This puppeteer is a bit... well...

Chapter 131 The Enchanting Poison Body

October 27th.

With everything in place, the Enchanting Poison Body Solution is officially implemented.

A portable space, an operating room isolated from the research lab.

Wan Lijiang lay on the operating table in his hospital gown, feeling anxious and uneasy.

The Poisonous Body – a problem that has puzzled the Yangyan Clan for hundreds of years, can it really be solved?

Even though they saw all sorts of advanced instruments in this laboratory and learned about Ryuji's advanced knowledge and technological understanding, which was ahead of its time.

But she was still very worried.

After all, this is a problem that the Yangyan clan has been trying to solve for hundreds of years without success.

If Ryuji had studied this problem for years, decades, or even more, she wouldn't have had the slightest doubt. But Ryuji only studied it for a month and a half.

This research is still so absurd...

To be honest, if it weren't for Ryuji's work in developing various highly effective antibodies during the research process, she would have thought that the other party was making up lies to train her into a lesbian.

Even now, when the other party says that the time has come to implement a solution, she still has no confidence at all.

Perhaps sensing the girl's unease, Ryuji, who was inspecting preparations at the workbench with his back to her, suddenly asked, "Wanlijiang, there's a question you've thought about?"

"Um?"

The girl's attention was drawn, and she looked up at it.

"Many of you members of the Yangyan clan must have thought about this issue."

"What's the problem?"

"The dangers of the Poisonous Body will cause the population to dwindle, but your Yangyan Clan has managed to survive for hundreds of years before facing extinction. Your clan must have had a considerable population back then!"

"Quite a few," Wan Lijiang said, trying to recall. "I remember when I was a child, my family history teacher said that the Yangyan clan had more than five hundred people several hundred years ago!"

After saying that, she asked curiously, "Is there a problem with that?"

"Is everything alright?"

Ryuji couldn't help but laugh.

He turned around and looked at the girl as if she were a fool. "Since the Poisonous Enchantment will cause the population to decrease, how did so many of you come to be?"

Wan Lijiang was initially annoyed by the man's idiotic gaze, but his attention was immediately diverted after hearing what the man said next.

Yes!

If the Poisonous Body only leads to a decrease in population, how did it grow to a scale of several hundred people hundreds of years ago?

Could it be that the Yangyan clan had a size of several thousand or even tens of thousands of people long ago?

No, no.

No matter how far back in time we go, we can't escape the question of how things started in the first place.

"……I don't know either."

After thinking for a long time, Wanlijiang still couldn't come up with an answer. She said, "Our family experienced a turmoil more than four hundred years ago, and all the historical records before that are gone."

"That's right."

"What's right?"

"My guess."

"guess?"

Long Er pushed the prepared tool table next to the operating table and continued, "I have two guesses. One is that your ancestors did not have the Poisonous Charm Body, but only acquired this physique at a certain period of time, which is why there were so many people in the past."

Upon hearing this, Wan Lijiang eagerly asked, "Can something related to bloodline be obtained suddenly?"

As for bloodline limits... they can be developed by fusing chakra attributes.

For example, Sunagakure's Magnet Release, Pakura's Scorch Release, and even Iwagakure's Bloodline Limit "Dust Release" were all developed without relying on bloodlines.

However, the Poisonous Charm Body is a bloodline limit in the bloodline. Although it still relies on chakra to operate, it cannot be developed by chakra alone.

Just like the Sharingan and Byakugan.

It's the same technique that uses chakra to affect the eyes, but since you don't have their bloodline, you can't achieve that effect.

"Why not?"

Long Er rolled his eyes at her and said, "Genetic mutation, the influence of foreign objects, scientific surgery, and... forbidden techniques related to Yang Release."

At this point, Ryuji fell silent.

He was very inclined to accept the answer that it was the forbidden technique of Yang Release.

For an unknown period of time, the Yangyan clan was numerous and prosperous.

One of the exceptionally talented individuals utilized or developed a forbidden technique called Yang Escape, creating the Enchanting Poison Body, which has continued to be passed down to future generations.

But besides this possibility being more likely, there is another possibility that is even greater.

"What's another guess?"

Upon hearing Wanlijiang's follow-up question, Long Er replied, "Another possibility is that the harm caused by the Enchanting Poison Body is controllable."

"Um?"

Wanlijiang blinked, seemingly unable to understand.

Long Er had no choice but to explain further: "Whether it's controlling the operation of the tumor or controlling the poison that is born, there must be a secret technique to control the Poisonous Body, but this secret technique was lost later."

You mentioned earlier that the Yangyan clan experienced a period of turmoil over four hundred years ago… I suspect that some genius developed the Enchanting Poison Body, which led to this upheaval, or that this upheaval resulted in the loss of the secret technique for controlling the Enchanting Poison Body, leading to the current situation of the Yangyan clan.”

"...Is that how it is?"

Wanlijiang listened, somewhat lost in thought.

She didn't know how she felt, only that if there hadn't been so many problems back then, the Yangyan clan wouldn't be in danger of extinction now!

"Wanlijiang, your Yangyan clan has been trying to solve this problem for hundreds of years but has been unable to do so. There is a reason for this," Long Er continued.

Wanlijiang came to his senses.

She tilted her head, staring at the man, and suddenly laughed, "Is it because our clan hasn't produced a genius like you in hundreds of years?"

"Even if it's produced, it's useless."

The girl's flattery made Ryuji laugh. "Your clan has been researching in the wrong direction from the very beginning, so no matter how talented you are, it's useless. Instead of researching how to remove the tumor, or considering what herbal combinations to use to inhibit its activity, you should be controlling it."

"……so what?"

"I don't know if your clan's history has ever had the power to control it, but what I'm going to do now is to give you complete control over the power of the 'Bewitching Poison Body'."

The man's words completely reassured the girl.

She smiled, lay back down on the operating table, and said, "Let's begin, doctor."

"Don't try to use your charm on me now, it'll kill you."

……

Long Er didn't know if the secret technique for controlling the Poisonous Body truly existed in the history of the Yangyan Clan, nor did he know what the principle behind it was.

Therefore, it is impossible to create such a set of secret techniques in a short period of time.

But he has his own way of doing things.

That's a poison sac.

Hanzo, the salamander of Amegakure, gained super-strong poison resistance by transplanting the venom sacs of a black salamander into his body, which also made his breath highly poisonous.

This led Ryuji to consider transplanting venom sacs to control the highly toxic substance.

Of course, it's definitely not like Hanzo.

Hanzo himself lacked the technical skill, and even after transplanting the venom sac, there was still a risk of him being poisoned.

The alluring poison of the Wanli River is even more potent than that of the Black Mountain Salamander; it's not something that can be easily obtained.

He was merely using this principle to control the poison; he wasn't copying Hanzo.

Long Er's task is not only to transplant the venom sacs, but also to make the venom sacs perfectly integrate with Wanlijiang's body, becoming one with it, just like the Black Mountain Salamander.

If something is something you already have, then it has no flaws.

To put it simply, it's about transformation and evolution.

This further enhanced his Poisonous Body, granting him the ability to control highly toxic substances.

After the war with Amegakure, Ryuji took the salamander's corpse.

Through anatomical studies of the carcasses, we have gained insights into the body structure and physiological characteristics of the salamander.

He was considering using artificial intelligence to revive the salamander and raise it, hoping to get skilled members of Sunagakure to sign contracts with him...

Ahem, we've gotten a bit off-topic.

Now we'll discuss how to resolve the Poisonous Body.

Through his research into the body structure and physiology of the salamander, Ryuji mastered the method of controlling its highly toxic nature.

That is to build a separate drug control system.

With the poison sac as the core, an artificial chakra network and nerve plexus were established.

Once the body produces a potent toxin, it will be absorbed and stored by the venom sac, and then used when needed.

Artificial chakra pathways and nerve plexuses are not difficult to create. With Orange's puppet technology, he can create people who are exactly the same as Wanlijiang, including their souls.

The difficulty lies in the venom sac.

The poison is ever-changing, and each type has extremely powerful lethality, which even the venom sacs of the black mountain salamander cannot withstand.

If the venom sac is damaged during storage, causing the accumulated multiple toxins to erupt, then even if the person has poison resistance, they will most likely die.

That's why Ryuji collects data on the types of Poisonous Imps as much as possible.

He used the venom sacs of the salamander to create new venom sacs from the venom cells that had originally merged with the Wanli River, and then used thousands of kinds of alluring poisons to nurture them, increasing the inclusivity of the venom sacs.

In this way, a poison sac that contains the lethal power of the Enchanting Poison and is perfectly compatible with the Wanli River was created.

This process seems simple.

But in practice... just look at those thousands of highly toxic substances, and think about the countless reactions that occur between each of these substances and the venom sacs... anyone with even a little math knowledge knows that this is an astronomical experimental project.

Without the help of observation instruments, it would probably have taken hundreds of years to calculate this using only human calculation ability.

Long Er first anesthetized Wanlijiang, then unbuttoned his clothes, cut open his abdomen, and took out a scalpel and artificially cultivated veins to modify it.

This is an extremely precise operation. Ryuji was worried that he might make a mistake, so he had already programmed the exoskeleton to allow the machine to assist in the operation.

……

Eight hours later, Ryuji used medical ninjutsu (which the protagonist doesn't know, but is set up on the exoskeleton armor) to heal the girl's abdominal wound, and then looked at the real-time body data graph monitored by the observation device.

everything is normal.

"Phew~"

Ryuji couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.

He used to manufacture them using 3D printers and rarely made any modifications himself.

The surgery lasted eight hours, and even though he was fully controlled by an exoskeleton, he was exhausted.

He pulled down his mask, looked at the still-sleeping girl, and smiled slightly. "Now we'll see how well the venom sacs control the virus."
