I Can Infinitely Synthesize Transcendent Genes

“`

“If I can synthesize one Extraordinary Gene from three Psychic Class gene fragments, does that mean I could acquire the corresponding Extraordinary Abilities? And if I encounter other Extraordinary Genes… could I also merge them? If it’s all mergeable, just how strong could I become?”

Pei Jinye’s heart suddenly set ablaze with excitement. He was well aware what merging meant; the more light orbs he encountered, the stronger he would become, grasping more and more powerful Extraordinary Abilities.

The most urgent task at hand was to resolve the economic struggles of his entire family. If it weren’t for his awakening, the family wouldn’t have had to sell their only house, nor would they now be squeezed into a ten-square-meter shabby room, tightening their belts to get by.

Having felt guilty for so many days, it was only today that Pei Jinye finally found confidence!

A house I shall have! The Extraordinary, too, I shall claim!

With a light exhale to suppress the frenzy in his heart, Pei Jinye cast aside his distracting thoughts and began practicing the Basic Breathing Method. He had made up his mind that as soon as this class was over, he would take a good look around this school to see if there were any more hidden, untriggered light orbs with gene fragments.

The classroom fell silent at that moment.

Almost everyone held their breath and stared at the girl with the ponytail, just waiting for her to enter concentration and perhaps observe a thing or two.

In today’s world, the training to enter concentration is said to be even more important than physical fitness.

Physical fitness, though capable of enhancing one’s physique, cannot, unlike concentration, allow one to touch upon the Transcendent. Awakening Extraordinary Genes is inherently dependent on the depth of one’s concentration, and even after awakening, the benefits brought by entering concentration are particularly significant.

Ice Sister curled her finger and a flash of frost passed by, isolating Pei Jinye and the girl with the ponytail in a small separate space to prevent the forthcoming conversation from disturbing their practice.

“Those who have memorized the textbook know that concentration is divided into four stages.

The first stage is minor concentration, where one focuses their mental will, immersing themselves in their Spiritual World to cleanse their inner impurities. If you can easily reach this stage, then congratulations, your mental will has already far surpassed that of ordinary people.

The second stage is Major Concentration, which gathers mental focus much faster compared to minor concentration. Your willpower will grow several times stronger, and at this stage, first-level Spirit Class Transcendent people would basically not be able to harm you.

As for the remaining two stages, common concentration and absolute concentration, you’ll naturally learn more once you get into Wu University. I won’t mention them here; if you can reach the second stage now, you’re already considered exceptionally talented.”

While people felt regretful, they also aspired to achieve such levels, their gaze turning towards Wang Jing.

They couldn’t help but be curious whether she had entered concentration yet.

But then, they heard Ice Sister let out a surprised sound, and all eyes followed hers—to their surprise, she was looking at… Pei Jinye?!!!

Everyone was somewhat taken aback.

Ice Sister raised her eyebrow with interest, “It seems I misjudged. This kid is entering concentration even faster than Wang Jing, without making a sound!”

Noticing that Wang Jing had not yet succeeded in entering concentration, Ice Sister gestured for the students to look at Pei Jinye inside the barrier.

“Pay attention to Pei Jinye’s breathing rate. He is currently in a state of concentration, his breathing at least three seconds slower than normal—yes, nine seconds… his state of concentration is perfect, watch closely…”

Following Ice Sister’s introduction, many classmates began looking at Pei Jinye with amazement.

“Can he actually enter concentration?”

“I never noticed before, but Pei Jinye actually looks quite handsome…”

“He’s quietly astonishing everyone.”

In the back row.

Pei Jinye’s deskmate was shocked at this moment: “I thought Brother Ye was just there to blend into the background… but it turns out Brother Ye is so fierce!”

Pei Jinye knew nothing about what was happening outside, as he was following a force within his body, fully immersed in his own dream. It was a comfort he had never experienced before.

In his dream, he saw a white light orb.

The orb emitted a gentle glow.

He subconsciously reached out, and the moment his fingertip touched the orb, a multitude of tender green grass shoots broke free from the soil’s restraint and burst into the desolate gray world of his Spiritual World.

He had never realized that practicing the Breathing Method could allow him to witness such a peculiar scene… Fresh grass shoots spread across the barren landscape, heralding a revival of all things!

Unaware of how much time had passed, Pei Jinye gradually regained consciousness.

He had an epiphany that everything in his dream was related to the gene fragment he had just encountered, and he was curious how much stronger he could become if he merged with other genes.

After the dream shattered, Pei Jinye slowly opened his eyes.

The girl with the ponytail had woken up at some point, and was now sitting in her seat, staring at him with a deep and distant gaze.

“`

Pei Jinye didn’t know what she was muttering about and simply ignored her, turning his head to look at Ice Sister.

“So… what do we do next?”

He was too embarrassed to say that he had slept too hard and had a very long dream.

Ice Sister looked at him meaningfully, “You did well. You may step down now.”

Pei Jinye responded with an innocent “oh,” and as he walked back to his seat, the classroom’s fifty-odd pairs of eyes all followed him intently, leaving him somewhat puzzled, especially the girl with the ponytail who looked unconvinced.

Just after Pei Jinye sat down at his desk, his deskmate leaned over and gave him a thumbs-up: “Brother Ye, that was awesome.”

Pei Jinye: “?”

His deskmate glanced at the girl with the ponytail, whispering mischievously, “Wang Jing only entered concentration for two minutes, but you went straight into it for an hour. You stunned everyone with your staying power. Also, it’s the second period now. It was supposed to be geography, but Ice Sister stepped in to swap classes on the spot just so as not to disturb your concentration.”

Pei Jinye was taken aback after hearing this.

“An hour?”

It was something he could never have imagined on his own.

But he really had never entered concentration before; today was the first time he’d done it.

Could it be…

That he had triggered the state of concentration because he had obtained fragments of Extraordinary-Human Genes?

Pei Jinye hurriedly pulled up his attribute panel.

[Name]: Pei Jinye;

[Extraordinary Genes]: Psychic Type (1/3);

[Vitality Value]: 1.39 card (average level for peers: 0.8);

[Skill]: Basic Breathing Method Level 2 (5%);

Pei Jinye’s expression lit up.

He’d made a breakthrough! The Vitality Value that had only increased by 0.1 card over three years of practice had shot past 1! And the Basic Breathing Method had leveled up on the spot!

Pei Jinye had never expected such great benefits from entering concentration and couldn’t help but wonder if collecting more Gene Fragments would bring even more significant benefits.

Thinking this, he looked up at the girl with the ponytail, curious about how much her Vitality Value had increased. It was said that the top student’s Vitality Value wasn’t even 1 yet.

However, she didn’t have an attribute panel, and the only way to notice any minor changes would be to have a special checkup, which wasn’t cheap.

Pei Jinye felt a bit regretful about this since, without a reference point, he could only seek victory on his own.

As he was thinking, Pei Jinye’s expression subtly changed; he could distinctly sense that the atmosphere in the classroom had shifted.

Everyone’s gazes seemed to converge on him, whether intentionally or not, and even Ice Sister cast a couple of glances his way from time to time.

If he had known that absorbing the Gene Fragments would be so attention-grabbing, he definitely would have chosen to keep a low profile. But fortunately, this was just entering concentration, not an awakening, so it wasn’t enough to cause a commotion.

The bell rang, “ding-a-ling.”

Ice Sister announced the end of class and before leaving, she couldn’t help but take another glance at Pei Jinye, making him feel quite guilty.

No sooner had she left…

Many students in the classroom got up, and a few groups of boys and girls gathered around Pei Jinye. They were not yet as wary as adults and spoke more directly.

Most came seeking advice, asking how they could achieve the same endurance in concentration as him.

Pei Jinye humored the young men and women with some inspirational talk, then seized an opportunity and quickly left the classroom, beginning a thorough search.
