Legend of the Mythological Genes Chapter 56

Gene modules were assembling on its own!

The more Feng Lin thought about it, the more likely it could happen!

This was definitely a possibility .

Although the virtual universe simulated the real world, it was not bound by the fundamental laws of the real universe . The virtual universe had incomparable degrees of freedom that allowed people to disassemble gene modules as they pleased .

With this, Feng Lin could fully utilize genetic equations to derive genetic formulas . With the ability to freely assemble genes, he was able to experience the essence of different genetic evolution paths and deepen his understanding of mythological genes .

Genetic potential +8% .

At this time, Feng Lin discovered that his genetic potential had also increased . Although it was not much, it was better than nothing .

Even though the gene module was virtual, his body's sensation was real . This was a type of cultivation, thus his potential was growing .

Seeing this, Feng Lin also realized the profound meaning behind the design of this genetic hunting ground . It could allow people to fight against extraterrestrial races and understand the cruelty of battle against them . With that experience, one could cultivate their courage, pretty much achieving the objective of cultivation all at the same time . Moreover, it allowed the person to freely assemble genes to find the most suitable genetic evolution path for themselves .

The one who designed this gene hunting ground was definitely one of great wisdom .

This gene hunting ground was more than just a desert environment . Different environments would have different races . The resulting genes from those areas would also have different varieties .

Feng Lin checked the map of the gene hunting ground and began to transport himself . His body disappeared in a flash, and the next moment, he reappeared on another location .

It was a dense jungle covered in luscious greenery and trees, just like an ancient forest carrying a senescence aura .

"Foreign species discovered! Trespasser of the Secret Forest, die!" The air swelled and fluctuated strangely as dull noises resounded from all directions .

Boom boom boom!

The soil exploded and a huge tree root that was like a poisonous snake tunneling its way out of the ground entangled its way over as if it was an octopus's tentacle .

Sandstorm!

Feng Lin clasped his hands .

Hum!

The gale force intensified .

A sandstorm of more than ten meters in circumference appeared, rushing past the forest as the raging winds scattered the thick vines into it .

Feng Lin furrowed his brow, and the gale force slowly lessened .

He noticed that the power of the sandstorm was influenced by environmental factors . The desert environment was a blessing for the ability of the Sandstorm gene, unlike forests which could withstand and reduce the power of sandstorm .

Boom boom boom!

The forest suddenly changed .

Feng Lin looked over in shock . He suddenly saw a group of giant trees stand up from the ground .

Really, they stood up!

Two black holes and a crack appeared on the giant tree . It looked like eyes and mouth . The roots entangled to form a pair of legs . It appeared as though they were a group of treants .

The wrinkled face roared into the sky as sound rippled into the surroundings .

They raised their giant arms that were the size of stone pillars and then smashed the ground heavily . The ground shook causing Feng Lin to lose his footing .

Many treants' branches were like pythons that wrapped around their body . The branches were covered in a thick juice that smelled repulsive . It was definitely toxic .

Feng Lin dodged to one side while clasping both hands . Sand gathered in the palm of his hands to form a long lance . It was as though the lance was covered in gold plating .

It was different from the lance that was previously conjured . With the Sandstorm gene, Feng Lin's control over sand was exceptional . This time, the lance was extremely fortified in strength .

There was a whirlwind that bolstered the blade of the lance, making the blade unbelievably sharp . It was as if it was imbued by invisible wind blades that could slice through anything .

Feng Lin's keen movements continuously dodged any attacks . At the same time, he would pierce and whirl his lance around, leaving scars upon the treants' bodies .

The treant was screaming in pain, as the green liquid was flowing out of its body like blood .

However, the plant species was born with innately powerful vitality . Scars on its body would heal at a speed that was visible to the naked eye .

These treants were few in number, but each of them was unbelievably strong . Moreover, they were able to manipulate plants; its power was amazing .

If it was said that the earlier insects were large in numbers but weak in power, then they were only considered as normal mobs in a video game . These treants would be considered as elite mobs .

Feng Lin did not fight it head-on . He was like a flea on the treant's body, jumping about and fiercely piercing with the lance, landing critical strikes consecutively .

The treant roared . With its giant body, its movement was extremely slow . It could not catch up to Feng Lin's movement .

They could only snarl in helplessness . In the end, they fell due to the accumulated damage and turned into data . Three different gene modules appeared .

Plant Gene ×3, Active Gene ×2, Flexibility Gene ×3

Feng Lin took these gene modules and stored them within the backpack in the system . He then saw their information displayed .

=======

Gene: Plant Gene

Grade: Mid-grade basic gene

Ability: Beginner manipulation of plants

. . .

Gene: Active Gene

Grade: High-grade basic gene

Ability: Enhance life activity and increased recovery

. . .

Gene: Flexibility Gene

Grade: Mid-grade basic gene

Ability: Body strengthening, hard to destroy

=======

Feng Lin's genetic equation activated automatically, utilizing 56% of his genetic potential, receiving the following new genetic formulas .

Plant Gene ×3 + Active Gene ×2 = Tree Gene

Plant Gene ×2 + Active Gene ×1 + Flexibility Gene ×4 = Vine Gene

Plant Gene ×5 + Active Gene ×3 + Flexibility Gene ×2 = Giant Tree Gene

Plant Gene ×6 + Active Gene ×8 + Flexibility Gene ×3 = Ancient Tree Gene

Plant Gene x9 + Active Gene ×10 + Flexibility Gene ×8 = Treant Gene

A series of five genetic formulas .

For others, if they didn't know many genetic formulas, they could only choose the better genetic formula based on its relative power to the other formulas .

However, Feng Lin was different . He would only choose the best one .

Sandstorm Gene was a primeval gene . Even though the environment wasn't suitable, the power was far superior to the lower tiered basic gene .

Feng Lin equipped the primeval gene that would blow away the treants, and he used the prowess of the Sandstorm Gene to suppress the treants .

Soon he had collected enough fundamental gene modules to evolve to the primeval genes .

Feng Lin removed the Sandstorm Gene and put it away . He then installed nine Plant Gene, ten Active Gene, and eight Flexibility Gene to produce the Treant Gene . A transformative stream of data changed his entire body .

This was a type of gene module in which a mini treant was inside, vividly moving about like it was a living object .

Feng Lin could feel the miraculous changes within his body . His body expanded with his height reaching over three meters tall . His skin became dry but tough as though he was a treant, and his entire body was covered in bark-like thick armor . He could feel his power skyrocketed .

Looking at the data, Feng Lin discovered that his virtual body's vitality had broken through the 10 gate, reaching 11 . 8 . He was at the vitality level of a real Interstellar cultivator .

"Gene modules could actually assemble on their own!" He had proven his hypothesis . Feng Lin continued to experiment and play .

Gene hunting ground was like a game's instance dungeon; it had different difficulty levels . There were novice, elite, master, grandmasters, hell, abyss, and many other instance difficulties .

The more difficult the instance, the higher would the requirement for one's battle power and cultivation be .

Feng Lin did not rush to enter a higher-level instance . He was trying to continuously discover basic genes in the novice instance, testing the various gene combinations, and developing his understanding of the essence of gene evolution .

Airflow Gene x6 + Cloudmist Gene x7 + Moisture Gene x5 = Storm Gene

Waterflow Gene x8 + Ice Gene x7 + Tornado Gene x3 = Snowstorm gene

Flame Gene x9 + Rock Gene x7 = Magma Gene

. . .

Each high-grade primeval gene's evolutionary formula was tested one after another . Feng Lin was gaining more experience with gene cultivation . With a new understanding, his body's genetic potential was rapidly increasing tiny bits at a time .

Genetic potential +8%, +8%, +8% . . . . . .

Soon, his genetic potential reached 582% . It was closing in on almost 600%; he received 6 more genetic points .

However, Feng Lin was unaware that his activities within each gene hunting ground were being tracked by the system . With his increasing number of kills, his kill data was being recorded .

His ranking appeared within the novice instance leaderboard, rising like a rocket . It gradually caught the attention of some people .
