CHAPTER 35: CHAPTER 33: GENETIC SHACKLES, LIFE EVOLUTION, AN ATTACK APPROACHING?

"Of course, Captain, you can just take a break nearby when the time comes; the few of us can handle it."

One team member laughed, thinking this mission was just troublesome and not very difficult.

From the many pieces of information on Lu Yuan.

Just a spoiled rich second generation with a love for antiques and arts.

"Don’t be careless." But at this time, Captain Wang shook his head directly and continued.

"We previously lost a team, and the person who acted has some skill. That guy named Lu may not be as simple as he appears; so when the time comes, follow my orders in everything."

He always felt like this task might have some unexpected events, yet he couldn’t pinpoint where this feeling came from.

He only had some suspicion that the slaughter of the previous team of three might be closely related to Lu Yuan.

"Captain Wang, I think you’re overthinking it."

Someone spoke up, "Even if that guy has some tricks, so what? We are now all the true elite cultivated by the company, and with these guys accompanying us, how can he resist?"

Saying this, he flashed the gun at his waist and a few grenades.

The Longevity Gene is immensely powerful, having significant influence both domestically and abroad.

Preparing some firearms is obviously no problem.

Several other team members nodded one after another.

They weren’t ordinary people; they had means that surpassed humanity, no longer on the same life level as average people.

"Hmm."

Captain Wang heard this and did not speak further.

Maybe he had encountered many evolving beasts along the way, making him a bit tense.

"Alright, focus on driving, and make sure to complete the task early, so the company won’t urge us." He stopped thinking about these things, urging a faster pace to complete the mission a day sooner to receive the company’s rewards.

"Yes!"

Several team members replied, advancing at full speed.

They had a relaxed attitude as if they were going to execute a task that couldn’t be simpler.

...

Suburban villa in Hu City.

Lu Yuan sat cross-legged in the courtyard, his eyes tightly shut.

Although he made no movements, strong auras emitted from him.

Inside his body, the heart thumped and vibrated loudly, audible even from afar.

Like an engine, it attracted attention.

Since swallowing the pill refined by the Meridian Heaven-Repairing Furnace, some time had passed.

At this moment, Lu Yuan had completely absorbed the energy within; he could feel each cell bursting with intense life force, possibly undergoing a certain kind of transformation.

"This is the feeling."

Lu Yuan understood, knowing he reached the limit of the Awakening Realm.

The next step was to break free from the Genetic Lock, unleash genetic potential, and evolve again.

Immediately.

He had no hesitation, focusing entirely.

Drawing the power within his cells for a deep transformation.

Reaching the Awakening Realm, one can start gradually controlling cells to cooperate with the body.

What Lu Yuan was doing now was precisely this.

With the capability from the pill.

Breaking through the Genetic Lock.

However, he understood that this process was difficult and required sufficient patience.

But soon, as Lu Yuan began exerting force.

Crack.

A sound of something breaking was heard.

A more potent force emerged from deep within the human body, then meandered through the blood vessels, organs, and every pore, feeling extremely comfortable, as if one’s entire being was soaking in a hot spring.

Simultaneously, Lu Yuan felt his strength increase once more, across all areas.

"This... did I break free from the Genetic Lock and reach the Shackles Realm?"

He opened his eyes, a bit stunned.

In his understanding.

Isn’t it said that breaking free from the Genetic Lock is incredibly difficult?

Why is it, in his case, somewhat straightforward?

This was quite unbelievable.

And as Lu Yuan prepared to investigate closely.

Crack~

Crack~

Two consecutive sounds appeared again.

The Genetic Lock was broken, freeing itself, and releasing a brand new force.

Including the previous instance, that meant three Genetic Shackles were broken.

Lu Yuan didn’t know what to say.

It should be understood that upon reaching Shackles Realm, each time breaking the Genetic Lock takes significant effort, unless there’s the assistance of special Spirit Fruit and Exotic Herbs, but in his case, this rule seemed inappropriate.

"Understood, it’s the solid foundation laid by merging numerous Divine Artifacts that raised the physique to a terrifying level."

"The reason for being able to break through the Genetic Shackles so effortlessly is largely due to this."

Finally, Lu Yuan figured it out, his expression joyful, thinking of many things.

The human body has a total of one hundred and eight shackles.

Usually, Awakened individuals open twelve to enter the next evolutionary phase.

But those with extraordinary talent or strong bloodlines would continue breaking the Genetic Shackles.

In his previous life, he once heard the highest record of breaking forty-nine Genetic Shackles.

This was already intimidating, making future evolutionary paths smooth.

Allowing one to go further.

Now.

Lu Yuan pondered if he, with his foundation and capabilities, could possibly break all one hundred and eight?

"Breaking them all, how would that be?"

He thought, his eyes brightening.

Because he knew this was absolutely possible, the chances were quite high.

"Let’s see if I can continue." Lu Yuan murmured; having already broken three shackles consecutively, continuing would surely be beneficial.

It’s just disappointing that perhaps due to the pill’s essence being exhausted.

Ultimately, he couldn’t continue breaking the Genetic Shackles.
