"Is it really that magical?"

Chen Feng asked curiously, reaching his right hand toward his left wrist as a light screen suddenly materialized.

"Hum—"

The black wristband vibrated slightly, a surge of energy circulating through his body before quickly returning to the band, and new data appeared on the light screen.

Gene Attributes: Strength: 10 Agility: 10 Constitution: 10 Spirit: 30 Current Status: Stamina: 10/10 (1 point of Constitution increases stamina cap by 1) Mental Power: 30/30 (1 point of Spirit increases mental power cap by 1) Gene Ability: Wind Blade: Dance within the gale, use your spirit to condense an array, and release a blade of wind to deal a certain amount of damage. There is a very small chance (initially estimated at 5%) to trigger a mutation and release consecutive Wind Blades. General Abilities: Low-Level Fighting Technique, possesses a certain degree of lethality. (Determined based on your muscle memory and mental memory matched against the memory database. This data is stored on the wristband chip; to ensure your safety, it cannot connect to the internet. Please update regularly to ensure data accuracy.) Special Ability: Luck Aura, consumes Luck Value stored within the Stone of Destiny to significantly boost Fortune for a short period. Remaining Luck Value: 10 points. (The Stone of Destiny absorbs world energy to condense power; based on the current world assessment, 1 point of Luck Value can be obtained every hour on average.)

This was his digitized self!

The base attributes used the raw power of a human as a single unit, clearly displaying everyone's status. It was truly magical, but what really caught Chen Feng's attention was the final special ability.

"Luck Aura?"

Chen Feng was surprised.

He had thought the Stone of Destiny had vanished, but he never expected it to have fused with him!

Seeing that only 10 points of Luck Value remained, Chen Feng guessed what had happened. When the library collapsed and he was on the verge of death, all the Luck Value stored within the Stone of Destiny had erupted, bringing him to this world.

"Is this your power?"

Chen Feng muttered to himself.

The Stone of Destiny, where fortune and misfortune are intertwined.

He had lived through a life of extreme bad luck, but in this life, perhaps he could carve out a new path!

However, why was he here?

"Let me take a look."

Chen Feng skipped over the messy details in the original owner's memories and looked directly at the person himself, immediately seeing a very inspirational story.

His name was Chen Feng, a native of Jin City and an orphan.

He lost his parents at a young age, but his grades were excellent. Relying on scholarships, he fought his way into a key high school to study gene courses. In high school, he mastered a gene ability and several techniques, entered the honors class, and became the "other people's child" that many parents constantly praised to their own kids.

If there hadn't been an accident, he would have likely soared all the way to become a rare case of a poor person turning their life around!

However, reality is often cruel. On the final day of the college entrance exam, he should have been in the exam hall, but instead, he was thrown into the sea to feed the sharks...

As for the reason?

The original owner probably couldn't have figured it out even if he died trying, but as Chen Feng flipped through the memories, he guessed it.

The top university in the world, the Gene Production Department at Qingbei University, only accepted one student from Jin City. Since the original owner was a top student whose goal had always been that major, did it even need to be said?

He had blocked someone's path.

"Poor kid."

Chen Feng offered a moment of silence for him. The original owner, who spent most of his time working and studying, clearly had a negative emotional intelligence and had been schemed against without even realizing it.

"If I had arrived earlier, it would never have been this tragic."

Chen Feng said confidently.

However...

Hmm...

He always felt like something was a bit off.

A top student?

No... hmm... wait!

Chen Feng suddenly thought of something, and a sense of dread washed over him.

A shark?!

Thrown into the sea to feed the sharks?

"Damn it!"

Chen Feng finally realized where the problem lay.

"Boom!"

The entire cave suddenly shook.

The solid ground began to tremble, and the surrounding walls slowly writhed. Strange mucus began to secrete from the surfaces, and Chen Feng's expression changed drastically.

To hell with this!

Chen Feng suddenly recalled something.

According to the memories of the original owner before his death and the data provided by the Wristband, this was a Mutated Black Sea Shark, a psychic-type Mutated Beast! The moment it swallowed the original owner, it had directly destroyed all of his consciousness and soul, leaving behind an empty shell, which was how Chen Feng had luckily transmigrated into this body.

And this place...

It wasn't a cave at all; he was inside the shark!

"Boom!"

"Boom!"

The entire rock wall vibrated.

Chen Feng pressed himself tightly against one side of the wall.

"Boom!"

The rumbling continued incessantly.

The Mutated Black Sea Shark seemed to be waking up. Chen Feng, trapped inside its body, felt as if the whole world had turned upside down, and that strange liquid was secreting continuously.

Chen Feng had just tossed a piece of clothing inside to test it, and the fabric had dissolved instantly.

Now, that liquid was flowing out from the surrounding crevices, surging toward him.

"This won't do."

Chen Feng took a deep breath.

Although he didn't know exactly where he was, he guessed it was likely the stomach of the Mutated Black Sea Shark. There were no exits, and the only entrance was likely back up the esophagus, but that was blocked by even more mucus. Attempting to force his way through there would be a death sentence!

"What should I do?"

Chen Feng forced himself to calm down.

With no exit and the entrance sealed, his only option was to force his way out.

Gene Warriors of this era were incredibly strong; one unit of strength was equivalent to the power of an unenhanced human, and Chen Feng had a full ten points in both strength and agility!

Ten times the strength and agility, perhaps...

"Boom!"

Chen Feng threw a fierce punch.

"Hiss—"

Chen Feng gasped, a sharp pain shooting through his hand. The stomach wall he had struck showed no reaction at all. Yes, Chen Feng's strength was high, but in this Gene Era, the physical constitution of such Mutated Beasts—especially giant ones like sharks—was outrageously tough!

"This won't work."

Chen Feng looked at another skill in his Digitization PanelWind Blade.

Gene Ability was the hallmark of a Gene Warrior in this era.

Only by mastering a Gene Ability could one be considered a true Gene Warrior, and psychic-type Gene Warriors were undoubtedly the most mysterious and powerful! Therefore, psychic-type genes were extremely expensive. The original owner had exhausted all his scholarships just to barely afford this bottom-tier psychic Gene Reagent.

Wind Blade...

Compared to other psychic-type genes, this Gene Ability was pathetic!

But for now, he had no choice but to try.

"With 30 units of spirit, I hope you don't let me down."

Chen Feng took a deep breath.

Wind Blade!

"Hum—"

A mysterious power surged from within Chen Feng's body, condensing in the void. A brilliant blue arc of a Light Blade bloomed and slashed fiercely forward.

"Pfft!"

With a soft sound, the Wind Blade vanished, leaving a bloody crater on the stomach wall.

"Awoo—"

A deafening roar erupted, followed by violent tremors. The interior of the stomach underwent Earth-shattering Changes, and Chen Feng was nearly pierced by the strange, splashing liquid.

"This isn't looking good."

Chen Feng glanced at the pit of blood.

His most powerful ability could only inflict minor injuries; it was completely incapable of shaking this massive Mutated Black Sea Shark! This was not an opponent in his weight class at all!

Even though he was currently inside the Mutated Black Sea Shark! Right in its most vulnerable spot!

Damn it, was he really going to die here just after transmigrating?

Chen Feng looked at the data displayed on his Wristband. He still had 10 points of Luck Value, but he didn't think this ability could keep him alive. In the face of absolute strength, luck sometimes...

Wait.

Chen Feng suddenly froze.

He looked closely at the Luck Aura, then at the Wind Blade, and finally stopped at the ability description for Wind Blade: "Has a very small chance (estimated at 5% initially) to trigger a mutation and release the Wind Blade again."

Consecutive releases?

5%?

Because the probability was so low, Chen Feng had subconsciously ignored it just now.

The reason was simple: if it took a 5% chance to achieve a double-tap, then what about three consecutive hits? 0.25%! As for four or five? It was even lower! Plus, the power of the Wind Blade itself was mediocre, which was why the original owner's fusion of this gene had such a low rating, but...

What if he combined it with the Luck Aura?

Chen Feng's heart stirred.

He still had 10 points of Luck Value, which should be enough to sustain the Luck Aura for a while. During the duration of the Luck Aura, what kind of power would the Wind Blade erupt with?

He was looking forward to it!
