Multi-Gene

When David was still on earth when he watched Wuxia movies or read Wuxia novels where the protagonist or an enemy spurted out mouthful of blood, he always thought it was funny and stupid.

But now, he could roughly understand their plight as he was also in the same situation.

If his blood circulation was completely interrupted, David would no longer be able to hold on to any of his techniques and he would only forcefully be reverted back to his normal state.

But with control he has over his body, he forcefully quelled his surging blood.

Without warning, he launched another attack at the old man. And in just a few seconds, David's body crashed into a Statics Tank.

Fluid and glass spilled everywhere with parts of a human, bones and a head spilled out.

Not minding it, David stood up unsteadily. His chest had two claw marks on it. But only white marks could be seen. The bronze color which covered his skin protected him but was also fading slowly.

And although the claws failed to pierce through his chest, the shockwave affected his internal organs.

The old man's strength just kept on increasing and it seemed five fold strength was unable to deal with him any longer and David wasn't sure he could hold onto this state for much longer, he was losing this battle if there was nothing left he could do.

The old man suddenly spoke up. "You should give up now. This is only 30 percent of my current power and I can assure you that it would only get stronger. Offer your blood to me.

I promise not to kill you as you seem to know a lot which I would also like to gain from. All I need is your blood." The old man's voice turned soft but this soft voice was like the siren's call.

Sure enough, the old man had also modified his voice box and his eyes as it seemed to want to pull David into an illusion to give up.

David immediately snorted and the atmosphere was instantly and completely broken. What nonsense illusion was that.

If you want to give him an illusion that would make him fall for it, at least put a damn TV and a bed in the illusion and see whether he wouldn't willingly stay there for you.

The old man's expression darkened as he thought in his heart 'This boy has a very strong will.' but who would know that he was completely mistaken, the hypnosis technique he had used, created the wrong illusion for David.

Which David broke immediately. David wasn't resigned to die like this, he couldn't just give up like this, he still had lots of things he hadn't done yet and moreover, he already swore to himself never to experience the feeling of death. It was a promise he intended to keep. But now, he was about to die, from a damn low level blood at that.

He wasn't willing

Firming his gaze, David was about to launch another attack, no matter how ineffective it was, it was still something.

Suddenly, David's stubborn gaze flickered as he suddenly frowned, his body was acting weird once again.

With the amount of control he had over his body, it was extremely easy for him to notice if something was happening to his body.

A gland in his body was secreting a large amount of bizarre fluid and at the same time, some of the nervous systems in his body was also secreting the same bizarre fluid which was directly injected in his blood streams, sending impulses to his organs and heart to create a specific order which David wasn't aware of.

This was as far as he could see. All of a sudden, his rapidly pounding heart that was moving like a piston in a cylinder and was about to jump out of his chest instantly increased in speed.

As the fluid merged with his blood stream, his body was suddenly in an excited state which he could never even calmed down.

He could feel his heart pounding in his throat as though it was about to jump out.

Heart pumping, head spinning, lungs bursting and body screaming for more... Every muscle craves relaxation as blood courses miles of veins and a pulse sounds in David's ears... ba-boom, ba-boom. It was a glimpse of heaven for a few seconds.

His muscles were completely filled with a tingling pressure of power as the fluid continued to flow into his bloodstream.

He felt that his body was about to explode if he didn't release the energy in his body.

But that wasn't all, Scorching heat suddenly exploded from the very depth of his veins as they turned deep red in fury.

Suddenly, his bloodshot eyes shifted as they locked onto the old man's red eyes.

The old man's eyes suddenly shook as he mumbled doubtfully"Adrenaline Burst!, Impossible! simply impossible!" he gazed at David as though he was a monster.

When the old man was still a Spryher, he had reached 216 blood cycle per minute before he advance to Phaser which was also roughly equivalent to 3.5 cycle per seconds. It was commendable and had even gain praises from the institute he was under at that time.

Even till then, he had never touched upon the Adrenaline State.

But now, a random student he had met had activated the Adrenaline State at just a few heartbeats greater than 100 cycles per minute from what he had calculated, it was simply impossible. He found it unbelievable.

Adrenaline: A stress hormone produced within the adrenal gland that quickens the heart beat, strengthens the force of the heart's contraction, and opens up the bronchioles in the lungs, among other effects. The secretion of adrenaline is part of the human 'fight or flight' response to fear, panic, or perceived threat for a normal human

But to a Spryher, this gland remains closed up and only a few ever managed to unlock them as a Spryher.
