The Root Cause of Bloodline Alteration: Radiation?!

"Hmph, Sister Xiao Wu won't stoop to your level!"

Xiao Wu turned her head away, clearly angry.

"May I ask how Soul Beast change their bloodline by refining special things?" Zhou Qing asked shamelessly.

"Don't you know how to read the room? A girl is angry, don't you know how to comfort her?" Xiao Wu turned around, put her hands on her hips, puffed out her cheeks, and said angrily.

"Um, I'm only six years old. Is this the age where I need to coax girls? Besides, if you want to be coaxed, you should go to Tang San. He's more... gentle and refined. Anyway, don't come to me. I already have enough trouble with Romantina." Zhou Qing made his remarks in the style of a typical straight man.

Seeing that Xiao Wu's face was flushed with anger, Zhou Qing immediately shut up, reached into the Gray Pouch at his waist with his right hand, and took out twenty Gold Soul Coin.

What do you mean by that?

Xiao Wu grabbed the Gold Soul Coin from Zhou Qing's hand, her anger subsiding somewhat. "Is Sister Xiao Wu a greedy person?"

Watching Xiao Wu carefully place the twenty Gold Soul Coin into the rabbit-shaped pouch at her waist, Zhou Qing said blankly, "Absolutely not!"

This scene left Bu Yi stunned, making her wonder if she was out of touch—are kids these days so precocious and humorous?

"Tell me about it?" Zhou Qing pleaded. "How exactly do Soul Beast change their bloodline by refining special ores and herbs? This might be closely related to the fact that Sister Yi's Martial Soul underwent a dramatic change in form and attributes after absorbing her Third Spirit Ring."

Although Sky Dream Ice Silkworm said that the reason why the Elemental Fox was able to complete the transformation of various elemental attributes was because its ancestor refined the blood of the Silver Dragon King, Zhou Qing felt that the blood of the Silver Dragon King was essentially a kind of Heavenly Materials and Earthly Treasures, just a very high-level one. The most crucial factor was the so-called "refining" process.

For Zhou Qing now, the process of Soul Master attaching Soul Ring to Martial Soul is not considered refining at all; it is merely forcing the Martial Soul to adapt to the existence of the Soul Ring.

The only thing Soul Master needs to refine in this process is the excess energy that has entered the human body through the Martial Soul within the Soul Ring.

Even if it is Secondary Refinement, it is merely Grafting, not refining.

Because the Martial Soul itself will not undergo fundamental changes due to the Secondary Soul Ring Refinement.

However, after Bu Yi's Elemental Fox absorbed the Third Spirit Ring, it transformed into Elemental Fire Fox, which was a true refining process!

"Hmph, then I'll tell you."

Xiao Wu said, "In the Star Dou Great Forest, there are many Soul Beast that do not possess any attribute energy. For example, the Gale Wolf. In fact, this kind of Soul Beast did not have any Wind Attribute energy a hundred years ago. It needs to continuously eat a kind of ore containing Wind Attribute energy during the process of growing to a hundred years old in order to control the Wind Attribute energy when it advances to a hundred years old."

"Hmm? What happens if we don't consume ores with Wind Attribute energy?" Zhou Qing pressed.

"What else can it be? It can't become Gale Wolf. In the Martial Soul Encyclopedia, there is a kind of soul Soul Beast called the Swift Wolf. Soul Beast researchers in the Soul Master World divide the Swift Wolf and the Gale Wolf into two different Soul Beast, but in fact, they may be siblings."

Seeing Zhou Qing's surprised expression, Xiao Wu couldn't help but scoff, "Don't think I only play around all day. When I go to the Library to find you, I do browse through some of the books there..."

Not to mention, the story you told me about the Angel God and Rakshasa God, I also found it quite interesting, and I've written it down and put it in Nuoding Library... It's just a pity that nobody ever looks at it.

Has Xiao Wu been influenced by herself?

Zhou Qing sighed inwardly, then asked, "This change in attributes means that the bloodline has changed?"

"Yes."

Xiao Wu said, "Moreover, although the Gale Wolf and Swift Wolf are the same species when they are young, and even have the same mother, they are no longer the same species after they grow up. It is difficult for them to reproduce after mating. My parents said that if they cannot have children, they are not the same Soul Beast species."

Reproductive isolation?

Zhou Qing finally heard about a field he was familiar with.

However, not all Soul Beast have reproductive barriers. For example, dragons and phoenixes seem to have extremely strong aggressiveness and adaptability in their bloodline, and can combine with most species.

"What does the refining process feel like?" Zhou Qing asked.

"I don't know about that, but my two younger brothers... raised two Soul Beast. I sensed them with my Soul Power. It seems that when the Soul Beast were refining the ores and herbs they ate, the ores and herbs would release some kind of peculiar power that would spread throughout every inch of their bodies."

Xiao Wu frowned, pondered for a while, and then slowly spoke.

"A strange power? Soul Power? Pure Heaven and Earth Energy? Or Spiritual Power?" As he asked the question, Zhou Qing's body trembled slightly, as if he had already guessed what kind of power it was.

"No, not at all." Xiao Wu shook her head. "It's more like... light, that's right, sunlight. My two younger brothers said it's similar to sunlight, able to cover the entire body. And during this refining process, you have to control it with your Soul Power at all times, otherwise the 'light' will be too strong and cause the body to rot."

[fester?]

This is radiation, isn't it?!

Zhou Qing shouted in his heart, but he also understood why this true refining process could change one's bloodline.

First of all, Soul Beast have a relatively long lifespan.

This is crucial!

Only a long lifespan allows cells to be constantly renewed and replaced, allowing them to be influenced by some external force, thus causing changes in Genetic Material and blood factors.

Secondly, the so-called refining of ore and alteration of bloodline is when Soul Beast, after consuming a substance containing radiation that can alter its own bloodline, uses its Soul Power to control the intensity of the heat radiation emitted by that substance.

How to control the intensity of radiation?

It's hard to imagine that such advanced technology existed in an era before even science had developed!

but.

After calming down, Zhou Qing also felt that this was not difficult to understand. Radiation is also a part of nature. What's strange about living things in nature being able to utilize radiation?

The science and technology of the past were nothing more than discovering phenomena that already existed in nature, analyzing, summarizing, and generalizing them, thereby creating technological achievements.

The Soul Beast of this world do not understand science, but their instinct for survival and reproduction allows them to evolve the ability to transform their bloodline by refining external ores, which does not seem to be a big problem.
