"Master?"

Shen Qinghan opened her eyes and saw Yuan Dongzhi standing there blankly, not responding to her words. She couldn't help but ask in confusion and felt very uneasy.

Lin Zichen frowned slightly, hesitated for a moment, and then stepped forward to ask, "Principal Yuan, is there a problem with Hanhan's Gene Fusion?"

Upon hearing their voices, Yuan Dongzhi quickly came to her senses.

She steadied herself, her tone hesitant as she said, "Qinghan's Gene Fusion failed; she couldn't successfully fuse with the Deep Blue Jellyfish King's gene, but... it can't be said to be a complete failure."

"What's the meaning?"

Lin Zichen frowned even more deeply.

It's either success or failure; what constitutes a partial failure?

Was only half fused?

Lin Zichen was worried about this, fearing that Shen Qinghan's health would be affected.

It's always unsettling when something unusual happens.

Yuan Dongzhi didn't hide the situation from her apprentice's live-in boyfriend, telling him the truth, "Under normal circumstances, if the Exotic Beast gene is injected into the heart and there is no severe rejection reaction, then it can be considered a successful Gene Fusion."

"Because the biggest challenge in Gene Fusion is the rejection reaction."

"As long as there is no rejection reaction, with the help of various drugs in the Gene Reagent, one's own genes will quickly fuse with the Exotic Beast's genes, gaining the right to express the Exotic Beast's genes and thus acquiring some of the corresponding Exotic Beast's abilities."

"Qinghan's situation is strange. The injected Deep Blue Jellyfish King gene did not cause any rejection reaction, but it also did not fuse with the gene; instead, it was completely controlled."

"All of the Deep Blue Jellyfish King's genes are controlled by her own genes."

As she said this, Yuan Dongzhi's face was full of disbelief, as if it were all unreal.

She has lived for nearly a hundred years and has witnessed the development of Gene Fusion technology from scratch to its current state. She has participated in tens of thousands of Gene Fusion surgeries, but she has never seen anything like Shen Qinghan's case.

I've never seen it before, and I've never even heard of it.

Previous understanding of Gene Fusion has been completely overturned, which is quite unbelievable.

Is the Deep Blue Jellyfish King's gene being controlled by Hanhan's gene?

Lin Zichen was extremely puzzled and looked at Yuan Dongzhi, asking, "Principal Yuan, what exactly is going on?"

"I'm not entirely sure what the specifics are."

Yuan Dongzhi, unusually patient, said, "The only thing I'm clear about right now is that, through my Mental Power perception, I've discovered that Qinghan's own genes seem to possess a mind of their own, systematically surrounding the invading Deep Blue Jellyfish King's genes, then wrapping them around and restricting their freedom."

"During this time, some of the Deep Blue Jellyfish King's genes instinctively tried to fuse, but were directly strangled by Qinghan's genes, turning into a pile of gene fragments that were absorbed as nutrients."

"The current situation is that all the remaining Deep Blue Jellyfish King genes are restricted in their freedom, looking like a female burglar being imprisoned in the cellar by the homeowner. I've never encountered a situation like this before."

Surround?

Entangled?

Captivity?

Hearing these sensitive words, Lin Zichen felt incredulous.

Is this something genes could do?

This is truly unbelievable, so unbelievable that he suspected Yuan Dongzhi was lying.

Unfortunately, his Mental Power wasn't strong enough; otherwise, he would have also probed Shen Qinghan's body to verify if it was truly as strange as it seemed.

While the two were talking, Shen Qinghan on the bed was particularly well-behaved, not interrupting and listening quietly the whole time.

Just as she was listening attentively to Yuan Dongzhi's explanation of her internal condition...

Suddenly, she noticed that her hair had changed color!

It is turning blue at a visible speed, like the color of the ocean.

At the same time, it becomes smoother, brighter, and looks as clear as water.

"Xiao Chen, Master, my hair is changing color!"

Shen Qinghan panicked a little, and after realizing what was happening, she immediately looked at the two of them and said...

Without her prompting, Lin Zichen and Yuan Dongzhi had already noticed.

Because their eyes were fixed on her the entire time, never looking away for even a second.

"What happened?"

Yuan Dongzhi was bewildered again, his face full of confusion. "If the fusion clearly failed, why can it still express the genes of the Deep Blue Jellyfish King?"

Blue hair is one of the characteristics of the Deep Blue Jellyfish's gene expression.

This shouldn't happen to Shen Qinghan.

Yuan Dongzhi sat down by the bedside, carefully observing Shen Qinghan's smooth, deep blue hair, and asked her, "Qinghan, do you feel anything unusual about your body?"

Shen Qinghan steadied herself, calmed down, and carefully sensed the sensation. Then, she said uncertainly, "It feels like something has appeared inside my body. I can sense it, and it seems... I can even control it."

Something new has appeared inside my body?

Can you sense it?

Can it still be controlled?

Isn't this Gene Fusionist?

Yuan Dongzhi was puzzled by this.

She thought about it and realized that there must be something wrong with her Mental Power.

In fact, Shen Qinghan had successfully fused with the genes of the Deep Blue Jellyfish King, but she failed to notice because of a problem with her Mental Power.

Thinking it over, she immediately withdrew her Mental Power from Shen Qinghan's body.

I paused for a moment, letting my brain rest.

Next, he once again channeled his Mental Power into Shen Qinghan's body, carefully examining the Deep Blue Jellyfish King's genes within.

The results showed that the Deep Blue Jellyfish King's genes were still controlled by Shen Qinghan's genes, and they did not merge at all.

But unlike before, the Deep Blue Jellyfish King Gene is now trying its best to express itself.

It looks like they're being threatened with genetic death by Shen Qinghan; if they don't express their genes, they'll be strangled!

What on earth is going on?!

Yuan Dongzhi was deeply shocked and completely baffled.

However, one thing is clear: Shen Qinghan does not need to fuse with the Exotic Beast's Gene Fusion. She only needs to control the Exotic Beast's Exotic Beast to express them and gain the Exotic Beast's abilities.

Just like a scumbag boyfriend or girlfriend, they only care about sleeping with you for free, not about getting married or starting a family, and they never have to worry about divorce disputes.

In the field of Gene Fusion, it means you'll never have to worry about being devoured by Exotic Beast genes.

No, that's not a vivid enough description.

When a scumbag or a scumbag is in a relationship, they are equals.

The situation within Shen Qinghan's body is more like that of a master and a slave.

Shen Qinghan's genes enslaved all the foreign Deep Blue Jellyfish King genes, turning them into its slaves and making the Deep Blue Jellyfish King genes work for it.

Those who obey are merely bound and imprisoned; those who disobey are strangled.

Yes, that's it!

It's a relationship of enslavement!

Gene Enslavement!

Yuan Dongzhi made this judgment about Shen Qinghan's condition and named this phenomenon "Gene Enslavement".

She felt that her conjectures were reasonable, logical, and based on scientific thinking.

As expected, this should be the truth.

After roughly figuring these things out...

Yuan Dongzhi looked at Shen Qinghan and said, "Qinghan, the extra stuff you sensed in your body should be the Deep Blue Jellyfish King gene that I just injected into you."

"Right now, the Deep Blue Jellyfish King gene within you is activated. Calm your mind and try to use your Mental Power to control it and put it into dormancy."

"Oh, I'll give it a try."

Shen Qinghan responded softly.

Next, I calmed my mind and did as Yuan Dongzhi instructed, trying to use my Mental Power to control the Deep Blue Jellyfish King gene within my body.

It only took a short while to figure it out.

Soon, Shen Qinghan successfully controlled the Deep Blue Jellyfish King's genes without any instruction.

Then, with a thought, the Deep Blue Jellyfish King's genes went into hibernation.

At the same time, her sea-blue hair was visibly fading back to its original black color.

Seeing this, Yuan Dongzhi was deeply moved.

Shen Qinghan can control the Deep Blue Jellyfish King gene within her body!

My guess was right!

After calming herself down a bit, Yuan Dongzhi looked at Shen Qinghan and said, "Qinghan, now try to reactivate the Deep Blue Jellyfish King's genes."

"Good."

After saying that, Shen Qinghan had a thought and reactivated the Deep Blue Jellyfish King gene in her body.

The next second, her hair turned a deep blue and glossy again, dazzlingly beautiful.

Seeing her hair turn a deep blue again, Yuan Dongzhi could no longer contain her excitement.

That's incredible!

Shen Qinghan's physique is truly amazing!

Even top Gene Fusion geniuses like Li Moyu, Ma Xiwei, and even Student Union President Zhou Xuehong, need at least three days to adapt after successfully fusing with Exotic Beast genes before they can freely activate or suspend the Exotic Beast genes within their bodies.

Shen Qinghan, having just had the Exotic Beast gene injected into her heart, is already able to control the Exotic Beast gene!

This is far superior to Gene Fusionist!

The Gene Fusionist looked like a mentally challenged child in her presence!

It's a skill that can be mastered instantly, yet it takes at least three days to learn!

What kind of genius from Capital University?

What invincible Gene Fusion talent?

This is nothing compared to Shen Qinghan's Gene Enslavement ability!

Yuan Dongzhi became increasingly excited as she thought about it.

My newly accepted disciple has even greater potential than I imagined!

As for the Gene Fusion compatibility rate as high as 21%?

This is utterly incomparable to the power of Gene Enslavement!

Seeing that Yuan Dongzhi, who was usually aloof and taciturn, suddenly showed excitement, which was very out of character, Lin Zichen immediately asked, "Principal Yuan, what's the situation with Hanhan now?"

Yuan Dongzhi was in a particularly good mood and said with a smile, "I have good news and bad news. Which do you want to hear first?"

Lin Zichen didn't speak, but silently looked at Shen Qinghan on the bed, letting her decide.

Shen Qinghan hesitated for a moment, then said somewhat nervously, "Um... let's hear the bad news first."

Yuan Dongzhi: "The bad news is that you may never become Gene Fusionist."

"Ah?"

Shen Qinghan was taken aback.

Immediately afterwards, she felt as if her whole world had collapsed.

It was only after great difficulty that Gene Fusion fit of 21% was measured.

It wasn't easy for him to go from an ordinary person to a top genius.

She finally earned the right to be with Lin Zichen, and to be known as Peerless Twin Stars alongside him.

Is it really going to fall from grace in less than six months?

Sadness, distress, despair, pain...

In an instant, Shen Qinghan was overwhelmed by a flood of negative emotions, feeling as if the world had turned dark.

But she quickly realized something was wrong.

If you can't become Gene Fusionist, then why were you able to freely control the Deep Blue Jellyfish King gene within your body just now?

Isn't this something only Gene Fusionist can do?

With these thoughts in mind, Shen Qinghan asked with a heart full of doubt, "Master, then why was I able to control the Deep Blue Jellyfish King gene within my body just now? Isn't that something Gene Fusionist can do?"

Yuan Dongzhi smiled and said, "This is the good news I'm about to tell you."

"Master, I want to hear good news!"

Shen Qinghan couldn't wait any longer and desperately needed good news to soothe her anxious heart.

Yuan Dongzhi smiled and said, "The good news is that you are more Advanced and powerful than Gene Fusionist. You can do what Gene Fusionist can do without Gene Fusion, and you can do it even better."

"Really?"

Shen Qinghan was overjoyed.

Yuan Dongzhi smiled and then shared his conjectures about Gene Enslavement.

That's explained in great detail.

The key point is to highlight the power of Gene Enslavement.

It is said that Shen Qinghan does not need to fuse with the Exotic Beast's genes to express them and gain the Exotic Beast's abilities, and she does not have to worry about being devoured by the Exotic Beast's genes.

Lin Zichen and Shen Qinghan were both surprised after hearing this.

Among them, Shen Qinghan's pretty face turned bright red with excitement, even more so than if she had won a multi-million dollar lottery.

But soon, Yuan Dongzhi poured cold water on her enthusiasm, saying calmly, "Qinghan, don't be too happy yet. Your master's guess may not be accurate."

Whether you are truly more Advanced than Gene Fusionist remains to be seen and will require further observation over time.

"To date, no Pure-Blood Human has been found capable of breaking free from the constraints of ordinary life forms and evolving into Advanced Being."

"Only by fusing with the genes of Exotic Beast can this constraint be broken."

"Your current situation is that you cannot Gene Fusion of Exotic Beast, but you can enslave Exotic Beast genes, express Exotic Beast genes, and gain the abilities of the corresponding Exotic Beast."

"What does this mean? It means you are still essentially Pure-Blood Human."

Then, Yuan Dongzhi asked Shen Qinghan, "Do you think you can break through the shackles of ordinary creatures with your Pure-Blood Human body?"

This question was like a bucket of ice water poured over Shen Qinghan's head, instantly extinguishing all her excitement and enthusiasm.

One moment of great sorrow, the next of great joy, and then another moment of great sorrow.

This series of dramatic moves left Shen Qinghan speechless, unable to utter a word for a long time.

Don't be so discouraged.

Yuan Dongzhi smiled gently and said, "My opinion is that since your genes can enslave the genes of the Deep Blue Jellyfish King, it means that your genes are stronger than the Deep Blue Jellyfish King's genes."

"And the Deep Blue Jellyfish King's genes are those of Advanced Exotic Beast."

"In conclusion, you have a very good chance of breaking free from the constraints of ordinary organisms through your own genes."

At this point, Yuan Dongzhi put his hand on Shen Qinghan's shoulder, placing high hopes on her, and said, "You are very likely to become the first person on Earth to break through the shackles of ordinary life and evolve into Advanced Being with a Pure-Blood Human."

"Can I really do it?"

After hearing Yuan Dongzhi's words, Shen Qinghan felt completely dizzy, looking like an innocent young girl who had been completely fooled by a pyramid scheme leader.

Yuan Dongzhi said earnestly, "If Pure-Blood Human can truly break the shackles of ordinary creatures, then you will definitely be the first person to do so."

Lin Zichen, standing to the side, raised an eyebrow. What does that mean? Are you looking down on me?

He muttered a curse to himself, then calmly asked Yuan Dongzhi, "Principal Yuan, according to you, does that mean Hanhan will be following the Pure-Blood Human Path in the future?"

Yuan Dongzhi shook his head. "She can't go down the Pure-Blood Human Path."

Lin Zichen asked in confusion, "We can't leave?"

Yuan Dongzhi patiently explained, "Whether one can follow the Pure-Blood Human Path depends on physical talent and the strength of one's blood and qi, and these two aspects happen to be Qinghan's weaknesses."

"Control abilities are generally linked to Mental Power, and Qinghan's Gene Enslavement ability should be no exception."

"Therefore, Qinghan's future evolutionary direction is to hone her Mental Power, enhance the intensity of her Gene Enslavement ability, and then continuously enslave the genes of Exotic Beast to become stronger."

"This is an unprecedented and groundbreaking path of evolution. Only Qinghan, who possesses the ability to Gene Enslavement, can walk it; no one else can."

Yuan Dongzhi added, "Although Qinghan is not Gene Fusionist, her main way of improving her strength is inseparable from the genes of Exotic Beast."

"Taking this into account, Qinghan will remain a student in the Talent Class of the Evolution Academy, and her official identity will be that of a Gene Fusionist."

"This secret is best kept between the two of you. Don't tell anyone, not even your parents."

After giving his instructions, Yuan Dongzhi looked at Shen Qinghan and said to her, "Qinghan, there are still many aspects of your Gene Enslavement ability that need to be studied. So, from now on, every night at 8 o'clock, if you're free, come to my office, and we'll study it together."

"Yes, I understand, Master."

Shen Qinghan nodded obediently, perfectly embodying the qualities of a model student.

Yuan Dongzhi glanced at the time and said in a rare gentle tone, "Alright, it's getting late. You two should go back and get some rest."

"Goodbye, Principal Yuan."

"Goodbye, Master."

Lin Zichen and Shen Qinghan politely waved to Yuan Dongzhi and quickly left the office.

After the two left.

Yuan Dongzhi picked up the cell phone on the table and dialed her father's number.

The call connected quickly, and a deep, middle-aged man's voice came from the other end:

"Toshiba, why are you calling so late?"

"I accidentally pressed the wrong button."

"Oh, okay, then I'll hang up now. I'm having drinks with some friends."

"Dad, drink less."

"Okay, okay, you're so young, don't nag like your mother. Bye."

"Beep beep beep beep..."

After exchanging a few brief words, Yuan Dongzhi ended the call with her father.

After thinking about it, she decided not to tell her nearly 200-year-old father about Shen Qinghan.

This secret about my youngest apprentice is best kept between myself and my apprentice and his wife; there's no need to let a fourth person know, lest it cause unnecessary trouble.
