American Exorcism Male God-Chapter 188 The Strength of Prime Posture
Xu Yi had just opened the door when he saw a scene that was heartening.
Sunlight shone through the skylight onto Carlyle, where the slender and soft girl stood on one leg, performing ballet movements. She began to stretch her body, each line flowing with youth, and every inch of her skin was as smooth and lustrous as jade.
If you could wake up to this scene every day, it would certainly be a feast for the senses.

"Good morning!" Xu Yi greeted.
Carlyle hadn’t finished today’s morning class yet, so she just smiled sweetly, considering that an answer.
A massive figure suddenly blocked Xu Yi’s view; Carlyle’s aunt stood in front, staring intently at him.
"Sorry, I got up too late today, didn’t make breakfast, so you should go eat outside!"
Though she claimed to be sorry, her tone was harsh, like stones hitting Xu Yi’s head, effectively serving as a notice to see him off.
"Someone will come to pick me up later; I truly apologize for last night’s intrusion!" Xu Yi’s mood was not affected in the slightest, as he kept a faint smile on his face.
Carlyle’s aunt’s tense face slowly relaxed, and she had to admit that his elegant demeanor was indeed pleasing to the eye.
But she knew that just being good-looking was useless; she was a living example of that, having to rely solely on herself, life had been too hard.
So she stayed silent.
The doorbell rang suddenly, and Xu Yi saw a car parked outside.
"Carlyle, I must leave!" Xu Yi called out.
"I’ll see you out!" Carlyle hurriedly ended her morning exercise and rushed back to her room to change.
When Carlyle’s aunt opened her door and saw the car outside clearly, she was stunned—it was a Maybach, undoubtedly a top-of-the-line luxury car.
"Mr. Xu Yi, I’ve purchased all the gifts as per your instructions and put them in the trunk!" A formally dressed driver respectfully opened the car’s trunk.
"Please, help bring the things inside!" Xu Yi casually instructed.
Carlyle’s aunt was completely dumbstruck; she could tell that Xu Yi wasn’t just putting on airs—the way he nonchalantly directed the driver without any change of expression showed that he was accustomed to such things.
"Sorry for the bother yesterday, please accept these little gifts as an apology!"
Xu Yi said with a smile, then got into the car and told the driver to leave.
Both of them watched as the Maybach drove away, too stunned to come back to their senses for a long time.
"Oh no! I forgot to say thank you!" Carlyle’s aunt suddenly clapped her hands and regretfully exclaimed.
She turned her head and fixated on Carlyle, her eyes gleaming, "Carlyle, how do you know Mr. Xu Yi? What does he do? What’s his family situation like?"
Carlyle was momentarily stunned, and when she came to, her first reaction wasn’t joy, but a sense of panic.
She suddenly felt that she was very, very far from the world Xu Yi belonged to.
......
In Cambridge, at MIT.
Xu Yi stood in front of a gigantic fish tank; the material of the tank was obviously not ordinary glass, as it housed a fierce wild crocodile.
"Pay attention to that golden little fish!" Daniel reminded from beside him.
Xu Yi’s gaze was instantly captured by the little fish, which was only the size of two thumbs, slender in build, its golden scales shimmering as though crafted from gold leaf.
The fierce crocodile spotted a tasty morsel and clamped down on the golden fish in one bite.
The crocodile’s bite force was terrifying, capable of reaching 12,000 pounds, enough to crush bones with ease; yet, the golden little fish remained unscathed in the face of the crocodile’s biting.
The fish struggled free from the crocodile’s mouth, revealing a row of sharp teeth, and lunged at the crocodile.
The tough hide of a crocodile needs no explanation, but against the little fish’s teeth, it was as fragile as tofu, and the crocodile was soon gnawed to a bloody mess, the water in the tank stained red.
Xu Yi watched the scene in the fish tank that defied all common sense and remained silent for a long time.
After he arrived at MIT, the first thing he did was attend an admissions interview, after which he was brought here, to the secretive "Mystic Blood Research Group 5" located beneath MIT.
Here, the security was strict; not only were there modern protective measures, but also an extensive exorcism array.
Xu Yi felt a vague sense of familiarity and upon inquiry, he learned that MIT was involved in the research of the New York War God Repository.
"How are our research findings?" Daniel asked with pride as he stood in front of an aquarium.
Daniel was the leader of Research Group 5, and while it was somewhat coincidental, it was also within reason, given that he was a biology doctorate from MIT.
It was a Common member who had initially received Xu Yi, but upon seeing him, Daniel took over the task himself.
"Amazing! What species is this little golden fish?" Xu Yi asked curiously.
"This is just a common Pomacentridae from the Americas, but it has been injected with Olivedo’s blood," explained Daniel.
"Olivedo’s blood?"
"Olivedo was an Ancient Roman who lived in a village oppressed by the gods, and he wanted to rebel. But he lacked the power until one day, he encountered a dying Dragon."
Daniel spoke softly, "After bathing in the Dragon Blood, Olivedo’s body became invincible. He later took revenge on the gods, slaughtering many divine beings."
Xu Yi was skeptical of Daniel’s story. He had read "The Secret History of Ryan" and was unsure if Olivedo’s story was also "by Daniel."
"Our Group 5’s research goal is to recreate Olivedo’s blood, and for this, we have studied the blood of many mystical creatures," Daniel shifted his gaze.
Xu Yi followed Daniel’s gaze and felt a sudden surge of excitement.
Row upon row of low-temperature storage cabinets were pieced together to form five "silver walls," housing various supernatural creatures’ blood.
As Xu Yi looked at those blood samples, he felt an itch in his heart.
"So, has our research succeeded?" Xu Yi quickly adapted to his new role and already considered himself a member of the blood research team.
Whoever said he wasn’t part of the blood research team, he would have words with them!
"Of course not! Otherwise, we’d be opening champagne to celebrate instead of slogging away here doing experiments," Daniel tapped the aquarium, "Keep watching."
The alligator inside the aquarium no longer moved, its brain eaten away.
The little golden fish began to sprout grotesque tumors on its surface, becoming terrifyingly ferocious. No longer satisfied with the dead alligator, it started striking the aquarium, attempting to attack the people outside.
As the aquarium shook, Xu Yi worried that the fish might break free and stage a classic biological crisis.
But Daniel remained calm. After the little fish hit the glass several times, its body suddenly burst open and turned into a pile of mush.
"Right now, Olivedo’s blood has two major drawbacks. One, it causes uncontrollable mutations after being injected, and even worse, the effect only lasts seven or eight minutes before the subject explodes," said Daniel.
Xu Yi’s mind suddenly stirred. He remembered one of the effects of the "Blood Throne," "Prime Posture."
If the blood merger was successful, the negative effects in the blood would be eliminated.
That is to say, if he could successfully integrate Olivedo’s blood, both the mutations and the explosive death would cease to exist.
Xu Yi was thrilled inside. He hadn’t paid much attention to this effect before, but now, it seemed like a "Divine Skill"!
Mystic blood from various strange creatures was bound to have adverse effects.
Moreover, the higher the Quality of the blood, the stronger the negative effects.
For instance, Olivedo’s blood, like that of werewolves and vampires, would cause werewolves to involuntarily transform during the full moon, significantly reducing their intelligence.
The drawbacks of vampire blood were even more apparent: fear of sunlight, Holy Water, and silver Magic Artifacts, plus the necessity to feed on fresh blood—with so many drawbacks one could fill a basket.
However, with the enhancement of "Prime Posture," these negative aspects would be stripped away.
Xu Yi felt he had underestimated the "Blood Throne" entry and silently resolved not to merge rashly.
After all, the Blood Throne only offered one chance to merge!
