Wizard: Starts with Advanced Meditation

Bevic's mark requires a vampire to perform the spell on the spot, and the only vampire he had contact with before going berserk was the resurrected "Sotadia".

Thinking of this, Hughes' eyes suddenly turned cold.

"..."

Soon after, he looked again at the wizard lying on the platform.

The other party was not in good condition. Although there was nothing unusual on the surface, the fluctuations of his mental energy were already disordered.

This is also an inevitable side effect of performing a soul-searching procedure on a living creature.

After all, the Soul Searching Technique is a necromancy of the necromancy school, which is a spell that works on the remnants of the souls of the dead, not on living beings.

If it weren't for his own necromancy affinity being level three, he would never have chosen to use this method to search for clues.

But thankfully, the other person is still alive, and that's enough.

"..."

Soon, Hughes took the instruments from Mr. Poison Demon again and began the transplantation of the merman bloodline.

The first step in bloodline transplantation is to extract the recipient's own symbolic blood.

Although in bioengineering, transplanting 50% of the symbolic blood is considered a successful transplant.

However, Hughes's goal was to make the other party a substitute for the merman material in the formula, so he had to transplant 60% merman blood into the other party.

Therefore, he now has to extract 60% of the symbolic blood from the other party, which will undoubtedly make the task much more difficult...

"Buzz—"

Immediately, Hughes released his mental energy, quickly enveloping the transplant recipient.

At the same time, he condensed a few more strands from them and probed them into the other person's blood vessels.

The symbolic blood is no different in form from regular blood, so to find it, one needs to use mental power to carefully investigate.

The blood that contains the other person's original characteristics and whose perception is just like that of the other person is the symbolic blood he is looking for.

Fortunately, Hughes, who had already "trained" his mental strength, proceeded with this step with exceptional ease.

Under his control, several strands of mental energy, as thin as hair, moved flexibly through the other's blood vessels, constantly marking the symbolic blood they detected.

In about five hours, he had marked all the symbolic blood in the other person's body.

Of course, there will be some deviations here; it may not be 100%, but fluctuate around 99%.

However, the error only needs to be kept within 2%, so he can proceed with the next bloodletting step.

"clatter--"

The next moment, Mr. Poison Demon handed over a small, exquisitely designed bottle.

Hughes reached out and took it, then slowly approached the transplant recipient with the bottle in one hand and the knife in the other.

Under the influence of his spiritual power, the flow of those marked symbolic bloods was completely transparent to his perception.

Soon, following the flow of a few drops, he made a precise incision on the recipient's thigh.

"Sizzle—"

The blade easily sliced ​​through the flesh and blood vessels, and at the same time, the few drops of symbolic blood quickly flowed to this spot, mingling with the fresh blood into the bottle that had been brought up below.

"Ding-dong, ding-dong..."

Soon, the bottle was filled with blood, including the few drops of symbolic blood.

Seeing this, Hughes quickly stitched up the wound he had just made, stopping the bleeding.

Then, he gently shook the bottle, and it suddenly lit up with a red light.

"Pfft..."

The next moment, the ordinary blood in the bottle instantly turned into a cloud of blood mist, slowly dissipating out of the bottle, leaving only a few drops of symbolic blood quietly at the bottom of the bottle.

Clearly, this bottle is not an ordinary container, but a blood evaporator from bioengineering.

This piece, which is only about the thickness of an index finger, cost Hughes a full two hundred magic stones, and it can only be used a limited number of times.

However, its effects are absolutely worth the price; what remains at the bottom of the bottle is all symbolic blood, with absolutely no ordinary blood mixed in.

"Sizzle, sizzle..."

"Ding-dong, ding-dong..."

And so, Hughes did the same thing, making cuts on his opponent's body, while the symbolic blood in the bottle increased drop by drop.

"..."

Two hours later, after extracting about 60% of the symbolic blood, Hughes immediately stopped and began transfusing blood to the other party.

The symbolic blood cannot all be drawn away; marking them all is simply to better determine the percentage to be drawn.

Once the other person's vital signs stabilized, Hughes set aside the human blood he had extracted and then took out one of the bottles of merman blood.

The second step in the transplant is to compare the compatibility between the blood symbolizing the mermaid and the blood symbolizing the recipient.

Only after finding these points of convergence can the blood symbolizing merfolk be injected later.

Only through his mental manipulation could he successfully fuse the remaining 40% of human blood with the 60% of merman blood in the recipient's body.

So Hughes put the symbolic blood he had just extracted together with the mermaid's blood.

Then, he drew out two strands of spiritual energy, twisted them into fine threads, and probed them into the two bottles of symbolic blood.

"..."

Theoretically speaking, this step is the most difficult, since the symbolic blood is not different based on race, but on the individual.

After all, they contain not only racial characteristics, but also the characteristics of each individual.

Therefore, the comparison of the so-called "fit point" always starts from an unknown zero, without any precedent for reference.

At the same time, this is naturally the most crucial step in bloodline transplantation, as it directly relates to the degree of fusion between the two bloodlines.

Hughes focused intently on grinding for a full three hours, until fine beads of sweat even appeared on his forehead.

Finally, as the sky darkened again, he discovered all the points of convergence between the two and memorized them.

Then came the final step—injecting and fusing the blood that symbolizes the merman.

This is the most time-consuming step, and also the one that tests bioengineering technology the most.

Hughes not only had to cut several parts of the other person's body to inject symbolic blood.

It is also necessary to devote most of the energy to controlling the newly injected 60% of the merman symbolic blood and the 40% of the symbolic blood remaining in the opponent's body.

Only in this way can the points of convergence between these two symbolic bloodlines gradually fit together under his control until the fusion of bloodlines is completed.

"..."

Time passed by, and before long, the sky outside was beginning to lighten.

The experimental table was already soaked in blood. The transplant recipient was only barely clinging to life thanks to the array on the table, preventing him from dying from excessive blood loss and blood disorder.

As for Hughes, he remained standing beside the experimental table, intently manipulating the two completely different symbolic bloodlines.

At this point, the points of contact between the blood vessels have already largely aligned.
