Modern Cultivation : The Strongest Couple Bonded by Vampire System

Chapter 283: Fairy's Biology

'Our case is unique, King. The progenitor is dead, but not really dead. The essence is still in this world.

As for the other case I mentioned, the progenitor's essence was removed from this world, which caused the drop in strength until it was reborn back in its world.'

'So if the human progenitor is killed, all humanity except those I transformed will be weakened?'

'Yes, we call this the resonance effect.'

Understanding the situation, Alex then said to Alice, "How about this? We will check on it after I finish some tasks.

Looking for your race's progenitor wouldn't be easy. And with our current strength, it's nothing more than suicide."

Hearing this, Alice felt relieved. They then exchanged some more small talk.

Alex started asking how her cultivation was progressing. Did it have any effect on her fairy dust?

"Now that you mention it, this is one of the questions I want to ask you before.

Qi can be used to enhance parts of our body. If I try it on my wings, will it be effective?

You know our dust is created from a special organ on our back. It's connected to our wings.

If I can do this, I am sure I could enhance my strength quickly."

"I don't know, it's untested. How does the qi react to your fairy dust?"

"It doesn't have any reaction." Alice put some thought into it.

She wanted to try it, but she also wanted to reduce the risk. Discover adventure at m-vl-em-py-r

What if she lost her fairy dust in the process? It would result in a huge problem for her.

"First, tell me how your power system works."

"My fairy race is simple. Each one is already born with the capability to use her fairy dust.

As for growth in strength, it just happens naturally. Of course, we can practice to enhance our control, raising its effectiveness."

"So all your fairies will reach their peak strength without doing anything?" Alex asked with envy in his eyes.

"It's not that simple. Since it develops naturally, it takes a long time, and not everyone is able to reach the peak.

Just like humans and feladine, each individual has their own potential. When you hit the ceiling, you will stop growing.

Now, if you can choose, Alex, which would you choose: going through our path, where it could be said your fate has been decided since your birth, or, like you, having a way to carve your own path?"

Alex didn't need to think about giving the answer. He already knew what to choose.

He then changed the topic, "What realm are you in now? Have you enhanced your body?"

"This is one of the reasons why I don't dare to test it out.

I tried to enhance my muscles and bones, but it didn't work. There was no change at all."

"What happened to the qi then?"

"It just passed through. There was no effect."

"I cannot say anything else except I need to learn how a fairy's body works," Alex said.

He meant this scientifically but then quickly realized it sounded really inappropriate.

Alice also sat there in a daze, not knowing how to respond.

"You mean you want to check on my body?" she asked with a flush of red on her cheek.

"Sorry, I just realized how I sound, but I mean that in a scientific sense. Basically, without knowing how your muscles work, there is nothing I can do.

Let me put it this way. In my case, when I was human, we absorbed oxygen into our lungs and then fueled it into our blood.

When our muscles contract, the oxygen in our blood reacts with glucose and other proteins to produce the energy we need to function.

During intense exercise, if the oxygen supply wasn't sufficient, our muscles would produce lactic acid. This lactic acid buildup is what makes our muscles feel tired and sore.

However, with constant training, our bodies adapted.

Our muscles became more efficient at processing oxygen and clearing out lactic acid, making us less tired over time.

Knowing how this works allowed me to easily find a way to use qi to enhance my body strength.

As the cells got used to the constant pressure of qi, and we even infused it inside, they started adapting, allowing us to become stronger.

This is also a similar case for mana.

Now, in your case, as a fairy, despite having a body form similar to ours, based on what you tell me, our bodies probably work differently.

First of all, the key to my strength is the adaptation capability of the cell. I do believe every sentient being is capable of doing this, but they would vary.

And if your body cells are already adapted to fairy dust or something else that changes how it completely works, then it makes sense the cultivation method I gave you doesn't work."

Hearing the many terms would have left Alice in a daze.

Thankfully, she had absorbed many books in the library, so she could at least understand what Alex explained.

She then took out a small knife and made a small scratch on her finger. She then dripped her crimson blood onto the table.

Alex looked at it in detail. At a glance, it looked similar to normal blood, but when he saw it closely, he could see the blood was different; it had many shimmering golden dust particles inside it.

Alex picked it up with his finger and started using his ability, focusing solely on it.

"The fairy dust seems to affect a fairy's whole biology, how their organs function.

Even this blood alone is proof of it. I don't even need a microscope to tell the dust is not just here as decoration."

"Alice, what happens if a fairy gets their wings torn?"

Fear reflected in Alice's eyes as the thought of it was horrendous. For a fairy, the pain of having their wings torn is worse than even death.
