Raising Gene Level

The night Xiao Yu returned to Jiangnan Base City, he received news that Luo Feng had been appointed Inspector of Jiangnan Base City.

Ever since Xiao Yu had become an Esteemed Inspector, Jiangnan Base City had gone without appointing an Inspector for several months.

Early the next morning, quite a few people in Mingyue Residential Area were waiting for Luo Feng's arrival. There were Luo Feng's parents, Wu Tong, the director of Yangzhou City's Limit Martial Hall, and some who had only recently become Warriors.

Standing by the floor-to-ceiling window of his private Training Room, Xiao Yu looked outside as a dark blue fighter jet slowly descended.

"Luo Feng is here." Xiao Yu smiled and walked out of the Training Room.

As Xiao Yu walked out of the Limit Martial Hall's main lobby, he saw Luo Feng greeting everyone.

"Esteemed Inspector," Wu Tong said.

In front of outsiders, Wu Tong had always addressed Xiao Yu this way. Only in private did he call Xiao Yu by name.

"Esteemed Inspector," the surrounding Warriors called out respectfully.

Xiao Yu nodded, considering it a greeting to everyone.

Then he looked at Luo Feng and said, "Luo Feng, you must have gained quite a lot this time!"

"Yeah, the Head of the General Hall really has plenty of treasures." Luo Feng said happily, "I exchanged for this King-class intelligent fighter jet. It may not be as good as yours, but it's still pretty great."

"That's good. We can talk later. You've been away for months, so you must miss your family. I won't keep you from reuniting with them," Xiao Yu said. "Don't forget to see Xu Xin. She hasn't had it easy lately either."

Xu Xin's troubles lately were all thanks to her wonderful older brother constantly causing problems. Even with Xiao Yu's intervention, nothing had changed much. Xiao Yu was only a distant cousin, after all. Fortunately, Xu Xin's attitude was firm.

Ever since Xiao Yu's strength had reached Planetary level ninth stage, he had rarely entered the War God Palace. Naturally, he had missed Luo Feng's first dazzling performance there.

When he entered the War God Palace again during a break from cultivation, he discovered that the number on the large screen outside the hall had become 3519.

During this period, Xiao Yu had been cultivating the Warrior Secret Manual: 'Basic Forms 123', increasing his body amplitude.

For a Warrior, body amplitude was extremely important. For example, if one's amplitude was 7, it increased not only strength, but speed and defense as well. Of course, speed would not increase by a full seven times.

"System, check my remaining Wish Points."

Remaining: 83 Wish Silver Coins.

"System, increase my body amplitude to 10."

Configuration successful!

First Wish: Increase body amplitude to 10 (1400 Wish Copper Coins)

"System, increase my Gene Multiplier by one times."

Configuration successful!

Second Wish: Increase Gene Multiplier by one times (15 Wish Silver Coins)

"System, fulfill the First Wish."

1400 Wish Copper Coins deducted!

Wish is being fulfilled...

A colorless energy descended from the void, enveloping the entire Training Room.

Xiao Yu unconsciously fell asleep. Then he abruptly rose and continuously practiced various moves—blade techniques, movement techniques, and Punching techniques—at astonishing speed.

In an instant, Xiao Yu's afterimages filled the entire Training Room. Every one of them practiced different moves and movement techniques.

The shadows of these moves looked extremely familiar. There were traces of Nine Heavens Thunder Blade, traces of the Basic 123 Forms, and even traces of certain Lightning Secret Methods.

Xiao Yu's stamina and the Origin Force within his body were being consumed rapidly. Yet whenever his stamina and Origin Force were nearly exhausted, a special energy would appear within him. Once it appeared, his stamina and Origin Force would quickly recover to full capacity.

At the same time, the memories of all those figures practicing flooded into Xiao Yu's mind, leaving deep imprints behind, as though he had cultivated them himself.

The Training Room where Xiao Yu stood seemed to have accelerated tenfold, even a hundredfold.

The process continued for two full days and nights.

Only then did the Training Room return to silence, and Xiao Yu opened his eyes.

Wish fulfilled.

The system's voice rang out in his mind.

Xiao Yu felt exhausted, completely unlike how he had felt when using the system to improve Nine Heavens Thunder Blade before.

Enduring his fatigue, he looked at the Auxiliary Optical Computer on his left wrist. "Check my strength."

A line of Chinese characters appeared on the Auxiliary Optical Computer's screen.

Strength: Gene Warrior, Planetary level ninth stage, 99.9%.

He clenched his right hand loosely and threw a full-force punch forward. A sonic boom erupted, and the shockwave generated by his fist cutting through the air actually made the punch target on the Punch Force Tester sway.

His control over his strength felt as though he had raised it bit by bit himself.

Xiao Yu glanced at the time on the Auxiliary Optical Computer and only then learned that this improvement had taken a full two days.

He had not gone home for two days. His mother was probably worried again.

Xiao Yu hurriedly changed into clean clothes and returned to his family villa.

Inside the Xiao family villa in Mingyue Residential Area.

In the dining room, an entire table was covered with precious dishes, many of which ordinary families would never see.

Mother Xiao, Xu Jingyi, placed some food into Xiao Yu's bowl and said, "Look at you. Before, you had to go to the Wilderness Zone, so it was understandable that you wouldn't come home for long periods. But now you're right here in Yangzhou City, and you still stay out overnight every few days."

"Mom, I just lost track of time while cultivating! I promise it won't happen again. If possible, I'll definitely come home and eat with you," Xiao Yu said hurriedly.

Mother Xiao was not being unreasonable. As a mother, she simply wanted her son by her side more often.

"Your father is the same. He used to spend a month away and a month at home. Now that he's stronger, he spends even more time away. He's been gone for a month and a half now without coming home even once," Xu Jingyi complained.

"Mom, even if Dad is away, you can still talk through the Communication Watch," Xiao Yu said.

"That's true. We talk for a while almost every night," Xu Jingyi said. "Your uncle and Sister Ling are the same. The day before yesterday, your aunt was complaining to me too! Her boy, Xiao Yan, will turn eighteen next year and take the Warrior assessment to become a Warrior. By then, she'll probably have even more to complain about."

Ever since Xiao Yu had handed the Purple Light Dew he obtained to the family, many of the Xiao Family's fifteen- and sixteen-year-old juniors had reached the Probationary Warrior standard after using it. Since they had not yet turned eighteen and lacked sufficient maturity, his uncle Xiao Guohua, the former Xiao family patriarch, had decided that they would wait until they were eighteen before taking the assessment.

Ever since Xiao Yu became an Esteemed Inspector of the Limit Martial Arts School, his uncle Xiao Guohua had stepped down as patriarch, and Xiao Dingguo had been elected to succeed him.

After becoming patriarch, Xiao Dingguo's sense of responsibility had greatly increased. He became incredibly busy and often went out on missions. That was also why Xu Jingyi had complained earlier.

"Mom, how has your health been lately?" Xiao Yu asked.

"I haven't felt any changes in my body lately. The effects of the Thousand-year Black Wugen should have stabilized," Xu Jingyi said.

After Xu Jingyi drank the medicinal wine steeped with Thousand-year Black Wugen, her physical fitness had continued to improve slowly. Only recently had the medicinal effects finally been fully exhausted.

"Good. Then let me see what level your physical fitness has reached now," Xiao Yu said.

A line of Chinese characters appeared on the Auxiliary Optical Computer on his left wrist.

Strength: Physical fitness: Apprentice Level 3.

"How are you checking?" Xu Jingyi asked in confusion, about to stand up.

"Mom, no need. I'm already done checking."

"How is it? Am I stronger than your father now?"

"Yeah." Xiao Yu smiled. "Mom, I still have a bottle of Spirit of Plants and Trees diluted liquid here. You only need to take it orally in ten portions, once per day. In ten days, your strength should be about the same as Dad's."

Even Xiao Yu himself did not quite believe what he had just said.

"That's great! Bring it here." Xu Jingyi's face was full of anticipation.

Restoring the wife's authority had always been her dream.

With a flip of Xiao Yu's hand, a glass bottle containing pale green liquid appeared on the dining table.

"Son, this Space Ring of yours is so useful. It's just like in the novels," Xu Jingyi said.

"Mom, I'll give you one someday too," Xiao Yu said.

Xu Jingyi picked up the glass bottle containing the Thousand-Year Willow Heart diluted liquid from the table, stroked Xiao Yu's hair twice, and said, "Good son!"

The next day, Xiao Yu returned to the Training Room to continue cultivating.

"System, fulfill the First Wish."

15 Wish Silver Coins deducted!

Wish is being fulfilled...

Streams of blood-red special energy instantly enveloped Xiao Yu's entire body. Threads of blood-red energy entered his body through every pore.

Despite having experienced it once already, Xiao Yu still groaned and howled uncontrollably.

This system enhancement lasted a full hour and a half before finally stopping.

Wish fulfilled.

His Gene Multiplier had reached three times.

After Xiao Yu's Gene Level rose to three times this time, his control over his strength worsened somewhat. For the following period, Xiao Yu continued cultivating and gradually restored his control over his body.

September 1st was the welcoming day for Luo Feng's appointment as Inspector. As someone stationed in Jiangnan Base City and Luo Feng's nominal superior, Xiao Yu naturally received an invitation in advance.

For the succession of the Limit Martial Arts School's Inspector, many officials, corporate representatives, faction representatives, and War Gods from Jiangnan Base City attended.

Xiao Yu's father, as a War God from Yangzhou City District of Jiangnan Base City, was invited. Not only that, his uncle Xiao Guohua was invited as well.

Father Xiao, Xiao Dingguo, had returned to the Base City on August 20. After he returned, Xiao Yu gave the Thousand-Year Willow Heart to his father. After using it, his strength had reached Advanced War God. Though he had only just entered Advanced War God, he had become one nonetheless.

Xiao Yu had also specially found a third-order Force Weapon battle axe for his father. Though he could not unleash the weapon's full power, a third-order Force Weapon was still far more powerful than an SS-class battle axe.

After Xiao Yu arrived on time, he hugged Luo Feng and congratulated him. "Inspector Luo, congratulations!"

The two exchanged glances and laughed.

Worried that he would steal Luo Feng's spotlight, Xiao Yu took his family to a corner after meeting Luo Feng.

Midway through the banquet, Li Dawei announced that a Level 1 Beast Tide had broken out. Luo Feng and Lei Meng, the Inspector from Thunder Martial Hall, both responded and said they would go along. The War Gods present also followed them.

In truth, this was Li Dawei's open scheme. By announcing the Beast Tide outbreak on such an occasion, it was difficult for the many War Gods present not to participate.

Xiao Yu's father and uncle naturally went along as well.

Xiao Yu was worried about his father's safety, so he followed them. However, he would not intervene unless a King-level Monster appeared in the Beast Tide, or his father and uncle encountered danger.

Fortunately, this time, humanity had taken the initiative and planned the war in advance. His father and uncle only needed to kill or drive back the Lord level monsters that came ashore, and neither of them encountered any danger.

Xiao Yu also watched Luo Feng and Lei Meng clash head-on, competing to see who could kill more monsters. However, for a Warrior to compete with a Mind Controller was somewhat overestimating himself.

Lei Meng killed two monster Lords and drove back quite a few others.

Luo Feng killed eighteen monster Lords.

Luo Feng gained greatly from this battle, but he only kept materials from three High Lord level monsters. He donated all the rest.
