Chapter 173: The Extremely High Limit of the Healing Fruit's Ability.
"To cure one at a time, we need at least five hundred people. After all, the stronger they are, the tougher their physique is. An ordinary person only needs a piece of health to be cured of a disease, but for you, the number will need to be increased many times." Li De continued to answer.

"Five hundred people, Dean Sid? Apart from humans and monsters, are others, such as animals, feasible?" Bangu continued to ask.

After all, monsters can't be found immediately when you want to, and as for personnel, Bang has the face to do so.

However, most people may not be willing to sacrifice their health if they don’t understand the situation, especially those who practice martial arts.

"Of course it's possible." Li De nodded with a smile.

In fact, not only animals, but also plants or any living thing can be used.

The awakened healing power can be extracted and treated from only two types of objects: living things and non-living things.

The health extracted from a living organism can only heal that organism, but health can also be extracted from non-living organisms and used to heal them.

However, unlike living organisms that can heal themselves after being extracted, non-living things will suffer irreversible damage once their health is extracted. The most common state is breakage and cracking.

That is, repairing one item at the cost of breaking another.

There is also a prerequisite here, that is, the materials of the two items must be of the same grade.

After all, it's unrealistic to expect that you can repair iron by extracting the health of a stone.

However, from another perspective, this method of extracting abilities is a disguised form of destructive power.

Theoretically speaking, as long as there is enough demonic energy, it is entirely possible to directly drain the health of the earth and achieve the goal of destroying the planet.

Therefore, the theoretical upper limit of healing ability is high enough, which is another important reason why Li De originally valued healing ability.

"That's good. I wonder if Dean Sid are interested in accompanying an old man like me to go hunting in the back mountains?" Bangu immediately made an invitation.

"Since Master Bangu has spoken, I naturally won't refuse. Let's just treat it as a walk." Li De agreed with a smile.

As for the second thing, Li De has not mentioned it yet, and Bangu has not asked.

After all, only Li De personally made Bangu feel his strength, so that he could continue the discussion later.

After the deal was made, except for Cha Lan, Xiaolan and Aoko who were left behind to guard the dojo, Reed and Claire followed Bang to the back mountain.

It’s just that the old man Bangu’s definition of the back mountain is a little different from Li De’s understanding.

After Li De saw the continuous mountains, he couldn't help but wonder if this old man regarded these mountains as his backyard.

Of course, Li De would definitely not ask such a question.

Instead, he followed Bangu through the woods and continued to go deeper.

About an hour later, a huge wild boar appeared in front of them.

It is almost the size of a small hill, but is in no way inferior to the land animals in the pirate world.

"Is this okay?" Bangu asked Li De, not paying any attention to the wild boar whose eyes had turned red and who was about to charge towards him with his hooves raised when he saw someone appear in front of him.

"Not only that, if there is another one that is similar, it will be more than enough to satisfy you, Master Bangu." Li De nodded and said.

"Is that so? Then let's find another one later." Bang nodded, and then planned to take a step forward and attack the wild boar that had already entered the savage charging mode.

But before Bangu could take a step, Li De's hand stopped him in front of his chest.

"Master Bangu, let us do it. After all, you will waste a lot of health if you take action." Li De said immediately.

"Is that so? Then I'll have to trouble Dean Sid." Bang was stunned for a moment when he heard that, then he smiled and replied.

"No trouble, it will be quick!" Li De responded with a smile.

After his voice fell, Claire, who had been silent, suddenly took a step forward and glared at the wild boar that was charging towards him.

A horrifying aura then erupted from Claire's body and instantly hit the wild boar that was about ten meters away from the group.

The next moment, the wild boar's two front hooves that were hit by this breath softened, and its big mouth with two huge fangs started foaming at the mouth. Its eyes turned white, and its head hit the ground in the next second. It was pushed all the way to Li De and others by its own speed.

"Wow, this is really unexpected!" For a moment, Bangu couldn't think of how to describe the shock in his heart.

After all, he didn't expect that Claire's methods were so different from what he had imagined, and it could even be said that they were completely beyond his expectations.

However, Bang saw through the true nature of Claire's method, which was the shock of will.

Use your own Qi as a medium, contain your will within it, and then release it to attack your opponent's spirit.

This way of using Qi and one's own will was definitely the first time Bang had encountered this.

"Master Bangu, how about this move?" Li De asked Bangu.

"It's a very novel tactic, and has good reference value, but it depends on the opponent. However, the girl's martial arts will is very domineering!" Bang said after a brief comment.

"For the strong, it's just a trick. But for those with weak martial arts will, it is an irresistible blow." Li De also nodded. After all, Bangu's evaluation was very pertinent.

In fact, Reed asked Claire to use the Conqueror's Haki just to test Bang's vision and see if he could see through what the Conqueror's Haki was.

"Side, people with weak martial arts will naturally have weak strength." Bangu couldn't help but look at Li De with confusion.

After all, in his opinion, there is no need to deliberately develop tactics like Conqueror's Haki against such weaklings.

“Master Bangu, modern technology is very advanced. In the past, martial artists relied on continuous hard training step by step to gain powerful strength. For such people, strength and state of mind are matched.

But with the development of science and technology, there will definitely be people in the future who are physically strong but whose minds are not sufficiently tempered. In fact, I am already researching related projects here. "Li De explained to Bangu.

Upon hearing this, Bangu looked at Li De in surprise, because he didn't expect Li De to give this explanation.

You have to know that traditional martial artists rely on hard training to gradually strengthen themselves and master combat skills. They have never thought of relying on science to strengthen their bodies.

In Bangu's opinion, this scientific method of improving physical fitness is simply a blasphemy to traditional martial arts and is a heretical way.

"Master Bang, the time span required to train a martial artist from scratch is too long. However, the time it takes to create a monster from scratch is terribly short. If we can't find a way to make up for the time difference between the two, when the number of monster disasters increases, the association may face a situation that it cannot cope with.

I believe you also know that apart from S-class and A-class heroes, the individual strength of B-class and C-class heroes is uneven and even quite worrying. Just a Tiger-class monster, there are very few people in these two levels who can deal with it alone.

Although the association's classification of monsters and heroes is that S-class heroes deal with Dragon-level monsters and Demon-level monsters, and A-class heroes deal with Demon-level monsters and Tiger-level monsters, in reality, there are only a handful of current S-class heroes who can fight against Dragon-level monsters.

Among the A-class heroes, the ones who can fight against the demon-class monsters are probably only the top three or four. And that’s it. Even the S-class and A-class are like this, so the B-class and C-class are even worse.”

After hearing Li De's concerns, Bangu was surprised again.

After all, Bangu was not very clear about what Li De said.

Although he is indeed an S-class hero, he has been engaged in heroic activities in the past year, eliminating monster disasters and occasionally taking care of a few bounty criminals he encounters.

But other than that, Bang knew very little about the general strength of professional heroes.

After all, he doesn't have that much energy to focus on these things. You know, before Garou breaks through the door and leaves, he still has to take care of the dojo and the Martial Arts Association.

"This research will definitely be successful, right? There will be many people like this in the future?" After pondering for a moment, Bangu asked Li De.

"My plan is that once the research project is successful, I will genetically modify all heroes above level C, so that they can have the strength of tiger-level monsters just by their physical strength." Li De spoke of his plan slowly.

"So you want me to be your instructor in training you in combat skills?" Bangu asked immediately?
"How can that be possible? It would be too disrespectful to the Grandmaster to let you serve as the instructor of a group of professional hero warriors. In fact, this is just a topic brought up by a trick, nothing more." Li De smiled and shook his head.

Although Li De said this, Bangu did not take it lightly at all.

"Can I fight for this opportunity for my disciples? By the way, Sid, I haven't asked you yet, are there any side effects of this genetic modification?" Bang said immediately.

After hearing Bangu's words, Li De looked at Bangu with a little surprise.

In fact, what he said before was really just to refute old man Bang's words that Conqueror's Haki was of little use.

However, he didn't expect that because of a little leaked information, Bang would even have to fight for benefits for his own disciples.

"This type of transformation uses excellent animal genes to replace the inferior genes in the human body. The best result we are currently looking forward to is to improve the transformed physique as much as possible while maintaining the appearance.

Before the transformation is actually completed, we cannot confirm whether there are any unexpected side effects. However, one thing that is certain is that the genes of the transformed person, apart from their appearance, will definitely be very different from those of ordinary people.

Apart from other unforeseen circumstances, what can be foreseen is the possibility of reproductive isolation. That is to say, it is very likely that a modified person will not be able to reproduce when marrying an ordinary human, and it is also impossible to determine whether the modified person can succeed with each other.

In fact, the people in the association, and the people behind them, hope that I can achieve the goal of extending life through research rather than improving the personal physique of professional heroes. This is why they strongly support me. "

After hearing what Li De said, Bangu couldn't help but widen his eyes. After all, he didn't know the concept of prolonging life.

It's not his fault. You have to know that the video the association showed to the S-class heroes was edited, and only the clips of a few women drawing health for treatment were retained.

"Sid, can you really extend your life?" Bang asked in a tentative tone.

"I can't give you an answer for now. After all, if you want to extend your lifespan, you must first find the immortality species, then extract the immortality gene, and then solve the problem of fusion and rejection. I can't be sure how much time it will take.

This is the same thing no matter who asks me. But when Master Bangu asks me, I can say something different and give another answer. "Li De said with a smile.

"Is it really possible to live forever?" Bangu looked at Li De in surprise.

"No, it's not immortality, but rejuvenation!" Li De shook his head and said.

"Rejuvenation! So that's how it is. I was wondering why. I didn't expect that someone could really regain youth." After being extremely shocked, Bang quickly said with relief.

After all, with his vision, how could he not see that the look in Li De's eyes was in stark contrast to his youthful appearance, at least in Bang's opinion.

It is actually a bit of a stretch to explain it by saying that he is young but mature. After all, Bangu can still clearly see through his experienced eyes.

But if you explain it using rejuvenation, then there wouldn't be any sense of incongruity at all, so Bang said that.

"Dean Sid, can you help me with the treatment first?" Before Li De spoke again, Bangu spoke first.

"Of course!" After saying that, Li De put his hand on the wild boar.

The next second, a dandelion emitting soft light grew out of the wild boar, and then continued to grow until a certain moment when the wild boar's life breath disappeared and it could no longer grow.

After the roots broke off and disappeared, the dandelion floated above Li De's palm, and then was pushed by him towards Bangu's old waist.

As the dandelion merged into Bang's body, Bang's eyes suddenly widened.

Because the waist pain that had accompanied him for a long time had completely disappeared at this moment, he straightened up immediately after being bent over. An unprecedented sense of relief made him feel extremely comfortable.

At this moment, Bangu couldn't help but sigh that this treatment method beyond common sense was indeed magical.

It is precisely because Li De has such magical means that Bang Gu does not doubt what Li De said about rejuvenation.

But Bangu also knew that if he wanted to regain his youth, he would have to pay a price.

Bang Gu would not mention this matter to Li De until he made up his mind.

Soon, the three found another huge creature, but this time it was not a wild boar, but a bear.

After extracting the bear's health, Bang's body was completely restored.

"Dean Sid, I wonder what the second thing you came to see me about?" Bangu took the initiative to ask at this moment.
