Chapter 23

This was a young girl around 10 years old with a head of beautiful blonde hair that was a bit messy, her clothes were also patched up a lot and her face was covered in soot, making her look like a tomboy.

But if one took a closer look at her face, they would find that this girl was so delicate that she didn't look like a mortal. She seemed to have inherited the good qualities of her parents, she was born with a natural temperament that could make others trust her.

This tombo-like girl was the daughter of Isabella and Jacob, Nala Darkmy.

Chris was observing the mother and daughter from afar. He was wearing a hat and a scarf to cover his scarred face. At the same time, he was also wrapped in a thick cloak to cover the medals on his body.

After observing for a while, Chris suddenly furrowed his brows. He put down his scarf and began to breathe rhythmically, feeling the rhythm of his surroundings. It was as if his entire body had become one with the air. Then, he exhaled deeply, as if expelling something from his body.

"Negri" Chris used the scarf to cover his mouth and nose again, trying his best to reduce his contact with the air around him as he silently thought: "I need to quickly notify Augustin, I didn't think this Evil Spirit had already developed to this point"

"It was expelled from his body?" Wang Yuan observed Chris's movements through the eyes of the infected and couldn't help but praise him.

The entirety of Reystromia was his territory, even though it had accepted a large number of outsiders, with Wang Yuan's domineering personality, there was no way he wouldn't do something like this.

"Germs: Pervasive, this germ isn't the most infectious, nor does it have any special abilities, the only thing worth mentioning is its ability to reproduce and maintain itself"

Currently, the [Pervasive] germs had spread to every corner of Reystromia, every single person living here felt like they were living in a sea of germs, their breathing, eating, drinking, all of them were interacting with the [Pervasive] germs.

The [Pervasive] germs weren't very infectious, a human would need to live here for 1-2 weeks before they would be completely infected. Even if they were infected, there wouldn't be any problems, the germs would only cause them to use up their stamina a bit faster, but it wouldn't cause much harm to the human body.

On the other hand, the Pervasive Germs were extremely sticky. Once infected, it would be extremely difficult to get rid of these germs, because once infected, these germs would quickly adapt to the host's physique, then spread to every corner of the host's body, forming a symbiotic relationship with the host.

In order to get rid of these germs, it was as if he had to clean his entire body from head to toe, from inside to outside. That way, he would not be far from death. And Chris was surrounded by these germs. Every once in a while, he would expel the germs that had entered his body.

"Is that breathing technique the so-called 'Kokyu-ho'?" Wang Yuan recalled Chris's strange breathing rate and thought about the nature of this power.

The so-called [Respiratory Art] was a power that existed faintly in this world. The information that Wang Yuan had collected over the years only mentioned the existence of this power.

Only a small number of nobles and royals still retained the cultivation method of this power. They could sense the rhythm of all living things, and through different breaths, they could harmonize with this rhythm. When they were in a state of harmony, their senses would be unprecedentedly strengthened.

Otherwise, how could a mere mortal like Chris be able to sense even the tiniest germs and expel them from his body?

Of course, this [Respiratory Art] was said to have other powers as well, but that was all the information that Wang Yuan had collected. Today was the first time he had seen someone using this [Respiratory Art], this low-magic world was truly low-magic.

Up until now, Wang Yuan had only discovered three types of supernatural powers. The first was the Church of Divine Grace, who claimed to have bathed in God's grace, thus granting them various powers that normal people couldn't. Wang Yuan had also met a priest of the Church of Divine Grace who came to Reya, and he did seem to be a bit supernatural. The second type was the remnant souls, also known as Evil Spirits. The third type was the [Respiratory Art] that Chris demonstrated.

Naturally, within the information that Wang Yuan had collected over the years, there were also a lot of clues regarding supernatural powers. For example, the Cauchy people's own Spirit Shaman, who claimed to have unlocked the 'Cauchy' spirit, allowing them to communicate with all things, call upon the name of all things, and borrow the power of all things. Wang Yuan's Righteous, Noah, was able to grasp a bit of this.

Then there was the Kingdom of Royas, this country was said to also have a supernatural power, the Ancestral Spirit Armor. According to the records, this country was able to fight against a hundred enemies at once, but Wang Yuan had never seen it before.

Aside from that, there was the most widespread supernatural power, the Shaman.

From the information that Wang Yuan had collected, Shamans were able to use various materials to perform spells, many of which looked like magic tricks to Wang Yuan, they were all techniques that used chemical reactions, such as breathing fire or creating smoke.

But there were also a few that were clearly manifestations of supernatural powers. Wang Yuan once found an image of a Shaman casting a spell from a mercenary's memories. The Shaman sprinkled something outside and turned a living person into a toad.

There were still a lot of information regarding supernatural powers in this world, but a portion of them were imaginary, while the rest hadn't appeared in this world for a very long time, or perhaps their inheritance had already been lost.

"I need to get my hands on this [Respiratory Art]." Wang Yuan thought. [Respiratory Art] was a technique that allowed one to sense and use rhythm, it didn't have much to do with the [Origin Spirit]. Even if Wang Yuan couldn't use [Respiratory Art], he could still obtain knowledge from it and build a good foundation for his future growth.

"I need to speed up my research on Nala as well" this was the main topic of research that Wang Yuan had been doing for the past few years.

Nala's mother came from the 'Child of the Dragon' family of the Dracul, it was said that she was able to awaken the Dragon's bloodline. Perhaps it was because of the stimulation from Wang Yuan's germs, or perhaps it was due to the effects of the Cauchy and Dracul's bloodlines fusing, but the Dracul's bloodline that hadn't been awakened for several generations was slowly awakening inside this little girl's body.

And that Dragon's bloodline had already half-fused with the germs that Wang Yuan infected through his mother's body when she was still a fetus, causing Wang Yuan to be unable to control those germs.

However, it was also because of this that Wang Yuan was able to use his germs to study the Dragon's bloodline inside Nala's body.

Over the past few years, Wang Yuan's analysis of the Dragon's bloodline had gained quite a bit of results. For example, the [Diffuse] germs from before were the result of Wang Yuan's deliberate manipulation of germs to mutate towards that type of germs.

Compared to Wang Yuan's original plan, the so-called [Diffuse] germs were nothing more than an accidental by-product. His ideal germs hadn't even been successfully cultivated yet, so Nala, a little girl who possessed the Dragon's bloodline and half-fused with his germs, was the best petri dish.
