Chapter 103 Corinna's Special Talent and "Medicine Body Resonance"

Chapter 103 Corinna's Special Talent and "Medicine Body Resonance"

After leaving the workshop, Ron went straight to the school library.

The "bloodline modulator" mentioned by the slave trader yesterday aroused his great interest. Now that he had an assistant in the workshop, he finally had time to conduct more in-depth research.

This may be the key to solving the dilemma of bloodline activation potion.

On the way, he ran into Leah by chance.

The instructor of mental stabilization techniques seemed to have just walked out of the teaching area, with a trace of fatigue on his face. He was slightly surprised to see Ron.

"What a coincidence, Apprentice Ron." She greeted him. "Just so we know, Eric and I have arranged a special test for you this week. I hope you can prepare well."

"Thank you for your arrangement, Lady Leah." Ron replied politely. He glanced at his skill bar:

[Current Progress: Spell Construction (Entry 48/50)]

[Current progress: Mental interference (beginner 45/50)]

You should be able to reach proficiency in time for the weekly tests, so you don't have to worry about passing them:
"I've been practicing hard and I hope I won't let you down."

"Your performance has been outstanding," Leah nodded slightly. "Also, I've noticed that in recent classes, your insights haven't resonated much with the other apprentices. I need to remind you that true teaching isn't simply about displaying knowledge; it's about igniting the fire of inspiration in others."

Ron's heart trembled, and he thought about these words seriously.

He did try hard to share his cultivation experience in class, hoping to gain more "favors", but with little success.

It seems that obtaining "favor" is much more difficult than he imagined. It requires inspiring and guiding others so that they can really gain something, rather than simply imparting knowledge.

"I'll keep your advice in mind," Ron said sincerely. "I'll try to better understand the needs of other apprentices, rather than just show off what I've learned."

After saying goodbye to Leah, he suddenly recalled a casual chat he had with Mira during his last class.

When the skinny female apprentice was exchanging information with him, she mentioned Carl and the short and fat apprentice whom Ron met last time when he signed up for the course.

After they accepted a commission from the edge of the forest, there has been no news for several days, and now it seems that they are in great danger.

"Struggling to survive or dying in silence... it seems the weak only have these two choices here."

Ron felt a sense of urgency in his heart: "If I don't keep getting stronger, one day I will end up in this situation."

He quickened his pace unconsciously.

………………

The library still looks plain and simple, but it contains countless books.

The old grey-robed guard was still guarding the door. It was said that the guards here were on duty once a month. When he saw Ron, he nodded slightly and made way.

"What information do you want to check today?" asked the old guard. His tone was a little friendlier than last time, but he still maintained a certain degree of vigilance.

"Knowledge about blood modulation and the living habits of the tree spirits."

Ron answered frankly, without hiding anything.

In this place, the pursuit of knowledge itself is not a suspicious behavior, as long as it does not involve taboo areas.

The guard raised an eyebrow, his beard trembling slightly, and a hint of surprise flashed in his eyes, but he said nothing, just pointed in the direction of the guide stone:
"Start from the third grid of the Guiding Stone. It will lead you to relevant information. Remember, some knowledge on blood modulation may be restricted."

Ron nodded in thanks and walked towards the dark brown crystal column in the center of the library.

He gently placed his palm on it, silently reciting the key words in his mind: "blood regulation".

The runes on the surface of the crystal pillar lit up blue, and then a path of light unfolded in the air, guiding him to a specific area.

Ron followed the light and came to an area covered by a light blue light curtain.

"Please verify your identity." A line of words appeared on the screen.

Ron placed the Potions Master's Badge on the light curtain. After a moment, the light curtain flickered a few times and then partially dissipated, revealing a gap large enough for one person to pass through.

It seems that this is an area that requires special permissions to be fully open.

Passing through the light curtain, Ron discovered that the bookshelves here were older than those in other areas, and they were filled with various beautifully bound but very old books.

Many books are even fixed to the bookshelves with chains made of special materials, preventing readers from taking them away and reading them.

In front of a bookshelf, Ron found several introductory books on blood modulation.

Unfortunately, the more in-depth knowledge was classified as a higher level of restriction and was inaccessible to him with his current permissions.

"Basics of Bloodline Modulation," "Introduction to the Bloodlines of Extraordinary Creatures," "Research on Cross-Species Bloodline Transplantation"...

Ron took down a few books that looked the most valuable, found a table nearby, sat down, and began to read seriously.

The content of "Basics of Blood Modulation" was refreshing to him:
"Bloodline modulation, as an ancient and mysterious art, lies at its core in the understanding and manipulation of the essence of life. Unlike simple genetic modification, bloodline modulation involves modifying the deepest energy imprints of life, which determine the basic characteristics and abilities of living things..."

"...The earliest bloodline modulation can even be traced back to the end of the Age of Gods in the First Era. It is said to have been created by a siren wizard named Isa Pearl Tear."

"She attempted to purify the blood of the ancient river god within her body, ultimately successfully separating the pure life energy and storing it in a specially crafted container..."

Ron was so absorbed in the content that he almost forgot the passage of time.

Blood modulation was more complicated than he had imagined, but also more systematic.

In particular, the extraction and preservation methods of "blood factors" gave him great inspiration.

"I see... It's not a simple blending and fusion, but rather requires first breaking down the different bloodlines into their most basic 'bloodline factors', and then recombining them according to specific proportions..."

[New Skill Included: Extraordinary Biology (Beginner)]

Ron quickly wrote down the key information in his notebook, his eyes gleaming with excitement.

Just as he was concentrating on studying, a suffocatingly powerful magical wave suddenly enveloped him.

Ron suddenly looked up and saw a figure in a white robe standing by a nearby bookshelf, observing him with great interest. The figure wore an exquisite white mask, revealing only a pair of dark blue eyes.

Her snow-like silver hair fell from both sides of her mask, and her snow-white robe vaguely outlined her graceful figure, yet it made people dare not have any romantic thoughts.

The whole person looked like a ghost walking out from the depths of the snowfield, with a cold and indifferent temperament that was otherworldly.

That was Corinna, Tracy's mentor and the white-robed wizard who brought him from the kingdom to the Black Mist Jungle.

Seeing his former guide, Ron felt a chill running down his spine and throughout his body.

He put the book back and instinctively took a half step back, then realized that this behavior might cause dissatisfaction.

Suppressing his instinctive fear, Ron bowed respectfully, hoping not to attract her attention, and then quietly left her sight.

However, the next moment, Corinna's voice suddenly rang out:

"Apprentice, raise your head."

The sound was hoarse and unpleasant, like metallic friction, as if the vocal cords had been permanently damaged.

Ron slowly raised his face to face the cold white mask, trying his best to keep his facial expression calm.

"Oh... now I remember, you're Ron Ralph, right?"

Corinna's voice seemed to come from multiple directions simultaneously: "I have some impression of you. I think you were brought back to the academy with Tracy."

"Yes, sir," Ron could only reply respectfully.

Corinna approached silently, her white robe fluttering behind her as if it had life.

"Interesting. That defective sixth-class potion master has now become a professional potion master and... a mid-level apprentice so quickly."

There was a hint of surprise in her voice:

"I still remember your almost non-existent mental fluctuations during the tests in Farouk Kingdom. I thought you would be the first of the 'seeds' to be eliminated."

He was discovered... The magical fluctuations from the other party just now clearly indicated that he had broken through to the intermediate apprentice level.

Ron stood frozen, unsure how to respond.

The radiation field from the other person stung his skin, and every second felt like a century to him.

"Don't be so nervous, kid."

Corinna seemed to sense his fear, and her tone softened slightly:

"When I told you that if you didn't pass the assessment period, I'd use you as a test subject to dissect your brain, that was just a scare tactic. Your brain structure at that time was simply too ordinary, and of no value to my research."

Ron just breathed a sigh of relief, but a chuckle came out from under the mask:

"However, now that I see how quickly you've made breakthroughs, I'm starting to become interested in the structure of your brain."

He suddenly felt a chill running from the top of his head to the soles of his feet, and his mind was rapidly thinking of a response strategy.

Should I continue to act normal, admit that I am indeed special, or just run away?

"Relax, it's just a joke. Tracy always says I have an off-kilter sense of humor."

Seeing Ron becoming more nervous, the silver-haired witch chuckled again:
"Mrs. Allen also helped me before, how could I possibly do anything to you?"

Ron remained silent, unsure what to say without causing more trouble.

"You don't seem to have any idea of ​​your special gift, do you?"

Corinna suddenly asked, her eyes behind the mask looking straight at Ron, as if trying to see into his soul.

"Special talent?"

Ron repeated doubtfully that he certainly had special talents, but he wasn't sure if it was the same concept Corinna was referring to.

"Interesting. Your growth trajectory is so unusual. At first, I thought someone was guiding you from behind. But now it seems that you really don't know what you have."

Corinna nodded, as if confirming something.

She turned around and pointed to an area deep in the library:
"You should go check it out. There's a book called 'Special Talents Collection' there. Maybe it can help you understand why you're different."

As she spoke, a ray of light shot out from her fingertips and landed on a light curtain not far away.

After the light curtain flickered slightly, it seemed to become more transparent.

"I've opened access for you. Knowing yourself is the most important lesson for every apprentice on their path to growth."

There was an elusive tone in Corinna's voice: "I look forward to your growth, young potion master."

After saying that, she disappeared between the bookshelves like a ghost in the snow, leaving Ron standing there alone, his heart full of confusion and anxiety.

He hesitated for a moment, and finally decided to follow Corinna's instructions and check the "Special Talent Collection".

Now that I have caught her attention, there is no point in avoiding her. I might as well take the initiative to learn more information.

Passing through the light curtain, in a central position, there is a particularly eye-catching large tome. The cover is made of some kind of glittering strange metal, and it is engraved with complex runes.

"A Brief Record of Special Talents..." Ron silently recited the title of the book, his heart beating faster involuntarily.

He carefully opened the thick book, and an old and mysterious atmosphere came to his face, as if he had traveled through thousands of years.

The first page is a brief preface:

"Special talents are the most precious gifts on the path to transcendence. They are not dependent on bloodlines, are not limited to ethnic groups, and are not even constrained by the Akashic Records. They are purely the accidental turning of the wheel of fate, a miracle manifesting among countless possibilities..."

"...Special talents are innate and cannot be taken away by anyone. They are bound to the deepest part of the soul. Even if the soul leaves the body or is possessed by another body, the talent still belongs only to its original owner..."
