Looking at the smiling Bai Yu, Han Ning felt his heart stop beating.
Bai Yu had discovered his secret!
Not only that, the other party knew that he had secretly fused with the Origin genes, but he did not show any signs of surprise.
This meant that Bai Yu knew that he was hiding something all along!
Thinking of this, Han Ning clenched his fists tightly!
However, Han Ning let out another sigh.
Initially, Han Ning had intended to risk his life to break free. However, he knew that Bai Yu must have had other intentions since he did not expose him.
So, what was Bai Yu thinking?
Noticing the change in Han Ning’s expression, Bai Yu waved his hand. “Don’t be nervous. If I wanted to deal with you, you would have been dead by now.”
Han Ning smiled bitterly.
Indeed, in his previous state, he couldn’t put up any resistance at all.
Since the cat was already out of the bag, Han Ning asked, “Professor, how did you discover I was hiding something? Why didn’t you sell me out to the Sun family?”
Bai Yu pursed his lips. “Nonsense, I’m in the field of genetic research. In this field, the most important thing is to be attentive and observant. Do you think you can hide your little tricks during the experiments from me?”
“From the first time you extracted the genes, I realized that something was wrong with you. If I’m not wrong, your talent can extract the genes just by coming into contact with a corpse. It doesn’t have to be through ordinary means, right?”
Han Ning was stunned.
It turned out that Bai Yu had known what he was doing from the start, but he had never exposed him!
“As for why I didn’t sell you out to the Sun family…”
Bai Yu stroked his chin.
“That’s because I’m the same as you. I’ve helped myself in private.”
“…”
Han Ning finally understood.
No wonder Bai Yu did not tell anyone about him.
It turned out that this person had also secretly fused quite a few genes. The degree of violation was probably even more exaggerated than his own!
Come to think of it, before he entered the research institute, Bai Yu had been conducting gene extraction alone and the original laboratory had always been closed off. Since Bai Yu was guarding so many genes, he had to think for himself!
Since that was the case, Han Ning was no longer nervous.
After that, Han Ning did some stretchings and felt that his physical fitness had improved significantly.
As he had fused with strength genes on this current stage, his strength had improved the most.
Han Ning sent his consciousness into his dimension status and could clearly see the changes on it.
On the interface, 100 points were missing from the Divine Blood Ant’s gene. Han Ning used it for his gene fusion. As for the Broken Unicorn’s gene, it was secretly extracted when he was in the caverns.
After all, even though the Broken Unicorn’s body dissipated very quickly, Han Ning only needed to touch it secretly.
After this transformation, not only did Han Ning activate the fusion of the strength genes, but he had also raised it to 100%!
Next, he only needed to absorb another 200 points of origin power to advance to the Ultimate Vitality Realm.
Han Ning was excited.
Furthermore, Han Ning’s relationship with Bai Yu now had improved even further.
The two of them exchanged their secrets, and from a certain perspective, they were on the same boat.
Looking at Bai Yu, Han Ning asked, “Professor, after the Sun and Qin families develop the caverns, it’s very likely that they will attract the Primal dimensional beasts. I want to improve my strength as soon as possible. Do you have any good suggestions?”
Bai Yu looked at Han Ning and rubbed his forehead.
“Brat, do you think that your cultivation speed is not fast enough?”
As he spoke, Bai Yu started to explain to Han Ning what to take note of in evolution.
Every level of life has its own limits.
Fusing with a higher-level gene would only produce two results.
It was either that this person’s strength had been strengthened by the baptism of the high-level genes and had become even stronger.
Or that he could not withstand the powerful backlash and died on the spot.
Han Ning belonged to the former.
However, this was because Bai Yu had injected a gene stabilizer into Han Ning when he reached his limit. Otherwise, the powerful genes would have turned Han Ning into a corpse!
However, since Han Ning had made it through, he had benefited greatly.
Under normal circumstances, an ordinary Dimension user would naturally have normal combat power after fusing with a Normal gene. However, since Han Ning had fused with an Origin gene, this resulted in his strength level being a level higher than a Normal-Ultimate Strength Dimension user.
After listening to Bai Yu’s lecture, Han Ning felt a lingering fear.
At that time, he only wanted to quickly increase his strength, but he didn’t stop and consider that there would be a risk of death.
At the same time, Han Ning was glad.
Fortunately, he did not choose to fuse the genes privately.
Otherwise, he would have killed himself before the Sun family could even capture him!
Suppressing the palpitations in his heart, Han Ning asked, “But, Professor, powerful dimensional beasts might appear. I still want to improve my strength as soon as possible.”
Bai Yu nodded. “Don’t worry about that. Since you’ve survived the backlash once, your body will become tougher. It won’t be too risky even if you fuse with other Origin genes in the future.”
“Next, you just need to devour the origin power and complete the transformation from Ultimate Strength to Ultimate Vitality Realm. As for the gene fusion of vitality afterward…”
Bai Yu looked at Han Ning playfully.
“Don’t tell me you didn’t hide the genes of the Longevity Worm!”
“Hehe, not really.”
Han Ning scratched his head awkwardly.
Bai Yu did not elaborate further.
Since Han Ning could hide the Divine Blood Ant’s genes, how could he not hide the ones from the Longevity Worm?
At this time, Han Ning had already jumped off the experiment table. His body was not adversely affected by the impact of the high-level genes.
Seeing that Han Ning was fine, Bai Yu reminded him, “By the way, don’t reveal any abnormalities from now on. I’ll help you deal with the matter of origin power. There are quite a number of beast corpses here, enough for you to complete your next evolution.”
Han Ning nodded. “Thank you, Professor.”
For the next few days, the master and disciple continued to work and live their lives as per normal.
The two of them acted as if nothing had happened.
Three days later, the mining team from the Sun and Qin families completed the first batch of resource excavation and successfully brought back the first batch of genetic origin energy.
One day, He Shengliang entered the Research Institute of Longevity and gave Bai Yu and Han Ning a bag of genetic origin energy crystals each. He then said, “These are from the family.”
“During the first operation, both of your judgments provided the family with extremely important information. I hope that in the future, we can work together and continue to contribute to the family..”
