After Night Falls, Sea Emperor silently tampered with the plaza's surveillance system, completely removing Gu Ding and Liliath from the footage.
The two took out the giant beast's corpse and dug out the Energy Crystal Orb. Liliath then stored the corpse away again, leaving not a single trace behind. The two retreated into the cabin once more.
Liliath skillfully implanted the Energy Crystal Orb into Gu Ding's neck again.
Sea Emperor focused all his attention on the changes within Gu Ding's body. He wanted to know exactly what secrets Gu Ding carried inside him.
Just as he had expected, a peculiar virus suddenly appeared again without any warning. In less than two minutes, it completely devoured the Energy Crystal Orb in Gu Ding's neck.
Then, Gu Ding's body changed again. This change did not allow him to break through to a Third-Order Gene Body, nor did it further strengthen his Cell Comprehensive Index. Instead, it caused a subtle change in the form of one of his Gene Chains. Yet because of that change, Gu Ding gained a second special ability.
Gu Ding vaguely sensed that his body had changed, but he could not quite put his finger on it. This time, it seemed his strength had not been directly enhanced. "Sea Emperor, what happened? Why do I feel like the Energy Crystal Orb in my neck vanished instantly again? But I don't seem to have gotten stronger this time."
"Take a look at your body data!" Sea Emperor said as he pulled up Gu Ding's physical data again.
