Gene Adaptation

"What is a Gene Armory Secret Key?"

"For example, if someone is matched with a hunting shark's genes, once they're injected with those genes, they'll be like a fish in water!"

"That seems..."

"It works on a principle quite close to how we gain antibodies from vaccines. This kind of gene adaptation won't cause the body to collapse," Zhang Manqian said.

Their body gained the ability to leap down from a height of over twenty meters with ease!"

Zhang Xuezhou had just recalled how he had gained certain related abilities by eating Demon Beast meat in his dreams. It seemed very similar to the genes Zhang Manqian had mentioned.

Of course, whether eating Demon Beast
