Grafting Talents

While the Sea Race outside were figuring out how to unlock the ice wall, Shisui inside the ice cave was also busy.

At this moment, he is absorbing talent.

He had previously decided to give the [Fire Thief] and [Spirit Dream Recall], who were struggling to advance, a new vessel.

Now, Rc Cells have evolved to a terrifying degree and are fully capable of performing this task.

In the past, Rc Cells were too ferocious, essentially beasts that killed, devoured, and completely digested their prey.

It has little awareness of controlling its appetite and hunts purely on instinct.

But after fusing with Undying Cells, things changed.

Perhaps it was because I had become more closely connected with Shisui's soul, or perhaps it was for some other reason.

In short, just like that of the Demon Race's Heaven-Controlling Realm, a small portion of Shisui's consciousness and soul fragments were integrated into the Rc Cells.

The machine of insane killing suddenly found a perfectly suited pilot.

Naturally, this also helps to curb some of the ferocity and preserve the talent that was being devoured.

Rc Cells began to flood into the Alternate Space where Snow Spirit's body was stored.

They began to devour the Snow Spirits, using this as a buffer to slowly approach the Snow Spirit's body that carried two important talents.

To be honest, if there were other ways to improve the level of those two talents, Shisui wouldn't be willing to take such a risk.

Unfortunately, when they were extracted, the original owner's cultivation level was far too low.

Starting from a low point means that you need to work harder to slowly improve yourself by utilizing someone else's potential within their body.

However, this potential has its limits; once it's all burned out, one's level naturally cannot be improved.

Even if one were to be given a different Snow Spirit body, the minor damage inflicted during the separation would require time to heal, and advancement would be equally slow.

In this situation, it's not feasible to completely switch to a different medium.

Inside the Alternate Space, the Rc Cells slowly approached the two talent carriers who had involuntarily begun to tremble.

They instinctively wanted to escape, but the Rc Cells had already surrounded them without them even realizing it.

The bodies of the surrounding Snow Spirits were stained crimson, as the Shisui Psychic Energy belonging to Zisui was gradually invading their bodies.

The Snow Spirit's body, which served as the vessel, dissolved, while the talent itself was enveloped by Psychic Energy and fell into the Rc Cells.

The metabolic rate of the two groups of Rc Cells tissues that received the two talents decreased.

The concentrations of various metabolites used to digest prey were reduced to a minimum.

The talent that was pulled out of the Snow Spirit's body was somewhat damaged.

However, in the mild environment and with exceptionally abundant Psychic Energy, the condition of the two talents began to stabilize.

The purer energy, filtered by Rc Cells, is slowly injected into the vicinity of the talents, allowing them to absorb it on their own.

Like grafting, the two talents were transferred to a thicker stem.

Now we just have to wait for it to recover and for new leaves to sprout again.

After successful grafting, the extremely strong repair capabilities of Rc Cells will also benefit both talents.

In just about half a minute, [Fire Thief] and [Spirit Dream Recall] were fully restored.

I sensed two clusters of Rc Cells within my body that were gradually becoming more active.

Shisui to realize it; they were like his newly grown Kakuhou at that moment.

He tried to use the [Fire Thief].

The Rc Cells within the body that carry the [Fire Thief] begin to activate.

In his palm, a thread composed of Rc Cells extended, carrying the power of the [Fire Thief].

Because Shisui focused on grafting talent, some of the skeletons of the previous batch of Sea Race were still intact.

Just then, Shisui observed and wrapped the [Fire Thief's ] silk threads around it.

His Psychic Energy surged, and he tried to extract something.

The next second, bones shattered, and a murky mass of psionic Psychic Energy drawn out.

Shisui sensed it for a moment, then froze.

"This is?"

He examined it carefully for a moment and found that what he extracted was not a talent, but the remnant soul of a Sea Race.

"Is it because the Undying Cells are primarily focused on the soul that these changes have occurred?"

Shisui speculated.

"No, it could also be because the material's inherent potential has already been fully utilized."

He knew that without more practical experience to refer to, speculation was just speculation.

Fortunately, there were still many Sea Race outside, so he had no shortage of experimental materials.

Shisui then used [Spirit Dream Recall] to probe this thin, almost transparent soul.

The Sea Race's remaining memories were retrieved, Shisui, based on his reflection in the mirror from those memories, casually sculpted a physical body.

The soul was placed inside and, controlled by the Rc Cells, swam out of the ice cave.

A group of Sea Race once lost contact, making their prey outside extremely wary.

The level of vigilance should have been raised to a considerably high level.

Therefore, Shisui speculated that they were very likely to leave some people to guard outside the ice cave, just in case.

As a result, the amount of energy that Shisui could originally obtain will be reduced.

This could very well have some impact on his promotion plans.

After all, it's hard to say exactly how much energy is in his body that's just "a tiny bit" short of being fully stored up.

However, what if, at this crucial moment, someone were to spread false information?

Inform the Sea Race outside that the reason for the loss of contact is that the Second Research Institute has achieved a major breakthrough in its experiments.

For the common good of the Sea Race, everyone who comes to the Second Research Institute must keep this strictly confidential.

Then the situation may change.

If handled properly, this message could potentially cause the prey of those different factions to turn their attention to each other and all enter the ice cave.

Shisui's perception, like a tide, slowly extended beyond the thick ice wall.

At this moment, ten Awakened Ones from the Cheng Family have arrived.

Two kilometers from the ice wall, Shisui could still vaguely sense the presence of sea monsters.

This batch of prey was quite good in both quantity and quality.

If he consumes it completely, it will be enough to fill the last gap, allowing him to accumulate enough strength and prepare to break through the bottleneck of the Fifth Realm.

Cheng Yan woke up in a daze.

He felt he had lost most of his memories.

All he could remember was his own identity and the fact that he had led a team to the Second Research Institute.

His body felt unusually heavy, but he did not stop walking towards the entrance of the Second Research Institute.

Without realizing it, a task appeared in my mind.

He also went to the entrance to let all the Sea Race who had come to the Second Research Institute in, to prevent anyone from leaking information.

If he were still lucid, he would realize that this task is completely illogical.

It's more like a perfunctory excuse.

But this is on the premise that he is still conscious.

The Cheng Yan swam aimlessly.

He arrived at the ice wall outside the ice cave.

Just then, the Sea Race outside broke the formation on the ice wall, and the thick wall slowly parted to both sides.

Cheng Yan stepped forward and appeared before the crowd.

He spoke slowly and directly.

"Gentlemen, I understand you've come with the mission of investigating the Second Research Institute."

"But you can't go in yet."
