Gray was shocked at the utter effectiveness of this base ice cultivation technique, and he had never seen anything like it!
The moment the Qi from the environment entered into his body, it was instantly converted into an inner energy of the ice element that was so pure that he simply couldn’t understand it.
After getting this out of the way, he finally decided to get a good look at his face, and he was weirded out to say the least.
He realized that his facial structure was a partial mix between that of a boy’s and girl’s.
Overall, he looked more like a boy than a girl, and his face would be considered handsome if he wasn’t so deathly thin and pale at the moment.
As for his bone structure, he was of average height, but he had small and frail bones that seemed like they could break at the first bit of pressure.
He did a few other tests and found that every single aspect of this body aside from its elemental affinity, Qi sense, and dantian condition were absolutely terrible. However, there were a few good things.
But the most shocking thing to him was his healing, which had increased hundreds of times in speed! His healing was so fast that if he were to cut his palm, it would stop bleeding almost right away and completely heal within an hour without even leaving a scar!
Overall, he was extremely weirded out by this body, because his body was as weak as it could be, his senses were about normal, his dantian was of normal strength, but his affinity towards ice was off the charts.
And on top of that, after delving into the secrets of this body, he was well aware that it had a bloodline.
He didn’t fully understand it since it was a jumbled mess of information in his mind, but the main power of this bloodline could be considered two things.
The first thing was that he had the ability to easily master elements of opposite natures and that were diametrically opposed to each other.
This alone was a shocking ability, because those who could master opposite elements were at most one in ten thousand geniuses, and they were a cut above the rest by their very nature, yet he was told that he could easily master opposites without any resistance?
He was a bit confused because of the inborn affinity towards ice, but that didn’t matter for the moment.

Anyway, moving on to the second effect, which was the one he was most excited about, it was the ability to… evolve.
If he came across something in nature that was superior to him in some way, he had the ability to steal that trait without majorly affecting his appearance and without taking the disadvantages.
To say the absolute least about it, it was a completely overpowered ability that trumped anything he could’ve hoped for previously.
On paper, it might not seem that good, but to him, he realized that it entailed the ability to steal traits of bloodlines! These were traits that were impossible to create by yourself or through a technique!
Imagine having eyes that could see through walls, skin that could resist a blade without help, bones stronger than diamond. As long as he came across something that naturally had one of these traits, it was possible for him to steal it and be remade by the bloodline with that trait.
And as if that wasn’t good enough, it wouldn’t even change his physical appearance that much! This part was vague, but at the very least, he was absolutely sure that he would still look human to about 95% of his original appearance.
To say the least, this was a very good ability to have and it would massively help him in the future.
And since it wasn't specified that it only worked on humans, he was curious to know if he could use this ability to steal things like exoskeletons and eyes from bugs, jaw strength from something like a bear or crocodile, and the flexibility of a ferret or something.
These were just a few of the ideas he had after realizing he had this ability, and this wasn't even including things like dragons and other mythical creatures.
Curiously, he decided to head outside and found a few bugs before bringing them back into his room.
The receptionist didn't even care since this seemed to be normal behavior for a ten year old and he had paid her so much that it truly didn't matter in the first place.
He actually instinctively knew how this evolution ability worked, and he put the bugs on a plate before slicing open his palm and allowing a massive amount of his blood to pour over the bugs, drowning them and soaking into their bodies.
After that, he waited for a while before pouring all the excess blood into the toilet and taking the bodies of the bugs out of it.
He then sensed the power in the bugs and allowed his palm to reabsorb the blood that had soaked into their bodies.
And after that, he fell to his knees, gritting his teeth as a massive wave of pain assaulted his mind.
Normally, he wouldn't have reacted much to this pain, but after having a total lack of senses for forty years, it was enough that he couldn't help but fall to his arms and knees and vomit onto the ground.
In fact, previously, when he had sliced his palms, each time it had caused him to shiver and go pale from the pain, yet now he had directly fallen to the ground and vomited.
His whole body was fiercely trembling, and a cold sweat was running down every surface of his body.
It felt like every part of his body was being ripped apart and put back together at the same time, as if it was burning and being frozen all at once in an endless cycle.
