Snowy Night, Chapter 16: B1 Gene Potion (Part 2)

"When should I take this B1 Gene Potion, now?" Li Yang asked.

Hearing this, the old man with the white beard immediately said, "No, no, no, of course not now. There are many things to pay attention to when taking the B1 Gene Potion. First of all, the stronger the physique of the user, the greater the chance of survival, and the more energy will be increased in the future."

Li Yang frowned slightly, not understanding what the old man with the white beard meant.

Seeing this, the old man with the white beard explained in detail, "The increased physical energy for those who successfully take the B1 Gene Potion varies. The lowest is only two to three thousand crystal energy, and the highest is six to seven thousand crystal energy. Those who gain the most physical energy were also the strongest physically in the past."

Suddenly, the old man with the white beard sighed, "It's a pity that the physiques of the past death row inmates were not strong enough. The strongest one was only thirty crystals!"

The old man with the white beard then smiled, "So I'm arranging for these death row inmates to train first, to train like crazy, and then take the B1 Gene Potion after improving their physiques. The second floor of my base is specifically for their training. I'll have them train first. There are thirteen death row inmates training now, and the strongest one among them already has over fifty crystals of physical energy. Although you have over seventy crystals now, I still hope you train for a while longer. The higher the physical energy, the better!"

Li Yang finally understood what the old man with the white beard meant.

"You want me to train for a longer period of time before taking the B1 Gene Potion, right?" A smile appeared on Li Yang's lips.

The old man with the white beard nodded, "Yes, I really want to know how much physical energy would be increased if a master with over one hundred crystals of physical energy took the B1 Gene Potion and succeeded." As the old man with the white beard spoke, he casually pressed a button on his desk with his right hand. Suddenly, the room door opened, and a refined young scholar walked in.

"Teacher, is there something you need?" The young man looked at his teacher with reverence. He knew very well that the gene potion was almost entirely researched by his teacher alone, with others merely assisting.

The old man with the white beard nodded, "Take him to the second floor to train first." He then turned his gaze to Li Yang, "You won't run away, will you? These are all scholars who can't even lift a chicken. If you go berserk, there aren't many people who can handle you."

Li Yang sneered, "I wouldn't be that foolish. This base has the same setup as my past base, Star Luo. Entry and exit are determined by iris scans. Without you, I can't move an inch within the base." While saying this, Li Yang inwardly sneered, That old man, in such a secret place, the guards must be at least Level Four or Five experts. And you, old man, are in the Golden Core Stage, yet you claim to be unable to lift a chicken? Humph. However, if I really tried to escape, you wouldn't have any way to stop me. If Li Yang were to escape, it would definitely be with the Evasion Technique.

Li Yang left the old man with the white beard's office with the young man, but the phone in the old man's office suddenly rang.

"Hello, is that General Wang? Li Yang? Haha, isn't he just a death row inmate? What are you so nervous about? Just leave him to me, don't you know the privileges the country has granted me?" the old man with the white beard said impatiently into the phone.

On the other end of the line was General Wang. General Wang knew what the old man with the white beard was doing with some death row inmates, which made him even more uneasy.

"Old Director, I'm calling to remind you that Li Yang's temperament is different now. I'm worried that once he successfully takes the gene potion, he might escape while on a mission. A Li Yang who has successfully taken the gene potion will definitely have greatly increased physical energy, and with his Internal Energy, the power of his Little Li Flying Dagger will be even more terrifying. He can already easily kill Level Four experts now. What about Li Yang after taking the B1 Gene Potion? I really dare not imagine what will happen if he gets out of control!" General Wang warned.

The old man with the white beard said confidently, "Don't worry, what methods do I have? Has any of the past death row inmates escaped? Haven't they all obediently carried out their missions?"

"Yes, I know, but I still feel a bit uneasy. I'm just reminding you, Old Director. Since you are confident, I won't worry unnecessarily." General Wang then hung up the phone helplessly. Although this old director was remarkable in academia, his temper had always been extremely arrogant. Perhaps this was the eccentricity of experts with special achievements.

The old man with the white beard gently hung up the phone, smiled confidently, and whispered, "He's just a little guy who hasn't even reached the Innate Realm. Isn't it easy to control him? Isn't it a piece of cake to erase his memories? General Wang, you are a mortal, how can you understand the power of a cultivator?"

Days passed one by one, and Li Yang continued to train.

In the largest training room on the second floor of the Life Research Institute's Base No. 2.

"...479, 480…" Li Yang was doing frog jumps under four times gravity, holding a fifty-jin iron rod in his hands. Although it was only fifty jin, under four times gravity, it was incredibly formidable.

Fortunately, Li Yang's Internal Energy had reached the third level. His hundreds of crystals of Internal Energy were much more powerful than before. His entire body was filled with surging true qi, and with the circulation of his Internal Energy, despite being drenched in sweat, he still held on. This kind of training was doubly effective, not only training his muscles but also allowing his Internal Energy to progress faster.

"2000!" Li Yang suddenly threw the iron rod aside and casually walked to a corner of the training room.

Li Yang sat down on the ground comfortably and carelessly, leaning against the cold wall. The Internal Energy that had been almost depleted in his body began to circulate wildly, and spiritual energy from heaven and earth continuously surged into Li Yang's body, but Li Yang didn't pay attention to what was happening inside him.

In the corner were several bottles of strong liquor, several bottles of highly potent Erguotou, which he often drank in the Dragon Fang unit in the past. This was something Li Yang had strongly requested from the people at the research institute. Fortunately, Erguotou was also very cheap, and his request was met at the base.

Li Yang twisted open the cap and poured the strong liquor into his mouth, letting the fiery sensation fill his chest.

"Xue, are you doing well over there?" Li Yang's deep and heavy longing for Xue made him oblivious to the fiery sensation of the strong liquor. Although Li Yang had only trained during this period, whenever he rested, he would almost instantly think of Xue, think of Xue who cared for him meticulously in the hospital, think of Xue who waited for him desperately without knowing his real name.

Li Yang suddenly tilted his head back and downed the entire bottle of liquor in one go.

"Train!" Only training could numb himself. Li Yang suddenly inhaled the spiritual energy from heaven and earth, instantly converting it into true qi within his body. Li Yang picked up a huge rock and began to practice desperately…
