The virus...
The stock solution!
Although it had not undergone any evolution, the virus inside Yuxuan was unquestionably the stock solution—the virus with the greatest potential to develop.
The stock-solution virus.
Long Bixian had used only a small amount of it, and his body had instantly returned to normal. It had even evolved. But Yuxuan's body had been injected with the stock solution from the very beginning. The difference was enormous.

Over the past month, all Yuxuan had noticed was that her body recovered unusually quickly and that she ate a little more.
But earlier that day, Yuxuan had licked a mouthful of the sloth's blood. The stock solution had swiftly absorbed and broken down the new strain of DNA and virus, extracting their most valuable components.
That process had taken quite some time, which was why Yuxuan's body had not begun to evolve until the middle of the night.
The evolution was gentle, however, and Yuxuan, lost in thought, had not noticed it.
By the time the changes to her body were nearly complete, Yuxuan had returned to normal. Just then, Rogers and Isabelle came out of the tent.

"Um... um... Fang, Fang Yuxuan?"
