Legend of the Mythological Genes

Chapter 37: Life Transformation

Translator: Lordbluefire Editor: Lordbluefire

Cold as water, scorching as fire.

The moment the potion of life entered his stomach, there was an ice-cold energy surging as if he had just drunk the icy spring water. It felt gratifying and refreshing. However, as the medicine took effect, it turned into a completely scorching feeling. It felt boiling, like magma seething in his body.

Feng Lin’s expression became distorted and he felt his entire body burning up as if it was blazing into ashes, leaving nothing behind.

Intense heat waves brought about huge impacts from the inside.

There was only one thought left on his mind. With such violent medicinal effects, it was no wonder that this was a medicine that was used only by cultivators. Ordinary people couldn’t take it at all. They would really explode...

Excruciating pain came again and again like tidal waves, challenging Feng Lin’s nerves and tolerance level, wanting to drown him into an endless stretch of darkness.

Feng Lin couldn’t afford to let his mind wander anymore. He quickly calmed down and focused, sitting down on the ground, sensing the changes to his body in great detail while bearing with the agony.

The medicinal effects were like heat currents, penetrating and seeping into all parts of his body.

Feng Lin felt as if he were a sturdy and unchanging piece of tough metal that was being grilled on strong fire, tempered incessantly and having the impurities removed.

All of the vital energy and blood in his body were seething, circulating crazily. His green veins popped up and his face turned flushed red. It was as if he were on a stove. It felt extremely hot.

Ha!

He suddenly opened his mouth and spewed out seething hot air, giving himself a fright. He almost thought that he had become a fire-spewing dragon.

Hot, hot, hot!...

Sweat kept flowing down, drenching his clothes and causing them to stick closely onto his body.

Violent energies kept raging in his body like tidal waves. Feng Lin was worried that his body was going to burst.

Pain, pain, pain!

It felt as if there wasn’t a spot on his body that wasn’t in pain.

Feng Lin gritted his teeth, and his entire body trembled intensely. The feeling was as though all of his organs on the inside had been crushed and then reassembled, presenting a state that was even more perfect and reasonable.

There can be no construction without destruction!

This was a process of destruction followed by construction.

Unlike the cultivation process where one slowly changed their bodies to go through a life transformation, the changes brought by medicine were instant and immediate. The violent medicinal effects were crushing up his body’s structure brutally and then reassembling them at rapid speed.

The intense changes also meant that there would be an enormous pain.

Feng Lin felt as if his consciousness was blurring slowly, drowned by waves of agony.

However, the more this was so, the more he would need to hold on.

Things might just be over with if he fainted. He might become completely free and relieved. However, he could only control the medicinal effects by maintaining his consciousness, allowing the transformation to be applied in the right places and maximizing the effects.

Crackle crackle!

He lowered his head, gritting his teeth so hard that crackling sounds were released. It was as if they were going to shatter.

Breath in... breath out... breath in... breath out...

Feng Lin felt as if he was going to suffocate soon, and he started gasping for air. All the pores on his body opened up, digesting the scorching energies brought by the potion of life.

In the end, the hot currents flowed through every corner and gradually seeping into the deepest part of his body.

Organs, cells, cell nuclei... They seeped through many layers, from a wider perspective to a closer one, and then all the way to the genes!

From inside to the outside, Feng Lin’s body emitted a series of red light that was as clear and dark as blood.

With the disappearance of the hot currents, Feng Lin could faintly see a scene he was used to.

This was a dark world that was as vast as the universe. Many substances that were like snakes or dragons were tangled together, presenting an upward spiral form. Some parts of it were emitting light, sometimes bright and sometimes dark as if they were the countless stars in the sky.

These were genes!

He had to say that this was an extremely amazing scene.

Although Feng Lin was able to see the distribution of the genes in his body with the reliance of genetic equations, this was the first time he could see the true forms of genes from the microscopic perspective with his own eyes.

A series of warm currents were like the ocean currents on the Pacific Ocean that flowed from the south toward the north, suddenly flowing into this dark space.

Many sections of the genes that had originally been dark and weren’t emitting light suddenly burst out in great light, presenting a glow that was like that of the stars. They were pure, mysterious, ancient... the bringer of great astonishment.

The light became increasingly brighter, like how small sparks could burn an entire stretch of plains. More and more of them gathered, rapidly spreading out throughout the entire dark space.

The genes that were activated continued to split, controlling the different combinations of nutrients, cells reproduction, organs proliferation... Various parts of the body kept being modified, going through an intrinsic life transformation.

Strange scenes passed by with a flash. He saw the process of the medicine taking effect, modifying his body.

Kacha Kacha!

His joints kept crackling; his organs started to become agitated. They were like loud thunder, like the heavy rainstorm, like the strong tempest...

Feng Lin curled up his body without realizing it. His body was going through a transformation, his muscles bulging and some imprints appeared. Layers of keratin started to form on his skin, just like shiny white marble that was smooth yet tough.

He had no idea how long had passed before this intense pain started to subside gradually.

Feng Lin slowly stood up and realized that he seemed to become like a clay figure, covered in perspiration and blood. He felt very sticky and uncomfortable.

He suddenly felt very different. His vision became very strange. It was as if he was walking on heels where everything before him had become a little shorter...

He moved slightly and his clothes instantly burst apart.

Could it be...?

Feng Lin quickly took a selfie with his identity microchip. Only then did he discover his body’s transformation.

His height had surged up to 1.9 meters from 1.8 meters. His battered clothes revealed chunks of study, toned, and streamlined muscles. His fair skin emitted a faint glow, just like pure white ivory.

This was a form that could be described as perfection!

Even when displaying his overflowing strength, his speed wouldn’t have trouble keeping up. His body was straight and upright like a spear as he stood there with a vigorous and aggressive disposition.

Without a doubt, Feng Lin knew that a huge change had gone on in his body. He quickly checked his gene attributes.

=======

Name: Feng Lin

Vitality: 2.3

Monkey Gene: 10

Stonebirth Gene: 8

Genetic Potential: 178%

=======

His potential didn’t increase and neither was his genetic strengthening tally.

However, his vitality index had gone through a change, breaking through 2 and reaching 2.3.

Feng Lin was now the top of his class without a doubt. He had surpassed that Zhao Kai both in terms of his powers and his vitality.

It could be said that with Feng Lin’s battle instincts, that Zhao Kai would be stepped firmly under his feet, with no hope of reprieve.

However, Feng Lin no longer cared about Zhao Kai. Zhao Kai wasn’t fit to be his opponent. Feng Lin only could only compare with himself.

After his vitality had broken through to 2.0, his body went through a huge change.

Feng Lin calmly sensed the exuberant energy that filled up his body. Even if he didn’t sleep for three days and three nights, he wouldn’t feel tired at all. Endless amount of energy filled up his muscles.

He couldn’t help but become excited. That brain analysis in the illusory martial pagoda wasn’t wrong. His genetic potential hadn’t been completely stimulated.

After drinking the potion of life and replenishing the nutrients in his body, his vitality surged immediately.

Although he had a strong urge to drink another bottle, his rational mind stopped him.

The potion of life was too domineering and would put on too great of a stress onto his body. He shouldn’t drink more of it in the short term.

After all, every medicine had its toxicity.

Even great nourishing medicine had a high level of toxicity if one over-consumed them!

Thus, His body still needed to have a good rest.

Regardless, the transformation had brought his vitality to 2.3. He was definitely not a weakling anymore. Feng Lin was now even more confident on his cultivation path.

Now, he would have to solve the pressing situation immediately. It was time for him to have an official negotiation with his family!
