The component crystals were all there. But Lin Mu could tell something was different. His eyes narrowed as he saw that the black crystal had changed.
Its size was smaller.
Lin Mu's breath caught slightly as he compared it to the original.
'A tenth smaller.'
It was undeniable.
The Bloodline Shackle…
Had been reduced.
For a brief moment, Lin Mu felt a surge of emotion.
Excitement mixed with relief.
"It works," he said.
The first success.
The first proof that his method was viable.
He did not stop there.
He immediately began the next iteration and this time, his control was sharper. His understanding was deeper thus the process moved faster.
Another week passed before the next result came.
Lin Mu repeated the unraveling.
The crystals formed.
One.
Two.
Three.
He froze.
There was no fourth.
The black crystal…
Was gone.
Lin Mu stared at the result, his mind momentarily blank.
Then realization struck.
He had done it.
