Chapter 197: Gene Lock

Half-moon lake.

Ye Cang brought tiger masked Zhang ZhengXiong to the meeting place and saw Zhao XiangYu.

“Really too similar to sister, especially that earnest expression…” Zhang ZhengXiong murmured.

“Let’s go…” Ye Cang said indifferently, his expression not visible behind the mask.

Zhao XiangYu sensed someone approaching. She saw her fox masked master, but this time he had a 2 meter tall tiger masked man beside him. This is? That physique looks familiar.

“This is your martial uncle. He’s here to see how much you’ve tempered your body…” Ye Cang said briefly.

“Martial Uncle…” Zhao XiangYu looked at Zhang ZhengXiong and bowed her head.

Zhang ZhengXiong directly walked up to her and sized her up. Zhao XiangYu felt like a ferocious beast was staring at her, causing her hairs to stand on end. She tried to raised her head to look into his eyes, but couldn’t find the courage to do it. That shocking physique really made others lose courage. Well, rather than simply the physique, it was the terrifying aura that came with it.

Zhang ZhengXiong reached out his hand to feel her upper arm, lower arm, thigh, calf, joints, shoulders, as well as her abdomen, then smiled brightly, “Use your full strength, including your qi, and hit me once…”

Zhao XiangYu felt uncomfortable having Zhang ZhengXiong touch her all over the place, and his words made her even more confused than she already was.

“Just try it.” Ye Cang sat on a large rock and said.

Zhao XiangYu gathered her strength, then struck Zhang ZhengXiong in the chest with her palm. A sharp pain travelled up her arm and her palm felt numb, as if she had just struck a metal door. She didn’t even cause him to sway.

“Although qi is the basis for martial arts, but the body is the origin. Only by having a body that could bear the qi could one be truly strong, otherwise, it would become a weakness. Those supermen you see on tv, they might look as thin as sticks, but their bones and muscles are incomparably tough…” Zhang ZhengXiong explained while brushing off the spot Zhao XiangYu had attacked. It was like nothing had even happened to him.

“But the body of humans have a limit. Most martial artists end up choosing to train their mind to get stronger, then using the power of their mind to improve their genes and physical body. Of course some achieve enlightenment, gaining immediate power ups, and others completely forgo training the body, focusing on inner strength, but it’s too early for you to do any of these. My school puts emphasis on evolving the genes and the body. Now, your martial uncle will teach you how to unseal your first gene lock. As for what a gene lock is, you’ll understand in the future. For now, telling you would be meaningless…” Ye Cang said, then paused for a bit, “However… it’ll hurt a bit…”

The gene lock. This was a law of the human body that Ye Cang had discovered after countless battles, as well as analysis of both himself and other humans. Pure humans were also able to unseal their gene lock because it is something that exists in all living creatures, it would merely be more difficult for them than for Ye Cang and also Zhang ZhengXiong who had been injected with his blood and transformed.

Zhang ZhengXiong smiled under his mask and looked at Zhao XiangYu, “The first layer is the entrance. The trick is to sense your bones, and meridians… This is something that martial uncle will help you with~ Come~ Compare pointers with martial uncle~ Just training~”
