Hemolytic Totem

## **Information**

Hemolytic Swordsmen had emerged during the Ancient Arcana Kingdom time period as a way for masters to increase the strength of their servants by altering their servants’ existing bloodlines. However, it had severe side effects, and the strength increase was limited. Even so, it was still used as an effective way to increase a common person’s strength. Many who knew that they had reached the limit of their future potential were often willing to become Hemolytic Swordsmen.

Starting from the secret method for cultivating Hemolytic Swordsmen of the Arcana Race told by Petalocke. Su Chen discovered that the method for developing Hemolytic Swordsmen had some similarities to the insights he had gleaned from the Ferocious Race youths concerning the creation of Totemic Inscriptions. Both relied on external transformation to increase a person’s combat strength.

The Ferocious Race’s Totemic Inscriptions method was much simpler and cruder, but it was only really useful for the Ferocious Race, who possessed innately powerful physiques. Creating Hemolytic Swordsmen was much more complex, and it took a heavy toll on an individual’s lifespan. However, it was suitable for anyone to use.

Thus, Su Chen researched how to combine these two techniques, which he decided to call the Hemolytic Totem.

Origin Skills could be loaded onto the Hemolytic Totem, while the Primordial Blood Incarnation could be turned into the motor for the Hemolytic Totem.

There are two kinds of Hemolytic Totems. One is the kind that can directly accept an Origin Skil (Totemic Martial Artists), while the other accepts Origin Substances (Shadow Servants). The biggest difference between the two is that there is no way of improving the former, while the latter can be improved upon.

The first version can only hold 3 inscriptions before they are covered by them. The second version can hold 5 inscriptions.

## **Shadow Servants: Book 3 - Ch 4**

Using nine needles of various sizes, Su Chen had engraved an intricate tattoo on his prisoners’s entire bodies; almost every area of skin had been covered with thick black ink. When the light shone on those engravings, there was actually no reflection of light, as if they were unfathomably deep.

Not all of their bodies could tolerate the medicinal power of the Hemolytic Totem, some of them died. But when it was a success the prisoner’s figure began to slowly fade before it completely disappeared from sight. That was because Su Chen used in the Hemolytic Totem a Origin Substance that he called Shadow. Su Chen had extracted this Shadow Origin Substance from the Darkness Stone that he found after Silence Laboratory exploded. The prisoner was simply manifesting this “shadow power” by shadow concealment.

Upon concealing himself in a shadow, his figure began to disappear. This kind of disappearance was on the physical level. It would be difficult to detect even if someone passed their hand through the previously occupied space. The user could only be detected via Origin Energy. The Hemolytic Totem wouldn’t give someone that much power. It was just a vehicle that was responsible for transferring power. It was like a blank slate in that regard.

If you wanted some kind of ability, you would need to first give it a corresponding supplement. Naturally, this would consume Origin Energy.

One could say that the Hemolytic Totem had realized a transition away from the Ferocious Race’s Totemic Inscriptions. In addition, there were many more available possibilities, and its future potential was much higher.

The first individual with a completed Hemolytic Totem had been augmented with Shadow Origin Substance. Even though the current Shadow Origin Substance could only confer Shadow Concealment, its further development could result in even more shadow-type moves. The specifics depended on what aspects Su Chen wanted to focus on improving, as well as the physical composition of his Shadow Servants.

In some sense, this was like a bloodline. However, it had no way of being passed on, and it couldn’t help a person raise their cultivation base or break through a bottleneck.

Even Origin Skills could be added to the current Hemolytic Totem, but only a limited number, including the Shadow Concealment conferred by the Shadow Origin Substance.

## **Dragonfish: Book 3 - Ch 65**

Based on the Shadow Servant but used a mix of different Origin Substance, with the Soaring Serpent's Origin Substance as the Basis, in replacement to the Shadow Origin Substance. They obtain the ability to breath underwater and to become Dragonfish, a half-human half-fish (mermaid-like) people.

## **Totemic Martial Artists: Book 3 - Ch 153**

Su Chen succeeded in constructing a Hemolytic Totem that consumed 90% blood Qi and 10% Origin Energy. However, this also posed a problem, which was how martial artists could possibly utilize Origin Energy. Su Chen resolved that problem using Origin Stones. A single Origin Stone was enough for person. Then, Origin Energy became 50% of the consumption. They have the Hemolytic Totem drawn on them, nd are expending their own blood Qi and Origin Energy in equal measure.

Body Tempering martial artists only needed a single Origin Stone to reach the power level of a normal Qi Drawing Realm cultivator.
