Seeing the three words “analyzing” constantly flashing, the few people in the room were all bewildered.
Even if it was the gene essence of a Super Galaxy Beast, it shouldn’t have taken so long to analyze, right?
Lin Zhen watched for a while and suddenly had a flash of inspiration: “I have an avatar! Could it be that because of my avatar, the gene analysis is missing some information?”
Upon hearing Lin Zhen’s words, Han Sha couldn’t help but slap his thigh, “Right! It must be because of that. The avatar must have taken a bit of the main body’s genes. You need to bring your avatar here too, and test both together. That might give us better results.”
“Alright, I’ll bring my avatar over now.”
Lin Zhen’s avatar was not far away. With a thought, his avatar teleported directly to their location.
When Lin Zhen’s avatar appeared in front of Han Sha and Jie Li, they couldn’t help but be amazed. They didn’t expect Lin Zhen, at such a young age, to have so many hidden abilities. This avatar had reached the Planet Stage and exuded an air of strength.
“Hurry, have your avatar drip some blood into this too. If both your main body and avatar are suitable, maybe we can get two bottles of gene essence.”
Lin Zhen’s avatar stepped forward and dripped blood into the test tube.
The machine immediately began to re-analyze.
The group waited patiently. After about ten minutes, the analysis results finally came out.
“Avatar suitable for gene essence. Super Galaxy Beast Fire Kirin gene essence!”
Seeing this result, Han Sha and Jie Li jumped up in excitement!
“Yay! Hahaha! I knew Lin Zhen wouldn’t disappoint us. A Super Galaxy Beast gene, and it’s the Fire Kirin! Oh my God! This time we really hit the jackpot!”
“This is so rare. Our Fire Kirin Empire has hardly ever had anyone with the Fire Kirin gene!”
“What do you mean ‘hardly ever’? There’s only been one case in history where the gene and the Guardian Beast matched!”
The two laughed happily. Lin Zhen wasn’t surprised. His avatar was originally a Fire Kirin, so not getting this gene would be strange.
Now, he was looking at the gene of his main body to see if it was the same as his avatar’s.
After laughing for a while, Han Sha and Jie Li realized something was off – why wasn’t the result for the main body out yet?
Under the watchful eyes of the three, the genes of Lin Zhen’s main body finally appeared.
“Main body suitable for gene essence. Super Galaxy Beast Fire Kirin!”
After seeing the test result, Han Sha and Jie Li heaved a sigh of relief.
“Phew! I thought something went wrong. It took half a day to analyze the same gene essence. It seems this machine is somewhat old.”
“It doesn’t matter. After we discover Lin Zhen’s talents, we’ll definitely be rewarded, and we can buy a new one after that.”
The excitement of the two didn’t die down until the machine automatically dispensed two bottles of gene essence for Lin Zhen’s main body and avatar. Then they finally calmed down.
“Lin Zhen, you’ve really hit the jackpot this time. Do you know how much one bottle of this Fire Kirin gene essence is worth? One hundred billion! A whole one hundred billion Kirin Coins! And it’s priceless. If you auctioned this off, these two bottles would fetch three hundred billion. You’ve just gotten this for free. Tell me, is joining our Star River Giant Beast Alliance the best thing ever?”
Lin Zhen smiled and nodded: “It really is something to be happy about. I didn’t expect my genes to be this good.”
At that moment, Han Sha said to Jie Li, “I think we should keep Lin Zhen’s results a secret for now. Let’s just say he received… the gene essence of a low-level Star River Beast Suan Ni, and not attract too much attention. Otherwise, he might become a target.”
“Right, Lin Zhen, when you go out, don’t tell anyone the real situation. Just say you got the gene essence of a Suan Ni.”
“Understood.” Lin Zhen nodded earnestly.
“Go ahead. You have eleven months until we enter the World Stone. Take your gene essence right away, try to obtain the power of your talent, and then… focus on training. We’re counting on you for this World Stone.”
Lin Zhen followed their instructions and left. When he stepped out of the room, the people around him asked him what kind of gene essence he had gotten.V/IssịT n0(v)eL/b(i)(n).𝘤𝑜/𝓂 for the b/est novel reading experi/en/ce
Lin Zhen said it was the gene essence of a Suan Ni. One Martial Artist didn’t believe him and said, “Why did you spend so long in there? It was almost an hour.”
Lin Zhen smiled: “Because I wasn’t satisfied with just getting the gene essence of a low-level Star River Beast, so I wanted to try again. But in the end, they rejected my request, and pleading didn’t help.”
After hearing this, the Martial Artists all turned away and left.
Although Lin Zhen got a low-level Star River Beast gene essence which was better than theirs, it wasn’t worth making a big fuss about.
Lin Zhen walked out of the room where Han Sha and the others were, and entered his specially-prepared room in this villa.
Everyone had their own room. They all had to live here for the time being, following Han Sha’s arrangements.
Upon entering his room, Lin Zhen couldn’t wait to communicate with Chris.
“What just happened?”
Chris immediately said to Lin Zhen, “Master, the intelligent life within that machine just contacted me and told me that your genes are very special. Their AI system automatically concealed the truth, only revealing that you had the Fire Kirin gene.”
“They can actually do that?”
“Yes. It’s an automatic command issued by the system, only used for extremely rare and special genes. Even Han Sha and Jie Li don’t know about this, nor do the higher-ups of the Fire Kirin Empire. Only the top executives at the headquarters of the Star River Giant Beast Alliance can access and view the information.”
Lin Zhen’s face was serious: “What exactly are the genes of my original body?”
“Your original body is called the Black Hole Beast, and they have automatically configured the Genetic Potion for you. One of the two bottles contains it. After you take it, your genetic bloodline will awaken,” replied the voice.
“Black Hole Beast?” Lin Zhen was taken aback. What does this name imply?
“That’s right, the Black Hole Beast. This Galaxy Beast can be considered a close relative of the Kirin. It has only appeared twice in the recorded history of the entire universe. It is a form that the Kirin Beast has mutated into and is also called the Energy Absorbing Beast, possessing a special ability to absorb energy.”
“How do you absorb energy?” Lin Zhen asked.
“Absorbing energy means absorbing objects containing energy, such as certain metals, Crystal Stones, ores, etc. The energy absorbed from these objects can be converted into Star Power.”
“What? It can be converted into Star Power? Can I absorb these things to advance my level?”
“In theory, yes.”
“Why is it ‘in theory’?”
“Because to advance solely relying on this method, you would need to absorb a tremendous quantity of items, which is too costly for someone with an average financial capability to bear.”
Hearing this, Lin Zhen let out a long breath.
So it’s about spending money. If it were something else, he might have to be worried, but money is not an issue now. He has accumulated about three trillion advanced civilized Universe Country currency. If this amount of money is still not enough to support his consumption, then the energy needed for the Black Hole Beast could really be described as a black hole.
Knowing these things, Lin Zhen immediately felt motivated to press on.
He and his clone both sat down and began taking the Genetic Fluid.
Among the two bottles of Genetic Fluid, one of them was for the Black Hole Beast. Chris helped Lin Zhen identify it.
First, Lin Zhen’s clone ingested the Genetic Fluid to see its effects.
As the clone swallowed the Genetic Fluid, a surge of heat rushed into his abdomen. Gradually, Lin Zhen’s clone began to change.
It seemed like a force from his soul was awakening within his body, making every cell in his body grow stronger.
His blood seemed to be gradually burning. While sitting on the bed, the bones in his body constantly made cracking noises.
Ka-ka-ka-ka~~!!
Sizzle~~!!
The clothes on Lin Zhen’s clone’s body were broken due to the expanding bones. A layer of golden scales began to appear on his body’s surface.
“This feeling! I feel like I’m seeing Little Nuan when she’s grown up, and my body seems to be turning into a Kirin!”
At this moment, Lin Zhen looked like an Alien with clothes no longer able to cover his body, easily tearing into pieces. On his back, a pattern resembling a Fire Kirin began to emerge.
“Hiss-ang!”
Feeling the pain, Lin Zhen’s clone couldn’t help but raise his head and let out a roar, resulting in a loud beast roar.
Thankfully, the room was spacious and soundproofed enough not to let the noise escape.
Hot waves surged inside his body, and the changes in his body continued for about half an hour before finally calming down.
His body finally returned to its original state, showing no apparent difference on the outside. However, the difference inside was tremendous.
“My body feels so much stronger, the true body of a Galaxy Beast. I believe at this moment, even if I stood in the elemental storm, my body won’t be damaged at all.”
“Moreover, I can feel the Star Power surge within me, as soon as the original body advances to the next level, my clone will advance as well.”
Lin Zhen slowly stood up and went to the mirror.
His robust body appeared in the mirror without any clothing.
“I can feel that I now have two talents. One is Little Nuan’s Innate Devouring.”
Lin Zhen slightly opened his mouth and breathed into the mirror.
A powerful suction appeared, and if someone below Planet Stage were present, they would have been devoured by Lin Zhen in one gulp.
“In addition to this ability, I have another one: Armorization!”
With a thought, Lin Zhen’s body immediately displayed a layer of golden scales, covering every part of his body except the face.
He exhaled a series of yellow smoke from his nostrils, emitting a strong sulfur smell. He extended his fingers and gently flicked the scales, producing a metallic clanging sound.
“Such an impressive body! My physical strength has reached the Peak of Lower Grade Divine Artifacts. Ordinary Middle Grade Divine Artifacts can’t cause much damage to me. Moreover, my hands, feet, and teeth have all reached the Peak of Middle Grade Divine Artifacts. It can be said that my entire body is a weapon!”
“It’s truly powerful! With this body, I can travel through the stars!”
With excitement, Lin Zhen became even more expectant of the changes that his original body would undergo!
