“Source Force Transplantation Technique: Beginner Level.”
A newly emerged skill, brightly displayed next to the Totem Drawing skill. When focusing his mind on it, he could see its introduction.
“Effect: Utilize Source Power to eliminate the rejection reaction of fusion, integrating foreign organs as part of the host, allowing them to function normally. The effect is weak on non-similar organisms, but outstanding for those with Bloodline connections.”
Being a beginner was already quite impressive; the other three in the laboratory were among the few selected from tens of thousands in the academy, yet their abilities were only so-so.
However, Xiar would not stop here. Learning was merely a step; for him, once he formed the Skill Icon, all he needed to do next was click on it.
So, let’s begin. One Evolution Point vanished in an instant.
“Source Force Transplantation Technique: Proficient Level.”
Xiar felt a warm sensation coursing through his body, various energies flowing within him. A surge of inexplicable information flooded into his mind, instantly revealing the powerful effects of this Combination Spirit Technique.
Continuing on, another Evolution Point disappeared!
“Source Force Transplantation Technique: Master Level.”
This time, the energy surging within Xiar reached a near-boiling point. A vast amount of information poured into his mind, clearly reaching a critical threshold that he could barely maintain given his current condition.
Yet, it was still not enough!
“Source Force Transplantation Technique: Grandmaster Level.”
As a full eighteen Evolution Points flowed away, the information surging in Xiar’s mind erupted completely, akin to a volcano on the verge of eruption.
However, this time he had the experience to cope with it. Moreover, it was essentially a matter of pure knowledge and understanding, with no significant changes to his body, allowing him to handle it easily.
Now he was confident in his grasp of the Combination Spirit Technique. Even Gafiel, the original creator, might not be stronger than him.
After preparing thoroughly, Xiar began the transplantation experiment.
On Aqua Star, the need for organ transplants mostly arose from the failure and degeneration of existing organs, reaching a point where replacement was unavoidable.
However, each organ transplant came with various side effects, and the mortality rate due to postoperative complications remained high.
Furthermore, the rejection reactions between different individuals' organs subjected patients to lifelong torment, requiring long-term use of immunosuppressive drugs that could lead to complications like diabetes, significantly shortening their lifespan compared to normal individuals.
But in this world, things were entirely different. The application of various miraculous Spirit Techniques allowed this surgery to easily resolve rejection reactions.
Not only that, but it could also enable perfect integration of the organs, even allowing powerful beings' organs to merge with those of weaker ones, thereby strengthening the host.
The experiment he was about to conduct was precisely this: he needed to fuse a particular fiber from a unique Ocean Vine organism into an Octopus's body to greatly enhance its resilience and increase its attack power.
Xiar held a sharp scalpel, his hands moving with machine-like precision as he made an incision at a knot on the light red vine, extracting a spherical mass. He then carefully removed the accompanying threads and immersed them in a nearby light green nutrient solution.
Next, he cut open the Octopus's skin and sutured the thread ball inside its body. After that, all that was left was to apply the Spirit Technique.
A light red glow from the Spirit Technique shone brightly, flowing over the Octopus's body and silently merging into it, causing its body to tremble uncontrollably.
Gafiel watched in astonishment—no, it was more than astonishment; it was shock. He never expected that this guy connected with Leslitto would possess such extraordinary talent in transplantation experiments and mastery of Spirit Techniques.
The other three were like infants learning to speak compared to him; there was no comparison at all.
The Source Force Transplantation Technique was one of the three core abilities he had mastered, developed through over a decade of dedicated research using a series of runes, forming what was known as the Combination Spirit Technique.
The Combination Spirit Technique involved combining two or more Spirit Techniques to create a complex overlay, achieving results that were astonishingly greater than the sum of their parts.
Countless individuals outside desired to learn it, but this was his signature skill, one he had poured countless efforts into; how could he casually teach it to others?
It seemed he had stumbled upon a treasure and should consider it carefully...
After consuming three Source Crystals in succession, Xiar halted the glow of his Spirit Technique, while the Octopus under his command regained consciousness and began to thrash its Tentacles in a desperate attempt to escape.
However, it was trapped within the Source Power barrier and could not break free.
“Let’s verify,” Gafiel said calmly.
“Understood,” Xiar replied respectfully. He always held great respect for those who genuinely taught him.
Next, he threw an irregular spherical object in front of the Octopus. Its eight Tentacles quickly wrapped around it, binding it tightly while continuously squeezing.
Then, the nearby Firefly's eyes flashed with purple light, prompting it to release the sphere.
Xiar reached out and grabbed it, placing it into a Stretching Machine. Two steel arms seized one of its Tentacles and began to stretch it until it snapped before stopping.
After completing a series of data collection, Xiar summarized his report: “Teacher, this transplantation fusion was very successful; power increased by 0%, and stretching resilience improved by 50%…”
“You did well. Next, you will learn how to amplify the advantages of a specific organ, which is known as targeted cultivation,” Gafiel nodded and turned to enter his Independent Laboratory.
Xiar hurriedly followed, his eyes filled with joy; all his hard work had not been in vain.
In the laboratory, there was little difference from a public lab, but it was shrouded in a chilling aura of immense Source Power Fluctuation. Rays of Spirit Technique light enveloped the entire lab like a cage.
Clearly, this was a defensive system deployed by the other party using their formidable strength.
The Spirit Technique of a Spirit Master was not particularly powerful; most required totemic cooperation. Thus, Xiar casually glanced around and realized that a nearby potted plant was clearly no ordinary object.
Within it lay a hidden, immense energy, and a strong mental wave subtly emanated from it, causing Firefly, who sat on his shoulder, to hunch down and watch it warily.
“Xiar, why do you want to learn about this?” Gafiel asked softly, staring at him.
He paused for a moment and replied without hesitation, “It’s simple, teacher. Don’t you think that being able to recombine and transform various organisms to create what one needs is a power comparable to that of a creator?”
“The feeling of creating new life fascinates me. I want to devote all my energy to it and gradually change the entire world!”
“A creator…” Gafiel fell silent for a moment. “I didn’t expect your thoughts would align with mine back then.”
“When I studied biological knowledge, I saw many organisms with various flaws, which sparked the desire to modify them—to combine their many advantages into the perfect form that exists only in imagination.”
“The world has given us life but also many shortcomings. What we Spirit Masters need to do is change these destined deficiencies.”
“In other words, it’s about changing fate!”
