Abyss Sequence-Chapter 365 - 22: Research on Engraving
Yan Luo trained with Wang Lingyu in the Gass Forest, while also hunting demons and modifying his own cells.
His modification of his cells started with the internal organs, to be precise, from the hematopoietic organ ’bone marrow’.
Yan Luo used his mind to guide the magic power to modify himself, waiting for the bone marrow to be completed. The newly produced cells would also be modified, which could accelerate the modification process.
As the newly generated cells flowed in the blood, Yan Luo’s body magnetic field strengthened by a few degrees.
When the magnetized blood flows in the body, it will rub with other cells, thus producing a more powerful magnetic field.
The next step was for Yan Luo to start modifying his own blood vessels.
This was a massive project. By the time he had modified all his blood vessels, his magnetic power might be elevated to thirty thousand, or even forty thousand horsepower. 𝓯𝙧𝙚𝒆𝙬𝙚𝒃𝙣𝙤𝒗𝓮𝓵.𝙘𝙤𝙢
So, Wang Lingyu could see that for days, Yan Luo’s mouth hadn’t stopped; he kept eating something.
However, Yan Luo was no longer eating ordinary food; whatever entered his mouth was more or less imbued with magic power, allowing him to become stronger.
"What are you thinking? You seem a bit distracted."
Looking at Yan Luo ahead, he suddenly saw a hand extending from the side, waving in front of his eyes.
Wang Lingyu looked at Yan Luo, puzzled, and asked, "Is it because you’re bored?"
Yan Luo shook his head, "Not bored; I’m used to this kind of life. I was just thinking about the strength of the Watcher Sect leader among the Abyssal Believers, that Saint."
That person had the physique of a Saint decades before him. He became so strong within a little more than a year, so he could hardly imagine how powerful the leader of the Watcher Sect could be.
Could it be that person’s strength has already surpassed the sequence classification, reaching above the sequence level?
When dealing with the Abyssal Believers, that person would also be their enemy, so Yan Luo must prepare in advance.
"Maybe he’s different from you?" Wang Lingyu advised, "Not all Saints are like you, thinking that consuming demons is the only way to get stronger. As far as I know, Saints don’t value ’Magic Power Adaptability’, do they? Before last year, there was no materialization in the Blue Star Abyss, so that person shouldn’t have feasted on demon flesh, meaning his strength might not progress as fast as yours does?"
Wang Lingyu made a valid point.
Yan Luo thought carefully and found that what she said could indeed be possible.
At that time, Yan Luo was desperate; the only way to perish together with the Silent Lizard was to dive into it, but not all Saints had similar experiences.
The leader of the Watcher Sect may not know that Saints consuming demon flesh could accelerate their upgrade, even if that person ate demon flesh, without extremely low magic power adaptability, his growth rate might not be that fast.
But in the end, he has been a Saint for decades, so he couldn’t be weak.
If that person had magic power adaptability, he could potentially strengthen just by breathing, without the need to train like Yan Luo.
If he put in a little more effort, maybe his strength would have already reached the level above the sequence.
Such an entity could be called a ’Saint’ in Alfheim as well; if the Watcher Sect leader truly has such strength, Yan Luo wouldn’t know how to fight him.
At that level, even nuclear bombs wouldn’t be feared, right?
Yan Luo preferred to think that the Watcher Sect leader didn’t have strength above the sequence; otherwise, he would have intervened in Blue Star’s society in person long ago rather than letting his subordinates interfere with the Abyss strategy battles.
Thinking of this, Yan Luo felt a little relieved and focused his attention back on demon hunting.
The other matters would be planned after returning to Blue Star.
......
From the next day on, the Great Library administrator accompanying Sasa was replaced by another elf, and as for No.2, Sasa did not ask where they went.
Sasa spent a few days immersing herself in the Great Library, recording the books that needed to be documented, and when returning to Blue Star, she would organize all those video materials, translating them into words comprehensible by humans and handing them over to other scholars for research.
In a sense, Sasa’s behavior amounted to ’theft’, causing some unease in her heart.
After returning to Blue Star, Sasa planned to discuss with Wu Zechuan, Yan Luo, and others whether they should compensate the elves.
After finishing recording the necessary books, Sasa had no intention of wasting more time in the Great Library and used the Teleportation Array to return to Gass City with Yulia.
Upon returning to Gass City, Sasa found that Yan Luo and Wang Lingyu were not there and realized they might have gone hunting demons.
With Yan Luo’s current strength, protecting Wang Lingyu and taking her sightseeing in the Gass Forest was not a difficult task.
Quickly, Sasa put aside matters concerning the two and started researching with Yulia on how to fully integrate the engraving power into Yulia’s body.
Such a matter must begin with the engraving itself; however, Yulia had a ’know-how but not know-why’ attitude toward engravings, knowing how to wield engraving power but having no research on engravings.
Sasa’s university major was not engraving-related either, so the two of them initially felt at a loss in their research.
At this time, Helena returned with the caravan from their expedition.
They could return so quickly because the reputation of the human caravan had already spread, and some Elf Cities wanted to purchase human goods but were worried that the human caravan wouldn’t reach them, so they studied the caravan’s trade routes and sent people to stay in the cities along the route, waiting for the human caravan to pass by.
The caravan exchanged many valuable materials from the elves, including a piece of source metal.
Since they had sold out all the goods in the trucks, the caravan returned.
When Helena returned, she discovered Sasa and Yulia were researching something, went over to listen, and realized they were investigating matters related to engravings.
"Isn’t this my specialty?" Helena exclaimed in surprise.
Sasa looked at Helena with considerable surprise, "Your specialty?"
Helena nodded, saying, "My college major was in engraving studies."
Sasa had never known this before.
From Helena’s words, she learned that Helena was also a genius who entered Lingquan University at fifteen to study engraving, aiming to create more meaningful engravings to help Hunters fight against demons.
However, those in the know understand that most engravings are ancient legacies, with modern inventions being rare.
Upon discovering that engraving studies only taught students how to build more handy engraving devices, Helena graduated and returned to Crimson No.2 to become a Hunter.
Then, she was injured while protecting her teammates during abyss hunting, becoming who she is today.
Her nymphomania was actually a form of cyber psychosis, the cause being her prosthetic body modification in the lower half.
Before that, Helena had, in fact, been a literary girl.
Sasa was learning about this for the first time!
The Red Rose Warband was full of talents; besides Helena, there was another Hunter who graduated in engraving studies, who was Helena’s junior, and he joined the Hunters to make money.
Helena called her junior over to discuss research related to engraving with Sasa and Yulia.
Upon hearing that Yulia was attempting to fully integrate engraving power into her body, Helena and her junior were taken aback.
What they learned before told them this was not possible, but hearing from Sasa that ancient engravers supposedly became powerful Sequence One entities through such means, Helena and her junior were immersed in thought.
"Theoretically, it’s impossible to achieve because what’s materializing the engravings are nanomachines. Unless the body can absorb nanomachines, truly fusing the engravings is unattainable," said the junior.
Since it’s ’theoretically impossible,’ then what about practically?
"This brings us back to the wondrous thing called ’engraving’."
The junior smiled with a hint of excitement and said, "Engravings directly written on paper won’t have any effect, so engraving devices can only be created through [Mechanics]. Why does this happen? The key is the inability of magic power to coalesce!"
