Sea Tiger Blast Punch

The genuine Doctor Death was capable of ranking among Shuka's top three cadres. Besides being a researcher leading Shuka's monster modification work, his strength as the Squid Monster was not to be underestimated.

Although this Doctor Death was a counterfeit, he was Wei Xiuming in disguise. Under the power amplification of Magnetic Field Rotation, his strength was terrifying.

Doctor Death threw aside his ridiculous cape, clenched his right fist, and as his power surged, his suit sleeves vibrated. Then, he punched at the Vampire that was attacking him, "Electric Current Propulsion, Sea Tiger Blast Punch!"

Dodging the tentacle that stabbed like a spear, Doctor Death's punch struck the Vampire's torso. The surging fist energy was blasted into its body, exploding it from the inside out. The completely pulverized Vampire was flung outwards in the direction Doctor Death had punched, decorating the area with its own flesh and bone fragments. Its shattered exoskeleton was stuck to the wall, forming a grotesque mural with its mottled colors.

Under the effect of Amazon Cells, the Vampire's vitality was extremely tenacious. Even after being pulverized, its scattered flesh and blood began to gather around a central point. Within a minute, a crude humanoid shape had reformed. Although it resembled a horrifying being stripped of its skin from a horror movie, the details on its body were constantly improving as the flesh and blood coalesced. It was estimated that it would recover completely before long.

As a prerequisite for Magnetic Field Rotation, Electric Current Propulsion was an inevitable stage for superpowered individuals. Wei Xiuming, who valued his life, still went through this process, even though he possessed the ability of Magnetic Field.

The Sea Tiger manga stated that Electric Current Propulsion was the power generated by high-speed friction of one's own cells through consciousness. Wei Xiuming had verified that various methods failed, and he could only achieve this idea by controlling his own Magnetic Field.

Fortunately, using different types of electric currents to treat illnesses and condition the body was a common method in human physical therapy, with abundant mature theories and practical experience. Wei Xiuming's progress through this stage was very smooth. It was also thanks to this that Wei Xiuming's strength grew progressively, allowing him to control his power at will rather than blindly pursuing destructive force.

Otherwise, with the life-extinguishing ability of Magnetic Field Rotation, even just Electric Current Propulsion would have meant the end of the first officially appearing Vampire in this world. All its cells would have had only one option under the force of the punch: complete annihilation.

As for skills like the Sea Tiger Blast Punch, Wei Xiuming didn't believe he had the same terrifying talent as Sea Tiger's Bai Junlang, who could get started and forge his own martial path just from introductory books and movies. He relied on modern technology to assist him, collecting a total of 127 types of traditional, modern, and military/police combat techniques from around the world. By combining knowledge of human biomechanics and his own condition, he fed it into a computer for simulation calculations, and successfully created a martial art that belonged only to him.

While he couldn't fully replicate the exquisite martial arts of the original four powerhouses, he could simulate them closely enough.

"So, Mr. Victor, can this thing of mine change the landscape of the vampire... the Blood Clan society?" Doctor Death asked, looking at Victor on the tablet screen with an unquestionable tone, carrying the momentum from his recent kill of the Vampire.

To be honest, if it weren't for the need to fulfill the boasts he made to Nick Fury and to recoup some funds, Wei Xiuming wouldn't have wanted to deal with vampires. After all, they were vampires; while draining bones and sucking marrow wasn't part of their usual diet, it was close enough.

Creating the Vampire race and conducting human experiments was simple. Just find a dirty, run-down bar, and you were sure to find some low-level vampires hunting for prey. It would just take sending out more people and covering more ground.

"Interesting. It's been ten years since I've seen something this interesting," Victor said. "I can still trade an oil field for the data on Amazon Cells!"

Victor maintained a skeptical attitude towards this unknown technology. Although he wasn't strongly inclined to use it on himself, it didn't stop him from wanting to acquire it. If the success rate was high, he could also use Amazon Cells to strengthen a squad to serve him. Humans could twist someone's will through brainwashing and other methods to cultivate killers and death warriors, like the famous Winter Soldier. It was impossible that the Blood Clan didn't have similar or even more efficient methods.

Power shifts were rarely gentle, especially among long-lived species, and even more so when they were cruel. Ancient emperors, to secure their thrones, didn't even trust their own children. While training them as qualified heirs, they watched them closely to prevent coups, then "voluntarily" became retired emperors.

In Victor's view, military force was necessary. Even if it was preparation to overthrow the Thirteen Pureblood Elders, it was also to prevent someone below him from doing the same – eliminating the person above them and taking their place.

Hearing Victor's willingness to cooperate and knowing he had taken the bait, Wei Xiuming smiled and said, "This technology is my life's work and cannot be handed over to others. Only the final product can be sold—but I can accept custom orders. You can choose which plants or animals to filter and optimize, for example, bats that are more in line with the Blood Clan's aesthetics."

"Then, what exactly do you want!" The tool, Bill, turned the tablet to face Wei Xiuming, allowing Victor to have a face-to-face conversation.

The internal conflicts within the Blood Clan had reached a terrifying level over decades, even centuries. However, the disparity in individual strength had suppressed dissenting voices against the Thirteen Pureblood Elders. But with the dawn of the new century, all of that began to change. The world's development had become increasingly difficult to comprehend.

Not to mention the Xenomorphs that arrived with the meteorites, humanity's steadily advancing technology was gradually challenging the vampires' power. Those who craved longevity no longer pledged loyalty to the Blood Clan, but instead developed technology. The various products that followed made the vampires' situation even more precarious.

Great times produce great heroes. Under a millennium-defining transformation, the ossified order within the Blood Clan began to shake. Everyone wanted to challenge authority. Victor, the most likely to seize power, was the most impatient; otherwise, he wouldn't have been drawn out by Wei Xiuming's news.

Wei Xiuming replied without hesitation, "Money, a lot of money. I believe Mr. Victor can see that I belong to a well-established large organization. Otherwise, it would be impossible for an individual to complete tasks related to military strength, infrastructure, and research and development."

"Some things, once an order is formed, become sluggish. There are always foolish people who can't keep up and obstruct progress. Mr. Victor, you should understand this deeply. I am a researcher, not a top executive within the organization. Those who have lived since World War II still hold power and raise objections to my research."

"Even though they maintain their youth through my products, they have become rotten internally, becoming complacent and unmotivated, spending their days immersed in internal power struggles rather than external expansion and progress. After being gradually suppressed, the organization's leader told me to go solo, taking some personnel and research results to establish a branch. In the initial stages of the organization's founding, we need major clients for financial investment—and you, Mr. Victor, are my best choice."
