Chapter 212 - Scientific Gene Lock Exploration
After investing several million empirical values, he finally elevated this fusion skill to its maximum potential.
Once Loong Chen integrated the mirror image, his combat prowess would surge nearly fivefold.
“This surpasses even the potency of the mirror image fighting autonomously.”
Loong Chen inwardly marveled. He hadn't anticipated such a remarkable skill from the two brothers.
Just as Loong Chen pondered silently, all of Mu Ye's subordinates suddenly prostrated before him.
They dared not abstain from kneeling. Witnessing even their two mightiest comrades dispatched effortlessly, they knew resistance was futile.
“Forgive me, Sir. I plead for your mercy. Name your terms, and I shall acquiesce. I am even prepared to surrender control of Konoha Corporation.”
The Konoha Corporation's leader bowed repeatedly before Loong Chen, his frame quivering.
He ruefully regretted his ignorance. Had he known of Loong Chen's formidable might, the Konoha Corporation's reputation would have been inconsequential.
Could the company's prestige outweigh his own survival?
He could only hope his concessions would appease this formidable expert.
Yet, Loong Chen's countenance betrayed no discernible reaction.
“I extended an opportunity, yet you squandered it. My apologies.”
A chilling glint flickered in Loong Chen's eyes. In the next instant, agonized shrieks rent the air.
Edinburgh's most formidable figure, the Konoha Corporation's chief, lay lifeless in a crimson pool, eyes wide with shock.
Merely a decade into his tenure, he harbored confidence that given another ten years, the Konoha Corporation would burgeon into a global juggernaut.
Alas, a single misstep ushered profound regret. His hubris during the company's expansion incurred the wrath of a foe beyond his reckoning.
Upon returning to the laboratory, Chen Yini completed the final steps of manipulating the supercomputer.
“Have you resolved your issue? What action did you take?”
Chen Yini inquired. Loong Chen nodded in confirmation but remained silent.
Gazing at the sophisticated computer before Chen Yini,
Loong Chen inquired, “Shall we commence?”
He asked.
“Yes, but the genetic lock breakthrough project remains in the research phase. The success rate stands at a mere 50%, with significant potential risks.”
“Are you considering recruiting volunteers for testing?”
Chen Yini expressed concern. Whenever she achieved a technological breakthrough, she had to enlist volunteers for experimentation.
These volunteers all willingly signed life-and-death agreements.
Survivors received substantial compensation from the research institute, while the institute bore no responsibility if they perished.
Naturally, the institute also provided generous compensation to the families of the deceased.
“Not necessary, it's too cumbersome. You may proceed with the experiment directly on me.”
Loong Chen promptly declined, confident in his Immortal Body's resilience.
Moreover, he was keen to avoid any time wastage.
“Alright.”
Following this period of interaction, Chen Yini gained a rudimentary understanding of Loong Chen's disposition.
Once he settled on a course of action, altering his decision proved exceedingly challenging.
Consequently, Chen Yini ushered Loong Chen into a machine chamber and proceeded to insert numerous test tubes into his body.
Returning to the supercomputer's interface, she assumed a grave expression and began operating it.
“Commence!”
With a firm press, Chen Yini activated the start mechanism. Within the machine chamber, Loong Chen suddenly sensed a peculiar energy coursing through his body via the test tubes.
This energy exhibited an untamed and fierce nature, surging through Loong Chen's veins.
For anyone else, enduring such ferocious energy would prove daunting, likely resulting in bodily rupture and demise.
However, Loong Chen boasted a robust constitution, coupled with an Immortal Body and Emperor Level lineage, rendering him fully capable of withstanding the onslaught.
Approximately two minutes later, as though triggering a reaction, the energy abruptly detonated, transforming into a wave of dispersing energy.
“I failed.”
Chen Yini let out a despondent sigh.
Despite Chen Yini's disappointment, Loong Chen's demeanor brightened considerably; his eyes sparked with determination.
“Let's give it another try!” Loong Chen urged eagerly.
Observing the fervor in Loong Chen's eyes, Chen Yini couldn't help but feel a twinge of curiosity.
Sensing her curiosity, but without further inquiry, Chen Yini complied, operating once more.
With swift efficiency, the peculiar energy flowed into Loong Chen's body once again.
However, this time, Loong Chen shut his eyes, initiating his divine psychokinesis to probe his own body.
Through the conduit of the strange energy, Loong Chen's divine psychokinesis delved into his flesh and blood, penetrating his cells.
For the first time, Loong Chen gained a clear view of the hidden genes within his cells.
The divine psychokinesis merged with the strange energy, navigating through Loong Chen's countless cells. After five minutes, the strange energy abruptly collided with an obstruction, resulting in an explosion.
Loong Chen directed his divine psychokinesis towards the impediment, and in an instant, he perceived what seemed like a door.
It was as if Loong Chen had glimpsed a doorway opening before him.
There was a lock on the door.
“Is this a genetic lock? Must I unlock it to transcend the constraints of the Grandmaster and ascend to the King Level?”
Loong Chen brimmed with anticipation.
His divine psychokinesis brushed against the lock, yet he abruptly realized he lacked the key.
Despite pondering extensively, Loong Chen couldn't devise a solution.
“If I can't locate the key, I'll forcibly breach the barrier!”
Loong Chen resolved firmly. Hesitation had no place in his character; he harbored no fear of potential repercussions from forcefully unlocking the door. Regardless, the System could serve as his fallback.
Once devoid of inhibitions, fear ceased to exist.
“Unlock!”
Loong Chen's divine psychokinesis coalesced into a fist, striking the lock.
With a faint noise, the genetic lock quivered violently, yet remained stubbornly shut.
“Could it be that the potency of my divine psychokinesis is insufficient?”
Loong Chen speculated inwardly. Once more, he unleashed a forceful blow, only to meet the same outcome.
Given this situation, his immediate recourse was to enhance his divine psychokinesis capabilities.
With this in mind, Loong Chen opened his eyes, only to be greeted by a visage marred by concern.
That face belonged to Chen Yini, who was gazing at him intently.
Chen Yini had been under the impression that Loong Chen might have encountered some trouble, observing his prolonged eye closure.
While she was immersed in her worries, Loong Chen abruptly opened his eyes, startling her.
“Are you okay? You gave me quite a scare.”
With her hand on her slightly raised chest, Chen Yini spoke, her voice tinged with residual fear.
Having been saved by Loong Chen, she feared that any mistake on her part that led to his harm in the lab would weigh heavily on her conscience.
“I'm alright.”
Loong Chen reassured her, shaking his head as he noticed the concern in her eyes, which instilled a sense of warmth within him.
The fact that someone was worried about him brought him considerable comfort.
“There's no need for disappointment. Just give me a few more months, and I assure you, I'll successfully unlock your genetic potential.”
Interpreting Loong Chen's demeanor as frustration from failure, Chen Yini hastened to console him.
A direct gaze from Loong Chen caused Chen Yini's cheeks to blush.
