Chapter 636: You Need Strong Kidneys!
Huff!
Blazing heat surged from Matthew's mouth and nose.
Like scalding lava just released from a volcano, it flowed and surged through his veins.
The long-dormant bloodline power was stimulated by soul power and began to boil within Matthew's gradually adapting body.
Matthew's body temperature soared rapidly, his skin turned red, blood vessels bulged, and his muscles trembled slightly.
Noticing this, Yaya looked at the rapidly consumed nutrient fluid with a hint of shock in her eyes.
Every time she broke through in her sleep and consumed nutrient fluid and energy, it was never this fast.
It felt to her as if there was an even more colossal true dragon inside Matthew's body, greedily devouring all nutrients and growing vigorously.
Fortunately, Matthew had anticipated various unexpected situations and had made ample preparations in advance.
Based on the data detected from Matthew, Yaya quickly initiated emergency responses:
"Inject 500 grams of Water of Life..."
"Inject 3 kilograms of Life Essence..."
"Continuous infusion of high-energy nutrient fluid..."
"Activate the cooling system..."
Bright white frost fell continuously on Matthew's body.
The rising temperature temporarily slowed.
The life-rich nutrient fluid was continuously absorbed by Matthew, used to repair internal damage.
Under the flushing and transformation of his bloodline power, Matthew's physical strength began to rise.
Matthew recorded all the changes in his body, feeling the seemingly violent and rough bloodline power explode while faintly sensing the subtle permeation beneath.
The power spreading out was adjusting and transforming according to Matthew's current condition.
Such an "intelligent" activation of bloodline power felt very familiar to Matthew.
It was the same True Dragon bloodline that had gradually transformed Yaya into a True Dragon through continuous evolution!
However, the True Dragon bloodline was more formulaic and domineering.
It would greatly enhance Yaya's body and strength, "correct" her physical parts, and push her toward True Dragon evolution.
Unless extremely unique abilities or skills, most would be assimilated by the bloodline, losing their uniqueness and freedom.
There's no denying True Dragons are incredibly powerful; becoming one with immense lifespan and strength is a dream for many life forms.
But under Matthew's influence and guidance—
Yaya had worked hard to learn and strengthen her abilities through multiple perfect evolutions.
She succeeded in converting and absorbing her internal bloodline power into her own strength.
Bay Territory's creed is to be the master of power, not its slave!
Matthew sensed that the bloodline power within him had a more "humane" peculiarity.
It seemed to understand his development needs and goals, adjusting and adapting proactively with targeted enhancements and practical modifications.
A significant portion of that surging bloodline power flooded into Matthew's pineal gland, nourishing and strengthening his soul in a very unique way.
Of course, the effects of this seemingly natural enhancement were identical to those produced by his surgeries.
After significantly improving the toughness of his soul with some special energy and substances—
The remaining strengthening involved constant imaging, flushing, and repairing to achieve enhancement.
However, Matthew faintly felt that the bloodline power had also integrated part of its unique properties and substances into his soul.
Before he could study and understand it, they vanished without a trace.
The manifested result was that the spell patterns and models on Matthew's body became more vivid and complex.
It was as if he could comprehend, cast, and control these spells from a deeper level.
Even though the transformation wasn't complete yet, Matthew could already conclude he had gained at least one Extraordinary-level casting feat...
An unspeakable wave of pain surged in like a tide.
Matthew instantly realized this was a great chance to temper his will, and he "enjoyed" it willingly.
The ongoing screams made Yaya shrink her neck, eyes filled with fear and worry.
"We're doomed. With such powerful fluctuations in magical aura, his casting talent will definitely rise again."
Thinking about the countless tests and papers, Yaya felt dizzy and bit her silver teeth tightly.
Such a "considerate" and "intelligent" bloodline power made Matthew feel oddly unreal.
It was as if another conscious being was living inside his body.
However, Matthew didn't feel "afraid" because of this—he was extremely delighted and intrigued.
Such a unique and powerful bloodline force, while dangerous, definitely harbored extremely high-level secrets and powers.
After who knows how long, the soul modification from the bloodline power stabilized, and the wave of pain gradually subsided.
Matthew took a deep breath and exhaled scorching air, which caused the magic circle to fluctuate.
He quickly shut his mouth and focused on inspecting and controlling his body, discovering the bloodline power's transformation wasn't yet over.
After finishing the soul's transformation, it began strengthening the physical body.
With his thinking ability restored, Matthew calculated that he should enhance his pain tolerance while observing which parts of the body were being enhanced.
"Kidneys..."
Matthew could clearly "see" that other organs didn't undergo any significant functional changes when being enhanced.
Only the kidneys showed obvious "transformation."
They became sturdier and tougher, speeding up energy absorption, distribution, and storage.
What caught Matthew's attention most was their "storage" mechanism.
Surging life energy would flow through the blood vessels connected to the kidneys, transmitting to various tissues and parts.
During this process, other tissues and organs would passively absorb and be strengthened by the life energy.
What thrilled Matthew was—
As the kidneys strengthened, organs throughout his body were also enhancing.
This overall reaction gave Matthew an extraordinary inspiration.
The upper limit of life energy storage was related to these absorption and digestion tissues and organs...
The detailed plan for the 7th transformation surgery became clearer in Matthew's mind.
At that moment, a crisp, pleasant prompt suddenly rang in Matthew's ears:
"Ding, would you like to spend 30 million Fate Power to achieve perfect evolution?"
Glancing at his 80 million Fate Power reserve pool and considering his territory's current 10 million monthly gain, Matthew decisively agreed.
To lead a powerful territory to continued growth, he as the Lord couldn't be a weak link!
Besides, Matthew was also curious—
Which was stronger—the "Perfect Evolution" powered by Fate Power, or the ever-hidden Candle Dragon bloodline?
No matter what kind of clash occurred between the two, it would provide Matthew with more information.
Azure blue Fate Power surged endlessly, enveloping Matthew entirely.
His previously quiet nutrient absorption became intense again.
Yaya poured in the Water of Life, worth hundreds of gold coins per gram, without stopping.
High-quality nutrient fluid was continuously released like an open floodgate.
Watching Matthew's enormous "appetite," she couldn't help but laugh aloud.
"I really don't eat that much!"
Materials worth two million gold coins lasted only two minutes.
After half an hour and consuming at least 40 million gold coins' worth of nutrient supplies, Matthew finally opened his eyes under Yaya's nervous gaze.
The high-energy nutrient reserves of the entire underground Mage Tower were almost "eaten up" by Matthew.
Colorful magical light and shadows flickered endlessly in front of Matthew.
They were known by many names.
The Heaven and Earth Energy of Eastern cultivators.
The various elements spoken of by mages.
Mana nodes in the eyes of Arcanists.
Holy Light comprehended by the clergy.
Life force absorbed and transformed by other Professionals.
Now, Matthew could clearly "see" their existence and even manipulate them fairly easily, arranging them as he wished.
Matthew immediately thought of—
His current situation resembled that of Arcanists when their path had just emerged.
Those wild, unrestrained, and terrifyingly dangerous spells of Arcanists.
Back then, Arcanists must have believed they had grasped the essence of power and could cast spells at will.
As a result, violent energy in chaotic arrangements claimed the lives of many "arrogant" Arcanists.
It had to be Grand Arcanist Ioram who stepped in!
He standardized and restricted the original Arcanist system using the former mage casting framework and spell models.
Thus guiding Arcanists onto a safer and gradual path.
However, the Cole Elves meddled with it.
Now, Matthew no longer needed to rely on luck-based, gamble-like spellcasting like the original Arcanists—he could see the essence with ease.
For the next few days, Matthew focused on "recuperation."
The evolution and leap of the body is a complex and delicate process.
Some Professionals or life forms are extremely fragile during such transitions, often leading to failed evolutions.
Fortunately, Matthew had a powerful army to protect him.
He also had enough resources to support the entire evolution process.
A well-hidden and heavily defended underground Mage Tower to conceal his whereabouts.
Thus, Matthew smoothly passed this critical threshold.
When the attribute panel reappeared, Matthew couldn't help but flash a brilliant smile:
"As expected, every gold coin invested by Bay Territory is never wasted."
