Online: I Can See Health Bars

"Take your blood clots, for instance. If dropped into her body, they would be dissolved by her, but other people's blood might be absorbed by her. The most terrifying thing is that the person who transformed this woman has turned this extremely unstable trait into a controllable stable state! She can even adjust it flexibly based on her own awareness!"

"Such ingenious craftsmanship is truly unheard of, unseen! If I hadn't recently researched Yuan Hongxin's materials and gained new insights into the spirits, humans, and demons, I might not have been able to notice the subtleties."

Ding Hui sighed deeply.

"There's always someone better. Once upon a time, I thought I was the most thorough and in-depth researcher in Tianyuan Town on demons, humans, and spirits. Now it seems that within the Five Great Families, each has its masters. Just like the person behind the woman from the Li Family, their profound foundation and extensive research are way beyond mine in certain aspects!"

Ding Hui is a proud person.

In Fang Yu's memory, he had hardly ever seen her belittle herself like this.

This was obviously triggered by the research on Li Xunxue's body.

After all, typically no one delves deeply into demons or spirits.

Such uniqueness even in the Foolish Underworld, how could she expect that in Tianyuan Town there would be others like her, conducting similar research?

If such geniuses gathered to research together, it would truly be an academic carnival.

Unfortunately, that's not very realistic.

Fang Yu was almost dissecting Li Xunxue, if her father behind the scenes knew about it, he might just rid of Fang Yu and Ding Hui upon meeting, leaving no room to discuss academic issues.

But those who research academics usually aren't very strong, right? After all, they need to spend time on academics, specializing in one area means naturally lagging in others.

Perhaps, Li Xunxue's father couldn't even beat me.

Fang Yu felt a slight relief, then patted Ding Hui on the back to comfort her.

"People specialize in different fields; you research demons, he researches spirits, how can it be the same? Besides, now that you have thoroughly researched Li Xunxue, isn't it just like taking his research results over? Your research ability has greatly improved, you can catch up."

Upon hearing this, Ding Hui just shook her head dismally.

Easier said than done.

Regarding Li Xunxue's current situation, Ding Hui could guess the general direction based on the basic principle.

But the theory, details, research process, materials used, and all aspects of everything, those would take years to accumulate.

What's most terrifying is that it involves a human!

A human's blood, flesh, and bones are specialized, unique, one-of-a-kind.

Meaning, the person behind this did very deep research specifically on Li Xunxue to achieve these results.

But this type of research could only be applied to Li Xunxue alone; switching to another person, all the data would need to be recalculated, all materials retested.

The cost and complexity only accumulate over a prolonged period.

Ding Hui could attempt to replicate if she wished, and there might be a chance of success.

But the time consumed would also be calculated in years. With some luck, a few months might yield some results since she can reverse-engineer the existing product.

But it would also take a long time and the benefits are uncertain, even possibly leading to great frustration since she'd be treading a path already taken by someone else, facing countless potential failures.

However, Ding Hui remains very interested in taking up the challenge, just not now.

The same amount of time, if spent researching materials from Yuan Hongxin's side and combining her knowledge, could provide much faster progress.

Then later, switching back to researching this so-called Bloodline Spirit would yield twice the result with half the effort.

Taking a deep breath, Ding Hui adjusted her mood and looked at Fang Yu.

Then she suddenly realized Fang Yu's hand was gently patting her back, sweat had soaked through her clothes, making the fabric thin, giving a very direct tactile feedback.

This scene could have been somewhat ambiguous, but Ding Hui felt no such sensation in her heart, just finding company with the young man before her quite comfortable, and that was all.

"Diao Deyi, you're right. The structural changes in Li Xunxue's body definitely couldn't have been completed in a short time; it's the result of others' work over years or even decades. Me trying to directly compare my abilities with theirs is sheer arrogance. Everything needs to be done step by step... Speaking of which, didn't you want to meet Li Baizhen? I'll call him out for you."

Fang Yu was stunned for a moment, even stopping his back-patting action.

"Is that possible???"

"Let's try, it should be fine. But you need to consider, Li Baizhen has now become a kind of consumable."

"What do you mean???"

"Simply put, Li Xunxue's body structure has changed into two states: dissolving and containing. It's somewhat akin to the concepts of liberation and lockdown."

Ding Hui thought and continued:"Liberation is the process of releasing her stored blood in large quantities, which she can control through her own consciousness, presumably providing combat enhancements."

"While lockdown is about confining Li Baizhen, this blood-relative spirit, within her body, turning him into a spirit-like existence, for absorption and consumption."

"Every fight Li Xunxue participates in would rapidly consume Li Baizhen, this Bloodline Spirit. If you had let her go all out in a fight earlier, by the time you subdued her, Li Baizhen might have been reduced to mere remnants."
