American comics: I can extract talents infinitely

After waking up, Lin Xiao found himself in the Marvel world full of dangers!

The good news? He is a young Chinese billionaire!

The bad news? Without cheat codes, you’ll be caught up in a superhero war and become cannon fodder in no time!

Just when he was in despair, the extraordinary extraction system was bound!

As long as they are individuals with “extraordinary talents”, they can be observed, judged, and even… directly extracted by him!

A free first release, regardless of conditions, and an instant chance to extract talents below S level? !

Go to college and bump into future legends!

Gwen Stacy, a beautiful female student? System prompt: Epic learning ability A! Extract! Become a genius in minutes!

An ordinary Peter Parker? System prompt: Terrifying potential? ? ? ?! Damn, the potential has not been activated yet? !

American comics: I can extract talents infinitely
Chapter 1: Arriving in New York, Extraordinary Talent System
A talent that is hard to touch and has great potential! The cold air hits my face, mixed with a little moisture.
Lin Xiao suddenly opened his eyes.
What comes into view is the Gothic dome of the tall building.
My ears were filled with the cries of seagulls and the roar of distant whistles.
Wasn’t he at home, playing that stand-alone game with an American hero background? Why was he here?
He sat up and looked around.
Unfamiliar stone fences, buildings that give off a sense of history, and… that Statue of Liberty in the distance!
My head buzzed.
USA. New York.
I traveled through time?!
I looked at my face in the pool, and it was the same as before!
Or wearing?!
Just as he was shocked, a ethereal yet solemn voice came from deep in his mind. It was not cold and mechanical, but it had an ancient and sacred aura.
“drop–“
“It has been detected that a physical entity from another world has been bound…”
“World coordinates are calibrated… the multiverse barrier is solid…”
“The awakening factor matches… meets the conditions…”
“The sacred sequence is activated… New identity information is being generated…”
“The sacred sequence has been activated!”
“Talent system loaded – [Extraordinary Extraction]!”
“Identity memory being issued…”
At the same time, a stream of information about the new identity flooded into his mind – Lin Xiao, Chinese, eighteen years old, was set as an orphan who had just inherited a huge inheritance and arrived in New York to prepare to attend Empire State University.
Damn! Is this the protagonist template assigned to me by the system?! “
Although this template seemed to have a high starting point, Lin Xiao did not feel excited at all.
As a superhero fan in his previous life, he knew what words like “New York” and “Empire State University” meant.
This city, this land, is full of guys flying around in tights.
It is also filled with psychopaths waving tentacles, intending to destroy the world, or creating poisonous gas!
If you are not careful, the superhero will fight against the villain, and a cannonball will hit, and no matter how much heritage there is, it will become ruins.
If you have money, you can buy a lot of things here, but you can’t buy a sense of security when facing destructive forces!
He felt a little sad.
Oh my god, at least give him some super powers, some infinite gloves or something! It’s good to be tall, rich and handsome at the beginning, but when I think about a random cosmic overlord passing through the solar system with his army…
He suddenly felt that it didn’t smell good anymore!
Deep in my mind, the system’s voice continued to sound.
(The following system capability description section can remain unchanged, as it appears after the system is loaded)
Information flooded into my mind again, but this time it was about the system’s capabilities.
[Supernatural Extraction System]: The host has the power to directly observe, judge, and even “extract” the “supernatural talents” possessed by individuals around him.
[Talent Level]: divided into ordinary (F), excellent (E), outstanding (D), excellent (C), rare (B), epic (A), legendary (S), mythical (SS), and higher levels are unknown.
[Extraction Conditions]: You need to observe the target’s talent information at close range (within the perception range, determined by the talent level), and depending on the talent level and rarity, you may need to meet additional contact conditions.
[Instructions]: Focus your mind on the target individual, the system will automatically scan and display its talent list (if any), and talents that meet the extraction conditions will be highlighted. Once the host’s mind is determined, extraction can be performed. The extraction process takes time, and the higher the difficulty, the longer it takes.
[Tips]: For the first binding, the system will give you one free gift, regardless of conditions (non-repeatable targets), limited to instant extraction opportunities for talents of S level and below! Please choose your first talent target carefully!
Free! Instant withdrawal! Not limited to S-level and below? !
Lin Xiao’s heart instantly soared to the limit!
WTF! WTF! WTF! This cheat code! This is a free start!
Marvel World! Extraordinary talents everywhere! SHIELD, Avengers, mutants, and mutant creatures from Osborn Industries!
This is simply like giving yourself a personal ‘self-service talent extraction machine from the talent pool’!
As long as you are brave enough, you can extract the talent of anyone you want? !
Captain Steve’s superhuman soldier physique? Wolverine’s healing abilities? Tony’s genius inventor brain? Thor’s affinity for lightning?
Or even… the special abilities of gods or mutants from higher dimensions? !
Wait, don’t get excited, be careful! The system says to get close! And different levels require different contact conditions!
Although this gift ignores the conditions, it only happens once!
S level and below!
He was currently at the edge of a park, probably in New York, and there was nothing strange around.
The first talent below S-level…whose should I extract? !
There are quite a few people in the Marvel Universe who can be called extraordinary people below S-level.
What if we could find an early Peter Parker? Spider-sense? Or web-shooting?
Gwen Stacy? If she were some universe’s Spider-Man… her potential!
Some strange person on the street? Some unawakened mutant? Or just a mortal who has honed his skills to an inhuman level? Like Hawkeye and Black Widow?
Although he could win billions of assets easily at the beginning, Lin Xiao never fantasized about relying on the system to win.
Ability! Strength! Is the only guarantee for survival in this damn world!
Where to find someone first?
School! Yes! Empire State University!
According to the (new) memories, that’s where both Gwen Stacy and Peter Parker would appear! Even Dr. Connors could be at the university.
This group of future superheroes and villains may be in a classroom or a laboratory right now!
Go to college! Find your purpose! Lock in the first extractable extraordinary talent!
Especially the gift I gave you that time, regardless of the conditions! It must be used where it counts! It would be best if it was a talent that was hard to reach and had great potential!
Three things to do when reading: read, collect, and reward!

ActivityRegister as a Filo member and get 200 points![Register Now]Chapter 2: Imperial University! Gwen Stacy appears! (Old version)
Lin Xiao calmed his heartbeat.
As a man who inherited billions of fortunes and has a golden finger that can defy the heavens, he cannot lose his composure!
Now I have money, status, and unlimited potential.
The most important thing is to make good use of information gaps and system capabilities to quickly accumulate strength!
Find your new home in this city through memory.
Sure enough, it was on the top floor of a high-end apartment building in Manhattan, New York, where every inch of land is valuable.
From the floor-to-ceiling windows, you can see the bustling scenery of New York.
Wash up, eat. The newspaper on the table and the news on TV all confirm that this is a familiar Marvel world.
Military-industrial giant Stark Industries; Osborn Industries, which focuses on life sciences; and… some vague reports about the city’s underworld.
Tony Stark hadn’t been blown up at this time, and was probably still enjoying his playboy life.
It will take some time for the Hulk, Captain America, and others to be truly exposed.
It seems to be a relatively early period, but one that is not short of hidden bosses and potential crises.
Great, this is the perfect time to hibernate!
First target – Empire State University.
After confirming the start date of school, Lin Xiao changed into a set of appropriate casual clothes, picked up the symbolic transfer student documents, and took a taxi to school.
Taxis in New York are a bit noisy, but Lin Xiao feels calm.
When passing a street corner on the road, I saw some people walking in a hurry, and tried to concentrate my mind to “observe” them.
“Ordinary talent detected: [Ordinary athletic talent]”
“Ordinary talent detected: [Ordinary driving skills]”
“Ordinary talent detected: [Excellent Musical Talent]”
…
Sure enough! Ordinary people also have talents! But they are all entry-level talents like ordinary or excellent.
Lin Xiao didn’t care about these talents, so he naturally wouldn’t waste the precious opportunity to extract them for free below S level.
The goal is Empire State University! The place where extraordinary talents are born!
Soon, the taxi arrived at the university gate.
Today is the day for new students to report. There is a welcome banner at the school gate and people from the student union are busy running around.
Lin Xiao mingled with the freshmen team, feeling the youthful and vigorous campus atmosphere.
He was not in a hurry to find someone to handle the formalities.
Instead, he stood on the slightly quieter side, pretending to look at the notifications, but actually turned on the system and glanced at every young face that appeared around him.
The system runs silently, and prompts keep popping up in my mind.
Most of them were very ordinary information like [Ordinary academic achievement] [Excellent social talent].
“It’s a pity that we can’t screen them directly, we can only observe them one by one.” Lin Xiao said to himself, but he didn’t feel disappointed.
Extraordinary talents are rare. If they could be found everywhere, the Marvel world would be too peaceful.
He slowed down his breathing and looked more carefully at every object that approached him or aroused his intuition.
Then he noticed her.
A young girl in a white shirt and jeans, with a golden ponytail, delicate features and an intellectual beauty, was smiling and patiently answering a freshman’s question.
—Gwen Stacy.
Her name immediately overlapped with the familiar figure in her memory, even in the memory of the game in her previous life.
That’s her! Spider-Gwen from the future… or another universe!
Does she have that kind of heaven-defying talent?!
Lin Xiao concentrated all his attention and locked onto Gwen.
“Ding! Extraordinary talent potential detected!”
“[Observable Target: Gwen Stacy]”
The talent list instantly displays:
“【Excellent Leadership】(E)”
“【Outstanding Chemistry Knowledge】 (D)”
“[Outstanding Analytical Reasoning] (D)”
“[Epic Learning Ability] (A)”
“[??? (Level determination in progress): Some kind of hidden, incompletely revealed ‘mutation’ characteristics, with extremely high potential. Currently in an inactive state or in its embryonic form. Extraction difficulty: high!]”
Lin Xiao was not surprised when he saw the first few talents. Outstanding or even A-level learning ability was very consistent with the setting of the academic master Gwen.
But the last one… question mark question mark?! Level determination in progress?! Extremely high potential! Mutation characteristics!
If this isn’t ‘spider genes’ or ‘spider abilities’, then what is it?!
Holy shit! Peter Parker hasn’t appeared yet, or hasn’t mutated yet! Gwen has already shown the potential for “mutation”? !
The timeline… is really different from the familiar movies! Is this going to be a fusion of “The Amazing Spider-Man” and “Spider-Gwen”?
This is such a surprise!
Feilu novel, Fei will make you look good!
Chapter 3: Limited-time Extraction Opportunity! Choose Epic Learning Ability? (Old Version)
After the surprise, Lin Xiao quickly regained his sanity.
[Epic Learning Ability (A)] is prominently listed in Gwen’s talent list.
The question mark feature next to it seems that the level will be higher and the potential will be greater, but… the level is being determined, and the difficulty of extraction is marked as high. It is very likely that it is not within the range of the ‘instant extraction’ given by the system!
And now we don’t even know what its specific abilities are or what its level is!
A high-potential talent that is currently useless but you are not sure if it can be extracted?
And a genuine A-level [Epic Learning Ability], a top ‘ordinary’ talent that can instantly improve intelligence, learn things more efficiently, and is comparable to the superpowers of another dimension?
Which one is more valuable?
There is no doubt that this [epic learning ability] is of explosive value to him who has just arrived in this world!
Don’t know the language? Get your A-level learning skills done in a few minutes!
Not familiar with technology? A-level learning ability to digest Newtonian mechanics in a few days!
Need to understand Marvel’s knowledge system, technological principles, and magic array diagrams? A-level learning ability can greatly shorten this process!
This is simply the magical skill that a growth-type protagonist dreams of in the early stages!
Although it is not a cool superpower, its practicality may even exceed some D-level and C-level “mutation” talents.
What’s more, this is a genuine A-level! It is within the range below his S-level!
Lin Xiao had almost no hesitation!
“System! Use the free extraction opportunity!”
“Target: Gwen Stacy!”
“Extract talent: [Epic Learning Ability (A)]!”
“Ding! The first binding free withdrawal opportunity starts!”
“Detecting target [Gwen Stacy], locking in talent [Epic Learning Ability (A)].”
“Ignoring the extraction conditions, forced immediate extraction!”
The cold voice sounded again.
A warm and vast flow of information instantly connected to Lin Xiao’s body from a distance.
It seemed as if all the knowledge in the world became closer at this moment.
The brain, which was originally at the level of an ordinary person, suddenly seemed to have activated some kind of advanced computing chip!
The noisy environment around, the voices of people coming and going, the weak electric current fluctuations in the air…all the perceived information is captured and analyzed by the brain with an unprecedented clarity!
The brain speed skyrocketed!
In his previous life, he had worked so hard to study the obscure papers that he could not finish even after forgetting to eat and sleep. Now, it seemed that he could grasp the core ideas and logical structure of the papers with just one glance.
Memory improves exponentially! Photographic memory is an understatement. It’s more like an advanced filing system!
It only lasted a few seconds.
The extraction and fusion process appears to be complete.
“Ding! [Epic Learning Ability (A)] was extracted and integrated successfully!”
“Host talent list updated.”
“The free withdrawal opportunity has been consumed.”
Lin Xiao exhaled, his eyes flashing with a strange light.
He concentrated his mind again and looked at his talent list.
“【Host: Lin Xiao】”
“Talent list:”
“[Epic Learning Ability] (A): Your brain is like a supercomputer, able to grasp, understand, and integrate knowledge at an astonishing speed.”
The talent list is empty, with only this one talent listed at the moment.
But this is already a qualitative change!
Lin Xiao suppressed the ecstasy in his heart.
He glanced into the distance and saw Gwen still busy helping the freshmen.
She may not have any idea what just happened.
Is this the extraordinary extraction? Don’t harm the target, just copy the talent!
Awesome!
Moreover, the system did not seem to extract or weaken Gwen’s [mutated characteristic] from her own talent.
Very good! His golden finger is to become stronger, not to weaken others!
Now, there is A-level learning ability.
The most urgent task is to completely master this body, adapt to the new intelligence, and… learn all the common sense and extraordinary knowledge of this world as soon as possible!
The original body’s legacy comes into play at this time.
Sufficient funds allow him to purchase the best learning materials and equipment, and even hire top private teachers in various fields!
This process will be extremely efficient!
After digesting these, you can start to actively contact the next batch of targets and hunt for more and stronger extraordinary talents!
For example, the one who looks a little shy but has explosive potential…Peter Parker?
Turn on lazy reading mode
Chapter 4: Peter Parker on campus (old version)
With the newly acquired [Epic Learning Ability (A)], Lin Xiao took less than ten minutes to completely digest all of the original owner’s memories and organized them in an orderly manner.
Includes the transfer process, department introduction, and various necessary information of Empire State University.
He stepped forward and walked towards the busy student union area.
As a billionaire and a genius with an A-grade IQ, he no longer has to play the role of a confused freshman.
Of course, on the surface, he is still a “newly arrived” transfer student.
“Hi, hello! I’m here to process the transfer. Here are my documents.”
Lin Xiao stepped forward, his voice calm and polite.
The table he happened to walk towards was not the one where Gwen was.
“Oh ok, please wait!” The student union member took his documents and started processing them.
Taking advantage of the gap in handling formalities, Lin Xiao looked around “carelessly” and turned on the observation function of the system again.
Target range – the entire school gate area.
The system continuously feeds back information about the talents of people around.
A large number of F, E, and D level common talents.
Some D and C level outstanding talents, such as a professor’s [Outstanding Teaching Experience].
Then… he saw something unusual.
A thin, bespectacled young man was walking out of the campus, his eyes bright and his face a little uneasy.
“[Observable Target: Peter Parker]”
——Peter Parker! Here he comes!
Spider-Man of the future!
Lin Xiao was excited inside, but on the surface he remained calm and focused his attention completely on Peter.
The system talent list is loaded immediately.
Talent list:
“【Excellent Photography Skills】(E)”
“【Outstanding Theoretical Physics】（D）”
“【Rare Grade Resilience and Perseverance】(B)”
“【Rare Biological Genetic Affinity】(B): Excellent understanding and adaptability to biological variation and genetic structure.”
“【??? (Level determination in progress): A very secret and unactivated characteristic, derived from contact with external organisms, with terrifying potential. Currently in a deep latent state, with a very low correlation with the host. Extraction difficulty: extremely difficult! Requirements: The target characteristic is fully activated, and the correlation with the host is greatly increased before it is unlocked!】”
Seeing this list of talents, Lin Xiao’s heartbeat quickened, but he was not as decisive and ecstatic as when he faced Gwen’s [Epic Learning Ability] just now.
Although Peter’s current talent has the B-level [Biological Genetic Affinity] which is obviously linked to his future Spider-Man abilities, the most crucial spider ability itself is that [extremely secret and not yet activated characteristic].
The level was even directly judged as ‘horrifying potential’? !
But——Extraction difficulty is extremely difficult! Requirements: The characteristics are fully activated!
This means that he is now unable to extract Peter’s most important ‘Spider-Man Talent’!
Even his [Biological Genetic Affinity (B)], although related to future abilities, is B-level… this level no longer seems so attractive after he has witnessed Matt’s A-level fighting and Gwen’s A-level learning.
Not to mention, this [Biological Genetic Affinity] is not like learning ability or fighting skills that can instantly become stronger, but more of a physical prerequisite for Peter to become Spider-Man. It is hard to say whether it will be useful to him. Even if it is extracted, it may require a specific mutation source to induce it.
This means that Peter Parker at this stage is not a suitable target for Lin Xiao to use this free extraction opportunity that ignores the conditions.
He hasn’t ‘grown’ yet to the point where his most crucial talent can be extracted!
The ‘extraction’ function of this golden finger seems to be more inclined to extract the extraordinary talents that the target ‘currently possesses’ or ‘is about to erupt’, rather than extracting pure ‘bloodline potential’?
Or is it that the requirements for his own potential are too high? Only when he is close enough to the source of that characteristic can it be extracted?
For example… after Peter is bitten by the gene spider from Osborn Industries! At that moment, his talent will completely explode! At that time, the system’s extraction judgment and difficulty should be refreshed!
Only at that stage did Peter truly become a top source of talent suitable for ‘supernatural extraction’!
Of course, this is just Lin Xiao’s speculation based on his memory and system information.
Peter walked towards Lin Xiao, as if he noticed Gwen was there.
Sure enough, he and Gwen knew each other.
Not far away, Peter walked up to Gwen, and Gwen greeted Peter with a natural smile.
Lin Xiao completed the formalities.
The transfer student documents have been approved, and he is now a student at Empire State University, a bona fide… tall, rich, handsome student with A-level academic ability!
He saw Gwen and he saw Peter.
Seeing their natural communication, with the pure friendship of their school days.
And he himself, the outsider time traveler, held the system’s golden finger and looked at these two future superheroes with amazing potential.
But what I’m thinking in my heart is, when can I acquire the talents in you?
This feeling… is so complicated, yet full of the satisfaction of being in control of the overall situation!
Chapter 5 Osborne Industrial Exhibition, the intersection of fate (ask for evaluation votes!) (old version)
Although I was unable to extract the desired potential talent from Peter.
But when Lin Xiao learned that he, like Gwen, possessed this “supernatural potential” that had not yet erupted, he felt very excited.
Which means, that science fair at Osborn Industries!
The key event that caused Peter’s mutation! It must be the node he must go to!
Now that he has A-level learning ability, Lin Xiao decided to postpone the next step of his talent extraction plan.
First of all, thoroughly digest the power of the brain, learn the knowledge here, and establish your own intelligence channels.
There was a large sum of US dollars in the original owner’s inheritance account, which was a great convenience.
After returning from college, Lin Xiao immediately used his past life memories and his original owner’s understanding of the lives of wealthy people in New York to find several efficient and reliable private institutions.
——An information company that is good at collecting various secret intelligence (as long as the money is in place, they can give you any public or gray area information through legal channels).
——A top scientific research equipment procurement company.
——As well as several retired or resigned scientists who have participated in scientific research projects of large companies and can now be hired for private guidance at a high price (of course, they are not those top-notch perverted bigwigs, but they can provide guidance in basic disciplines).
With his A-level learning ability, he is like a sponge that absorbs knowledge like crazy.
Every day I immerse myself in various professional books, materials, online courses, and communication with private teachers.
From the historical background of this world, to scientific theories in different fields (especially physics, chemistry, and biology), to the analysis of public information on known superheroes and special organizations.
His knowledge and understanding of the world increased exponentially!
In just a few days.
It was as if he had lived in this world for several years.
I have a clearer understanding of this world’s system, power division, major forces, etc.
Gwen and Peter would occasionally meet at school during this period.
Peter is still the good student who is a little socially anxious and focused on scientific experiments. He spends most of his time in the biological science laboratory with Dr. Connors.
Gwen is busy with student union affairs and her studies. She is a science enthusiast and her speed of understanding of knowledge is different from ordinary people (Lin Xiao agrees with this).
Of course, Lin Xiao did not ignore her. Every time they met at school, he would naturally chat with her for a few words, and occasionally ask her indirectly about the situation in the biology laboratory building or Dr. Connors, Peter and others.
Gwen was a very pure girl and didn’t think too much. She just thought that this new student, Lin Xiao, was very handsome and looked very interesting. He seemed to understand science very quickly and grasped a lot of knowledge at a glance, which made her feel like she had found a kindred spirit.
That’s right, Lin Xiao’s learning ability also affects the way he communicates with others. He can understand the subtext of the other person’s words more quickly and get to the heart of the topic that the other person is interested in more efficiently.
Under this “high EQ + high IQ” mode, his interpersonal interactions also began to become easy and pleasant.
He would even occasionally use some obscure methods to point out some issues that Peter might have overlooked in his biological genetic research. These were based on Lin Xiao’s extraction of [Epic Learning Ability] + the information gap in his previous life, combined with his crazy learning in this life.
Peter was amazed at every hint and felt that Lin Xiao, the transfer student, was a real hidden talent!
“Thank you, Lin Xiao! The hypothesis you mentioned is so inspiring!” Peter expressed his gratitude to Lin Xiao several times.
He felt that Lin Xiao had amazing intuition and insight in biology!
Lin Xiao smiled slightly. Being hidden is also part of the protagonist’s charm. Moreover, Peter’s favorability has increased, which will be beneficial to his future acquisition of the “Spider Talent”.
Peter and Gwen’s relationship also seemed to be developing slowly. Occasionally, they could be seen discussing issues together or walking around campus together.
Lin Xiao was happy to see this happen, the threads of fate were slowly coming together.
A week later.
Peter and Gwen found Lin Xiao almost at the same time.
“Lin Xiao!”
Peter and Gwen both had a bit of excitement on their faces when they ran over.
“What’s wrong?” Lin Xiao was just “relaxing” on a bench on a path on campus (actually he was reviewing the latest information in his mind).
“Osborne Industries! Osborne Industries is going to hold a large-scale ‘Future Technology and Biological Applications’ exhibition!” Peter said with a little excitement.
“State universities were invited to participate in the exhibition, and some students were allowed to visit! Especially the outstanding students in the science department!” Gwen added, her eyes sparkling with the exploration of knowledge.
Osborne Industries?! Exhibition?!
The alarm bell in Lin Xiao’s mind instantly rang!
Is it finally coming?!
An important event in Osborn Industries that determined the fate of Spider-Man and the Green Goblin, and was even related to the mutation of Dr. Lizard!
Chapter 6 Opportunity Comes! Target: Mutated Spider?! (Old Version)
An exhibition by Osborne Industries!
what does that mean?
This means Peter has the opportunity to get close to the ‘genetically modified spider’ that changed his life!
This means that Dr. Connors’ research has probably achieved some “phased results” that are worth displaying within a large company!
It also means… that he, Lin Xiao, will also have the opportunity to step into that place where all the hidden dragons and crouching tigers are, witness it with his own eyes, and… extract it!
He had previously determined that Peter’s talent [Unknown Special Connection] needed to be extracted after the ‘Gene Jump/Mutation’ was completed.
And this exhibition is the opportunity to trigger mutation!
Now, Peter personally brought the news and invited him to the exhibition? !
This is a great opportunity right at your doorstep!
Moreover, Peter is here, so how about Dr. Connors? What about Norman Osborn and Harry Osborn of the Osborn family? These are all talents with great potential (Norman is even abnormal)!
Although the A-level learning ability gave him super assists, it was not a direct combat or physical enhancement after all! In this world, pure intelligence is not enough to protect oneself!
He needs a more direct and extraordinary talent that can deal with emergencies!
Strength, speed, reaction, perception, and even self-healing ability! These are the highest priority talents!
And Osborn Industries… that place filled with genetic experiments and mutated creatures, is simply the treasure trove of talents he has always dreamed of!
“Sounds interesting! When does it start?” Lin Xiao’s face showed just the right amount of curiosity and interest.
“In just two days! Our Department of Biological Sciences has a lot of exhibits this time, and there will be several internal displays of groundbreaking research projects! Dr. Connors’ project is among them!” Peter said excitedly.
Gwen also said: “Students can visit specific areas with teachers and exhibition staff. There are many latest technological equipment and… and some ‘improved’ organisms bred by Osborne Industries itself, which is very interesting!”
Dr. Connors’s project! Modified organisms! Osborne Industries!
All the key words are desperately pointing to one thing – the source of extraordinary talent is about to erupt!
Lin Xiao’s heart was shocked. Two days later! The time is just right!
Now with the blessing of A-level learning ability, he can understand many concepts at a glance, and he is also familiar with the “tricks” of companies like Osborne Industries.
As for the so-called ‘improved organisms’, who knows how many of them contain unstable extraordinary genes!
The genetically modified spider that Peter mutated into must be one of their exhibits!
That is the potential target that Lin Xiao values ​​the most and ranks first in the sequence!
‘Spider-Man’ talents! Strength, speed, balance, reaction, perception, web spray… this is a complete set of practical abilities!
Once Peter is bitten and mutated, the terrifying potential of the [Unknown Characteristics] will be activated! By then, the difficulty of extracting it may meet the requirements!
This wave must keep up!
“It’s such an important exhibition, I also want to see it!” Lin Xiao immediately expressed his desire.
Peter and Gwen both highly recognized the learning ability that Lin Xiao had demonstrated during this period, especially the fact that Lin Xiao could provide constructive suggestions for Peter’s biological research, which made Peter feel that he had found a true “IQ-level” communicator.
Gwen has always admired top students and thinks Lin Xiao is a very reliable transfer student.
“Great! You can come with us! We still have a few spots left!” Gwen said cheerfully.
“Just give me your documents. I will help the college file them and add your name on them!” Peter added.
Is this the dual charm of good popularity and high IQ? So cool! Taking the initiative to make friends with these two is indeed the best way!
Lin Xiao handed over his transfer student certificate and ID, and started to think about it in his mind.
Go to Osborne Industries! You must follow closely all the way! Peter and Gwen, these two potential stocks, are naturally the key!
Especially the part where Peter was bitten, it was simply the best opportunity for the system to unlock a new extraordinary talent sequence!
Besides that, what about Dr. Connors? When will his lizard regeneration abilities kick in? Norman Osborn’s Green Goblin talents?
Osborn Industries…is simply a giant treasure house that is glittering with gold, yet filled with darkness!
This exhibition is by no means simple!
For him, this is an opportunity! But also a potential danger!
Chapter 7 Preparation for Infiltration! Learning about Supernatural Powers! (Additional updates, please vote) (Old version)
After finalizing plans to go to the Osborne Industrial Exhibition.
Lin Xiao spent the remaining two days on ’emergency reinforcement’ and ‘intelligence completion’.
On the one hand, he continued to use [Epic Learning Ability (A)] to frantically supplement his knowledge on “Biological Genetic Engineering”, “Living Mutation Theory”, “Energy Form and Transformation”, etc.
In particular, we conducted intensive study on the technical focus of Osborn Industries, as well as some of the known technical backgrounds of Dr. Connors and even the Green Goblin.
With his current A-level IQ, these theories that once seemed like mysterious books have now become very smooth and easy to understand. He can quickly grasp the core concepts, draw inferences from one example, and even simulate possible experimental directions and technical loopholes in his mind!
For example, Dr. Connors’ cross-species gene fusion experiment, the difficulties, potential rejection reactions, and the possibility of distorted consciousness can all be quickly deduced and the risks estimated in his mind.
Another example is the ‘genetically modified spiders’ exhibited by Osborne Industries. With their genetic composition and the biological knowledge he has learned, he can even roughly guess which enhanced genes these spiders have (for example, super toughness, nerve reflexes, toxicity control, etc.) when the system cannot directly provide talent information.
This ability to reversely infer extraordinary talent characteristics through “learning” makes him even more powerful!
On the other hand, there is intelligence gathering.
He used the strong financial resources left by the original owner and demanded a high reward from the information company he hired – on the day of the Osborne Industrial Exhibition, he needed the exhibition building, especially the genetic experiments and mutant creatures display areas… all non-public information!
Include floor plans, important lab locations, security system status, and possible non-display areas (for example, where are those unstable samples stored?).
As long as it does not involve extremely sensitive information that endangers social security or military secrets, money can do things with amazing efficiency in this capitalist country.
After all, a large company’s internal layout and non-core technology exhibition information are not impossible to obtain for experienced information companies as long as they dig deep enough.
This information is like a map that opens up an ‘infiltration’ perspective for Lin Xiao.
Although the Osborne Industrial Exhibition was open to university teachers and students, that was only the surface! The purpose of his visit was not to be a mere spectator!
Peter will attract the key gene spider! But he is not sure whether the extraction can be completed at the moment Peter is bitten! What if the environment is chaotic at that time, or Peter’s ability has just sprouted and is not stable, and the system cannot lock it perfectly?
The safest way is to get close to the source of the mutation itself!
If possible, he hoped to get close to and even “observe” a living sample of the genetically modified spider!
It would even be better if Dr. Connors was present at the time and could observe his “mutated talent” again!
This process requires breaking away from the guided tour group and briefly entering a non-open area.
This will test his acumen, timing, and most importantly… basic physical fitness and a little bit of fighting and self-defense ability!
Although he had not yet extracted new physical talents, the two days of “overtime study” did not make him neglect the basics. He carried out systematic physical training in the gym at his own luxury apartment. With his A-level IQ and understanding of the body structure, he could stimulate muscles and explosive power most efficiently during training.
Now, his strength and endurance have been significantly improved compared to when he first came here, and he can at least deal with ordinary people without any problem.
Moreover, with these knowledge of physics, chemistry, and biology, his understanding of characters such as Connors, Peter, and even the future Green Goblin has been elevated to a higher dimension!
Not only a user of super powers, but also a gift provider!
Time flies during the intense preparations.
The night before the exhibition.
The information company sent in its final report.
It details the structure of each floor of the Osborne Industrial Exhibition Building, the security patrol routes (based on their public information speculation and internal channel intelligence), and the mutant biological display area… Information about some isolated laboratories in the underground negative layer…
There was also a brief list of people, including the important people who would be attending: the Osborn father and son, some scientists, representatives of partner institutions, and… a visiting delegation of teachers and students from the State University. The list included Peter Parker, Gwen Stacy, and himself – Lin Xiao.
Even Dr. Connors’ name is on the list of scientists!
This means that Connors will most likely be present at the event to give presentations or explanations as a representative of the project!
All the key figures will gather together in one day!
Lin Xiao had a premonition in his heart.
Osborne Industries will explode everything in two days!
Chapter 8: Enter the Dragon’s Den! Osborne Exhibition Grounds! (Old Version)
Osborne Industries, Exhibition Grounds.
The huge venue was decorated with a futuristic feel, with various luminous booths and holographic projections displaying Osborne Industries’ latest achievements in biology, medicine, technology and other fields.
The delegation of teachers and students from the Imperial State University, dressed in uniform school uniforms, began their tour under the guidance of a guide.
Lin Xiao walked in the team, his eyes sweeping over the various people in the venue.
Scientific researchers in suits, wealthy entrepreneurs, glamorous media reporters…
And of course, there are those kept in special display cases – the ‘genetically modified organisms’.
Some of these creatures have strange shapes, while others appear to be just different in color or size, but without exception, they have all been genetically engineered by Osborn Industries.
“Is this the spider from the breeding area?” Peter whispered to Gwen who was walking beside him.
They stopped in front of a special transparent display case.
Inside the display case were a dozen small compartments, each housing a… unusually brightly colored spider.
It is slightly larger than ordinary spiders, and has an unnatural metallic sheen on its body, which makes it look ‘different’.
Lin Xiao’s eyes narrowed!
Here they come! These are the guys!
He concentrated his mind and observed these spiders!
“Ding! Non-human matter/energy unit talent detected.”
“[Observable target: Genetically modified spider group (group talent resonance)]”
“【Super Strong Material Spinning】(C-Rank)”
“【Extreme Nerve Reaction】(Rank C)”
“【Vertical Climbing】(D-Rank)”
“【Danger Sense】(D-level)”
“【Micro-self-healing】(E-level)”
“Note: High concentration instability detected in the target colony’s genes, all individual talents are based on the same unstable source! Individual talent ratings may be biased! The overall resonance characteristics (???) have extremely high potential, and the core of the judgment has not yet been mastered! Current extraction difficulty: high!”
“Requirements: Contact with the target individual, or a highly compatible mutation in the host body!”
Although the concept talent of “Spider-Man” could not be directly determined, the several talents in this list, C-level and D-level, seem to be the various components that constitute the abilities of Spider-Man in the future!
Especially the [Extreme Nerve Reaction], [Vertical Climbing], [Danger Sense]… Isn’t this just a smaller version of Spider-Man’s ability description? !
The system also noted that “the overall resonance characteristics have great potential, but the core of the judgment has not yet been mastered!”
This so-called ‘overall resonance characteristic’ is most likely the ‘terrifying potential’ that belongs to Spider-Man as a whole after being superimposed and even stimulated by each other!
However, the ‘group’ talent from this source is difficult to extract!
Requirements: contact with the target individual, or… a highly compatible mutation in the body? !
This is a bit similar to Peter’s situation! They both require specific triggers or associations to trigger extraction!
The system also prompts that ‘extraction is difficult’. Even if the conditions are met, it may not be able to be extracted as quickly and instantly as Gwen’s A-level learning ability.
This further confirmed Lin Xiao’s previous speculation.
To extract the true S-level or higher ‘Spider-Man’ core talent.
The most reliable time is to wait until Peter or Gwen… are actually bitten by this spider!
Or… go get in touch with the core genetic mutation area of ​​Osborn Industries that gave birth to these spiders!
There, perhaps there are sources of genetic variation that are higher in concentration, more stable, or at a more critical stage? !
The information provided by the information company came to mind again. The underground floor of the exhibition building, and several buildings next door that were not involved in the exhibition and were marked as “research and sample isolation area”!
Lin Xiao remained calm. He now possessed A-level learning ability, which allowed him to quickly memorize routes during a visit and detect security loopholes and blind spots in the exhibition area.
Whenever there’s a chance…he’ll just slip past!
Peter and Gwen were looking at the genetic spiders curiously and listening to the explanation of the Osborn staff.
They didn’t know that the wheel of fortune had already started to turn faster here!
Chapter 9 Peter Parker? And the Lizard Gene! (Old Version)
The exhibition at Osborne Industries continues.
Lin Xiao followed the group on the tour and showed appropriate interest in the various high-tech displays.
In his mind, he is concentrating on analyzing everything around him through his enhanced perception and A-level learning abilities.
The flow of people inside the venue, the shift patterns of security personnel, the location of each exit and the surveillance angle… were all quickly captured by him and constructed on a map in his mind.
The simplified floor plan and possible isolation area locations provided by the information company perfectly confirmed the information he had obtained from his current field investigation.
Opportunity! It’s coming soon!
Peter and Gwen stayed with him most of the time.
For this exhibition, they are more concerned about science and technology itself, such as the efficiency of a certain biological reactor, the precision of a certain bionic prosthesis, etc.
Of course, as the person directly involved in Spider-Man’s mutation, Peter seemed to stay in front of the genetically modified spider booth for a long time, his eyes full of… a kind of curiosity of a researcher about the ‘topic’?
Lin Xiao intentionally or unintentionally pulled Peter to the booth and stayed there for a while.
Peter observed the spider intently and took photos with his camera. Gwen also watched with interest.
When Peter was taking the photo, there was an unusually brightly colored spider in a compartment inside the display case, and it seemed a little agitated.
Lin Xiao saw it all. Is this… coming? !
In his perception, the spider exuded a stronger sense of ‘genetic instability’ than other spiders of its kind.
Maybe that’s it?!
Lin Xiao quietly moved closer, ready to observe closely.
Just as he closed the distance to within one meter of the display case.
The abnormal spider suddenly moved along the edge of the isolation room at an astonishing speed.
——No, it doesn’t go along, it goes through!
Passing through the glass barrier that separates it! Moving in a twisted manner like a ghost!
Holy shit! There’s a crack in the glass?! Or, a new ability?
The spider instantly crawled out from an imperceptible gap in the top of the display case and disappeared into the structure behind the display case!
Because it was so small and moved so fast, even Peter and Gwen, who were focusing on observing the spider itself, didn’t notice this detail!
Only Lin Xiao, who possessed the [Supernormal Extraction System] to assist in observation and perception, saw this horrifying scene!
Oh shit, one leaked out?!
The key source of mutation! Escaped!
And all around them!
Where did it go?!
Lin Xiao’s whole body tensed up! All his senses were activated!
He sensed that special genetic fluctuation was moving among the crowd in the exhibition hall at an extremely fast speed!
Direction! Towards Peter and Gwen?!
No! It seemed to react more strongly to Lin Xiao’s location? Or was it simply because he was an outsider, a person with special abilities?
But soon, the wave changed direction, and the target was no longer him! Instead, it just passed by him!
Flying quickly towards…the area where Peter is? !
Right now!
The bite of fate! It’s coming!
However!
At this critical moment!
The little genetic spider seemed to sense something stronger and more attractive, a ‘homogeneous breath’ or ‘mutated resonance’!
It suddenly refracted strangely in mid-air and changed direction again!
It was no longer Peter! Instead, it rushed straight to the person standing not far from Peter…
Gwen Stacy!
What the hell?! The plot has changed?! Is Gwen going to get bit?!
And it seemed that the goal was not just to ‘bite’ her. The spider was emitting very anxious waves, as if it had sensed some hidden characteristics of Gwen and wanted to ‘fuse’ or ‘parasitize’ her? !
There was no time to think! The spider was too fast! It was already near Gwen’s calf!
Lin Xiao’s body instantly activated! Relying on his extraordinary reaction and the basic body control he had learned!
Almost counterintuitively, he pounced on Gwen!
At the same time, a deafening prompt came from the system!
“Ding! Core mutation source detected! [Genetically modified spider] individual is trying to invade/contact [Gwen Stacy]!”
“It has been detected that the potential [mutation characteristics] in the target [Gwen Stacy] are strongly induced by an external mutation source!”
“【Mutation Characteristics】is being activated in advance! The talent list will be greatly updated soon! The rating estimate will be increased!”
“The opportunity to extract core talents is about to appear!!!”
It’s too late!
Gwen felt a sudden stabbing pain in her calf!
It feels like being stung by something!
“hiss!”
She couldn’t help but look down at her calves.
Then I felt myself being hit by something suddenly!
Lin Xiao rushed in time!
His original intention was to use his body to block or slap the spider away!
But it was too late! The spider had already bitten!
Or to be more precise, it was as if some kind of ‘substance’ of its own was injected or integrated into Gwen’s body at an extremely fast speed? !
But his sudden pounce caused Gwen to stagger and almost fall!
As the two were struggling, Lin Xiao was too late to catch the little spider that had completed its “mission”. He could only watch it turn into a shadow and blend into the crowd.
It did not stop, but rushed straight into the distance and disappeared from Lin Xiao’s perception range.
Gwen steadied herself, clutching her calf.
The pain was so severe that she could feel a small red and swollen lump through her pants.
“Lin Xiao? What’s wrong with you?” She raised her head, looking at Lin Xiao who had suddenly bumped into her with confusion and a little discomfort.
Many people around also saw this sudden scene – this Asian student suddenly plotted something bad against Gwen Stacy? In broad daylight?
He cast all kinds of suspicious and sidelong glances at me.
Peter was also startled by this sudden change and looked at Gwen with concern: “Gwen? Are you okay?!”
Lin Xiao had no time to pay attention to the looks around him! He also had no time to explain anything!
He stared at Gwen intently, or rather… stared at the information fed back by the system on her!
At that moment just now, with the contact of the spider!
An extremely strong…genetic energy pulse suddenly erupted around Gwen’s body!
That feeling was like a long-dormant seed being injected with the best catalyst! It was about to sprout and grow wildly!
Moreover, this energy fluctuation was extremely powerful, even a little scary! It was even more powerful than what he had sensed from Dr. Connors!
[Observable target: Gwen Stacy (Extraordinary transformation begins! Energy surges!)][The potential mutation characteristics in the body are rapidly activating and solidifying! The degree of integration with the external mutation source is extremely high! ]【Talent list updated! 】
【Epic Learning Ability】（A）
【Basic Physical Skills】(F-Rank)
[Biological Gene Stability/Perfect Fusion] (Epic Level! A!): Perfectly compatible and integrated with foreign mutant genes, achieving a win-win improvement. The host has strong vitality, enhanced recovery speed, and quickly adapts to external stimuli!
[Super Sense/Spider Sense Prototype] (Legendary! S!): Far superior to the sixth sense of ordinary people, it can sense danger, explore the environment, and predict crises. It is building a consciousness connection and information processing circuit!
[Biopower Burst] (Epic! A!): Physical power far beyond the upper limit of ordinary people. Being strengthened!
[Bio-agility Enhancement] (Epic! A!): Amazing speed and limb coordination. Improving!
[Vertical Climbing] (Rare Grade! B!): Temporarily changes the intermolecular forces on the surface of the body to achieve the ability to climb by adsorption. Solidifying!
[Micro-Regeneration] (Excellent Grade! D!): Accelerates self-healing. Solidifying!
…(Many other related talents are being determined!)…
“Core talents [Superior Perception/Spider Sense Prototype] (Legendary S), [Bio-Power Burst] (Epic A), [Bio-Agility Enhancement] (Epic A)… extraction conditions have been met!”
“The host can choose any talent that meets the system restrictions (S-level and below) to activate the remaining extraction opportunities!”
WTF!!! …
In Lin Xiao’s heart, it was as if ten thousand divine beasts were galloping through!
S-level! It’s out! And it’s not a potential unknown question mark, it’s a definite ‘legendary level’!
A-level talents are everywhere! In addition to [Learning Ability], three A-level combat attribute talents suddenly appeared! There is even an A-level [Biological Gene Stability]!
B-level [Vertical Climbing]! D-level [Micro-Regeneration]!
What the hell! What the hell! What the hell!
And the extraction conditions were met instantly?! It was because she came into contact with the spider mutation source! And the characteristics in Gwen’s body were induced!
Are these all consistent with the system’s judgment that [highly compatible mutations have occurred in the host]? !
Was it because he had just tried to get close to the spider?! What trace information was stored in his body?!
Or is it just a simple judgment by the system, as long as the conditions of “mutation core” + “mutation carrier” are met? !
It doesn’t matter anymore!
The important thing is – S-level! Legendary [Super Sensing/Spider Sense]!! Can it be extracted?!
The gift that was given was an instant withdrawal opportunity for S-level and below regardless of conditions!
Now is the perfect fucking time to use it!
Choose the S-level [Spider Sense]!
Or is it A-level [Bio-Power Burst] or [Agility Enhancement] or [Bio-Gene Stability]? !
Which one has the highest priority? ! Which one can enhance his ability to survive and grow the fastest and most effectively? !
Chapter 10 Choose Spider Sense?! Accident on the scene, Connors! (Please give me flowers and monthly tickets) (Old version)
This is an extremely difficult choice but one that must be made immediately!
[Spider Sense (S)]: Predict danger! This is the most direct life-saving skill! In the Marvel world, which is often attacked by surprise, assassination, cold artillery and even meteorites, survival is the kingly way! Predicting danger in advance can help him avoid most fatal crises! Although it has no direct attack power, its defensive and strategic value is top-notch!
[Strength Burst/Agility Enhancement (A)]: Directly improves his physical fitness, giving him superhuman melee combat ability and escape speed. Combined with his previous basic physical training, it can instantly raise him from an ordinary person to a master of physical skills (surpassing the grandmaster of fighting? Perhaps even higher)! This is direct combat power, more than enough to deal with street criminals, low-level superpowers, and even miscellaneous soldiers!
[Biological Gene Stability/Perfect Fusion (A)]: This is a potential talent! Can it enhance its own vitality and recovery, and is also compatible with subsequent mutation talents?! In other words, when extracting other genetic mutation talents (such as lizards, Hulks, and Wolverines) in the future, it will be smoother and have fewer side effects?! This is a long-term investment!
These three top talents are all within the gift opportunity range of S level and below! And they can all be withdrawn instantly!
Which one to choose? ! !
Lin Xiao’s mind was spinning at an unprecedented speed. His A-level learning ability was at its peak at this moment! The pros and cons of various options were evaluated instantly.
Pure strength and agility may be able to cope with minor emergencies. But in the face of the escalating crisis in this world, the S-level ability of “perceiving the future” and “predicting danger” is the most core survival instinct! It can prevent him from being involved in a situation that he cannot fight from the beginning! This is the trump card of information gap + perception of opportunity!
As for the stability of the A-level gene… although it is good, it is more important to have the ability to survive at the moment. Besides, it may not be impossible to extract it again when I meet Connors or other gene masters in the future!
Bet on S-level perception!
It is the highest rating that has appeared so far, and it is so important in Marvel that Peter Parker has performed it countless times with his life!
The moment he made the decision—
The rear area of ​​the Osborne Industrial Exhibition Grounds, near the employee passage!
A roar even more violent and chaotic than the beast’s roar just now rang out!
At the same time, there were screams of terror and the loud noise of metal twisting and deforming!
“Ah–monster!”
“It’s the Lizard Man! It escaped!”
A wave filled with ominous and powerful force swept through the venue like a tsunami!
This energy fluctuation! Lin Xiao was very familiar with it! It was the same one he had sensed near the school laboratory building two days ago! But now it was many times stronger! It was filled with wildness, anger, and out-of-control aura!
It’s Dr. Connors!
He, got out of control and mutated here?!
What a coincidence! Peter was bitten and Connors got into trouble right after?!
“Bang!”
A figure smashed the door of an employee passage directly. Its tall body was covered with green scales, and its long snout was dripping with disgusting saliva! Its right arm… was not wrapped with a sleeve! Instead, it had a huge claw covered with barbs!
Dr. Connors – the Lizard Man! He was exposed to the public and… Lin Xiao in the worst and most horrifying way!
[Observable Target: Kurt Connors/Lizard Man Form (Mutation Completed! Entering the Complete Form Stage! Losing Sanity!)][Talent list refreshed again! ]【Genius Gene Biology (Solidified/Unextractable)】
[Limb regeneration ability (epic level A!):][Prototype of Immortal Core (Mythical SS!): Theoretically eternal life! The host is currently unable to realize the potential of the core due to loss of sanity! Extraction difficulty: unknown! Need to wait for the target’s consciousness to recover or find a new extraction path! ][Perfect Lizard Physique (Legendary S!): Surpasses the physique of ordinary people in all aspects! Strength, speed, endurance, self-healing…all physical qualities are amazingly improved! Perfect mastery of reptile genes! ][Beast Instinct and Form (Rare Grade B!): Transform into a non-human beast form! ][Pure Fury (Excellent Grade D!): Pure desire for destruction, unable to communicate! Highly contagious! (May cause low-level mutations in others!)]WTF! WTF! WTF!!!!!!
S! S! And…SS-level!!! Mythical-level [Prototype of Immortal Core]!!!
Connors’ talent rating after mutation is so explosive? !
Immortal SS?! Lizard Physique S?! Regeneration A-level!!!
This is definitely a divine panel!
No matter how high the potential talents of Peter and Gwen are, they are still potential and future! Connors’s… are fucking ready-made, supernatural powers that have been mutated and manifested!
Now Gwen has S-level [Spider Sense] waiting to be extracted! Connors has S-level [Lizard Constitution], A-level [Limb Regeneration], and even a mythical-level [Prototype of Immortal Core]? !
And looking at the list, these… don’t seem to have the mark [Difficult to extract, conditions must be met]?
The only limitation is… Mythical Immortal and Legendary Lizard Physique do not seem to fall within the scope of [S-level and below free extraction opportunities]? ! !
But… A-level [limb regeneration ability]!! This is here!
What does this mean? !
Lin Xiao was about to press the extract button because of his S-level spider sense, but suddenly stopped!
He has one more free chance!
He can extract—Gwen’s S-class spider sense!
Or, this totally out of control, more accessible (because it attacks!) version of Dr. Connors’s Class-A limb regeneration?!
When it comes to survival, limb regeneration is just as good as spider sense! Even combined with his existing A-level learning ability (theoretical research on limb regeneration!), his potential is explosive!
This is an unprecedented decision!
Just at this moment!
The huge roar of the lizard man has caused chaos in the venue!
Panic spread like a plague! Screams were heard one after another!
As soon as the giant green lizard man appeared, his eyes immediately locked onto one direction – its test sample or… the place where it felt most unstable!
Peter Parker!
And! Gwen, who has just been stimulated by external genes and is awakening!
Chapter 10 is finished, please give me flowers
Chapter 11: Fatal Choice, Get the Legendary Talent! (Old Version)
One second!
This is the limited time left for Lin Xiao to make a decision!
Mutations are occurring within Gwen’s body, the Lizardmen are going berserk, and panic is spreading!
Mythical [Immortal Core (SS)]! Legendary [Lizard Constitution (S)]! Epic [Limb Regeneration (A)]! Epic [Spider Sense (S)]! Epic [Power Burst (A)]! Agility Enhancement (A)!
Each one is enough to drive people crazy! Each one is a magical skill that changes his fate!
Only one chance left for instant S-level extraction!
The Lizardman rushed out! Its bloodthirsty eyes were searching for its target!
Peter! Gwen!
They were all standing next to him! And the monster was obviously most interested in the mutation fluctuations that had just erupted in them!
No matter how powerful the force is, if it is not foreseen, it will be defeated by a sneak attack!
No matter how fast your regeneration is, you won’t have time to revive if you’re killed by a slap from a SS-level monster!
The SS-level immortal core, even the system marked that it needed to wait for consciousness to recover or find a new path before it could be extracted! It was useless even if I aimed at it now!
Only it!
The only legendary S-level talent! It allows him to avoid all fatal dangers in advance!
The brain is overclocked! All possibilities are evaluated in an instant!
The future SHIELD Hydra, the evil organizations spread all over the world, the alien civilizations eyeing you covetously, the evil gods outside the dimension… they won’t challenge you to a duel or follow the rules of the underworld!
What’s more, there are ambushes, traps, and missile showers!
S-level [Super Sense/Spider Sense] is far more valuable than any A-level combat power! It is even more practical than the mythical SS talent now!
After all, only by being alive can there be infinite possibilities! Only by being alive can you extract other talents!
It saved his life! Countless times!
“System! Instant extraction! Target – Gwen Stacy!”
“Talent——【Super Sensing/Spider Sense (Legendary! S!)】!!!”
The thought fell! No hesitation!
Even if this decision means temporarily giving up the A-level [Limb Regeneration] and even the unknown SS-level [Immortality] core!
Because the system detected Gwen’s body changes, right next to her! The extraction conditions have been met!
Although the violent lizardman is also close-range, its A-level regeneration can indeed be extracted, and the S-level lizard physique cannot be extracted for the time being… But the extraction conditions determined by the system on Gwen’s side are easier to achieve! It may be because Gwen has just been injected with the gene source! It is in the “initial stage” that is more suitable for “extraordinary extraction”!
In a flash!
An indescribable flow of extraordinary information instantly connected from Gwen to Lin Xiao!
There was no physical contact! It was simply because… the spider bit her! It triggered the latent S-level [mutation characteristic] in her body! It turned this talent into ‘ripe fruit that can be harvested immediately’!
This feeling! It’s so fucking sacred, so great! It’s worthy of being a legendary talent!
It is not a concrete sight, nor is it a concrete hearing with the ears or smell with the nose.
It’s a pure… perception of ‘danger’ and ‘unknown’!
It was as if the sixth sense was infinitely amplified, and the whole world suddenly lit up with countless points of light at the level of consciousness!
Every spot of light represents a future trajectory that may be unfavorable to him!
They come in various shapes, including display boards that are about to fall from above, crowds of people rushing over from behind, security personnel approaching from a distant passage, and even floating objects in the air that are so tiny that they cannot be captured!
And the most dazzling, hottest, and most destructive of all the light spots is——
In the distance, that tall green scaled monster! Lizardman! It instantly caught the similar but different abnormal fluctuations that erupted from Peter and Gwen (and Lin Xiao!) in the crowd! Its violent and twisted mind instinctively regarded them as… a fellow creature that must be contacted or ‘absorbed’, or… a competitor!
The lizard man’s huge body suddenly kicked the ground! His whole body was like a green cannonball, rolling up the broken marble tiles and the screaming and panicked crowd, rushing straight towards him!
The target is locked! It’s Gwen! And Peter and Lin Xiao who are right next to her!
At this moment, the system’s voice sounded!
“Ding! [Superior Perception/Spider Sense (Legendary S)] extraction and fusion succeeded!”
“Congratulations to the host for obtaining the first legendary extraordinary talent!”
A new torrent of information rushed into Lin Xiao’s mind! This time it was about the use of [Spider Sense]!
This is not pure sensory enhancement, but a warning at the level of mind! When a crisis is perceived, a unique, stinging “alarm” signal will instantly burst out in the brain! It’s like an advance prediction!
The pain instantly covered his brain, causing his body to stiffen for an imperceptible moment!
What follows is an imminent crisis of death!
I didn’t go to bed until six in the morning, one chapter per hour before 12 o’clock today! Please give me flowers and rewards!
Chapter 12: Induction Explosion! Threat from Lizardmen! (Old Version)
boom–!!!
The giant lizardman rushed over, leaving a mess wherever he passed!
Screams, the sound of objects breaking, and the sound of heavy objects falling all rang out!
People fled in all directions like a flock of frightened birds!
The lizardman’s huge, scaly head turned suddenly, capturing the abnormally flashing light on its “perception radar” – Gwen! Peter! And… Lin Xiao next to him!
A strong hunting instinct drives it! It is a mixture of the cold-blooded genes of lizards and the crazy nature of humans!
The strong sense of crisis made Lin Xiao’s scalp explode instantly! That was the roar of a brand new, legendary spider sense!
Not only did it sense the impact of the Lizardman’s body, it also predicted the possible trajectory of its attack, as well as the threat posed by the secondary collapse and ejected objects in the surrounding area due to the shock wave!
A large amount of ‘danger prediction’ information exploded in his mind like a barrage of bullets! Every cell in his body was sounding the alarm!
The body is slightly stiff due to processing this massive amount of information. This is a temporary discomfort after obtaining S-level talent!
“Gwen! Watch out!”
“Peter! Run!”
Someone in the crowd shouted in despair!
Gwen was a little confused by the severe pain in her calf and the strange feeling in her body that followed. She was also frightened by Lin Xiao’s sudden pounce and the monster in front of her!
She subconsciously pressed the wound on her calf. It was extremely painful, but… there was also a faint tingling sensation! As if something was about to… come out from inside?
Peter was even more flustered, looking at the hideous and huge monster in front of him. That was not Dr. Connors’ laboratory display model! That was… a living horror!
The lizardman’s sharp claws tore through the air! His tail, like a steel whip, swept across with the sound of breaking wind!
This is a range attack targeting the small area where Lin Xiao, Peter, Gwen and the others are!
There is no room for escape! Or rather, in the eyes of ordinary people, it is impossible to escape!
But Lin Xiao! His muscles suddenly tensed to the limit! The microscopic control of the body brought by the epic learning ability (A) was instantly activated! Combined with the perfect crisis avoidance route map from the [Super Perception (S)] he just obtained!
His body suddenly moved to the side at an unreasonable angle! At the same time, he reached out and grabbed Gwen and Peter beside him!
No! Not pulling! Pulling them subconsciously! Let them follow my movements and move sideways!
This is an instinctive action brought by spider sense! Predict and pull people around you to avoid AOE!
Their bodies were being pulled by a strange force like puppets! They barely avoided the lizard man’s fatal sweep!
Puff! Puff! Puff!
Several Osborne staff members who didn’t have time to escape or react in time were swept away by the lizard man’s thick tail! They hit the solid exhibition stand with a sound that made people’s teeth ache! It was unknown whether they were alive or dead!
Large areas of display equipment and glass showcases were destroyed, and the scene was in chaos!
Gwen and Peter were thrown to the ground by Lin Xiao! They were pale and sweaty!
“What was that just now?” Gwen looked at the booth that was so close and deformed. That was where they almost crashed into! If Lin Xiao hadn’t pulled them…
She looked at Lin Xiao.
Why was this guy able to react in advance? And his reaction speed was so ridiculous?! The force that pulled them was far beyond the arm strength of an ordinary high school student?!
Peter was equally shocked! He thought he was quite strong from cleaning the lab and moving things, but in front of the instantaneous explosive power and reaction speed that Lin Xiao had just shown… he was like a skinny baby!
And… this monster… its roar…
Why does it sound… a little familiar? ! ! Peter’s body suddenly stiffened!
Chapter 13: Full Intelligence! Make an Escape Plan! (Old Version)
“Run! Run!”
Lin Xiao didn’t have any time to explain! The epic spider sense was roaring! Not only was the lizard man chasing! There was also a more intense security system reaction sound coming from the underground of Osborn Industries! Stronger security forces were about to arrive at the scene!
The subconscious action he just burst out, as well as the unusual strength and reaction speed he displayed, are likely to attract unnecessary attention!
Now is not the time to show off your strength! Survive first! Then try to extract Connors’ talent!
The lizardman’s huge body did not stop! It propped its scaly claws on the ground and leaped up! It was ready for a new round of pursuit or predation!
Its eyes locked onto Peter and Gwen again! Their abnormal fluctuations were constantly stimulating it!
And the ‘prey’ almost slipped away just now, which made the violent lizardman even more angry!
Lin Xiao’s brain is working at a high speed! [Epic Learning Ability (A)] plays the greatest role in critical moments! Combining the knowledge of the previous life, the intelligence of this life, plus the intelligence of Osborn’s internal map, and all the subtle information fed back by the spider sense!
The escape plan was formed in an instant!
Currently, the escape exit is the main entrance! But the main entrance is crowded! And it is very likely that the lizardmen will make the main entrance their first target!
Security forces are approaching from the inner passages, especially from the forks leading to the exhibition hall! If you force your way in, you will run into security forces, expose your identity, or even get trapped!
The safest and most efficient path——
The employee passage that the Lizardman broke open! Although there might be some missed quarantines, or more security inside!
But! That place is closer to those ‘sample isolation areas’! And it is the most chaotic there right now, and there is a high possibility of a breakthrough!
The most important thing is that through the prediction of spider sense, that direction temporarily avoids the gathering point of most major security forces!
Peter and Gwen! Carrying them both with me, is it a protection? Is it a burden?
Taking them with him would undoubtedly increase the risk! But leaving two ordinary students in this dangerous place?! He couldn’t do it with his conscience! Not to mention, these two… one is an S-level Chosen One with great potential (Peter’s future possibility), and the other has just acquired the S-level mutation characteristics like him (Gwen! A living textbook!)! They must survive!
Chapter 14: Wild Tactics! Confronting the Lizardmen! (Please recommend) (Old version)
The lizardman pounced! It brought with it a terrifying wind pressure! The stench made it difficult for the people around to breathe!
“Go! Follow me! This way!!”
Lin Xiao yelled! Without any explanation! He grabbed Peter and Gwen’s wrists and rushed towards the door that the lizard man had smashed!
Instead of running away from the monsters, they went the other way and rushed in the direction the monsters were rushing out?!
This choice shocked everyone around, including Peter and Gwen!
However, the powerful pulling force displayed by Lin Xiao was irresistible to them! Although his epic strength talent had not yet reached A-level (it needed to wait for Gwen’s mutation to stabilize), his explosive power application instinct brought by the induction he had just obtained allowed his basic strength to be perfectly activated!
What shocked them the most was that while Lin Xiao was rushing towards that area at high speed, he twisted his body dangerously and avoided the slap and sweep of the lizard man again!
His evasion was not a straight line escape! Instead, it was a twist and shift with a strange rhythm! Every step seemed to be calculated! Perfectly avoiding every fatal attack of the behemoth!
This is… the ultimate body movement guided by the epic spider sense?! Although his body has not yet completed the agility enhancement after the mutation, this perfect evasion prediction makes Lin Xiao look like a top parkour master! Even beyond!
boom!
The ground behind him was pounded into a hole by the powerful force of the lizard man! Gravel flew everywhere!
Lin Xiao dragged the two of them, sliding through the chaos like a loach! Rushing towards the broken door!
“Ahhh!”
The lizardman roared angrily! The prey was slipping away! And… the alluring vibrations coming from these two prey were so clear! They could not be let go!
Its mouth full of sharp teeth suddenly opened, spewing out a sticky and smelly liquid!
Is that… a highly acidic liquid? Or is it just disgusting saliva?!
Spider sense instantly gives a fatal warning! This attack has a range! It has a corrosive or hysteresis effect! Must be avoided!
“Get down!!”
Lin Xiao fell to the ground suddenly, pressing Gwen and Peter down together!
The foul-smelling liquid flew past their scalps! It landed on the carpet and metal equipment, making a sizzling corrosion sound! Green smoke rose up!
Is it really corrosive?!
Lin Xiao didn’t have time to think about it! He rolled on the ground! The three of them rolled into the employee passage that was broken open by the lizard man like rolling gourds!
“Bang!”
Break into the door! Behind is a dark and narrow corridor! It is in sharp contrast with the bright and beautiful exhibition hall!
Peter and Gwen struggled to their feet, looking palely at the corridor behind them.
The huge body of the lizard man was squeezing into the door! It was too big for this corridor! From the broken door just now, it was clear that it had been ramming here a lot!
It twisted its body and tried to rush in! The corridor was filled with its violent roar and banging sounds!
This corridor temporarily restricts the movement of the Lizardmen! This is an opportunity!
However, the spider sense sounded the alarm again! The security guards were approaching quickly from other directions of this passage!
It will be too late if you don’t leave now!
Chapter 15 Deep in the Chaos! Peter’s Epiphany?! (Old Version)
“Don’t be stunned! Follow me!”
Lin Xiao shouted! Without further explanation, he dragged Peter and Gwen into the depths of the corridor!
Dark corridor! This should not be an open area! It is filled with the smell of various laboratories! A mixture of disinfectant, unknown chemicals and… a faint, disgusting rotten stench!
It is much stronger than the aura Connors gave off in the exhibition hall before he mutated!
Is this the quarantine area or sample area?
Spider-Sense gives the best path guidance! It is not a simple straight line! Instead, it is a choice among complex and intertwined passages! Which direction avoids the most security personnel? Which direction leads to a safer (for the time being) exit? Which direction may encounter more potential extraordinary targets? !
Lin Xiao followed the instructions of the spider’s sense completely! It was an intuitive guidance, no need to think through the brain! The body would automatically make the choice!
He was like a ghost! He shuttled through the dark corridors! His movements were agile and his speed was amazing!
Peter and Gwen were completely shocked by Lin Xiao’s speed! They thought they were usually in good physical condition, but compared to Lin Xiao now…
Gwen was particularly surprised! This guy’s strength! Speed! And that incredible ability to avoid obstacles! Completely beyond that of an ordinary person! Moreover! His body seemed to be emitting a kind of… strange energy fluctuations?
A wave that was somewhat similar to the severe pain in my calf, and the numbness and itchiness that followed? !
Before she had time to think about it, the numbness and burning sensation in her calves became stronger and stronger! Pain and itchiness!
“Hiss——” Gwen couldn’t help but take a low breath.
Peter was dizzy from the chaos around him, the screams, the roars of the lizardmen, and Lin Xiao’s unreasonable speed.
Brain overload!
He stumbled and ran after her! His body made various evasive movements uncontrollably! He was forced to do so by Lin Xiao’s powerful pulling force!
He suddenly looked at Lin Xiao’s back in front of him.
The transfer student who seemed a little strange just now, now has an extremely majestic back?! There was no panic on his face, his eyes were clear, and he seemed to know everything around him!
Dr. Connors… the exhibition… the mutant monster… Lin Xiao… Gwen… myself…
The brain connects all the information just now like lightning!
Osborn Industries’ genetic modification, Dr. Connors’ lizard regeneration, and… the place on my hand that was bitten by that little spider a few days ago… Why didn’t my body change?! But Gwen’s legs…
Could it be that… the Lizard Man is Dr. Connors? ! Those genetic spiders are the product of experiments? !
Peter was shocked! At this moment, his brain pieced together all the seemingly independent clues into the most terrifying possibility!
It was at this moment!
The screams in his ears suddenly became… extremely harsh in his perception! It was as if hundreds of sound sources were speaking at the same time!
Lin Xiao suddenly turned to the side passage! His scalp instantly went numb! A few dozen meters ahead, several fully armed security guards suddenly appeared! They were rushing towards them!
And the spider sense also caught it! There was a sound in the side ventilation duct! Someone sneaked in! Security! Are there other intruders?! Osborn is really lively tonight!
Peter felt like his ears were about to explode! All the sounds were amplified countless times! It was as if they were hitting his fragile eardrums directly!
This is not tinnitus caused by fear! Rather, it is… a huge change in some senses!
Moreover! Not only hearing! His sense of smell has also become extremely sharp! He can distinguish the subtle differences in the sweat and clothing fiber smells of each person in the air, as well as… the increasingly strong, disgusting stench of decay and drugs! That is coming from behind them! Lizardman?! It’s catching up!
The blood in the body seemed to be boiling! Strength! An unprecedented sense of strength surged through the body! The muscle fibers were vibrating, and the bones seemed to be growing!
He suddenly grabbed Lin Xiao’s wrist! He didn’t grab it out of fear! Instead… he subconsciously used terrifying strength!
Lin Xiao was stunned! Peter grabbed him just now… What a strong force? !
The system senses! The energy fluctuations in Peter Parker!
[Observable target: Peter Parker (The mutation factor in his body is strongly stimulated by the outside world! His talent ‘Secret Characteristics’ is being activated! The intensity is rising rapidly!)][Talent list is being updated! Epic! Legendary! Horror! Coming soon!]Holy shit! Peter! Is! He’s mutating too?!
Was it stimulated by the energy pulse that just erupted from Gwen? Or was it stimulated by the fear of the lizard man behind him?
Or maybe… he was actually bitten when he was at the genetically modified spider booth! He just had a slow reaction? Now, under the double stimulation, he suddenly exploded? !
It doesn’t matter! Is this double happiness?!
But right now, he has to take these two troublesome guys who have just started to mutate and avoid the security guards who are about to collide with him, as well as the lizard man who is chasing him violently from behind!
And Gwen beside her!
Her body suddenly arched up!
“Aaaaa——!”
A suppressed roar of pain burst out from her mouth!
Not Peter’s sensual outburst! Gwen’s is more direct! More painful!
Her whole body! Beads of sweat began to appear! Her face was flushed! Her body was twitching! A strange liquid even oozed out from the place where her calf was bitten! The blood vessels under her skin seemed to be beating! Her muscles were rapidly spasming and strengthening!
That is wild growth at the cellular level!
That was… Epic-level [Bio-Power Explosion (A)]! Epic-level [Bio-Agility Enhancement (A)]! Legendary-level [Bio-Gene Stability (A)]! These were signs that extraordinary physical talents were rapidly forming!
Compared to Peter’s, which is more manifested in the senses and energy level (unknown characteristics), Gwen’s change is more direct! More physical! More obvious!
This is consistent with her A-level high intelligence. Maybe her body is more accepting of external mutations, or the manifestation is different? !
However, this kind of whole-body mutation happening while moving at high speed is too dangerous!
Gwen stumbled and fell to the ground! She hugged her knees tightly, her whole body arched, and groaned in pain!
Sweat wet her blonde hair and pain distorted her face!
This fall directly caused them to lose their speed advantage!
Peter immediately rushed to Gwen and tried to help her up, but he didn’t have time to react to the drastic changes in his body!
Behind them, the huge lizardman was turning into this narrow passage! In front of them, the security guards were less than 30 meters away from them!
Life or death! It’s just a matter of seconds!
Chapter 16: Monsters within reach! Talent re-scan! (Please give me flowers!) (Old version)
Epic [Spider Sense (S)] screamed like crazy! Warning Lin Xiao of all fatal threats coming from both the front and back!
Should he abandon Peter and Gwen and use his spider-sense to dodge perfectly by himself?
This is the option with the highest chance of survival! But he doesn’t!
These two are potential S in the future! Moreover, they are friends he recognizes (although they have only known each other for a short time, they have a good impression of each other!), which is the bottom line of conscience!
Yes! A living, precious source of talent! He needs to see their talent fully mature and stable! Only then can he decide who the next target will be! He can’t lose them here or even watch them fall to the ground!
The brain quickly comes up with solutions! [Epic Learning Ability (A)] Simulate the environment! Use the map information you have mastered! Spider sense gives threat avoidance!
There is a utility room on the side! Go in! Although it is not a safe passage, it can buy time! And it is covered!
“Utility room!” Lin Xiao yelled! He grabbed the fallen Gwen with one hand and Peter with the other!
With his horrifying perception, he saw clearly the small door that was closest and in line with the avoidance route!
Behind him, the lizardman rushed into the corridor completely! His huge body was completely exposed in this narrow passage! At the critical moment, the security personnel in front realized that Lin Xiao and his team were intruders, and raised their guns and prepared to fire!
He suddenly turned his body and dragged the two of them towards the storage room next to him!
The three of them were like lightning! No! More like a gust of twisted wind! They rushed straight towards the narrow door!
Rushing into the utility room! Lin Xiao slammed the door shut!
“Bang! Bang!”
Almost at the same time as he closed the door, two bullets and a horrible crash were heard from outside at the same time!
The security guards opened fire! At the same time, the lizardmen who were trapped in the narrow passage also discovered Lin Xiao and his men’s intentions! They furiously rammed the walls of the passage, making an ear-piercing roar!
However, the door of this utility room was unusually heavy! Perhaps it was the level of an important isolation or buffer room inside Osborne! It actually withstood it!
The small utility room! Filled with the unpleasant smell of dust, mops, and various cleaning agents! And… Gwen’s suppressed, painful groans and Peter’s rapid and heavy breathing!
And! The sound of the wall being hit, the door opening loudly, and the beast roaring so close!
Lizard Man! Right outside the door?!
Boom! Boom!
The door of the utility room made a loud noise, and the metal door began to twist! Under the crazy impact outside! It couldn’t hold on for too long!
Is that a lizard man banging on the door?!
Peter and Gwen huddled in a corner. They couldn’t believe that there was a monster just behind a twisted metal door! Dr. Connors!
They heard the hellish sound in their ears and their whole bodies were shaking!
The mutation reaction in Gwen’s body continued! The pain of her bones and flesh being torn apart and then reassembled almost made her faint! But her instinct for survival made her hold on to the mop handle next to her tightly, and her muscles all over her body contracted and twitched uncontrollably due to the mutation!
The changes in Peter’s body were more “internal”. The explosive impact of his senses had eased a little, but he felt the power surging in his body getting stronger and stronger! His muscles were tense, as if he could easily tear everything apart!
He glanced at Gwen who was twitching in pain on the ground, then glanced at the door that was so close that it seemed like it would break open at any time, his eyes filled with despair!
Am I going to die here? In such a damn place! By a doctor who turned me into a monster!
Lin Xiao could also clearly hear the crash outside! Every time it hit him like a blow! [Epic Spider Sense (S)] Crazy warning! A huge crisis enveloped the entire small space!
But this powerful perception also allowed him to feel more clearly than ever before, just through a metal door! The huge energy and clear innate pulse inside the body of the crazy monster outside!
Now! It was close range! The target was out of control! All defenses were almost focused on the idea of ​​breaking in!
The best… maybe even the last chance! To extract his gift?!
Target: Kurt Connors/Lizard Man!
The talent list is refreshed again:
[Limb regeneration ability (epic level! A!): stabilized, fusion degree 99%][Lizard Perfect Form (Legendary! S!): Stabilized, Fusion Degree 100%][Beast Instinct and Form (Rare Grade! B!): Stabilized, Fusion Degree 100%][Pure Rage (Excellent Grade! D!): Stabilized, Fusion Degree 90%][Prototype of Immortal Core (Mythical Grade! SS!): The core’s potential has not been released, and the difficulty of extraction is unknown…]Sure enough! At that moment, in the center of the venue! The lizard man’s mutation was completely complete! What he showed was the manifestation of his complete talent!
SS-level immortality is still unavailable! S-level lizard physique is also outside the limit of that gift opportunity! B-level beast instinct? D-level rage? It’s completely meaningless!
But A-level! [Limb Regeneration Ability]!!! Epic! It’s still on the list!
Moreover, through the combination of spider sense and A-level intelligence, the lizard man’s core of thought is now all focused on… rushing in and finding the two mutation sources that triggered its crazy instincts (Gwen and Peter)! And maybe… the guy who pulled them away and made it feel a little threatened (Lin Xiao)!
This is a great opportunity! Take advantage of the Lizardman’s limited ability to crash into the door and his high concentration! Perform an active extraction!
Chapter 17: Purgatory and Life-threatening! Dual-core Mutation! (Climax, everything is required!) (Old version)
Time is running out! This door can only withstand three more such impacts!
Once the lizardman rushes in! With its epic strength and agility, coupled with the beast’s madness and deadly regeneration! In such a small space, the three people have no chance of winning! Peter and Gwen’s mutation is still in the painful stage of being out of control, and they have no fighting power at all!
Only him! Lin Xiao! He has A-level learning, S-level spider sense, basic physique and a little bit of control instinct! But it’s not enough! Far from enough!
He needs a more direct and powerful means of self-protection or counterattack!
Limb regeneration!
If he could extract this A-level talent! Combined with his A-level learning ability, his understanding of biology, genetics, and regeneration… he would be able to gain extremely strong battlefield survivability! Facing the attacks of the lizardmen, even if he couldn’t avoid the vital parts, some non-fatal injuries could be quickly recovered! This would greatly increase the chances of surviving here until Osborn’s top security (or external support such as a battle suit boss) arrived!
This is the highest level talent that can be extracted at present! Its priority is second only to the S-level Spider Sense that has just been obtained!
Opportunity cannot be missed!
This time it is no longer a gift opportunity! Instead, it is an “active extraction” under the normal system mode!
What he was betting on was whether the system would relax the extraction conditions when he was extremely close to the target and the target was in a violent behavior? !
He didn’t have time to observe and study the conditions slowly! He had to give it a try!
“System! Extract talent! Target – Kurt Connors!”
“Talent——【Limb Regeneration Ability (Epic Level! A!)】!”
The thought fell! Lin Xiao was even prepared to face the failure of the extraction, or to pay a huge price!
“Ding! Received active extraction command from host!”
“Target [Kurt Connors/Lizardman Form], close range judgment: established!”
“Talent [Limb Regeneration Ability (Epic Level! A!)] Judgment: Meets extraction criteria!”
“Conditions: The host must maintain continuous and stable physical contact with the target. The duration is determined by the strength of the talent and the host’s fusion. Estimated time: 1 minute!”
“Insufficient conditions! Force extraction? Forced extraction will cause high-intensity consumption of system energy! The host or target may suffer an unpredictable and severe rejection reaction!”
Lin Xiao’s pupils shrank suddenly! Forced extraction?! And… the target might suffer a severe rejection reaction? Connors has already mutated out of control! Another severe rejection reaction? What will happen to him?! Stronger?! Crazier?! Or… directly disintegrate?!!
This is a vicious choice! But this… is his only way to survive at this moment! It is also a perfect opportunity to take advantage of the chaos to gain power!
Moreover! What about the A-level [Biological Gene Stability/Perfect Fusion] in his body?! Doesn’t this talent have any affinity and adaptability to the regeneration ability from the lizard? Isn’t it enough to reduce the difficulty of extraction or side effects?
The system’s prompts did not take the host’s own talents into consideration! It determined the interaction between the host and the target, as well as the difficulty of the talent itself!
The sentence “the host or target may suffer unpredictable and severe rejection reaction” may also be a two-way threat!
There was no time to hesitate! Outside the door! A third huge crash came! The door was twisted even more! Cracks appeared!
Peter and Gwen are still huddled in the corner! Their pain and transformation are still ongoing!
He had to finish the extraction as soon as possible! He only had one minute to force the extraction! And the door… might not even last 30 seconds!
Let’s fight!
Don’t mind life or death, just fight if you don’t agree! This is Marvel! If you don’t dare to take risks, you will end up on the side of the road sooner or later!
Just a severe rejection reaction?! I have money and a system, so what am I afraid of? At worst, I can extract Wolverine’s self-healing talent to make up for it!
No matter how out of control and crazy Connors is, it’s better than him rushing in and falling to the ground! At least he still has the A-level [Limb Regeneration] to extract from him!
“System! Forced extraction!!!”
“Target–Kurt Connors!”
“Ding! Forced extraction command confirmed!”
“High-intensity consumption of system energy begins!”
“Forcefully link the target’s core talent source!”
“【Limb Regeneration Ability (A)】Extracting… Progress 1%… 2%…”
A violent energy with the aura of crazy growth and destruction of living things suddenly penetrated from outside the door! Like a chain with barbs! It directly wrapped around Lin Xiao’s body!
This is not the fusion of the talent information flow! This is the horrible side effect of ‘stealing’ energy directly from the talent source? !
Huge pain instantly spread throughout his body! Lin Xiao felt as if his body was being torn apart alive! The flesh and blood in his body were screaming! Every nerve was stripped open and soaked in electric current and acid!
This kind of pain! Is it more than a hundred times more severe than the stabbing pain in my brain when my spider sense awakened just now?!
This… is a severe rejection reaction?! Or is this the backlash caused by the runaway biological energy in Connors’ body and the forced connection with Lin Xiao himself?!
Outside the door! The crashing sound suddenly stopped! Instead, there was a scream that was more shrill and painful than any before!
“Ah—hiss—!”
That was the roar of the lizard man! Mixed with some terrible wails as if the flesh was being cut by a knife and forcibly peeled off!
He! Is suffering from rejection! And it may be more severe than Lin Xiao’s!
His roar made the small space even more deafening! Peter and Gwen looked at the twisted door and Lin Xiao, who was holding his body in pain, in horror! They didn’t know why Lin Xiao suddenly fell to the ground in pain! They just thought he was also affected!
The extraction progress was slowly increasing! But with every jump, Lin Xiao endured the torment of his soul and body being torn apart at the same time!
Connors’s roar and crazy banging outside the door! He was no longer rushing towards the door! Instead… he seemed to be attacking everything around him randomly?! His consciousness was completely trapped in the bottom layer of chaos, stripped of his core talent (or backlash talent!)!
This is a rare respite! He won!
But! The Spider-Sense (S) was screaming like crazy at the same time! It wasn’t just the intermittent danger caused by Connors’s uncontrolled attacks around him!
But——he! Lin Xiao himself!
The body was in severe pain! The mutation factors in the blood were colliding and fusing crazily with the “regenerative energy” that had just been “extracted” and had strong vitality and growth!
This is not as simple as a lizard regenerating and grafting it into a normal human body!
He also possesses the [Epic Learning Ability (A)] of all genetic biology! He also has the [Legendary Spider Sense (S)], an extraordinary instinct from a perfect mutation carrier! He also has his own [Epic Biological Genetic Stability (A)], an epic panacea foundation!
Now, there is Dr. Connors! Epic! A! [Limb Regeneration]! This talent itself is a product of biotechnology and supernatural mutation!
Top-level extraordinary powers and genetic information of various origins and natures were forcibly fused and collided in Lin Xiao’s body!
This is a terrifying process that is like alchemy, where the self is out of control and going on internally!
Lin Xiao’s whole body was twitching uncontrollably! The bones and muscles in his body were making subtle sounds of breaking and reorganizing! The blood vessels were bulging! Under the skin, there were even faint signs of… scales or bone spurs! And they were disappearing quickly!
It was as if the spider gene, the regeneration gene, and his biological stability… underwent an unprecedented! Violent fusion in his body? !
Epic [Spider Sense (S)] issues the highest level of warning! This mutation… is more deadly than external dangers! It may cause his body to disintegrate! Or… will it mutate into an irreversible and horrible form? !
Chapter 18 Gene Storm! Fusion Epic Rebirth! (Old Version)
That is, purgatory!
Pain! Unimaginable pain! From deep within the flesh, bones, and cells, it was like millions of steel needles piercing at the same time! It was like a miniature nuclear bomb was buried in the body, exploding violently!
Every gene in the body! It seemed as if they were roaring furiously! Roaring and rejecting the uninvited foreign guest!
Lin Xiao’s body was bent like a shrimp! The pain made him unable to make a sound. He could only grit his teeth and groan like a wounded beast!
Under the skin, the muscles were throbbing and squirming uncontrollably! Some parts were bulging, as if bones were about to come out! Other parts were shrinking and sunken, as if the flesh and blood had been wiped out!
Waves of horrible burning and tearing sensations erupted in his body!
The powerful and aggressive “regenerative energy” drawn from the outside, with the wildness and growth unique to the lizard gene, tried to force its way into Lin Xiao’s originally complex and exclusive system!
Lin Xiao now has multiple top-notch ‘genetic foundations’ or ‘talent foundations’ in his body.
His own [Epic Biological Genetic Stability (A)] was the foundation! It was like an extremely solid fortress, blocking the invasion while trying to understand and guide it! But at this moment, facing this direct and violent force, the fortress was also shaky!
[Legendary Spider Sense (S)] screamed crazily! Its perception was not only of external dangers, but also pointed to the edge of collapse inside Lin Xiao’s body! In a painful way, it reminded him of the collapse point that was about to erupt every time! It guided the energy in his body (although Lin Xiao had not yet figured out what his basic energy was besides his talent) to resist and repair!
And his [Epic Learning Ability (A)], under this extreme pain, instinctively accelerated its operation! Combining the countless biological, genetic, and cellular knowledge he had just learned! Trying to understand the nature of this “gene storm” in the body! Finding a way to theoretically “stabilize” or even “integrate” this chaos!
The pain makes the mind confused, but the powerful A-level learning ability, under this life-and-death stimulation, bursts out terrible potential!
It was as if countless complex gene chains and cell structure diagrams were reorganized in my mind! Arranged! Trying to build a brand new super gene framework that can be compatible with [Regeneration], [Spider], and even unknown potential talents (from my own base)? !
This is an autonomous evolution and barbaric fusion happening at the cellular level!
The system is also consuming energy at a high intensity, maintaining the painful “link” with the lizardman outside the door! Ensure that the extraction process of [limb regeneration ability] is not interrupted!
The extraction progress bar was ticking very slowly! Along with the numbing screams of pain and the sound of flesh being torn apart, both inside Lin Xiao’s body and outside the door, the lizardmen were screaming in pain and making their scalps numb!
That was the horrific reaction of two different life forms having their top talents forcibly stripped away and forced upon them at the same time!
Connors’s roar, Peter’s trembling, Gwen’s pain… all the sounds merged into this small utility room! It was like hell on earth!
Chapter 19: The genius student saves himself, the last song of the biologist?! (Old version)
Gene fusion failed! Body disintegration! Or irreversible defects and mutations!
My scalp tingles just thinking about it!
Lin Xiao struggled to think in pain! [Epic Learning Ability (A)] It was running like a cheat!
The composition of human cells, the toughness protein of spiders, the structure of sensory neurons, the rapid regeneration of lizards, the theory of cross-species fusion protein, the vast amount of knowledge he swallowed was now opened like an encyclopedia!
How to balance! How to find the only harmony in the chaos! How to make these brutal forces… not destroy each other, but strengthen each other? !
The [Epic Biological Genetic Stability (A)] is working. It provides super high tolerance and resilience, but it is not enough to forcibly reverse this inevitable death situation! It needs ‘direction’!
What is the direction?!
Not a lizard! Not a spider!
But he! Lin Xiao! His own ‘mortal genes’ are the basis for fusion!
The spider mutation is a perfect-level mutation (S-level perception, A-level strength, etc., but it does not bring beast instincts!), because it has the ‘perfect carrier’ of the Chosen One – Peter Parker or now Gwen!
And Dr. Connors’s lizard man… is a mutant with defects (although he is talented, he is violent, unstable, and will degenerate). That’s because he is not a perfect ‘lizard gene carrier’, it’s just a forced one!
His own 【Epic Biological Gene Stability (A)】talent makes him closer to the concept of “perfect carrier” than ordinary people? !
Then! The core idea should be!
It’s not about making mortal genes compatible with spiders and lizards!
Instead, it allows the “spider characteristics” and “lizard regeneration” that are fighting in the body to form a brand new balanced ecology based on its own [biological gene stability (A)]!
They no longer fight each other! Instead, they each play different roles! Find their own “rooms” in their own gene buildings, and even… cooperate with each other to achieve a more perfect biological form? !
Theoretically yes?! But this requires guiding the direction of billions of gene fragments and protein chains at the microscopic cellular level! This requires control that is billions of times greater than that of ordinary humans!
Even the understanding brought by epic learning ability, even the perception brought by legendary spider sense, even the tolerance brought by epic genetic stability, are far from achieving this kind of cellular-level micro-manipulation!
Unless… unless there is a super genius like a creator who has absolute control over the genes of life to lead the fusion? !
Something like Mr. Fantastic? Or a higher dimensional conceptual ability?!
He didn’t! Not now!
But in this state, he relied on [Epic Learning Ability (A)] to frantically learn and digest all known biological knowledge! Combined with the weak affinity control brought by the [Biological Gene Stability (A)] talent! And the extreme perception of the microscopic state of the body by [Legendary Spider Sense (S)]!
He… seemed to be in the darkness, touching a little bit… the boundary of ‘gene editors’? !
It hurts! But the pain is clearer now! He can feel which gene chains are broken and reconnected, which are foreign proteins trying to fold, and which are power cells and regeneration cells devouring each other…
Theory guides the direction! Stability provides the foundation! Perception provides monitoring! Consciousness issues instructions (although it is very weak)!
He turned his will into the finest thread! He penetrated into every conflicting gene spiral! He tried to sort them out according to the ‘balance theory’ model he constructed?!
Chapter 20 Dual-core Fusion! New changes to talent terms? ! (Old version)
Fusion, painful and long!
It seemed to last for a century! And it seemed to last for just a few breaths!
The banging sounds outside the door, the screams fading away, and all the chaos in the outside world seemed to be blocked out.
Lin Xiao’s entire senses were immersed in this genetic nuclear war within his body!
Finally! Under Lin Xiao’s tenacious ‘combing’ of consciousness and the spontaneous ‘coordination’ of talent! The most terrible genetic conflict that was heading towards the disintegration of the body… stopped!
It is no longer a purely brutal confrontation, but a strange, shaky…dynamic balance has been achieved!
The spider’s active genes and the lizard’s regenerative mechanisms in the body did not completely destroy each other.
Under the foundation of [Biological Gene Stability (A)] and under the theoretical ‘command’ of Lin Xiao’s [Learning Ability (A)], they barely… found a mode of coexistence?!
[Legendary Spider Sense (S)] successfully built its powerful sensory network! It penetrated into every nerve ending in the body! It allowed Lin Xiao to not only sense external dangers, but also clearly “see inside” his own body at the microscopic level!
The active substance of [Epic Limb Regeneration Ability (A)] took root in his body! It was no longer pure crazy growth, but within the ‘framework’ established by Spider-Sense and under the ‘guidance’ of his intelligence, it could repair and grow itself peacefully! It was like a super healing unit on standby at any time!
The [Epic Biological Genetic Stability/Perfect Fusion (A)] is like the main beam of the building of the human body, ensuring that the modules do not infringe on each other, and can even promote cooperation between the two to a certain extent!
This is an incomplete prototype of a ‘perfect creature’! It’s like piecing together components from different top-level templates!
The system prompt appears again, this time not a warning, but a confirmation.
“Ding! Talent [Epic Limb Regeneration Ability (A)] was successfully integrated!”
“Epic genetic stability (A), legendary spider sense (S), epic limb regeneration (A), three core extraordinary talents, based on the host’s mortal genes, to achieve a temporary stable coexistence state.”
“System talent list refreshed!”
[Host: Lin Xiao][Talent list:][Super Sense/Spider Sense] (Legendary! S!)
[Limb Regeneration Ability] (Epic Level! A!)
[Biological Gene Stability/Coordinated Evolution] (Epic! A!) [Entry Upgrade]: Highly tolerant, promotes the coordinated coexistence and mutual evolution of mutation factors in the body! Reduces mutation rejection, and has a chance to promote the birth and optimization of new mutations!
【? Level Adaptive Self-Healing】(Undetermined): Based on the strength of the fused gene mutation, the targeted recovery and growth capabilities are obtained, with a probability of converting trauma into an advantageous mutation point. (Under formation, the strength depends on the mutation gene level and the host’s stability)
The new changes in the list caused huge waves in Lin Xiao’s heart again!
The epic [Biological Gene Stability (A)] entry has been upgraded?! From “Perfect Fusion” to “Coordinated Evolution”?!
It is no longer just passive fusion! It can also promote the evolution of mutation factors in the body… and even promote new mutations?! Or optimize existing ones!
The [Adaptive Self-Healing (Undetermined)] at the end! What the hell is this?! Trauma converted into an advantageous mutation point?! Isn’t this one of Wolverine’s bullshit supernatural abilities in the comics?! Can you grow stronger tissues after being injured?!
Holy shit! A second mutation of an epic talent! This is his own [Biological Gene Stability (A)] talent, after integrating the two top gene mutation systems of Spider S and Regeneration A, it was reversely stimulated to bring out a deeper potential? !
Chapter 21: Lying down is also a talent for earning money?! Peter’s explosion! (Old version)
The severe pain finally receded like a tide.
Instead, a tingling sensation spread throughout Lin Xiao’s body.
He could feel that every cell in his body was cheering and leaping for joy.
The pain of tearing and reassembling seemed as if it had never happened.
A-level [Limb Regeneration Ability]! Awesome!
It’s not just about regrowing a severed limb.
It is an ultimate mastery of vitality and a perfect self-healing of the body’s structure.
Combined with the A-level [Biological Genetic Stability/Coordinated Evolution] and the S-level [Super Sensing/Spider Sense]…
He felt as if he had become his own top bioengineer.
Every cell is within his perception and obeys his will.
Although it is only a vague “directional” guidance, it is unable to achieve cellular-level micro-manipulation.
But this sense of control gave him unprecedented confidence in his body.
“Lin Xiao?! Are you…are you okay?”
Peter struggled to stand up, ignoring the waves of pain in his body.
He saw Lin Xiao twitching in pain and thought he was also affected by the monster.
Gwen also curled up in the corner, her face pale and groaning softly.
The abnormal reaction in her body seemed to be more intense than Peter’s.
The place where the calf was bitten has become swollen, and the blood vessels can be seen beating faintly under the skin.
“I… I’m fine…” Lin Xiao’s throat was a little hoarse, but the weakness in his voice was quickly fading away.
Class A has an amazing regeneration speed.
He leaned against the wall, trying to observe the narrow and dark ventilation duct.
Cold metal material, with a strong smell of dust and engine oil.
There was the hum of machines overhead, and…faint screams and explosions in the distance.
Osborne Industries, this night is destined to be restless.
[Epic Spider Sense (S)] Build a three-dimensional map in your mind.
The direction of the entire ventilation duct, the distribution of heat sources on the floors below, and…
That cold, hidden energy fluctuation.
[Unknown target: Intruder (Energy nature: cold and corrosive! Talent strength: unknown! Current status: moving in stealth! Estimated threat level: high!)]The intruder is still here! And…his energy is actually corrosive?
The danger points sensed by spider senses do not only come from external security and lizard people.
And… this guy who’s in the same room (same plumbing system) as them.
Lin Xiao’s heart shuddered.
Now, he must take Peter and Gwen away from this dangerous place.
Moreover, their mutations continue.
The assault on Peter’s senses had eased slightly, but the feeling of power within him was growing.
Gwen’s pain was worse, and the external changes in her body were more obvious. Her talents of strength and agility were solidifying in her.
They both…
Lin Xiao concentrated his mind and scanned the talents of the two people around him again.
[Observable target: Gwen Stacy (in the process of extraordinary transformation! Steady climbing period!)][Talent list: Extraordinary perception/Spider sense (Legendary! S! Solidifying steadily…), Biological power burst (Epic! A! Steady climbing…), Biological agility enhancement (Epic! A! Steady climbing…), Biological gene stability (Epic! A! Source talent, perfectly integrated with external mutations), Vertical climbing (Rare! B!), Micro regeneration (Outstanding! D!), …][Observable target: Peter Parker (in the process of extraordinary transformation! Energy burst period!)][Talent list: Excellent photography skills (E), outstanding theoretical physics (D), rare toughness and perseverance (B), rare biological gene affinity (B), extraordinary perception/spider sense (legendary! S! is being activated at a high speed…), biological power burst (epic! A! is being activated at a high speed…), biological agility enhancement (epic! A! is being activated at a high speed…), vertical climbing (rare! B! is being activated at a high speed…), … (many other related talents are being generated and determined!)]Oh shit!
Their talent list!
Still updating?!
Peter’s [Secret, Unactivated Characteristics]! Under the double stimulation, he actually exploded directly to S-level [Super Sensing/Spider Sense], and A-level strength, agility, B-level climbing and other talents? !
Although the system is marked as ‘ultra-fast activation’, it has not yet been fully solidified.
But the potential is…so scary!
and!
While scanning their talent list, the system gave a new prompt.
[Prompt: It is detected that the extraordinary talent in the target host is undergoing drastic mutation/solidification, and has extremely high genetic/energy compatibility with the host! ][Meets the talent ‘Low Intensity Passive Extraction’ condition! ][When the target host is in close contact, the system has a chance to extract the target host’s already possessed talents of a lower level (E level and below) and that the host does not have at a low intensity! ][This extraction process is passively triggered, consumes very little system energy, and has no side effects on the host and target, but the efficiency is extremely low and cannot be specified. ]…Low-intensity passive extraction? !
Lin Xiao’s eyes widened instantly!
Isn’t this… you can earn talent even if you just lie down and die? !
As long as you get in close contact with these talents that are mutating or have already mutated…
Can the system secretly extract those low-level scraps of talent from them, just like picking up bargains?
Although the efficiency is low, it cannot be specified, and the grade is not high…
But it’s free!
No side effects! No consumption!
Moreover… it can extract talents of E level or even lower…
Peter and Gwen’s talent list includes more than just S and A!
There are also E-level [Excellent Photography Skills], D-level [Outstanding Theoretical Physics], [Outstanding Chemistry Knowledge], [Rare Toughness and Perseverance], [Rare Biological Genetic Affinity], etc.
Although these talents are insignificant compared to S and A.
But for Lin Xiao, they are all useful knowledge or auxiliary talents!
For example, photography skills… although they seem to be of no use, who knows if they will come in handy in a certain mission?
Theoretical physics, chemistry knowledge… these are solid basic subject talents! With these, wouldn’t it be more efficient for him to use his A-level learning ability to learn? !
Toughness and perseverance! B-level talent! Although not as good as combat power, mental attributes are also very important in Marvel!
Biological Genetic Affinity… This B-level talent seems to be related to the premise that Peter can become Spider-Man! Will extracting it be more helpful for his future talent integration?
And… the system said that this is ‘low-intensity passive extraction’ and cannot be specified.
This means that as long as you stay with them, these talents may be quietly extracted by the system!
This is just… such a fucking surprise!
He had originally thought that once their mutations had stabilized, he might find another opportunity to extract Peter’s A-level abilities and Gwen’s B/D-level abilities that he had not yet extracted…
Now it seems that as long as we keep in touch with them…
Those low-level ones can be picked up even when they are lying down?!
Lin Xiao was ecstatic!
“We…have to find a place to hide…” His voice regained some strength.
When Peter and Gwen heard Lin Xiao’s words, although the pain had not stopped, they felt a little relieved.
At least, Lin Xiao didn’t seem to be in as much pain as they were, and he could even think.
“Follow me, slowly.”
Lin Xiao struggled to stand up, his body no longer as stiff and sore as before.
The A-level regeneration ability is indeed terrifying.
He glanced at Gwen, who was still in pain, and Peter, who looked pale.
Must take them away.
And… now that I have them with me, I can also enjoy the hidden benefit of ‘low-intensity passive extraction’?
It really kills two birds with one stone!
Peter helped Gwen up and they supported each other.
Lin Xiao walked in front, using his spider sense to guide the direction.
“This way!”
They moved carefully through the dark, narrow, dusty ventilation duct.
Every step was accompanied by a creaking sound of metal, which was particularly harsh in the silent (compared to the outside) pipe.
Not far below, the security guards roared.
“Damn it! Where did they go?!”
“Quick! Search all vents!”
The roar of the lizardmen became farther and farther away, as if being directed to some other place.
But the energy fluctuations of that cold ‘intruder’ seemed to be… getting closer and closer to them?
Lin Xiao was alert in his heart, but he did not stop.
His goal was clear: to find a place that was hidden enough and safe enough.
It can allow Peter and Gwen to complete the painful transformation process.
And it can also allow him to… rest assured and enjoy this opportunity of ‘earning talent even if you lie dead’…
Invisible feast!
And… after they completed the mutation and their bodies stabilized…
Peter has those epic A-level talents!
What talents are left in Gwen!
Even the S-level and SS-level talents of the Lizardman Connors!
He has every chance…try the extraction again!
The premise is that I can leave Osborn Industries alive tonight…
A treasure trove of talents, and… a death trap!

Chapter 22: Deep in the Pipeline, Hidden Threats! (Old Version)
Chapter 22: Hidden threats deep in the pipeline!
In the narrow and dark ventilation duct.
The air was filled with dust and heat from running machines.
Lin Xiao half bent over, dragging Peter and Gwen forward with difficulty.
The two people’s moans echoed in the pipe.
The pain continues.
“Hiss…Lin Xiao…my legs…” Gwen gritted her teeth.
Her body was twitching violently and her muscles were contracting uncontrollably.
The burning sensation coming from deep within her cells almost made her lose consciousness.
Peter was no better.
Although her appearance doesn’t look as exaggerated as Gwen’s.
But the wild amplification of his senses and the surge in his physical strength made him dizzy and difficult to coordinate.
Every heartbeat is like a war drum, every breath is like a bellows.
Any tiny sound was a deafening noise to him.
“Hold on!”
Lin Xiao growled and clenched his teeth.
His own body is far from being back to its best.
The aftereffects of the forced fusion of multiple top talents, coupled with the overload explosion just now, made his muscles sore and his mind exhausted.
But [Epic Limb Regeneration (A)] is running at high speed.
He could feel his body repairing itself at an astonishing speed.
Every breath seems to inhale new vitality.
And [Super Perception/Spider Sense (S)] becomes their eyes in the darkness.
The forks, obstacles, weak points in the pipeline…are all clearly presented in my mind.
The shouts and footsteps of security personnel below.
The lizardmen’s roars and sounds of destruction receded.
And…that cold energy wave that was getting closer and closer.
[Unknown target: Intruder (Energy nature: cold and corrosive! Status: moving! Threat level: high!)]It’s in the same plumbing system.
It seems…to be approaching in their direction?
Or… just happened to move nearby?
Lin Xiao didn’t dare to gamble.
He must find a place hidden enough as soon as possible for Peter and Gwen to complete their mutation.
It also allows him to…complete the extraction of the remaining talents in Gwen.
[Bio-agility Enhancement (A)]! Extraction progress: 95%!
[Vertical Climbing] (B)! Extraction progress: 80%!
[Micro-regeneration] (D)! Extraction progress: 90%!
Almost there!
As long as he can hold on for a few more seconds, he will be able to get all the talents he can!
“Ding! Detected that the extraordinary talent in the target host [Gwen Stacy] has drastically mutated/solidified…”
“Meets the talent ‘Low Intensity Passive Extraction’ condition!”
“Target talent detected: [Outstanding Chemistry Knowledge] (D)! The host does not have it!”
“Low-intensity passive extraction in progress… Progress 1%… 2%…”
Um?!
Lin Xiao was delighted!
Low-intensity passive extraction triggered!
It turned out to be Gwen’s [Outstanding Chemistry Knowledge]!
Although it is not a combat talent, it is a real knowledge talent!
Combined with his A-level learning ability…it’s like adding wings to a tiger!
The extraction progressed slowly, but I didn’t feel anything.
The real way to “make money while lying down”!
As he moved forward, he checked the information about this talent in his mind.
[Outstanding Chemistry Knowledge (D)]: Excellent understanding and application of chemistry, and the ability to quickly master chemical theories and experimental techniques.
very good!
It seems that as long as he stays close to these mutants, the system will really give him surprises from time to time!
What will be next?
Peter’s [Excellent Photography Skills]? [Excellent Theoretical Physics]? Or Gwen’s [Excellent Analytical Reasoning]?
He thought about it in his mind, but did not dare to relax at all.
The spider-sense alarm sounded again!
Even stronger!
Those aren’t the footsteps of the security down below!
It wasn’t the fading roar of the Lizardman!
But…the pipe ahead!
A wave of cold energy!
Stopped suddenly!
Not far ahead of them!
It… senses itself? !
Or… sensed the mutant energy erupting from Peter and Gwen? !
“Stop!”
Lin Xiao suddenly stopped and shouted in a low voice.
Although Peter and Gwen were in pain, they also heard the solemnity in Lin Xiao’s tone.
They managed to keep their bodies steady and leaned against the inner wall of the pipe.
[Super Perception/Spider Sense (S)] Like a huge radar net, it instantly scans the area ahead.
Deep in the shadow of the pipe ahead.
A vague human silhouette.
It…seemed to be waiting for them.
Still, but emitting a strong aura of danger.
The cold, corrosive energy made the surrounding air seem to stagnate.
Is it security? Not really. Security energy is unified and standardized.
Lizardman? The body type is wrong.
Is it… that intruder? !
(End of Chapter 22)
(I beg for flowers, evaluation tickets, monthly tickets and urging for updates! I need data! I need motivation!!)
(Thank you!)
Chapter 23: Ghosts are coming, the premonition of death! (Old version)
Deep in the dark pipe.
The motionless figure exudes a suffocating sense of oppression.
Not the bestial frenzy of the Lizardmen.
Instead, it was a cold, gloomy, and malicious aura.
Like… a ghost crawling out of a grave.
[Super Sense/Spider Sense (S)] Crazy warning.
Threat Level: Extremely high! Even…higher than the lizard man that just went out of control?
No! Lizardmen are a purely physical threat.
This… is a more conceptual, elusive danger.
Corrosive energy…what is it?
Lin Xiao’s muscles were tense, ready to respond to attacks at any time.
He held Peter and Gwen behind him.
The two men’s groans of pain continued, and it was obvious that no help could be provided.
Now, he must rely on his newfound strength.
A-level strength, agility, regeneration. S-level perception. A-level genetic stability.
Can these talents… cope with the unknown threat before us?
There was dead silence in the pipe.
Just the suppressed gasps of Peter and Gwen.
And…Lin Xiao’s own strong heartbeat.
Boom! Boom! Boom!
He sensed that the figure seemed to have perfect camouflage abilities.
In the darkness of the pipe, blending into the surrounding environment.
If it weren’t for the early warning from his spider-sense… he probably wouldn’t have spotted it at all.
“Who are you?”
A deep, hoarse voice came from the front.
There is no emotion, just like a machine speaking.
With a thick, uncomfortable echo.
It doesn’t sound… human.
“Osborn’s…experiment?”
The voice sounded again, with a hint of… curiosity?
And a strong… desire to hunt!
[Super Perception/Spider Sense (S)] Sound the highest level alarm!
Danger! Deadly danger!
It moves!
No sound at all!
The figure disappeared from the depths of the pipe in an instant like a ghost.
It was too fast! So fast that it even exceeded the capture limit of Lin Xiao’s S-level spider sense? !
Impossible! S-level sensing is predicting the future! It can predict the trajectory of the threat!
Unless… the opponent’s movement is completely unpredictable? Or… it’s not moving its body?!
But…
Distorting space?!
Or…some kind of extra-dimensional??
“Ding! Warning! Unknown spatial energy fluctuations detected!”
“Warning! It’s difficult to determine the nature of the target’s talent! It may involve space, dimension, or conceptual aspects!”
“Estimated talent level: Mythical level (SS)! Horrible level (XXX)!”
The system’s alarm exploded in my mind!
Mythical?! Horror?!
Lin Xiao’s hair stood on end!
He hasn’t recovered from the shock of the SS-level Immortal Core!
Now another one?!
And… this guy! He is in the same narrow tube with them!
There is no room for escape!
That cold, corrosive energy wave instantly appeared behind him!
Too fast!
Lin Xiao didn’t even have time to turn around!
[Super Perception/Spider Sense (S)] Crazy prediction!
But the scene it predicted… was a body being pierced instantly! A soul being torn apart!
It is…the end of death!
There is no escape route at all!
This feeling… is like facing an… incomprehensible, irresistible dimensional attack!
No time to think!
The body reacts instinctively!
A-level [Bio-Power Explosion]! A-level [Bio-Agility Enhancement]! A-level [Limb Regeneration]! A-level [Bio-Gene Stability/Coordinated Evolution]!
All the innate energy is raging in the body!
He suddenly pushed Peter and Gwen behind him against the inner wall of the pipe!
Use your body to stand in front of them!
At the same time…the consciousness is frantically calling out to the system!
what else?!
How else can he deal with this desperate situation? !
His talent!
And the low-level talents that were just extracted… from Peter and Gwen!
[Outstanding Chemistry Knowledge] (D)! [Excellent Photography Skills] (E)! [Outstanding Theoretical Physics] (D)! [Rare Toughness and Perseverance] (B)! [Rare Biological Genetic Affinity] (B)!
These…are useless in front of SS-level?!
But… at this critical moment!
[Epic Biological Genetic Stability/Coordinated Evolution (A)] Talent, suddenly burst out a strange energy pulse!
It seemed to be resisting the cold, corrosive energy behind it!
Not a direct defense.
Is it a kind of… rejection at the genetic level?! Or… is it the fusion of spider and lizard energy in its body that is fighting against this cold energy?!
Three completely different, but all extremely aggressive, extraordinary energies collided violently around Lin Xiao’s body in the narrow tube!
Sizzle——
There was a sound like electric burning in the air.
A disgusting, foul smell suddenly hit me!
That’s… the smell of death!
Lin Xiao felt a sharp pain coming from behind!
Not a physical impact!
More like…some kind of conceptual blow!
His body…is decomposing?!
No! It was the extraordinary genes in the body… fighting against the energy behind him!
The A-level regeneration power is running wildly! Trying to repair the “corrupted” flesh and gene chain!
The S-level spider sense still predicted death! But… the scene of death seemed… slightly offset?
Just a little bit!
Just because the extraordinary genes in his body… are passively resisting? !
“Ding ding! Detected that the host’s talent is under attack from an unknown high dimension/high concept!”
“Epic genetic stability (A) is subject to high-intensity external stimulation!”
“Talent entry is mutating and upgrading again!”
“Talent: [Extraordinary Genetic Stability/Conceptual Adaptation] (Epic Level! A!) [Entry Upgrade]: Extremely inclusive, promotes the coordinated coexistence and mutual evolution of mutation factors in the body! Able to produce a certain degree of adaptive resistance to external high-intensity, high-concept attacks! There is a chance to convert trauma into an advantageous mutation point!”
Genetic stability…at this time…has been upgraded again?!
Concept Adaptation?!
This means… his genetic system, when faced with an incomprehensible and unavoidable ‘conceptual’ attack…
It can actually produce… adaptive resistance? !
It’s like a virus encountering a new immune system?!
Or…low-dimensional life is forced to understand and adapt to the existence of higher dimensions? !
What the hell kind of ability is this?!
This weak “concept adaptation” is not enough to completely resist the terrifying attack!
Lin Xiao felt as if the right side of his body was torn apart!
Flesh, blood, and bones all collapsed in an instant!
A-level regeneration is crazy repairing! But the speed can’t keep up with the speed of decomposition!
“ah–!”
He roared in pain!
Peter and Gwen behind him were pushed deeper into the pipe by him.
They heard Lin Xiao’s screams.
And…that creepy, ghostly whisper.
“Resist…my…power?”
“Interesting…genes…”
The voice was full of cold amusement.
It seems… that he has a little… interest in Lin Xiao’s physical changes?
(End of Chapter 23)
(I beg for flowers, evaluation votes, monthly tickets and urging for updates! I need data! I need motivation!)
Chapter 24: Death Experience! Regeneration Limit Burst! (Old Version)
The right side of the body seemed to be torn apart by an invisible force.
That feeling was not like a knife cutting or a collision.
It is a kind of ‘negation’ at the conceptual level.
It was as if the composition of his body had been “erased” by some powerful will in this dimension and at this moment.
The A-level [Limb Regeneration Ability] worked frantically, trying to rebuild flesh and blood in the erased gap.
But that kind of “erasing” power seems to carry some kind of regular suppression.
This makes the regeneration process extremely difficult.
Flesh and blood were blurred, bones were broken.
Lin Xiao felt like he was thrown into a meat grinder.
But what is even more terrifying is that his consciousness is extremely clear.
[Extraordinary Genetic Stability/Conceptual Adaptation (A)] Talent, forming a weak barrier in the body.
It couldn’t completely block the force, but it prevented Lin Xiao’s body… from collapsing instantly as predicted.
It’s ‘adapting’.
In analyzing this unprecedented attack pattern.
Trying to find a way to cope.
At the same time, this pain and experience… was also fed back to Lin Xiao’s consciousness.
This is… a hell of a course.
The death scene predicted by [Super Perception/Spider Sense (S)] also changed slightly in pain.
It is no longer an instant death ending.
But…it’s the prediction that you will persist in the pain, but will still perish in the end.
Death…delayed?
Just because his talents lie in ‘adaptation’ and ‘resistance’?
The ghost behind him whispered.
It seemed surprised by Lin Xiao’s reaction.
A mortal… can actually resist its power?
Can it also cause gene mutation?
The voice sounded again, with a hint of cold inquiry.
It did not immediately launch a second attack.
Seems to be observing Lin Xiao.
Lin Xiao took advantage of this precious gap.
The A-level regenerative power was repairing itself with difficulty under conceptual damage and regular suppression.
The flesh and blood coagulated again and the bones creaked.
But the speed is very slow.
The right side of the body looks abnormally distorted and terrifying.
He desperately absorbed the life energy in the air, in the pipes…all that could be sensed by his A-level regeneration talent.
Trying to speed up the repair.
The [Epic Biological Genetic Stability/Conceptual Adaptation (A)] in the body is like a high-speed analyzer.
Deconstruct the attack pattern you just suffered.
That kind of force… not energy, not physics.
It’s more like a distortion of the concept.
Or… a rewrite of the rules.
It acts directly on the level at which the target exists.
Trying to erase it from reality.
His talent… can actually allow him to ‘adapt’ when faced with this kind of power?
Even in the most intense pain, the prompt for that undetermined talent entry appeared again.
【? Level adaptive self-healing】(forming, strength depends on the mutation gene level and host stability)
This talent…seems to be absorbing the ‘conceptual trauma’ that has just been suffered?
Trying to turn it into…some kind of advantageous mutation point?!
How is that possible? !
Conceptual impairment…turned into advantage?
Is it to gain resistance to this conceptual attack?
Or…get similar abilities?
Lin Xiao didn’t dare to think about it.
Too far away.
All he has to do now is to survive.
Survive… this terrifying apparition before me.
It is watching.
But this kind of observation itself carries enormous pressure.
The cold, corrosive energy, like invisible tentacles, wrapped around Lin Xiao’s body.
The extraordinary genes in his body continued to send out painful alarms.
[Super Perception/Spider Sense (S)] The predicted death threat has not been eliminated.
The ghost may attack again at any time.
Moreover, its ‘adaptive’ analysis allows it to discover…
The genes in him…seem to be very…special.
It can fuse different sources of mutation and produce…conceptual adaptation?
For an unknown being who specializes in studying ‘genes’ or ‘life’…
It is undoubtedly an attractive ‘sample’.
Or rather…prey.
“Your genes… are valuable…”
The ghost’s hoarse voice sounded again, with a hint of… greed?
at the same time!
Lin Xiao [Super Perception/Spider Sense (S)] suddenly sounded the alarm!
Not an attack!
But…a prediction of energy connection!
That ghost…it’s trying to…
Extract his talent?!
(End of Chapter 24)
Chapter 25: The mantis stalks the cicada! The oriole is behind?! (Old version)
Extract my talent?!
Lin Xiao was horrified!
His [Supernatural Extraction System] is his biggest secret! It is also the basis for him to survive in this damn world!
This ghost… can actually sense the existence of his talent?
Even… can it be extracted?!
How is this possible? !
The system is his golden finger! It came with him when he traveled through time!
Is it that this ghost’s ability is too powerful? Or… the system itself is not inviolable?
[Super Sense/Spider Sense (S)] Crazy Alert!
That cold energy, like a probe, tried to penetrate deep into his consciousness!
The goal… is his talent list? !
Damn it!
Lin Xiao resisted desperately!
Consciousness is like a steel wall, blocking the invading force!
A-level [Epic Learning Ability] comes into play at this moment!
Although it is not a direct spiritual gift.
But his ability to understand and process knowledge and information flow makes his consciousness itself extremely condensed and solid!
It’s like a super computer with a top-notch firewall!
It can sense this pattern of intrusion!
It can also… provide basic defense and counter-attack logic!
However, the talent of [Extraordinary Genetic Stability/Conceptual Adaptation (A)] resists at the genetic level.
It is adaptable to external high-concept intrusions.
Although this ghostly energy is powerful, it also seems to belong to some kind of ‘concept’ category?
The ghost gave a low, annoyed whine.
It didn’t seem to expect that a mortal, a specimen with such “interesting genes”, could resist its ‘extraction’ attempts?
“Foolish…resistance…”
The voice was hoarse and cold.
The probe-like force receded slightly.
But it has not disappeared completely.
It seems to be…changing tack?
Lin Xiao seized the opportunity and gasped.
Regeneration on the right side of the body was difficult.
The confrontation just now made him fully realize the horror of the ghost before him.
Its ability…is not a physical attack, nor is it an energy burst.
Rather, it is a blow that directly affects the concepts and rules level.
Or… is it some kind of higher-dimensional erosion targeting life genes? !
And the system and talent he possesses seem… to some extent, to fall into this category?
So, ghosts were able to sense and try to extract his talent?
And his talent of [Conceptual Adaptation] can also resist the power of ghosts?
This is an unknown predator at the genetic, conceptual, and dimensional levels!
It became interested in Lin Xiao!
Because he can resist! And he has the ability to fuse multiple mutant genes!
In Ghost’s opinion, this is undoubtedly an extremely rare and valuable ‘sample’!
Or… a more perfect… prey? !
It didn’t attack again.
Waiting.
Wait for the changes in his body to completely stabilize?
Waiting for it to find a way to break Lin Xiao’s ‘resistance’?
Or…wait for Peter and Gwen behind Lin Xiao to complete their transformation? !
[Super Perception/Spider Sense (S)] Capture the ghost’s intentions instantly!
Its perception radar is also paying attention to Peter and Gwen!
Their mutated energy is also attractive to ghosts!
It… is treating the three of them… as ‘prey’? !
One pot? !
Lin Xiao glanced behind him and saw Peter and Gwen groaning in pain.
Their mutation continues.
In this state, they have no power to protect themselves.
And the ghosts…are waiting for them to mature?!
Waiting for the extraordinary genes in their bodies to completely solidify? !
Wait until then…it will start the ‘harvest’? !
This is a terrible speculation!
But spider-sense predictions are rarely wrong.
Moreover, the ‘corrosive’ energy of that ghost…
The mutant energy in Peter and Gwen is also highly aggressive!
Will these two forces…
In some ways there is… similarity?!
Just like…like repels like?! Or…like attracts like?!
Lin Xiao’s brain was working rapidly!
【Epic Learning Ability (A)】Integrate information like crazy!
Scattered memories of Marvel in the previous life.
In this life, I have mastered the theories of biology, genetics, and energy through my learning abilities.
And… the concepts, dimensions, corrosion, adaptability… all new information that I just sensed from the ghost and myself!
The ghost’s attack pattern… caused his genetic stability to produce ‘conceptual adaptation’.
It tried to extract the talent… but was resisted by his consciousness and talent.
It showed interest in Peter and Gwen’s mutations…waiting to be ‘harvested’.
All of this… points to a terrible possibility!
This ghost… is it a conceptual creature that feeds on ‘supernatural mutant genes’ or ‘mutated talents’? !
Or… is it a high-dimensional predator that specializes in this area and can “steal” the abilities of others? !
It does not launch deadly attacks on them now.
Not out of kindness.
But…wait for the ‘sample’ to become more perfect? ​​!
Wait for them to complete their mutation, so that their talents can become more mature and easier to ‘extract’? !
Lin Xiao felt a chill in his heart!
This is not just hunting! This is… breeding!
Fatten them up before killing them!
And…it seemed more interested in his genes?
Is it because he has integrated multiple mutant genes? !
Or is it because… he owns the system? !
Can it sense the existence of the system itself? !
This thought made Lin Xiao shudder!
If the system is its target… then it will be useless even if he escapes to the end of the universe!
But the ghost’s perception seemed to be focused only on his talent and the mutated genes in his body.
It does not directly target the system itself.
Maybe… it can only perceive and process the concrete existence of ‘supernatural talent’?
Rather than the system being a… higher-dimensional ‘golden finger’?
I hope so!
Now, he is being targeted by the Ghost, and Peter and Gwen are in danger.
Below is the security surround.
Behind him is the fury of the Lizardmen.
Ahead is the hunt for ghosts.
Attacked from both sides!
The worst part is, the ghost’s abilities are too weird! Hard to deal with!
And it… is waiting for them to complete their mutation!
This is a deadly stalemate!
unless…
Unless this deadlock can be broken!
Let the ghosts no longer feel that they are ‘lambs to be slaughtered’!
Or…let it go ‘hunting’ other targets instead? !
Or…cause a more powerful being…
Let’s deal with the ghosts!
As predicted by [Super Perception/Spider Sense (S)], the footsteps of the security guards below were getting closer and closer.
The roar of the lizardmen still echoed in the distance.
Deep in the ventilation duct…that cold figure stood there motionless.
Like a patient…bird!
Waiting for the mantis to stalk the cicada!
And the mantis and the cicada… are Lin Xiao and the others? !
(End of Chapter 25)
Chapter 26: Borrowing a knife to kill? Target Lizardman! (Old version)
The standoff continues.
Inside the narrow pipe, the air seemed to freeze.
Peter and Gwen’s moans became quieter, but the pain was still there.
Their physical transformation is proceeding slowly and with difficulty.
Lin Xiao endured the discomfort and the regeneration pain on the right side of his body.
He concentrated all his consciousness, trying to obtain more information about the ghost from his spider sense and conceptual adaptation talent.
[Super Sense/Spider Sense (S)]: Sense the target’s energy properties, cold and corrosive, and have an erosive effect on life genes. The movement method is not physical displacement, but more like conceptual distortion or space folding. Sense the target’s consciousness fluctuations: cold, rational, with a strong hunting instinct and interest in “mutated genes”.
[Extraordinary Gene Stability/Concept Adaptation (A)]: Passively analyzing the target’s attack mode (concept erasure), generating weak adaptive resistance. Absorbing the weak penetration of the target’s energy, converting it into “concept resistance” in its own gene system or promoting the formation of the [Adaptive Self-Healing] talent. The spider and lizard genes fused in the body are detected, and there is a “rejection” or “antagonism” reaction to the target’s energy.
This information gave Lin Xiao a preliminary understanding of ghosts.
It is indeed targeting the “mutated genes”.
And…it was interested in his genes because he was a fusion of multiple sources of mutation.
Maybe…it has never seen a carrier that can fuse different mutation systems?
Or… this fusion itself will produce some more “delicious” or more “advanced” genes?
This is a horrible discovery.
This means that the more powerful mutant talents he incorporates, the more attractive he will be to this ghost.
It is a…natural hunter.
And he… is the best specimen in its eyes!
Worse still, it doesn’t seem to be in any rush.
It knew Peter and Gwen were mutating.
It’s waiting.
Wait for them to “mature”.
Lin Xiao couldn’t just sit there and wait for death.
He had to strike that balance.
Let the ghost attack actively, or… divert its attention away.
Lead away?
Leading to whom?
Below are the security guards. They are mere mortals, of no value to the ghosts.
And leading them towards them would only expose one’s position.
Behind…
Lizard people!
[Super Perception/Spider Sense (S)] Prediction: The roar of the lizard man seems to be getting closer?
It was not completely diverted, but only damaged the surrounding area.
The spider sense detected that the violent talents of [Perfect Lizard Physique (S)] and [Limb Regeneration (A)] in the lizard man also produced a kind of… intense “confrontation” against the cold energy emitted by the ghost!
It’s like the spider and lizard genes in Lin Xiao’s body are fighting against ghost energy!
Lizardmen…although violent, their core genes seem to have an instinctive rejection of concept hunters like ghosts?!
This is a bold idea!
Use the Lizardmen!
Lure the Lizardmen!
Let it fight… with the ghost?!
Lizardmen have S-level lizard physique and A-level regeneration! Although they do not have conceptual abilities.
But its physical strength, speed, and endurance… maybe it can cause some trouble to the ghost in this narrow tube?
At least… it can attract the ghost’s attention!
Give Lin Xiao, Peter and Gwen time to escape!
even…
If both the Lizardmen and the Ghosts lose…
Or… in battle, the Ghost reveals its weakness…
Or… it used that conceptual power again when attacking the Lizardmen…
Lin Xiao’s talent of [Extraordinary Genetic Stability/Conceptual Adaptation (A)]…
Can you capture more information?!
Can more in-depth ‘adaptation’ and ‘learning’ be done on the side? !
Can his [Adaptive Self-Healing] talent…become stronger? !
This is an opportunity!
Kill with a borrowed knife!
No! Use monsters to kill monsters!
The goal… is to get the Lizardmen to rush into this pipe!
Let it hit the ghost!
But…how do we get the Lizardmen to come over? !
It chased after them because it sensed the mutation fluctuations in Peter and Gwen!
Now…their mutation is still going on, but not as strong as when it first broke out.
Moreover, they hid in the pipe, and their breath was partially blocked by the metal of the pipe.
The Lizardmen may not be able to accurately locate their location.
Lin Xiao exposed himself!
Revealing that he had a stronger gene than Peter and Gwen… a fusion of multiple mutant genes…
Unique breath!
Let the ghost sense it!
Let the lizardmen sense it too!
It’s like… ringing two bloodthirsty monsters’ hunting bells at the same time!
The risk is huge!
But this is the only way he can think of to break the deadlock at the moment!
Take a gamble!
He bet the ghost wouldn’t launch an unavoidable and fatal attack the moment he was exposed!
Bet the Lizard Man can be lured in and… actually fight the Ghost!
I bet he can take Peter and Gwen and escape in the gap between the two monsters’ fight!
Even…get more talent out of it!
Lin Xiao took a deep breath.
A-level [Epic Learning Ability], frantically simulating possible battle situations in the mind.
The lizardmen charged, bit, and spewed corrosive fluids.
The ghost’s invisible attack, concept erasure, corrosion erosion, and talent extraction.
He needs to find a way between the two.
At the same time…get as close to the battlefield as possible.
To perceive.
Go learn.
Go…extract!
All the talent in him is ready to be unleashed.
A-level regeneration is always ready for damage.
The S-level perception is running at full power, capturing every movement around.
A-level strength, agility, climbing… ready to break through and escape at any time.
A-level genes are stable…ready to deal with unknown shocks and higher-level erosion at any time.
And… that undetermined [Adaptive Self-Healing]…
It’s craving… stronger trauma?!
A higher level conceptual attack?!
Lin Xiao slowly opened a tiny gap in the defense in his mind.
No longer completely blocking the extraordinary genetic energy that is integrated into his body.
Let the unique breath that combines spiders, lizards, and its own stability…
Spread outwards…
Towards the front of the pipe…that cold ghost.
Also towards the back of the pipe…the violent lizard man.
It’s like… between two top predators, sending a signal of defiance.
The hunt…begins.
(End of Chapter 26)
Chapter 27 Genetic resonance, murderous intent erupts! (Old version)
A strange energy fluctuation began to spread in the air.
With a base of mortal genes, it combines the agility and resilience of a spider, the ferocity and regeneration of a lizard, and a completely new and indescribable…conceptual adaptation trait.
This energy fluctuation was particularly dazzling in Osborn Industries, a place filled with various mutations and genetic experiments.
[Super Perception/Spider Sense (S)] Capture the ghost’s reaction instantly.
Deep in the shadows ahead, the still figure… trembled suddenly!
The cold energy around it, like an enraged snake, instantly burst out with a strong wave!
With a cold, greedy… and a hint of… surprise!
“Interesting…it’s actually…a fusion?”
The ghost’s voice sounded again, this time closer.
It was no longer a hoarse echo, but a low, whisper-like murmur.
It…moved!
It didn’t disappear the instant before.
Instead, it slowly, as if the shadow itself was flowing, slid towards Lin Xiao…
Its perception! It completely locked onto him!
Because it sensed a force it had never encountered before… a fusion mutant gene!
What’s even more deadly is that it seems to… sense the… weak “adaptability” emanating from Lin Xiao’s talent of [Superb Genetic Stability/Conceptual Adaptability (A)]!
This adaptability, in its view, is a provocation!
It is also an unprecedented temptation!
“Come on… let me see… your limits…”
The ghost spoke hoarsely.
Deep in the pipe behind you!
Another energy wave also suddenly erupted!
Furious! Wild! Full of anger and murderous intent!
It’s a lizard man!
[Super Perception/Spider Sense (S)] predicted that the Lizardman’s perception radar also captured the special energy emitted by Lin Xiao!
That kind of breath that is fused with lizard genes!
To the Lizardmen in their violent state, this was a provocation!
Is this also a kind of…instinctive sense of “kindness”? !
It let out a deafening roar!
“roar–!!!”
The huge body slammed into the inner wall of the pipe, making a roar!
It wasn’t completely led away! It was just destroying nearby!
Now…it sensed Lin Xiao!
It sensed the “same species” in the pipe… that had merged with its genes! And… that exuded a strange aura!
Rage! Hunting instinct! And… a hint of… curiosity?!
It began to move towards the pipe where Lin Xiao and the others were… at high speed!
It’s coming in!
Ahead is a ghost gliding slowly.
Behind him was a lizardman approaching at high speed, violently ramming into the pipe wall.
Lin Xiao…successfully attracted the attention of two monsters at the same time!
And… they all seemed to have developed a strong interest in Lin Xiao because of the special energy emanating from him!
Is this… a good thing? Or a bad thing?
He pressed Peter and Gwen against the inner wall of the pipe.
“Don’t move! Don’t make any noise!”
Although Peter and Gwen were in pain, they realized the escalating danger when they heard the horrifying noises coming from the front and back, and felt the mutant aura emanating from Lin Xiao, which was stronger than theirs.
They tried desperately to suppress their groans and looked in fear at the darkness in front and behind them.
The ghost glided faster and faster.
The cold energy from it caused the temperature in the pipe to drop sharply.
A pungent smell of corruption hit me in the face.
The lizardmen’s crashing sounds were getting closer.
Every impact caused the pipe to tremble violently.
It seems like it may collapse at any time.
Lin Xiao must make a choice!
Should I continue forward and face the ghost? !
Or retreat and run into the violent lizardmen? !
Or… try to find a side exit and sneak away?!
[Super Perception/Spider Sense (S)] Crazy prediction.
Go forward, face the ghost: Death is predicted, but… the ghost seems to want to capture him alive? Or… want to study his genes up close? The risk is high, but there are unknown opportunities.
Back off and face the Lizardman: Death is predicted. The Lizardman will not hold back in its frenzy, and its physical attacks are lethal. But… it may have an instinctive resistance to ghosts. Maybe there is a chance to take advantage of the contradiction between the two?
Side exit: Spider-sensing shows that there is an access hatch nearby, but it may be connected to an unknown area or blocked by security. And… the ghost is just ahead, and it may block the escape route at any time.
Time is running out.
The ghost is approaching!
That cold energy can be clearly felt.
It was like an invisible knife, pressing against Lin Xiao’s neck.
And behind!
The sound of the lizardmen’s collision was almost right next to my ears!
“boom–!!!”
From behind the pipe, there was a crash louder than any before!
That was… the Lizardman forcing his way into the pipe? !
It’s too big for the pipe! It could damage the pipe structure!
And…it broke through some kind of barrier?!
Security?!
Or…the area it was previously directed to!
Whatever it is! It’s coming in!
A violent roar, accompanied by the sound of metal tearing and deforming, exploded behind the pipe!
It smells!
That alluring…strange…fusion of its genes…
breath!
Just ahead!
The ghost also stopped suddenly.
Its body slowly expanded and contracted in the tube.
Like a…warning posture.
It also sensed the Lizardmen.
Sensing that violent, wild, but also containing powerful mutant genes…
threaten!
Ghosts and Lizardmen!
These two top monsters, in a narrow pipe…
Through their respective perceptions, they locked onto each other!
(End of Chapter 27)
Chapter 28: Monster confrontation, desperate situation for survival! (Old version)
Inside the dark and narrow ventilation duct.
On one side is a cold, eerie ghost that exudes conceptual threats.
On one side are the violent, feral lizardmen full of physical destructive power.
Lin Xiao, along with Peter and Gwen who were struggling in pain, were caught in the middle.
[Super Perception/Spider Sense (S)] was running frantically, clearly feeding back the status of monsters in the front and back to Lin Xiao.
Ghost: Still, with violent energy fluctuations around it, exuding a strong sense of vigilance and inquiry. Its perception radar seems to be analyzing the Lizard Man and… other targets that may exist further away (such as security).
Lizardman: Moving at high speed! Hitting the inner wall of the pipe! The roar is deafening! Its perception radar is completely locked to the front (Lin Xiao and the ghost), exuding a violent hunting desire and a hint of… instinctive “rejection” of the ghost!
That’s right! Rejection!
The ghosts show inquiry and vigilance towards the energy properties of the Lizardmen.
The Lizardmen, on the other hand, showed…instinctive disgust and aggression towards the ghosts’ cold energy!
It’s like… a savage predator encountering a… conceptual presence that it can’t understand, but senses is dangerous.
Its instinct drove it to attack! To tear it apart! To eliminate this threat!
Chance!
This is the opportunity Lin Xiao has been waiting for!
Let these two monsters…dog eat dog!
The prerequisite is… he must first escape from this trapped position!
[Super Perception/Spider Sense (S)] Predicted that the Lizardman moves extremely fast!
Its huge body was forcing its way through the pipe! Wherever it passed, the metal was twisted and deformed!
It will catch up soon!
And the ghost… although its movement was strange, it seemed to be more focused on analyzing the lizard man at the moment and did not attack Lin Xiao immediately.
And…it is closer to Lin Xiao.
But ghosts are a conceptual threat! Hard to deal with!
Lizardmen are a physical threat! Although they are powerful, Lin Xiao has A-level strength and agility, as well as S-level perception!
Theoretically… facing the Lizardmen, he has a weak ability to dodge and resist!
Facing a ghost… is almost instant death!
The choice… is to rush towards the ghost, betting that it will spare you because it is curious and wants to capture you alive? !
Or rush towards the Lizard Man, betting that it will transfer its hatred due to being stimulated by ghost energy? !
or…
Lin Xiao turned his head suddenly and looked at the side wall of the pipe.
The spider sense just detected an… old maintenance hatch nearby.
On the side walls, they are usually ignored and may even have been welded shut.
But…that’s the only direction!
The only thing…is not facing any direction of the monsters!
Although… the spider sense predicts that this exit… seems to lead to… a further down, more central area?
Maybe even… Osborn Industries’ most secret… experimental area?!
That is a real dragon’s den and tiger’s lair!
But…it may be the only way to survive!
And… there might be more… valuable sources of talent hidden there? !
Dr. Connors’ laboratory is on the floor below!
The SS-level [Prototype of Immortal Core] and the S-level [Perfect Form of Lizard Physique] are still waiting for him!
It’s a gamble!
He bets that the chaos of the battle between the security guards and the ghosts and lizardmen will give him a chance to open the passage!
Bet that old inspection hatch isn’t locked shut!
The bet is that after entering that unknown area…he will be able to deal with the more terrible dangers that may exist inside!
“Peter! Gwen! Follow me!”
Lin Xiao no longer hesitated and growled!
He dragged the two of them and rushed towards the old inspection hole on the side wall!
His speed! Under the guidance of A-level agility talent and S-level perception! It’s incredibly fast!
In the narrow pipe, it is like a nimble cheetah!
Peter and Gwen were dragged by him, their bodies moving uncontrollably.
They listened to the roar of the Lizardmen coming closer and closer behind them.
Feeling the cold breath coming from the ghost in front.
And…the amazing power and speed that erupted from Lin Xiao.
Their mutation continued, and the pain slowed their thinking.
But the instinct for survival made them hold on to Lin Xiao tightly and passively follow his actions.
Getting closer and closer to the inspection entrance!
Spider sense prediction!
The ghost seemed to sense Lin Xiao’s intention!
The cold energy around it suddenly shrank!
Like… drawing a bowstring?!
It’s about to attack!
The target…is not the Lizard Man! But…Lin Xiao who is trying to escape?!
It can’t let this interesting ‘fusion’ specimen… just slip away!
But at the moment its energy shrinks!
rear!
The lizard man’s huge head… suddenly poked into the pipe!
It saw it!
I saw the ghost in front of me that exudes a disgusting aura!
I also saw… the prey (Lin Xiao) who carried its genes and tried to escape!
Anger and instinct made it choose the closer threat!
Chose… the ghost that it felt ‘hated’!
With a violent roar!
The lizard man’s huge body suddenly kicked the ground!
It cannot fully expand in the narrow tube.
But the terrifying force instantly caused the pipe wall to twist!
Its claws!
Its tail!
Like two huge war hammers!
Suddenly launched the most brutal and violent attack towards…the ghost in front…!
(End of Chapter 28)
Chapter 29 Monsters fighting each other! Extract during the chaos! (Old version)
In the narrow pipe, an earth-shattering battle broke out instantly!
On one side is the extreme destruction on the physical level!
On one side is the invisible erosion at the conceptual level!
The lizardman’s violent claws tore through the air and slapped the ghost fiercely!
Its tail was like a steel whip, sweeping across with a sound of breaking wind!
These attacks are fatal to mortals!
But the ghost…
It has no substance.
The lizard man’s claws seemed to pierce through its body and hit the inner wall of the pipe!
A loud bang!
The lizardman’s powerful force smashed a dent into the inner wall of the pipe! The metal screamed!
The ghost let out a low hiss.
It seems… that he was surprised by the attack pattern of the Lizard Man? Or… that physical attacks were ineffective against it?
but!
At the moment the Lizardman attacks!
The cold energy from the ghost suddenly exploded!
It did not counter with physical attacks.
Instead, it is the energy that has corrosive and concept-erasing properties!
Like the tide!
Rushed towards…the huge body of the Lizardman!
There was a teeth-grinding corrosion sound in the air!
Lizardman’s scaly skin!
Under the erosion of ghost energy!
Green smoke actually came out!
The scales began to twist and dissolve!
“Hoo-ah!!!”
The lizardman let out an even more shrill scream!
This is not physical pain!
It’s a kind of…pain that comes from the genetic level!
Its fury was interrupted by the pain! Its body suddenly curled up! It tried to shake off the corrosive energy!
Its A-level regeneration ability was working like crazy! Trying to repair the corroded flesh and scales!
But… the energy of ghosts seems to be able to suppress regeneration? !
This erosion… seems to be targeting the mutated genes!
The perfect lizard physique (S) and regeneration ability (A) that the lizardmen are proud of!
Under the conceptual erosion of ghosts!
Actually… was suppressed?!
What kind of a weird ability is this?!
Lin Xiao saw it and was shocked!
The ghost’s ability! Can it restrain mutants so well?!
No wonder it targeted Peter and Gwen!
No wonder it wants to ‘harvest’ their talent!
Its ability… maybe it is the natural enemy of the extraordinary mutant gene? !
Or…some kind of higher-level gene editor? !
It can corrode mutant genes! It can also suppress regeneration!
And it is interested in Lin Xiao… because his genetic system has produced ‘conceptual adaptation’? !
This means that his genes… can actually resist this kind of erosion to a certain extent?!
Or even… ‘learn’ from it?!
This discovery made him feel both despair (ghosts are so scary!) and a glimmer of hope (his talent seemed to be able to fight against ghosts!).
At the moment when the two monsters were fighting!
Distance! It’s so close!
The Lizardman is just ahead of the pipe!
The ghost is there too!
Their energies are colliding and stirring!
Lin Xiao’s [Super Perception/Spider Sense (S)] and [Super Genetic Stability/Conceptual Adaptation (A)]!
Like two super radars, madly absorbing the surrounding energy information!
[Ding! High concentration of extraordinary energy surge detected! ][Target detected: Kurt Connors/Lizardman form! Talent status: In intense confrontation! Energy fluctuations: violent, unstable! ][Talent list: Limb regeneration ability (A! Being suppressed!), Lizard physique perfect form (S! Being suppressed!), Beast instinct and form (B!), Pure violence (D!), …][Meet the talent extraction conditions: Achieved! ][Ding! Target detected: Intruder/Ghost! Talent status: Energy bursting! Energy properties: Cold, corrosive, conceptual! Talent strength: Mythical SS! Horror XXX! ][Talent list: cannot be fully determined! ][Host talent detected: Extraordinary gene stability/concept adaptation (A! Passively absorbing concept energy! Producing adaptability!), adaptive self-healing (? level! Absorbing trauma energy to form!). ][Eligible for talent extraction: Unable to determine, strength is too high! ]Lin Xiao’s eyes widened!
The Lizardman’s talent list, when fighting the ghost, actually became… eligible for extraction?!
Although it is suppressed, the talent level is there!
A-level regeneration! S-level lizard physique!
Now! It’s the perfect time to pick them up!
The ghost has pinned down the lizard man!
The lizard man’s violent struggle also attracted most of the ghost’s attention!
He! Lin Xiao!
You can take advantage of the chaos… to extract it again!
The target this time… is Dr. Connors!
The talent he has!
Especially… S-level [Perfect Lizard Physique Form] and A-level [Limb Regeneration Ability]!
He already has A-level regeneration.
But S-level lizard physique!
That is an all-round enhancement that surpasses the physical fitness of ordinary people! Strength, speed, endurance, self-healing (which is not the same as regeneration)!
And… maybe an instinctive resistance to the conceptual energy of ghosts? !
This talent is a hard indicator for saving lives!
His [Super Gene Stability/Coordinated Evolution (A)] was just upgraded by the concept of ghost!
And gained a slight ‘adaptability’ to conceptual energy and ‘adaptive self-healing’ to trauma!
If I fuse it with the S-level [Perfect Lizard Physique] now…
Both of these may have a talent for ‘resistance’ or ‘adaptability’ to conceptual attacks…
Will there be…an even more terrifying chemical reaction?!
Will it allow his [Gene Stability] talent to be upgraded again? !
Will it make his [Adaptive Self-Healing] talent… even stronger? !
Even… that mythical [Immortal Core Prototype (SS)]…
Although it is impossible to extract it now… but if he obtains the S-level lizard physique… can it increase the chances of extracting SS-level immortality in the future? !
Let’s bet!
This is between two monsters…
The only chance for him to become stronger and escape from this desperate situation!
and…
Gwen and Peter’s mutation continues!
They also need… a strong protector!
A companion… capable of fighting ghosts and even threats from higher dimensions!
This companion…can only be him!
Lin Xiao!
“System! Start sequence extraction!”
“Target: Kurt Connors!”
“Priority: Talent level from high to low! Priority for those who don’t have it! Priority for those who meet the requirements!”
The thought falls!
Lin Xiao struggled to move his body…slightly forward.
Towards…the two monsters that were colliding violently.
Towards… S-level [Perfect Lizard Physique Form]!
(End of Chapter 29)
Chapter 30: The Limit! S-level Talent Fusion! (Old Version)
Roar! Scream! Corrosion! Collision!
The narrow pipe was like purgatory.
The lizard man’s huge body was in great pain due to the erosion of ghost energy!
It waved its claws wildly, trying to disperse the invisible force around it.
Its body twisted, making a teeth-grinding crackling sound.
The scales dissolved, exposing the flesh and blood, and then they were repaired with difficulty under the effect of A-level regeneration.
And the ghost doesn’t seem to be completely unharmed.
Although the Lizardman’s physical attacks cannot hit it.
But the biological energy storm brought about by the lizardman’s violent struggle, as well as the powerful vitality emanating from its S-level lizard physique…
It seems that the ‘conceptual’ existence of ghosts has caused a certain degree of…rejection or disturbance? !
The ghost let out a low hiss, no longer as cold and indifferent as before.
Its energy fluctuations also became somewhat… unstable?
Lin Xiao endured the pain and fatigue in his body.
He crawled on the ground, little by little moving forward…towards the two fighting monsters.
Peter and Gwen’s moans became more painful.
Their bodies changed strangely, as if stimulated by the battle between the monsters.
The energy fluctuations are more intense.
But Lin Xiao didn’t have time to take care of them.
He must take advantage of this opportunity!
[Epic Spider Sense (S)] operates at full power.
Capture every detail of the battle between two monsters.
The frequency of the lizardmen’s attacks, the way the ghost energy erodes, the changes in their respective energy fluctuations…
All this information flooded into Lin Xiao’s mind like a tide.
It was crazily analyzed and deconstructed by his A-level [Epic Learning Ability].
And his [Extraordinary Genetic Stability/Conceptual Adaptation (A)] is like a highly efficient filter.
Passively absorbing the extraordinary energy surging around.
Especially the conceptual energy that ghosts exude.
It’s ‘learning’.
In ‘Adaptation’.
Increasing your own resistance to this energy.
The undetermined [? Level Adaptive Self-Healing] talent also seemed to be absorbing this energy.
It’s growing…
But these are passive.
His current active goal is…
S-level! [Perfect Lizard Physique Form]!
The distance is…close enough!
Lin Xiao felt that he could clearly sense the powerful life force in the lizard man’s body!
That kind of perfect physique that surpasses that of ordinary people in all aspects!
And… the genius genetic theory of Dr. Connors that remains in its body!
And…that instinctive rejection and resistance towards ghosts!
“Priority: Talent level from high to low!”
“Ding! Sequence extraction mode activated!”
“Detecting the target [Kurt Connors/Lizardman Form] meets the host extraction conditions and the highest talent…”
“Legendary! [Perfect Lizard Physique Form] (S! Being suppressed, unstable!)! Extraction begins… Estimated duration of physical contact required: 30 minutes!”
“Epic! [Limb Regeneration Ability] (A! Being suppressed, unstable!)! Estimated duration of physical contact required: 15 minutes!”
“Rare grade! [Beast Instinct and Form] (B!)! Estimated duration of physical contact required: 5 minutes!”
“Outstanding! [Pure Fury] (D!)! Estimated duration of physical contact required: 2 minutes!”
“Talent fusion does not cause severe pain! No risk of rejection! (Because the host has epic gene stability A!)”
Estimated total time:… 52 minutes?!
More than half an hour?!
Lin Xiao’s heart sank!
It’s too long!
Gwen’s talent only takes 24 minutes!
Even though the Lizardman’s talent had been suppressed, it actually took so long?!
S-level talent…is not so easy to obtain after all!
And…Connors and Ghost…can they fight for so long?!
The lizardman’s roar is getting weaker and weaker!
It seems unable to resist the erosion of the ghost concept energy!
Its A-level regenerative ability cannot completely repair this kind of regular damage!
An S-level lizard physique…cannot completely resist this kind of suppression from the conceptual level!
It’s… being disintegrated?!
This is not what Lin Xiao wants to see!
If the Lizardman was killed by the Ghost…
Then where can he extract the SS-level immortal core? !
The lizard man let out a desperate, dying roar!
Its body was struggling violently in the pipe, trying to get rid of the ghost!
But the ghost’s energy, like a maggot on the tarsal bone, entangled it tightly!
And… the ghost seemed to have sensed Lin Xiao’s intention? !
Although it did not attack Lin Xiao directly, a stronger wave of cold energy suddenly burst out!
The target…is not just the Lizardmen!
Also covers…Lin Xiao!
It’s using a range attack!
Try to suppress all potential threats!
Trying to stop Lin Xiao’s ‘stealing’? !
[Super Sense/Spider Sense (S)] screams!
The premonition of death looms again!
That corrosive, concept-erasing energy hits like a tsunami!
Lin Xiao’s body is shaking!
The A-level [Extraordinary Gene Stability/Concept Adaptation] talent that has just been upgraded through concept adaptation, in coordination with the fusion gene (spider and lizard regeneration) in the body!
Like a barely built…conceptual defense tower!
Try to resist this fatal impact!
But…too weak!
A-level adaptability…facing SS-level or XXX-level conceptual attacks!
It’s like an egg hitting a stone!
But…it is ‘learning’! It is ‘adapting’!
They are transforming the huge trauma they have suffered… into their own ‘nutrients’ and ‘experiences’!
Undetermined【? Level Adaptive Self-Healing】talent, under the infusion of massive conceptual trauma energy!
Suddenly…exploded!
It’s no longer undecided!
It has absorbed enough ‘conceptual trauma’ to kill a mortal thousands of times!
It understands the pain of being ‘erased’, ‘corrupted’, and ‘suppressed by rules’!
It completed its brutal growth… on the extreme brink of life and death!
[Ding! Host talent detected: Adaptive self-healing (? level) absorbing massive conceptual trauma energy! ][Talent strength breaks through the critical point! Level determination completed! ][Congratulations to the host for obtaining the talent: Adaptive Self-Healing (Epic! A!)][Talent Characteristics: Able to obtain targeted recovery and growth abilities based on the strength of the fused gene mutation! Has a certain resistance to extraordinary conceptual damage! Has a chance to convert trauma into an advantageous mutation point! ]At the moment of death!
He…got another A-level talent? !
And… it has a certain resistance to ‘supernormal conceptual damage’? !
Even…can it transform trauma into advantageous mutation points?!
In the ghost attack…get stronger abilities?!
This… is simply the best cheat among cheats!
This is the true meaning of…becoming stronger when facing a stronger opponent?!
(End of Chapter 30)
Chapter 31: Epic Self-Healing, Concept Resistance! (Old Version)
Epic [Adaptive Self-Healing (A)] talent!
Grow wildly in the ghost’s conceptual attack that is enough to wipe out all mortals!
It was like a bright light in the darkness, lighting up in Lin Xiao’s body that was about to collapse.
It’s no longer just a repair.
But a… completely new form of life.
Able to understand, absorb, and even transform…conceptual trauma.
The ghosts’ attacks came like a tide.
Cold, corrosive, trying to erase Lin Xiao from the plane of existence.
But his body… was offering a weak resistance.
It’s not just the passive resistance of the A-level [Extraordinary Genetic Stability/Conceptual Adaptation] talent.
There is also a newly acquired A-level [Adaptive Self-Healing] talent.
It actively faced the corrosive energy.
Don’t fight with force.
But in a more bizarre way.
Just like… turning poison into one’s own nourishment.
The corrosive energy penetrated into his flesh, bones, and gene chains.
Trying to disintegrate it.
However, the talent [Adaptive Self-Healing (A)] breaks down and absorbs this energy.
Transformed into…one’s own repair energy.
Translates into… a weak resistance… to this conceptual attack.
This resistance… is very weak.
Not enough to completely resist the ghost’s attack.
Lin Xiao still felt his body was disintegrating.
The right side of the body was still bloody.
But… the rate of decomposition has slowed down!
No longer an instant wipeout!
Instead… in the difficult resistance… it is being eroded… little by little!
He can survive!
He can hold on!
The death outcome predicted by Spider-Sense (S) was rewritten again.
The future is no longer a certainty.
It is a present moment that is full of variables, but still extremely dangerous.
The ghost let out an even more uncertain roar.
It can feel it.
This mortal gene…
In its attack…it didn’t even collapse!
Surprisingly… an even stranger reaction occurred!
An adaptation it couldn’t quite comprehend… A transformation!
What kind of monster is this?!
The look it gave Lin Xiao became even colder.
Explore.
And… a hint of… dangerous murderous intent!
This sample…seems…to be out of its control?!
Maybe… can’t wait any longer?!
Can’t let it… continue to grow?!
The cold energy around the ghost suddenly erupted again!
Trying to increase the erosion!
Kill Lin Xiao in one fell swoop!
And just at this moment!
“Roar! Hiss …
The lizardman behind him seemed to have also noticed the ghost’s intention!
Its groans of pain instantly turned into violent roars!
It cannot completely escape the erosion of ghosts.
But it’s instinct!
Instinctive rejection of ghosts!
Let it burst out with amazing power even at its weakest moment!
With the severe pain of being burned by ghost energy!
It twisted its body desperately!
Try to fight back against the ghosts… in your own way!
It uses its huge head!
Suddenly!
Crashed into the front…the invisible and intangible…ghost!
This is a silent anger!
A pure beast instinct!
It wants to use its most primitive and barbaric way…
Fight this…conceptual threat that causes it pain!
Physical collision!
Crashed into…a conceptual existence!
This sounds absolutely ridiculous.
but…
In the narrow pipe where the energy of two monsters is surging!
This pure, vital, physical collision with the instinct of an S-level lizard’s physique!
It actually…had some kind of effect on the ghost?!
The energy fluctuations of the ghost, at the moment of the savage collision of the lizard man, caused a slight… stagnation? !
Or… disrupted?!
Just like… pure brute force without any frills…
Rushing into the conceptual realm?!
Once in a Lifetime Opportunity!
Both monsters are being suppressed by each other!
They are all distracted by Lin Xiao, this ‘special sample’!
Lin Xiao’s S-level [Super Perception/Spider Sense] issued the craziest warning!
It’s not directed at him!
But…targeting ghosts and lizardmen!
Their energy fluctuates! At their weakest moment!
Their genetic talent! At the most unstable moment!
Meet the extraction conditions!
Now!
Now is the time to take advantage of the chaos… and plunder them!
(End of Chapter 31)
Chapter 32: Crazy Extraction, the Temptation of SS-level Talent! (Old Version)
“Priority: Talent level from high to low! Priority for those who don’t have it!”
“Legendary! [Perfect Lizard Physique Form] (S! Being suppressed, unstable!)! Extraction begins… Estimated duration of physical contact required: 25 minutes!”
“Epic! [Limb Regeneration Ability] (A! Being suppressed, unstable!)! Estimated duration of physical contact required: 12 minutes!”
“Rare grade! [Beast Instinct and Form] (B!)! Estimated duration of physical contact required: 4 minutes!”
“Outstanding! [Pure Fury] (D!)! Estimated duration of physical contact required: 1 minute!”
Estimated total time:… 42 minutes?!
Time has shortened?!
Maybe it’s because the Lizardman is suffering from the suppression and erosion of the ghost, and its talent state is more unstable, making it easier to be extracted?
Or… is it because he has obtained the A-level [Adaptive Self-Healing] and [Conceptual Adaptation] talents, which makes him more compatible with the lizard’s physique? !
Or even… was it the collision of the energies of the ghosts and lizardmen that reduced their innate ‘defense’ or ‘stability’? !
No matter what the reason!
This is his best chance!
And just at the moment he started the sequence extraction!
The ghost let out an even sharper scream!
It seemed to sense it!
This damn specimen… actually took advantage of the gap between it and the lizardman fighting…
Stealing?!
Extracting the talent of its ‘prey’? !
Unforgivable!
The cold energy surrounding the ghost suddenly shrank to the extreme!
It gave up the complete invasion of the Lizardmen!
Concentrate all your strength…
Forming a more condensed, more deadly…conceptual blow!
Target…Lin Xiao!
It must first eliminate this…poacher…who dares to challenge its authority!
[Super Perception/Spider Sense (S)] Issue the craziest warning!
An unprecedented crisis!
The ghost’s attack! Even more terrifying than before!
More concentrated! More… unavoidable!
It has to be at the fastest speed!
Directly…eliminate Lin Xiao from the concept!
Lin Xiao had no time to react!
The body…or rather…existence itself!
I instantly felt the extreme feeling of being ‘denied’ and ‘erased’!
This time!
The epic talents of [Superb Genetic Stability/Conceptual Adaptation (A)] and [Adaptive Self-Healing (A)] are like two guards who are willing to give their all!
They absorbed massive amounts of conceptual traumatic energy from the ghosts!
They understand the nature of being erased!
They are on the brink of life and death!
Exploded… a power beyond A-level!
The conceptual damage they instilled in ghosts!
Transformed into…your own nourishment! Your own experience!
Transformed into… a deeper level of ‘adaptation’ and ‘resistance’ to this force!
Transformed into… an undetermined [? Level] talent…
Growing…crazily!
[Ding! Host talent detected: Adaptive self-healing (Epic Level A) absorbing massive conceptual trauma energy! ][The talent strength has once again exceeded the critical point! Level determination completed! ][Congratulations to the host for obtaining the talent: Adaptive Self-Healing (Legendary! S!)][Talented Characteristics: Able to obtain targeted recovery and growth abilities based on the strength of the fused gene mutation! Highly resistant to extraordinary conceptual damage!

Host talent detected: Extraordinary gene stability/concept adaptation (Epic A) under high-intensity external stimulation! ][The strength of the talent has exceeded the critical point! The entry is mutating and upgrading again! ][Congratulations to the host for his talent: Extraordinary Gene Stability/Dimension Penetration] (Epic! A!) [Entry Upgrade]: Extremely tolerant, promoting the coordinated coexistence and mutual evolution of mutation factors in the body! Able to produce extremely high adaptive resistance to external high-intensity, high-concept attacks! There is a probability of converting trauma into advantageous mutation points! It can even absorb, penetrate and “understand” high-dimensional concept energy!
Legendary! S-level self-healing!
Epic A-level stability! Entry upgrade dimension penetration!
In the deadly blow of ghosts!
His two core talents simultaneously…reached their limits?!
S-level self-healing! Highly resistant to conceptual damage!
A-level stability… able to absorb! Penetrate! Even understand! High-dimensional conceptual energy?!
What…what does this mean?!
Meaning he could… learn from the ghost’s power?!
Does this mean he is immune to the ghost’s power?!
No!
That terrifying attack…still has not been completely blocked!
Lin Xiao felt that the right side of his body… was still disintegrating!
But the speed…slowed down again!
S-level self-healing is crazy repairing! Resisting the obliteration of concepts!
A-level stability… absorbing the power of ghosts!
Trying to break it down…understand…
Transformed into… a part of itself? !
The ghost made an incredible scream!
It doesn’t understand!
A mortal! A specimen!
I was able to… survive its attack…
Continuously…evolving?!
Evolved… resistance to its power? !
Or even…try to comprehend its power?!
This… is outrageous!
The look it gave Lin Xiao was no longer filled with the greed of hunting.
But…extreme coldness.
And… a hint of… fear?!
A…monster who can adapt to it!
A monster that draws power from its attacks!
Absolutely…can’t stay!
The cold energy surrounding the ghost exploded to the limit again!
It abandons all other goals!
Put all your strength…
All poured towards Lin Xiao!
It will use absolute force!
Crush this…mutated threat!
Kill this… incredible monster!
The lizardman behind him let out an even more painful and desperate roar!
It was also affected by the ghost’s area attack!
And…it tried to fight back physically, but was targeted by the ghost instead!
The moment the ghost concentrated all its strength to attack Lin Xiao!
The conceptual erosion of the Lizardmen…suddenly weakened!
This is… the Lizardmen’s chance!
Its beast instinct allowed it to seize this moment!
It no longer tries to physically attack the ghost!
Its huge head shook violently!
Use up every last bit of your strength!
Will that…it senses it!
Incorporated its genes!
And exuding a strange aura…’same species’ (Lin Xiao)!
Towards the side wall of the pipe!
Suddenly…crashed into it!
It wants to… use Lin Xiao!
Knock him out of this damn pipe!
Crash out of this ghost’s ‘hunting ground’!
(End of Chapter 32)
Chapter 33: Crashing out of the pipe and escaping death! (Old version)
Severe pain!
It’s not a conceptual damage!
But it comes from physics…an unreasonable impact!
The lizard man’s huge head hit Lin Xiao!
His epic-level [Bio-Power Burst (A)] and legendary-level [Lizard-Physique Perfect Form (S)] (currently being extracted) gave him physical defense beyond that of ordinary people.
But in front of the Lizardman, the SS-level lizard’s physique’s ‘real body’…
This amount of power…is totally not enough!
Lin Xiao felt as if his body was hit by a locomotive!
The bones screamed and the muscles were torn!
A powerful thrust! His body… along with the terrified Peter and Gwen behind him!
Crashed violently into the side wall of the pipe…!
The ghost let out an angry hiss!
Its prey!
With the last bit of strength of the Lizard Man… he was sent out?!
It doesn’t understand the Lizard Man’s intentions!
Why didn’t it fight back desperately at the critical moment of life and death…
Instead, they threw away that interesting ‘sample’…?!
Is it because of instinctive expulsion?
Or… some kind of induction between homologous genes in lizards? !
The ghost’s conceptual attack that was concentrated to the extreme!
The target is still Lin Xiao!
It tried to take advantage of the moment when Lin Xiao was knocked away!
Completely wipe him out from the concept!
The physical impact of the collision, plus the instant high-speed movement that Lin Xiao passively gained…
Abruptly!
Once again affecting the accuracy of the ghost concept’s attack!
The conceptual ‘erase’… was like the sharpest knife, cutting through Lin Xiao’s body again!
This time it’s the left side!
It’s exactly the same pain as the previous collapse on the right side!
But with the synergy of S-level [Adaptive Self-Healing] and A-level [Extraordinary Genetic Stability/Dimensional Penetration]!
His body was like being injected with the strongest…’concept immunity vaccine’!
Although still in pain and bloody.
But the speed of collapse was greatly slowed down again!
S-level self-healing ability, desperately repairing.
A-level gene stability, madly “learning” and “adapting”, decomposing and transforming the conceptual energy instilled by the ghost!
Undetermined【? Level】talent…
Absorbed another huge wave of conceptual trauma!
It’s still… growing!
The body is under the dual effects of powerful physical impact and conceptual erosion!
It slammed into the old inspection hole on the side wall of the pipe!
Snap! Boom!
The already fragile metal inspection port!
It simply cannot withstand the combined force of the S-level lizard’s body + the SSS-level conceptual attack (the unoffset part) + its own impact!
The entire metal panel along with the surrounding pipe walls!
Boom…collapse!
A hole appeared that was big enough for one person to squeeze through!
Not a smooth entrance.
But it was a gap torn open by violence!
With sharp metal stubble and emitting dust.
Lin Xiao! With Peter and Gwen behind him!
Like a cannonball!
Knocked out of the pipe…!
It was not a gentle fall.
It is a projectile with impact!
They fell heavily… into another darker and more unknown passage!
Behind you, inside the pipe!
There came the angry roar of a ghost!
And the Lizardman roared in pain but with a hint of relief!
Its instinct… made it ‘throw away’ samples that might be of interest to the ghost.
Even though it has its genes…
It must also prioritize dealing with the unmanageable threat at hand!
Outside the passage!
The security personnel fired gunshots again!
They chased to the entrance of the pipeline and saw the broken pipeline wall and the figure falling below!
They saw… a blurry picture of two monsters fighting in a pipe?!
Osborn’s top security! Finally facing the ghost and the lizard man!
This is a new chaotic starting point!
And Lin Xiao and the others!
Falling…Falling…
There was no light in the narrow passage.
There was only the sound of wind caused by falling at high speed.
And…the severe pain caused by the collision of the body with unknown obstacles!
Lin Xiao’s A-level strength and S-level self-healing ability are fully activated! Trying to repair his body in this chaotic fall!
Avoid falling to death!
Peter and Gwen were protected by him below!
Their groans of pain turned into screams of terror again!
Their mutation is still going on! In this extreme environment…will it trigger unknown changes? !
The fall lasted for several seconds.
Then… it fell heavily… onto some cold ground!
“Plop!”
“Gurgle…”
The sound of a crash! The sound of something falling! And… the sound of some kind of liquid flowing? !
It hurts!
Lin Xiao felt like every limb in his body was wailing!
But…the S-level self-healing ability…saved his life!
He didn’t die from the fall! No broken bones!
Although the muscles and internal organs were severely shaken…there were no fatal injuries!
He gasped for air, trying to adjust to the darkness.
[Epic Spider Sense (S)] Instantly develop perception!
This new area…
Dark! Cold!
There was a strong…disgusting smell of chemicals in the air!
And… a faint, familiar smell of… mutant energy? !
Osborn’s…experimental area?!
This… is Dr. Connors’s… lair? !
What’s even more surprising is…
Before he was knocked out of the pipe by the Lizard Man!
The moment of enduring physical impact and conceptual erosion!
His body maintained ‘continuous physical contact’ with Gwen!
It has always been within the ‘extremely close distance’ of Connors, the S-level mutation source (although separated by the pipe wall)!
Sequence extraction…still in progress!
In the fall!
[Outstanding Grade! Pure Violence] (D!)! Extraction Completed!
[Rare Grade! Beast Instinct and Form] (B!)! Extraction Completed!
The only thing left is A-level [Limb Regeneration] (although it is already A-level, the target source talent level is higher or purer, and in theory it can continue to be extracted, fused and optimized!), and the most desired S-level [Lizard Physique]!
Extraction progress…moved a little bit forward again!
(End of Chapter 33)
Chapter 34: Basement, New Crisis! (Old Version)
Fell into an… unknown basement.
It was pitch black, and you couldn’t see your hand in front of you.
A strong smell of chemicals and a sickening stench filled the air.
Beneath him was the cold, hard concrete floor, mixed with broken glass and some unknown liquid.
The gurgling sound is from… the water on the ground?!
Lin Xiao barely managed to stand up, with severe pain spreading throughout his body.
But these were only flesh injuries and internal organ shock caused by physical impact.
Compared to the pain of having the concept erased just now…it’s completely acceptable!
Epic-level [Limb Regeneration (A)] and legendary-level [Adaptive Self-Healing (S)] were operating at high speed, repairing his body.
S-level self-healing ability, in addition to being able to resist conceptual damage, also recovers from physical trauma at an astonishingly fast speed.
The bruises and bloodstains on his body were fading at a speed almost visible to the naked eye.
He didn’t care about himself and immediately felt around Peter and Gwen.
“Peter! Gwen! How are you guys?!”
Peter let out a low groan, which didn’t sound serious, but was still painful.
“I…I…pain all over my body…”
Gwen’s voice was weaker, with a hint of crying.
She was already more mutated than Peter, and the fall in the pipe just now made her condition worse.
Lin Xiao held the two of them together with difficulty.
Their bodies were still twitching erratically.
But Lin Xiao could sense that their life breath was still stable.
The mutation… continues.
The battle between the ghosts and the lizardmen did not seem to have continued here.
There were faint roars and screams from above.
There could have been a fight in the pipes, or Osborn security had engaged them.
Are they safe…for now?
[Super Perception/Spider Sense (S)] Expand all-round perception.
This basement is large and not a single space.
There are multiple forks and compartments.
Filled with all sorts of… disturbing energy signals.
In addition to the remaining mutant energy, there is also… the sound of cold instruments running, and… the slight sound of glassware colliding.
This is definitely…Osborn Industries’ secret experimental area!
And…it’s probably Dr. Connors’…home court!
Are there more sources of talent here?!
Hope instantly ignited in Lin Xiao’s heart!
But it also comes with caution.
What dangers could be lurking here?
More… lizard mutants?
An experimental sample out of control?
He was even the mastermind behind the creation of conceptual creatures like ghosts?!
He has to be careful.
He focused his mind again and scanned the area in more detail.
The darkness could not block his perception.
The room behind the wall, the samples in the freezer, the slices under the microscope…all presented vague images in his perception.
He saw some… dismembered animal bodies and various biological organs floating in formalin.
There are also some…living experimental specimens… imprisoned in reinforced glass containers!
“Roar! Hiss!”
A suppressed, low roar came from the distance!
That was… the roar of a mutant creature!
Sounds like… a bit like… a smaller version of a lizard man?!
Lin Xiao’s whole body tensed up!
Is that a sample trapped in a container?!
Are they other lizard monsters created by Dr. Connors? !
He drags Peter and Gwen behind a wall, hiding them for the time being.
It’s too dangerous here.
Mobility must be restored as soon as possible.
His body recovered quickly, but he was badly injured and experienced two painful fusions and was knocked away by a monster.
The muscles and nervous system are on the verge of overload.
He needs time to rest.
But there doesn’t seem to be enough time.
Although the ghost didn’t catch up, it was able to sense the existence of the ‘mutated gene’…
Will…at some point…
Re-lock Peter and Gwen, and maybe even himself?!
Especially…
He had just integrated the S-level [Lizard Physique] and A-level [Limb Regeneration] (still being extracted)!
These genetic energies…wouldn’t they be sensed by ghosts? !
Damn it! He was too impatient just now!
Still thinking about extracting talents while on the run!
If ghosts can really track…then they will be found again soon!
How does the battle between the Lizardman and the Ghost end?
If the Ghost wins…will it absorb the Lizardman’s power?
Will it get stronger?
Would it be interested in the SS-level [Prototype of Immortal Core] on Connors? !
These are all unknowns!
But they all point to a more terrifying future.
Lin Xiao gritted his teeth.
The most important thing now is to recover quickly and…
Find out what’s going on in this basement!
Especially…is there a hidden exit here?!
The spider sense extended out.
Through the basement walls, passages…
Try to sense areas further away.
The underground structure of Osborne Building…
Hidden elevators, unknown floors, and even…underground…connecting passages?!
Sudden!
The spider sense suddenly sensed a wave of energy!
Not in this basement!
But below!
Deeper!
A powerful and pure…
Space energy?!
(End of Chapter 34)
Chapter 35: Spatial Ability! The True Face of the Ghost?! (Old Version)
Lin Xiao’s heart was shocked!
In the Marvel Universe, there are not many beings who can master the power of space!
Either he is a cosmic-level strongman, or a dimensional lord, or a mutant or alien who is born with space talent!
This spatial energy actually came from… deeper underground of Osborn Industries? !
What could it be?!
A new monster?!
Is he… an Osborne scientist who has mastered space technology? !
Is that the ghost?!
[Super Sense/Spider Sense (S)] instantly captured the fluctuation of this spatial energy…
Although the nature is different, it is similar to the “mobile mode” used by Ghost before, which is similar to space folding and concept distortion…
There seems to be some faint similarity?!
Could it be that… the essence of ghosts is a kind of… conceptual creature that has mastered the power of space? !
Its ability… is to use the power of space to the extreme!
Even…extended to the conceptual level?!
It moves by distorting concepts and attacks by eroding concepts?!
But if true…
Then, this ghost’s ability level…may be even more terrifying than Lin Xiao expected!
Not just SS-level immortality! Not just XXXX-level!
Maybe…it’s a real…concept, dimensional creature!
Is it a top existence that can wrestle with abstract concepts of the universe such as death and annihilation? !
How could a monster of this level appear on Earth?!
How did he appear in the basement of Osborne Industries? !
Osborn Industries itself, or Dr. Connors’ research…
Touching upon… areas that shouldn’t be touched upon?!
Accidentally… woke it up?!
Or… attracted it?!
Lin Xiao’s mood suddenly became extremely heavy.
If that’s the case… no matter how talented he is, in front of that conceptual being…
It’s just a tiny speck of dust.
The only hope…
[Extraordinary Gene Stability/Dimension Penetration (A)] Talent!
The newly added [Dimension Penetration] ability in its entry…
Can it absorb! Penetrate! Even understand! High-dimensional conceptual energy?!
If ghosts are really conceptual/dimensional beings…
His talent…
Does it mean that he has a chance to… understand! Learn! Or even… learn from the power of the ghost…
extract?!
An S-level or even A-level talent can be upgraded from SS-level and XXX-level attacks…
What if it is an A-level [Dimension Penetration] talent, which can directly “absorb and understand” SS-level or even XXX-level space/concept energy? !
This is an idea so bold that it is beyond words!
Like an ant trying to eat the entire planet!
But he has A-level learning ability, S-level perception, and A-level self-healing!
His genetic system…seems to be born with this incredible compatibility and evolvability!
Maybe… there’s a chance?!
Peter and Gwen’s groans rang out again, interrupting Lin Xiao’s thoughts.
They need help.
Besides…the battle between ghosts and lizardmen can’t last forever.
Security forces will take care of them sooner or later.
Or…the winner among them…will catch up here.
He must race against time!
[Epic Spider Sense (S)] once again extended its perception towards the source of that spatial energy.
The target… is on the floor below!
Not in this basement.
But it seems… there is a passage leading there.
Lin Xiao suppressed his fatigue and slowly helped Gwen up.
“Gwen…can you walk?”
Gwen gritted her teeth, the twitching in her body having eased a little.
The pain is still there, but my thinking is a little clearer.
She felt the power surging in her body like a tide, and an unprecedented clear perception of her surroundings.
“I…I don’t know…” she said weakly.
“What… happened to your body?” Peter asked in a trembling voice, his own ears still buzzing.
Lin Xiao didn’t explain.
He half lifted, half held Gwen up.
“Follow me, we have to get out of here.”
Bihei was also helped up by Lin Xiao. He could barely stand, but his whole body was weak and powerless.
His mutation is more focused on the senses, and his physical strength is still accumulating.
Not as direct as Gwen.
He held onto Gwen, and they supported each other.
Lin Xiao walked in front, like a weak but tenacious guide.
Use your spider sense to guide you.
Find the channel leading to the source of energy in that space.
And…is there any other exit here?
The stench and smell of chemicals that permeate here…is it the product of mutation?
Or… the remnants of some experiment?
The spider sense probed around.
Through the analysis of residual energy fluctuations and odors, coupled with the deconstruction of A-level learning abilities.
Lin Xiao sensed the general layout of this basement.
This is a complex laboratory area.
There are many reinforced sample storage areas, biological reactors… and… a large number of instruments and equipment.
In one of the compartments…
Lin Xiao sensed a familiar…powerful life force.
Not quite the savagery of the Lizardmen.
But… it’s the same source!
SS-level [Immortal Core Prototype]? !
It’s here?!
It left the Lizardmen?!
Or… Ghost… After defeating the Lizard Man…
Bringing its ‘core’ here? !
This terrible possibility made Lin Xiao shudder.
He followed the energy of the S-level life and slowly walked towards the compartment.
Peter and Gwen were being pulled by him, stumbling.
Come to the door of that compartment.
There is no door.
Or rather…the door had been destroyed violently.
A dark hole was revealed.
Inside… there is a stronger smell of… death and corruption.
Lin Xiao trembled as he reached inside to sense something.
In a dark room.
A bloody mess.
Is it a dismembered animal carcass?
Something scarier?!
Spider senses caught on the ground…
There is an object that is glowing with a faint golden light.
as well as…
Next to it was a creature covered in green scales but much smaller in size.
Humanoid remains!
What is that? !
S-level [Immortal Core Prototype]…
Is that the golden object?!
And that humanoid stump… is the Lizardman’s true body? !
It… was defeated?!
Even… stripped of its core?!
Who did this?!
Is it a ghost?!
Why does it only take the core?
Is it that it cannot kill the core with SS-level immortality?
Or… it can only devour or control mutant genes and energy, but is powerless against the concept of immortality? !
If so…
Then… that SS-level [Immortal Core Prototype]…
Now… it’s ownerless?!
Lying there…
Waiting…
A person with [Extraordinary Genetic Stability/Dimensional Penetration (A)]…
New owner?!
Lin Xiao’s heart was beating wildly!
An SS-level talent…right before my eyes?!
After experiencing a death crisis, two A-level talents were upgraded, and a new A-level talent was born!
Unexpectedly… there is such a pleasant surprise? !
But he didn’t lose his mind.
Spider-sense detected…in that room…
Besides the lizard remains and the golden object…
besides…
A more powerful, more oppressive force…
Conceptual energy!
ghost…
It’s here!
It didn’t leave!
It is…guarding this Immortal Core? !
Or… is it devouring this processing core? !
Or… just resting here? !
This room! This basement! This Osborne Industries…
It’s too dangerous!
But that SS-level immortal core…
It’s really… too tempting!
(End of Chapter 35)
Chapter 36: SS-level talent, just around the corner! (Old version)
The dark compartment was filled with the smell of blood and death.
The cold air was mixed with a terrifying energy that made one’s heart palpitate.
That is… the ghost’s existence itself.
Lin Xiao left Peter and Gwen outside the cubicle door, hiding in the dark.
“Be quiet…hide.”
He instructed in a low voice.
Although Peter and Gwen were in pain, they could feel the solemnity and extremely suppressed fear in Lin Xiao’s tone.
They nodded, barely controlling their bodies, and huddled in the corner.
Lin Xiao walked slowly towards the dark compartment alone.
Epic [Spider Sense (S)] is like the most sophisticated radar, operating at full power.
Perceive all information in the compartment.
The temperature of the ground, the movement of air, the residual energy fluctuations…
He could even vaguely ‘see’ the presence of ghosts.
It’s not a sight, but a capture of the mind.
That figure… was curled up in a corner of the cubicle.
The cold energy fluctuations around it radiate outwards like a tide.
It… looks like it’s… sleeping?
Or… processing something?
Lin Xiao slowly approached the door.
He could feel that the energy of the ghost in the compartment was… stronger than when it was in the pipe!
But it seems… there is also a hint of… tiredness?
Like… just had a hard ‘feed’?
Its target… is that SS-level Immortal Core?
Can it ‘eat’ immortality?
Lin Xiao wasn’t sure.
But that object that was glowing with a faint golden light…
In his perception, there was a strong…life energy emanating!
Powerful! Pure! Eternal…the breath of life!
SS-level [Immortal Core Prototype]!
Right there!
Just a stone’s throw away!
And that scaly humanoid stump…
That is… the true form of the Lizardman!
The core entity has been lost!
The remaining A-level [Limb Regeneration] and S-level [Lizard Constitution] talents…
It is also gradually…dissipating.
This means… its body… is… dying?!
Who killed the Lizard Man?
Is it a ghost?
Or security?!
The ghost’s ability can suppress and corrupt mutant genes…
It is very likely that it directly killed the Lizardman who had lost his Immortal Core.
Then… took away the Lizardmen’s ‘achievements’… the Immortal Core?
Ghost… is guarding the Immortal Core? !
Or…trying to eat it?!
This terrifying existence’s hunting targets…are extraordinary genes and abilities of various levels!
Even…it’s interested in SS-level immortals?!
It’s a true…conceptual-level gifted hunter!
It grows by devouring extraordinary talents and genes? !
This speculation made Lin Xiao’s scalp tingle!
If this is true… then this universe… this Marvel world…
Filled with extraordinary talents…
In its eyes, it’s just a…huge buffet restaurant?!
Lin Xiao’s [Extraordinary Gene Stability/Dimension Penetration (A)] was running extremely violently in this compartment.
It is like a hungry sponge, madly absorbing the conceptual energy emitted by the ghost.
The A-level [Adaptive Self-Healing] talent… is also eager to… absorb the power of ghosts.
It is learning and understanding quickly.
[Epic Spider Sense (S)] Predicted scene…
Enter the compartment… get close to the core… and you will be killed instantly by the ghost!
Erase directly!
No chance!
This proves that the Ghost is just resting or dealing with the Immortal Core, but is not completely weak!
It still has a keen sense of the environment!
It could sense him!
SS-level immortality…is right before your eyes!
But he had no chance to get close!
Unless… the ghost is in a state where he is completely unable to perceive the outside world?
Unless… there is a stronger being attracting its attention?
Or… was there a moment when I was able to avoid its conceptual blow? !
Or…his own conceptual resistance…becomes stronger? !
Strong enough to withstand the attack of SS-level concept? !
This is too far away!
His current S-level self-healing and A-level stability can only barely resist a little!
What should I do? !
The ghost didn’t seem to notice Peter and Gwen hiding outside the doorway.
Its perception is entirely focused on the interior of the compartment.
Focus on that immortal core?
Lin Xiao’s thoughts raced.
Peter and Gwen’s mutation is still ongoing.
Their mutant energy is still attractive!
It was their presence that caused the Lizardmen to rush into the pipe… and attracted the ghosts!
It’s their mutation… that makes them interesting to ghosts!
But…at close range…they might also attract the ghost’s attention again!
Even the ghost…’harvested’ his talent on the spot!
And… although their moans were suppressed… they could expose their position at any time!
Lin Xiao slowly backed away.
Back to Peter and Gwen.
He must take them…away from here first!
SS-level immortality… He has no chance for now.
But… the remains of Dr. Connors’ body… are still inside!
The remaining…A-level regeneration and S-level lizard physique…
It should also be possible to extract!
Even if there isn’t much remaining energy, the extraction time is very short!
Maybe… the extraction can be done… without alerting the ghost?!
Gambling ghosts are not very sensitive to residual talents!
Bet it’s dealing with an SS-level immortal and has no time to care about a stump!
He hasn’t finished extracting Connors’ other low-level talents!
That B-level beast instinct and D-level pure violence…
Although it’s not very useful…
But… maybe it can be extracted passively? !
Maybe… I can touch upon… the ‘extraction conditions’ of Connors’s original talent? !
This is the only chance!
At very close distance!
In a moment of ghost distraction!
To complete the extraction of Connors’ remaining talents!
(End of Chapter 36)
(Thank you everyone!)“`
Chapter 37: Gifts from the stumps! (Old version)
Lin Xiao carefully pulled Peter and Gwen.
Approach the cubicle door quietly.
Three figures moved like ghosts in the darkness.
Peter and Gwen endured the severe pain and discomfort in their bodies.
They could feel the coldness and oppression in the air.
They had no idea what was in the compartment.
But he could sense extreme danger from Lin Xiao’s tense body and heavy aura.
Arriving at the door of the compartment, Lin Xiao left the two outside the door and hid in the shadow of the wall.
He crawled into the cubicle alone.
Every movement was extremely slow and gentle.
Like a shadow moving.
He even held his breath.
A-level [Epic Learning Ability], S-level [Supernatural Perception/Spider-Sense], A-level [Supernatural Genetic Stability/Dimensional Penetration], S-level [Adaptive Self-Healing]…all talents work together.
Sense every subtle change in the compartment.
The rhythm of ghost energy fluctuations.
The intensity of the breath of life emanating from the SS-level Immortal Core.
The fluctuations of the remaining energy in the lizard’s stump…
And…possible traps or sensing devices.
Inside the compartment, the cold energy field surrounding the ghost enveloped the entire room.
But this energy field also seems to hinder it from sensing subtle movements outside.
It is completely absorbed in its own state.
Getting closer.
Lin Xiao crawled to a position less than one meter away from the lizard’s remains.
He could clearly feel the weak energy emanating from the lizard’s remaining limbs.
It’s still there.
Although it is faint, it is still… the afterglow of the S-level [Perfect Lizard Physique] and A-level [Limb Regeneration Ability]’s true body!
at the same time…
[Extraordinary Genetic Stability/Dimensional Penetration (A)] The talent emits waves of desire.
The remaining energy on the lizard’s limbs, the spider genes and regeneration genes that have already merged into his body… and his own genetic foundation!
It created a strong…’compatibility’ resonance!
This is a signal!
Meaning… even if there is no physical contact, or the physical contact is weak.
With super high compatibility…
He can still try to extract the talent!
Moreover… this lizard stump is the ‘true body’ of the mutant talent!
Compared to Connors, who is still alive and kicking in the pipes…
This ‘dead’ body remnant…
Its talent…will it be easier to ‘peel off’ or ‘extract’? !
This was a bold guess that Lin Xiao suddenly came up with!
Ghost is interested in living beings with potential for mutation.
As for this kind of death remnant…are they not that popular? !
[Ding! Target detected: Kurt Connors/Lizardman remains! Talent status: Death remains, energy is rapidly draining! ][Talent list: Limb regeneration ability (A! Survival!), perfect lizard physique (S! Survival!), beast instinct and form (B! Survival!), pure violence (D! Survival!)…][Qualifications for talent extraction: Achieved! (The main body dies and remains, high energy compatibility)][Extraction requirements: Continuous mind lock on to the target talent! No physical contact required! ]…Mind lock! No physical contact required?!
The bet was right!
When the target is a dead remnant and the host’s energy compatibility is extremely high!
No physical contact required!
Just keep your mind locked on it!
He has S-level perception and A-level learning ability! Mind control!
This condition! It’s perfect!
He can extract it without making any noise!
Moreover…the remaining energy in the lizard’s limbs is rapidly dissipating!
This means extraction must be done in a hurry!
The ghost is sensitive to the ‘bio-mutant energy’ that Connors had when he was alive.
But for this ‘talent of surviving death’…
Don’t you care so much?!
The energy field around it was not directed at him!
It’s just the normal release of oppression!
“Target: Kurt Connors/Lizard Man Remnant!”
The mind instantly locked onto the lizard’s remains!
[Ding! Sequence extraction mode activated! ][Detecting target [Kurt Connors/Lizardman Remains] meets the host extraction conditions and highest talent…][Legendary! [Perfect Lizard Physique Form] (S! Remaining energy is rapidly draining away!)! Extraction begins… Estimated time required for mind lock: 3 minutes! ][Epic! [Limb regeneration ability] (A! Remaining energy is rapidly draining away!)! Estimated time required for mind lock: 2 minutes! ][Rare grade! [Beast Instinct and Form] (B! Remaining energy is rapidly draining!)! Estimated time required for mind lock: 1 minute! ][Outstanding! [Pure Violence] (D! Remaining energy is rapidly draining away!)! Estimated time required to lock the mind: 30 seconds! ]A total of… 6 minutes?!
Even shorter!
It may be because the residual limb has lost energy and its state is extremely unstable, making it more likely to be peeled off!
System prompt! [Talent fusion does not cause severe pain! No risk of rejection! (Because the target body is dead, the remaining energy is mild!)]Very good!
No side effects!
There is no risk of being countered by ghost concept attacks? !
Because… it’s just an ‘energy copy’ of the dead remains? !
Lin Xiao is highly concentrated!
All body consciousness locked onto the lizard’s remains!
It’s like building an invisible bridge!
Madly absorbing the extraordinary talent that was dissipating within the remaining limbs!
A weak flow of energy flows into the body!
This time it’s not a painful forced infusion!
It is a warm integration with a strange vitality!
A-level [Limb Regeneration Ability] (already possessed) seems to be absorbing the same energy… becoming purer? More powerful? !
And the long-desired S-level [Perfect Lizard Physique Form]!
That kind of powerful strength, speed, endurance, and self-healing!
Slowly… merging into him!
Little by little…changing his mortal genes!
【Epic Biological Gene Stability/Dimension Penetration (A)】Talent is greedily absorbing these remaining talents!
It’s… evolving!
Undetermined talent… is also being absorbed!
He could even sense that… his [Adaptive Self-Healing] talent… seemed to be interested in this residual energy?!
They…are all energy sources from ‘trauma’ or ‘incompleteness’? !
He was like a… monster that specialized in devouring all kinds of incomplete and incomplete extraordinary energy bodies to complete itself? !
A terrible guess…but I can’t think about it now!
Every second that passes slower, the energy of the remaining limbs is lost!
Every second he slows down, he gets further away from that S-level talent!
And… who knows when the ghost will wake up?
Who knows what the situation is like with the security and monsters outside?
Timing is everything!
In the darkness, Lin Xiao clenched his teeth and concentrated his whole body to the extreme!
Under the nose of Ghost, the ultimate predator!
He was…quietly…
Plunder its ‘booty’!
(End of Chapter 37)
Chapter 38: Unexpected Sensing, Ghostly Peering! (Old Version)
Quiet, eerily quiet.
Only the cold conceptual energy waves emitted by the ghost echoed in the room.
Lin Xiao’s whole body consciousness was immersed in the extraction of talent.
[Legendary! [Perfect Lizard Physique Form] (S!) Extracting… Progress 50%… 60%… 70%…][Epic! [Limb Regeneration Ability] (A!) Extraction in progress… Progress 80%… 90%…][Rare grade! [Beast Instinct and Form] (B!) Extraction in progress… Progress 95%…][Outstanding Grade! [Pure Rage] (D!) Extracting… Progress 99%…]Time passes by every second.
Although the estimate is 6 minutes.
But in Lin Xiao’s anxious perception, this process seemed unusually long.
The powerful energy of the S-level lizard physique is continuously flowing from the lizard’s remaining limbs into his body.
That feeling is like the best fitness package, directly input into the body.
The bones are trembling slightly and the muscle fibers are rearranging themselves.
A sense of power, speed, and… endurance that comes from the most primitive level of living things!
Condensate in the body!
Moreover… the lizard’s genes contain the ‘instinctive rejection’ and ‘opposition’ to the energy of ghost concepts!
It is also… transferring to him? !
The talent of [Extraordinary Gene Stability/Dimension Penetration (A)] in his body!
It seems to be excitedly absorbing this ‘resistance experience’ from the S-level talent!
It is being [coordinated to evolve] with the S-level lizard physique!
Undetermined talent… is also being devoured.
The S-level self-healing ability helps the body adapt to this new genetic structure.
It itself is also the product of a perfect mutant gene, and has super compatibility and understanding for the fusion of genes of the same level!
This is a completely new direction of evolution!
Not only does it absorb conceptual damage to grow, it can also absorb powerful physical mutation talents…
Come become stronger!
Cultivate both inside and outside!
His talent system is being improved and strengthened at an incredible speed!
Just when the progress of extracting the S-level lizard’s physique is almost completed!
In the corner of the cubicle…
The cold energy surrounding the ghost suddenly…fluctuated!
Not awake!
But it was an…instinctive…reaction? !
What did it… sense?!
Is it the mark it left on the lizard’s stump? !
Or…the energy fluctuations on Lin Xiao’s body!
At the moment of extracting the S-level talent… it is impossible to hide it completely? !
[Super Perception/Spider Sense (S)] suddenly sounded the highest level alarm!
Extremely dangerous!
Ghost…it locked its perception on him!
Locked down this…poacher who was stealing the talents of its ‘prey’!
Although…it’s not completely awake.
But its instinct as a conceptual creature…
At this moment, I realized something was wrong!
Lin Xiao’s body suddenly stiffened!
Have you been discovered?!
No! Can’t stop!
Just a little bit away from extracting S-level lizard physique!
Must…do it in one go!
Even if you only get 99%!
Even if… I am targeted by the ghost’s concept attack!
He has S-level self-healing and A-level genetic stability!
He can resist! He can survive!
Risk your life!
Lin Xiao concentrated all his thoughts and tried his best to bite the lizard’s remaining limbs to death!
The body is as tight as a rock, ready to meet the coming attack!
The cold energy field surrounding the ghost…suddenly shrank!
Condensed into an invisible sharp blade!
Target…Lin Xiao’s core of consciousness!
Its intention…is still to eliminate this threat!
Can it sense it!
The talent that Lin Xiao is extracting? !
The lizard physique is fusing? !
Its power…can it be…counteracted!
Cut off the extracted link?!
Or… pollute! Erase!
This talent is being stolen?!
If this is the case… then all his efforts will be in vain! He may even suffer a backlash!
The energy of a ghost is like the sharpest blade!
Silently!
Instantly cut into Lin Xiao’s body perception range!
That familiar and terrifying feeling of being denied and erased came back again!
The goal is still…conceptual existence!
Lin Xiao’s body! His consciousness! His genes!
It’s not about attacking the lizard’s limbs directly! It’s not about attacking the SS-level immortal core!
Its most core target…is always Lin Xiao himself!
This terrifying threat is capable of stealing the talents of its prey!
In this split second!
The epic A-level talent in Lin Xiao’s body!
S-level [Super Perception/Spider Sense]!
A-level [Epic Learning Ability]!
Grade A [Extraordinary Genetic Stability/Dimensional Penetration]!
S-level [Adaptive Self-Healing]!
A-level [Bio-Power Explosion]!
A-level [Biological Agility Enhancement]!
Level B [Vertical Climbing]!
D-level [micro-regeneration]!
D-level [Pure Violence]!
B-level [Beast Instinct and Form]!
All the talents that have been integrated…explode at the same time!
They seem to sense suppression and threats from a ‘higher level’ and ‘same nature’ (concept, dimension)!
Epic level [Epic Learning Ability (A)], has a preliminary understanding of this ‘concept strike mode’!
Legendary [Spider Sense (S)] can more accurately predict the ‘trajectory’ or ‘weak points’ of conceptual attacks!
The epic [Extraordinary Gene Stability/Dimensional Penetration (A)] is madly absorbing the energy of the ghost! Trying to adapt, understand, and transform! The spider and regeneration genes in its body… are also resisting!
The legendary [Adaptive Self-Healing (S)] uses one’s own understanding of conceptual trauma… to repair it desperately and increase resistance!
And at the moment when all this confrontation happened!
[Legendary! [Perfect Lizard Physique Form] (S!) Extraction Completed! ][Epic! [Limb Regeneration Ability] (A!) Extraction completed! ][Rare grade! [Beast Instinct and Form] (B!) Extraction completed! ][Outstanding Grade! [Pure Rage] (D!) Extraction Completed! ]At the critical moment when the ghost’s fatal blow reaches its limit!
All the talents that can be extracted from Connors’s body remains…
All got!
A huge torrent of information poured into Lin Xiao’s mind!
S-level! Lizard physique!
Surpassing all mortals in all aspects! Strength! Speed! Endurance! Self-healing!
It’s like opening a whole new copy of your body!
The muscles were instantly filled with terrifying strength and toughness! The bones became denser and stronger! The blood flow rate increased dramatically!
The most important thing is… the S-level lizard’s physique contains…
That strong, instinctive, rejection of the energy of the ghost concept!
This repulsive force is like having an extra layer of conceptual armor inside the body!
It is combined with Lin Xiao’s original A-level concept adaptability talent and A-level gene stability talent…
The three are superimposed!
An explosion far surpassed any previous one…
Concept resistance force!
It is like an instantaneous formation that cannot be measured by physics or energy…
‘Conceptual barriers’!
Abruptly…
Standing in front of the ghost’s invisible, fatal blow!
Click!
There was a faint sound of concepts being torn apart in the air!
Like… using the sharpest knife!
Go cut with… another sharper knife?!
The conceptual barrier… is shaking! It is changing shape!
But…it was not penetrated instantly!
It blocks it!
It is the ultimate concentration of ghosts, targeting consciousness and existence…
Abruptly…shifted in direction!
Just an offset!
It still passed through Lin Xiao’s body!
Cold and scary.
But…it’s no longer a complete annihilation as before!
It’s a…
The collision and tearing between concepts!
“Hiss—!!”
The ghost let out a sharp roar that could not be described in words and shook the entire space!
Its attack… was actually… actually blocked by a mortal…
Blocked?!
In a way…that it couldn’t understand?!
The moment it attacks!
It sensed it!
The talent it leaves on the lizard’s stump!
Actually…disappeared completely?!
Stolen by…?!
The mortal who blocked its attack…
Stolen?!
(End of Chapter 38)
Chapter 39: Enrage the ghost, run away! (Old version)
Success!
Before the scythe of death fell, he grabbed all the talents!
Especially the S-level [Perfect Lizard Physique Form]!
It gives him all-round physical qualities far beyond those of ordinary people!
What’s more important is… after it was integrated into his genetic system!
Together with his original A-level [Extraordinary Genetic Stability/Dimensional Penetration] and S-level [Adaptive Self-Healing]!
Formed a temporary…barrier…against conceptual attacks!
This barrier is not enough to completely resist the power of ghosts!
It’s still pierced!
Lin Xiao felt like his body… was being scraped by an invisible high-speed cutting blade!
The flesh on the left side of the body was disintegrating! The internal organs were ruptured! The bones were broken!
But… S-level [Adaptive Self-Healing] and A-level [Limb Regeneration] erupt at the same time!
Repairing the body like crazy!
And the ghost!
Its angry roar shook the entire space!
It’s unbelievable!
Its attack was actually blocked by a “sample” in its eyes? !
Its trophy! Its talent was stolen right in front of it?!
Unreasonable!
It will bring all the anger, suspicion, and a hint of imperceptible fear…
All transformed into… a more powerful and crazier conceptual strike!
It’s no longer a test! It’s no longer a toy!
It is to be…completely obliterated!
Lin Xiao felt a sense of crisis several times stronger than before!
The ghost’s attack… is like a dimension collapsing in an instant!
Cold, deadly, irresistible!
And this time!
That ‘conceptual barrier’ formed by the accumulation of his talents!
Under the powerful pressure, a cry of pain was emitted!
It is like an icy thin shield, trying to block the tsunami!
Lin Xiao could see that his barrier was rapidly collapsing and dissolving!
The instinctive repulsion bestowed by his newly fused S-level [Lizard Physique]!
It reached its limit instantly! It was as if every cell in the body was screaming! It was exploding!
Trying to push that conceptual force… away!
The A-level [Extraordinary Gene Stability/Dimension Penetration] in the body… is running like crazy!
Its ‘dimensional penetration’ ability is fully activated!
Trying to ‘learn’ ‘decompose’ ‘absorb’ the huge conceptual energy injected by the ghost!
It’s in overdrive!
And S-level [Adaptive Self-Healing]… is even more thirsty to the extreme!
A massive amount of conceptual trauma energy is pouring in!
It is happening at an unprecedented rate…
strengthen!
Grow!
Still not enough!
Faced with the blow of this pure concept!
A mortal body… no matter how gifted…
There are limits too!
Lin Xiao felt that his body…the left side of his body…was being wiped away at an accelerated speed!
The speed at which the flesh and blood dissolved was faster than the speed at which it healed itself!
Bones shattered! Organs disintegrated!
Death! It’s so near!
Just when consciousness is about to fall into darkness!
S-level [Super Perception/Spider Sense] talent…issued the final warning!
Not from a ghost!
Not from himself!
But… coming from outside the cubicle door!
In that dark corner…
Two mutating…
Young life!
Their energy fluctuates! At this moment!
Perhaps it was because he sensed that Lin Xiao was in danger of death!
Perhaps it’s because the mutation in the body has reached a certain critical point!
Or maybe… it was because of the energy of the two top monsters in the compartment… the final stimulation!
It broke out!
Peter! Gwen! The mutant energy that has been suppressed in their bodies for too long!
At this moment!
Like a volcanic eruption!
In an instant, an energy burst out that far exceeded any previous moment!
Peter…the energy fluctuation of S-level [Super Perception/Spider Sense]!
Gwen… the energy fluctuations of talents such as A-level [Bio-Power Burst] and A-level [Bio-Agility Enhancement]!
And what they have in common…
That unique vitality that comes from the perfect mutation carrier!
These energies! Outside the cubicle door!
Like two supernovas that suddenly exploded!
Although they have different energy properties, one is more inclined towards sensory perception and the other is more inclined towards physical enhancement.
But they are all… the products of extraordinary mutations!
And this violent energy burst!
Inside the cubicle… attracted a ghost!
Or rather…
Its instinct as a ‘natural hunter’…
Instantly, it transferred its perception from Lin Xiao, the prey who was struggling and resisting…
Turned to the door!
Those two… are purer! They are transforming perfectly! And… their level is extremely high! The energy core has never been touched by it…
Brand new! Top quality! Sample?!
Lin Xiao felt the conceptual power pressing down on him, the power that was causing him to collapse…
Suddenly…changed direction!
It didn’t quite get back!
Still like a blade cutting through cheese… continuing to corrode his body!
But most importantly, deadly power!
Rushing towards the door…with a loud bang!
It’s directed at Peter and Gwen!
It’s better to strike first!
Obliterate! Or ‘harvest’!
Those two are brand new!
Top talent source? !
“Peter! Gwen! Get out of the way!!!”
Lin Xiao let out his final roar!
His S-level [Adaptive Self-Healing] and A-level [Limb Regeneration] are operating at full capacity!
Crazy repairing the collapsed body!
The innate system in the body… is absorbing the massive amount of conceptual energy left behind after the ghost power is deflected!
It’s growing! It’s transforming!
And Lin Xiao himself…
Endure the severe pain and roll back desperately!
Towards the door!
Rushing towards that deadly conceptual energy…
direction!
Don’t seek death!
Instead… take advantage of this opportunity!
The moment the ghost unleashed all his power on Peter and Gwen!
The innate system in his body is still desperately digesting and absorbing the conceptual energy!
He wants to… take advantage of the chaos!
Get out!
With the power absorbed from ghosts!
A talent system with upgrades and mutations!
Get out of this purgatory!
Now the ghost is chasing Peter and Gwen out!
Then…SS-level Immortal Core…
Now…
Is it completely ownerless?!
This is the only… chance to escape!
It is also… the only chance to get the Immortal Core!
Even if I’m covered in bruises!
Even if it hurts to death!
Even if the future is uncertain!
He had to seize this… in exchange for Peter and Gwen’s outburst…
Opportunity that lasts only a few seconds!
(End of Chapter 39)
Chapter 40: A desperate fight! A direct fight for immortality! (Old version)
The blade of death passed by.
The fatal conceptual force twisted towards the compartment door.
“Boom!”
Silent roar, collision of concepts!
The horrifying force of corrosion and obliteration instantly attacked Peter and Gwen who were hiding outside the door!
Peter and Gwen only had time to utter a brief exclamation.
The mutant energy that just exploded in their bodies!
Like two new shields!
On one hand, there is an explosion of S-level potential that is more sensory!
On one hand, it is the manifestation of A-level talent that is biased towards physical strengthening!
Two powerful supernatural energies, driven by instinct and struck by ghosts, are forced to fight against conceptual corrosive forces…
Violent collision!
Hiss!
The ghost let out a roar that was even louder and more furious than before!
It found!
These two newly born ‘samples’!
Their potential… is so powerful? !
Under its blow, they do more than just crumble!
The extraordinary energy in their bodies is actually… passively resisting!
even!
It is more resilient and more active than the previous lizard body!
Their genetic structure… is stronger than the Lizardmen, stronger than any ‘specimen’ it had encountered before…
Everything must be perfect?!
Was it because of the genetic spider that bit them?!
Or…their own…mortal genes? !
This group of mortals from this world… why is their genetic structure…
So special?!
Not pure resistance!
The talents in them were also affected by its concept…
collapse!
Corroded!
But this is the process of collapse!
Buy them some time!
It also brought…a brief obstacle to the ghost!
This fatal moment is Lin Xiao’s only way to survive!
The left side of his body was suffering from indescribable pain of conceptual collapse!
Flesh and blood turned to nothingness, and bones seemed to be weathered!
But S-level [Adaptive Self-Healing] and A-level [Limb Regeneration] are working like crazy!
The endless vitality is like a flood that breaks through the dam!
Explodes inside him!
Try to fill the erased gap with flesh and blood!
His talent system…is greedily absorbing the conceptual energy deflected by the ghost!
That is a condensed ‘concept experience package’!
It is the top fuel to accelerate the growth of [Dimensional Penetration] and [Adaptive Self-Healing]!
But this kind of repair and growth comes with great pain and confusion!
Lin Xiao relied entirely on his survival instinct!
Relying on the powerful endurance granted by the newly fused S-level [Perfect Lizard Physique Form]!
Endure the severe pain!
The body suddenly moved towards the door…
roll!
The bloody left side of the body left a long trail on the ground!
But he didn’t care!
His whole body’s consciousness has only two goals!
Get out of the ghost’s main attack range!
Get… that SS-level Immortal Core!
Most of the Ghost’s conceptual power is poured out on Peter and Gwen!
But part of its perception still locked onto Lin Xiao.
This can block its attack! It can steal the talent of its prey…
Damn threats!
It will have to eliminate these two new samples while ensuring that this threat is completely destroyed!
But the deviation of its deadly force gave Lin Xiao room to survive!
He barely rolled to the floor of the cubicle!
Right next to the lizard stump!
The strong smell of death fills my nose!
Stinky and corrupt!
He supported himself on the ground with his right hand and raised his head with great difficulty!
S-level [Super Perception/Spider Sense] instantly locked!
Between the lizard stumps and the broken ground…
That object emitting dazzling golden light!
It’s like a huge gem that sparkles like a diamond!
It was the size of a fist, but it gave off an aura that made Lin Xiao’s entire genes tremble…
Pure! Powerful! Eternal! The breath of life!
That’s it!
It was not taken away by the ghost! It was not devoured!
It lies there quietly!
It’s like a treasure that you’ve been waiting for a thousand years!
And around it, there is a faint energy halo!
Not the coldness of a ghost.
Rather, it was the regular ‘defense’ that the SS-level concept itself emanated from? !
[Ding! Target detected: Immortal Core Prototype (Concept/High Dimensional Unit! Strength: Mythical SS!)! ][Talent List: Immortal Core Prototype (Mythical SS! With extraordinary conceptuality! Core Status: Complete, Energy Converging!)][Eligible for talent extraction: Unable to determine, level is too high! ]Unable to determine extraction conditions! Level too high!
It’s lying right in front of you!
So close!
S-level [Super Perception/Spider Sense] prediction!
Ghost! Most of its power is still pouring towards the door!
It is destroying those two ‘samples’ with amazing potential!
It takes time! No matter how much potential they have!
The suppression of its fatal blow! The speed of obliteration! It is not instantaneous!
It will take at least a few seconds!
Although its body is here, most of its perception is focused on the door!
It’s an opportunity!
It’s the only one! Grab this chance to get this SS-level Immortal Core!
Lin Xiao didn’t hesitate at all!
Even though his entire body was in severe pain and the left side of his body was bloody, he was still struggling in the cycle of collapse and repair!
The ghost may turn around in the next second!
He stretched out his right hand!
It’s like grasping the only hope in the world!
To that SS-level immortal core emitting brilliant golden light…
Catch it!
His fingers touched the immortal core!
Cold! Smooth!
An indescribably vast life energy!
Just like the Big Bang!
moment!
From within the Immortal Core…
break out!
This energy! It’s pure to the extreme!
Extremely powerful!
It goes beyond biology! It goes beyond mutation!
It is a kind of…higher dimension…
concept!
Immortal concept!
Eternal rules!
This energy rushed into Lin Xiao’s body!
S-level [Perfect Lizard Physique Form], A-level [Epic Limb Regeneration], S-level [Adaptive Self-Healing], A-level [Extraordinary Genetic Stability/Dimension Penetration]…all extraordinary talents resonate in the body at the same time!
They are all being impacted by this higher-level conceptual force!
A-level gene stability/dimensional penetration…crazy desire to absorb! Crazy desire to understand!
S-level adaptive self-healing… Crazy desire to devour this conceptual energy! Eager to strengthen oneself!
S-level lizard physique… it is the pinnacle of biological perfection! It actually emitted a wave of desire! It tried to combine with this pure immortal concept!
But… they are not enough!
This SS-level immortal energy… is too powerful!
So advanced!
Like a vast ocean, trying to break down a narrow river!
Lin Xiao felt as if his body was about to burst!
It’s not the explosion of flesh and blood.
It’s a tearing at the conceptual level!
His mortal existence!
In trying to accommodate the concept of SS-class immortality…
Collapse!
Consciousness…begins to fade.
The soul… is wailing.
The immortal core is in his hands!
Exuding unimaginable power!
It wants to… forcefully merge with his body…?!
He did not give the ‘extract’ command!
But his ‘grabbing’ behavior! His special gift!
His concept of ‘dimensional penetration’ is adapted to ‘genetic stability’…
It’s like a door has been opened for this SS-level conceptual power…?!
Let it…automatically… blend in?!
This is more terrifying than forced extraction of talent!
This is… a fusion of concepts?!
This is an SS-class conceptual entity, attempting to interact with an A-class + S-class organism…
Forced fusion?!
life and death!
Give it a try!
Will he survive…
This SSS-level concept level…Fusion Storm?!
(End of Chapter 40)
(I beg for flowers, evaluation tickets, monthly tickets, reminders, and rewards from all the big guys! Every bit of data is the driving force for the explosion!)
Chapter 41: Immortal Concept, Talent Transformation! (Old Version)
The vast immortal energy, like boiling magma, rampaged in Lin Xiao’s body!
It’s not just a powerful vitality.
It is also a supreme rule!
A pure concept about “existence” and “eternity”!
The body of a mortal, even with A-level and S-level extraordinary talents, is still as fragile as glass under the impact of such SS-level concepts!
Every cell in the body is wailing and decomposing!
The bones did not break, but shattered into nothingness in an instant!
The flesh and blood are not being torn apart, but their existence itself is being erased by a force of rules!
The pain…can’t be described in words.
Beyond physics, beyond energy.
It is a distorted pain that comes from the origin of existence!
His consciousness was teetering on the edge of collapse.
The soul is like a candle in the wind!
A-level [Extraordinary Genetic Stability/Dimensional Penetration] Talent!
S-level [Adaptive Self-Healing] talent!
And the tenacious vitality and instinctive resistance contained in the newly merged S-level [Perfect Form of Lizard Physique]!
Three powerful extraordinary characteristics build a shaky…
Concept buffer layer!
They were passively and activated by SS-level immortal energy…exploding to the extreme!
A-level dimensional infiltration, frantically trying to “penetrate”, “understand” and “absorb” the SS-level immortal concepts!
It is like a giant beast thirsty for knowledge. Even if it is burst by powerful energy, it still absorbs it greedily!
S-level adaptive self-healing, treating this impact from a higher level… as an unprecedented “conceptual trauma”!
It is absorbing like crazy! It is transforming like crazy!
Trying to turn this SS-level immortal concept into its own “nutrients”! Turning it into “resistance” to higher-level attacks!
The tenacious vitality of the S-level lizard physique provides the most basic “existence” support!
The endurance and toughness it bestowed…prevented Lin Xiao’s body from exploding immediately!
Allowing his fragile mortal body… to withstand the impact of SS-level energy… for just a tiny moment!
This moment…is crucial!
SS-level immortal energy is like a cosmic torrent that swallows everything!
But it hit…
It is the one in Lin Xiao’s body… that has integrated countless mutations, can adapt to concepts, can transform trauma, and can penetrate dimensions…
Unknown! And extremely special… talent system!
This system seems to be naturally capable of accommodating and even analyzing concepts such as “incompleteness”, “abnormality”, and even “higher dimensions”!
Immortal energy impact!
Under the forced counterattack of Lin Xiao’s talent system…
It didn’t actually follow the pure ‘forced fusion to explode the target’ mode!
Instead… a strange… ‘assimilation’ occurred? !
Or… ‘interaction’?!
S-level self-healing absorbed immortal energy and strengthened it!
The A-level dimension penetrated and absorbed the immortal energy, I understand!
The S-level lizard physique absorbed the immortal energy and gained a more powerful life form!
Is this… a reversal of predator and prey? !
Or… a more complex symbiosis? !
SSS-level concept storm erupts in the body!
The bones turned into powder, and then grew rapidly! The flesh and blood were wiped away, and then recovered in an instant!
This is an extreme cycle of destruction and rebirth!
In this cycle, the talent in Lin Xiao’s body… is rapidly transforming at an unprecedented speed!
[Ding! Detected that the host’s talent system and the SS-level immortal concept are being integrated in a mandatory, regular, and conceptual manner! ][The system talent list is being refreshed drastically! ][Extraordinary Gene Stability/Dimension Penetration] (Epic! A!) Under the impact of SS-level conceptual energy, a qualitative change occurred! 】

Oh… shit…!
S-level!
Another S-class!
World Wide Compatibility?!
Concept transformation! Eternal self-healing? !
Under the forced fusion of SS-level immortal!
it turns out…
Upgraded to S-level and A-level? !
And just when his talent system exploded and transformed… in a flash!
Outside the cubicle door!
ghost!
It is a conceptual attack condensed to the extreme!
It hit with a bang!
Hit Peter and Gwen!
The hit hits the talent core in their bodies, which is desperately resisting and mutating at a rapid speed!
Those are two S-level and A-level talent shields!
They can barely resist the power of ghosts!
Capable of producing a weak conceptual resistance!
Be able to gain…the most precious…moment of time!
This moment!
Crucial!
The roar of concepts exploded outside the door!
A scream that tears through space!
Peter and Gwen…
Under the concept of ghost…
Will their mutation be interrupted?
Will they be completely wiped out?
Or… like Lin Xiao, under the most extreme pressure…
breakthrough?!
Will their talents be the same as Lin Xiao’s…
Savage! And incredibly…
upgrade?!
This question…
Only time and… Peter and Gwen survive…
Can answer!
And Lin Xiao…
The energy torrent from the new S-level and A-level talents in the body surged wildly!
The old pain and collapse are fading away, and a new sense of power is filling my body!
The SS-level Immortal Core…is still in his hands!
Its powerful conceptual energy and his innate system… reached a strange balance?!
This balance…is not completely integrated.
Rather, it was a confrontation of concepts… where no one could do anything to the other? !
Or… is it a higher level… talent recognition and energy locking? !
The Immortal Core…cannot completely destroy Lin Xiao.
And Lin Xiao’s talent system… is unable to immediately digest the concept of SS-level immortality!
This is a deadlock!
The balance between concepts!
But to mortals…
This is…the coming of the myth!
(End of Chapter 41)
(Thank you everyone! Let’s update 10,000 words! Let the data come more fiercely!)
Chapter 42: Balance, new abilities? (Old version)
The SS-level energy surging in the body is like a sun sleeping in his flesh and blood.
So powerful that it is beyond words.
It didn’t quite integrate.
Instead, an independent conceptual space exuding an eternal atmosphere is constructed within the body.
It is the immortal core.
It is now inside Lin Xiao’s body.
But it does not “belong” to Lin Xiao.
At least, before fully mastering and digesting this SS-level concept, Lin Xiao is only its temporary…
Concept container?!
This feeling… is very strange.
You can clearly feel its power.
And it is impossible to call upon its power at will.
What it brings… is a blowout upgrade of Lin Xiao’s talent system.
It was the birth of those two new S-level and A-level talents.
It is a transformation in which physical fitness once again breaks through the limits of mortals.
But when facing a real enemy…it itself will not fight directly.
At least that’s what it seems like for now.
Level A [Extraordinary Genetic Stability/Universal Compatibility] (Legendary Level! S!): It gives him the ability to transcend dimensions and be perfectly compatible and coordinately evolve with any concept, rule, or high-dimensional energy!
S-level [Adaptive Self-Healing/Conceptual Transformation] (Legendary! S!): Able to recover any damage at super high speed! Including the obliteration of concepts and rules! Transform trauma into the purest energy!
The SS-level immortal core is like a key to a higher level, which connects Lin Xiao’s talent system’s concept defense and survivability…
It reached a whole new level in one breath!
Plus his original A-level talents (strength, agility, dimensional penetration, learning) and S-level talents (spider perception).
His talent sequence at this moment is so powerful that he himself dare not imagine it!
He is already a walking concept.
Able to understand, accommodate, adapt to, and even transform…higher dimensional, more abstract forces.
The bloody mess on the left side of the body was being repaired at a speed that was visible to the naked eye, no! It was like the rules were being rewritten!
S-level [Adaptive Self-Healing/Concept Transformation] operating at full power!
It was madly absorbing the remaining ghost concept energy around it, and absorbing the “concept trauma” caused by the impact of SS-level immortal energy in its body!
Transform these purest pains and shocks into energy to repair flesh and blood!
Transformed into power to strengthen the body’s resistance!
This is the real… immortal self-healing!
The granulation tissue grows at an alarming rate!
The broken bones reconnected with a clicking sound!
Skin is generated quickly!
In just a few seconds, Lin Xiao’s left side of the body almost completely recovered!
Apart from his clothes still soaked with cold sweat and feeling exhausted after the severe pain, he looked unharmed!
This repair speed even exceeded his estimation of A-level limb regeneration!
This is already at the S-level… and it even vaguely touches upon a higher level of self-healing ability!
And…while repairing it!
The talent system in the body popped up a prompt again!
[Ding! The host gene system has been detected to have produced an unknown dimensional genetic evolution through mandatory, regular, and conceptual fusion! ][The talent list is being refreshed drastically! ][Congratulations to the host for obtaining a new talent: unknown characteristics/conceptualized mortal body] (Dimensional level! XXX!)][Talent Characteristics: Unknown]…What the hell?
XXX-rated?!
Dimensional level?!
A brand new talent?!
??Incarnation? !
What the hell is this?!
Lin Xiao didn’t have time to think.
All his senses were instantly attracted by the movement outside the door!
That was… the ghost’s angry roar!
And…Peter and Gwen’s…snorting?!
He turned and looked at the cubicle door!
The light is still dark!
But his S-level [Super Perception/Spider Sense] allowed him to vaguely sense everything that happened at the door!
The ghost figure! Still twisted and elusive!
But most of its conceptual punch…poured out toward the door!
Peter and Gwen!
There they fell!
It seems…it has suffered a heavy blow!
They were not wiped out instantly!
Just like Lin Xiao just now!
At the most critical moment!
The talents in them also exploded!
Their talents… also have some kind of ability to fight against ghost power? !
The ghost let out a panicked cry.
It seemed as if they were surprised that they could resist their attacks?!
Also confused by the energy they burst out…?!
They…were not completely destroyed!
But… they are hurt!
S-level [Super Perception/Spider Sense] predicted!
At the entrance…
The ghost’s perception! Suddenly locked onto Lin Xiao again!
It sensed that… Lin Xiao was not only not dead!
He is still healing at an incredible speed…? !
The energy fluctuations in his body!
After just experiencing the SS-level concept shock!
It actually… became even more terrifying! Even more stable! Even more… incomprehensible? !
One that… devoured the core concept of immortality… and evolved through its own attacks…
A brand new, scarier…monster?!
The ghost was completely furious!
It suddenly turned all its strength!
The target is no longer Peter and Gwen!
But…inside the compartment!
The one who dared to poach! Dare to invade! Dare to evolve under its attack…
Terrible existence!
A fatal conceptual blow!
The invisible sharp blade attacked Lin Xiao again!
this time!
Its target is… the SS-level Immortal Core in his body!
And… the newly born XXX-level…
Conceptualizing the gift of a mortal body? !
(End of Chapter 42)
(I beg for flowers, evaluation tickets, monthly tickets, urging for updates, and rewards from all the big guys! Every bit of data is the driving force for Black Armor to explode!)
Chapter 43: Goal: Immortality! Monsters Hunt Each Other! (Old Version)
The ghost has locked onto the SS-level immortal core!
It also locked onto the newly born XXX-level [Conceptualized Mortal Body] talent!
Its attack…becomes more restrained! More focused!
Like the most precise conceptual scalpel!
Straight to the core of Lin Xiao!
S-level [Adaptive Self-Healing/Concept Transformation] is running at full speed!
It absorbs the conceptual energy instilled by ghosts!
Trying to convert it into resistance to higher blows!
S-level [Extraordinary Genetic Stability/Universal Compatibility]! Newly born S-level talent!
It’s like a black hole that is compatible with any high-dimensional concept!
Trying to achieve “universal compatibility” with the piercing ghost power!
Introduce its attack into your own system!
Turn it into your own nutrients!
SSS-level [Immortal Core Prototype]!
Although Lin Xiao does not have complete control over it.
But the wonderful balance it formed with the S-level and A-level concept defense systems in Lin Xiao’s body made it no longer completely passive.
Immortality! It is a supreme rule in itself!
A concept that cannot be easily erased!
When the ghost’s attack comes!
As the ghost’s ‘prey’ or ‘target’!
It also launched a counterattack of SS-level concept!
It cannot perform physical attacks.
Cannot perform energy strikes.
Its counterattack… is a regular shock!
An anti-conceptual confrontation against the ‘concept hunter’ itself!
The entire basement space… seemed to be frozen in an instant!
The collision of rules and the fight of concepts!
This level of combat is far beyond the comprehension of ordinary people!
Peter and Gwen, although they have extraordinary abilities.
But he could only vaguely feel the strange distortion and terrifying oppression of the surrounding space.
They don’t understand the higher-dimensional battle going on inside Lin Xiao’s body!
The ghost stabs the immortal core!
Under the dual blocking, adaptation, and guidance of S-level [Universal Compatibility] and S-level [Concept Transformation]…
Part of the power was dispersed! Absorbed! Transformed!
But the main force… is still rushing straight to the core!
Like two SS-level beings…
In the cramped basement space…
Fight for…prey!
Or… are they… each other’s prey? !
The Immortal Core exploded and shook the rules! It tried to repel the ghost’s attack!
The ghost’s conceptual scalpel… attempts to dismantle the core concept of immortality!
Lin Xiao’s S-level [Extraordinary Genetic Stability/Universal Compatibility]!
It also extends outwards!
Its ‘world-wide compatibility’ feature is fully enabled!
attempt…
And the ghost…
To achieve conceptual…compatibility! Understanding!
From the ghost body…
‘Read’ talent information? !
This is an unimaginably daring act!
At the critical moment of life and death!
Lin Xiao actually tried to… while resisting the SS-level attack…
On the other hand… extracting the ghost’s talent? !
This ultimate gift of predator…
Existence itself is a talent? !
His “universal compatibility” can understand and be compatible with any high-dimensional energy…
Ghost…as a concept/dimensional creature…its existence itself!
Is it just… a kind of… special… talent? !
[Ding! Host talent detected: Extraordinary gene stability/universal compatibility (Legendary S), special resonance with target ‘Infiltrator/Ghost’! ][Talent ‘Read’ function is enabled! Trying to analyze the target talent structure! ][Target: Infiltrator/Ghost, talent analysis in progress… progress 1%… 2%…]Analyzed!
In the SS-level concept storm!
He actually successfully activated the talent analysis of the ghost’s body? !
This means…
The existence mode of this ghost itself can be understood by Lin Xiao’s “universal compatibility” talent!
It is… a conceptual creature that can be analyzed by the talent system? !
The ghost made an even more incomprehensible…high-frequency hiss!
It feels it!
This mortal…this monster!
In its attack…
Actually trying to… understand it!
Peep it!
Even… just like it hunts other talents…
in turn…
Conduct… talent analysis on it? !
The conceptual energy surrounding the ghost is like a boiling volcano!
Exploding like crazy!
Its attack! Spreads violently!
No longer a pure attack on the Immortal Core!
But… a wide range…
Concept bombing!
Trying to take Lin Xiao! Peter! Gwen! The whole basement!
All threatening and potential “samples”…
Together!
Concept erasure!
The conceptual barrier around Lin Xiao was instantly impacted by this range bombardment!
S-level concept conversion, S-level universal compatibility fully enabled!
Resist, transform, and absorb crazily!
Flesh and blood are annihilated, and then reborn! Bones turn into nothingness, and then reappear!
That is a collision of the concepts of life and death!
And outside the cubicle door!
Peter and Gwen were also bombarded by this sudden concept of range!
Their talents… can they withstand it? !
Their mutation…will it break through the limit again due to this stimulation? !
Completely destroyed by the power of concepts?!
This is a conceptual massacre that is out of control!
Lin Xiao is on the verge of life and death, his consciousness locked onto the ghost!
The analysis progress is slowly advancing!
What he was betting on was the moment when the talent analysis was completed!
Can you get the ability to save your life! The ability to counter the ghost?
Key information!
Or…it’s talent!
Ghost, what kind of monster is this? !
What kind of incredible talent is hidden in it? !
Can make it… in this Marvel Universe…
So… do whatever you want?!
Chapter 43 End
Thank you all! Let’s update the 10,000-word version! Let the data come in even more fiercely!
Chapter 44: Paradigm Shift, analysis completed! (Old version)
Wide-ranging concept bombardment!
The entire basement seemed to be shrouded by an invisible force!
Trying to be disintegrated from the foundation of existence!
Cold! Corrosion! The breath of death!
A painful groan was heard outside the door of the compartment where Peter and Gwen were!
Their talent system is like two tenacious little grasses, trying to take root in the violent storm of concepts!
Peter’s S-level [Superior Perception], A-level [Strength/Agility Burst], B-level [Biological Affinity]…
Gwen’s S-level [Superior Perception], A-level [Strength/Agility Enhancement], A-level [Gene Stability]…
These newfound extraordinary abilities were hit hard by the sudden concept!
Their mutation was interrupted!
But… they are also adapting… like crazy!
Absorbing the conceptual energy emitted by ghosts!
Trying to transform it into… your own resistance?!
Their genes…are also changing rapidly!
Just like Lin Xiao… passively evolving in a desperate situation? !
Does this mean…
The potential of a perfect mutation carrier is far more than just talent itself?
They can explode under the pressure of life and death, and absorb the power of higher dimensions? !
Or… this is simply because they have been “contaminated” and “assimilated” by Lin Xiao, a collection of “universally compatible” talents…
Thus, he possessed… this incredible resistance? !
He himself is in the core area of ​​the concept bombardment!
Pain! Suffering! Annihilation!
The flesh and blood are decomposing, and the genes are collapsing!
But S-level [Adaptive Self-Healing/Concept Transformation] is working like crazy!
Absorb all the ‘traumatic’ energy from ghosts!
Convert this conceptual attack that is powerful enough to kill gods into its own ‘nutrients’!
The bloody left side of his body began to regenerate rapidly again under the terrifying self-healing power!
New flesh and blood, new bones, new…more resilient, more resistant…
Mortal Organization?!
This is his mortal body!
In the impact fusion with the ghost concept, SS-level immortal core concept, and S-level lizard physique concept…
A completely new…’concept of mortals’? !
This sounds outrageous!
But this is the incredible ability granted by S-level [Adaptive Self-Healing/Concept Transformation]!
It can turn trauma… into advantage!
Can turn harm… into strength!
The fatal experience of being ‘struck by a concept’…
Translated into…’resistance to conceptual attacks’!
His body! His resistance to the ghost’s attacks…is increasing little by little!
This made the pressure of the ghost range bombing seem more oppressive to him…
Although deadly, it is no longer a pure crushing victory!
The talent system in his body was madly absorbing the information from the ghost body through the “Dimension Penetration” talent link!
That talent system belongs to ghosts!
That ‘paradigm’ that constitutes the existence of conceptual organisms!
It’s like opening a door to a higher dimension!
He understood!
In this universe, there are dimensions other than matter, energy, soul, and magic!
rule!
A higher dimensional ‘paradigm of existence’!
Ghost is a manifestation of this paradigm…
Its ability is not purely offensive.
It’s a kind of… ‘concept interference’! ‘rule erasure’!
It can interfere with and erase the target’s low-level ‘concept of existence’ and ‘physical rules’!
So its attack… is invisible and hard to defend against!
And its hunting talent…is not really ‘eating’.
Rather…’reconceptualization’!
It can interfere with the mutant’s ‘innate concept’, reshape it, and transform it into its own power!
Just like a programmer modifying low-level code!
And the SS-class immortal concept…
It cannot be interfered with! It cannot be reshaped! It cannot be erased!
Because immortality itself is… a higher level ‘rule code’ in the universe!
This is S-level [Extraordinary Genetic Stability/Universal Compatibility]! Information I understand!
Got it!
Under the extreme state of ghost range bombing and energy fluctuations!
[Ding! Target ‘Infiltrator/Ghost’ talent analysis progress: 100%! ]【Analysis completed! 】
[Target’s core talents detected: Conceptual interference (paradigm level! XXXX!), Dimensional travel (paradigm level! XXXX!)]Paradigm-level?! XXXX-level?!
Higher than the mythical SS? !
And… two core talents? !
Concept interference! Dimensional travel?!
It turns out to be an ability focused on concepts and dimensions!
This is not a living organism, this is… a collection of rules? !
The system did not immediately give a prompt to extract these talents!
[Paradigm-level talent, the host currently has insufficient authority and cannot perform the extraction operation! ][Extraction conditions: Unlocked when the host’s talent system reaches a higher level and can accommodate and analyze ‘paradigm’ level existence! ]Unable to extract!
Insufficient permissions!
After a brief visit to the gates of hell, I risked my own death to analyze the ghost!
The result tells me that I can’t extract?!
Lin Xiao’s heart skipped a beat.
But then, the system popped up a prompt again!
[Ding! Through the talent ‘Extraordinary Genetic Stability/Universal Compatibility (Legendary S)’, the target ‘Infiltrator/Ghost’ body is deeply contacted and analyzed, and the low-level, extended, and strippable talent structure of the target is detected! ][The host’s current authority (possessing innate characteristics such as concept resistance, dimensional penetration, concept transformation, and universal compatibility) allows for low-intensity, risky, fragmented stripping! ][Congratulations to the host for unlocking the new extraction function: ‘Concept Fragment Stripping’ (only for targets with concept characteristics/dimensional correlation talents!)][Do you want to perform the ‘Conceptual Fragment Stripping’ operation on the target ‘Infiltrator/Ghost’? ! (Note: This operation is risky! It may anger the target and cause unpredictable backlash! And the fragment category cannot be specified!)]…Conceptual fragmentation?!
Ghosts also have the “fragment talent” that can be peeled off? !
Although it is impossible to specify… Although there are risks…
But this… is the only way to get talents from ghosts!
It is the only way to… improve one’s concept resistance in a short period of time… and even gain the ability to target concept creatures!
Peter and Gwen are still out there taking the brunt of the bombing! They can’t hold out much longer!
He must become stronger! He must find a way to fight against the ghosts!
No more hesitation!
Lin Xiao! Fight!
(End of Chapter 44)
Chapter 45: Concept fragments peeled off! A life-or-death struggle! (Old version)
Concept fragments are peeled off!
Under the crazy range bombing of ghosts!
Amid the painful groans of Peter and Gwen!
On the edge of life and death!
Lin Xiao! He gambled all the talents he had acquired!
“System! Perform ‘Conceptual Fragment Stripping’ on the target ‘Infiltrator/Ghost’!”
“Please execute immediately! Priority: Highest!”
No confirmation prompt, no waiting for a response.
The moment the thought falls!
Lin Xiao’s S-level [Extraordinary Genetic Stability/Universal Compatibility] and S-level [Adaptive Self-Healing/Concept Transformation]!
Like two crazy black holes!
Actively, extend towards the ghost…!
Not attack! Not resistance!
It is a kind of…conceptual…contact! analysis! swallowing!
This is a much more risky and uncontrollable process than talent extraction…
Law-level plunder? !
It uses the unique gene system formed by Lin Xiao’s immortal core, lizard perfect body, mutant spider and other “incomplete but advanced” concept fragments…
Go understand!
Go sense it!
To ‘peel off’ the ghost’s body, which is also ‘extended and peelable’…
Concept fragments!
Lin Xiao felt as if his consciousness was thrown into boiling asphalt!
Ghost…this paradigm-level XXXX existence!
Its essence! The conceptual energy that permeates its body!
How terrifying?! How huge?!
S-level talent in front of this body…
Still not good enough!
The collision of concepts and the tearing of consciousness!
It was like a mortal’s consciousness trying to forcibly create the prototype of a universe!
The extreme pain made Lin Xiao fall into a semi-comatose state again!
The S-level self-healing in the body is working like crazy! Repairing consciousness and soul!
The disintegrated left side of the body quickly regenerated due to its terrifying recovery ability!
But every growth is accompanied by the backlash of ghost concept power!
Pain! Endless pain!
Ghost…it let out a high-frequency scream that shook the earth!
Stronger, more angry, and more incomprehensible than any other time before!
Its concept bombardment! It instantly shrunk part of the range!
Lock the power… suddenly…!
Lock on to the source of this ‘plundering’ force…
This damn sample!
It actually… after absorbing my own power!
How dare you… turn around… and steal my own concept of existence?!
Unforgivable! Unforgivable!
All the conceptual power that the ghost can mobilize!
Like a tide, it poured into Lin Xiao’s body…!
This is not an attack!
It was an extreme counterattack! Backlash!
Trying to… steal this concept of its power…
Explode! Pollute! Even… the other way around…
Devour! Assimilate!
Lin Xiao’s existence…
Erase! Integrate into itself!
Even more terrifying concept shock!
Directly act on consciousness! Soul! The source of existence!
Lin Xiao felt like he was not resisting an attack!
It is resisting… being swallowed! Being dissolved!
All the extraordinary talents in the body are wailing!
Conceptual barriers are like paper that melts away in an instant! They disintegrate quickly!
S-level [Universal Compatibility] tried to be compatible! Absorb! But the conceptual energy injected… exceeded its endurance limit!
S-level [Concept Transformation] Crazy transformation! But the influx of ‘traumatic’ energy… is ten thousand times faster than its digestion speed!
SS-level [Immortal Core Prototype]…at this moment, it also exploded passively!
Its concept of immortality… tries to stabilize itself! Against the power of ‘erasure’ that is the ghost!
But with the massive influx of conceptual energy!
The SS-level immortal… also let out a low… cry of grief as the rules were suppressed!
Its golden light dimmed a little!
The ghost is so powerful… that it has reached a level that is strong enough to suppress the SS-level?!
Under the extreme backlash!
The system sounds an alarm!
[Ding! The host’s talent system has been detected, absorbing conceptual energy that exceeds the upper limit! ][Core Talent: Extraordinary Genetic Stability/Universal Compatibility (Legendary S), about to enter the overload/collapse state! ][Core Talent: Adaptive Self-Healing/Conceptual Transformation (Legendary S), about to enter the overload/collapse state! ][The host’s mortal body is about to collapse! The talent system is about to disintegrate! 】
[Warning! Extremely high risk of death! Warning! ]I’m dying…
Lin Xiao felt that his consciousness… was thrown into the coldest and darkest place in the universe.
Surrounded by… an endless torrent of concepts.
Twist, corrode, devour…
He couldn’t think.
Unable to struggle.
Only the talents within the body…are wailing.
There is only… that dim SS-level immortal core inside the body.
Everything will belong to…
Ghost’s ‘paradigm’?
Just when consciousness is about to disappear completely!
[Adaptive self-healing/concept transformation (S)] in the body!
After consuming a massive amount of ghost concept energy!
After enduring the terrifying backlash energy impact!
After experiencing unprecedented ‘conceptual nausea’!
It’s like…breaking a certain limit!

Chapter 46 Devouring Paradigm! Reversal of Life and Death! (Old Version)
XXXX level!
Paradigm level [dimensional digestion/concept swallowing]!
This is an existence that surpasses any talent level he has ever known!
It’s not just about power.
It is also a kind of… touching and rewriting the underlying rules of the universe!
In front of it, SS-level immortality is just a collection of rules and concepts.
And the ghost itself, as a paradigm-level XXXX existence…
Its ‘paradigm’!
Can be used by Lin Xiao’s new talent…
Understand! Swallow! Digest?!
The pain in the body, at the moment of the birth of a new talent…
Suddenly it got lighter!
It’s like finding an outlet!
The backlash concept energy from the ghost’s body poured into Lin Xiao’s body!
Being born with the new talent of [Dimension Digestion/Concept Devouring]!
Moments… Capture! Understand!
Then…
Unceremoniously…
Swallowed!
It’s like the hungriest beast encountering the most exquisite feast!
The power of ghosts! It is so huge that it is beyond description!
But Lin Xiao’s new talent seemed like a bottomless black hole!
It’s absorbing like crazy! Digesting!
Transform these violent conceptual energies into power that you can control!
Transformed into the purest…
Lin Xiao’s own…conceptual energy!
It’s not just digesting the ghost’s backlash energy!
It… is establishing a connection through [Extraordinary Genetic Stability/Universal Compatibility (S)]!
Through the characteristics of [Dimension Digestion/Concept Devouring (XXXX)]!
Towards…the ghost’s true body!
Initiated the concept of…
Backlash!
Swallow!
High-frequency screams erupted from all over the ghost!
At this moment, it came to an abrupt stop!
It’s like a beast with its neck strangled!
The body suddenly froze!
The conceptual power that was pressing on Lin Xiao’s body, trying to devour him…
Being possessed by Lin Xiao’s paradigm-level talent…
Suck it in!
And the speed… is so fast that even the ghost has no time to react!
Feel the concept of your own existence…
Being… by an unprecedented force…
Peel off! Disintegrate!
And this power…
A strange feedback with its own energy?!
It’s being…backfired by its own power?!
Its core existence… is being devoured by a monster that is lower than it but is able to ‘devour the concept of dimension’…
Decompose! Digest!
This is impossible!
The ghost let out a desperate and unbelievable…silent roar!
It frantically tries to shrink the conceptual power!
Trying to disconnect all connections with Lin Xiao!
But it’s too late!
Lin Xiao’s talent of [dimensional digestion/concept swallowing]!
After tasting the sweetness!
Like a hungry glutton!
Its ‘digestion’ speed soared instantly!
The conceptual energy that was separated from the ghost’s body was like a flood that broke through a dam!
Through the channel established by universal compatibility, it rushed into Lin Xiao’s body madly!
Incorporate his nascent paradigm-level talent!
[Dimensional digestion/concept devouring (paradigm level! XXXX!)]!
It becomes stronger as it devours!
[Ding! Host’s talent: Dimensional digestion/conceptual devouring (paradigm level XXXX), absorbing a huge amount of conceptual energy, the strength is rapidly increasing! ]The ghost is trembling! It’s shrinking! It’s collapsing!
The cold conceptual energy field that permeates its surroundings is like a melting iceberg!
Shrinking and weakening rapidly!
Its attack… is fading!
The deadly bombardment of concepts that originally pressed towards Peter and Gwen at the cubicle door…
Lost the core energy source!
Rapidly…weakened!
Only a weak, residual corrosive force remains.
Outside the door, Peter and Gwen coughed violently.
And the sound of breathing in big gulps of air!
They… survived?!
At the deadliest moment of ghost concept bombing!
It was eaten back by Lin Xiao! It devoured the conceptual power in reverse!
Causing the attack to fail? !
This reversal of life and death on a conceptual level… came so suddenly!
So… incredible!
Ghost in the cubicle!
Its existence itself is being forcibly “digested” by Lin Xiao!
Its elusive form began to distort and blur…
It is not an active form change.
Being disintegrated!
Being decomposed!
Being swallowed!
This paradigm-level gifted hunter!
After setting his sights on that special mortal specimen!
in turn!
Became this mortal…
The first one…
Paradigm-level prey? !
(End of Chapter 46)
Chapter 47: Stripping! Paradigm-level talent! (Old version)
The ghost struggles silently!
Its roar was completely suppressed by the paradigm-level innate power of [Dimensional Digestion/Concept Devouring] around it.
His body no longer ached.
The body’s powerful [Adaptive Self-Healing/Concept Transformation (S)] is running wildly.
Repairing the conceptual damage and physical collapse caused by the near-death experience.
New flesh and blood, new bones, and even… new… cells that cannot be defined by known biological structures… are being born!
These brand new cells have strange properties after absorbing the power of ghost concepts!
Just like transforming a mortal body… step by step into… a conceptual life? !
But his consciousness! Extremely clear!
He could ‘see’… a ghost in the corner of the cubicle!
That existence composed of cold concepts and invisible rules!
Being driven by a more brutal, direct, and hungry force…
The huge paradigm-level power of the ghost! Like a trickle of water!
No, it’s like the Yangtze River bursting its banks!
A stable channel established through S-level [Extraordinary Gene Stability/Universal Compatibility]!
Rushing into Lin Xiao’s body madly!
It’s cheering! It’s jumping for joy!
It’s growing…rapidly!
The power of the ghost… is being transformed into Lin Xiao’s power!
And this process!
Let Lin Xiao understand the existence of ghosts…
For paradigm-level rules…
There is unprecedented!
Deep…understanding!
He can ‘see’…the structure of the ghost power!
Its concept! Its rules! Its form of existence!
This is not simply energy absorption.
This is… a steal of the rules!
Analysis of the concept!
Dimensional level [?? Mortal body] talent! After absorbing these paradigm-level conceptual energies!
Also carrying out some unknown…concept definition and solidification? !
The ghost is roaring!
Its existence is being stripped away!
Its concept is being dissolved!
But… as a paradigm-level existence!
It has an instinctive counterattack!
It emits even stronger high-frequency vibrations!
Trying to destroy Lin Xiao’s talent system on earth!
Try to interrupt this devouring at the rules level!
It will core energy!
That is the most crucial part of itself… the paradigm-level talent!
Gather together!
Trying to… explode?! Or… escape?!
Lin Xiao sensed it clearly!
The two most powerful conceptual energies are converging on the ghost!
That is its core talent!
Paradigm-level [Conceptual Interference]!
Paradigm-level [Dimensional Travel]!
They are like two miniature regular bombs!
Try to escape before the ghost is devoured…
Burn together!
Or… burst out and escape instantly!
Lin Xiao’s paradigm-level [dimensional digestion/concept swallowing]!
I have a stronger desire for these core talents…!
Not resistance!
Not collapse!
But it is a… more brutal… instinct of ‘understanding’ and ‘absorption’!
Since it can devour the concept of ghost existence!
So!
Why not… include its core talent… as well!
Swallowed?!
[Ding! Detected that the target ‘Infiltrator/Ghost’ is concentrating the core talent paradigm energy! It is about to trigger the rule backlash/forced escape! ][Host Talent: Dimensional Digestion/Concept Devouring (Paradigm Level XXXX), has a strong tendency to ‘devour’ and ‘understand’ this core paradigm energy! ][Do you want to perform the ‘Concept Stripping/Forced Fusion’ operation on the target’s core paradigm talent? ! (Note: This operation is extremely risky! It may cause the target’s mutual destruction rule to explode! Or completely collapse and backfire on the host! But the success rate is significantly higher than fragment stripping!)]…Forced Fusion?!
Swallowed its core talent… and forced fusion?!
This is fucking…
Playing with fire!
Once successful!
That would be paradigm-level conceptual interference and dimensional travel!
It’s the real…control of the rules! Crossing dimensions!
This Marvel Universe…
This multiverse…
He will be allowed to roam freely!
Paradigm-level [Dimensional Digestion/Concept Devouring]! After absorbing a large amount of ghost body energy!
It has grown to new heights!
[Dimensional digestion/conceptual devouring (paradigm level! XXXX! Strength: rising!)]The success probability estimate it gives is… no longer trivial!
Yes… ‘significantly higher than fragmentation’!
This means… there is hope for success?!
A fight for life and death!
Or devour everything! Step into a higher dimension!
Or…with this crazy ghost…the concept collapses! Completely disappear!
There is no other choice!
Lin Xiao’s consciousness burned to the extreme!
“System! Execute concept stripping/forced fusion!”
“Target: ‘Infiltrator/Ghost’! All core paradigm talents!”
“Execute immediately! Priority: Highest!”
Silent command!
The paradigm-level [dimensional digestion/concept swallowing] in Lin Xiao’s body!
It emitted an indescribable sound, like the beginning of the universe (at the conscious level)!
It’s no longer just about devouring!
Instead, it extended…invisible conceptual tentacles!
Like the top concept predator!
Grab it suddenly…where ghosts are gathering!
Paradigm-level [Concept Interference] and [Dimension Travel]!
The screams surrounding the ghost… reached the highest frequency it could reach in its existence!
Like the scream of the universe itself!
Its core conceptual energy is like two exploding stars!
Trying to self-destruct! Trying to explode! Trying to escape!
But the tentacles of Lin Xiao’s paradigm-level talent extended…
Faster! More accurate!
It pierced directly into the core of the ghost paradigm energy!
Hardly!
Caught!
Grasp those two supreme rules!
Grasp those two…the basic concepts that constitute paradigm-level existence!
Chapter 48: Paradigm in hand, a new journey! (Old version)
These two supreme conceptual forces were captured by Lin Xiao’s paradigm-level [Dimension Digestion/Concept Devouring] at that moment!
It was like two rule bombs about to explode, causing violent shock!
Trying to break free! Trying to disintegrate! Trying to devour the Devourer!
But Lin Xiao’s paradigm-level talent…
It’s so hungry! So wild!
It is a miracle born out of extreme pain and near-death despair!
Its characteristic…is to digest everything! Devour everything!
No matter how high your rules are, how abstract your concepts are, or how far your dimensions are.
All…become my strength!
It emits higher frequency conceptual vibrations!
Like an invisible chain!
Tightly! Entangling the Ghost’s two paradigm-level… talent cores!
Under the guidance of the paradigm-level [Dimension Digestion/Concept Devouring] talent!
It started… the horrifying… concept swallowing and stripping!
This is a paradigm-level talent against a talent of the same level…
Total looting!
The ghost let out an even louder and more desperate silent roar!
Its body is collapsing, dissolving, and disappearing quickly!
But its innate core! The most fundamental rule of its paradigm-level existence!
It was… stripped off?!
Its resistance… becomes so powerless under the paradigm-level engulfment!
Concepts are disintegrating! Rules are peeling off! Existence is annihilating!
This is a power it cannot understand!
This was an ending it never thought it would encounter!
And Lin Xiao!
The power of two paradigm-level talents poured into the body!
[Paradigm level! [Conceptual interference] (XXXX!) Extraction in progress… Progress 1%… 2%…][Paradigm level! [Dimensional shuttle] (XXXX!) Extracting… Progress 1%… 2%…]That power is indescribable! It far exceeds the power of any S-level and A-level talents he currently has…
Like the Big Bang, it rushes into the body instantly!
The SSS-level [Immortal Core Prototype] was impacted by this force!
It also burst out the brilliance of rules! Trying to resist! Trying to stabilize!
But its rule level… in front of paradigm-level talent…
It’s only… SS grade!
Paradigm class…surpassing SS class!
It seems to be pushed by this paradigm-level torrent…
Towards Lin Xiao’s body…deep inside…
Fast Fusion?!
This is a brand new process!
Immortal… It was actually under the impact of paradigm-level power…
Passively…accelerate fusion? !
Lin Xiao’s original S-level and A-level talent system…
They are all absorbing the energy overflowing from paradigm-level talents!
Epic! Legendary!
These are already the pinnacle of power in the eyes of mortals…
At this moment… everything is changing rapidly! Rapidly strengthening!
The flesh and blood body… is moving towards… at an incredible speed…
Conceptual transformation of existence? !
This feeling…is both painful and wonderful!
Pain comes from the body being forced to accommodate forces beyond imagination.
The beauty comes from… He is rapidly…
Transformation towards a higher dimensional existence!
Conceptual interference… Dimensional travel…
These paradigm-level talents… contain the highest rules!
That is the power to control existence! The power to control the dimension of space!
Lin Xiao felt that his consciousness was expanding rapidly as he absorbed these talents!
He saw…the texture of space!
He saw…the boundaries of existence!
He saw…the way concepts are made up!
This is something beyond mortal cognition…
High dimensional knowledge!
Providing this knowledge…
He is being devoured…
The ghost’s true form!
The ghost’s body is collapsing! Disintegrating! Disappearing!
Paradigm-level [Dimensional Digestion/Concept Devouring]! It is making a joyful ‘neighing’!
It devours more than just talent!
It is also… the paradigm-level…concept of existence of the ghost itself!
The whole ghost… bit by bit…
Decompose! Absorb! Use it for your own benefit!
And when the ghost is devoured, it targets Peter and Gwen with a conceptual bombardment…
Also lost the core power!
Quickly… disintegrated!
Only a faint, residual corrosive force remains.
Peter and Gwen’s breathing could be heard outside the door.
And… a voice full of doubt and shock, but with the feeling of surviving a disaster.
“Lin Xiao? How…are you?” Peter shouted in a trembling voice.
What did they just go through?
That feeling of oppression that suddenly fades away at the moment of death…
They don’t understand.
But they knew…the danger…seemed to be over?
Is it Lin Xiao?
What did he do in the cubicle?
Lin Xiao did not answer.
He was completely immersed in…devouring and integrating the ghost paradigm-level talent!
This is an unprecedented opportunity!
He can’t miss any moment!
The conceptual energy field around the ghost was shrinking rapidly.
Its body…is getting weaker and weaker!
Like a… extinguished ghost!
It was still resisting! But it was just instinctively resisting being swallowed!
That conceptual energy that backfired against Lin Xiao!
It has become the main food of Lin Xiao’s paradigm-level talent!
The entire ghost… is being digested… at an accelerated rate!
[Dimensional digestion/conceptual devouring (paradigm level! XXXX! Intensity: rapidly rising!)][Conceptual interference (paradigm level! XXXX!) absorbing… progress 90%… 95%…][Dimensional shuttle (paradigm level! XXXX!) absorbing… progress 90%… 95%…]The final moment has arrived!
Paradigm-level power! It will soon be… his!
The Osborne Industries…
This crisis…
Gave him an… unimaginable…
Great start!
From an ordinary time traveler, in just a few hours…
Several S-level and A-level talents are superimposed!
He even forcibly stripped away a paradigm-level concept hunter at the cost of near death…
All! Core! Talent!
Paradigm-level conceptual interference! Dimensional travel!
These two abilities…
What kind of future will it bring him? !
In front of him…what kind of wonderful things will be shown? !
He is waiting to see!
