In a flash of light, Wang Chong's consciousness entered another world. A resplendent 'gem' appeared in Wang Chong's mind, and at the same time, many streams of information flowed through his mind.
"Let's first look at Blood Swap!"
With a thought, Wang Chong quickly found the Stone of Destiny's Blood Swap ability. The first time Wang Chong had discovered Blood Swap, this ability had still been sealed, but as Wang Chong's total Destiny Points surpassed one hundred, this ability had been unsealed.
【Blood Swap (Elementary): Cleanse a martial artist's blood once, altering their talent and bloodline. It allows those who are naturally weak and unable to cultivate martial arts to gain the ability to do so. Effective for the majority of those who are unable to cultivate martial arts, ineffective for a small portion.】
【Exchange Points: 30.】
… …
It's only five points higher than Panther Bone's ability.
Wang Chong thought to himself.
Blood Swap was on the same level as Panther Bone, and the two appeared on the same level. Blood Swap was only a little higher than Panther Bone.
However, Wang Chong was well aware that the most powerful aspect of this ability was not its ability to cleanse a martial artist's blood, but the fact that it could easily overlook 'altering a martial artist's talent'.
This was a hidden ability, and it was probably the reason why Blood Swap was five points higher than Panther Bone's. Moreover, this ability did not require any medicinal pills, but was directly used on the target.
No other method could compare to it.
I wonder if it will be effective on the Fifth Prince.
Wang Chong said to himself, not feeling very confident.
The information provided by the Stone of Destiny clearly stated that this ability was not omnipotent. It could be effective on the vast majority of martial artists, but not everyone.
I hope that it will succeed!
As this thought flashed through his mind, Wang Chong immediately exchanged for this ability. Rumble! The Stone of Destiny suddenly trembled, and a scorching flood of energy gushed out of his mind, flowing through Wang Chong's arm and into Fifth Prince Li Heng's body.
"Buzz!"
Li Heng had been indifferent at the start, but when this tyrannical and scorching energy surged into his body, Li Heng grimaced and immediately focused his mind. Following Wang Chong's instructions, he began to channel this energy into his body.
The 'blood exchange' was far more tyrannical than Wang Chong had imagined. Wherever the energy passed, even Wang Chong's veins bulged. He felt as if his skin was about to explode.
"Ah!"
Li Heng's entire body trembled. His senses were even sharper than Wang Chong's. When that energy entered his body, Li Heng felt like his body had been set ablaze.
Wherever that ball of energy passed, he felt as if all the blood in his body was boiling, burning, and then evaporating, as if countless needles were pricking him.
Because of his frail body, he had gone through all kinds of treatments, taken all kinds of pills, and experienced all kinds of pain, but none of them could compare to what he was experiencing now.
His entire body felt like it was being torn apart piece by piece.
Cold sweat began to seep out of Li Heng's forehead, and more and more of it began to pour out.
The Stone of Destiny's energy continued to flow through Wang Chong's body and into Li Heng. Weng! A moment later, the final sliver of energy from the Stone of Destiny finally flowed into Li Heng's body, and Wang Chong's body finally loosened. Then, he stood up.
"It's all up to him now."
Wang Chong looked at the seated Li Heng as he thought.
He had already accomplished his task, but Li Heng's was far from done. It was impossible for a person to undergo a complete blood exchange within a short period of time.
Not to mention, the Stone of Destiny had the ability to alter a person's talent.
It would take at least an hour for the energy that had flowed into Li Heng's body to complete the transformation.
Wang Chong didn't dare to stray too far away. He stood by Li Heng's side, watching over the latter anxiously.
This plan wasn't just about a single prince but the future of the Tang dynasty and the Central Plains.
For a very long time, other than Zhang Munian's Hybrid Rice Project, this was the most important matter to Wang Chong.
Reshaping a future Sage Monarch, making him powerful, courageous, and daring. It would rid him of the weakness in his personality and turn him into a sage monarch capable of leading the Tang dynasty toward a bright future!
To Wang Chong, this was something he didn't even dare to dream of in the past.
The stroke of fate had suddenly given Wang Chong an unimaginable opportunity. Even Li Heng himself had no idea why Wang Chong was doing this.
Time slowly passed. Li Heng gritted his teeth tightly, and his body trembled more and more intensely. His clothes were already completely drenched. Even a spectator like Wang Chong could sense the immense pain he was in, and the pain was only growing more and more intense by the moment.
Tap tap. A series of anxious and uneasy footsteps sounded from outside. It was Li Jingzhong's voice.
This future scheming minister, traitorous official, and eunuch was also enduring immense pain. Every time he discovered a new treatment method, Li Jingzhong's heart would be filled with anticipation.
Power, dreams, ambitions...
Regardless of what Li Jingzhong would become in the future, at the very least, at this moment, he was wholeheartedly considering for Li Heng.
"Wang gongzi, how is it?"
Li Jingzhong's footsteps suddenly stopped at the door, and a pair of anxious eyes could be vaguely seen through the door.
"Hmph, didn't I tell you to wait outside?"
Wang Chong replied coldly, paying no heed to Li Heng at all.
With an embarrassed expression, Li Jingzhong began pacing outside once more.
— — Even though this was the first time they met, Li Jingzhong had already begun to feel a little fearful of this Wang Clan gongzi.
The room was silent.
After an unknown period of time, Wang Chong felt that Li Heng's body was no longer trembling as intensely as before.
"The effects of the Stone of Destiny are fading."
Wang Chong nodded in realization.
The fading of the Stone of Destiny meant that Li Heng's modification was nearing completion.
"Hu!"
Roughly a tea's time later, Li Heng suddenly opened his eyes and exhaled deeply.
"How is it?"
The moment the door opened, Li Jingzhong barged in and stared at Li Heng with a look of yearning. This fellow had been peeping outside the door all this time.
Wang Chong fiercely glared at him, but he did not argue with him.
"Your Highness, how are you feeling?"
Wang Chong asked concernedly. His current nervousness was no less than Li Jingzhong's, or rather, he was even more nervous than Li Jingzhong.
At this moment, the room was so quiet that one could hear a pin drop.
The gazes of the duo fell on Li Heng.
Li Heng didn't speak. Instead, he suddenly closed his eyes, as if sensing the state of his body.
"It feels like... nothing has changed!"
Li Xiang opened his eyes with a puzzled look.
"What?!"
Li Jingzhong found it hard to conceal the disappointment in his eyes. "Is it still useless?"
His ambition and desires had risen and fallen with this treatment time and time again, brimming with hope, only to vanish into thin air time and time again.
At this moment, Li Jingzhong felt even worse than Li Heng.
Wang Chong said nothing, but the look in his eyes was more than enough to explain the situation. This "blood exchange" cost him 30 Fate Points, which was not a small amount.
Hearing Li Heng's words, Wang Chong remained calm on the surface, but inwardly, he was quite dejected.
In this operation, he was the one who had been the most important.
"Did not even the blood exchange work?"
Wang Chong found it hard to conceal his disappointment.
The blood exchange plan had been an ideal outcome in Wang Chong's heart. If it could change Li Heng's condition, that would be for the best. But he hadn't expected it to fail in the end. There wasn't even the slightest hope.
【Congratulations to user for participating in the War of the Princes, participating in the Future True Dragon Plan, and changing the fate of Fifth Prince Li Heng. You have been awarded 45 Fate Points!】
Weng!
Just when Wang Chong was filled with disappointment, a voice suddenly resounded in his mind. Upon hearing this voice, Wang Chong's heart was suddenly filled with joy, and his gloomy eyes suddenly lit up.
"That's not right. Try again and feel it."
Wang Chong suddenly grabbed Fifth Prince Li Heng's arm, a look of ecstasy on his face.
"What's wrong?"
Li Heng and Li Jingzhong both had strange looks on their faces.
Li Heng had long ago become accustomed to failure, and Li Jingzhong had long ago accepted reality. On the other hand, Wang Chong's face was flushed, and his mind was in high spirits. There was no way that he was feeling this sort of joy.
"Try again, Your Highness, try again."
Wang Chong said.
He was extremely familiar with the abilities of the Stone of Destiny. If Li Heng had failed, there would have been no congratulatory voice.
Since a reward had appeared in his mind, it had definitely been effective.
But as for what exactly had happened, Wang Chong wasn't very clear.
"No, there hasn't been any change. Young Master Wang, what's wrong?"
A few moments later, Li Heng opened his eyes, a look of confusion on his face.
Wang Chong said nothing, only examined Li Heng. Wang Chong knew that something had definitely changed, just that he didn't know.
"No, it's not that there hasn't been any change. Your Highness, look at your face! "
Wang Chong suddenly said as he stared at Li Heng's face.
Li Heng's face had always been weak, pale, and abnormally pale. But now, a hint of color had returned to his face, and he didn't look much different from a normal person.
"It's true!!"
An ecstatic voice rang out. Li Jingzhong had also noticed at Wang Chong's reminder. He had spent a lot of time with Prince Li Heng, so he had a deep understanding of his condition.
Li Heng's complexion truly was much better.
Qi was produced from within, so something had definitely happened to Li Heng's body.
"Your Highness, try again. There must have been some change. "
Li Jingzhong said with a hopeful expression.
A copper mirror was quickly delivered to Li Heng. This time, Li Heng also noticed it. But to his confusion, he truly didn't feel any change.
"I know!"
