"Active Energy Body"

"Grade: Average"

"Weight: 53g"

"Remarks: This is an average grade semi-crystalline active body of energy with low amounts of impurities. It\'s an alternative form of energy storage which grows inside the body of mutated creatures that are above the green level. Additinal active energy for emergency purposes can be stored by increasing food and energy intake."

It was an energy crystal indeed!

Luo Yuan began to calm down and started thinking rationally again. He seemed to have figured something out as he looked at the thin layer of Will around him and linked it to the incident earlier. Apparently, his Will had conflicts with remnants of the giant beast\'s Will which still remained in the energy crystal!

Luo Yuan seemed to have found the answer as he thought about the genetic invasion. What is a gene? In Biology, we learned that a gene is an inherited substance which includes DNA and RNA. For this purpose, we will ignore RNA as it only plays a supporting role.

DNA is formed by deoxy-nucleotide chains which comprise of deoxyribose, phosphoric acid and four types of nucleobases. A unicellular organism such as the Paramecium or multicellular organism like human beings have similar DNA structures. However, everything had now changed due to the outbreak of mutations which caused various strong creatures to slowly appear. If we ignore the element of mystery, it is basically the evolution of original species on Earth into more powerful beings. Other than the minority of deformed "monsters", most creatures were carbon-based and had traces of the past within their DNA.

Suddenly, Luo Yuan thought of mutated humans that failed to evolve properly. They ended up being totally different from their ancestors and hated human beings very much. Luo Yuan’s heart was beating rapidly at this point but perhaps the genetic invasion was not as mysterious as what people thought. Its main reason might be the fact that the mutated beast had left its Will in the crystal. Luo Yuan felt pumped up as he looked at the energy crystal lying on his palm calmly.

For ordinary people, it might be considered poison but for him, he just needed to utilize a little more of his Will to maximize its power. However, that was just speculation. It was quite a dangerous object which could cause death if used inappropriately. He needed to conduct more experiments before using it.

Luo Yuan was worried that there would be leftover Will from the mutated beast within the crystal so he tried inserting his Will into the crystal once again. Indeed, the energy crystal moved a few times but it was not as active as before. The crystal remained stationary after a few seconds.

Luo Yuan was still worried so he continued to cleanse the crystal until only his Will was left inside and he only stopped when he could sense his Will connected to the crystal.

He waved at the sheath of his weapon and the Zhanmadao automatically flew out and sliced an artery on his wrist. Blood immediately gushed out and floated in the air under Luo Yuan’s control. More and more blood oozed out and formed a ball of blood which was about the size of his fist.

The wound on his wrist recovered instantly with a tiny scar once he realized that he had sufficient blood. Luo Yuan frowned as he saw there was a little blood on the scar. He then utilized his healing powers again and the wound was finally closed. The scar even disappeared after 10 seconds. He had forgotten that his Zhanmadao had a passive ability to cause bleeding after it was modified.

After that, he scratched some powder from the surface of the energy crystal and sprayed it on the ball of blood.

The powder dissolved in the blood and it began to change. The temperature of the blood increased and it began to bubble like a pot of boiling water. A good aroma slowly spread around as the blood changed and triggered the hunger in Luo Yuan.

After a while, the blood had stopped any traces of movement. Luo Yuan watched the ball of blood and waited for a few minutes. He felt relieved and thought, "I guess I was right."

The next experiment would be the most dangerous one. He used his Will to move the blood into his mouth and swallowed it.

The reason he did not inject the ball of blood directly into his bloodstream was to protect himself. He could vomit out the ball of blood to save his life if something went wrong. The blood flowed into his stomach via his throat and he started feeling a burning sensation within his stomach instantly. His body heated up and he opened his eyes wide as he felt an excitement within himself. Every single cell in his body was eager to absorb the active energy. Unfortunately, there was not much energy to absorb as the feeling of excitement came and left in a few seconds, leaving him slightly disappointed when he recovered.

Since he has confirmed it was safe to use, he cut a thin slice from the energy crystal and put it into his mouth. The energy was 100 times more than the previous one. He felt like he was being struck by lightning as his brain instantly went blank and his entire body turned a shade of dark red and was surrounded by steam and heat.

He was sitting on the floor stationary while a strong force flowed in his body as every cell hungrily absorbed the energy from the crystal. The cells became packed and soft as the mitochondria duplicated rapidly and his bones got stronger...

"Consumption of active energy body. Physique +1"

"Consumption of active energy body. Physique +1"

The system repeated the notification, but Luo Yuan did not hear it. He finally recovered after one minute with a long howl.

"Brother Luo, what’s happening?" The door suddenly opened and Chen Jiayi broke into the room. Apparently, she was frightened by his long howl.

"I’m fine, just leave me alone." Luo Yuan said gently.

However, Chen Jiayi was shocked as she saw Luo Yuan, "Brother Luo! Your… your face looks very skinny!"

Luo Yuan realized his shirt was very big and he felt a lot of breeze inside it. He then touched his face and realized it had shrunk a little.

However, that was a small matter to him and he truly did not care. It happened before when he did self-treatment in the jail of the Desert City, and he can easily recover by eating more food.

Luo Yuan took another slice after Chen Jiayi left the room. The energy grade of the crystal was very high and the energy was powerful. His Physique had been upgraded by two points throughout the process. It plateaued since then. He finally finished the crystal and there was a tiny semi-transparent crystal that grew inside his heart.

Both of his Strength and Physique had been upgraded to 17-points which were more than his Agility. The entire energy crystal has helped him to upgrade five properties and that was amazing!

He could feel that his new skinny body was full of an explosive power. Besides that, his senses had changed after his Physique upgraded.

The quiet room became very noisy as he could see different shapes of the dust flying in the air like meteorites. He could smell the snacks Wang Shishi tried to hide and he could feel the friction of air on his skin.

It was a wonderful feeling as another side of the world seemed to be revealed. Once the veil was lifted, he was able to see the world the way it was intended, in all its glorious beauty.

…

Of course, there was also a major change in his fighting power.

17-points of Strength was equivalent to about 16 times the Strength of normal people. He could now lift an object that weighed up to 1.2 tons and his 15-points of Agility allowed him to move an object weighing more than 10 tons with a single hand.

Tyson could break a five millimeter steel plate with 0.5 tons of Strengths and Luo Yuan could very well destroy a tank with his current level of Strength which was more powerful than heavy artillery! He need not cheat now if he happened to fight Fang Peibin again.
