Chapter 96 - Genetic Capacity



Chapter 96 Genetic Capacity

Lin Feng’s senses were sharp. He naturally knew what the surrounding martial artists were exclaiming about. However, he did not intend to explain this beautiful misunderstanding. Letting these people misunderstand would also give them more motivation to break the genetic lock.

In reality, Lin Feng himself was also very shocked. This was only the strength erupted from his physical body, and it had reached 350 tons. If he unleashed three more Spiral Forces, Lin Feng could instantly unleash more than 1,000 tons of strength.

No wonder he could crush three Screwworm demons with a single punch after erupting three Spiral Forces, and even the force in the wind could crush a Screwworm demon. His strength was actually that formidable.

An eruption of more than 1,000 of strength could completely allow Lin Feng to suppress others with his strength alone. No matter what method was employed, a punch would be enough to resolve it.

Although Lin Feng did not know how strong other Metamorphic Realm martial artists were, for an experienced Metamorphic Realm martial artist like Long Duo, even with the enhancement of Astral Power, he should only be able to unleash 300 to 400 tons of strength at most, which was far inferior to Lin Feng.

Not to mention that Lin Feng had other miraculous innate abilities. Even if there were ten Long Duos, Lin Feng would be able to defeat them easily. Moreover, Lin Feng had yet to complete his metamorphosis. After his metamorphosis was over, his strength might still increase greatly.

“Phew…”

Lin Feng gradually calmed his agitated emotions. He had already confirmed that he had indeed awakened five innate abilities. However, two of the innate abilities were the same, and they were both awakened innate abilities of strength.

It seemed like a repetition was not a good thing. However, it was precisely because of these two repetitive innate abilities that Lin Feng had the complete upper hand the moment he broke the genetic lock, getting an explosive increase in strength. Otherwise, it would not have been so easy to repel those Screwworms.

Lin Feng left the training hall and returned to his room.

He was very satisfied with the strength test, and also got a rough understanding of his current strength. Even though he was still in the midst of metamorphosis, his strength already far surpassed that of ordinary Metamorphic Realm martial artists.

However, Lin Feng naturally did not forget what he relied on to have such strength, and even break the genetic lock.

The genetic fusion device was Lin Feng’s greatest secret and his greatest reliance! Ever since he broke the genetic lock, Lin Feng had not checked the various data on his body again.

Hence, Lin Feng mobilized the genetic fusion device to check the various data on his body.

Physique: 380.49

Strength: 366.21

Agility: 160.37

Skills: Wild Bovine’s Might (Mastered, comprehended Wild Bovine’s True Intent), Nonuple Body Tempering (Mastered, condensed three Spiral Forces), Lightning Arc Blade Technique (Mastered)

Innate Abilities: Defensive Armor, Sharp Horn, Undying Characteristic, Strength Amplification

Genetic Fusion: Wild Bovine genes, Unicorn genes, Proboscis Beast genes, Screwworm genes

Genetic Capacity: 48%

Lin Feng was not surprised to see these data. His various physical attributes had indeed improved substantially. It could even be considered an explosive improvement.

The data on physique and strength had basically increased by five times. In the past, Lin Feng’s strength was 20 tons before he broke the genetic lock. Now, it was 128 tons, which was an increase of about five times.

Although the data was very strong, beyond imagination, breaking the genetic lock was equivalent to a life transition. It was an improvement in the essence of life, and the various physical data naturally improved by an incredible extent.

Moreover, there was an additional “innate abilities” item in the data column. In it were the various innate abilities that Lin Feng had awakened. As expected, the increase in Lin Feng’s strength indeed came from awakened innate abilities.

However, what caught Lin Feng’s attention the most was the genetic capacity. He remembered clearly that before breaking the genetic lock, Lin Feng’s genetic capacity had reached 98%, and it was almost impossible for him to fuse other genes.

But now? The genetic capacity had changed again, to 48%. The change in this number was not simple and was very informative. A genetic capacity of 48% meant that Lin Feng could continue to fuse genes. Also, the change of the previous 98% to the current 48% indicated that the genetic capacity had expanded, almost doubled.

If one wanted to fuse genes again, the amount that can be fused would be almost the same as the total amount of genes from the four previous dire beasts.

Once a life transition occurred, the genetic capacity would increase. What if it happened once more? Or twice, or thrice?

If the genetic capacity continued to expand, Lin Feng would have a “shortcut”. He could continue to fuse with other powerful dire beast genes, and his strength could increase rapidly, saving countless years of difficult cultivation.

Perhaps two life transitions wouldn’t be a problem, and three life transitions wouldn’t be too difficult either. It might even be possible for him to become a Sage after four life transitions.

This was Lin Feng’s greatest reliance!

However, Lin Feng would not fuse with the genes of dire beasts casually. If he just fused the genes of dire beasts but could not break the genetic lock after fusion, and could not obtain innate abilities, it could only improve his strength or physique by some extent. What would be the use of that to Lin Feng in the present?

It would even be meaningless. He was planning to one day fuse with the genes of a demon. In fact, it would be even better if he could obtain its innate ability.

However, this required careful planning, and Lin Feng was not confident in the exact outcome. He had to be careful. Moreover, he was still in the metamorphosis period. No one could say for certain if there would be any changes. Whether to fuse other genes and everything else could be decided after the metamorphosis ended.

During this period of time, Lin Feng was extremely bored. Apart from waiting for news from Long Duo, he could only study the few innate abilities he had awakened.

For instance, how strong was the defense of the Defensive Armor, and what was the limit?

For another instance, the Sharp Horn was indestructible, so what could counter the Sharp Horn?

There was also the Undying Characteristichow astonishing his restorative ability was, which level of damage was more lethal to Lin Feng, and so on. All of these required Lin Feng to study and practice for a long time. Even learning how to make these few innate abilities synergize with each other in battle to maximize their effects was a long-term process.

Hence, even though he was rather idle, Lin Feng did not waste time. Although his innate abilities had not improved, his overall combat prowess was subtly improving as he became more familiar with utilizing his abilities.

Stone City was located at the intersection of three rivers. It was an economically developed city, and a transportation hub.

This was also Yu Shan’s hometown. After he left Dragonlith City, he returned to his hometown and lived in a high-end sanatorium.

For an initial period of time, Yu Shan was overall in a state of depression. He felt that the entire world was very dark. With the path of martial arts severed, leaving the familiar battlefield and returning to a peaceful and tranquil society made him feel very ill-adjusted instead.

He even saw his lifelong friend, Lin Feng, become the hero of three million people in Dragonlith City, even breaking the genetic lock and became an inhuman expert. Yu Shan was really envious. He’d be very envious even about dying on the battlefield.

Unfortunately, he was already crippled and without his legs. He could only sit in a wheelchair every day.

In these gloomy days, neither lengthy nor fleeting, there was a girl who always stayed by his side. Her name was Chang Xi, and she was a very quiet and gentle girl.

Chang Xi was a nurse at the sanatorium and inadvertently got to know Yu Shan. She was Yu Shan’s friend during the darkest days of his life. She accompanied him every day, listening to him tell stories about the battlefield and his comrades.

Chang Xi listened very attentively. In the course of time, without their realization, the two of them had fallen in love.

Love helped Yu Shan pull himself together again. It made him feel that there were things in this world that were worth cherishing other than martial arts. The girl beside him, for instance, was worth protecting for all his life.
