Chapter 238: Enhancing Aptitude

r stepped forward. These two were the Empress's personal guards, their identities different but both exuding a powerful aura. They were all battle-hardened veterans, so the two soldiers guarding the c..."Hello, Xiaolian Yi, you should have gone back to the Du family long ago. Just looking at your appearance, no one would believe that you're not from our family."

Du Zifeng put his hands in his pockets and said with a smile.

"Well, I told my great-grandfather that I'll change my surname when I turn 18."

"Your decision is very correct."

Du Zifeng met Lianyi's gaze, and he was very certain that they were the same kind of person. He became even more interested in the child left behind by his younger sister.

He pressed his wrist, and a silver alloy box popped out. Inside was the gene activator, military-grade high-level A-class activator.

Tu Zi Feng opened the small box. Inside were two sealed glass vials, one containing purple liquid and the other golden granules, which needed to be used together.

"This is the best gene-stimulating solution I can provide within my capabilities. I hope you don't waste it."

Ripple immediately nodded, her gaze sweeping from Du Zi Feng's wrist to his smart brain. She confirmed that the model was very similar to the one on her own wrist.

"There's no need to look any further, your neural brain was made at your mother's request. It's the same series as mine, only with jade, your mother's favorite stone, added as decoration."

Du Zi Feng smiled and explained.

"Thank you, Uncle, for your effort. I really like this smart brain."

Ripples smiled and thanked.

"When you become stronger, your AI brain can be upgraded further. In the future, even mechs could be put inside."

"I will try my best."

The question-and-answer session eased the tension for both elderly people.

Du Zifeng immediately opened the golden vial and poured the granules into the nutrient solution. After a moment, the nutrient solution solidified into a jelly-like state.

"Lie down first,"

Ripple listened obediently, wearing her own small lingerie and lay down in the sleep pod. Du Zifeng directly opened another purple bottle and let her drink it down.

Ripple smacked her lips, tasting nothing, and at Du Zifeng's gesture, lay down. This time, the golden jelly-like nutrient solution completely engulfed her.

Immediately, the hatch closed, and all three looked at Li Yi who had fallen asleep with some tension.

"Zi Feng, will nothing happen"

"Theoretically, there shouldn't be any problems. I compared the data my father passed down to me with the average data collected by the military. Lian Yi's current physique can withstand the genetic enhancement liquid modification. As for how much his mental power can develop, it's up to him."

Du Zifeng stood arms akimbo beside the cryostasis chamber, answering his father's questions. However, behind his gold-rimmed glasses, his eyes were fixed intently on the data displayed on the cryostasis chamber.

The ripples at this time could feel the effects of the gene activation fluid. The nutrient solution permeated her skin, beginning to forcefully shatter the previous physique barriers and proceed with a new round of restructuring. After combining, it would be broken apart again, then restructured, until the nutrient solution turned blood red.

The three people outside also became nervous, clearly having entered a crucial moment.

Meanwhile, the purple liquid consumed orally has transformed into a massive force, cracking open the vast expanse of ripples within the sea of consciousness. It's like someone is hammering at the closed door of the sea of consciousness with a giant hammer, wave after wave of power stronger than the last, refusing to give up until the door is broken open.

Liàn Yī endured this dull pain, and just as blood flowed from his eyes, ears, nose, and mouth, Du Zǐ Fēng was about to forcibly interrupt the activation. "Whoosh!" With a sound, Liàn Yī felt the wall that had been blocking his mind collapse.

Instantly, the divine consciousness of the Ripple Ancestor in the Nascent Soul stage erupted from his sea of awareness. At the same time, the detection data was surging at a terrifying rate, startling Du Zifeng so much that he opened his mouth wide. Immediately, the pressure of this high-level spiritual power came crashing down, turning his face pale and causing him to involuntarily take three steps back.

Although General Du has already retired to the second line, his mental strength level is still S-class. With such obvious mental pressure, how could he not feel it Afterward, the old madam also felt it.

The three of them looked at each other in surprise, and then they heard Ian's voice.

"The master's mental power has exceeded the SSS level, surpassing Ian's calculation range. Continue"

"If you don't want to burn the core, just stop."

Du Zi Feng immediately said.

The moment her voice fell, Lian Ri's eyes opened. In that instant, she almost covered half of Blue Star, but her physical body couldn't bear it, so she immediately retracted her divine consciousness.

A detection base on Planet Blue captured this powerful and terrifying psychic energy, thinking it was an enemy star system conducting reconnaissance. It immediately reported the matter layer by layer, but it had no idea that the culprit was actually on Planet Blue.

"Lian Yi, how do you feel"

Three people looked at the confident young man in front of them and asked in unison.

"Great! The best ever! I feel like I can see far away."

Ripple smiled and said.

She certainly wouldn't say that her consciousness had already covered half of the blue planet.

"It seems this gene activation was a success, making you so confident. However, based on the data just now, your physical strength doesn't match your mental power. You need to raise your ancient martial arts level, otherwise, using mental power beyond your body's limit will cause irreversible damage."

Du Zifeng slid his fingers across the data on his neural implant, giving a measured suggestion.

"I understand! I feel the same way, my spiritual energy is suppressed right now."

Ripples smiled and said.

At the same time, Wu Lianbo's system also felt ripples of spiritual power in his mind. The system trembled involuntarily, instinctively preparing to escape, but unfortunately, the next second, that spiritual power disappeared, as if it had never appeared.

The system waited for a while, making sure the spiritual energy had vanished before lowering its guard. It then began tracking the source of that consciousness, but because of insufficient energy, it only managed to follow it for a hundred kilometers before having to give up.

Although his current host is trying very hard, he has been unable to get close to the chosen one of this plane's qi. This makes him furious. Even though Wu Lianbo has proposed several times to meet his brother, he has been rejected by the Du family.

The system has been trying to break into the Ripple's AI brain for some time, hoping to learn about the whereabouts and current situation of Qi Yunzi through the AI. Unfortunately, it's been unsuccessful because the AI seems to be disconnected from the network, preventing it from crawling through it. All it can do is wait anxiously.

Fortunately, the host is quite competitive. With him using a carrot as bait in front, his ancient martial arts level has reached Level 3. In another six months, the First Military Academy of the United Empire will begin recruiting students.

With the host's current aptitude, passing the first round of screening is completely no problem. Whether they can enter the special class or the first-class after entering depends on the host's performance.

The system can't get close to the Child of Fortune for now, so it decided to try its luck at the First Military Academy. There are plenty of outstanding talents there, and these prodigies naturally have abundant fortune. It could absorb as much as possible, accumulating little by little, which would also help the system grow stronger.

Ripple didn't know that her intervention had caused the system's plan to swallow a big fat pie to fail. It could only settle for second best and turned its attention to the cadets at the Military Academy.ere is always something to be pitied about a hateful person, her betrayal was not sudden.The old ways are still the best way."So that's why I ask you, is there any point in saving her!"After sighing,...
