CHAPTER 38: CHAPTER 38: FINALLY HERE, BODHI HOLY TREE, I’M COMING!

As time passed, the crimson liquid in the glass tube steadily diminished.

The crimson liquid coursed through the veins in the arm, emitting a red glow that seeped through the body, forming a conspicuous traveling network.

Strands of red light began from Zhang Xuebing’s arm, spreading upwards, flowing throughout the entire body.

"Mmm!"

Suddenly, a muffled groan of pain echoed from the experiment table as Zhang Xuebing’s body trembled unexpectedly.

Beep! Beep! Beep!

The detected data began to change, and the dozen or so surrounding instruments started to fluctuate.

Obviously, the potion was starting to take effect!

"Quick, quickly record all the relevant data!"

Director Lin’s expression changed, watching Zhang Xuebing with concern while hastily instructing the few researchers beside him.

On the experiment table, Zhang Xuebing’s teeth chattered audibly, his expression twisted, eyes filled with bloodshot lines, sweat pouring down like rain from his forehead.

Suddenly, Zhang Xuebing’s previously normal limbs began to swell slowly, veins bulging, with searing magma-like energy flowing within, emitting a red glow, and his bare upper body was covered with crimson vein patterns.

A surging heat wave constantly erupted!

Pang! Pang! Pang!

Zhang Xuebing, in unbearable agony, struggled frantically, his limbs moving continuously, pulling the metal clasps beneath him taut.

The ear-piercing noises left everyone tense, afraid to make any sound, fearing they might affect Zhang Xuebing.

Suddenly, Zhang Xuebing stopped struggling, lying still on the experiment table.

The whole laboratory fell into silence.

Another failure?

Director Lin’s eyes lit up with a flicker of hesitation, letting out a sigh.

They had failed many times, and although he was mentally prepared, still...

Crunch, crunch!

Just then, Zhang Xuebing suddenly awoke, his now stronger limbs easily breaking the metal clasps, and as he sat up, flames involuntarily rose from his body.

Blossoming flames emerged, covering Zhang Xuebing’s entire body, and the intense heat spread through the entire laboratory.

"Director Lin, does this count as a success?!"

Amidst the flames, Zhang Xuebing stretched his arms, chuckling as he spoke.

"Hahaha! It succeeded! It finally succeeded!"

Director Lin was overjoyed, almost dancing with excitement.

At this moment, the heavy burden in his heart was finally lifted, making him feel ten years younger.

"Clap, clap, clap!"

The others in the lab were also beaming with joy, applauding together to celebrate the success of the experiment.

Soon thereafter.

To test Zhang Xuebing’s extraordinary abilities.

Director Lin specially arranged for someone to create a temporary testing ground within the research institute.

Due to confidentiality concerns, there were not many people in the testing area, except for Director Lin, Zhang Xuebing, and several researchers.

"Director Lin, I’m afraid my flames can’t handle such a steel plate, right?"

The noticeably bulkier Zhang Xuebing stood by Director Lin’s side, pointing to a steel plate nearby with a wry smile.

That steel plate seemed to be five centimeters thick...

"Zhang Xuebing, your genetic potion comes from the ferocious Red Flame Lion, capable of releasing extremely high-temperature flames.

This test aims to compare your flames with those of the Red Flame Lion, to see how powerful they are!"

Director Lin smiled, speaking with anticipation.

"Let’s begin!"

Zhang Xuebing nodded, his expression turning serious as flames appeared on his body, the surrounding temperature rising as a ball of intense flame ignited in his palm.

The scorching fireball raised waves of heat, forcing Director Lin and the other ordinary people to retreat continuously, not daring to venture too close.

Whoosh!

A streak of flame shot out, its light dazzling as it crashed into the steel plate ahead.

The intense heat caused the steel plate to turn red-hot instantly, quickly deforming at the center, with molten red iron dripping down.

Sizzle, sizzle, sizzle!

Before long, the steel plate was melted through, a large hole emerging at its center.

"Yes, yes, yes! According to the data, the flames you release are already comparable to those of the Red Flame Lion! The genetic potion’s effects have met the standards!"

Director Lin beamed with satisfaction.

With the genetic potion, the greatest advantage of ferocious beasts was gone.

Genetic Warriors fighting ferocious beasts, complemented by wisdom and weapons, were virtually unbeatable.

He planned to apply for approval to have more warriors injected with the genetic potion, to build an army of Genetic Warriors to combat the beasts.

Director Lin’s heart surged with excitement, as if he could already see the dawn of victory for human Genetic Warriors over ferocious beasts.

After having others take Zhang Xuebing back.

Director Lin opened a tablet and watched a video sent from Jiang Province.

Watching the three giant tigers in the video, Director Lin’s eyes shone.

The raw materials for the genetic potion come from ferocious beasts.

The stronger the beast, the higher the grade of the genetic potion!

If they could obtain the flesh and blood of the Thunder Tiger and Black Demon Tiger, they would definitely be able to develop even more powerful genetic potions!

Especially the Black Demon Tiger, already exposed, and the Dahe City Qin Army was attempting to capture it.

This time, there was a high chance of obtaining its flesh and blood!

......

"Damn humans!"

"Someday, I’ll devour every last one of you!"

At this moment, in a forest, Fang Yuan was darting through the trees, cursing under his breath.

His shiny black fur was matted with blood grime and mud, scorched in places, making him look incredibly disheveled.

After being hunted for days and nights, Fang Yuan now had a deep, seething hatred for humans.

Anyway, Fang Yuan had made up his mind.

He decided to temporarily take his boss from the top of his hate list and place humans at the top.

From now on, humans would be his mortal enemies.

He would kill every human he encountered!

...

Su Province, Hailong City.

Changbai Mountain, majestic and grand, shrouded in Spiritual Qi, with peaks connected in chains, and snow-capped summits stood like ground sentinels wearing white helmets, towering over the land of the Great Qin Empire.

The towering main peak pierced the sky, hidden in the clouds, with mist swirling around its waist, dyed golden by sunlight, turning into streaks of color drifting between the mountains.

Beneath the mountain’s waist, a verdant scene stretched out, towering pine and cypress trees formed vast, dense forests, under the golden sunlight, like a golden-tinged green ocean, vast and full of life.

On a high slope, two giant tigers stood side by side, gazing far into the grandeur and splendor of Changbai Mountain.

"Finally here!"

Jiang Che sighed, stretching lazily, exhaling a long breath.

The days of continuous travel seemed endless, his legs felt like they would run thin...

He suddenly began to reminisce about his days in the zoo, those carefree times without a worry, eating and sleeping, sleeping and eating, how wonderful it was...

Sitting on Jiang Che’s head, Little Zi focused intently on the distant scenery, wide eyes filled with curiosity.

"Bodhi Holy Tree, here I come!"

Nangong Luo squinted, gazing at the stunning Changbai Mountain under the golden sunlight, murmuring to himself.
