Re-Birth Of A Genius. Creator/Destroyer
Chapter 169: Descendants or Mutants?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 worsh.i.p.s 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.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtSam 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.
"Your condition is actually not a bad one. You just chose a wrong path. I will teach you how to use the spiritual energy without the need of battle techniques. For now, just stay in the formation and try to conjure the spiritual energy. I will talk to you guys again tonight."
After that, Sam checked the soldiers one more time and went back to the estate to talk with Yanwu.
He passed the two blood samples to Yanwu and asked.
"Did you notice any difference in these?"
Yanwu carefully studied and said.
"There seemed to be traces or Dragon Hawks, but it is very mild and it is more like a human blood. Where did you get these?"
Sam beamed in excitement. Yanwu is most knowledgeable about the bloodlines and higher realms, for fifteen years all he did was learn as many things as possible to help Sam.
Sam explained the situation and Yanwu said.
"They might be descendants of the Dragon hawks. Even though, dragon hawks are high level beasts in this world, they are not considered so in the higher realms, at most they are above average there.
Some of them might have slipped into this realm and stayed here to die. These people might have been either the descendants of a Dragon Hawk and a human or they might have mutated by the blood of the dragon Hawks."
After hearing Yanwu's words, Sam pondered for a bit and went to the library. Other than beastiary there are other books which are related to beasts. Beastiary mostly consists on the basic information of beasts like their habits, environment they live in, special features of that environment etc.
But there are some books which give even more detailed explanation on some specific beasts, but they don't have any info on the low-level beasts.
Fortunately for him, the Dragon Hawks are not low-level.
So, Sam found the required information on the Dragon Hawks and he is clearly studying to understand the anatomy, the meridian network and the fighting styles.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmAfter more than five hours, Sam came out with the new found information. From what he understood; these guys will be able to cultivate if they cultivate a technique which was created based on the Dragon Hawk.
Because, the meridian network of the Dragon Hawk matched with the meridians of Marian and Amir. The active meridians of these people bore a stark resemblance to the meridian network a Dragon Hawk.
So, if they cultivate a technique like that, they would be able to do. But Sam only has cultivation techniques suitable for beast warriors and there are some techniques suitable for Dragon Hawk beast partners, but the problem is they are not suitable for these guys.
Sam is a special case as all his meridians are used for cultivation as he can absorb and share the energy with his companions, but in case of normal beast warriors, even though they do share the energy that happens through a particular active meridian network.
Even Watt's case was same. So, if he gave them a cultivation technique of a Beast warrior's they have to make a bond with a Dragon Hawk which is completely impossible.
Sam found two ways to deal with this and one of them is create a specific cultivation technique that can work for them.
As he was researching the cultivation techniques previously before coming to the southern star city, he is confident that he can do so, provided that he can completely understand the workings of the Dragon Hawk's meridian network to the point that he should completely familiar with all the possible outcomes that might happen when the spiritual energy is circulated in various patterns within the same network.
Because, the only active meridians in these people's bodies are of same pattern and it is hard for him to raise the remaining meridians from dormancy.
But that takes a lot of work and time, which Sam didn't want to invest now as his immediate mission is to train the battalion and he cannot simply focus on these hundred guys only.
The second thing is that refine the dragon hawk bloodline in these guys.
Yes, Sam has an idea. From what he heard from these guys, until now, they have forcefully increased their cultivation with the help of spiritual energy. Just like beasts.
So, if he refines the bloodline in their bodies, their breakthroughs will be easier and if he teaches them how to properly attack with spiritual energy, without hand signs and battle techniques and train them properly, they would be great warrior mages.
Sam kept on thinking and he is in a great dilemma to choose on his further actions.
He is even having thoughts whether he should go to this extent to help them or not. But those thoughts went as soon as they came.
After all, Sam is a person of a self-discipline and a moral bottom line, since they are right now under his responsibility and also, they are going to be working for him in the near future, Sam felt like he has an obligation to help them.
After much thought, he decided on one thing.
