Chapter 166: 119, Genetic Awakening!_2

Even in a vacuum, flight was still unconstrained.

Because the flight of the Sky Dome Wings didn’t rely on flapping to generate thrust and lift, but rather on gathering and stimulating the free energy in the void to produce a counter thrust.

After all, these were energy wings, unbothered by air resistance.

Thus, even in the space environment, free soaring was still possible.

“This time, let’s not go to space,” Lin Qing decided, not wanting to fly too high just yet.

Though he possessed the Starry Sky Battle Dress, akin to a high-grade spacesuit that could sustain life functions, supply oxygen, maintain temperature, etc., not knowing much about Earth’s outer space made caution the better approach.

Immediately, Lin Qing tested the flexibility, that is, the maximum acceleration, maximum deceleration, and direction changes, and found the level of agility to be extremely high.

A life form with this kind of flying ability was simply the sovereign of the skies.

“Just the most basic flying functionality of the Sky Dome Wings is this strong?”

Lin Qing couldn’t help but marvel.

Flying was merely the most basic application.

In fact, the Sky Dome Wings encompassed integrated offensive and defensive capabilities.

He could instantaneously convert the feathers into a state of superpower material, and though he couldn’t alter their shape, the wide wings could completely envelop his body. Layered with superpower material, the feathers provided high defense and could nullify force and neutralize attacks.

Crucially, the feathers converted to superpower material in a mere instant, whereas creating superpower material himself took a slow, lengthy process.

Of course, once the feathers or the superpower material he created were formed, they were permanently fixed.

Moreover, the feathers converted into superpower material could be explosively projected like blades, with a shooting speed exceeding fifteen times the speed of sound!

Sharp and sturdy, moving at over fifteen times the speed of sound, it amounted to a broad-range mass attack.

Crucially, it was much faster than even the quickest sniper rifle bullet!

These two wings could also swing like two huge swords, with the pure energy form moving much faster even than the hand itself.

Of course, his own strength was still stronger.

But the integrated offensive and defensive capability of the Sky Dome Wings was already powerful enough.

“Time to go back for the Genetic Awakening.”

Lin Qing revealed a slight smile and used a bio-detector to check his current Genetic Optimization Index.

157.6%!

Though not reaching the 200% Genetic Optimization Index of the genius Intelligent Star People, it was close enough, and the gap due to inherent differences was narrowing.

Moreover, according to Chen Guang, the numerical size of the Genetic Optimization Index didn’t actually mean much.

What was more crucial was the variety of energies and higher-grade energies for genetic enhancement.

After flying along the Sky Track back to his fighter, Lin Qing also commanded the fighter jet to return to headquarters.

The rather desolate sea area was less than three thousand kilometers from the headquarters, and at the fighter’s speed, it would take about ten minutes to get back.

…

In the Cultivation Room.

“Genetic Awakening.”

Lin Qing sat cross-legged, the Genetic Awakening Method he had learned initially surfacing clearly in his mind.

Genetic Awakening surpassed the true Human Body Limit, key in awakening one’s genes.

It required the special ‘Awakening Energy’ of the Third Energy Level.

Previously, he needed to ante up the Genetic Awakening Method to have a chance of awakening.

Now, with a Genetic Optimization Index over 150%, which is a 150% chance of Genetic Awakening,

it was certain he could awaken.

“There’s no room for further improvement.”

Lin Qing pondered carefully for any oversights, then made a decision: “It’s time to begin the Genetic Awakening.”

Since that was the case, he would truly begin the Genetic Awakening!

Once awakened, there would be a period of rapid advancement!

Without delay, Lin Qing followed the Genetic Awakening Method, plunging his consciousness into his own body, beginning to sense the Third Energy Level’s Awakening Energy.

Before long—

Strands of strange energy from the dark void, like springs emerging silently from the ground, streamed forth and merged into his body.

His body, like a long-silent desert, rapidly absorbed this Awakening Energy.

As strands of Awakening Energy continuously surged in, some subtle parts within his body seemed to awaken, gradually becoming more active.

This activity began to gradually spread and expand.

At this moment, Lin Qing felt his consciousness touch his body for the first time so closely that he could even sense the function and aroma of each pair of genes within himself.

Which were strong, which were weak, he could tell distinctly.

“So wonderful…”

Lin Qing’s consciousness trembled subtly, a shock deep in his soul.

He did not know how much time had passed.

His body seemed to have reached a saturation point in absorbing the Awakening Energy, finally ceasing to absorb.

Then—

“Boom!”

As if a roar from deep within his soul, in that moment, Lin Qing felt his body had completely come alive, and his spirit and consciousness seemed to have merged into his flesh.

A whole new world and senses were gradually opening up.

After a few moments.

Lin Qing slowly opened his eyes and looked at the brand-new world in front of him, murmuring, “Is this what it means to be a Genetic Awakened?”

He now fully understood why all Genetic Awakened were so powerful.

Before the Genetic Awakening, even if he had mastered the original version of Combat Skill to the Instinct Level and grasped several Genetic Abilities, such strength was already formidable.

But Genetic Awakened didn’t even need Genetic Optimization; they merely needed a series of Combat Skill training to the Instinct Level, and they wouldn’t be inferior to him.

Because the human body’s limit is not the limit of the genes.

It’s like strands of hair spread out cannot lift a very heavy object, but when woven together, they can lift an even heavier object than before!

After awakening the genes within the body, the degree of self-development is significantly high.

Normally, it can restore the body to its most energy-efficient State.

Once a crisis is encountered, depending on different conditions, the genes automatically adjust their state, choosing which genes to express and which to hide.

More suitable for high speed, Power, defense, recovery, self-healing, immunity, exhibiting Combat Skill, etc., all sorts of genetic states.

If using numerical analysis, even just awakened genes, if the genetic state is well-adjusted, all aspects can reach more than three times the capacity before awakening.

And, most importantly, the human body’s limit is raised again!

The past limit of the human body was only about ten times that of an ordinary person, but now it can completely reach thirty times! Fifty times! Or even higher!

This refers to the most basic physical fitness.

Once the suitable genetic state is entered and the Genetic Ability is used, using the Instinct Level original Combat Skill, the combat power could skyrocket hundreds of times more!

As for the upper limit of basic physical fitness, it depends on the degree of gene optimization.

If it’s the most ordinary Earth people genes, never having undergone Genetic Optimization, the limit is only about twenty or thirty times that of ordinary human physical fitness.

If it’s just this physical quality, there is no hope of reaching the level of ‘Genetic Reorganization’.

After Genetic Optimization, however, the limit is much higher.

“Chen Guang, what do you think my genetic upper limit is?” Lin Qing couldn’t help but ask.

“Uncertain.”

By his side, an angelic emotionless loli observed him, “But you have three Fourth Energy Level Genetic Abilities and eight Third Energy Level Genetic Abilities, according to common algorithms…”

“The first Fourth Energy Level gene can increase the upper limit of physical fitness by twenty times that of an ordinary person, the second by ten times, and the third only increases the limit by five times.”

“The Third Energy Level is the same, the first gene increases the upper limit of physical fitness by eight times, the second by four times, and from the third one onwards, they all only double.”

“Additionally, considering the genetic upper limit of Earth people themselves.”

Chen Guang analyzed, “Based on these calculations, the upper limit of your physical fitness should be about eighty or ninety times that of an ordinary person.”

She paused, then added, “But you have also developed two core genes from the Heavenly Orb Monarch Bloodline, which will have a significant additional boost to the genetic upper limit. I can’t specify how much, but I estimate the total might reach more than a hundred times that of an ordinary person.”

“A hundred times more?”

Lin Qing couldn’t help but smile, “So when I progress to the limit, my basic physical fitness will be more than ten times what it is now?”
