Chapter 1109: Chapter 454: Lucky Anchor Point and Damage Transfer
Liang Yuan looked at a rune bone shaped like a bone arrow in his hand and examined it carefully.
This rune bone had a sharp end, was overall flat, and resembled a sharp backward spike growing from the head of some mutant fish.
It also somewhat resembled the spike on the head of an anglerfish.
The entire thing was white, with intricate runes entwined on it, emitting a faint greenish glow.
These runes were nearly impossible to discern with the naked eye unless perceived through spiritual power.
Liang Yuan activated his Spiritual Ability Assessment skill, and a large amount of analysis data appeared in his mind.
"Item Analysis... Swordfish Bone Spike..."
"Main attribute... Spirit Class... Secondary attribute... Constitution..."
"Skill Category... Causal Skills..."
Liang Yuan immediately smiled, "There really is a causal skill!"
He immediately put away the Swordfish Bone Spike and began comprehending it on the spot.
Compared to the purple rune bone, the causal skills on the green rune bone were significantly reduced.
Liang Yuan explored it several times and was already able to simulate the runes on the bone arrow using spiritual power.
Through multiple simulations, Liang Yuan suddenly discovered a peculiar sensation.
"At the moment the rune forms, there seems to be a special fluctuation in the surrounding space!"
Liang Yuan, with his keen perception, noticed this and immediately began to study the source of this peculiar fluctuation.
He concentrated his spiritual power, repeatedly using it to deduce the rune’s operation method, trying hard to sense this fluctuation.
Unaware of how many times he deduced, suddenly, Liang Yuan felt his spiritual power, through this unique rune method, seemed to sense a special barrier.
Liang Yuan’s heart moved instantly, striving to break through this layer of barrier.
"Bang!"
Suddenly, under the impact of spiritual power, a certain texture was torn apart, as if it were a layer of membrane, or a layer of glass.
Liang Yuan clearly felt the breaking of the barrier.
Simultaneously, a crystal-clear thin thread extended from within the barrier into the void.
The other end of the thread was entwined on himself!
"This is..."
Liang Yuan was shocked; he sensed a mysterious power from this thread.
This power was ever-changing, mysterious, and elusive.
At the same time, Liang Yuan suddenly understood the meaning of this rune.
He instinctively used spiritual vibrations on this thread; the thread immediately vibrated, and Liang Yuan felt a sudden lightness on himself.
As if some invisible constraint had been unlocked by him.
He used his spiritual power to manipulate this thread, pulling it to a bookshelf in the forbidden room.
Then, he closed his eyes, instinctively waving his hand!
Whoosh—!
In an instant, the bone arrow in his hand shot out directly, with a bang, landing straight on that bookshelf!
The point of impact of the bone arrow was precisely where the thread was wound around.
Liang Yuan suddenly opened his eyes, and in an instant, his spiritual power withdrew from that state.
The thread also vanished without a trace.
However, a delighted smile appeared on Liang Yuan’s face.
"I succeeded!"
He quickly looked at his attribute panel.
Sure enough, a new skill had appeared in the skill bar!
[Lucky Anchor Point]: Causal Skill
Skill Quality: Green
Skill Requirements: Spiritual Power 12 points, Constitution 10 points
Skill Effect: Use spiritual power to perceive and guide the causality line, and after locking onto an enemy, your attack will have a certain hit effect.
"Lucky Anchor Point!"
Liang Yuan looked at the origin of the skill introduction, and his eyes immediately shone with brilliance.
"Under the fixation of the causality line, a certain hit effect is produced!"
"So the core of causal skills is to master that causality line?"
Liang Yuan immediately had a subtle feeling in his heart, already understanding the significance of causal skills.
He pondered, having a general idea of the direction he should strive towards.
Once again taking out the sword rune bone of Huang Mingkai, Liang Yuan felt the runes on it.
His spiritual power began to deduce again, time after time, and every time the rune deduction was completed, Liang Yuan would deliberately wait for a moment.
He was waiting for that mysterious special fluctuation from nowhere.
However, no matter how he perceived, he could never sense the source of such a fluctuation.
"What’s going on? Why can I easily sense the causality line when deducing the runes on the bone arrow, but the runes on this rune bone are so difficult to sense?"
Liang Yuan frowned in thought; both rune bones were causal skills, and he hadn’t even changed his cultivation spot, eliminating all external reasons, so the only problem lay with these two rune bones.
"Is it because Huang Mingkai’s rune bone is a purple rune bone?"
"Green quality rune bones are easier for my spiritual power to parse and perceive, while purple-quality rune bones are too profound and mysterious?"
Liang Yuan quickly made a guess, feeling a sudden excitement surging in his heart.
"Wait, if analyzed this way, could the skill on Huang Mingkai’s rune bone be of purple quality?"
Liang Yuan had encountered so many rune bones but had never before encountered a purple-quality skill!
In the system, a purple skill might require at least hundreds of thousands of points to obtain, possibly even a million or more.
"Is it difficult to comprehend the purple-quality rune bone because my spiritual power is too weak?"
Liang Yuan recalled the situation when he first comprehended the Spirit Turtle Shield rune bone.
At that time, his spiritual power wasn’t strong enough, preventing him from comprehending the Spirit Turtle Shield for a long time.
Only after his spiritual power met the standard did comprehending the Spirit Turtle Shield rune bone become very smooth.
Not only the Spirit Turtle Shield rune bone, but at that time, his spiritual power could easily comprehend other white-quality rune bones as well.
"Li Yuejin, Old Yang, and the others are all spirit ability users, and early on, only they could successfully comprehend runes, engrave runes, and make talisman stones."
"The underlying basis was always having sufficiently strong spiritual power."
"It seems my inability to comprehend Huang Mingkai’s rune bone is most likely due to insufficient spiritual power."
Liang Yuan mused, glancing at his current spiritual power.
Presently, his spirit attribute value was 57.5, and he had over 160,000 points.
"System, with 160,000 points, perform a targeted extraction of genetic attribute points!"
Without a word, Liang Yuan directly began extracting attribute points.
"Swipe!"
The system immediately displayed a spinning lottery disc.
The prize disc rapidly spun around.
Soon after, the sound of "ding ding ding" prompts continuously came through.
"Ding, congratulations to the host, you have obtained 1 Constitution Genetic Attribute."
...
All 160,000 Points were used for the lottery, which can draw sixteen Genetic Attribute Points.
The energy contained in Genetic Attribute Points is ten times higher than regular Attribute Points.
And the Points consumed are also ten times higher, requiring 10,000 Points for each draw.
Liang Yuan didn’t mind these.
These Points were meant to enhance strength, spending them on Attribute Points didn’t make him feel distressed.
Soon, sixteen Genetic Attribute Points were credited.
Liang Yuan took a look: 2 points in Constitution, 4 Strength Gene Points, 3 Agility Gene Points, 3 Spirit Gene Points, and 4 Free Gene Points.
This result made Liang Yuan breathe a slight sigh of relief.
With 3 Spirit Gene Points, plus 4 Free Gene Points, all added to the Spirit Attribute, it’s a total of 7 points.
"I wonder if this is enough to comprehend the Purple Rune Bone."
Liang Yuan murmured to himself, quietly waiting for all the Genetic Points to merge into his body.
A moment later, Liang Yuan adapted to the newly added Attribute Power.
He once again looked at his attribute panel.
Host: Liang Yuan
Constitution: 56
Power: 61
Agility: 56
Spirit: 64.5
Free Gene Points: 0
Genetic Species: Hundred-Change Demon Ape

...
Liang Yuan’s eyes gleamed, with a Spirit of 64.5, he should be able to comprehend Purple Quality skills.
He closed his eyes, and the powerful Spiritual Power flowed out instantly as he quickly began to deduce Huang Mingkai’s Rune Bone.
Five minutes later, the deduction of the runes on the Rune Bone was completed.
At the next moment, Liang Yuan sensed that familiar barrier in the void appearing again!
"Here it is!"
This fluctuation was extremely subtle, and without his Spirit surpassing sixty points, Liang Yuan wouldn’t have been able to detect it.
He quickly exhausted a large amount of Spiritual Power to tear apart this layer of invisible barrier and peel away these obstructions.
This process wasn’t just consuming Spiritual Power, his Constitution was rapidly depleting as well.
Liang Yuan had an epiphany in his heart, no wonder Causal Skills require Physical Attribute support.
This indeed is physical work.
Bang!
Suddenly, that thin barrier was broken through by Liang Yuan’s Spiritual Power.
Then it revealed a transparent thread within it.
And this single thread was twice as thick as the one from the Green Quality "Lucky Anchor Point!"
Liang Yuan was immediately delighted and used his Telekinesis to touch this thread.
One end of the thread was still connected to him, while the other end was elusive.
Liang Yuan attempted several times to guide the thread into himself, pulling it out from beyond the barrier.
At the same time, a vague understanding of the purpose of this thread emerged in his mind.
"Damage Transfer..."
This realization was wondrous, not like someone explaining a theory to you.
It’s more like when you put your hand over a flame and instinctively know it’s hot.
It’s an indescribable sensation.
A concept that can only be understood, not explained.
Liang Yuan slowly sensed and gradually grasped it.
A moment later, he opened his eyes again, contemplating.
"Damage Transfer is caused by the migration of causality."
Liang Yuan took out a Bone Saber and cut towards his palm.
Schreck!
The cut left his palm completely unscathed.
He looked up at the floor not far ahead.
There appeared a deep scratch!
Liang Yuan’s Spiritual Power directed the causality to transfer the damage of the cut directly to the floor.
"Sure enough, it transferred to the other end of the causality line."
Liang Yuan smiled, then began to ponder.
"Can this method help me resolve the issue of needing to kill Mutant Fish myself to earn Points?"
At this, Liang Yuan’s eyes flashed.
"Killing Mutant Fish requires tools, if I transfer all the causality lines carried by the tools to myself, wouldn’t it be considered that any attack from this saber is made by me?"
"Or perhaps, in the future, part of the attack I launch could be transferred to this saber?"
"When the people at the Slaughterhouse use this saber to slaughter Mutant Fish in the future, will it automatically count as my attack taking effect?"
Thinking of this, Liang Yuan couldn’t wait any longer.
Immediately, he got up, ready to experiment at the Slaughterhouse.
Just as he stepped out, he saw Li Hanzhong pacing at the door of the restricted room, seemingly waiting for him.
Liang Yuan smiled and asked, "Professor Li, what brings you here?"
Li Hanzhong quickly smiled and said, "Mr. Liang, Ren Jie told me you were looking for me, but seeing the restricted room was locked, I didn’t want to disturb you, so I waited here for a while."
Liang Yuan smiled and said, "Next time just knock, didn’t wait long, did you?"
"No, no, I just arrived not long ago."
"Alright, let’s go, I want to ask you about the Genetic Furnace, any progress?"
"I was just about to report to you," Li Hanzhong said promptly.
Liang Yuan laughed and took his arm, "Come on, let’s talk in the lab."
The two of them walked together toward the laboratory.
Li Hanzhong said, "Regarding the Genetic Furnace, Ren Jie and I have discussed it, there are currently two directions. However, given our current conditions, we can probably only achieve one of the plans."
