"Although there's a somewhat perverted feeling, I didn't expect the blood to be so delicious..." Mu Xiao's face had a faintly intoxicated expression, and then she came back to her senses: "Her own mental state was undergoing a strange change, which wasn't a good phenomenon. Moreover, this bloody fragrance was too addictive, and if things went wrong, it might be the body's genetic bloodline playing tricks."

  The heart that had been drained of blood was gradually withering away, the deep wounds on Mu Xiao's body were healing at a visible rate, his skin regaining its healthy color, and the slightly sunken cheeks were also gradually returning to their rosy hue, his spirit revitalized. His physical hunger had also dissipated somewhat, but his mouth was still filled with bright red blood, giving off an eerie feeling.

  Mù Xiāo's entire body's blood was boiling like scalding hot water, he felt as if he was soaking in a warm spring now, every stream of heat circulating from the inside, every tendon, bone, muscle and nerve getting nourished, feeling so comfortable that he almost moaned.

  "Is this absorption 'evil heterosis' or instinctive evolution, as the body's own strength is growing, hidden injuries are being repaired, and genes are actively optimizing their functions?"

  He savored the comfort brought by his body, and at the same time, he couldn't help but wonder about his physical condition. He thought of some things and felt a sense of doubt in his heart. "As far as I know, the blood of mutant creatures generally has extreme properties. If you swallow it rashly, there's only one outcome - being assimilated by the 'extreme' attribute of the mutant creature and turning into another mutant creature. If you're unlucky, you might even explode and die. But why can I directly swallow the blood without being assimilated by this 'extreme' attribute? Is it really due to the unknown properties of the 'Miracle Blood Formula'?"

  Mutated monsters and zombie hearts have blood beads and blood crystals, which are actually also blood energy. However, this blood energy is safe, and it can be said that the original blood energy of zombies and mutated monsters, even any evolved species, whether failed or semi-finished, has something valuable in their genetic bloodline. The blood beads and blood crystals are just those valuable things, the purest form of blood energy.

  However, the mutated monster's blood energy is only a small part that can be extracted, and most of it contains 'extreme' and 'negative' genes with vicious tendencies.

  Ordinary people absorb it and either go crazy or become mutants, or they die directly.

  If it weren't for that, Mu Xiao felt a strong desire in his blood, and he knew that the blood energy was harmless and even beneficial, so he absolutely wouldn't swallow this 'unprocessed' blood energy.

  But at this time, his physical condition was not something he could understand clearly, and everything had to be attributed to the unknown properties brought by the 'Miracle Blood Formula'.

  ……

  When Mu Xi's body recovered to its peak, the heart that had lost energy and blood was like a dry, shriveled-up skin ball, with only a small amount of newly formed blood beads wrapped inside.

  However, Mu Xiao did not wake up, because the infused blood was still improving and optimizing his body's muscles, bones, skin...

  Mù Xiāo's body needed a process to accept it for the first time when he absorbed the special blood energy, so it was a bit slow.

  The mutant's blood gene merged with Mu Xiao's unknown blood gene, and he felt his physique breaking through its peak...

  His physique was rapidly strengthening...

  His blood was boiling, giving rise to a fountain of life that flowed through every part of his body. The power contained in his muscles was in a state of terrifying ascension. His vital energy was growing stronger and stronger, emitting an aura of vigorous vitality. Even his bones were being strengthened, emitting a faint metallic sound, almost as hard as ordinary metal.

  The physique of Mu Xi is like a butterfly emerging from a cocoon, completely breaking through the old human limits and achieving the top-notch primary physique of the new humanity.

  "The long-awaited new human physique, although only at the top of the first realm, is far from being comparable to an SSS-level physique." Mu Xiao stood up and clenched his fists, feeling that his body had endless strength, as if he could punch out a blast of air with just one fist. Even his mental energy and spiritual power had made significant progress, with a substantial increase in his psychic and mental powers.

  The container is solid, and the powerful energy it contains can naturally unfold its mighty properties.

  The body is a vessel, and the power of intention is the ability to unite source energy and soul. The stronger the body, even if not truly cultivated, just combining thought force and spiritual force can create a thread of intentional power that is full of overbearing might. Now with enhanced physical quality, the power unleashed will not be unbearable for one's own body, thus avoiding collapse.

  "If it were now, against that mutated woman from just earlier, it would definitely not be as embarrassing as before." Mu Xiao quickly became accustomed to the power brought by the evolution of his physique. After all, he was once a highly evolved new human strongman, and his control over bodily functions was completely an instinctual awareness, eliminating the need for getting used to his powers, and directly allowing him to bring out his combat strength in an extraordinary state.

  After breaking through, a series of physical strengthening exercises, all the scars on his body were fully recovered, without leaving any scarring.

  Actually, Mu Xiao had eighteen genetic resonances and his physique reached the top of the first realm, which was considered a rapid progress. He himself understood that if it weren't for the 'Mysterious Consciousness Sea' purifying a primitive source, part of which went into physical strengthening, plus his bizarre ability to absorb and transform mutant blood energy, he wouldn't have been able to break through the physique of the top of the first realm with such a low number of genetic resonances.

  "The genetic bloodline of the mutants, has such a great effect on me." Mu Xiao had an idea and thought to herself: "Should I eliminate this psychological resistance, hunt down more mutants, and turn them into my source of evolution?"

  Humans will stop at nothing to evolve, and some degenerates will even go so far as to devour human flesh.

  However, as Muxiao knew, there were others who could strengthen themselves with blood besides him.

  In the future era of great evolution, there is a super powerful being with an extremely large force - the Bloody Queen!

  She is a blood energy absorber, controller of blood energy, and can even refine blood energy into her own evolution source.

  ……

  "As long as you have your own principles and bottom line, firm in your heart, unaffected by negative emotions, absorbing blood to strengthen yourself, it's not impossible to take. Mu Xiao Xin'an reason, after all, the path of evolution is different for everyone, there's no such thing as a right or wrong way... Only the strong are revered!"

  Muxiao picked up the withered heart of the mutant woman and flipped out ten purple-red precious blood beads from inside.

  "It seems that this mutant hasn't evolved for long, and not even the lowest quality blood crystal has condensed." Mu Xiao examined the precious blood pearl he had obtained for the first time.

  Generally, zombies condense the highest level of blood energy, only 'treasured' blood beads. When a zombie transforms into a variant person, the body's blood is reorganized into blood crystals, but there is also a possibility that a large number of 'treasured' blood beads are formed.

  If a mutant condenses into a primary blood crystal, it is actually a 'low-quality' blood crystal that is very strong. Compared to the mutants who form 'jewel' blood beads, they are much stronger. As the mutant becomes stronger, the quality of the blood crystal will rise to become crimson, scarlet, deep red, and finally, jewel.

  Of course, the zombies that condensed into blood crystals at the beginning, even if they were inferior blood crystals, when they evolved into variant humans, had great potential. At least in terms of blood energy, they were stronger than other variant humans who only had blood beads.

  Blood Crystals and Blood Beads, simply put, are blood energy suppliers. Blood Beads supply at a low frequency, while Blood Crystals supply at a high frequency. The magnitude of the ability's power and physical strength output naturally depend on the strength or weakness of these suppliers.

  However, just like mutants and new humans, they also have different levels of potential.

  ……

  Just as Mu Xiao was about to pick up the broken backpack and put away the blood beads, he discovered that on the corpse of the mutated woman, there was a mass of matter that flickered in and out of sight, changing shape at times.

  "This is the source of mechanical mastery!" Mu Xiao's heart was filled with joy, the first step he had to take to acquire mechanical abilities now appeared, which would save him a lot of trouble.

  He grasped the white mist-like substance with one hand, and a refreshing and invigorating aura burst into his mind, as if a mechanical master was pouring out all the knowledge without reservation. Problems that were originally unclear, incomprehensible, and undiscovered suddenly gave rise to an epiphanic force, revealing the essence of all mechanics.

  The next moment, Mu Xiao's consciousness intercepted the source of 'Mechanical Grasp' again. He realized that the idea could be transformed into innate potential. If he chose to absorb it, it would become a new ability. After becoming a new ability, the original source absorbed later could be used to enhance the improvement of "Mechanical Grasp", not limited to overall innate potential. It was completely possible to strengthen a single ability trait, making the strengthening more targeted and effective than dispersing the source to enhance overall innate potential.

  So, Mu Xiao wouldn't waste this important ability, and would naturally continue to grasp this new ability. So now, apart from his 'Mind Force' technique, he added this 'Mechanical Grasp', and in the future, the pure source could be allocated among them, thereby accelerating the comprehension of mechanical knowledge.

  However, Mu Xiao had grasped some mechanical knowledge during the Evolutionary Era, otherwise he wouldn't have been able to modify the "Super Frequency Microwave Blade" and "*". Therefore, his mastery of mechanics improved much faster than ordinary people.

  Mechanical Mastery is the ability of the Spiritual Intelligence system, possessing a good understanding of mechanical knowledge, as well as the ability to repair machinery, modify overclocking values, and control any mechanical properties. Generally speaking, Spiritual Intelligence is a relatively difficult ability to upgrade, relying solely on comprehension skills. However, Mu Xiao has the original source, which can enhance the soul's understanding of "mechanics", having an unparalleled innate advantage.

  The spiritual intelligence system is a kind of wisdom stored in the soul. When the spiritual intelligence system's ability reaches an extreme limit, to make a breakthrough, one must also comprehend their own mechanical soul secret method and perform the ultimate transformation. If one cultivates the mechanical type of soul secret method, their mechanical abilities become even stronger, allowing for human-machine unity, with just a thought forming ideal weapons, or even transforming machines into their own embodiment.

  Moreover, there are some "Soul Secret Methods" that can manipulate a large number of mechanical puppets, but Mu Xiao is not very clear about the cultivation method. After all, he was not on this path before, but he can improve his innate potential and has a certain ability to cultivate mechanical-type soul secret methods. Additionally, he has the intention of divine power, which is the co-cultivation potential of "Source Power Martial Arts" and "Soul Secret Methods". He feels that he can comprehend all cultivation methods.

  "No wonder this mutant woman didn't have any special abilities in battle, it turns out her ability source was 'mechanical knowledge'..." Mu Xiao examined the mutant woman's corpse and only then discovered that on the work uniform she wore, there was an ID badge with the occupation of mechanical engineer.

  There is a mechanical research room under the lawyer's office, Mu Xiao guessed that this variant woman was one of the technicians, and it was possible that when the variant occurred, the variant woman ate several brains of other technicians, and only then did she fully evolve into a variant person, possessing a large amount of mechanical knowledge, giving birth to the source of the spiritual system.

  The side explains the ferocity of the variant people, because this variant woman is not a combat type. If it were a combat-type variant person, the ability that emerges would probably not be the source of the spiritual system.

  "It's time to go back and prepare for the move... But before that, let's head back to the underground floor first, change into a set of inner armor equipment and weapons." Mu Xiao stood up, stretched his waist, and his whole body made a crackling sound like popping beans. He picked up the backpack that had fallen at the foot of the stairs and put away ten high-value precious blood pearls.

  Mù Xiǎo had grasped the 'mechanical' ability, which could clear the ionic virus attached to the mechanical components. Although his mechanical ability was not high at present, it was enough to activate a small part of the functions of weapons and equipment, which would help him on his way back and return. Even if he encountered powerful mutant creatures, he would have more means to cope with them.
