Chapter 257 - Precarious Situation
As the young man noticed the changes in David's body , he frowned as he muttered. "A strength based bloodline?"
Scrutinising David carefully with interest, he seem to have noticed something and his frown deepened. Then he inspected more deeply he opened his mouth and he stuttered. Pointing at David with an expression of disbelief "Y-you are still at the Spryher stage?"
He was only starting to notice the flow of blood from David's body was increasingly getting stronger and faster. At first, he had thought it as because he was in combat state and hadn't put it to mind. But then he noticed David's speed of revolution was getting faster and faster which was supposed to be impossible for a Phaser.
A Phaser's blood revolution would only remain fixed when they advanced from the Spryher stage to become Phasers and with time, the sound of the blood revolution would become silent and concealed.
But David's blood flow as getting faster and even more stronger, which could only mean one thing, he was still at the Spryher stage.
He couldn't believe it. Although there were plenty of geniuses out there that could defeat Phasers when still at the Spryher stage, there was no way they could have defeated two dual gene Phaser so quickly like David had done previously.
Moreover, no Spryher could take his attacks without being killed. And even if they survived the impact of his attacks, there was no way they would last a few seconds without dying under his genetic force.
But this guy also seen to be unaffected by his genetic force and only seem to be injured under his attack's impact.
Which means there must be a huge secret on this boy that made him stronger than he actually supposed to be.
His eyes glowed brightly as he stared at David with an inconcealable greed. He felt as though David was his golden goose.
If he could obtain this secret, it would be incredible and if he could also obtain the Nightcore too, it would be even more fantastic.
David didn't respond to the question but his expression wasn't looking too good. This guy was even more perceptive and was able to notice such details during this moment.
Without even waiting for an answer, the young man's figure blurred into several after images once more as he charged at David like a ghost.
This time, David was able to see his movements clearly.
He backtrack speedily but his speed was just barely enough as a fist passed by his face, brushing his nose and drawing out slight blood.
The young man was surprised but even more excited as the stronger David was, the better his secrets would be.
He was relentless as he struck his other clenched fist against David's should.
David sidestepped, also managing to barely dodge the fist.
David clearly da w the trajectory of the attacks, he just want fast enough to clearly evade it. But with the overwhelming control he has over his own body, he was barely able to utilise the smallest amount of movement to evade the attacks.
Seeing as his attacks were being dodged at close combat, The young man paused in his tracks and activated his genes and a sharp claw almost a foot long grew out from his nails -The sharp claw gene. While numerous light red scales grew out from his body, arranging themselves smoothly on him. The scale body gene.
But this gene was even more exquisite than the normal scale body gene as the colour was different then usual.
That was all, a two meters long thick crocodile like tail grew out from the young man's back, swinging and hitting the ground with strength, producing dust – The Tail gene. And it was even more different than the normal one.
It seems this young man was planning to enter the Beast Transformation stage. What incredible ambition.
Some people were quite aware that they had no hopes in of advancing once they reached the Phaser stage and would choose to select and merge with genes that would help them survive in a world like this and boost their combat strength significantly.
Which was why they wouldn't be specific with the gene they would choose and instead mix them all up. And follow the class they had selected to be. Like the scouting class, the tank class, etc.
For example, instead of choosing according to the genetic map of the chosen beast if they can afford it, they could just choose the gene randomly to increase their chances I'd survival.
The scouting class gene map may include; The Night vision gene.
The Far sight gene.
The Thermal sight gene.
The echolocation gene. Etc.
There are different genes to choose from that they were even endless. The only problem is that they are very expensive to acquire. But are certainly cheaper than the Legendary genes and other graded genes.
But the young man had clearly bought his own genetic map and had selected already had three of the genes in his gene pool. Which showed just how ambitious and rich he was.
"Do you know that if one merges with three genes, one receives a significant boost in strength and also a single ability." The young man suddenly spoke as he walked in a circle around David with his tail swinging behind his back.
As he heard this, David frowned and his eyes stared at the young man with an expression of horror on his face.
The young man smiled sinisterly as he saw David's reaction. "I have never tested this ability on someone before. You should be grateful to be the first person." His laugh resounded in the forest and he opened his mouth wide at David.
Massive amount of scorching hot flames erupted from his mouth and spread in all directions, spurting out towards David.
The ground sizzled and melted as showed signs of turning to gas.
David's heart thumped loudly in fear and his eyes widened in horror.. As he felt a temperature more than ten times hotter than his Formless Heat poured at him.
