbs and the formula, and placed his right hand on it.
"Use [Secret Trove: Cursed Blood Origin]!"
[Detecting use of Special Lineage Item: Cursed Blood Origin. Judgment in progress…]
[Bloodline check: Passed.]
[Material check: Passed.]
[Cost payment…]
[Pay 2 B-rank Singularities and 12,000 Dimensional Points to activate Effect 1?]
"Pay."
[You have lost 2 B-rank Singularities.]
[You have lost 12,000 Dimensional Points.]
[You have lost Blue Spider Lily, Immortality Grass…]
[You have lost the item: Secret Trove - Cursed Blood Origin.]
A series of notifications appeared. The herbs and the purple-glowing formula shattered, melting into a thick, purple liquid. The liquid smelled of blood, but at the same time, it had a strange, evil aura. Yet, the life force it contained was so rich that just smelling it made Kaito feel as if every cell in his body was coming alive. He had only ever felt this sensation once before, when the Goddess had replenished his life force after his bloodline refinement.
Kaito reached out his hand. The moment the thick, purplish-black liquid touched his skin, it was instantly absorbed.
He felt an extreme coldness begin at his fingertip and slowly spread up his arm. He took off his clothes and saw that a purplish-black glow was spreading through his body, following his veins and meridians. Eventually, his entire body was a dark, violet-black.
Thump... thump...
The sound of his heartbeat grew louder, heavier. It was as if his blood had become thick and heavy, as if a great power was now flowing through his veins.
[You have been affected by the Secret Trove: Cursed Blood Origin.]
[Your lineage, Human (Mythical, Myriad), is being purified... Your attributes will be re-anchored to a new range: Perfect Individual.]
[This process will last for a period of time, until the blood exchange is complete.]
[During this period, your body will gradually gain the abilities and attribute bonuses of the lineage: Human (Mythical, Myriad, Perfect Individual).]
Thump, thump!
Kaito's heart pounded. He clenched his fists. A strange, new sensation. This body, which he had been so familiar with, now felt alien.
He activated his [Transparent World]. The next moment, a grin he couldn't suppress spread across his face.
"Hah… so this is a thing…"
He could clearly "see" it. The 41 muscles in his arm, which should have been the same as anyone else's, were now... multiplying. At a visible speed, they had already doubled to 82. This was the source of the strange feeling. The way he generated force, the angles his arm could now rotate, his strength... everything was changing.
[Due to the effect of the lineage: Human (Mythical, Myriad, Perfect Individual), your Strength attribute has increased by 1. Current: 19.]
[...your Strength attribute has increased by 1. Current: 20.]
[Karma Reincarnator EX051, you have officially touched the Strength limit break. You may, at any time, accept the limit break trial mission at the Rank Management Office.]
[...your Strength attribute has increased by 1. Current: 20+.]
...
The notifications continued to appear. Kaito could feel every muscle, bone, and cell in his body changing. The tingling, stabbing sensation only made him more excited. He had never been so curious about his own body. This change... it opened up so many new possibilities.
Perhaps, in a way, he could now achieve things that even Shen Wulong couldn't imagine. After all, Shen had relied on immortal-like techniques to push a normal human body to superhuman performance. But Kaito's body itself... had undergone a qualitative change.
He was no longer a normal human. He was... a Perfect Lifeform.
After Kaito returned to the real world, he sealed off the villa, telling Lin that he was entering a "closed-door cultivation" and was not to be disturbed, not even for food. Lin was now even more convinced that his boss was from some secret, ancient martial arts clan.
This continued for three days.
By the end, the purplish-black color on Kaito's skin had faded. He had grown a little taller, now standing at 198cm. He estimated his weight was now over 170kg. But his body was still slender and streamlined. His muscle and bone density were now far beyond that of a normal human. The standard data for a normal human no longer applied to him.
[Karma Reincarnator - EX051]
[Codename: Mercenary Tao (Changeable)]
[Equipped Milestone: Rakshasa Demon (Scarce)]
[Lineage: Human - Perfect (Mythical, Myriad, Perfect Individual) - Body of Ten Thousand Spirits from the Underworld (Stage 2 - Refined x2; Enlightened x2)]
[Foundational Attributes] Strength: 20+ (23) (Limit Break Touched) Agility: 20+ (22) (Limit Break Touched) Constitution: 20+ (24) (Underworld Erosion Status) (Limit Break Touched) Spirit: 19 (21-2) (Spirit Curse Status) Energy: ? (Special constitution, cannot be anchored)
His Strength, Agility, and Constitution had all received a massive boost. Kaito guessed that the logic of the [Cursed Blood Origin] was to use mystical powers like sorcery and curses to excavate the maximum potential of a human being. But because he had already possessed the special constitution, the [Body of Ten Thousand Spirits from the Underworld]—a lineage from the Age of Myths—the effect had been amplified. Instead of being anchored to the limit of a "normal" human, he had been anchored to the limit of a "perfect individual" of a Mythical-species.
This was why his base attributes had all surpassed the limit of the first tier. Aside from his Spirit, which had not received a boost, he had now touched the limit break in three attributes simultaneously. Once he crossed it, he would become a true, supernatural, mythical human.
And… that wasn't all.
[Advanced Strength: Your force-generation efficiency is increased by an additional 45%.]
His strength was now almost double what it had been. He could easily lift several tons with one hand. Lift, not just push or hoist.
Although he hadn't yet fully adapted to his new body, and his regeneration and immortality hadn't fully stabilized, his strength had already undergone a qualitative leap, far beyond what a normal Reincarnator could achieve by breaking a single limit.
"So this is the power of a bloodline…"
Kaito's eyes swirled. He could now clearly see Lin, two kilometers away in the forest, directing his men to bury a body, and could even hear him cursing the locals as "monkeys."
"So this… is the supernatural…"
