Is He Still Human?

Kuka Planet's atmosphere was shrouded in swirling clouds.

A small spacecraft broke through the atmosphere and arrived at the spacecraft docking port.

Click!

The hatch opened, and under the guidance of a Stellar Level staff member, Li Qi flew out of the cabin.

"Congratulations on becoming a member of the Stellar Training Camp!"

After offering his congratulations, the staff member pointed at the nearest spacecraft. "This spacecraft has come to take you to the Stellar Training Camp."

"Thank you."

Li Qi nodded in thanks and looked in the direction he pointed.

Because he was so close and the spacecraft was so large, he could not see its full appearance, only part of its hull.

The staff member guided him again. "Please follow me."

Following his lead, Li Qi arrived before one of the spacecraft's hatches.

Click!

The hatch opened without warning.

A burly man appeared before them, accompanied by an invisible sense of oppression.

This pressure...

Feeling that familiar invisible pressure, Li Qi lowered his head slightly in respect.

Because the man before him was a Universe Level powerhouse!

The moment he saw the burly man, the staff member hurriedly bowed. "Lord Borsway!"

He felt uneasy. What is going on? Why did Borsway come out?

Borsway said, "The person has been delivered. You may leave."

Hearing this from the lord before him, the Stellar Level staff member was greatly relieved and hurriedly replied, "Yes!"

Thank goodness! Thank goodness! I thought I had made a mistake...

He hurriedly withdrew. His earlier envy toward Li Qi had vanished, replaced by the feeling of having survived a disaster.

"Li Qi Royce?"

"Yes, Lord Borsway."

Borsway smiled. "Welcome to Sand Sea 1."

A genius in the Planetary Level—he had not seen such an outstanding youngster in a long time.

"Follow me."

"Yes."

"Sand Sea 1 is a D9-class spacecraft. It has one D9-class laser main cannon and four C9-class laser secondary cannons. Even a Domain Lord cannot breach Sand Sea 1's defenses."

Led by Borsway, Li Qi toured most of the spacecraft and met the few crew members aboard.

In a lounge not far from the core cockpit, Li Qi sat stiffly on a sofa, looking at an agreement displayed on the light screen before him.

Borsway sat opposite him, leisurely sipping a cup of bluish-green beverage.

After draining the drink in one gulp, he smacked his lips and said, "For a genius like you, the Empire will give you one more chance to choose.

"If you choose to refuse, you may leave this spacecraft and return to Kuka Planet, where you will await new orders from the Cultivation Planet Management Department.

"But if you accept this agreement, it means there is no turning back. You can only go to the Stellar Training Camp for life-and-death training.

"I presume you learned some information beforehand and know just how high the mortality rate at the Stellar Training Camp is!"

He leaned forward slightly and stared directly at Li Qi. "So, what is your decision now? Refuse, or accept?"

"I accept!"

Having already made up his mind, Li Qi did not hesitate. Using his right index finger and the Universal Language, he wrote his name on the light screen before him.

"Very good!"

Borsway nodded with a smile. He was very satisfied with Li Qi's decision.

Placing the empty glass onto the tray held by a robot beside him, he stood. "Follow me."

Li Qi hurriedly rose and followed Borsway out of the lounge.

Soon, they arrived at the enhancement room.

The enhancement room was rather spacious. Other than a silver-white nutrient pod about twenty meters long, six or seven meters wide, and three meters tall, there was nothing else. A few simple black buttons were set into the pod.

Two motionless robots stood on either side of the nutrient pod, red lights occasionally flashing on their foreheads.

"This is a C-grade nutrient pod. It can directly enhance you to Planetary Level Ninth-Order, and it is extremely valuable!"

Borsway added, "Even Universe Level powerhouses can use this nutrient pod, but for me, it only serves to heal injuries and replenish energy."

It is useless to him. That means he is Universe Level Ninth-Order.

"It will take us over a month to reach Sand Sea Planet. Using this nutrient pod, you can reach Planetary Level Ninth-Order in no more than twenty days."

Borsway lightly tapped the silver-white nutrient pod with his finger. "After you signed that agreement, the Stellar Training Camp sent you three more emails. Open the second one."

Li Qi did as instructed. He used his communicator to open the second email, and a light screen appeared.

After quickly scanning the email, he was puzzled. Is this a Gene Origin Energy Cultivation Method?

Borsway explained, "This is a Gene Origin Energy Cultivation Method. Used together with the nutrient pod, it can speed up the absorption of Nutrient Fluid."

"To use this nutrient pod for enhancement, you only need to remove your clothes and enter it. The two robots will handle the rest."

"I have other matters to deal with. Decide for yourself when to begin the enhancement."

With that, he left the enhancement room.

Li Qi memorized the Gene Origin Energy Cultivation Method on the light screen, then spent some time learning it.

After trying to cultivate for a while, he discovered that it was merely an ordinary Gene Origin Energy Cultivation Method. It did not increase cultivation speed by much.

It is probably another matching Gene Origin Energy Cultivation Method.

He muttered to himself, opened the nutrient pod, removed all his clothes, and lay down inside.

Before he could inspect the inside of the nutrient pod, one of the robots beside it lit up its electronic eyes and strode over.

The robot operated the controls, and dark gray Nutrient Fluid flowed through the pipes into the nutrient pod.

Very quickly, Li Qi's entire body was immersed in the dark gray Nutrient Fluid.

This is!

The instant the Nutrient Fluid was injected, Li Qi felt vibrant energy enter his body through every pore, seeping into his flesh, bones, and even his genes.

That vibrant energy was extraordinarily special. After penetrating his genes, it began driving them toward a deeper level of enhancement.

Feeling even his genes evolving, he silently began circulating the newly learned Gene Origin Energy Cultivation Method, absorbing the Nutrient Fluid faster and more efficiently.

However, his absorption speed was somewhat abnormal!

Eight days later.

Still aboard Sand Sea 1.

The once-every-ten-days inspection time had arrived. A Universe Level crew member was conducting his routine patrol and inspection throughout the spacecraft.

When he arrived at the Nutrient Fluid storage room, he checked the Nutrient Fluid reserve units as usual, casually marked a check on the inspection form, and turned to leave.

But after taking only two steps, he suddenly stopped!

Lowering his head to look at the inspection form in his hand, he stared at the checked "normal" Nutrient Fluid reserves, and his expression changed!

The number of Nutrient Fluid reserve units seems wrong!

Aside from its specially stored C-grade Nutrient Fluid, Sand Sea 1's regular Nutrient Fluid reserve consisted only of A-grade Nutrient Fluid suitable for Planetary Level cultivators.

Under normal circumstances, one unit of A-grade Nutrient Fluid could enhance one person from Planetary Level First-Order to Planetary Level Ninth-Order.

However, due to differences in height, build, and bloodline, a unit of Nutrient Fluid might have some left over or prove insufficient during enhancement.

Therefore, when someone was using the nutrient pod, if the Nutrient Fluid proved insufficient, the robots would automatically replenish it.

He hurried back to the instrument that recorded the Nutrient Fluid reserves. After confirming the numbers several times, he could not help crying out!

"What is going on?! Why are there only Twelve units of A-grade Nutrient Fluid left?!"

He frantically operated the controls. When he saw where the Nutrient Fluid had gone, his face instantly darkened. "How is that possible!

"How could one person absorb eight units of Nutrient Fluid?! Is he still human?!

"No! I have to go take a look!"
