Chapter 23 (2/2)

Of course, Wang Yuan had also heard that the [Respiratory Art] had other uses and powers, but he only managed to find out that much. Today was the first time he actually saw someone perform this [Respiratory Art], this low-magic world truly was ‘low’.

Currently, Wang Yuan had only discovered three types of supernatural power. The first belonged to the Church of Divine Grace, where they claimed that by basking in the grace of God, they obtained various powers that normal people didn’t possess. Wang Yuan had also witnessed a bishop from the Church of Divine Grace who came into Reya and confirmed that they do indeed have a bit of supernatural power. The second kind were remnant souls, or as these people called it, Evil Spirits. The third was the [Respiratory Art] that Chris had just performed.

Naturally, among the records that Wang Yuan had collected over the years, quite a few other kinds of supernatural powers were also mentioned. For example, the Cauchy people’s shamans who claimed to have unlocked the ‘spirit’ meaning of the word ‘Cauchy’, they could supposedly connect with all things and utter the names of Gods to borrow their power, Wang Yuan’s ‘Righteous’ Noah was able to utilize a bit of this power.

Next was the Royas Kingdom. This country was said to hold a supernatural power called the Ancestral Spirit Armor. According to the records, a holder of this power could go against 100 people by themselves on the battlefield, but Wang Yuan had never seen it before.

In addition to this was the most widespread supernatural power, the ‘Witch’.

From the records that Wang Yuan collected, Witches were able to use various materials to perform their spells, some of which were nothing more than magic tricks that simply used chemical reactions, like creating fire or smoke.

However, there were some actual signs of supernatural power, Wang Yuan once saw a Witch performing their spell in the memories of a mercenary. That Witch poured some kind of liquid out of a flask and turned a real living person into a frog.

There were still many supernatural power records in this world, but a large majority of them were only presumed to have existed, while the others had already been lost in this world, perhaps their heritage was cut-off at some point.

“I need to get this [Respiratory Art] into my hands” Wang Yuan had such a thought. [Respiratory Art] was the art of perceiving and using rhythm, it had very little relation to True Spirit and origin. Even if Wang Yuan couldn’t use [Respiratory Art], it didn’t hurt for him to obtain the knowledge as a part of his foundation for the future.

“I also need to speed up my research on Nala” this was Wang Yuan’s main research topic for the last few years.

Nala’s mother came from the ‘Children of Dragon’ Tagula family, a family said to be able to awaken the bloodline of the dragon. Perhaps it was due to Wang Yuan’s germs, or perhaps a reaction to the mixed bloodline of the Cauchy and the Tagula family, but the Dragon Bloodline that had laid dormant in the Tagula family for several generations had now begun to awaken within this little girl.

And the Dragon Bloodline had half-fused with Wang Yuan’s germs from when she was still inside Isabella’s womb, making it so that Wang Yuan had no way to control them.

But it was also because of this reason that Wang Yuan was able to study the Dragon Bloodline inside Nala’s body through the germs.

Through his research of the Dragon Bloodline these past few years, Wang Yuan had obtained quite a bit of results. For example, the [Diffuse] germs that now existed all over Reystromia was the result of Wang Yuan purposefully controlling the germs’ mutation, in an attempt to artificially create the strain of germs inside Nala’s body.

Even so, the [Diffuse] germs was nothing but a pleasant byproduct of his experimentation, he was still far from achieving the ideal germs in his mind. And Nala’s body that contained the Dragon Bloodline that had half-fused with his germs was the perfect petri dish.

…

“Mama, today I sold quite a bit of fabric again, aren’t I great?” the little Nala looked up at Isabella seeking praise, a faint golden gleam briefly appeared in her eyes before vanishing without a trace.
