The guess that surfaced in his mind startled Lin Xinghai, but the more he considered it, the more plausible it seed.
After all, many of the system’s functions had to be discovered and developed by him.
Take the Interdiate Shooting Skill, for instance. Logically, it was just a type of Gun Technique. Its most miraculous aspect was using a special thod of Perception Power to control objects to a certain degree, thereby influencing a bullet’s trajectory.
Yet he had developed this special thod of Perception Power to probe objects instead.
If that was the case, then the special pathways the Blood Qi Power followed during the system’s enhancent process might constitute an incredibly powerful Cultivation Technique—one he would have to figure out on his own.
Whether his guess was correct or not, Lin Xinghai diligently tried to morize this circulation path. It could prove imnsely useful later.
Of course, he also discovered that this circulation path was extrely complex. Even with the system’s aid, it took a full ten minutes to complete a single cycle.
After the technique had run three tis—a total of thirty minutes—one enhancent session was finally complete.
His Genetic Optimization Level had also reached 91%.
Without the slightest hesitation, Lin Xinghai tapped the " " sign again. As he pinpointed the source of the pain, he silently committed every detail of the energy pathways to mory.
After all, with sothing like a Cultivation Technique, the slightest deviation could lead to disastrous results. He couldn’t afford to be even the tiniest bit careless.
"Ah Xing, what’s wrong?" When Lin Xinghai finished his second enhancent, he found Shen Han looking at him anxiously.
It wasn’t just Shen Han; the other mbers of the Heaven-Sundering rcenary Corps had also gathered around, their faces etched with tension.
Only then did Lin Xinghai realize he was drenched in sweat from the pain.
And this was with his pain tolerance already greatly increased from having broken Three Genetic Locks. Otherwise, he might have passed out from the agony.
"It’s nothing. I just activated my Special Physique to speed up the absorption of the Genetic dicine Liquid. This is a normal side effect," Lin Xinghai casually offered an excuse.
Shen Han breathed a sigh of relief. She knew about Lin Xinghai having a Special Physique, so she didn’t question it. Her admiration for him only deepened.
Everyone knew Lin Xinghai’s power grew at a rapid pace. Before, they had only felt envy. But now, seeing him in such pain, they understood that strength didn’t just appear out of thin air—it always ca at a price.
Lin Xinghai had no ti to concern himself with the shift in his comrades’ attitudes. After a full hour of tornt, all he wanted was a good rest.
So, after bidding farewell to Shen Han and the others, he returned directly to his villa.
He took a shower, rested for two hours, and then used the system to continue increasing his Genetic Optimization Level.
Seeing Lin Xinghai’s pained expression, Liu Miaomiao offered to use her Life Superpower to ease his suffering, but he refused.
"You can’t help this ti. While I’m using my Special Physique to enhance myself, I’m also trying to experience the changes within my body. It will help gain better control over my power," Lin Xinghai quickly fabricated a reason.
This left Liu Miaomiao feeling both heartbroken and helpless. All she could do was continually wipe the sweat from his brow with a towel.
After this ordeal continued for the better part of the day, Lin Xinghai’s Genetic Optimization Level had risen to 95%.
By then, he had more or less morized the circulation path of the System Technique.
But as the saying goes, the faintest ink is more reliable than the sharpest mory. He worried he might forget it after a while, so he went straight to the Military Departnt to find the officer in charge of the wounded soldiers’ barracks.
"Director Lin, what brings you here?" the barracks commander asked with exceptional politeness upon seeing Lin Xinghai.
Hearing the title, Lin Xinghai paused, montarily forgetting that he was, in fact, the deputy director of the Shelter.
"You’re too kind," Lin Xinghai said politely, then got straight to the point. "I’ve co to purchase a few things. I was wondering if you have a complete diagram of the human ridian system, preferably a holographic projection. If possible, I’d also like an anatomical model."
Though puzzled by the request, the commander saw no reason to refuse. It wasn’t a major issue, so he agreed at once.
Soon, Lin Xinghai had obtained the data for the human ridian diagram and saved it to his wrist-mounted computer.
The barracks didn’t have an anatomical model on hand, but such an item wasn’t difficult to produce. With the complete data, one could simply be fabricated using a 3D printer.
Ten minutes later, Lin Xinghai left with everything he needed and returned to the villa.
"Ah Xing! What’s that?" Liu Miaomiao asked, her face full of curiosity, as she watched Lin Xinghai take out a notebook and begin scribbling in it.
Lin Xinghai was studying the holographic projection, locating the ridians he needed and assigning them his own set of numbers.
The notebook was now filled with strings of numbers. To anyone else, it would look like a cipher.
"Researching ways to get stronger," Lin Xinghai said vaguely.
He wasn’t ready to tell anyone about the System Technique just yet.
Liu Miaomiao’s curiosity was fleeting. After watching for a mont, she went back to binge-watching her shows.
mbers of a Third Level rcenary Corps had a few small privileges. While Lin Xinghai had been busy, she had taken a trip to the culture departnt and copied enough pre-apocalypse movies and TV shows to last her a month or two.
anwhile, Lin Xinghai spent another hour finally codifying the entire System Technique.
Looking at the densely packed strings of numbers in his notebook, he let out a long sigh and tapped the " " sign next to his Genetic Optimization Level again.
’I can only enhance my Genetic Optimization Level to 99% at most. I have to use these last four chances to confirm that the circulation path for this System Technique is completely flawless.’
’If this System Technique really works, I might be able to try out that audacious idea I had.’
Ti passed quickly, and night arrived in the blink of an eye.
Lin Xinghai’s body had undergone four more enhancents, and his Genetic Optimization Level had reached 99%.
Host: Lin Xinghai
Physique: 91 points
Power: 87 points
Speed: 99 points
Blood Qi Power: 126,268 points
Genetic Optimization Level: 99%
Third Level Superpower: Speed (Speed increased by 300%, duration five minutes) (Energy Value: 10/10)
Interdiate Shooting Skill: Proficiency 1%
Phantom Body Technique (Minor Success): Proficiency 1%
Looking at the " " sign after "Genetic Optimization Level: 99%," Lin Xinghai knew that with a single tap, he could easily beco a Blood Qi Realm expert—a status countless people dread of achieving.
But Lin Xinghai resisted the temptation. He was already the strongest among the Optimized, and he intended to beco the strongest in the Blood Qi Realm as well.
He couldn’t possibly break through before learning the Divine Demon Body Cultivation Technique.
And now, perhaps he could finally test that idea he’d had earlier.
