14 A Realization In His Hear (1/2)

This claw was violent and sharp, incredibly vicious. The wind formed by the claw movement emitted a sizzling sound, leaving behind claw shadows. This was Feng Lin's peak performance, and any ordinary man would not be able to respond to that.

However, his enemy was not an ordinary man. With another twist, he turned 180 degrees and approached Feng Lin.

Both of his arms were shaking endlessly like throbbing spears. His energy was rapidly converged to one point along with the vibrations.

He drew a circular arc in the sky and trapped Feng Lin's dragon claw in it. This time, Feng Lin had nowhere to escape.

The moment they came into contact, Feng Lin felt a great twirling force change the direction of his attack. The force tore his hand, and his bones and muscles were crushed. It was excruciatingly painful.

The elder's hands were turning continuously like a millstone. They locked Feng Lin's arms so tight that he couldn't escape.

If this continued on, he would lose sooner or later.

Feng Lin felt a sense of crisis. He drew in a breath and his eyes flashed with anger, ”Devil Subduing Vajra Pestle!”

He flexed hard abruptly; his biceps were bulging out and his skin became ash-grey in color.

He stretched out both of his fists, smashing them down like an iron-made, invincible pestle.

The Taichi Fist was stopped, forced to a grunting halt.

Countering the tough with soft was not absolute, it depended on the degree of intensity of the toughness.

The peaceful and tranquil water was able to slowly erode a tough rock. But would it be able to destroy an island?

Toughness and gentleness mutually promote and restrain one another. The comparison of the degree of strength used was the key.

The extremely violent momentum was released unexpectedly. The elder was unable to avoid this sudden change and was thrown far away.

”Good opportunity!” How could Feng Lin miss this chance? His muscles tensed up, and his body soared in the air with his legs making a twisting motion

Dragonsnake Strangle!

Genetic potential +40%.

Another great amount of genetic potential was gained, and the elder's body formed of energy motes broke apart.

Feng Lin was panting; his entire body was aching with pain.

As he ascended higher, the challenges became tougher!

Unfortunately, he could not master this Boneless Taichi.

Boneless Taichi was a soft martial art. To be able to master it, he had to awaken the Boneless Gene or other genes which would make the body soft and flexible.

However, the Stonebirth Gene that Feng Lin awakened was a toughness-attributed gene. It was totally the opposite of this.

Without the associated genetic abilities, one could never learn certain genetic martial arts.

This was also the biggest difference between the genetic martial arts and the ancient martial arts.

He was sweating profusely.

Have I reached my limit?

Feng Lin felt that he was running out of energy, but he felt reluctance in his heart.

His current vitality was already 1.6. That meant he could reach Level 16 theoretically, and it was only Level 11 now. He would be way too much of a loser if he gave up now.

”My foundation is still too weak!” he silently sighed.

His vitality had increased substantially over a short period, but his previous background and talent were too weak. He did not have a stable foundation. The only martial art he learned was the complimentary basic military fist taught in the school. Also, the techniques he had mastered were too lousy. Therefore, he could not perform as well as what expected of someone with 1.6 vitality.

As for these martial art masters, they practiced and mastered the martial arts to perfection despite their lower vitalities. Their combat prowesses were extraordinary. They could easily jump levels to fight someone stronger.

To battle across the level boundaries and win, Feng Lin would feel a sense of satisfaction on behalf of the main characters in the web novels during his past life. Yet, when he was the character himself, he did not feel good at all. It felt totally frustrating.

Feng Lin had an aspiration, and he would never allow himself to give up like this.

In that case, the only option for him was to continue adding his genetic points.

After Level 10, the genetic potential gained had increased tremendously when a level was cleared. Now, his genetic potential was at 212%. This meant that he had two more free genetic points.

However, he could not strengthen the Monkey Genes anymore now.

Monkey Gene x10 + Stonebirth Gene x10 = Stone Monkey Gene.

This was the only path of evolution for Feng Lin.

Since the Monkey Gene was already at 10 points now, it was useless to add any more to it. Besides wasting the genetic potential, it would ruin the equilibrium among the genes. By that time, the genetic equation would be destroyed.

Feng Lin didn't want to risk it. Hence, he added the point to strengthen the Stonebirth Genes.

After the continuous fierce battles, his entire body ached and he even suffered internal injuries. Strengthening the Stonebirth Gene would increase his defense and recovery, so it was a suitable choice.

He had no idea about the background and the type of martial art his next opponent would use. Thus, only by strengthening his defense would he be able to plan his counterattack accordingly.

Feng Lin then added one point to the Stonebirth Gene, causing a change in his stats.
