Who Was the Monster?

Boom!

A terrifying force began to surge, and Chen Feng nearly coughed up blood.

It was too powerful!

This genetic power was far too powerful!

Chen Feng himself was too weak, and the extreme disparity in attributes nearly made him unable to endure it. Every muscle in his body trembled, shaking like a sieve. His body was being remade, and the immense pain almost made him pass out.

Improvement was not always pleasant.

So this was the unknown danger?

Chen Feng gritted his teeth. Before, each attribute had only increased by one or two points, three at most! He had never imagined that an increase of dozens of attribute points at once would be this terrifying!

Pfft!

He spat out another mouthful of blood.

Chen Feng felt as though his body was being tortured, as if it were on fire.

So this is what they mean by a strong will and physical endurance?

He had to endure it!

Endure!

Endure!

Chen Feng roared inwardly, veins bulging all over his body.

The hardships of his previous life had made Chen Feng more resolute than ever at this moment. As long as he held on, this time he would truly strike it rich! He had to hold on!

If he failed...

Then all his efforts would be wasted!

This was a rare opportunity, and Chen Feng absolutely did not want to waste it.

Boom!

Boom!

Thunderous rumbles echoed through his body.

Blood seeped from the corner of Chen Feng's mouth, yet he continued to force himself to endure.

However, when the Gene Enhancement was only halfway complete, a familiar voice appeared, making Chen Feng's heart sink to rock bottom. "Finally found you."

Mutated Human!

Chen Feng's mind jolted. He had actually come!

Before him—

The Mutated Human appeared.

Nearly a hundred Wind Foxes surrounded him, glaring at him greedily.

"Gene Enhancement?"

The Mutated Human sneered. "Weak human!"

"Heh."

"You humans believe yourselves to be the rulers, but in the future, this will ultimately become the world of us Mutated Humans. We Mutated Humans are far stronger than you!"

"Now..."

The Mutated Human looked greedily at Chen Feng. "You are mine."

Damn it.

Chen Feng sensed trouble.

He had calculated that the Mutated Human might return, but he had not expected Gene Enhancement to be this painful! Absorbing genes far beyond his own strength was actually this terrifying! And the Gene Enhancement process took so long!

"You'll thank me."

The Mutated Human placed his hand on Chen Feng's chest.

Squelch!

The claws on his hand sank deep into Chen Feng's flesh.

"Now!"

"Let me devour your power!"

The Mutated Human grinned viciously.

Bzzzz—

A force spilled out from his body. He actually intended to forcibly devour Chen Feng's genes and make them part of himself—and devour them while Chen Feng was still alive!

Damn it.

Veins bulged across Chen Feng's body.

He wanted to move.

But he could not move at all.

The Wind Fox Leader was simply too powerful. Until his Gene Enhancement was complete, all he could do was endure! Under such immense pain, it was already impressive that he had not passed out.

Was he going to die here?

Chen Feng's eyes widened. He refused to accept this!

Gene Enhancement...

Chen Feng suddenly thought of something.

Luck Aura, activate!

Speed up the Gene Enhancement!

However—

It was useless!

If it could not be sped up, then let all the Gene Enhancements in his body proceed separately. Prioritize completing part of it first—even if it was just one hand!

Chen Feng roared inwardly.

Whoosh!

His Luck Value plummeted!

1 point, 2 points, 3 points...

Luck Aura had always taken Chen Feng's will as its target, but something like Gene Enhancement could not be changed even with ten thousand points of Luck Value! Yet as his Luck Value was consumed, the originally random Gene Enhancement process unexpectedly began proceeding in an orderly fashion.

First came his fingers.

Chen Feng's index and middle fingers completed their enhancement at that instant!

It worked!

Chen Feng was ecstatic.

The order of Gene Enhancement could actually be changed.

This had originally been a collision between two identical genes, like pouring two liquids into the same container. Such genetic collisions were fundamentally impossible to control! But now, because of the Luck Aura, they arranged themselves in perfect order and began enhancing in an orderly manner!

Even—

The pain had lessened somewhat.

His fingers could move.

Chen Feng forcibly suppressed his excitement.

Even though this single brief step had consumed a full 10 points of Luck Value! Even though the little Luck Value he had left was now nearly depleted.

The cost was enormous!

And at this moment.

The Mutated Human was extracting Chen Feng's genes.

He seemed to already see Chen Feng's genes being forcibly absorbed into his body and becoming part of him. Then he too would be able to fire a hundred shots in a row, a thousand shots in a row, and forge a legend! Yet at that instant, he suddenly noticed that Chen Feng's wrist, which should have been utterly incapable of moving, trembled slightly.

"You can move?"

The Mutated Human was stunned.

Gene Enhancement!

Especially when fusing such high-intensity genes—how could one possibly move before it was complete?

Wait!

The Mutated Human suddenly remembered something, and his expression changed drastically. If Chen Feng could move, then didn't that mean...

At that instant, he seemed to see a smile curl across the human's lips. Then he saw a series of Wind Blades erupt without warning!

Pfft!

Pfft!

Every Wind Blade pierced through his chest without the slightest pause!

He was already severely injured. He had only come before Chen Feng for the Gene Enhancement and had not taken any precautions at all. Chen Feng then turned him into a sieve!

"You..."

The Mutated Human's eyes bulged wide.

Blood flowed.

"How could this be?"

The Mutated Human blankly touched his chest, his hand coming away bright red.

He looked at that human. That guy was still undergoing Gene Enhancement!

Hahahahahahahahaha.

The Mutated Human laughed silently, tears streaming down his face.

Gene Enhancement could actually still move?

He even had more Wind Blades than him?

Just what kind of monster was he facing? Compared to a Mutated Human like himself, this human was the real monster, wasn't he?

Thud!

He fell, filled with unwillingness.

And at that moment, with the Mutated Human's death, the hundred or so Wind Foxes around them howled and glared fiercely at Chen Feng, seemingly ready to charge. Chen Feng's fingers twitched slightly.

Boom!

Wind Blades danced through the air.

Whoosh!

Whoosh!

Dozens of Wind Blades spun.

Chen Feng's Gene Enhancement had yet to be completed, but his mental strength had already improved considerably. Against these ordinary Wind Foxes, he utterly crushed them!

Pfft! Pfft!

Several Wind Foxes fell one after another.

Seeing that things had gone wrong, the remaining Wind Foxes immediately scattered. Without the Wind Fox Leader and without the Mutated Human leader, these solitary Wind Foxes had no chance of uniting.

The Wind Foxes fled, leaving behind corpse after corpse.

The ground was a complete mess.

Only Chen Feng had survived.

And by now, his Luck Value had dwindled to just 5 points!

"Heh."

Chen Feng forced a difficult grin.

He had survived!

But—

This was only the beginning!

Because at this moment, his Gene Enhancement had also reached its final stage.

Crack!

Crack!

His bones were transforming.

Chen Feng gritted his teeth and endured it all, drenched in sweat.

The orderly Gene Enhancement process had returned to its previous state after he shut off the Luck Aura, and the pain he endured had reached its peak. It wasn't that he couldn't use it; he simply didn't dare. Using a single hand had consumed 10 points of Luck Value—what could 5 points change?

It couldn't change anything!

In that case, he might as well continue enduring this pain.

In this place fraught with danger, Chen Feng didn't dare waste even a single point of Luck Value. Still, the fact that he could think at a time like this—wasn't that impressive?

Eh, why was I thinking about that?

Chen Feng felt that his thoughts had already become muddled.

Those three idiots from Black Cloud Continent who tried to assassinate him seemed to have disappeared... Could it be that after he shut them down, they realized selling blood essence was pretty profitable, so they changed careers?

He wondered if that bald guy Xu Fei's brain would ever grow hair again.

Could that little girl Su Jin possibly like him? But he wasn't into that type.

Hmm...

Actually, Wang Yao wasn't bad. She was a little young, but she seemed to have breasts.

Right.

What was her relationship with Wang Yue?

His little sister?

Ha, if Mu Yuan found out about this, he would definitely nag him for not listening to him again, wouldn't he?

He wondered whether that old bastard Xie Kangzhong had been caught after escaping.

All sorts of strange thoughts flashed through Chen Feng's mind.

He felt as though his mind had turned to mush, but he did not stop himself from letting his thoughts wander, because it seemed like doing so lessened the pain a little.

His vision had already blurred. Chen Feng forced himself to stay awake; with every wave of pain, he could feel himself growing stronger.

This was improvement!

This was a benefit!

He absolutely could not pass out!

Chen Feng warned himself inwardly.

Just then, as if they had sensed Chen Feng's aura, several weak F-Class Mutated Beasts actually turned to look in his direction, their eyes gleaming with ferocity.
