Chapter 1238: Chapter 573: Yuan Shijie’s Shock and Rage
"Bang!"
Cangqiong Mountain, Guangfu Military Base underground chamber.
"Huff—Huff—"
Heavy breathing sounded, as scarlet eyes flickered in the dark.
With a muffled boom, the thick stone gate of the mountain wall was instantly dented in.
A beast claw covered with hair like steel needles suddenly reached out.
Under the light, the beast claw’s hair quickly retracted at a speed visible to the naked eye, and the sharp claws regressed.
It finally transformed into a withered hand.
"Three minutes!"
"It held for a full three minutes this time, and there were no signs of flesh collapse. It seems the gene recombination method for the arm this time was correct!"
Yuan Shijie’s hoarse voice echoed from the chamber. Although hoarse, it carried uncontrollable joy.
"After the gene recombination just now, my main attribute has surely broken through 100 points."
"Indeed, by revealing part of the Genetic Map, I can break through the middle tier of the Genetic Species, surpassing the 100-point limit."
"Hahaha, good, very good. Next, as long as I can completely reorganize the genes of the entire arm, with my current superpower energy, I can maintain the transformation for more than ten minutes!"
"By that time, both Feng Jiangong and Zhang Yujiang will be defeated by me!"
"I will eventually reclaim Cloud Mist Island!"
In the darkness, Yuan Shijie let out a low growl.
A moment later, suddenly a ringing sound came from outside.
Yuan Shijie, bare-chested, walked out of the chamber.
His shirt had long been torn and destroyed during the transformation inside the chamber.
At this moment, Yuan Shijie, clearly in his fifties, showed no signs of aging.
His muscles were bulging, his skin taut, and his pectorals and abdominals were very pronounced.
Although there were fine lines on his face, his Qi and Blood were extremely vigorous.
Who could have thought that before the great flood, Yuan Shijie suffered from multiple ailments like high blood pressure, high cholesterol, and diabetes?
"Although superpowers can’t make me immortal, at least they allow my body to return to its peak state."
"I will no longer be tormented by illness, no longer watch my once iron-clad body become old and withered day by day."
Yuan Shijie smiled: "At the end of this evolution, maybe there’s a secret to unraveling immortality."
"To evolve, what’s the issue with sacrificing some insignificant lives?"
"Zhang Yujiang, Feng Jiangong, I’ll prove that your indecision is a mistake!"
He casually grabbed the clothes he had prepared, put them on, and walked briskly outside.
Upon reaching outside the chamber, he saw a guard quickly approaching with a grave expression.
Seeing this, Yuan Shijie frowned: "What’s the matter?"
"Chief, something happened. Our forces sent to attack Yangshan have been completely annihilated!"
"What!"
Yuan Shijie’s face suddenly changed, glaring fiercely at the guard, shouted, "Say that again!"
The guard broke into a cold sweat and stuttered, "Ch...chief..."
Yuan Shijie grabbed him and demanded, "Where’s Ding Huaiyi?"
"Don’t tell me, he’s dead too!"
The guard hurriedly said, "No, Colonel Ding isn’t dead, but he’s heavily injured. He’s currently admitted in the medical department for treatment, Dr. An has personally checked on him."
"He said if it weren’t for Colonel Ding wearing the AN-3 Generation Defense Golden Armor, he might have been killed."
"It’s thanks to the WM-1 Generation Healing Potion that he managed to survive."
Upon hearing this, Yuan Shijie’s face darkened and said, "With Ding Huaiyi’s main attribute and the AN-3 Generation Defense Golden Armor, his Defense Ability should reach at least 100 attribute points!"
"Who could beat him to such a state? Does Yangshan have such experts?"
The guard quickly said, "Colonel Ding wants to see you; he has urgent information."
Hearing this, Yuan Shijie immediately said, "Take me there quickly."
"Yes!"
The guard hurriedly led the way to the high-grade ward of the medical department.
At that moment, the outside was heavily guarded.
Upon seeing Yuan Shijie, the soldiers saluted and greeted him.
Yuan Shijie had no mind to acknowledge them, perfunctorily returned a salute, and quickly entered the ward.
Once inside, he saw Dr. An in a lab coat, standing and checking the computer.
Seeing Yuan Shijie enter, Dr. An quickly got up and said, "Chief Yuan, you’re here."
Yuan Shijie looked at the comatose Ding Huaiyi on the bed and asked, "What’s the situation? Where is he injured?"
Dr. An lifted Ding Huaiyi’s chest clothing and said, "The situation is very serious, look here."
"His thoracic vertebra is fractured into pieces."
"Almost all ribs are broken."
"Several bones pierced into his lungs."
"If he hadn’t used the WM-1 Generation Recovery Potion, he probably wouldn’t have made it back."
Yuan Shijie looked over and saw Ding Huaiyi’s chest bone sunken, a mass of blue and purple.
The exterior clearly showed signs of bone fracture and distortion.
Dr. An continued, "I just performed thoracic surgery on him, removed the bone fragments, righted the bones, and then administered a shot of WM-1 Generation Recovery Potion."
"Whether he can pull through depends on his own willpower."
Yuan Shijie furrowed his brows, asking, "Did he say anything?"
"Not yet, he only mentioned that the battle at Yangshan was a failure, a total defeat, and both submarines and personnel were lost."
Yuan Shijie’s face turned gloomy, suddenly asked, "Where’s his AN-3 Generation Defense Golden Armor?"
Dr. An seemed to anticipate this question. He immediately retrieved a severely damaged piece of golden armor from the cabinet in the ward.
The golden armor was like a bulletproof vest, but it was golden.
Both the front and back were made from the bones of some kind of mutant beast, engraved with numerous golden runes, and embedded with a large number of metal attribute superpower stones.
However, at this moment, those superpower stones were already dim, seemingly depleted of energy, with numerous cracks appearing.
And the golden armor chest plate made from the mutant beast bones had been pierced through, revealing a large hole.
Looking at that fist-sized hole, Yuan Shijie seemed to sense the terrifying force of the punch’s owner!
He couldn’t help but take a deep breath and asked, "Dr. An, in your opinion, what kind of power would it take to break this AN-3 generation golden armor?"
Dr. An’s expression was grave, and he said, "In theory, the AN-3 generation golden armor is made from the bones of a gold attribute mutant beast."
"Its defense power itself increases as the main attribute of the gold attribute mutant beast increases."
"The defensive golden armor on Commander Ding is a special custom order from the weapon factory, made from the bones of a defense-type gold attribute mutant beast with a main attribute of 98 points."
"This means, to break this defensive golden armor, the attack power must be at least over 98 points!"
"But we also have to consider Commander Ding’s own spirit barrier defense measures, as well as the partial force he might have dodged in advance."
"Overall, to break this defensive golden armor and injure Commander Ding to this extent, the level of attack power would have to be at least 120 points!"
"Hiss!"
Even though Yuan Shijie had somewhat anticipated it, hearing about the terrifying attack power of 120 points still made him intake a sharp breath.
Yangshan has such a terrifying expert?
Who could it be?
The Space King, Li Qinghua?
No, impossible!
He had personally seen that Li Qinghua, and there was no way he possessed such strength.
The Ice King, Zhao Kai?
Even more impossible, that guy is not even as strong as Li Qinghua.
Who could it be?
Suddenly, a name flashed across his mind!
"Liang Yuan?!"
This name, he had heard more than once.
This person is the Master of Yang Mountain, and had disappeared a month and a half ago.
Later, Ding Huaiyi mentioned this person when he returned from the dark attribute floating island.
At that time, it even caught his attention.
Yet when he sent people to probe at Yang Mountain, he learned that this person never escaped from that dark attribute floating island.
He assumed the person might already be dead.
Indeed, a month and a half had passed, and there was no news about this person.
Until this time, just before Ding Huaiyi and others set out, it seemed like they got word that this person had returned.
But in this month and a half, could this person’s power have increased to such an extraordinary level while trapped on the dark attribute floating island?
Yuan Shijie thought it impossible!
Ding Huaiyi had already reported the situation on that dark attribute floating island to him.
There was a terrifying dark attribute mutant beast there, with a main attribute of up to 100 points.
Moreover, apart from the dark attribute, the other types of superpower energy were scarce there.
How could someone surnamed Liang increase his strength in such a place?
Unless—
Suddenly, he thought of a possibility!
Yuan Shijie’s expression instantly turned grim.
"Could he have refined the heart core and brain core of the floating island?"
Yuan Shijie knew very well that once a floating island’s heart core and brain core were refined.
It was equivalent to receiving all the island’s gifts.
Though not obvious in a short time, if he completely refined the heart core and brain core, the refiners’ power would certainly soar swiftly!
Feng Jiangong, the refiner of the military’s Cloud Mist Island, became the military’s top expert because of this.
"So this Liang Yuan stayed on that dark attribute floating island for a month and a half, not because he was trapped."
"But because he spent a month and a half refining the island’s brain core and heart core?"
Instantly having this hypothesis, Yuan Shijie couldn’t help but take a deep breath.
There’s trouble!
A superpower user who had refined a floating island would certainly have raised his strength to the 100-point limit!
"Strange, Ding Huaiyi said that Liang Yuan was clearly a Spirit Ability User, how could he possibly refine the dark attribute floating island?"
Yuan Shijie felt bothered at the same time such a question arose in his heart.
But these issues were not the biggest worries for the moment.
A being with a main attribute reaching 100 points could not be treated with the usual attitude accorded to ordinary superpower faction leaders.
Such an existence, once a mortal vendetta was formed and the other party opened an assassination mode without any scruples, how many would the military lose?
"It seems immediate measures are needed to restore the situation."
He frowned slightly, not because he was afraid of the other party.
It’s just that if he formed a mortal vendetta with such a person, the other party might likely fall into the embrace of the Dove Faction.
In that case, it would be extremely detrimental to the Hawk Faction.
Because the Dove Faction already has Feng Jiangong and Zhang Yujiang, two tough experts with main attributes reaching 100 points.
If Liang Yuan were added to the mix, the consequences would be unimaginable.
Moreover, knowing Zhang Yujiang, if Zhang knew about Liang Yuan’s strength.
He would definitely step in to win him over!
