Chapter 70: Gene Level

“Hi, hello! Nice to meet you.”

Zhou Liming stood next to a tall and strong teammate. In fact, everyone in the X Squadron was very strong. Compared to them, Zhou Liming’s thin and small body was just trash, as if a gust of wind could blow him away. Their modified physical qualities were absolutely abnormal; their strength, reaction speed, and speed were much higher than ordinary people.

Like the one in front of him, the weight shown on the machine for the bench press had already reached 800 kilograms, but he was not struggling at all and lifted it easily.

For himself, 800 kilograms was not a problem. Like when he was escaping before, wasn’t the car weighing over two tons flipped over by him? This was still his physical strength without entering the Fierce Beast Form. If he was in the Fierce Beast Form, this data would multiply several times over, perhaps even more.

The strong man doing the bench press did not even look at Zhou Liming; he was just focusing on his training.

Zhou Liming touched his nose and suddenly felt bored. The people here were almost all like wood. Including this one, this was already the fifth person he had actively approached to say hello to, and every single one of them ignored him, cold as a log. Zhou Liming was a bit confused; were these elite aces in the unit all mute?

Seeing that it was boring, Zhou Liming could only sigh and walk in front of a speed tester. He carefully observed the buttons on it before figuring out how to use it.

The entire morning was spent in boredom. Lian Ruixue did not appear in the training again. Zhou Liming felt like an idiot. Here, no one spoke, and there were no other activities. Except for facing these damn machines, there were still just machines.

Now Zhou Liming missed the Dean and the others a little; he really wanted to see them.

Unfortunately, the higher-ups did not approve his request. The reason was simple: as a member of the X Squadron, the task he shouldered was very important. Training himself well and mastering more combat skills was the top priority right now.

However, he was allowed to make a phone call, and he learned that they were all well.

In the afternoon, the training was about getting familiar with skills in the Fierce Beast Form. It was not conducted in the underground Training Base but returned to the ground with Lian Ruixue.

Standing on the open ground, it was flat and endless.

Lian Ruixue took off her camouflage uniform, revealing a black vest. Her figure was very good. In that state, the black vest highlighted the magnificence of her chest even more, and one could even see two small protruding points. The people present were all vigorous men, so naturally, their eyes went straight, and there was no knowing how many were swallowing their saliva in secret.

But no matter how exciting it was, thinking of Lian Ruixue’s strength, everyone shrank their heads.

Zhou Liming had just entered the most hazy period for females. Seeing Lian Ruixue’s body tightly wrapped by the black vest, he only felt his head heat up, his breathing became a bit rapid, and it seemed his blood was boiling. His lower body actually started to react. This made Zhou Liming panic, and he hurriedly turned his head away, secretly hating that he was really a rookie; he couldn’t hold back with just a little temptation. It was truly embarrassing.

Actually, this could not be blamed on Zhou Liming. Anyone in this period of youthful stirring would have wild thoughts as long as there was a little stimulation.

Lian Ruixue did not care at all about the rapid breathing of the men in front of her and said lightly, “Everyone should have some understanding of your own Fierce Beast Gene, but there are still some people who don’t know, so I will explain it again. Fierce Beast Genes, according to the research of Dean Ren and the others, can currently be divided into three types. The first type is the Primitive Fierce Beast Gene, the second type is the Primary Sub-Fierce Beast Gene, and the third type is the Secondary Sub-Fierce Beast Gene.”

“Primitive Fierce Beast Genes refer to the genes carried by meteorites. They are still in a primitive state and are also the top-level Fierce Beast Genes. Currently, it seems difficult to find this kind of primitive gene because after the meteorite enters the earth, it will look for the nearest creature to parasitize and transform, allowing these creatures to grow into the Fierce Beast Form carried by the gene.”

Speaking of this, Lian Ruixue also hesitated a bit and said, “Since it is the top-level Fierce Beast Gene, it means that the abilities obtained will be very comprehensive. Usually, this kind of Fierce Beast will stand at the top of the pyramid of Fierce Beasts and is the King-level among Fierce Beasts of the same level.”

“Primary Sub-Fierce Beast Genes are the best besides the Primitive Fierce Beast Genes. They are the Fierce Beast Genes extracted from the Fierce Beasts infected by the primitive genes. By analogy, Secondary Sub-Fierce Beast Genes are extracted from the Fierce Beasts modified by the Primary Sub-Fierce Beast Genes. Currently, the Fierce Beast Genes used to modify us are some Primary Sub-Fierce Beast Genes and some Secondary Sub-Fierce Beast Genes.”

Hearing Lian Ruixue say this, Zhou Liming seemed to understand. He was hit by a meteorite and then transformed by the Fierce Beast Gene, so he should be considered a Primitive Fierce Beast Gene, right?

“The difference in Fierce Beast Genes leads to different abilities and forms for us.”

Lian Ruixue paused. That pair of purple wings suddenly appeared on her back. Just by vibrating lightly, she was already lifted up, leaving the ground. She said, “For example, I am a modifier of the Primary Sub-Fierce Beast Gene. The Fierce Beast Gene extracted is from the Purple Butterfly Beast, a Level Five Fierce Beast, which possesses extremely strong flying ability. The Air Force dispatched more than thirty Fighter Jets and almost got completely destroyed before they managed to kill it.”

“And Qiao Bingsen, his gene is also a Primary Sub-Fierce Beast Gene, coming from the Level Five Fierce Beast Lightning Beast, a Fierce Beast shaped like a leopard, possessing terrifying explosive power and extremely fast speed. His instinctive skill, or Form Skill attack method, is Explosion, which can increase his speed by three times in a short time. By the way, in the sparring match with me this morning, he did not activate the Explosion state.”

Hearing this, everyone below took a deep breath. Without activating the Explosion state, his speed was already so fast that people could hardly see clearly. If it increased by three times, what kind of concept would that be? I’m afraid many of the people present would be killed by his lightning speed before they even had a thought, right?

“Actually, the reason I say this is to let everyone know how difficult it is for the country to obtain these genes, and what a huge price was paid to obtain these Fierce Beast Genes. More importantly, one Fierce Beast can only extract enough Fierce Beast Gene for two people. After deducting failures, often three to four Fierce Beasts are needed for one person to successfully stand here.”

Lian Ruixue seemed to glance at Zhou Liming. Here, the one who identified the least with this kind of effort from the country was probably him.

Indeed, Zhou Liming did not have much sense of identification because the way he obtained the Fierce Beast Gene was too coincidental. It could be said that the probability of it happening was one in hundreds of millions, many times harder than winning the lottery. But Lian Ruixue and the others were different; their probability was around 20%.

What made Zhou Liming a bit tangled was that they all clearly knew which Fierce Beast’s gene they possessed, but what about himself?

Suddenly, Zhou Liming thought of his identity, an orphan… He didn’t know who his parents were, didn’t know where he was from, didn’t know if he had any relatives, everything was unknown. It was like fate; even the Fierce Beast Gene he possessed couldn’t be known. Wasn’t this the same as not knowing who his parents were?

He felt a bit gloomy and a bit sad.

Lian Ruixue continued, “Different Fierce Beast Genes and different levels also lead to different abilities, big and small, and the strength of Form Skills varies. What we are asking everyone to get familiar with today is your own Form Skill. It is our strongest means of attack and also our final trump card. The terrifying attack power represents an equally huge consumption. It does not allow us to use it infinitely.”

“How to use it reasonably in battle is what we need to get familiar with now.”
