Wizarding Age: I can analyze everything

Chapter 137 Bloodline Activation Technique, Improved Bloodline Imprint

"Trying to run away?"

Pei Ze sneered and leaped after him, simultaneously throwing a section of bright red vine that shot towards Pei Zhanqing.

In mid-air, the vines suddenly grew stronger, and with a hiss, countless blood-red vines shot out, instantly wrapping around Pei Zhanqing's snake body and binding him tightly to the spot.

These blood-red vines are the biological artifact that Pei Ze obtained from Gong Xinghe.

It has two abilities.

One method is to entangle the target and absorb its energy particles.

One is to incubate flesh and blood puppets.

Neither of these abilities was of much use to Pei Ze, so after he used the Appraisal Technique to appraise them, he kept them in his spatial ring.

This is perfect for stopping Pei Zhanqing from escaping.

Pei Zhanqing's enormous snake body twisted and struggled wildly, its blood-red maw tearing at the vines on its body.

Driven by Pei Ze's relentless pursuit of profit, every time a section of the crimson vine broke off, a new vine grew out, always tightly binding the snake's body.

Taking advantage of this opportunity, Pei Ze and Wu Yu caught up and launched a fierce attack.

Lightning and the power of death raged across the enormous snake's body, causing Pei Zhanqing to scream in agony.

Severely injured, he could no longer maintain his Yugro giant serpent form and quickly shrunk back to human form.

At this moment, he was covered in blood and looked utterly disheveled, showing none of his previous arrogance.

"Spare me! Spare me!"

Even a dignified second-level wizard couldn't help but show a pleading expression when faced with death.

Unfortunately, all he received in response was a merciless blow from Pei Ze.

A fist crackling with lightning tore through the air and smashed his head apart with a single punch!

Bang!

Fresh blood mixed with semen splattered everywhere.

Pei Zhanqing's headless corpse twitched violently for a moment, then collapsed to the ground, motionless and lifeless.

Not far away, Pei Yonggao stared blankly at the scene, his mind blank, his mouth agape, unable to utter a word.

It wasn't until he met Pei Ze's cold gaze as he turned around that he suddenly jolted awake.

At that moment, all hatred and malice were thrown to the back of his mind, and his will to survive instantly took over.

"Don't"

Pei Yonggao opened his mouth to speak, but before he could finish, a silver light shot out like a meteor and pierced through his brow with a hiss.

thump!

The body fell to the ground.

After killing Pei Yonggao, Pei Ze let out a long breath, the silver color on his body receded like a tide, and the halo of the lightning runes also dissipated instantly.

A deep weariness instantly swept over him. Forgetting all about appearances, he plopped down on the ground, panting heavily.

Today's battle was arguably the most dangerous one he had ever faced.

He was so close to losing.

Deep within his mind, his spiritual energy was nearing its end.

If Pei Zhanqing had just held on a little longer, it would have been his turn to give up.

By then, he could only manage to escape the dimensional anchor's range and use the teleportation scroll his teacher had given him to run away.

Fortunately, he was ultimately the more skilled one.

However, although they won, the cost was not small.

"Besides the Flash Magic tattoo, the other four magic tattoos need to be redone."

"And this magical artifact."

Pei Ze looked at the blood-red vine in his hand.

The crimson vines have been damaged after being used excessively just now.

Once such a biological artifact is severely damaged, it is unlikely to recover, or rather, it is not worth the cost.

It can be said that this magical artifact is now useless.

Although it was just a first-tier magical artifact that he didn't usually use, it was still worth several thousand magic stone coins, which still made Pei Ze feel a little pained.

With the addition of four magic tattoos, he lost eight or nine thousand magic coins in this battle.

"Hopefully the spoils will make up for my losses."

After resting for a while, Pei Ze got up and went to Pei Zhanqing's corpse. After searching around, he obtained a spatial ring and a second-tier magical artifact, namely the scorching flame robe that the latter was wearing.

With a single appraisal, Pei Ze quickly obtained relevant information about the robe.

This is a defensive magical artifact. The moment it is attacked, it can release a fire shield to block the damage and in turn inflict fire damage on the attacker. It can be described as a powerful magical artifact that combines offense and defense.

"That's right, this magical artifact doesn't conflict with Silver Star, so now we have another means of defense."

Pei Ze nodded in satisfaction and put away the Blazing Flame Robe.

This magical artifact was quite damaged in the battle just now and needs to be nurtured for a while before it can be used again.

Pei Ze glanced at the spatial ring and put it away as well.

Now is not the right time to take stock of the spoils.

Following that, Pei Ze searched Pei Yonggao's person and took away his spoils of war.

He then stared at the two corpses on the ground and fell into deep thought.

"The body must be taken away too," Pei Ze muttered to himself.

It wasn't to destroy the evidence, but rather because he had rarely encountered two formal wizards from bloodline families, and he wanted to study the Yogro Serpent bloodline in these people.

The giant serpent Yugro that Pei Zhanqing transformed into was actually just an empty shell, lacking even a fraction of the physical strength of the real Yugro serpent, and it didn't inherit even a trace of shadow power.

Even so, it still took him a lot of effort to solve it.

This sparked Pei Ze's intense interest and curiosity about the bloodline of the Yugro Serpent.

If we use our all-knowing eye to study it, we might gain some useful insights.

"Speaking of which, where did those two go?"

Pei Ze suddenly remembered Su Ya and Peng Yan, and gave orders to Chao Wuyu.

"Go and fetch them."

With a cry, Wu Yu separated into hundreds of mist crows that flew in all directions.

Pei Ze then went to the battlefield photinia and restored it to its seed form.

The battlefield heather, having lost its fighting ability, didn't put up much resistance and was obediently taken back.

Just then, the mist crow that had gone out to look for people returned and carried back the unconscious Su Ya and Peng Yan.

The three giant eagles were also there.

Pei Ze frowned, stepped forward to check on them, and saw that the two people and the giant eagle were only under the influence of a sleep spell. He then relaxed his brow and woke the two people up.

"S-Sir?"

Su Ya opened her eyes groggily, staring blankly at Pei Ze. After several seconds, she suddenly realized what was happening and quickly got up, looking around as if facing a formidable enemy. To her astonishment, she found that the enemy had already fallen to the ground.

And there was more than one; there was also a headless corpse.

"Sir, who is this person?" Su Ya was completely confused.

Pei Ze waved his hand, offering no further explanation, and simply tossed each of them a spatial ring.

The spatial ring belonged to Pei Zhanqing and Pei Yonggao, and he had already transferred everything inside into his own spatial ring.

"This is a spatial ring. Transfer the items from your dimensional bags into it, then give me the dimensional bags; I need them."

Su Ya and Peng Yan were stunned for a moment before they realized what was happening and did as instructed without hesitation.

They wouldn't refuse such a good deal—exchanging a dimensional bag for a spatial ring—even if it weren't for Pei Ze's orders.

Holding the dimensional bag, Pei Ze separated the two corpses and put them into the dimensional bag.

It wasn't that he was a germaphobe, but rather that Pei Yonggao had been possessed by an evil spirit, and his body still carried the negative energy and evil thoughts of that spirit. His corpse had become a source of infection, and if it were placed with other things and caused contamination, he would be in deep trouble.

Although Pei Zhanqing seemed normal, it was better to be safe than sorry, so it was safer to place him separately in a dimensional bag as well.

After disposing of the body, Pei Ze looked at the lingering negative energy and malevolent thoughts in the surrounding air and rubbed his head in exasperation.

The infection from evil spirits is permanent; the residual negative energy and evil thoughts will not dissipate over time if left untreated.

On the contrary, if someone passes by here, they can easily be possessed by evil thoughts and may inadvertently create new evil entities.

"After all, it started because of me."

Pei Ze sighed and told Su Ya and Peng Yan to move away so he could clear away the negative energy and evil thoughts from the scene.

The best way to clear it up is naturally to use positive energy, so that positive and negative energy cancel each other out.

And he happens to know a positive energy spell—Plant Aura.

Mobilizing his remaining spiritual energy, Pei Ze released dozens of plant-based spiritual lights in one go, finally clearing away the residual negative energy and evil thoughts.

Seeing that Pei Ze had finished dealing with the situation, Su Ya stepped forward and asked, "Sir, what do we do next?"

Without hesitation, Pei Ze said, "Let's go back to Red Maple City."

He's practically no longer a tenth of his former fighting strength; under these circumstances, attacking fortifications would be tantamount to suicide.

It's better to go back and rest for a few days, and then come back to carry out the mission after you've finished getting the magic tattoo.

So the group set off back to Red Maple City.

We set off in the morning and returned before noon.

The wizard guarding the city gate looked at Pei Ze and his companions with a puzzled expression.

Pei Ze ignored him and went straight into the city.

Back in the stone house, Pei Ze wrote a letter, summoned Peng Yan, and gave him the letter.

"Go back to Dawn City and deliver this letter to the Tower Academy, to my teacher, Lord Moweng."

Peng Yan didn't ask why, agreed without saying a word, and turned to leave.

Pei Ze then returned to his bedroom in the stone house, sat down, and began to meditate.

This meditation lasted until late at night.

Having recovered more than half of his mental energy, Pei Ze opened his eyes, let out a long sigh, and took out his spatial ring to begin taking stock of his spoils.

This time of year always makes people feel happier.

And the result did not disappoint him.

Pei Zhanqing and Pei Yonggao together possess tens of thousands of magic stone coins.

If you include all the materials, the value definitely exceeds 30,000 magic stone coins.

The majority of the money came from Pei Zhanqing.

In addition, Pei Zhanqing's spatial ring also contains three faith crystals.

This is undoubtedly a huge surprise.

"As expected of a second-level wizard, he is indeed very wealthy."

Pei Ze was overjoyed. With these three crystals of faith, he had made up for all the resources he needed to break through to the liquefaction stage.

A breakthrough can be achieved in the next few days.

In terms of magical artifacts, in addition to the Blazing Flame Robe, each of them also had a Tier 1 magical artifact in their spatial rings.

Unfortunately, after examining the artifacts with his appraisal skill, Pei Ze discovered that neither of them was of any use to him.

"I'll sell it another day and exchange it for magic stone coins."

To Pei Ze's regret, neither Pei Zhanqing nor Pei Yonggao had any information related to the Bloodline Activation Technique in their spatial rings.

"That's true, how could you possibly carry such important core knowledge around on your person?"

Pei Ze sighed in disappointment.

But the next second, he suddenly had a flash of inspiration and came up with a good idea.

Acting on his idea, Pei Ze immediately left the stone house and went to rent a laboratory near the exchange.

Inside the laboratory, Pei Ze set up an isolation array and then took out Pei Zhanqing's body.

After carefully examining Pei Zhanqing to ensure that he was not tainted by any negative energy or evil thoughts, he dispelled the magic array and began to dissect the corpse.

Although he rarely conducted experiments or dissections himself because he mostly used the All-Seeing Eye for analysis and detection, the relevant knowledge was already stored in his mind, making it easy to put into practice.

With the guidance of the all-seeing eye, Pei Ze quickly overcame the initial unfamiliarity and gradually became proficient.

More than two hours later, he put down the test tube containing the blood and gave a new instruction.

"Omniscient, based on experimental data, I have deduced the bloodline activation technique of the Yugro Giant Serpent."

[Task created, initiating calculation of the Yugro Serpent's bloodline activation technique, estimated energy level required: 167.2]

Pei Ze nodded secretly. Sure enough, with the corpse and blood samples in hand, the deduction wouldn't be too difficult.

Coming to his senses, he tidied up the lab bench and then took out two memory crystal balls.

These were also found in Pei Zhanqing's spatial ring, each containing records of two different secret techniques.

One of them is a secret method for refining bloodline imprints.

The so-called bloodline imprint refers to an imprint containing the power of ancient bloodline organisms.

Generally speaking, only when a person from a bloodline family advances to the level of a wizard, and their spirit and physique undergo a fundamental sublimation, can they awaken the ancient biological bloodline within them.

During the apprenticeship stage, apart from a very few geniuses who can partially awaken their bloodline, most people are actually unable to utilize the ancient biological bloodline within their bodies.

To change this situation, some wizards created bloodline marks.

Wizards who inherit the bloodline of the same ancient creature can leave a bloodline mark on their wizard apprentices at a certain cost.

By activating their bloodline imprint, wizard apprentices can temporarily master bloodline power, greatly increasing their strength.

Just like Meng Wei, whom Pei Ze encountered during the trial.

When the two were fighting, Meng Wei activated his bloodline mark, transforming into the Silver Frost Wolf form, which greatly increased his strength.

If it weren't for Pei Ze, none of the wizard apprentices participating in the trial would have been a match for Meng Wei, thanks to his bloodline mark.

"Bloodline imprint?"

Pei Ze's eyes flickered slightly.

Each bloodline family has its own secret method for creating bloodline imprints.

Wizards who have not inherited the bloodline of the corresponding ancient creatures cannot create bloodline imprints, let alone use them, even if they obtain secret techniques.

But he's different.

The all-seeing eye means that anything is possible.

"Omniscient, improved bloodline imprint secret method."

Please specify the direction of improvement.

"Remove the restriction that non-bloodline users cannot create and use it, and enhance the power of the bloodline mark."

[Quest created, initiating the improvement of the Bloodline Imprint Technique, estimated energy level required: 389.2]

Pei Ze smiled slightly and looked at the second memory crystal ball.

This memory crystal ball contains the technology for extracting the bloodline of serpentine magical creatures to enhance oneself.

There are two main areas for improvement.

One is physical constitution.

One is an affinity for shadows.

The former is easy to understand, while the latter should be to complement the bloodline of the Yogro Serpent.

After all, the Yogro Serpent is an ancient creature that wields the power of shadow.

"With some improvements, this technology could also be used to enhance my abilities."

Pei Ze pondered to himself.

However, all three task bars are currently full, so he can only put this matter aside for now and deal with it later when he has more time.

Overall, although the experience was thrilling, it was also incredibly rewarding.

Leaving aside the large amount of magic stone coins, valuable materials, and the Blazing Flame Robe, what pleased Pei Ze the most were the three knowledge points.

For him, this knowledge was the real wealth.

If any one of these techniques is used well, it can greatly enhance his strength.

It is foreseeable that his strength will see a leap forward in the near future.
