Chapter 82: Another Try At Gene Mastery

Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios

When a person was too beautiful or handsome, many people would naturally praise them. No matter what they did, their fans would see them in a positive light.

This was especially true for Lin Yao, who had his own special effects. Thanks to these special effects, he was not only good-looking, but he could also ease people’s bodies and minds. Hence, they viewed him in a positive light.

However, those girls were right. Lin Yao had quickly left the crowd because they had delayed his cultivation.

After putting everything behind him and running back to the campus, Lin Yao did not go to class. Instead, he went to the school training ground. After drinking a nutrition drink, he got into position under the rising sun and began to practice military boxing.

Although thunder and lightning could develop his body quickly, Lin Yao would not stop at this practice.

Training might be boring, but his cells were filled with light energy, so Lin Yao was fully charged and energetic. He worked hard to practice while he improved bit by bit. Lin Yao relished this feeling of improving and becoming stronger and was immersed in punching and boxing.

However, while he was exercising, he did not realize that due to his perfect physique and handsome face, there was something beautiful about the ordinary military boxing he was practicing.

The aesthetic perception of his boxing was very attractive to the opposite gender. This was similar to a beauty whose looks scored nine points or above (10 points being the highest) and who danced in the street. People could not help but look at her.

Adults would not lose themselves, as they had responsibilities. However, teenagers were not the same. They had raging hormones, so they could not help but stop to watch.

Fortunately, this was a training ground. Ordinary students could not come here during their classes, and the super-geniuses in the training ground were more reserved and would not easily approach Lin Yao. This was why he was able to practice without being disturbed.

During the immersive training, Lin Yao could not help but recall the electric current flowing inside his body when he had undergone electric shock development yesterday.

The two other talented young men who had developed their thunderous talent yesterday would feel endless pain if they recalled this, which would cause them to collapse on the ground, trembling in pain.

However, Lin Yao had already overcome this pain yesterday. This was why he did not feel any pain. He only remembered the stimulation of the electric current flowing through his body.

This kind of stimulation was useless to ordinary people. However, Lin Yao had Heavenly Thunder Manipulation and a thunderous vital energy seed within him, which resulted in a mutation.

As Lin Yao recalled the feelings he had experienced yesterday, the thunderous vital energy seed within him inexplicably released a trace of energy, which turned into a weak electric current, stimulating Lin Yao’s muscles and cells.

Since it was the same source of energy, this stimulation brought about the comfort of being electrocuted instead of causing him pain. Waves of stimulation washed over Lin Yao’s body and mind. His boxing techniques started to become messy, and he would tremble from time to time.

It seemed that Lin Yao could not hold on anymore. However, if a real powerhouse watched him, they would discover that whenever Lin Yao’s body trembled as if it was being electrocuted, there would be a slight change in his boxing method. The change was not apparent, but this boxing method was more suitable for Lin Yao’s body. It was as if this boxing method had not been created by the country for all the people in China, but had been specially created for Lin Yao.

After another round of violent tremors, a clicking sound was heard from Lin Yao’s body. It started from Lin Yao’s legs, reached his back through his waist, and then moved from his back to his arms.

That was the accumulation of power. It was only a pity that, unlike the sound produced by a bunch of firecrackers, this sound was intermittent. In the end, Lin Yao merely gathered 70% of his energy, instead of all his energy, in his punch.

However, a punch with 70% of his energy still resulted in a loud booming sound in the air.

Unfortunately, after delivering the punch, Lin Yao suddenly collapsed on the ground. He had also just woken up from the immersive practice.

Due to the electric current stimulation, Lin Yao felt tired and had muscle aches after only 10 practice sessions.

He was not disappointed with his performance. Instead, he seemed surprised.

‘There is actually a ringing sound. Although this is not Vibrating Muscles Tiger-Panther Rumbling Thunder, it also shows that I am close to achieving full-body control. Even though I did not acquire these abilities in the research institute, I actually learned them on my own… No, my breakthrough opportunity is still a result of the electric current of the research institute. Does that mean that the so-called electric shock development has to be combined with general training?’

This was Lin Yao’s conjecture. After giving it some thought, he felt that he must be right. It was impossible to nurture a real powerhouse solely based on the development provided by the research institute. One had to go through development and practice to improve tremendously.

After checking his realm, Lin Yao confirmed his guess even further.

He remembered clearly that when there had been no electric current stimulation, his physical development progress had been Iron Person 1%. After an electric shock ran through his body, he progressed by 3% to 4%.

Then, he endured physical pain to complete his training. It would be very effective to train his body after receiving an electric shock, as his physical development progress had reached 5%. He had made great progress today despite only having 10 rounds of military boxing practice.

The reason why he’d only practiced for 10 rounds was that there was electric current stimulation as well. Lin Yao was in fact training during the electric current development. Thus, he was able to integrate the boxing method into himself and the efficiency of the training was very high as a result.

After he practiced 10 times, Lin Yao’s physical progress increased by 1% again, reaching 6%.

One should not underestimate a 1% improvement. Ordinary people could only achieve this in a month.

‘It is totally different to understand the mere basics of a boxing method and to be able to integrate it. The former could only result in small improvement, while the latter could result in fundamental changes to the boxing method. The only shortcoming is that such training consumes a lot of energy.’

The immersive boxing practice, especially his trembling body while the electric current passed through him, helped train all the cells in Lin Yao’s body. Of course, the tremors also resulted in a large drain of his physical strength. With the Armored Body Of Light, Lin Yao was able to store an abundant amount of solar power in his body. After drinking nutrition drinks, he was able to practice for 10 rounds of military boxing. As for Di Qiang, it would be good enough if he could practice military boxing three times.

With that thought in mind, Lin Yao looked at Di Qiang, who was also exercising in the training ground. He noticed that he had drunk five bottles of nutrition drink in one go. During the training, his abdomen was constantly squirming, and he was able to last for five sessions.

‘Perhaps full-body control can accelerate the energy absorption? No, he must have a special absorption technique. It is a pity that this is too resource-intensive.’

Lin Yao had only drunk two bottles of nutrition drink during the exercise just now, while Di Qiang had drunk five bottles in one go. Di Qiang had consumed many more resources.

Despite using fewer resources, Lin Yao had practiced military boxing for five more rounds. Lin Yao could not help but be amazed by the sunlight absorption ability.

‘This is good news for the poor. I’ve always believed that although this is a basic ability, it is just as good as Heavenly Thunder Manipulation and Good and Evil Distinguishment.’

In the meantime, Lin Yao also discovered that there were areas he was still lacking in and things he was not as good as Di Qiang at. He had not fully undergone the electric shock stimulation to unlock the gene lock. He could tell from the intermittent thunderous sounds that came from his body.

Besides, his training could benefit his entire body only when there was electricity.

However, Di Qiang was able to constantly train his whole body while punching. Although he only practiced for five rounds, he was able to reach and even surpass Lin Yao’s development progress.

Lin Yao was not concerned. He knew the way to improve. As long as he worked hard, he would eventually master the neuro-electricity-stimulated opening of the gene lock. Besides, not only could he last longer than Di Qiang, but he could recover faster than him.

While he was watching Di Qiang as he practiced military boxing, the sun was shining from the sky, constantly refilling the energy that Lin Yao had consumed, allowing him to quickly regain his strength.

His muscles were sore from training, but they were no longer as sore thanks to the Light Healing effect.

‘As men, we have to move fiercely, last longer, and recover quickly.’
