Chapter 60 - High-Speed Regeneration (1/2)
Under Neptune’s observation, the gene chain changed its shape at a speed visible to the naked eye. Neptune also clearly remembered that this gene chain was the one from which Gu Ding had obtained the regeneration ability from before.
Less than two minutes later, the morphological changes of the gene chain were completed, and Neptune re-scanned Gu Ding’s body data.

The only thing that had changed was Gu DIng’s regenerative capacity, which had evolved from the second grade to the third grade, and the regenerative capacity of the cells, which had increased from three times to four times.
After the regeneration ability was strengthened, Neptune also clearly noticed that the recovery rate of Gu Ding’s cells was accelerating. However, this was still not enough.
“The crystals have been completely absorbed just now. I still have six energy crystals of the fourth-order gene body, so just implant them all into him,” Neptune said before taking out the six remaining energy crystals.
“Won’t this be a problem?” Liliath was slightly worried.
“It doesn’t matter, just implant them one by one. I will constantly monitor his physical condition. If there is a problem, we can stop it immediately,” Neptune explained. “The crystal nucleus that was just implanted allows his regenerative ability to evolve. If we continue to implant it, it should allow his regenerative ability to continue to evolve,” explained Neptune as he pulled up Gu Ding’s body data.
Seeing that Gu Ding’s regenerative ability had evolved from level 2 to level 3, she finally understood the strangeness of Gu Ding’s physique and nodded in response to Neptune’s request.
With the implantation of the second crystal nucleus, Gu Ding’s regenerative ability had evolved as Neptune had expected. Then, as per his request, Liliath implanted the remaining energy crystals into Gu Ding’s body one by one, causing Gu Ding’s regenerative ability to repeatedly evolve. His physical condition had also improved significantly, whilst even his heartbeat gradually returned to normal.
When the last energy crystal was implanted, the weird virus swallowed the crystal once again. Neptune silently watched the change of the small gene chain. After the morphological transformation was complete, it actually extended and spread to the two adjacent gene chains like an infection. Then, the other two small gene chains began to undergo a morphological transformation themselves.
Seeing this change, Neptune was a little bit restless. He was worried that the regeneration ability would be transformed into another ability because of this change. What Gu Ding needed most right now was regeneration.
His database also recorded the situation: the emergence of an ability accompanied by a small change in the gene chain. When this ability evolved to its peak, it would cause the surrounding gene chains to change, resulting in new abilities. Once this happens, the original abilities would be replaced. Sometimes, the new ability would be an advanced version of the original ability, but other times, the new ability would be completely different from the original ability. This was what Neptune most worried about.
The change lasted for nearly ten minutes before it finally stopped. Then, Neptune scanned Gu Ding’s physical condition again.
