Chapter 73: A 1% Mutation!

<Ding!>

[Congratulations, Host!]

[You have obtained the following:]

[Bloodline Essence: D-Grade Top Tier, Eight Eyes × 1]

[Skill Stone: Profound Rank Low Grade, Spider Silk Swing × 1]

[Previously Consumed Heavenly Materials and Earthly Treasures: First-Order Spiritual Mulberry Leaf × 10]

[Eight Eyes: Enhancement-Type, D-Grade Top-Tier Bloodline. Possessing this Bloodline grants a passive ability that significantly increases physical agility and reaction speed.]

[Its active ability allows six small illusory eyes to manifest beside the two main eyes, granting extraordinary dynamic vision and exceptional combat awareness.]

[Spider Silk Swing: Profound Rank Low-Grade Secret Art. It consumes very little energy and is suitable for Bloodline Fighters possessing silk-like abilities.]

[It allows the user to shoot a strand of Spider Silk from their palm and attach it to various elevated objects in the surroundings, allowing them to swing and glide through the air with remarkable agility.]

[Spider Silk Swing can be instant-cast. The Spider Silk does not need to wrap around an obstacle. The moment it touches a target, its end immediately expands into a palm-sized Spider Web, greatly increasing its adhesion.]

[This significantly strengthens its gripping force, allowing it to attach even to smooth, flat surfaces.]

[Spiritual Mulberry Leaf: First-Order Spiritual Item, produced by the Spiritual Mulberry Tree. Its leaves are emerald green like jade and shimmer with a faint green light.]

[They contain rich Heaven and Earth Origin Energy and are relatively rare spiritual leaves used as food. Most Zerg have an innate fondness for them.]

[They can gradually improve the strength and cultivation realm of nurtured Zerg while comprehensively enhancing their physical capabilities.]

"To think it created so many things. Excellent!"

Ryan’s face lit up with pleasant surprise.

He hadn’t expected three different items to be produced at once, and every one of them was valuable.

POOF!

At that moment, the Boundless Creation Furnace spewed the three items into the air of the cave, causing brilliant lights to flash.

SWISH!

Ryan was quick to react.

With a flick of his right hand, he immediately caught all three treasures floating in the air.

He first placed the Eight Eyes Bloodline Essence into a jade bottle before tossing it into his spatial ring.

Then, he placed all ten Spiritual Mulberry Leaves into the beast pouch hanging from his waist.

The three Ghost Bees immediately began devouring them.

"I never knew what to feed the Ghost Bees, but it seems they really like these Spiritual Mulberry Leaves."

Seeing the three Ghost Bees happily eating, Ryan smiled contentedly.

He then injected a wisp of Origin Energy into the Skill Stone in his hand.

HISS!

A flash of white light suddenly passed through the Skill Stone.

Immediately afterward, a massive amount of information surged into Ryan’s mind.

In an instant, he completely mastered the new secret art.

Profound Rank Low-Grade Secret Art, Spider Silk Swing.

Although Spider Silk Swing wasn’t particularly high-ranked, Ryan was extremely satisfied with it.

Previously, he could also use Spider Silk to wrap around elevated objects and swing himself through the air.

However, he couldn’t cast it instantly, and its effectiveness was highly dependent on the surrounding environment.

If he needed time to cast the technique during combat, his movements would become slower and less fluid.

That slight delay could easily expose an opening and give an enemy an opportunity to interrupt him.

Moreover, if he encountered a smooth, flat surface such as a wall, ordinary Spider Silk had nothing to wrap around, making it difficult to use as leverage.

The Profound Rank Low-Grade Spider Silk Swing perfectly solved these problems.

Not only could it be instant-cast, but the Spider Silk it produced had also increased in thickness from roughly the size of his pinky finger to the size of his thumb.

This directly increased its toughness and load-bearing capacity.

More importantly, once the Spider Silk touched an object, its end would immediately expand into a Spider Web.

This allowed it to firmly adhere to a wide variety of surfaces, even smooth and flat ones.

It was practically a divine technique for low-level movement, traversal, and escape.

"Excellent. My Spider Bloodline has now mastered three instant-cast skills. That’s quite an achievement."

Ryan’s mood brightened considerably.

"Next, let’s see what the Iron Armor War Pig can produce."

He took the plump Iron Armor War Pig corpse from his spatial ring and threw it into the Boundless Creation Furnace.

<Ding!>

[Disintegration Target: One First-Order Ordinary Exotic Beast Corpse]

[Disintegration Creation: Simplifying the complex, randomly generating...]

[Output Probability: Bloodline Essence 33%, Skill Stone 33%, Previously Consumed Heavenly Materials and Earthly Treasures 33%, Mutated Unknown Type 1%]

"Please, let it be a Top-Tier Bloodline or a high-grade Skill Stone."

Ryan stared intently at the Boundless Creation Furnace and silently prayed.

The next moment, Mira’s notification sounded.

<Ding!>

[Congratulations, Host!]

[You are extremely lucky! You have triggered the 1% Mutated Unknown Type!]

[You have obtained the following:]

[Bloodline Essence: C-Grade Excellent, Self-Healing Armor × 1]

[Skill Stone: Origin Realm Superior-Grade, Exploding Heavy Elbow × 1]

[Self-Healing Armor: Enhancement-Type, C-Grade Excellent Bloodline. It is stronger than the C-Grade Ordinary Iron Armor Bloodline and is one of its evolutionary paths.]

[Passive Ability: Greatly increases the body’s strength and toughness. When attacked, it automatically activates the Rapid Self-Healing ability.]

[Rapid Self-Healing can significantly increase the body’s recovery speed. Ordinary wounds can be restored almost instantly by consuming Origin Energy.]

[Unless an extremely powerful burst of force is used to inflict severe damage or instant death, or the user’s Origin Energy is completely exhausted, it is difficult to inflict substantial damage on the user.]

[The active ability of this Bloodline allows the user’s entire skin to harden into black steel armor, further increasing physical toughness and resistance to impact. It can also increase movement speed to a certain degree.]

[Exploding Heavy Elbow: Origin Realm Superior-Grade Combat Skill. Suitable for some Enhancement-Type and Lifeform-Type Bloodline Fighters.]

[The elbow is one of the strongest striking weapons of the human body, possessing astonishing destructive power in close combat.]

[Exploding Heavy Elbow: After mastering the technique of force application, the user can concentrate the strength of their entire body at a single point and unleash it through the tip of the elbow. In an instant, it can increase the power of an elbow strike by threefold, producing astonishing explosive force.]

[The technique contains numerous variations and can be adapted to different combat situations, including Heart-Piercing Elbow, Downward-Smashing Elbow, Upward-Lifting Elbow, Horizontal-Chopping Elbow, Reverse Elbow, and more. Each possesses devastating destructive power.]

POOF!

The Boundless Creation Furnace immediately spewed out the newly created treasures.

Strange lights flickered throughout the cave.

"What a pity. It was only a little short of being Top Tier!"

Ryan couldn’t help sighing regretfully as he reached out and caught both treasures.

"But triggering the 1% Mutated Unknown Type is still pretty good."

He examined the treasures in his hands and comforted himself.

"Originally, it should have produced an Iron Armor-type Bloodline, but instead, it gave me a Self-Healing Armor Bloodline Essence."

"Not only did its grade increase by one level, but I also obtained a useful Origin Realm Superior-Grade Combat Skill."

Although he said this, Ryan still felt somewhat regretful.

It had really been just a little short.

It had been quite some time since he had created a C-Grade Top-Tier Bloodline comparable to his Overlord Body Bloodline.

Moreover, the second Boundless Creation Slot still didn’t have a suitable Bloodline to seal.

This left him feeling rather helpless.

It was like possessing a mountain of gold and silver but having no way to spend it.

The Eight Eyes Bloodline and Self-Healing Armor Bloodline were both powerful, but their grades were still somewhat low.

Ryan always felt that something was missing.

He had already experienced the tremendous power of a C-Grade Top-Tier Bloodline like Overlord Body.

His standards had been completely spoiled.

Any Bloodline below that grade now seemed somewhat lacking in his eyes.

However, after thinking about it again, triggering the 1% Mutated Unknown Type was still an excellent outcome.

At the very least, it had transformed the original C-Grade Ordinary Iron Armor Bloodline into the C-Grade Excellent Self-Healing Armor Bloodline.

If he sold it, it should still be worth a considerable number of Origin Stones.

Furthermore, the Iron Armor War Pig’s original low-grade combat skill, Profound Rank Low-Grade Savage Charge, had been transformed into the Origin Realm Superior-Grade Exploding Heavy Elbow.

And that combat skill happened to suit him perfectly.

If anyone else knew what Ryan was thinking, they would probably be so frustrated that they would vomit blood.

This was more than just "good."

It was simply infuriating to see someone have such ridiculous luck.

When ordinary Bloodline Fighters hunted an Exotic Beast, they could generally only obtain a Beast Core from its corpse.

At most, they might extract a strand of Bloodline Essence or collect certain body parts that could be used to forge weapons and secret treasures.

In other words, an ordinary Bloodline Fighter might have to hunt ten or more of the same type of Exotic Beast just to accumulate enough materials to synthesize a single complete Bloodline Essence.

The remaining refining scraps would be worth even less.

Ryan, however, only needed a single Exotic Beast corpse.

With the heaven-defying Boundless Creation Furnace, he could directly produce a complete Bloodline Essence with a significant probability.

There was also a considerable chance of obtaining related Skill Stones.

He could even obtain Previously Consumed Heavenly Materials and Earthly Treasures.

And occasionally, he could trigger a mutation.

Taking all of this into account, Ryan’s efficiency in obtaining treasures was, even by the most conservative estimate, dozens of times greater than that of ordinary Bloodline Fighters.

How could that not be infuriating?

"Sigh. There’s nothing I can do. The second Boundless Creation Slot can only wait a little longer."

Powerful Bloodline Essences were extremely difficult to obtain.

Even after obtaining two Bloodline Essences in succession, Ryan still wasn’t completely satisfied.

He sighed helplessly before placing the Self-Healing Armor Bloodline Essence into a jade bottle and tossing it into his spatial ring.

Next, he injected a wisp of Origin Energy into the remaining Skill Stone.
