Chapter 314: Chapter 314: Meridians are also Organs

"How did you know it was me? Couldn’t it have been someone else?" Lu Xiao still asked.

Kathy shrugged, "It definitely wasn’t Chen Fei. Chen Fei is already a Fourth-stage Mutant, so she wouldn’t have this problem. So, it had to be you. Plus, I heard you like to mess around, so there’s no mistake."

Lu Xiao rolled his eyes, Damn, is my reputation that bad?

"Fine, it’s me. But why is it like this?" Lu Xiao didn’t deny it anymore.

"It’s simple because you’re from Hua Country. People from Hua Country can’t accommodate superpowers; their organs naturally reject it."

Lu Xiao was dumbfounded, alright, so that was the reason.

It seems I can only absorb superpowers into my meridians.

It looks like I can’t accommodate them in my organs to produce Mutant Abilities like real Mutants.

"Feels like we people from Hua Country are being targeted," Lu Xiao sighed.

Cultivation doesn’t discriminate against race; foreigners can still practice until the Heavenly Man Realm.

Of course, not many foreigners engage in cultivation.

On one hand, most people don’t have access to the field of cultivation, and on the other hand, those who do have access generally don’t engage in cultivation.

With that time, slowly cultivating step by step, they rather focus more effort on Mutations.

"There’s nothing we can do, although I don’t know the reason, people from Hua Country indeed can’t accommodate superpowers."

"About this, I’ve also been researching, but so far, there hasn’t been any progress," Kathy shook her head; the issue of people from Hua Country not having superpowers is indeed peculiar.

So far, there isn’t any authoritative statement.

The prevalent view is that people from Hua Country are genetically locked.

But what this genetic lock is, how it locks, and who locks it, there are no explanations.

"Okay then," Lu Xiao shrugged; it seems he couldn’t get any guidance from Kathy after all.

I might as well honestly cultivate my Inner Qi.

As for incorporating superpowers into my meridians to enhance them quickly, I don’t want to mess with that anymore; it always feels problematic, kind of like taking over someone else’s nest.

"Speaking of which, can superpowers and Inner Qi be merged?" Lu Xiao suddenly asked out of the blue.

Kathy still shook her head: "No, Inner Qi exists within the meridians, and superpowers can’t enter the meridians, so how can they merge?"

Lu Xiao was slightly startled, superpowers can’t enter the meridians?

But I clearly succeeded.

"Is it proven that superpowers can’t be incorporated into the meridians?"

"Yes, I’ve conducted experiments; actually, not just me, many have tried. In this regard, your Seventeenth Bureau should have the most attempts, and currently, there are no successful cases." Kathy looked at Lu Xiao, this guy’s questions are weird.

"I see, I also tried to incorporate superpowers into my meridians recently, almost killed myself," Lu Xiao said with a chuckle.

Giving a plausible reason, dispelling Kathy’s suspicion.

This woman, although she’s socially anxious, is pretty perceptive.

"You better not try recklessly anymore; earlier, a Heavenly Man from your Seventeenth Bureau killed himself doing that," Kathy reminded Lu Xiao.

Superpowers and Inner Qi are two completely different energies; mixing them in the meridians can at best damage the meridians, or at worst cause them to explode.

Damage to the meridians doesn’t really affect Mutants, but for Heavenly Men, it’s extremely deadly.

Not only does it affect their combat ability, it could also lead to stagnation in their strength or even a regression in more severe cases.

"Alright, I know now," Lu Xiao nodded. It seems this thing I alone possess isn’t useful after all.

However, even though being unique doesn’t help much, incorporating superpowers into meridians seems to boost strength quickly but doesn’t look viable in the long run; it will cause problems.

"If someone really could incorporate superpowers into meridians, that would be amazing," Kathy suddenly exclaimed.

Lu Xiao was startled again, what, is there a twist?

"What’s so amazing about that? Aren’t they both just energies? Don’t they both occupy the capacity of the meridians? In the end, the total amount of energy remains unchanged," Lu Xiao retorted.

Kathy rolled her eyes at Lu Xiao: "You are so silly, meridians... can be treated as organs too!"

"Hosting superpowers in the organs is essentially refining the organs. As the organs are continually refined, they can accommodate more superpowers."

"So, refining the meridians with superpowers is the same. This way, the meridian expansion will continuously increase, and the amount of Inner Qi they can hold will keep growing."

"I recall, meridian expansion is very important for Heavenly Men, right? It determines a person’s limit."

"If superpowers could help in refining the meridians, then a person’s meridian expansion could reach an extremely frightening extent."

Lu Xiao’s hands and feet began to tremor slightly; Kathy’s words echoed in his mind like thundering drums.

The meridians... are also organs! How did I not think of that!
