The Genetic Lock was the biggest shackle for humans in the Purple Moon era.
It was mysterious, illusory, and yet real at the same time. It was the biggest obstacle that stopped the powerhouses from advancing.
Other than the first time Tang Ling sensed it during the Genetic Chain Talent test, he could not sense it at all.
However, this time, when Tang Ling swallowed the sixteenth energy potion, he suddenly felt a resistance from his body.
Where exactly did the resistance come from? Tang Ling had no idea at first. He continued to meditate with the Thousand Satin skill and absorb the energy potion.
He thought that the resistance was because the golden period was about to end and his absorption rate had slowed down.
Slowly, however, things started to go wrong.
He realized that the energy that was supposed to be compressed in every part of his body started to flow towards his dantian.
Was there such a situation? When the golden period was over, the absorbed energy would flow towards his dantian? That was not what the information said. The golden period mainly referred to the absorption of energy by the body. There was no record of the energy being diverted to the dantian.
"When the golden period is over, the only thing that will happen is … the body can't absorb any more energy. If the energy wants to flow to the dantian, I'll have to specially direct the energy to the dantian and compress it. " Doubts rose in Tang Ling's heart at that moment, but he dared not stop absorbing the energy during the golden period.
After all, he now had the physical attributes of the Blue-eyed White Lion king. Theoretically speaking, he could also be treated as a human-shaped lion cub.
If he could absorb the energy properly, his physical attributes would definitely surpass the limits of a human and he would have the physical attributes of a vicious beast.
In other words, the physical attributes of the Blue-eyed White Lion king cub (the ones that had yet to break through the genetic lock) would be the same in the future.
Tang Ling did not want to wait until he became a Purple Moon Warrior. He wanted to possess the physical attributes of a lion cub before he became a Rank 1 Purple Moon Warrior. That would be ideal.
Therefore, the golden period of absorption became the key. Tang Ling dared not be distracted at all.
Other than that, according to the records, the maximum absorption during the golden period was half of the energy. In other words, he relied on the golden period to absorb half of the original vicious beast's physical attributes.
Of course, this still depended on the type of gene medicine absorbed. Generally speaking, Strength Potions were the easiest to absorb, and the lower the level of the Origin Beast of the gene potion, the smaller the changes, and the easier it was to absorb.
Even as a perfectionist as he was, he knew it was unrealistic to fully fill up his body before he became a Rank 1 Purple Moon Warrior. After all, the little seed's first transformation left a loophole in his body. Although he could use this opportunity to fill up the loophole without holding back, from a certain perspective, it would still be a burden.
"Therefore, being able to absorb half of it is not an extravagant hope. Then a third, a third … 'Tang Ling thought in his heart. The little seed had exhausted a lot of its life force and was washed away by the sudden energy, so it had fallen into a deep slumber again.
However, at that very moment when the thought flashed across his mind, he realized in shock that his' insight 'suddenly changed.
Normally, when he cultivated the Thousand Satin Skill, the insight that appeared in his visualization world was the body's meridians and the vortex in his dantian.
At this moment, he suddenly saw a crisscrossing road that spiraled upwards. Only a small part of the road was bare, and most of it was shrouded in white mist.
He was at the edge of the mist.
When he looked up at the mist, the first thing he saw was that it was extremely thin. There was a vortex in the middle of the mist and above the vortex was a lock.
"The gene lock!" Tang Ling was shocked when he saw the scene. He was no stranger to this place. It was his Genetic Chain Visualization, wasn't it?
His memory of it was not that distant. More than a year ago, he had entered Safety Sector No. 17 before.
Back then, with the help of the Genetic Chain Measuring Machine and the help of the visualization diagram, he was able to see the gene lock.
After that, no matter how strong Tang Ling's spirit was compared to his peers, he could not see his gene lock anymore. Out of curiosity, he tried to see it twice, but it was to no avail.
Therefore, Tang Ling believed that without the help of the Genetic Chain Measuring Machine, he would never be able to see the gene lock. So, what's going on now?
Tang Ling stood on the spot in a daze. He did not know that there was another way to see the gene lock, which was the so-called 'natural breakthrough'!
Did it mean that some geniuses who had accumulated enough energy would break through naturally and they did not need to do anything?
Speaking of accumulation, Tang Ling had almost reached the limit. The strength of nine bulls and two tigers, the iron body, the spirit that far surpassed his peers, the rich battle experience, and the never-ending cultivation filled his dantian to the brim even though it was not a solid state yet. In fact, no one had ever accumulated so much energy before. Lastly, there was the gene serum.
It was so heaven-defying that if he did not break through naturally, who else could?
However, Tang Ling did not have the means to understand the situation. Even then, the little seed was still in a deep slumber.
In the midst of his daze, Tang Ling felt like he was being led by some kind of force to the vortex.
The moment he touched the whirlpool, the whirlpool automatically generated an airflow that sent him to the lock hanging above the whirlpool.
Tang Ling was even more dazed than before. He felt like he was still there, but his consciousness had been pulled away and he was now a bystander. He was watching himself face to face with the gene lock.
At the same time, Tang Ling also felt a strange feeling. If he wanted to attack the gene lock in front of him, he could mobilize all the energy in his body, including the accumulated energy in his dantian.
He was confident that he could break the gene lock before he ran out of energy.
After he broke the gene lock …
All the shackles that restrained him at his current stage would disappear and all his abilities would grow without limit. The more he accumulated, the more powerful his growth would be.
On top of that, he could even break some of the human shackles! What were the shackles? He had no idea at the moment, but as long as he broke the lock, he would know.
In the end, behind the lock, there was a mysterious force that called out to him.
For example …
Was this his true talent ability? Or would his Precise Instinct evolve again?
With that thought in mind, Tang Ling's body trembled. An incomparable temptation started to corrode his rationality.
Back in the real world, Tang Ling was still mechanically pouring the concentrated energy potion into his body. His body was like a sponge that could absorb energy. It was the benefit of the iron body that the copper-faced man had forged for him!
Unavoidably, more and more energy started to flow to his dantian.
How long was the golden time? Was it over? Tang Ling had no idea at the moment. All he could think about was breaking the gene lock.
With that in mind, he raised his fist in front of the gene lock.
A voice echoed in his head. 'Now is the best time. The more you accumulate, the harder it is to break the gene lock.'
What did that mean? Tang Ling could not think! He clenched his fist and started to accumulate energy. Then, he raised his fist and all his aura was accumulated to its limit.
Boom! Tang Ling punched out. It was the simplest straight punch, and he punched the gene lock.
It was at that moment that the little seed's anxious voice came from Tang Ling's Genetic Chain Visualization World. "No!"
When he heard the voice, Tang Ling's eyes suddenly cleared up.
Swoosh! He abruptly retracted his power, causing a gentle breeze to rise around his body.
In the real world, Tang Ling was trembling and his face was flushed. Accepting the gift at a time like this would harm his body. Moreover, Tang Ling was still under the 1.5 times gravity.
The little seed cried out once before it went silent.
Tang Ling took a deep breath after he came back to his senses. Compared to the temptation, there were other things that were more important, such as the trust in the little seed.
"Now is not the time." Tang Ling clenched his fists tightly. The temptation that came from his soul was still there, and he had to use a lot of willpower to resist it.
"With three resources, I can evolve into a perfect rank 1 Purple Moon Warrior. There must be a reason behind this! So …
"Now is not the time! I want to get out! " At the end of his thought, Tang Ling suddenly shouted and punched the vortex below him.
It was originally a breeze from the whirlpool that dragged Tang Ling up, but when Tang Ling's punch landed, the breeze that dragged Tang Ling was scattered all of a sudden.
Tang Ling landed heavily on the ground. Only then did he feel like his consciousness had returned to him. Following the return of his senses, he felt lucky as if he had survived a disaster.
He never thought that absorbing the gene medicine would trigger an opportunity for him to break the gene lock. Breaking the gene lock usually required all kinds of preparations and even some special items.
He did not know what would happen if he missed this opportunity. He also did not know what would happen if he did not break through this time. Boss Huang was not around after all, so a normal person would not be able to answer such a deep question.
However, Tang Ling knew that if he really accepted the temptation and broke through this time, he would regret it.
As his mind went blank, Tang Ling finally walked out of the Genetic Chain Visualization World and went back to cultivation.
His golden period was not over yet because his body was still absorbing the energy, but strangely enough, his dantian did not split the energy anymore.
Then, he would continue.
