Super Gene Hunting Ground-Chapter 732: The Bottleneck of Evolution

Gu Lei's explanation made Yang Xiao suddenly have an epiphany.

In fact, the gap between him and those Emperor Level Evolvers around him lay in the time factor. Emperor Level Evolvers like David, Ah Bao, Qing Mu, and others were actually decades older than him. In addition to talent, what they relied on more was the accumulation of time to complete the evolution from King Level to Emperor Level.

Yang Xiao had only been away from Earth for half a year but he was hoping to break through to the Emperor Level overnight and surpass the formidable beings around him, which was an immature expectation to begin with.

Previously, as a slave miner at the bottom of society, Yang Xiao naturally thought about breaking through genetic evolution every day; his heart was constantly filled with anxiety and insecurity.

Now the situation was different, not only because he had shed the status of a slave but, more importantly, because he had the strong backing of the wild man and had amassed a huge amount of evolution resources. He no longer felt so anxious and desperate about his future destiny, and could even begin to take control of his short-term destiny.

Looking at Gu Lei, Yang Xiao laughed and said:

"Brother Gu, I'm short on Crystal Coins today. Could you front me a bottle of Genetic Potion worth a hundred million Crystal Coins to help Zhao Benling break through to the King Level Intermediate Stage? I'll pay you back in Crystal Coins in a few days after settling the accounts."

"No problem, just a hundred million Crystal Coins? How could I not trust someone as rich as you?"

Gu Lei agreed readily and, with a casual gesture, a bottle of concentrated Genetic Potion flew in front of Zhao Benling.

Zhao Benling glanced at Yang Xiao,

Yang Xiao nodded at him, signaling him to drink it quickly.

Without further hesitation, Zhao Benling grabbed the bottle and started drinking.

With Yang Xiao's current status as a tycoon, a hundred million Crystal Coins was truly a trifle; naturally, Gu Lei was not worried about not being repaid by Yang Xiao.

This Genetic Store was doing exceptionally good business with enormous transaction volumes. Working here, Gu Lei quickly received recognition and rewards from Gustone.

After Zhao Benling finished drinking the Genetic Potion, all four of his attributes broke through the 80-point mark, successfully entering the King Level Intermediate Stage.

Zhao Benling was thrilled,

"Yang, Brother Yang, I—I've broken through! I've reached the King Level Intermediate Stage."

"Look how happy you are. If you broke through to the Emperor Level in one go, wouldn't you be so happy you'd fly to heaven?"

"Emperor Level? Heh, I don't even dare to think about that! I'm afraid I wouldn't be able to repay the Crystal Coins I owe you in my lifetime."

Zhao Benling scratched his head and laughed naively.

Beside them, Gu Lei said:

"What stage have you reached in your cultivation of the Genetic Transformation Technique?"

Yang Xiao was stunned and looked at Gu Lei,

"Why do you suddenly ask, Brother Gu? Back on Earth, we only practiced Body Refinement and Bone Forging."

Zhao Benling only practiced Body Refinement; only Yang Xiao, Gu Beifeng, and Du Tianxing had practiced Bone Forging.

Hearing this, Gu Lei smiled slightly and with a flick of his hand, two Jade Pendants flew towards Yang Xiao and Zhao Benling.

Yang Xiao and Zhao Benling reached out to catch the Jade Pendants.

"Brother Gu, what are these?"

"These are our Witch Star's Genetic Transformation Techniques, consider them gifts from me. They include Body Refinement, Bone Forging, Yijin, but not Marrow Cleansing. If you want to break through to the Emperor Level Evolution, you'll need to complete the Third Stage of the Yijin cvultivation. Otherwise, no matter how many resources you have, you won't be able to break through to the Emperor Level."

Yang Xiao and Zhao Benling were shocked,

The two had originally thought that with enough evolution resources, they could break through to the Emperor Level within a day; they did not expect this issue to suddenly arise.

"Brother Yang, Qin Lu's father owns a mining business, do you think he would lack Crystal Coins?

But up to now, Qin Lu is merely at the Intermediate King Level, he hasn't even broken through to the High-Level, and that's because his Genetic Transformation Technique only cultivated up to Bone Forging and hasn't yet reached Yijin,

Without cultivating Yijin, he will never be able to break through to the Emperor Level,

In the process of Genetic Evolution, everyone's physique is different, and the speed of evolution, the energy needed for evolution all differ greatly,

For instance, to increase your Strength Attribute from 70 points to 80 points, you spent three hundred million Crystal Coins, while Zhao Benling only spent one hundred million; this is due to the differences in your Innate physiques, as the Beast Souls hidden within you are not the same,

Starting from awakening the Beast Soul, those with inferior Innate physiques will continuously be weeded out,

Only those with excellent Innate physiques and who also possess a large amount of Evolution resources can keep moving forward,

You are Earth's first batch of King Level Evolvers, so naturally you all stand out in terms of Innate physique. However, once a human's physical constitution reaches the King Level, they encounter the Innate genetic bottleneck. Without improving the genes within the body, it's difficult to make further advancements,

That's why we, the people of Witch Star, after thousands of years of research, have gradually summarized the Genetic Transformation Technique, which can assist us in breaking through the shackles of genetic evolution, to reach a new Realm."

Yang Xiao glanced at Gu Lei, holding the Jade Token in his hand, a stream of light entered his arm, and then into his mind.

This was a Genetic Transformation Technique containing three stages: Body Refinement, Bone Forging, and Yijin, which was now integrated into Yang Xiao's consciousness.

Yang Xiao reviewed the Genetic Transformation Technique from his consciousness; it was indeed similar to what was learned on Earth, just with the addition of the new stage, Yijin.

Yang Xiao examined the 'Yijin' Technique, and his mind was suddenly abuzz,

"Holy crap, isn't this almost the same as the Yijin Scripture from Shaolin Temple? Could there really be such a coincidence in this world?"

Yang Xiao was greatly shocked and excitedly reviewed the entire content of the Yijin Skill from beginning to end. Aside from a few details that were off, the overall content was more than eighty percent similar to the Yijin Scripture of Shaolin Temple.

"Damn it, could it be that the people of Witch Star stole the Martial Arts Secret Manual from Shaolin Temple a long time ago?"

Yang Xiao murmured in his heart and his face naturally revealed surprise, Gu Lei saw this and asked:

"Brother Yang, is there any issue?"

Yang Xiao was startled and quickly said:

"No, um, I just had a question to ask, about those monsters in the Primitive Forest and the wild people, how can they evolve to Emperor Level without practicing the Genetic Transformation Technique?"

"Ha ha, that's a good question, and actually it's quite simple. The wild people's and monsters' physiques are different from us Witch Star people; their bodies are more suited to the natural world's genetic evolution. With the constant accumulation of resources, after several decades of evolution, they could slowly enter the Emperor Level,

You ask those wild people around you, none of the Emperor Level Evolvers are under fifty years old,

Speaking of this, I must remind Brother Yang, monsters evolve quickly, and you should still control the speed of your plan to feed Demon Beasts with Crystal Stone Powder, otherwise, who knows what troubles may come your way one day."

Gu Lei had been in the base for three or four months, and he noticed a lot of things about Yang Xiao, who didn't hide much from him.

The wild people's practice of feeding Demon Beasts with Crystal Stone Powder was no secret on Purple Origin Star, having bumped into Ah Bao and a group of guards grinding Crystal Stones into powder several times, Gu Lei naturally knew what they were doing.

In Gu Lei's view, the quantity of Crystal Stone Powder that Ah Bao recently ground was increasing, so he reminded Yang Xiao.

"Thanks for the reminder, Brother Gu, I will control it appropriately."

After leaving the Genetic Store, Yang Xiao said to Zhao Benling:

"After work today, contact Gu Beifeng, Du Tianxing, and a few others, have each one of them purchase this Genetic Transformation Technique from the Genetic Store. Starting now, besides your mining work, allocate a lot of time to practice the Genetic Transformation Technique,

You don't need to worry about the resources; after some time, I will focus on evolving all of you together, I will help you to ultimately evolve to the Emperor Level Stage, but whether you can reach that stage depends on your own efforts."
