âMaster?â
Shen Qinghan opened her eyes and saw Yuan Dongzhi standing still with a stunned expression, not responding to her words, which made her voice her doubt and feel very uneasy.
Lin Zichenâs brow furrowed slightly, and after hesitating for a moment he stepped forward and asked, âPrincipal Yuan, is there a problem with Han Hanâs genetic fusion?â
Upon hearing the two peopleâs voices, Yuan Dongzhi quickly snapped back to reality.
She steadied her emotions and said with some uncertainty, âQinghanâs genetic fusion failed, it didnât successfully integrate the Azure Jellyfish King genes, but⦠I canât say itâs an outright failure.â
âWhat do you mean?â
Lin Zichenâs brows knitted even tighter.
Either it succeeds, or it fails, what is this ânot a complete failureâ?
Did it only fuse halfway?
Lin Zichen was worried about this, afraid that Shen Qinghanâs body might develop problems because of it.
Abnormal situations always provoke such unease.
Yuan Dongzhi didnât hide the situation from her young discipleâs cohabiting boyfriend and told the truth, âUnder normal circumstances, if exotic beast genes injected into the heart donât cause a severe rejection reaction, itâs considered a successful genetic fusion.â
âBecause the biggest difficulty in genetic fusion is the rejection reaction.â
âAs long as there is no rejection reaction, with the assistance of various drugs in the gene reagent, oneâs own genes will quickly fuse with the exotic beast gene on their own, obtaining the authority to express the exotic beast gene, thus attaining certain abilities of the respective exotic beast.â
âHowever, Qinghanâs situation is strange; the Azure Jellyfish King genes injected into her didnât cause the slightest rejection reaction, nor did they initiate fusion, but were instead completely controlled.â
âAll the Azure Jellyfish King genes were controlled by her own genes.â
As she spoke these words, disbelief was written all over Yuan Dongzhiâs face, and she felt very unreal.
Having lived for nearly a century and personally witnessed the development of genetic fusion technology from scratch to the present, participating in tens of thousands of genetic fusion surgeries, she had never seen a case like Shen Qinghanâs.
She had not only never seen it, but she had also never even heard of it.
Her past knowledge of genetic fusion was completely shattered, leaving her dumbfounded.
The Azure Jellyfish King genes, controlled by Han Hanâs genes?
Lin Zi Chen was extremely puzzled and looked at Yuan Dongzhi, asking, âPrincipal Yuan, what exactly is going on?â
âI canât quite clarify what exactly is going on,â Yuan Dongzhi admitted with uncharacteristic patience. âThe only thing Iâm clear about now is that, under the perception of my spiritual power, I found that Qinghanâs own genes seem to have a mind of their own, systematically surrounding the invading Azure Jellyfish King genes and then coiling around them, restricting their freedom.â
âDuring the process, some Azure Jellyfish King genes instinctively tried to initiate fusion, only to be directly strangled by Qinghanâs genes, turning into a heap of gene fragments that were completely absorbed as nutrients.â
âThe current situation is that the remaining Azure Jellyfish King genes are all restricted in their freedom, looking like a female thief who broke into a house and got imprisoned in the basement by the homeowner, a situation I have never encountered.â
Surrounding?
Coiling?
Imprisoning?
Hearing these sensitive words, Lin Zichen found it unbelievable.
Is this something genes can do?
This notion was so astonishing that it made him doubt whether Yuan Dongzhi was lying.
Unfortunately, his spiritual power was not strong enough; otherwise, he would also want to investigate Shen Qinghanâs body to verify if it was really that bizarre.
While the two were talking, Shen Qinghan on the bed was very well-behaved, not interrupting, listening quietly the entire time.
As she was attentively listening to Yuan Dongzhi explain the situation in her body,
suddenly, she noticed her hair changing color!
Turning blue at a visible rate, resembling the hue of the ocean.
At the same time, it became even more supple and glossy, looking crystal-clear like water.
âXiao Chen, Master, my hair is changing color!â
Shen Qinghan felt a bit panicked and turned to look at the two as she spoke, reacting immediately.
There was no need for her reminder, as Lin Zichen and Yuan Dongzhi had already noticed.
Because their gaze had never left her, not even for a second.
âWhatâs the matter?â
Yuan Dongzhi was once again baffled and asked with a puzzled expression, âWhy does she express the Azure Jellyfish Kingâs genes when the fusion clearly failed?â
Turning hair blue is one of the characteristics expressed by the Blue Spirit Jellyfish genes.
This shouldnât be occurring in Shen Qinghan.
Yuan Dongzhi sat down by the bed and observed Shen Qinghanâs now azure-blue supple hair closely, asking her, âQinghan, do you feel anything unusual in your body?â
Shen Qinghan calmed her emotions, focused quietly and felt something carefully, then said uncertainly, âIt feels like thereâs something extra inside of me; I can sense it, and it seems⦠I can also control it.â
Something extra inside?
Able to sense it?
And even control it?
Isnât that a Genetic Integrator?
Yuan Dongzhi felt perplexed.
After some thought, she figured that it must be a problem with her own spiritual power.
Indeed, Shen Qinghan had successfully fused with the Azure Jellyfish King genes, and it was a flaw in her spiritual power perception that had prevented her from realizing this.
Thinking this, she immediately withdrew her spiritual power from Shen Qinghanâs body.
She took a moment to rest, allowing her brain to take a short break.
Afterward, she extended her spiritual power again, entering Shen Qinghanâs body, carefully examining the Azure Jellyfish King genes inside.
Her findings revealed that the Azure Jellyfish King genes were still being controlled by Shen Qinghanâs genes; there was no mutual fusion whatsoever.
