The strengthening tally of the Heart Monkey Gene increased from 2 to 4, and his vitality stat increased explosively by 150.
Every point of strengthening of a transcendent gene would bring about a tremendous transformation to the body.
Feng Lin's muscles trembled. His entire body and face started to turn blurry like flowing water, constantly changing.
The Heart Monkey Force was capable of transformation!
The higher the strengthening points, the stronger the transformation ability.
Feng Lin's attainments in the art of transformation had reached an even higher level. He could transform with a single thought and could do as he pleased. There was no need for him to intentionally use it.
The speed of the transformation was even faster, and it was completed in the blink of an eye.
And that was not all.
Feng Lin felt that he had reached an even higher and wondrous realm. His consciousness had broken through the limits of dimensions, crossing the boundary between macroscopic and microscopic, and he could sense the essence of everything in the world. This was a view that allowed him to sense everything in the world.
The Heart Monkey Force distorted the world, filling up the space like clouds and mist. He could sense everything in the world, not missing out on anything.
Feng Lin felt that as long as he exerted the slightest bit of force, he would be able to change everything.
Could this be the Matter Transformation?
Feng Lin couldn't help but speculate. The art of transformation could be divided into three types according to the level of one's cultivation base. They were Form Change, Matter Change, and Divine Change.
Shapeshifting only changed the shape of the object. It could not affect the inner nature. Mountains were mountains, and water was water.
On the other hand, Matter Transformation was a change in the essence of matter. A mountain was no longer a mountain, and water was no longer water.
Water can be turned into fire, copper into jade, mud into stone …
According to scientific principles, it was changing matter at the molecular or even atomic level.
Feng Lin's heart stirred, instinctively activating his Heart Monkey Force. He gathered the water vapor in the air and formed a ball of water in his palm. It started to change, wanting to transform it into flames.
At the next instant, he felt an intense pain in the center of his brows. He felt his Heart Monkey Force gushing out like floodwaters, instantly squeezing him dry.
Under his great shock, he quickly stopped what he was doing. A ball of sparks suddenly burst out from the center of the ball of water, but it was immediately extinguished.
Feng Lin could sense that it wasn't that he couldn't transform water into fire. It was just that the consumption was too great.
Even if this small ball of water could turn him into a dried up person, his flesh and blood would not dry up.
What was the reason for this?
Matter Transformation was a qualitative change that far surpassed Shape Transformation. It was normal for it to expend more Heart Monkey Force.
However, such a huge amount was a little too exaggerated and had no practical value at all.
This didn't make sense.
There had to be a reason that he had yet to figure out.
Feng Lin started to fumble around, starting from the simplest body transformation.
If one were to ask what he understood the most, it would undoubtedly be …
Feng Lin's body shook, and at the next instant, golden fur grew all over his body. A golden-furred monkey wearing clothes appeared at his original location. He blinked his eyes in a daze, appearing extremely comical and ridiculous.
Feng Lin was shocked.
His transformation this time was no longer a smokescreen like before. It was just that his appearance was similar, but …
He had truly become a monkey!
Apart from possessing intelligence, he discovered that his organs and body structure were exactly the same as that of a monkey. He had truly become a monkey.
If he were to take off his clothes and blend into the crowd of monkeys, even the most advanced technology in the universe wouldn't be able to distinguish him.
They were real monkeys to begin with, so how could they tell the difference between real and fake?
Feng Lin didn't know whether to laugh or cry.
No matter how much he thought about it, he never expected that he would really become a monkey!
Could it be that he was destined to become that monkey?
No, that's not all!
With a single thought, Feng Lin's body transformed again, turning into a brightly colored tiger. With a loud roar, the tiger's roar echoed throughout the forest.
However, this tiger of his was extremely strange. He had a tiger's head and a human's body, and there were brightly colored patterns on his skin like tattoos.
Half-human half-tiger, like a demon or devil, his transformation was incomplete!
After that, he started to transform again. He had a human's body and a snake's tail, a birdman with wings on his back, a mermaid with gills …
All sorts of strange creatures appeared, combining the characteristics of animals and humans. They were neither human nor ghost.
Feng Lin gradually understood the truth behind this transformation ability.
Substance Transformation could indeed change the nature of matter, but it wasn't something that could be used recklessly.
Firstly, one had to have sufficient understanding of the nature of the thing that was being transformed. Only then would one be able to transform flexibly. Secondly, the greater the transformation, the more Heart Monkey Force would be expended.
Feng Lin walked on the Sun Wukong Mythological Path and naturally had a clear understanding of the life structure of a monkey. He could transform instantly.
As for tigers, birds, fishes … he only had a half-understanding of their biological structure. Hence, what he transformed into would be neither fish nor fishes.
However, this showed the huge difference between Substance Transformation and Shape Transformation.
Shape Transformation was different from Shape Transformation. Substance Transformation involved the true nature of things, completely changing them.
From the outside, there wasn't much difference between the two, but internally, they were completely different.
Substance Transformation distorted reality much more, and the consumption of Heart Monkey Force was even greater. This could be reflected in two aspects. One was macroscopic, and the other was microscopic.
From the macroscopic aspect, the greater the mass and size of the thing, the more Heart Monkey Force would be expended.
Feng Lin sensed that he had the ability to change his size. He tried to transform and discovered that he couldn't continue to transform into a ten-meter-tall giant.
As for the microscopic aspect, he could reverse it from the molecular and atomic level.
A lump of water didn't seem like much, but if he wanted to transform it into fire, he had to change it from the most basic atoms. The greater the degree of subtlety, the greater the consumption of Heart Monkey Force.
Earlier, it was just a small test, but Feng Lin already felt that he was almost squeezed dry.
Substance Transformation was strange, but it was also a double-edged sword. It couldn't be used recklessly.
Feng Lin had just awakened the Spiritual Stone Monkey Gene, and his ability to transform was undoubtedly still very weak.
He even suspected that even if he strengthened his gene to the maximum of ten points, he wouldn't be able to transform as he pleased.
The awakening of genes was the awakening of one's innate talent. The strengthening of genes was essentially just an enhancement of one's innate talent. It didn't represent one's true strength.
The strength of one's abilities, other than innate talent, was also indispensable. Continuous practice and cultivation would allow one's innate talent to be unleashed to its fullest potential, increasing it limitlessly.
For example, even if it was the simplest Strength Gene, if you could really raise it to the extreme, wouldn't you be able to prove your dao through strength, transforming into Pangu and splitting the heavens and earth apart?
This point could be seen from the Sun Wukong Mythological Path.
Sun Wukong was a heaven-born Spiritual Stone Monkey. His innate talent could be said to be incomparably powerful. He was proficient in transformations, knew the weather, knew the geography, and could even shift the stars.
However, when he was a nameless stone monkey, he had no one to guide him and could only roam the mountains and forests. At most, he was just a monkey king. It was only until he acknowledged Patriarch Subhuti as his master and learned a set of shocking techniques that he became the Great Sage Equal to Heavens, Sun Wukong, who wreaked havoc in the heavenly palaces.
In this world, there was no such thing as becoming stronger for no reason. Only with effort would there be rewards. The Great Sage Equal to Heavens was also a result of bitter cultivation.
Feng Lin started to experiment with his abilities. His body kept on transforming like flowing water, sometimes turning into a ferocious tiger, sometimes into a golden ape, and sometimes into the appearance of a woman …
His face seemed to be shrouded by layers of fog, ever-changing and hard to fathom.
Chi!
Feng Lin's hands took on the form of tiger claws, testing his prowess. He abruptly slashed down, and a sharp claw mark suddenly appeared on the cliff, penetrating three feet deep into the ground.
If such might landed on a human, that human would surely be torn apart.
Feng Lin stared at his claws in a daze, deep in thought.
In the beginning, Huaxia's ancient martial arts all originated from imitating beasts or weapons.
