Variables (Part 2)

Zhang Rongfang didn't have time to deal with it for the time being because he had to consider Ding Yu's matter.

Now that his mind had returned to normal, he began to carefully observe his own body.

'You don't want to drink blood anymore, but instead want to bleed out? What kind of crazy impulse is that?'

He stretched out his hand and opened his palm.

With just a thought, a drop of Blood Pearl slowly seeped from his palm.

The blood lost in the body was instantly replenished by these few Blood Pearl beads.

The Blood Pearl rolled around in Zhang Rongfang's palm, cool and delicate like blood jade beads.

Looking at the Blood Pearl, a whimsical idea suddenly flashed through Zhang Rongfang's mind.

'Since my previous instinct to absorb blood made me stronger, does this new instinct to bleed out have the same benefits?'

Immediately, he found a container, the bottle that had previously contained the poison.

Then, insert your fingertip into it and control the bleeding with your mind.

Drops of blood dripped continuously from the index finger into the bottle.

As the blood flowed, Zhang Rongfang felt a slight sense of comfort.

He pulled out his finger, picked up the medicine bottle, and shook it.

Suddenly, he had a vague, strange feeling.

It was as if there was a subtle connection between myself and the blood in the bottle.

'Could it be!?' A thought suddenly flashed through Zhang Rongfang's mind.

He had long felt that his previous ability to suck blood was somewhat similar to the Zombie and Vampire you mentioned in his past life.

And now, he can actually connect with the blood that has left his body! Could this mean?! Zhang Rongfang immediately took the medicine bottle and poured the blood back into his palm.

This blood flowed like a river into the sea, instantly merging into Zhang Rongfang's palm and disappearing, returning to his bloodline.

Everything was the same as before. Zhang Rongfang fell silent, listening to the wails coming from Ding Yu next door.

He got up, opened the door, and returned to Ding Yu's Sickroom.

'Let's give it a try. If I really have the abilities of Zombie Vampire, then Ding Yu's situation might not be a big deal.'

Zhang Rongfang stared intently at Ding Yu, making him feel uneasy all over.

That gaze reminded him of the feeling he had when Xu Mengyan, the leader of the Five Cauldrons Sect, stared at him before.

"Don't be afraid. I've thought of a way, let's try it," Zhang Rongfang reassured her.

"My lord, be decisive. I'm already in this state, so I'll Upper Capital whatever it takes!" Ding Yu said resolutely.

Waves of intense itching and pain constantly assaulted his entire body.

He suspected that if things continued like this, he wouldn't make it to tomorrow and might want to commit suicide.

"Okay." Zhang Rongfang nodded, stepped forward, and reached out to press on the artery on the side of Ding Yu's neck.

This was the first time he had ever sucked the blood of his own people.

This was also the first time that his purpose was not to kill, but to save someone by sucking their blood.

It precisely controls the speed of blood absorption.

Zhang Rongfang soon felt a warm liquid slowly seep into his fingertips.

But the warm liquid was clearly different from the blood before; it was teeming with all sorts of living creatures! They were insects!! Zhang Rongfang took a deep breath.

He finally knew what this "World Yang Liquid" was.

This is like cultivating parasites inside the human body! They fill the bloodstream and then flow through all the patient's organs.

This is an incurable biological poison!

These live insects will gradually gnaw on all the organs and tissues of the human body over time.

Fortunately, the worms in Ding Yu's blood seemed to have just awakened and hatched, moving slowly and not in large numbers.

These bloodworms, just sucked into Zhang Rongfang's fingers, were about to slowly swim and settle into their new homes along the new blood vessels.

It was immediately met with an unparalleled and enthusiastic welcome, like cold water being poured into a hot oil pan.

Zhang Rongfang's blood rushed up and enveloped them, forming blood bubbles of varying sizes.

A few seconds later, the blood bubble dissipated, leaving only pure blood inside.

Zhang Rongfang felt an increased heat within his body.

He was even more eager to bleed them. 'Could it be that these insects are actually a great tonic for me?'

A speechless thought flashed through his mind.

After confirming that the poison of World Yang Liquid had no effect on him, he immediately stopped sucking blood from Ding Yu's body. Instead, he pricked Ding Yu's blood vessel with his fingertip and began to block it and let blood flow out.

'If I truly possess the abilities of Zombie Vampire, then I should also be able to transform others through their blood!'

Zhang Rongfang is trying.

He knew that since their blood types were different, a blood transfusion could lead to a severe rejection reaction.

But Ding Yu is out of options now.

His situation at this time was also quite special.

He could vaguely sense that he could control the blood he released.

In this way, it's better to give it a try, even if it seems hopeless, than to just wait and see.

Drop by drop, blood was injected into Ding Yu's body.

The released blood almost actively merged into Ding Yu's blood vessels.

As the blood was drawn and absorbed, Ding Yu clearly felt a cool sensation flowing down her neck.

This coolness was initially scarce, but it spread like wildfire, igniting the parched grassland.

Soon, from the neck, to the head, to the torso, the whole body.

Ding Yu felt as if all the blood in her body was burning.

But contrary to this burning sensation, he felt as if he were falling into an endless Abyss, sinking, sinking, sinking.

The itching and pain on my body gradually disappeared silently as I sank down.

Standing by the bed, Zhang Rongfang could now clearly see the changes in Ding Yu.

To his surprise, he discovered that even though he had only transfused a small amount of blood, it quickly absorbed Ding Yu's blood, like ink falling into clear water, and then began to multiply and divide on its own.

They feed on Ding Yu's blood, devouring it, then splitting themselves, growing, and continuing to devour it, repeating this process over and over.

In just a few minutes, Zhang Rongfang felt as if he could control all the blood in Ding Yu's body! This feeling was very strange.

It's like a part of your own body being placed on another person not far away, separated by a distance.

Limbs that are separated from the body should not be perceived or controlled.

But Zhang Rongfang could still control and sense it.

The large amount of new blood caused all the living worms in Ding Yu's body to be devoured and turned into nutrients.

The bumps and sores on his skin also began to fade, lighten, and dry up.

"It's done!" Zhang Rongfang breathed a sigh of relief. Any potential long-term effects will have to wait until Ding Yu wakes up and further testing is conducted.

There was no rejection reaction, and everything went smoothly.

This made Zhang Rongfang feel more and more like Zombie, or Vampire as described in the West.

Aside from not being afraid of sunlight and having an uncontrollable urge to drink blood, he is otherwise very similar to Vampire!

For example, exceptional physical fitness and extremely fast recovery speed.

Zhang Rongfang, also wondered what he would become after his Blood Flesh Completion.

But he never expected that the Blood Flesh Completion would bring him such a strange ability.

Aside from enhanced senses and Further Progress physical fitness, there were no other notable effects.

Out of curiosity about Ding Yu's current condition, Zhang Rongfang did not go anywhere else, but stayed in the room, waiting for Ding Yu to wake up.

Time passed little by little.

About an hour later.

The setting sun slanted into the window.

Ding Yu slowly opened her eyes from the bed.

"I'm all better!? My body is fine now!?"

He felt an unprecedented sense of comfort, without any itching or pain. His body felt as if it had been washed by pure spring water, leaving him feeling refreshed, clean, and clear.

"Everything's alright for now," Zhang Rongfang replied.

How are you feeling right now?

"It felt so good, sir! It felt like that instant feeling when you stepped into a hot spring after a long training session!" Ding Yu sat up in bed, touching his chest in disbelief.

His body used to be covered with all sorts of bumps and sores, but now, all those bumps are dead, turning into a layer of grayish-white skin, which he tore off with his hands and threw aside.

"And... I feel like I seem to..."

He clenched his fist and felt a unique change in his body.

Then he looked up at Zhang Rongfang.

For some reason, a hint of admiration appeared in his eyes when he looked at Zhang Rongfang.

It's like a traveler returning home after a long journey to study, seeing his kind old father.

"Can you get up?" Zhang Rongfang could sense something was wrong from the look in his eyes.

"Yes!" Ding Yu rolled out of bed, wearing only a short-sleeved shirt and shorts, and moved around freely for a few moments.

"My lord, I feel like my body has become even stronger. What medicine did you give me? How can it be so powerful?!" Ding Yu was somewhat shocked.

He tried to throw a punch forward.

Swoosh! A fist flashed.

This punch was much faster than his previous ones.

"What do you want to eat now?" Zhang Rongfang didn't answer, but continued to ask.

"Spicy pig's blood?" Ding Yu thought for a moment before answering.

Zhang Rongfang was speechless. It seemed Ding Yu was alright. Now, only time would tell whether this method of rescue had any downsides.

"If you can move, come out and test your skills."

He turned around, opened the door, and went out.

Ding Yu followed closely behind, her steps light and graceful, feeling more comfortable and energetic than ever before.

The two left Treasure Harmony Building and stopped at a martial arts training ground near Chen Zhaorong herself.

The training ground was about the size of a football field, with the ground made of compacted black soil and surrounded by a three-meter-high wall to prevent peeping.

The two stood facing each other.

"Come and make your move," Zhang Rongfang said.

He could sense that Ding Yu had undergone some kind of change, but he still needed to observe what that change was.

"Please be careful, sir." Ding Yu immediately clasped his hands in a fist salute and stomped his foot on the ground.

Bang! The other person shot out like an arrow released from a bow.

A muffled thud.

In the blink of an eye.

Ding Yu flew past Zhang Rongfang from the side, tripped over her own feet with her left foot, tumbled to the ground, and slammed her head against the ground, rolling a long way.

"Cough cough, how did I become so fast!?" He struggled to get up from the ground, his face scraped and bloody.

But the bloodstains were fading and healing at a speed visible to the naked eye.

When Zhang Rongfang saw this, his eyes finally understood.

Ding Yu's speed just now was far beyond what External Medicine Super Grade could achieve.

It has at least reached the Internal Method stage, and may even be faster.

It seems that what he guessed was indeed true.
