Chapter 169: Descendants or Mutants? (1/2)

Sam was intrigued. The people in front of him are clearly humans, at least they look like that but their inability to cultivate the techniques, spells and battle skills is something very similar to beasts.

The spells and battle techniques are used by circulating the spiritual energy through a particular set of meridians in a pattern exclusive to that technique.

Humans after unlock these meridians in the initiation stage and after that with the help of cultivation techniques they use, they would be circulating the spiritual energy in particular pattern for further breakthroughs.

But the beasts are different.

For beasts, there would be a particular set of meridian patterns already activated based on their genes which are decided by their birth and bloodline.

The genetic memory itself is responsible for their easier cultivation, breakthroughs, their skills of attacking, defence, movement etc.

They are just like the fish having the innate ability to swim without teaching it specifically.

The beasts cannot cultivate the human techniques, in fact many of the human cultivation techniques are made based on the meridian patterns of beasts and so are the battle techniques.

But Sam never heard or read about these symptoms being in human beings. He pondered for a second and asked.

”You said that you are Fire-Wind Dragon Hawk tribe. May I know how you got that name?”

Sam felt that there might be something on with this name. Judging from the fact that these people are only of wind and fire elements and the tribe name is also of a beast, he felt that there is some catch here.

”Our tribe worships the fire dragon hawk and wind dragon hawk. These two beasts are said to be the totems of our race.

There is a story that these two beasts who loved each other and descended in the place where our tribe currently is and lived there until they died with time. We believe that these two totems are the ones that protect us from the forest and let us live along with the other beasts in harmony.”

Marian said in a low voice.

Sam felt that these guys' condition might be related to these totems.

He extended his hand as he gestured the other party to extend their hands too.

After Sam held Marian's hand, he closed his eyes and spread his spiritual energy as he used his observed ability to look at his blood.

As Sam closely observed the blood, he felt that there is a stark difference between his and a normal fire mage's blood.

It has too much fire energy, and the fire energy is also quite intense and ferocious as if it was wild fire caused by burning hundreds of acres of forest.

Even though, it is not as intense as his golden sun crow fire, it is still too far ahead compared to a normal fire mage. Of course, there might be some exceptions.

But these guys are definitely not, because, Sam found another interesting thing and that is the meridians of the person.

Many meridians of this person seemed to be in a highly dormant state as if they have never been activated at all.

Sam retracted his hand and then held Amir's hand, the situation is almost same, except that the dormant meridians are different.

The situation is quite similar to a beast.

Sam's curiosity was piqued. He has stumbled on the most interesting thing and he has studied the cultivation and meridian patterns of various cultivation techniques and also the battle techniques with are mostly cultivation specific.

It may sound crude and all, but these guys are bound to be the best test subjects.

Of course, he cannot say that out loud.

”I have an inkling of your condition, if you guys don't mind, can I have a sample of your blood?”

Sam asked the two people.

They exchanged a glance and complied. Sam collected the blood in small glass tubes and said.
