Chapter 598: Unlocking the Gene Lock

Translator: Nyoi-Bo Studio Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio

On the other side of the royal shelter was a large mountain . Past the far side of this mountain, however, there wasn't much snow . There was another royal shelter there, controlled by another faction whose owner had unlocked their first gene lock . Developing a shelter on the other side was a difficult thing .

The big mountain in between was called "Devil's Mountain," and it was occupied by a number of powerful creatures . The slopes of the mountain were coarse, rugged, and steep, which put any would-be fighters on that terrain at a big disadvantage . Only a few people possessed what it took to hunt there, but even those never ventured too far .

When Thunderdevil travelled across Devil's Mountain, even he took the long route to avoid the more dangerous zones of that place .

According to what Qi Xiuwen said, the owner of the royal shelter near the Devil's Mountain, called Lu Hui, was the captain of the Blueblood Reserve Force . He was a powerful man, and although he had unlocked his first gene lock, there was a significant gulf in power between him and Thunderdevil .

Han Sen didn't have as many people as he would have liked; the workforce he had was barely enough to keep the royal shelter in operation . His lack of troops was what had driven him to cooperate with others to take the royal shelter .

Now that he had taken the ice fields, with the Devil's Mountain at his back for protection, he was near-enough a king of the ice fields . If he was able to maintain his hold on the ice fields, and stay in his current position, he would earn a lot of money .

Han Sen: Super BodyKing Spirit

Stage: Evolver

Lifespan: 300

Super Body Evolve Requirement: 100 Geno

Owned Geno: Basic Geno, 100 . Ordinary Geno, 100 . Mutant Geno, 100 . Sacred Geno, 39 .

Han Sen had benefited greatly from his assault on the royal shelter, and now his mutant geno amount had maxed out . His sacred geno points had also been given a boost, too . His sacred geno count had reached 39 .

Right now, if he had to gauge his fitness level based on the genos he possessed, he'd put it at 150 . But that was not because of his training .

This number was equal to top-level evolvers . If Han Sen reached surpasser state, he could ascend to become a Celestial Being with a fitness level of three hundred .

But Ji Yanran told him that before he became a surpasser, the higher fitness level he had, the better . There was no need to rush the process .

For now, Han Sen's primary goal was to unlock his gene lock . If he didn't, it would not matter if his fitness was higher than evolvers who had already unlocked theirs . He would still be handicapped and his ability to perform skills would be significantly lessened .

"I have not been able to finish the first tier of Dongxuan Sutra in a reasonable amount of time, so perhaps it would be best if I do give Jadeskin another shot . I hope there won't be any issues with it . " Han Sen, with a renewed resolve, decided to try out Jadeskin once more .

When he unlocked the first tier of Jadeskin, he should have unlocked his gene lock, as well . But this had not come to pass .

Han Sen knew that the variant of Jadeskin he had learnt had some issues, but ever since he absorbed the ice powers from Xue Yikuang, the skill had changed somewhat . Perhaps through further practice with the skill, he'd be able to unlock his gene lock this time .

What concerned Han Sen the most, however, was the possibility of his Jadeskin bringing him negative side effects . The last thing he wanted was to end up with the heart of someone from the Xue family .

If he wanted to kill super creatures, which he did, doing so would be impossible for him if he did not unlock his gene lock . Han Sen had the Dongxuan Sutra, though, which meant he wasn't too afraid to experiment with Jadeskin once more . Returning to the Alliance, Han Sen entered a training room and began to practice .

With Jadeskin running again, cool air emanated from his cells . With ice coursing through his veins, his body felt as if it were being purified .

A greater sense of clarity overwhelmed Han Sen's mind, and he perceived the entire world in a different way . He couldn't put finger on the exact nature of the change, though .

Human emotions were dictated by greed, jealousy, lust, and desire . Under the effects of Jadeskin, things were different . Han Sen's association with these cornerstones of human emotion seemed be dying somewhat; his emotions were getting colder .

It made Han Sen feel keen, unusually keen .

His vision, smell, taste, touch and hearing were increased as well, but it was the substantial amplification of his sixth sense that surprised him .

Han Sen could now hear voices coming from another training room, which was something he had been unable to do before .

Although he wasn't cold, Han Sen's body felt somehow chill . His mind was at greater ease . His emotions seemed to be fading away, and he almost didn't feel human .

The cells in his body were struggling, almost moaning . It was as if they were now in shackles . Han Sen never felt so . . . restrained before . And as these feelings started to increase, his body started to panic, and he wanted to shatter the chains that bound him .

Han Sen felt himself touch the first gene lock, and he acknowledged that the Jadeskin was different than before . No matter how hard he had trained it in the past, it had never come close to making him feel as he did now .

Han Sen believed that if he continued, he would unlock the first gene lock . But the further he went, the more his emotions were stripped away from him . He was afraid of becoming little more than an android, programmed to gain power through any means necessary all without a heart .

He was afraid that if he unlocked his gene lock, he would lose all semblance of his former self . He would be a husk of a human being, someone worse than the Xue family, even .

At least the Xue family possessed some form of emotion . Right now, Han Sen couldn't feel anything . He didn't feel happy, sad, or even angry . If he used the Jadeskin to unlock the gene lock, he ran the possibility of never feeling such emotions again .

His cells were struggling, and his sixth sense continued to grow . He felt his body shrink, as if he was going to be imprisoned for a thousand years . He couldn't wait to break free from whatever haunting force choked the liberty from his being .

"The last time I tried training Jadeskin, the Dongxuan Sutra is what woke me up . But right now, it isn't doing anything . Maybe it's because this time there is no danger? Perhaps I should push further and give this a genuine try . " Under the effects of his seemingly inhuman sense of apathy, Han Sen started to strike against his first gene lock .

All the cells in his being began raging, burning hot with a sense of power he hadn't felt before . It was like pushing against an invisible force with immeasurable strength, and as it occurred, Han Sen's teeth chattered and his body trembled .

But despite the writhing of his cells, his mind was calm and cool like a marble statue . And that's how he sat there, unmoving .

His sixth sense was getting even sharper now, and its continued to grow larger and larger . At the same time, Han Sen's mind conjured up a strange image . Through the wall, he could see the people in the next training room .

Han Sen knew this wasn't because he had been gifted x-ray vision, but through the accelerating growth of his seventh sense . Just by hearing the sounds, his mind's eye could construct an image depicting exactly what was going on in the next chamber .

That was the nature of the seventh sense . It was a person's ability to analyze time and space, in their past, present, and future forms . Han Sen's seventh sense was stronger than most people's, and right now it had been amplified by an order of magnitude . It was sharper than the sharpest blade .

Suddenly, the sound of broken ground sent a shockwave through Han Sen's body . He felt something within him break . And now, he was overwhelmed with a feeling of release . It was as if he had been incarcerated for a thousand years and now, now he was free . He was feeling incandescent, as if he could command the skies, as if he could fly, as if he had been reborn as an angel .
