The two professors understood what the other was thinking the moment their eyes met.
Under the two professors' direction, the researchers throughout the Research Institute quickly sprang into action once more, making the final preparations to transplant Hashirama cells into Ning Feng.
"Mr. Ning Feng, lie down first, just as you did before. We'll transplant the latest Hashirama cells into your body."
His assistant, Zhu Qin, hurried over to Ning Feng, reaching out to support him as she spoke.
Ning Feng naturally needed no support from Zhu Qin. In a flash, he lay down on the bed the professors and the others had already prepared.
What followed was much like Ning Feng's previous Hashirama cell transplant. With the two professors' help, Professor Liu personally injected the Hashirama cells they had cultivated in a petri dish into Ning Feng's body.
Crack, crack!
Just as before, as the Hashirama cells were injected, the face of Hashirama Senju, the God of the Shinobi World, on Ning Feng's right arm became clearer.
Where it had previously been impossible to recognize it as Hashirama Senju's face, some of its contours were now recognizable. It was downright freakish.
"Th-this face is...?"
Professor Liu and Professor Xue quickly noticed something amiss, and shocked expressions appeared on both their faces.
Although a face had likewise appeared on Ning Feng's right shoulder during the previous Hashirama cell transplant, they had thought it was merely a swollen, face-shaped lump and had paid little attention to it.
Who would have thought that a distinctive face would appear as soon as they began gradually transplanting the cells?
Ning Feng smiled faintly and quickly gave the two professors a brief explanation, saying that everyone who received Hashirama cells would develop a face like this.
Hearing Ning Feng's explanation, Professor Liu slapped his forehead.
