Many days later.
At night, in the main laboratory of the research facility.
“Rustle, rustle, rustle…”
Richard sat in front of a long table, holding a quill, rapidly writing on a Papyrus Scroll: “The data collected from the above experiments yielded the following results:
Result one, the subjects in the experimental group, when not activating their Bloodline Seed power (hereafter referred to as ‘Blood Power’) and without the use of the ‘Spartan Warrior Potion’ (a diluted version of the ‘Spartan Heroic Potion’, hereafter referred to as the Diluted Potion), showed various bodily metrics, including digestion speed, basal metabolic rate, etc., within the range of adult males, identical to the control group subjects.
Result two, experimental group subjects, without activating Blood Power, but only using the Diluted Potion, showed bodily metrics soaring well beyond the range of adult males, surpassing that of the control group subjects.
Result three, the Diluted Potion requires a certain amount of time to take effect, with the overall trend rising and then decreasing, as seen in the specific curve on Appendix 14. Of note, the peak time of the potion’s effectiveness is slightly later than the peak time of the drug’s absorption. That is, the effectiveness of the Diluted Potion not only requires some time but also has a certain delay…”
“In that case,” Richard set down the quill and analyzed to himself, “the process of the drug’s action is not neuro-regulation. It’s very likely hormonal regulation.”
Neuro-regulation is carried out via neural reflexes, with virtually no delay, but it has a short duration. Hormonal regulation, or fluid regulation, on the other hand, involves the transport of chemical substances (hormones, histamines, etc.) produced by cells through bodily fluids to regulate bodily functions like metabolism. Although the effect is somewhat slow, it has a wide range and lasts for a long duration.

“However… if that’s the case, the difference between the Diluted Potion and stimulants isn’t significant. It’s like with stimulants such as Clotriphenylene in medications, which mainly work by inducing the secretion of certain hormones in the body for physiological regulation and to exert a certain effect.
In that sense,” Richard spoke up, “it’s no different from the initial speculation when I first encountered the Bloodline Seed on the island of ‘Lisben.’ Back then, it was guessed that the Bloodline Seed power was similar to the mechanism of stimulants. Now, the mechanism of the Diluted Potion also appears similar to stimulants. But then… how do we explain that the Diluted Potion can help activate the power of the Bloodline Seed? Also, there’s more…”
Richard picked up the quill again and resumed writing “rustle, rustle, rustle” on the Papyrus Scroll.
“Result four, under the dual effects of activating Blood Power and taking the Diluted Potion, the subjects in the experimental group achieved bodily metrics enhancement far surpassing that of normal individuals taking the Diluted Potion. That is, the effects of two unknown ‘hormones’ working together proved to be stronger than the effect of one ‘hormone’ alone, indicating a synergistic effect.
Furthermore, it is important to note that when both ‘hormones’ take effect, the response curve exhibits three peaks in succession. The first peak can be explained as the effect of Blood Power itself, and the second peak as the effect of the Diluted Potion.
However, after the peak effect of the Diluted Potion, there emerged a stronger peak, much greater than the previous ones. In fact, it is the existence of this third peak that makes the Diluted Potion all the more crucial for the experimental group subjects, the ones who possess Blood Power. For them, the enhancement derived from the Diluted Potion greatly exceeds that of ordinary individuals.”
“In that case…” Richard narrowed his eyes, “the existence of the third peak suggests that the Diluted Potion has a different effect on those with the Bloodline Seed compared to ordinary individuals.
”
If we say that the effect of a Diluted Potion on an ordinary person is 1, then for a Bloodline Seed it’s 1+A. The simple 1 can enhance some people’s physical attributes, but the A can lead to the third peak value, allowing already increased attributes to improve again, breaking through the human body’s limits. And this… this is what’s truly useful.
But why is it that only Bloodline Seeds, after using the potion, can achieve the A amplification, can experience this third peak value, while ordinary people cannot? Could it be because they lack the Bloodline Seed inside their bodies? Then what exactly is a Bloodline Seed?
Based on the knowledge researched from books over the past few days, perhaps the Bloodline Seed itself can be viewed as a kind of organizational structure, similar to the Magic Origin of a Wizard Apprentice. In that case…”
Richard’s gaze suddenly sharpened, thoughts flying in his mind, and after a long while he spoke aloud, “Could it be like this? The Bloodline Seed is an organ, a gland that secretes hormones, which does not exist in a normal person’s body, and only a minority of people can obtain through mutation.
In this way, it would also explain the issue of bloodline inheritance. Because mutations have a certain hereditary nature, if an ancestor experienced mutations, it is quite possible they could be passed down to the offspring, allowing the next generation a much higher likelihood of repeating this trait expression.
And this gland, this Bloodline Gland, would be capable of secreting two types of hormones—just as the human body’s adrenal glands can secrete both adrenal cortex hormones and adrenal medulla hormones.
The Bloodline Gland would normally secrete Ordinary Amplification Hormone, which can be regulated by a person’s consciousness. When needed for release, it would rapidly secrete and exert its amplifying effect. Moreover, the Bloodline Gland could very likely secrete another type of hormone, the Limit Amplification Hormone.
This Limit Amplification Hormone, compared to the Ordinary Amplification Hormone, can be said to be the difference between gold and scrap metal, much like how the third peak value far exceeds the first peak value, the effects of the Limit Amplification Hormone are countless times stronger and capable of breaking through limits. And this is exactly why the Bloodline Seed is powerful.
But even the Bloodline Seed itself cannot secrete this Limit Amplification Hormone at will, it’s dependent on luck and potential. However, if a Bloodline Seed could secrete this Limit Amplification Hormone multiple times, it could tremendously enhance their strength rapidly.
The Diluted Potion, or rather the original ‘Spartan Heroic Medicine’, happens to promote the secretion of this Limit Amplification Hormone by the Bloodline Gland.
In a sense, the ‘Spartan Warrior Potion’ has dual functions.
The first is to promote amplification of the human body, and the second is to stimulate the Bloodline Gland to secrete the Limit Amplification Hormone. If the user is just an ordinary person, with no Bloodline Gland present in their body, naturally the second function cannot be realized. But if the user is a Bloodline Seed, having a Bloodline Gland, then they could harness the secreted Limit Amplification Hormone to do many things.
All in all, to sum up, the interaction between the Bloodline Seed and the potion is not merely a general synergistic effect of hormones, it also has a feedback regulation mechanism. Like the hypothalamus in the human body, secreting thyrotropin-releasing hormone to the pituitary gland, stimulating the pituitary to secrete thyroid-stimulating hormone to the thyroid, and then prompting the thyroid to produce thyroid hormones.
This is a chain, a chain!
And the Limit Amplification Hormone Material produced in the final link of the chain is the most important, the most valuable.”
After finishing his words, Richard picked up the Quill and began to write fervently on the Papyrus Scroll. Moments later, he completed his writing, throwing the Quill down on the table with a “snap”, his gaze piercing as he turned to look to one side.
