Beneath the black tide.
Hua Qianqiu was terrified beyond measure.
Because...
All the [somatic cells] in his body, aside from his reproductive cells, were rapidly undergoing apoptosis.
Cell apoptosis was originally a normal phenomenon in the human body, representing the natural replacement of cells. But this was happening far too quickly—the newly born cells could not keep up!
"What... Plague Extermination Art is this?"
Hua Qianqiu had never seen a Plague Extermination Art that worked through such a method.
Genetics?
No! It was definitely more than genetics.

At the same time, Hua Qianqiu stared at Zhou Zhi, sensing the pain in his own kidneys.
"Plague Extermination Art [Ferroptosis Inhibition]."
Using this art to replace the apoptosis of his own cells, Hua Qianqiu finally gained a moment to catch his breath.

[Lochia] [Menstrual Irregularity] [Depression]...
If it were anyone else, upon realizing that Zhou Zhi's attacks possessed the power to induce cell apoptosis, they would certainly have chosen to keep their distance. But
