Reality
"Well, that's a difficult question to answer."
Hao Xuan let out a deep breath and continued walking down the hallway.
"Why, is it difficult? No more bullshit, give me as straight an answer as you can."
"Alright. To put it simply, the Lycan bloodline is extremely reactive to outside agents. This makes almost every Lycan have different abilities. No two Lycans are the same other than in one aspect."
"And that is?"
"Physical attunement. When the bloodline is activated, there will be physical changes to some degree. From what I can deduce, some are as minor as growing some extra body hair while others include partial or complete beast transformation. The Lycan master met, he was able to completely transform his right hand into that of a beast. It also gave him increased physical strength, agility etc."
"So it's controlled at will? That's not bad," Hao Xuan nodded.
