Chapter 81: Two Leader-Level Genes

Translator: Dragon Boat Translation  Editor: Dragon Boat Translation

Just like the Black Iron Body, the Red Copper Light could also greatly increase defense. At the same time, it could also increase strength and agility.

Moreover, the increase was much greater than that of Black Iron Body.

Just by evolving to Red Copper Light and breaking the gene lock, Lu Yuan’s various aspects had improved by about four times.

This was only an increase in his physical strength in all aspects. If it was converted to combat power, it would be more than four times.

Even ten of the previous Lu Yuan, was not a match for him now.

If he used combat skills, the difference would be even greater.

Lu Yuan’s heart was filled with surprise.

Was this the power of a leader-grade transcendent gene?

However, this was not the end.

Lu Yuan took out the natural recovery transcendent gene.

After breaking through to rank-1, the second gene chain appeared, and he could inscribe the second transcendent gene.

With a thought from Lu Yuan, the white light ball turned into a stream of light and merged into Lu Yuan’s body.

Inside the ball of light, strange lines passed through the white mist and entered the blank area of the genetic chain.

The strange lines kept changing shape and began to repair the blank areas.

With the repair, Lu Yuan’s body became stronger again.

He felt that his spirit had become much refreshed, his body had become tougher, and his muscles had become more compact.

Because it was a normal transcendent gene, with Lu Yuan’s current physical strength, he could only feel a slight tingling during the inscribing process. It was completely different from the intense pain he felt when he first inscribed the petrified skin.

As time passed, the blank genetic chain was filled, and the remaining strange lines integrated into the other areas of the genetic chain and began to fine-tune the other areas.

Not long after, the strange lines were completely absorbed.

The last step of inscribing the transcendent gene was reached.

Lu Yuan’s consciousness went into a daze and he appeared in the white mist.

The white mist surged, and a Treant with a green crown, about 1.6 meters tall, and two arms and two legs appeared in front of him.

This was the will of the living being of the natural recovery gene that had yet to completely dissipate.

This transcendent gene was the gene of this Treant.

As the natural recovery gene that Lu Yuan had recorded was of normal quality, this tree man was naturally a normal level beast.

His level was the same as Lu Yuan ‘s, both of them had just broken through to rank one.

However, to Lu Yuan, who was the first to evolve his transcendent gene to the leader level, ordinary beasts of the same level were of no threat to him.

The will of the tree man that had just appeared opened its mouth at Lu Yuan and roared silently.

Lu Yuan’s body turned into a stream of light and appeared in front of the tree man’s will.

He held the beetle claw sword in his hand, and sword light appeared, completely enveloping the Treant’s will.

In just a few breaths, the Treant’s will was completely shattered, turning into light spots and dissipating.

A ball of white light merged into Lu Yuan’s second gene chain.

An extremely comfortable and warm feeling emerged in Lu Yuan’s body again. At the same time, a strong force emerged from the depths of Lu Yuan’s body.

The second gene chain was completely carved, and Lu Yuan’s life was elevated once again.

Lu Yuan opened his eyes and felt the changes in his body.

[Natural recovery]”s boost was mainly in the mental aspect. Other than that, it also increased a certain amount of defense.

This might be because this transcendent gene came from the tree man.

The defensive abilities of Treants were generally not bad.

To Lu Yuan, it was naturally a good thing to be able to stack his defense.

After all, this transcendent gene was of ordinary quality. After engraving it, the enhancement effect was only about one-tenth of the Red Copper Light.

It could be said to be quite weak.

Lu Yuan was not particularly concerned about this. Anyway, he could evolve.

Lu Yuan glanced at the evolution cube that was still flashing with a faint blue light. He hesitated for a moment but did not evolve directly.

He had broken the gene lock, evolved the Black Iron Body, and recorded the natural recovery.

Although his body didn’t feel very tired, he was mentally exhausted.

Lu Yuan planned to rest first before continuing to evolve.

For now, he would take a nap and recover his energy.

Lu Yuan went to take a shower to wash away the cold sweat that had formed when he had evolved his Black Iron Body.

After he felt refreshed, he threw himself onto the bed and fell asleep.

Lu Yuan did not know how long he had slept. He opened his eyes and felt very energetic. The fatigue from before had disappeared completely.

He had recovered to his best condition.

Only then did Lu Yuan start to evolve again.

The evolution cube that was revolving around the gene strands had wisps of blue light that were integrated into the second gene strand.

The genetic sequence began to change under the power of evolution. The evolution had begun.

A slight tingling sensation spread throughout Lu Yuan’s body.

Based on Lu Yuan’s current physical strength, even if he evolved from normal to elite, it would not affect him much.

As time passed, the blue light slowly dissipated and the evolution was completed. Lu Yuan’s body once again emerged with more powerful strength.

His instinct told him about the combat skills after the evolution.

[Combat skill: Wood Healing]

Like natural recovery, it was also a healing-type combat skill.

The difference was that the healing effect of wood healing was much better than natural recovery.

Using the same amount of spiritual power, wood healing could heal more serious injuries, and it would take less time. The effect was almost twice that of natural recovery.

Similarly, the transcendent gene that had evolved was still mainly to increase one’s spirit. Other than increasing one’s defense, it had also increased one’s strength by quite a bit.

The effect of the upgrade was about double that of before the evolution.

Although the effect of an elite-grade gene was already pretty good, Lu Yuan naturally would not be satisfied just like that.

He still needed to continue evolving.

Fortunately, Lu Yuan had previously spent a large number of spirit crystals to charge the evolution Cube. Otherwise, he might not be able to support such continuous evolution.

Lu Yuan glanced at the evolution cube that was still flashing with a blue light. With a thought, the third evolution began.

Ka ka ka …

With the evolution of the genes, Lu Yuan’s bones, armor, blood, and flesh all over his body were broken and reassembled. The intense pain drowned Lu Yuan like a tide.

Lu Yuan’s face turned pale and he broke out in a cold sweat.

However, he couldn’t help but feel a little surprised.

The pain from this evolution was not as painful as the one Lu Yuan experienced when he evolved his Black Iron Body to Red Copper Light.

Lu Yuan could understand.

After all, Lu Yuan’s physical strength was much stronger than before.

Even so, Lu Yuan still felt a continuous sense of pain.

It was too difficult to do this every time he evolved.

Lu Yuan couldn’t help but complain in his heart. What could he do if he only wanted to evolve and become stronger?

He could only endure it.

As time passed, the pain slowly dissipated, and the dark blue light within the evolution cube became much dimmer.

And the evolution was completed.

Lu Yuan glanced at the evolution cube that had become a little transparent and could not help but feel his heart ache.

He had charged nearly 100000 crystals into the card, but he didn’t expect it to be used up so quickly.

The evolution cube consumed more energy during the second evolution to the boss level than the first.

It was not only when he evolved to the boss level, but also when he evolved to the elite level.

Lu Yuan was a little suspicious. Now that he had broken through to rank one and had two gene strands, it might be more difficult for him to evolve.

However, the process went smoothly.

Lu Yuan excitedly checked the newly evolved transcendent gene.

[Combat skill: Rejuvenation]

It was also a healing-type combat technique.

Lu Yuan had not had the time to try the specific healing effect.

However, this was only the increase brought about by the transcendent-grade gene. Compared to the previous elite-grade gene, it had increased by about three times.

His main attribute was naturally his spirit. His secondary attributes, strength and defense, had also received a huge boost. He had even increased a small portion of his agility.

After obtaining two leader-level genes in a row, the power in Lu Yuan’s body was like lava, ready to erupt at any time.

Lu Yuan got up from the bed, clenched his fist, and punched the air.

Boom!

The air waves surged and formed a strong wind in the room. The sofa at the side was blown horizontally by the strong wind and hit the wall heavily.

Feeling this powerful force, the corners of Lu Yuan’s mouth rose, and he revealed an excited smile.

Compared to before he advanced, Lu Yuan’s current strength had improved too much.

He was unable to estimate the exact combat strength, but his abilities in all aspects had increased by more than five times.

He only knew that if he met the ancient sea crocodile leader now, he would not be able to withstand a single punch from Lu Yuan.

He just didn’t know how it would compare to that catgirl Ye Ye.

Lu Yuan was a little curious. After all, Ye Ye was the strongest genetic warrior he had ever seen.
