My Weekly Refreshing Mentor Spirit-Chapter 235 - 221: The World of Dragons and Suffering

This sickly beautiful young lady called herself "Obsidian," and she was very efficient in her actions. In a very short time, she disseminated the information that Xue Dili needed, with dedicated personnel helping to organize it. Perhaps half an hour later, Xue Dili will have it.

But he also knew that these refugees would not know too many secrets, so he might as well do a good deed casually.

At the same time, he understood that this woman did not reveal her real name. He didn't know whether she was deliberately hiding it or if it was a habit of this world to introduce themselves by their pseudonym instead of their real name.

However, it didn't matter, Xue Dili wasn't concerned about what she was really called. Perhaps after curing these people and leaving some food and water, he would depart.

Incidentally, leaving Little Dragon Lady here, Xue Dili would not take a child with him, let alone set out on an adventure in this world with an eight-month-old child. If these people were trustworthy, leaving Little Dragon Lady here would be the best choice.

"I am ready, milord." Obsidian knelt in front of Xue Dili and gently undid her clothing, then slowly turned around and lay on the ground, her two long drooping ears resting on the wooden plank.

At this moment, Old Demon Emperor also looked at the densely packed protruding tumors on her back and said, "The radiation illness in this world is so strange. Why does it grow like this?"

He had also learned about radiation and nuclear weapons on Blue Star, having some basic understanding of the matter.

Xue Dili didn't know either. Blue Star's radiation illness often resulted in large-scale skin lesions and organ failure and cancer, rather than distinctly growing "tumors and normal skin".

Especially her normal skin, white like jade, and just a small distance away, the tumors were as disgusting as seeing a monstrous shape. Such a stark contrast naturally puzzled Old Demon Emperor.

"Maybe, it's a special physique evolved by the locals to survive in the high-radiation nuclear winter..." Xue Dili tapped her back with his finger, and the next moment, the Cursed Blood entered her body as easily as a swimming dragon.

"What do you mean?" Old Demon Emperor continued to ask.

"Just as I thought, the natives of this world possess extremely strong radiation metabolism, and they gather all the radiation together to form a special organ, allowing the rest of their body to function completely normally..." Xue Dili felt the feedback from the Cursed Blood, but frowned.

"So, for her, this disgusting and ugly tumor is her organ for absorbing radiation? Is this young lady's mind messed up, modifying her occipital area and spine into radiation organs?" Old Demon Emperor's sarcasm was sharp.

Normally, when faced with the necessity to convert part of their body into a radiation-absorbing organ, people would consider their hands or legs, which are not vital organs, but she chose the occipital area and spine instead.

Moreover, the occipital area and spine grew like bridges connected together.

Xue Dili touched the tumor, and Obsidian let out a low hum, but she quickly held back and covered her mouth.

Meanwhile, Xue Dili had no other thoughts but was shocked and speechless.

"What's wrong?" Old Demon Emperor asked.

"This tumor is alive, it has its own thoughts and independent life, and this thing is not just an organ for storing radiation, it is more like..." Xue Dili's words were filled with confusion and perplexity, finally using the closest term, "Magic Organ!"

"What? Magic Organ?" Old Demon Emperor was slightly stunned, even doubting if he heard it wrong.

"Yes, they convert radiation into special bio-energy stored in the diseased organ, and at critical times, they can extract radiation energy from the diseased organ for combat... Hard to imagine, such a race and world coexisting with radiation exists in the world..." Xue Dili was shocked at this point.

This is also why he did not immediately resolve the disgusting twisted tumor, because for Obsidian, this tumor is both the root of her pain and the source of all her strength. This tumor is more like a cultivator's "Dantian" to her.

It stores countless special bio-energy transformed from radiation energy, and at a crucial moment, this biomass energy will be utilized to convert into her own power.

Xue Dili thought of the unique extraordinary system of this world mentioned by Senior Olivia... Evil Mage!

And the woman in front of him was undoubtedly an Evil Mage, but her body had mutated to the point where she could no longer endure radiation. From the information returned by the Cursed Blood, in less than three years, this tumor will completely erode her spine.

By then, she would be confined to a wheelchair, and just a few years later, her entire occipital area would be covered in tumors, practically rendering her dead.

"This also explains your previous question, why she would place the radiation organ at the most critical location of the spine..." Xue Dili continuously perceived the information from the Cursed Blood, explaining, "Because the Magic Organ here allows the entire body to use the radiation energy from it at the fastest speed..."

Old Demon Emperor was silent.

He suddenly had a terrifying conjecture, since this woman placed the Magic Organ in her spine, there must be others crazier, directly placing the Magic Organ in the heart or brain, right?

In other words, for the people of this world, the more they pursued powerful strength, the more they needed to place their tumors on critical organs. Similarly, the stronger the power, the larger the tumors, leading to quicker deaths...

"What a... tragic world..." Old Demon Emperor was silent for a long while, after understanding the logic, he could only utter such a sigh.

"Don't be so sarcastic; your world isn't much better." Xue Dili immediately retorted, "In your world, it's the same. Everyone desperately learns and develops Magic, extracting Life Force to temporarily increase their combat power. The stronger they are, the shorter their lifespan. How is that different from them having to place tumors on crucial parts?"

Old Demon Emperor was left speechless, having been instantly countered. He could only remain silent on the side because, from this viewpoint, their world and this world were equally tragic, where everyone had to exchange their life for combat power.

Except their tumors had independently evolved separate lives, making the tumors and host bodies bizarrely symbiotic two entities.

But what confounded Xue Dili was that the tumor contained genes completely different from her own, strangely as if a parasite was embedded in her body, but various signs and genetic comparisons revealed that it was entirely her own tumor.

Somehow, these genes seemed familiar...

Strange...

With these thoughts, Xue Dili kept his hand on her back, pondering the next steps.

His initial reaction was akin to his use of Cursed Blood against grotesque creatures in the Fairy Tale World, which involved extracting the tumor separately and transforming an internal Magic Organ into an external one.

When needed, it could be attached to the body to unleash its powers, and when not needed, it could be detached and stored separately.

However, upon reflection, he realized there might be a better solution because he had previously devised a method for cultivating "Magic Organs."

That is, the Magic Ring System that existed in the Giant Beast World!

Although her world was different, making something like a Magic Ring was clearly impossible. Nevertheless, a similar method could be employed by materializing a part of the soul to craft an external Magic Organ for tumor storage, cumulating excess radiation and pollution therein over time.

Essentially, transforming the tumor into something akin to a "Dantian."

He looked at the sickly woman, her upper body sprawled on the ground, maintaining this position, and directly stated his solution.

However, the woman who called herself Obsidian seemed momentarily stunned; she didn't understand what Xue Dili meant by materializing the soul and Magic Organ...

"Forget it, just watch me work…" The Cursed Blood swiftly and decisively severed all the diseased areas, separating the entire tumor from the healthy cells.

Xue Dili grasped the tumor, instantly refining it while the Cursed Blood, using the principles of the old Magic Ring, integrated the tumor not onto her body but directly into her soul.

After doing all this, Xue Dili let out a sigh of relief; everything went smoothly, and he was prepared to absorb the disease into his body using the Cursed Blood if something went wrong.

Fortunately, there was no danger. Theory achieved, practice achieved, a large patch of skin and flesh on her back, coupled with the tumor, fell away, these areas cut away by the Cursed Blood.

It just required bandaging, and estimated recovery would take over a dozen days, leaving just a ferocious scar on the once pristine, jade-like back.

"Done! Try sensing your soul's Magic Organ—is your ability still readily available for combat?" Xue Dili wiped away nonexistent sweat from his forehead and asked.

Obsidian was still in a daze; unbelieving, she touched the back of her head and back, no longer feeling the repulsive tumor but rather the fresh, throbbing pain akin to the stirring of life coming from the wound.

For some reason, her eyes seemed to moisten, but reason prevailed over emotion at this moment; immediately, she sensed her powers, delighting in the realization that she genuinely could detect this "Magic Organ."

Without delay, she used it, and in the next moment, from her back emerged a hideously twisted "monster," seemingly an amalgamation of the tumor and disease, yet quickly coalescing upon appearing...

Transforming into a dragon-shaped creature laden with twisted tumors and pollution!

At that moment, both Xue Dili and the Old Demon King were astounded.

The Old Demon Emperor wanted to say something.

But Xue Dili pulled along the Little Dragon Lady still munching on the Magic Stick, and the Cursed Blood instantaneously entered her body. Xue Dili's pupils tightened, gazing at the diseased dragon behind Obsidian...

"The abnormal gene in that tumor is almost identical to the gene in the Little Dragon Lady—it belongs to the same clan!"

"How is that possible?" The Old Demon Emperor's mind instantly malfunctioned.

At that moment, Xue Dili arrived at a terrifying conclusion: "It's not that the people of this world adapted to radiation, but that their bodies exhibit traces of Dragon Race flesh. Yet, their original physiques are incompatible with Dragon Race flesh, thus marginalizing the Dragon Race flesh into becoming a tumor..."

"They aren't Dragon Race hybrids, I'm certain, which leaves only one possibility…" Xue Dili closed his eyes and revealed his conclusion,

"This world's radiation, or rather their food or water, is entirely polluted by the Dragon Race... They are born stained with Dragon Race genes, having to gradually adapt to the power this pollution brings..."

"Likewise, they engage in a bizarre symbiotic relationship with the Dragon Race."

Xue Dili had never attempted it before. He immediately placed his hand on the ground, and the Cursed Blood, like an earthworm, penetrated the soil, eventually conveying the intelligence he sought...

In the earth's soil, large quantities of single cells resembling those in the Little Dragon Lady and this sick woman's tumor were discovered, being the very sources of radiation!

As if the entire planet had once been permeated by Dragon Blood.
