Chapter 174 Petrification

Pain. Lin Feng had almost never felt such intense pain before. Even his consciousness was gradually blurring. It was as if he had transformed into a massive Pangolin Beast demon, roaring in the wilderness.

The genes of demons were far stronger than the four types of dire beast genes that Lin Feng had fused in the past. Hence, as Lin Feng fused, he felt as if a Pangolin Beast demon had been forcefully stuffed into his body. The intense pain was indescribable.

In fact, Lin Feng’s entire body was covered in blood. His skin split apart and rapidly recovered. His blood vessels ruptured, and instantly recovered as well. His cells divided on and on without stopping.

Lin Feng could clearly feel the insane increment to his strength, and it was increasing at a very fast rate. Whether it was his strength or even physique, all aspects of his body were improving.

This was the benefit of fusing dire beast genes. One’s physique could obtain a huge improvement in a very short period of time. Even the speed of the slow metamorphosis his body was undergoing after breaking the genetic lock suddenly increased. In a very short period of time, his body would probably complete metamorphosing.

Lin Feng sensed the “hunger” in his body. He was very “hungry” now, and felt like he could eat a horse. Lin Feng understood that be it the metamorphosis of his body or the fusion of the Pangolin Beast demon genes, a large amount of energy was needed to convert the various nutrients his body needed.

Fortunately, Lin Feng carried nutrient solutions with him at all times. This was almost a habit that Lin Feng had developed. It was to prepare for fusing dire beast genes suddenly and prevent nutritional deficiencies in such cases.

Lin Feng immediately took out five bottles of high-grade nutrient solutions. Each bottle was expensive and contained a large amount of nutrients. Lin Feng tipped them all into his mouth.

Splash.

Originally, the nutrient solution needed to be injected in order to be absorbed as quickly as possible and not result in waste. However, with Lin Feng’s current physique, how could they be injected? The needle might not even be able to pierce through Lin Feng’s skin.

Hence, he could only drink them. Fortunately, Lin Feng’s digestive system was also very efficient, and almost did not waste any nutrients. A large amount of nutrients was absorbed into his bloodstream, and as his blood continued to surge, it was quickly transferred to all the muscles and bones in his body.

Lin Feng no longer felt “hungry”, and his physical condition gradually stabilized. About three hours later, Lin Feng opened his eyes.

He clenched his hands gently and felt that there was a power in his body that far exceeded that from before. With a light wave of his hand, he could even make explosive sounds with the force.

“Armor.”

With a thought from Lin Feng, the armor immediately covered his entire body. At this moment, he had a very strange feeling. It was as if he could do something with the armor instinctively.

Buzz.

With a thought from Lin Feng, a layer of gray light gradually appeared on his armor, before covering it.

Crack. Crack.

The originally soft and tough cuticle armor actually seemed to be covered in a hard shell under the gray light. This feeling gave Lin Feng a sense of déjà vu.

He gently touched the gray shell with his hand, and an idea flashed through his mind.

“The Petrification ability of the Pangolin Beast!”

Lin Feng remembered. This was clearly the petrification ability of the Pangolin Beasts. Once the Pangolin Beasts used petrification, their defense could increase by several times, making them very difficult to deal with.

Previously, Lin Feng had been a little hesitant. He did not know if fusing the genes of demons would allow him to obtain innate abilities. After all, when he fused the genes of dire beasts previously, he had not obtained any innate abilities. He had only obtained them after breaking his genetic lock and also the genetic locks of the dire beasts.

As for demons, their genetic locks were broken at birth. Could Lin Feng obtain innate abilities by fusing the genes of demons?

Lin Feng did not know. But now, looking at the gray shell on his armor, a smile appeared on Lin Feng’s lips. He had obtained an innate ability. The genes of the Pangolin Beast demon had given him the innate ability of petrification.

With this petrified shell, Lin Feng’s defense had increased by at least two or three times. This was a pleasant surprise. If he encountered the giant Pangolin Beast again, with such powerful defense, it might be possible for him to do better than not even holding up to a single strike.

“There’s also strength. The genes of the Pangolin Beast demons are truly powerful. Originally, I only had 380 tons of strength. Even if I complete my metamorphosis, I would only have about 420 tons of strength.”

“But now, my strength has reached almost 600 tons!”

Lin Feng clenched his fists. He had never felt such powerful strength. Easily attaining 600 tons of strength with raw physical strength was unheard of.

Hence, he immediately checked the other various data on his body.

Physique: 800.25

Strength: 731.46

Agility: 234.65 Skills: Wild Bovine’s Might (Mastered, comprehended Wild Bovine’s True Intent), Nonuple Body Tempering Level Four (Mastered, condensed four Spiral Forces), Lightning Arc Blade Technique (Mastered)

Innate Skills: Defensive Armor, Sharp Horn, Undying Characteristic, Strength Enhancement, Petrification

Astral Power Cultivation Technique: Astral Swirl, Astra Devourer

Astral Martial Arts: Void Bubble

n

Genetic Fusion: Wild Bovine genes, Unicorn genes, Proboscis Beast genes, Screwworm genes, Pangolin Beast demon genes

Genetic Capacity: 96%

Double. Lin Feng’s physique and strength data almost doubled, and his agility also increased by a large margin. However, these data were actually no longer of much use to Lin Feng. He usually did not even look at such data.

The further one’s various physical attributes progressed, the faster they would actually improve. They could not be judged by common sense.

Apart from the various data, Lin Feng’s innate abilities indeed had a new inclusion of petrification. The fused genes also had a new inclusion of Pangolin Beast demon genes.

At this moment, his genetic capacity had reached 96%. In other words, Lin Feng could only fuse with the genes of one Pangolin Beast demon. It was completely impossible for him to fuse with the genes of the Terrestrial Ant demon too.

This was unless Lin Feng could undergo a second life transition. That way, his genetic capacity would increase, and he would be able to fuse more dire beast genes.

At this moment, Lin Feng could clearly feel that the metamorphosis of his body had already ended. It must have been affected by the genetic fusion. Originally, it might have taken a few months for the metamorphosis to end. He did not expect it to end so quickly.

However, this was a good thing. After Lin Feng’s metamorphosis, his various physical attributes had improved. In addition, after fusing the Pangolin Beast genes, his physique had improved in all aspects. Be it his strength or defense, they had all improved tremendously.

At this moment, just his 600 tons of strength had exceeded the strength obtainable to a First Level Metamorphic Realm martial artist who’s unleashing all their Astral Power.

Moreover, Lin Feng discovered something even more surprising.

As his physique improved, Lin Feng’s Astral Power limit actually loosened slightly. This practically confirmed Lin Feng’s bold hypothesis from before.
