Although the Healing Skills of Professionals of the three main Attributes manifested in slightly different ways, their essence was the same. They all greatly stimulated a target's latent life potential with external Energy, thereby achieving rapid healing and eliminating illness.
For a creature like a Troll, which possessed an innately strong regenerative ability, the intense stimulation of Light Attribute Healing Skills could indeed restore its bones.
However, this was not the case for ordinary creatures like humans, who had average constitutions. The bones of a Professional were notoriously difficult to regenerate, and this, coupled with a human's inherently ordinary recovery ability, meant that not even stimulating their life potential with Healing Skills could achieve bone regeneration.
This was the fundamental reason why the previous bone regeneration project of the Light Attribute Professional Association had failed.
But now, what Fang Zhou needed to do was draw inspiration from the Trolls' extraordinary regenerative abilities, collect data, and master the underlying patterns. Then, he would see if he could simulate that regenerative ability using a Life Crystal.
According to the calculations made by Fang Zhou and Su Xinyan, this line of thinking was logically feasible.
However, completing such a deduction required extremely strong Talent and inspiration.
At least Instructor Su Xinyan, a Golden Tier Undead Mage, claimed that she absolutely could not achieve it.
But Fang Zhou was confident. With his unprecedented and unparalleled Overturning Talent, coupled with a little help from the attribute panel, it was still possible to achieve this grand goal.
Sure enough, as Fang Zhou conducted repeated trauma and recovery experiments on the Troll, the attribute panel constantly provided notifications.
"Collecting Skill Materials. Can be used for deducing Unknown Skills."
With these notifications, Fang Zhou felt even more confident.
Fang Zhou continuously tested his hypotheses on this rare, Living Troll for two full hours.
The life force of the young Troll had originally been like a roaring river. Now, under the continuous stimulation of the Light Attribute Energy, it was gradually drying up, like earth baked by the unforgiving sun on a summer afternoon.
Its every breath grew heavy, and its once-fierce eyes now betrayed only fatigue and helplessness.
Instructor Su Xinyan, who had been observing for a long time, couldn't help but stop Fang Zhou's increasingly skilled movements.
"Fang Zhou, stop for now," she said. "If you continue like this, you'll end up killing this Troll today. An Apprentice-Stage living young Troll isn't so easy to find. Don't drain the well dry. You need to conduct your experiments sustainably."
Only then did Fang Zhou snap out of the trance-like state he had entered during the surgical experiments.
He glanced at the Troll on the surgical table, which was now deathly pale from constantly being forced to regenerate, and realized what was wrong.
He sheepishly put down his scalpel and said to Instructor Su Xinyan and Instructor Huang Qiuyue, "Thank you for the reminder, Instructor Xinyan! And thank you, Instructor Qiuyue, for your continuous Casting to help me complete the experiment. That's all for today; let's wrap it up for now."
Nearby, Shen Ziwei, who had been silently assisting Fang Zhou, couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.
She asked expectantly, "Fang Zhou, did you discover anything?"
Fang Zhou looked at his attribute panel.
Although some Skill Materials had accumulated, he didn't have a clear direction yet.
It looks like I'll need to collect a lot more experimental data.
Therefore, Fang Zhou didn't make any grand claims.
He shook his head slightly. As he instructed the two Skeletons to move the near-death Troll from the surgical table into an iron cage, he replied, "I have a few ideas, but nothing systematic yet. I'll need to conduct many more experiments like this."
The young Troll, which had felt a wave of relief upon being placed in the safe iron cage, suddenly shuddered as if it understood Fang Zhou's words.
Two streams of clear tears slowly rolled down its ferocious face.
Fang Zhou glanced at the suffering young Troll, then looked at Instructor Su Xinyan. "Instructor Xinyan," he said, "if possible, could the military academy please provide our project team with a few more living young Trolls? This single one really can't withstand my torment. Also, in my plan, Life Crystals are an indispensable resource."
Instructor Su Xinyan nodded slightly, as she naturally understood this point.
Just then, Instructor Huang Qiuyue also asked, "Fang Zhou, besides Trolls, do you have any other needs? No matter the creature, as long as it can advance your research, we will do our best to fulfill your request."
Fang Zhou thought for a moment before saying, "I also need some other Apprentice-Stage Demons, such as Little Inferior Demons, Demon Children, Kobolds, goblins, and the like. Their physical regeneration isn't as exaggerated as a Troll's; it's closer to that of a human. They would serve as a good control group to compare with the Troll."
After hearing this, Instructor Huang Qiuyue nodded. She immediately took out a delicate notebook and precisely recorded each of Fang Zhou's requests. "Fang Zhou, don't worry," she said. "Trolls might be hard to find, but there's no shortage of other Low-Tier Demons. Just focus on conducting your experiments according to your ideas. You can leave the preparation of materials to us."
Fang Zhou nodded gratefully to both instructors. With a serious expression, he said, "Thank you, Instructor Xinyan, Instructor Qiuyue. I'll be counting on you for the experimental materials."
After that, the group chatted for a few more moments.
