Chapter 229: Ryan's Resurrection?
Xu Yi pondered over breakthrough strategies, and before he knew it, more than ten minutes had passed.
He took a deep breath, ready to make a decision when suddenly, a dark shadow crashed through the window glass and burst into the room.
It was a monster covered in blood.
Lisa immediately assumed a battle stance, and Xu Yi also tightened his grip on the Alchemy Revolver, but when he got a clear look at the intruder, he stopped Lisa, who was about to attack.
"Professor Daniel?" Xu Yi spoke softly.
He had been monitoring the battle situation through the Nest of the Evil God and knew that Mia had sent Daniel out, but he didn't expect him to be sent to his location.
Could Mia think that being with him was safer? Xu Yi couldn't help but let out a wry smile. He was hardly in a position to protect himself.
As an Exorcism Artifact, the chains that sent Daniel here had already exhausted their energy.
Daniel could easily break free, but he didn't. He lay on the ground, motionless.
Daniel's eyes moved, glancing only momentarily at the test tube before shifting his gaze away, staring blankly and lifelessly at the ceiling.
"Professor Daniel, could you take a look at this potion for me?" Seeing Daniel, Xu Yi's eyes lit up as he spoke urgently.
In the realm of supernatural blood research, Daniel was the true master.
Born into the Finn family and with the Totte Library open to him from a young age, Daniel, with his outstanding talent, immersed himself in relentless study, a level of dedication that Xu Yi, a "latecomer," couldn't match.
So maybe he knew why the God-melting Blood couldn't be purified.
Professor Daniel did not respond, his gaze remaining empty on the ceiling.
Thanks to the Dragon Blood Burst Potion, he was able to stay alive temporarily, but his heart was already dead.
He didn't want to do anything, and he couldn't do anything.
He even hoped that the potion's effects would wear off soon. Every minute and every second he was alive was so painful, so agonizing.
Seeing Daniel in this state, Xu Yi's brows furrowed slightly.
Even if a gun were pointed at his head now, Daniel would not respond.
The psychic trauma he had suffered was too severe. His brain had automatically closed off his self-awareness, refusing to communicate with the outside world.
Luckily, Xu Yi was an expert in this field. With his knowledge in Psychology Entries, he knew exactly how to bring someone back to their senses.
"Professor Daniel, you must have always been troubled, haven't you? Despite being born into the Finn family, you were just a Common person, unable to inherit the Talent of an exorcist. As an ambitious person, you couldn't accept that."
Xu Yi used the Cold Reading Technique to construct a psychological portrait for Daniel.
"So you studied the family's knowledge desperately, and you finally found a path to achieve transcendence: Olivedo's blood. However, the experiment stalled after reaching a certain stage."
Xu Yi walked over to Daniel, quietly looking into his eyes.
"Of course, that wouldn't stop you. You planned to resort to Ryan's fresh blood. For that, you didn't hesitate to cooperate with werewolves and vampires, staging an elaborate charade on the plane. Once you had Ryan's remains, the next step was Resurrection, to uncover the secret of his blood..."
Xu Yi's voice suddenly turned biting cold, "The Evil Deity resurrected because of you, and you killed your own family! You also killed the person you loved the most! But you don't feel guilty, you only regret that you couldn't set foot on the path to transcendence!"
Xu Yi's words were too venomous, so much so that even Lisa couldn't bear it and turned her head away.
Daniel finally reacted, he roared as he rose up and pounced toward Xu Yi like a wild beast.
But both of his hands were broken, he possessed no fighting strength at all, Xu Yi grabbed Daniel's collar and slammed him hard onto the lab bench.
Xu Yi stared down at Daniel with a fierce gaze, "Did I speak incorrectly? You coward! Mia has really gone blind to fancy someone like you. You're not even dead yet, but you're giving up already? Do you even want to take revenge?"
When Daniel heard the word "revenge", a trace of spirit finally appeared in his eyes. After a moment of silence, he spoke softly, "What do you need me to do for you?"
"Help me purify this blood, I'll kill Noavies for you!"
Xu Yi decided to risk it all, better to give it a fight than flee like a beaten dog.
Daniel stared into Xu Yi's eyes and nodded, "Alright! Tell me about the situation with the Blood Potion."
The situation was urgent; Xu Yi explained the process of creating the blood in the simplest terms, without hiding anything.
If this had been any other time, Daniel would surely have been astonished by Xu Yi's thinking, but he knew there was no time left. After pondering for a moment, he said, "Inject the Blood Potion into my heart."
Although Xu Yi was a bit puzzled, he still did as told.
After the God-melting Blood was injected into Daniel's heart, his complexion became even paler, his body suffused with surging blood energy.
A moment later, he collapsed on the ground wearily, his voice hoarse as he said, "Cut open my chest."
With no hands, Daniel needed Xu Yi to do it for him.
The knife cut open Daniel's chest, squeezing out platinum-colored blood. Xu Yi caught it with a test tube, observing closely—the impurities had indeed decreased.
[God-melting Blood (Slightly Purified Version), "Quality; S", "Fusion Success Rate: 13%", "Promotion Potential: Red Epic - ??"]
Xu Yi involuntarily furrowed his brow, the fusion success rate rose from "8%" to "13%". There was indeed an improvement, but it was much too small.
"This is the limit of what I can do," Daniel explained, "Vampires and werewolves suffer from wasting disease because 'Evil Deity Pollutant Factors' are present in their blood, which are the impurities in the God-melting Blood."
"So, Ryan is able to cure the wasting disease because he can absorb the Evil Deity Pollutant Factors?" Xu Yi probed.
Daniel nodded, "Exactly, I was just imitating Ryan, using the Dragon Blood in my heart to absorb the pollutant factors. But I am not Ryan, after all, this is the best I could do."
Daniel sounded somewhat disheartened, "A substantial purification would require nothing less than Ryan's resurrection."
He raised his head, looking at Xu Yi, "You should leave quickly! I know all that you said just now was to purposely enrage me. I thank you once again on behalf of the children of the Finns."
Xu Yi did not respond, examining the God-melting Blood within the test tube.
Should he attempt it one more time? He was in a dilemma, as the fusion rate had improved, but the extent of that improvement was too small.
Just then, the sound of a sonic boom suddenly came from the horizon, drawing Xu Yi's and Daniel's attention instantly. They looked up from the balcony window.
A figure streaked across the sky, flying towards the direction of Noavies.
Immense wings unfolded behind the figure, and within the crimson pupils seemed to burn blood-colored flames. As the figure roared, the sharp fangs of a vampire were revealed.

It was a very beautiful girl, with a strange totem mark on her forehead, where the sun and moon intertwined.
Xu Yi's eyes widened in surprise, his face in disbelief because it was Carlyle!
What surprised him even more, Daniel suddenly exclaimed, "It's Ryan! Ryan is resurrected!"
