Blood Assimilation

Immediately after consuming the solidified blood, it melted in his mouth and the usual sensation washed over him, however this time, Randy did not resist the urge of wanting to swallow the blood in his mouth. 

Strangely enough, this blood tasted very unique when Randy swallowed it.

'Is this perhaps because it was rich in a type of mental energy or something else?'

He briefly thought of this possibility but soon dismissed the thought and looked in front of himself, specifically on the screen in front of his eyes.

A moment later, notifications started popping up on the holographic screen in front of his eyes. 

Lines of texts were appearing on the screen one after another.

⟪[[You have consumed the purified blood essence of an awakened human]]⟫

⟪[[Due to the response given by the host, currently activating 'Blood Fusion' skill]]⟫

⟪[[Blood Fusion Skill Activated]]⟫

⟪[[Blood Fusion Commencing…]]⟫

⟪[[You have fully fused with the blood essence]]⟫

⟪[[Currently determining what ability to receive…]]⟫

⟪[[Notice: Due to the effects of your unique bloodline, you are given three choices between which ability to acquire, the possible abilities are as follows:]]⟫

⟪[[All Supernatural Flaw Perception: This mental ability allows you to see the flaws or shortcomings of all supernatural abilities and techniques in existence through your psionic field. Through this perception, you can always counter any supernatural ability or technique with the right amount of force or by hitting the precise detected flaw]]⟫

⟪[[All Law Seeker: This mental ability allows you see the rules of all things and all beings thus determining their flaw through your psionic field. However, at the early stages of this ability you can only perceive the minor weaknesses of all things and all beings]]⟫

⟪[[Absolute Psychokinesis: The mental ability to bend all objects around you with only your psionic energy. However when this mental ability is improved further, you can even affect living beings with this ability by ignoring all barriers and physical defenses]]⟫

⟪[[Please think carefully before you make your choice]]⟫

Seeing these notifications, Randy quickly read through them and was immediately delighted with these rows of abilities, however he was soon caught in a headache inducing dilemma shortly after. 

He does not want to give up on any of these abilities!

In fact, he wanted to keep them all if possible and with that in mind, he acted quickly and asked the system.

'System, is possible to acquire all these abilities and not just pick one of them?' Randy carefully asked.

[[Negative, the host can only pick one of these abilities otherwise, the laws of this world would not allow such an occurrence as you will become too strong in a short time through acquiring these abilities. Furthermore, you can only acquire one mental ability at every realm of mental cultivation, thus it is impossible to do so at your current mental cultivation realm that hasn't even broken through the first realm of mental cultivation. Thus, in order for the host to obtain this mental ability, the system will have to spend some of your Knowledge Points to increase your psionic energy level slightly to meet the requirement]]

Reading through this, Randy sighed dejectedly without saying anything to that.

However, the moment, he immediately fell into thought and then contemplated which ability he should be kept and which ones he should discard.

The first mental ability: All Supernatural Flaw Perception. 

'Just from the description alone, one could see how effective this mental ability would be when used during a combat against an enemy. You can basically tell the weakness or flaw of their profound techniques or supernatural abilities through your psionic field.' 

'Doesn't that mean that the opponent would lose even before the fight begins if one used this ability during a fight?' 

Randy thought in wonder and yearning towards wanting this ability for himself.

And also, he remembers that this ability was similar to Jiang Chen's ability to see through the flaws of others and was even predicted to have the capability to see through the weaknesses of the abilities of monsters or beasts. 

Randy really wanted to have this ability; however this was only one of the abilities he could choose from and with that thought in mind, he looked down to the next line of texts. 

The second mental ability: All Law Seeker.

'Well, this mental ability seemed to be the same as the first mental ability, except that it said 'all things' and 'all beings' what does that mean? Does it mean I can basically tell everyone's weaknesses just by using this ability? If that is the case, then this is broken. However it also said that at the early stage of this ability, it will only tell the weakness of all things and all beings. I wonder which is better? All supernatural abilities and all profound techniques? All things and all beings?'

'…Wait! All things and all beings… Doesn't that mean… hehehe… This mental ability really is broken if it is what I think it means. In any case, let's put this aside for now and look at the last ability.' Randy silently thought with excitement.

The third mental ability: Absolute Psychokinesis.

'Fuck! Another broken ability! This mental ability is just an enhanced version of the real psychok— no, that's not right, it is more accurate to say that this is the true psychokinesis and not the ordinary ones awakened by other people. But still, does that mean those people can evolve their psychokinesis ability to this level if they try hard enough? I mean, who wouldn't want the ability to ignore defenses and physically attack an ability user who might let their guard down due to having some expensive armors on? Tsk, tsk, tsk… I definitely would want this ability.' 

After reading though the mental abilities once again and analyzing them, Randy finally made his choice or maybe not.

'I hope I am making the right decision here… after all, the descriptions were somewhat vague and doesn't really tell me how the mental ability would be like when used, and even the terminologies like supernatural, rules, laws, and absolute are just vague even though they sound awesome just from hearing or reading them.' Randy silently thought in uncertainty before making his reluctant final decision. 

After hesitating for a bit, he finally opened his mouth and stated his choice.

'System, please give me the second mental ability, all flaw— I mean, All Law Seeker.' He said in reluctance.

'Damn it, I really wanted them all and see how they work but now I will never get to know before losing them forever.' Randy painfully thought while gritting his teeth in unwillingness. 

However, the system did not really care what he was feeling as it simply displayed new lines of texts in his vision.
