The No Mistake Sword Net wielded sword light after sword light, weaving into a curtain that staunchly protected Wang Qi's entire body. This represented a pinnacle of swordsmanship; within three-dimensional space, there was simply no swordsmanship more complete than this. Yet Ai Qinglan's double-helix whips managed to ingeniously break through this exquisite swordsmanship, holding Wang Qi at a deadlock!

Furthermore, Wang Qi could feel the whips' transformations continuing to proliferate, even vaguely surpassing his own momentum! With each tearing and restructuring, the whips became increasingly powerful.

The replication of genetic information has never been precise. Genes are simply too small, too susceptible to damage.

High-energy particles emitted by constant stars can interfere with the replication of biological chromosomes several astronomical units away.

Natural toxins like colchicine can also disrupt this process, inducing genetic mutations.

Retroviruses can arbitrarily insert their own genetic information into the genetic material of their hosts. Just during evolution, humans have been forcibly imbued with countless foreign gene segments.

Within these "changes," harmful ones are eliminated, neutral ones are retained, and beneficial ones are accentuated. This is "evolution."

Every time Wang Qi tore apart Ai Qinglan's whip, it repeated this process.

But the more they fought, the more alarmed Wang Qi became, "This isn't scientific! Evolution isn't a precise process; mistakes are highly likely... And if I just change my swordsmanship style, she should be unable to keep up with the changes... Why is she getting stronger faster than I can change my sword momentum? Could this be the 'Vein Spirit Root'?"

He was not wrong; this was indeed the "Vein Spirit Root," a divine skill used for editing and transcribing the Bloodline Spirit Rhinoceros within the Bloodline Root.

To explain in Earth's terms, it was an ability to edit and transcribe genetic information in the DNA double helix! On an even larger scale, it could twist chromosomal expression.

Ai Qinglan could use this divine skill to directly edit genetic information, alter biological characteristics, or unleash telomeres, causing normal cells to become cancerous in an instant. Or change her own chromosomal expression, allowing herself to transform rapidly.

Naturally, she could also rapidly remove harmful genetic factors and preserve beneficial ones.

And this whip was the product of the superimpositions of multiple divine skills like Life Flame, Qi Vein Root, and Vein Spirit Root. The highly ordered power of Life Flame gave the whip its form, the characteristic of the Qi Vein Root to manipulate Spiritual Energy bolstered its might, and the Vein Spirit Root granted the whip its ever-changing properties.

"Tsk tsk, impressive, junior brother, to be at a standstill with me for several seconds," Ai Qinglan glanced at Wang Qi from the corner of her eye and curved her lips into a smile, "But I've remembered your sword qi, now lie down obediently for senior sister!"

Without even turning her head, Ai Qinglan had three more whips extend from behind her. These three whips were all specialized according to Wang Qi's sword qi and swordsmanship, aimed specifically at Wang Qi's power!

Snap! Wang Qi himself was struck head-on by a siege hammer, its bizarre force attacking all parts of the sword net, then seeping through. Without a moment's reaction time, he was whipped away and smashed through a wall.

Throughout the whole process, Ai Qinglan didn't even look directly at Wang Qi.

As Ai Qinglan turned her head and glanced at Wang Qi from the corner of her eye, Chen Feng had already launched his full power. Intense white light burst from his eyes, fully unfolding his Soul Power. The formidable Soul Power even produced terrifying audiovisual effects in the air. Ai Qinglan initially thought it was an illusion technique, as no Foundation Establishment Stage cultivator could have such strong Soul Power, not even if they had Life Flame to save their life or used the Two-Injuring Technique to burn their soul. Yet, the quantity was still staggeringly surprising.

In the next moment, Ai Qinglan found herself in an actual illusion.

"Courthouse?" Ai Qinglan laughed with a snort, "Xiao Feng, have you been a Law Enforcement Officer so long you've gone mad? This kind of illusion, it seems..."

Chen Feng didn't care what Ai Qinglan was saying and lunged forward with a punch.

Soul Power connected like bridges, linking their spirits as one. Then, Chen Feng threw another punch. His Martial Arts Fist Intent flowed along the bridges he had built, plunging straight into Ai Qinglan's mind.

This time, Ai Qinglan saw multitudes of tangible "laws" bearing down on her!

Heavenly Dao is distant, Human Dao is near, unreachable!

It wasn't simulating the natural order of all things under heaven and earth; it was pure Human Dao thoughts, a flood of Human Dao!

"Oops, oops!" Facing this strike, Ai Qinglan finally felt a bit uncomfortable.

Law is the foundation of order, and the evolution of life naturally progresses toward a higher degree of organization. And humanity, this kind of life form, is the epitome of such high order. Human consciousness is the embodiment of this systematic order. Therefore, unless one is among the rare anti-social personalities, there is an innate aspiration for order within the human heart. Even if the conscious mind rebels, the subconscious maintains a sliver of reverence for laws and other established conventions.

Moreover, this is one of the results of Chen Feng and Wang Qi's research into the Human Dao System; they extracted thoughts and strength directly from the system, unleashing abilities they were currently incapable of. As a Law Enforcement Officer, Chen Feng is inherently part of the Law System. Hence, wherever the spirit of the law extends, he can wield such power!

Even a mischievous child like Ai Qinglan must retreat when faced with this punch representing the Human Dao Order.

But it was just retreating.

"To contend with Martial Arts Fist Intent, the best method is to maintain self-confidence," said Ai Qinglan with a jade-like voice, then she counterattacked with a punch, "I haven't committed any crime, why should you grab me?"

The surging punch, mixed with the strength of the spirit, dissipated the illusion.

In this world, there is still a "reality" that even "illusions" cannot withstand.

And indeed, Ai Qinglan truly felt she had nothing to reproach herself with.

Chen Feng was once again pushed back by Ai Qinglan's formidable strength. He grunted, his eyes tightly shut, retreating repeatedly. Ai Qinglan felt his Spiritual Sense scatter and took a couple of steps forward, intending to help, "Xiao Feng, I've said before... huh?"

Ai Qinglan suddenly felt a terrifying sharp intent behind her. She quickly turned around, only to see a streak of Sword Light. A whip made of Life Flame, white in color, tried to intervene, but this was the Mysterious Uncertainty Cloud Sword—when one perceived the attack, it was already too late to dodge, there was no escape!

Wang Qi didn't hold back, as the Sword Light drilled through Ai Qinglan's brow, breaking her skull, with a bit of dark red blood mixed with some pale traces spraying out.

Watching Ai Qinglan's head tilt back and then fall, Wang Qi was somewhat panic-stricken, but upon hearing Ai Qinglan's cry of pain, Chen Feng suddenly lunged forward, his hands bringing forth countless afterimages, aiming at the acupoints all over Ai Qinglan's body. Wang Qi, at a loss, instinctively followed up with Chen Feng and slashed down with his sword.

"Ow, ow, it hurts!" Ai Qinglan's head had been penetrated, her brain destroyed, but her spirit remained as ever. The only proof of her brain damage was her unclear speech just now. A trickle of blood flowed down the wound, covered by the White Flame. Simultaneously, Ai Qinglan's left hand stopped Chen Feng's, while her right hand caught Wang Qi's long sword between two fingers.

How strong was Wang Qi at this moment? Even without using mana, he could crush rocks barehanded. Chen Feng, a cultivator from Tianling Ridge, had physical strength surpassing Wang Qi's with the protection of mana. However, using just one hand and two fingers, Ai Qinglan was able to block both attacks at the same time!

Wang Qi and Chen Feng's attacks were simply disregarded by Ai Qinglan. Apart from the Martial Arts Boxing Intent supported by the Human Dao System and the power of the Mysterious Uncertainty Cloud Sword, all other attacks had zero effect on her. Even the Martial Arts Fist Intent deployed by Chen Feng with the help of the Law System was considered "somewhat interesting" by Ai Qinglan. Wang Qi's Mysterious Uncertainty Cloud Sword did indeed dazzle, but the actual damage it caused...

Ai Qinglan's wounds had already fully healed. She threw off Chen Feng and Wang Qi, then pointing at Wang Qi, she exclaimed, "Junior brother, the Mysterious Uncertainty Cloud Sword, huh! Is this really the Mysterious Uncertainty Cloud Sword? Oh wow! I've only seen it once from that lady at Mysterious Palace! Is it really that move? Seriously?" As she spoke, her hands didn't stop moving, and she summoned another seven double helix whips lashing towards Wang Qi.

"It is..." Wang Qi replied, struggling. Ever since Ai Qinglan realized that Wang Qi was about to use the Mysterious Uncertainty Cloud Sword, she extended her whips to tightly entwine around his sword. Her perception was attached to these whips. As soon as Quantum Sword Qi appeared, it would collapse before unfolding upon observation. The Quantum Cloud Sword Qi couldn't cover her body; it could at most break the whips.

Meanwhile, Chen Feng too found himself in a tough fight. In close combat, he was utterly suppressed by Ai Qinglan. Her bare hands gently floated about, touching and going, yet every touch landed precisely where his mana circulated crucially. Chen Feng was terrified but unable to do anything.

Compared to earlier, she had become just a bit more serious. It was like a big kid overpowering a little kid out of pure brute strength. Chen Feng and Wang Qi, each could sweep across their own level, and even against Modern Golden Core, they might stand a chance. But to Ai Qinglan, fighting these two 'little brothers' remained purely playful.

The only thing noteworthy was that one little brother held a needle that hurt quite a bit when he poked with it, and that was all.

Chen Feng grew more depressed as the fight went on, his morale dropping lower and lower. As soon as Wang Qi's first Indeterminate Cloud Sword failed to take effect, Chen Feng knew there was no hope for victory. Thus, he stepped back, bowing his head, "Sister Lan, Wang Qi, let's stop here. I concede."

Ai Qinglan immediately retracted her whips, and Wang Qi also sheathed his sword. Ai Qinglan patted Chen Feng on the head and chuckled, "Xiao Feng, you knew you two stood no chance, right? Really now..."

Wang Qi, observing the colors oozing out of the blood proteins and brain lipids on Ai Qinglan's face, asked nervously, "Senior Sister Ai... um, are you alright now?"

Ai Qinglan nonchalantly wiped her face, "Ah, this? No worries at all. As long as it's not like before, cutting through the brain nerves while injuring the soul, I feel no pain at all—by the way, I've already modified the ion channels in my nervous system, so there's no pain signal anymore!"

Chen Feng was astounded, "How can you do that! Sister Lan, pain is one of the most important protective mechanisms for oneself..."

Ai Qinglan hugged Chen Feng and teased, "Oh my, Xiao Feng, you know the Life Flame art too, right? You should understand, what's fatal to ordinary cultivators is nothing more than a trifle to me. Pain just gets in the way of my performance..." With that, Ai Qinglan's lips curled into a mischievous smile, as she whispered in Chen Feng's ear, "That includes 'that aspect'. If you have any improper thoughts, I can totally accept them..."

Chen Feng blushed and stepped back. On the other side, Wang Qi sighed at just how tomboyish his senior sister was. Pain was indeed a self-protection mechanism; muscles would feel pain before reaching their limit to prevent injury; meridians would also ache from absorbing a certain amount of Spiritual Energy to ensure the safety of a cultivator. But Ai Qinglan possessed Life Flame, which could heal muscle strains or burst meridians in a blink of an eye.

Ai Qinglan patted her chest, "So you two get it, right! Now, the only thing that can hinder my fighting is my maiden heart!"(To be continued.
