Invincible from Seeing the BOSS's Health Bar

”Of course, you can also choose the method I just mentioned, to enhance the power of your [Spirit] by optimizing the offspring of the Bloodline Spirit, but in doing so, Diao Ruru, this first-generation Bloodline Spirit, becomes dispensable. Moreover, it takes more than a decade to cultivate a new Bloodline Spirit, which means your offspring, and you also need to find a premium woman to match your body...”

She paused, and Ding Hui blinked her eyes.

”If you don’t mind, there is already a suitable surrogate right in front of you. If we work well together, in seven or eight years, we might be able to rear over ten to twenty Bloodline Spirit offspring, plus my technology...”

”Stop!”

Fang Yu looked at Ding Hui with a speechless expression.

Why does it feel like the topic is getting more and more off-track?

The idea of cultivating a new generation of Bloodline Spirits is out of the question. Probably the Li Family in Li Pincheng is planning to go down this path, with such a large family business, who knows how many illegitimate children there are as reserves for Bloodline Spirit offspring?

As for Fang Yu, not to mention replacing Sister Jin, just the fact that this would take years to iterate makes it impossible for him to push forward in this direction.

Because in a year, no, nine months later, the game will manifest in reality, leaving him no time to work with Ding Hui on Bloodline Spirit offspring research. Even home will be gone.

”Let’s talk about acquiring the ability of [Spirit]. Do you have any clues at the moment?”

Though there are hardly any wild [Spirits] to be found, if he could acquire the ability of a Spirit and arm himself, Fang Yu felt his strength could elevate to the next level.

But Ding Hui was shaking her head.

”It’s just a hypothesis at the moment. To figure out how to proceed with the research, you need to first activate the power of the Bloodline Spirit, then cooperate with me on the research.”

A brand new path means there’s no reference information, and you have to grope every step of the way yourself.

Fang Yu might not understand, but in reality, this is an incredibly slow process.

It’s possible that the iterative optimization route for Bloodline Spirit offspring would produce results faster than this.

However, Ding Hui is confident that as long as Diao Deyi cooperates, she can make progress.

If there’s no predecessor, then be the predecessor yourself!

Paths are paved by people walking them.

The more difficult, the more challenging, the less explored the field, the more it inspires Ding Hui’s research enthusiasm and curiosity.

Watching Ding Hui, not knowing what she was thinking, even her breathing became rapid, Fang Yu felt he should cool her down.

He changed the subject.

”How long until the next town?”

Ah?

Ding Hui was taken aback; the topic shift was a bit abrupt, but she still smiled and said,

”Following the main road, it should be about half a day’s journey. If we take the wild path, it should take one or two hours.”

Fang Yu glanced at the demonization progress and shrank his neck.

Forget it, better to be honest.

Now the demonization can’t be activated, the Yuan Demon Body can’t be activated, and combat power is greatly reduced.

Just activating the Bone Armor, the actual combat strength might be only slightly stronger than a martial artist of the same level.

Sure, the health bar is still thick, but against a stronger Great Demon, it still won’t be enough.

One simply can’t push oneself to a full 100% demonization just to fight for survival and get thoroughly destroyed.

In these past days, on the main road, we’ve encountered several groups of demons.

But they were all large contingents traveling together, and Fang Yu dared not provoke them.

First, fearing they couldn’t be defeated; second, fearing prolonged entanglement would attract stronger demons; third, he was solely focused on researching the power of Spirits to save Sister Jin.

It might be due to the upheaval in Tianyuan Town, causing frequent demon appearances in the wild.

Some are heading towards Tianyuan Town, and others are heading away, migrating like animals, mostly large scale, leaving people at a loss.

As for extracting items from the game into reality with the [Liberation] technique, with Ding Hui’s help in research, Fang Yu has already grasped most of it. What’s left is to completely master the power of the Spirit and conduct actual experiments.

According to Ding Hui, a normal Believer wouldn’t have such difficulty as Fang Yu, activating a power would be learned naturally like breathing.

Why is it so hard for Fang Yu then? Ding Hui speculated three reasons.

First, the structure of the Bloodline Spirit is unlike conventional [Spirits]; entering a new field entails unknowns, naturally making it challenging to find an approach.

Second, the Bloodline Spirit’s entity, Diao Ruru, is akin to being dormant, with no interaction or feedback from the host. A non-responsive Bloodline Spirit can’t provide feedback or guidance like a normal Spirit.

Third, conventional Spirits come with [abilities]. When one demonstrates an ability, it naturally invokes the Spirit’s power. But the Bloodline Spirit, Diao Ruru, has no abilities, thus can’t let the host naturally use the Spirit’s ability and master an entire process as effortlessly as breathing.

Currently, there are quite a few issues with the Bloodline Spirit. According to Ding Hui, even Li Xunxue is just a half-finished product, a ragtag assembly that’s barely functional under research, but to reach perfection, the road is still long.

But for now, it’s no longer the time to research perfect integration of the Bloodline Spirit with the host, or rather, Fang Yu has surpassed that phase.

Ding Hui wants to research, but now’s not the time for that; attention needs to be directed elsewhere.

Taking a deep breath, Fang Yu closed his eyes.

Ding Hui also stopped, standing guard nearby.

Boom.

Bone Powder quaked, and Bone Armor covered the whole body.

This was a little trick Fang Yu discovered through practical use.

When the Primordial Body Technique envelops the entire body, the completely sealed body heightens the perception of the Bloodline Spirit’s power a bit.

Although the effect is minor, it’s better than nothing.

Fang Yu’s thoughts settled down.

If the power of the Demon Bloodline sources from the bloodline and flows through tangible things like blood.

Then the Spirit’s power connects body through the Spirit.

But Spirit, in and of itself, is too intangible.

Luckily through these days of research and with the help of the Primordial Body Bone Armor, Fang Yu gradually captured a sense of it.

Recalling the theories taught by Ding Hui, methods like mental stimulation, the floating state of Sister Jin during sleep, and encounters with Believers these days, even experiments with the Red Moon Demon’s experimental body [Hidden Light Demon] and the scenes during its demon frenzy...

Gradually, in the hot sun, on the main road, Fang Yu’s feet slowly lifted off the ground, hovering a centimeter, then two, then three...

Ding Hui was the first to notice the situation, her eyes immediately lit up!

As if discovering some precious treasure, excitedly she dared not speak, her body trembled with excitement, nervously observing every condition of Fang Yu’s body.

When Fang Yu’s feet were about five centimeters off the ground...

”Help! Help!!!”

A nearly voice-breaking cry for help suddenly emerged from the dense forest beside the main road.

Fang Yu was jolted awake from that state, and the support of that power slipped away.

Bone Powder scattered with a rattle, the Bone Armor was released simultaneously, as he slightly fell and his feet touched the ground.

Swish—

Before Fang Yu could cast his gaze that way, a line of sight, more aggressive and imbued with intense murderous intent than Fang Yu’s, swept toward there!

It was Ding Hui.

Her murderous intent was as if she wished to tear the source of the cry for help into pieces, kill on the spot.

Only when her figure was blocked and shielded by Fang Yu, did Ding Hui slightly pause in surprise, her emotions calmed.

”Something happened in Tianyuan Town, demon migration, someone must have had bad luck and ran into a demon horde. We should hurry and avoid it; better to have less trouble than more.”

Ding Hui said in a low voice.
