Super Gene Ⅱ: Evolution

After throwing the punch, Lin Shen felt as if his body had been drained, his legs so weak they trembled involuntarily.

"Finally achieved it... Yet, with my full power, I couldn't even leave a mark on the training pillar. What in the world is this pillar made of?" Lin Shen collapsed onto the ground, staring blankly at the pillar.

After all, his strength was now close to sixty, and that punch must have been nearing the power of a hundred.

Combining the full force of Stepping on the Immortal Court with the Twenty-Eight Fists had a terrifyingly augmentative effect on strength.

This enhancement primarily came from the Twenty-Eight Fists, which indeed required one to give their all without reservation, to put themselves in mortal peril to then emerge stronger, to unleash the true power of the Twenty-Eight Fists.

Therefore, without Angel Rebirth, the Twenty-Eight Fists could indeed only be used once, also failing to produce the effect of the Overlapping Waves Skill.

Lin Shen rested for a moment, then stood up again, his body now encased in a carapace, with its mysterious hieroglyphic text beginning to shimmer with a brilliant light.

Lin Shen wanted to see if, with the enhancement of the Super Base Pattern, he could truly realize his conception.

Lin Shen moved as swift as a startled swan, taking a step forward and throwing another punch. Step after step, punch after punch.

Each punch was like a massive wave hitting the shore or lightning in a clear sky, fierce and unparalleled, and yet their power continuously compounded into a terrifying force.

The punch and the step were in synchrony, each attack and movement were carried out with full force, getting faster and stronger.

The energy drained from the Base Mutation was replenished by the force of the world drawn in by the Super Base Pattern, allowing Lin Shen to push forward with another strike.

He had only moved a few steps when his footwork and punching lost sync, immediately throwing off the momentum. The unending strength nearly shattered his carapace.

"There are still some problems... The integration isn't perfect yet..." Lin Shen could only continue to make modifications, again and again, until he could unify his footwork and punching perfectly.

Now, Lin Shen's thoughts were crystal clear; each of his strikes was equivalent to the skills of an average Mutator, and the power of each strike was cumulative.

Put simply, his every basic attack held power equivalent to someone else using a skill.

At present, Lin Shen's greatest limitation was not his body, but the speed at which the Super Base Pattern absorbed the World's Force.

The faster and more power the Super Base Pattern absorbed from the World's Force, the stronger his destructive power.

Unfortunately, in an ordinary environment, the speed at which the Super Base Pattern absorbed the World's Force was insufficient, which limited Lin Shen's performance.

In these conditions, every punch Lin Shen threw could reach a Fist Power close to one hundred, and if the environment were special, the Fist Power could be even stronger.

This was still just the state of using the Super Base Pattern alone. If he also used Super-Base Change to enhance his strength, the Fist Power of each punch would reach an extremely terrifying level.

But if Super-Base Change was used simultaneously, the supply of the World's Force absorbed by the Super Base Pattern would be inadequate, making it impossible to maintain the Super-Base Change state continuously—there would be, at best, a chance for a single strike.

This was a very troublesome problem. Using Super-Base Change required constant massive energy expenditure.

And the skill he was currently practicing was designed to exhaust all energy in one go, so after a single strike, the Super-Base Change would inevitably collapse.

This was almost an unsolvable challenge, unless the Super Base Pattern could replenish energy so rapidly that it was never-ending, without any interruption. Otherwise, it would be difficult to use this technique continuously under the state of Super-Base Change.

To solve this problem, Angel Rebirth is indeed a relatively ideal solution.

However, choosing Angel Rebirth means having to give up the Double Life Base.

"After my Ascension, the effect of the Super Base Pattern still has room for improvement after multiple reincarnations, and sooner or later, it will be able to infinitely draw the World's Force. Now, choosing Angel Rebirth, the functions of the two will overlap in the future..." Lin Shen thought it over and concluded that he couldn't choose Angel Rebirth in the long run.

Fortunately, his skills created from merging Stepping on the Immortal Court with Twenty-Eight Fists were already strong enough that even without using the Super Base Change, he was already very powerful.

The Fist Power released with each punch could stack, and the effect was very high; the average Ascender would probably not be able to withstand even a few of his punches.

If it weren't for facing top-tier Ascenders like Cosimo, Lin Shen's abilities were now more than sufficient.

Lin Shen continued to refine the new skill he had developed, naming it "Surfing Fist."

A very commonplace and straightforward name, it was composed by taking one word from each—Stepping on the Immortal Court, Overlapping Waves Skill, and Twenty-Eight Fists.

But a name has never been about being common or uncommon; it's all about what meaning the user can impart to it.

Now, even the creators of Stepping on the Immortal Court and Twenty-Eight Fists would probably not recognize their creations in Surfing Fist, seeing only some similarities.

Surfing Fist is a skill that grows stronger and faster with battle, but this also means that the consumption is constantly increasing.

"Let's see what the limit of Surfing Fist can reach." Lin Shen activated the Super Base Pattern, took a step, and simultaneously hammered out a punch at the training pillar.

Punch after punch, step after step, he barely managed four steps and delivered four punches before the Super Base Pattern's drawing of the World's Force could no longer keep up with the consumption. As soon as the energy was cut off, Lin Shen's movements slowed down, and the Fist Power could no longer keep up.

The four stacked punches of Surfing Fist left a shallow imprint on the training pillar that was almost invisible unless looked at closely.

"I could only consecutively deliver four punches, which is still a bit weak." Lin Shen sighed.

Tian Xun had slept for a while and upon waking, seeing that it was about time, decided to check whether Lin Shen had given up or not.

Upon arriving at the training ground and seeing Lin Shen resting next to the training pillar, Tian Xun thought he had given up. Walking over to say something, she suddenly spotted the shallow mark on the pillar.

She usually used the training pillar herself and knew every single mark on it, what kind they were—Tian Xun was clear on all of it.

This additional mark must have been left by Lin Shen, but she found it hard to believe that he could have made a mark on it.

This was her training pillar; although the material was not Nirvana material, it was still made of top-tier Ascension material, forged with special techniques. An average Ascender wouldn't be able to leave a mark on it.

Only some top-tier Ascenders with immense strength could possibly leave a mark on it.

How could Lin Shen, a Mutator, possibly leave a mark on it?

"Is this mark left by you?" Tian Xun pointed at the mark and asked Lin Shen.

"I'm sorry, I hope I didn't damage it," Lin Shen thought the mark he left might have upset Tian Xun.

"How did you leave this mark? Do it again, let me see." Tian Xun still found it hard to believe.
