Chapter 100: Flying Cat

"Roar, my life gene modification was successful, and I am gradually evolving into a Thunder Beast."

The big black cat roared, "With wings, I can fly! The Thunder Beast is the ultimate evolution of feline animals. Humans who inject its genes will die very quickly! Even for us felines, it is extremely dangerous. Fortunately, my mind is strong, and I constantly use my mind to catalyze the medicine. Moreover, my body has been transformed by prenatal breathing, making it highly capable of withstanding gene modification. I originally wanted you to inject it too, to become flying cats, but based on my experience with gene modification, you definitely wouldn't be able to withstand it."

"Boss, according to legend, the Thunder Beast can not only fly but also absorb the power of thunder and lightning, releasing intense electric abilities. I wonder if you can absorb electric currents?" Flower Face Tyrant asked.

"Not yet. Absorbing electric currents and generating abilities is an extremely powerful gene. Right now, I have only modified myself to be able to fly. Unless I inject the Thunder Beast gene solution many times, there might be a chance to gain the ability to absorb electric currents."

The big black cat was well-versed in genetics, always eager to learn and tirelessly researching online for a wealth of information: "Inside the Thunder Beast, there is a Thunder Relic, naturally condensed, equivalent to a small nuclear reactor. It can absorb thunder, store it, and release it, similar to the Golden Pill in Daoism. I succeeded on my first injection, and the risk for the next one is much smaller. With long-term injections, I will definitely become a Thunder Beast."

"Meow..." The five kittens jumped around, "The Thunder Beast is so powerful, even human mechs can't match it. Its physical strength is so formidable that it can tear apart warships. Boss, can you really strengthen yourself to that level? Can you withstand gunfire now?"

"No, human firearms are too powerful, equipped with small nuclear kinetic energy. Flesh and blood can't withstand them." The big black cat shook its head, "If it were the bullets from two hundred years ago during the state era, they wouldn't be able to penetrate my body. However, the police's paralyzing guns are ineffective against me."

"Then, Boss, we need to obtain more Thunder Beast gene solutions. If you inject ten or eight bottles, you will become even stronger." Flower Face Tyrant waved his paws, as if a soldier welcoming a leader's inspection.

"In theory, that's true, but each injection carries risks. From now on, I will study genetics to see if there are any medicines that can reduce the risks. Winning once is a matter of luck and courage, but winning countless times depends on strength." The big black cat also waved its paws and landed, its wings folding into a ball, hidden under its fur, making it look like a giant black cat, which is more convenient for movement. Otherwise, a cat with wings on a train would definitely attract curiosity, even though the government wouldn't arrest it, it would draw a lot of attention.

Now, the human government is very open-minded about animals. Even if strange-looking animals appear, they won't be arrested unless they cause destruction.

Since gene modification techniques emerged, many animals have become test subjects. Moreover, many years ago, the Earth World War and countless nuclear explosions affected animals.

"We need to set up a laboratory to study genetics. However, we need specialized researchers." Flower Face Tyrant checked the information on his optical brain, appearing very calm.

"Boss, how is your hypnosis now? Your brain cells should be stronger, right?" Big Meng asked.

"Of course, the Thunder Beast's brain cells are super strong. Otherwise, how could it control thunder? These days, after injections, my mind has been clear, but I have been immersed in illusions every day. After experiencing this pain, my realm has grown. If nothing goes wrong, I will reach the Great Tranquility realm in some time."

The big black cat strolled leisurely, "The three stages of meditation: Lesser Tranquility, Great Tranquility, and Eternal Tranquility. Each realm has great mysteries. I hope you can all enter these stages, so our team of cat people can truly dominate the black market."

"Meditation, meditation!" The kittens, including Big Meng and Flower Face Tyrant, all shouted, "We want to meditate!"

"Let's start the plan. The Three Dragons Society is completely under our control. First, find out where in the black market there is still Thunder Beast gene solution and plunder as much as possible." The big black cat finished speaking, walked out of the secret room, and looked at the starry sky, "I wonder where Jiang Li went to take the exam? Can he get into the Starry Sky University?"

"Boss, look, the Sun and Moon Group is building frantically." Big Meng raised his paw, pointing to the distance, where tall buildings stood, and some mechs were flying above them, not mid-level mechs but low-level ones, but still very powerful.

"These people of the Sun and Moon Group will eventually be under my control." The big black cat did not act rashly. Although it could now fly, it was still not enough to withstand gunfire. It needed to accumulate strength and operate slowly.

On the Asura Star.

Jiang Li had no idea that the big black cat had successfully transformed after injecting the gene solution, becoming even stronger. He was completely immersed in martial arts training.

Killing the Asura beasts with Wang Changrong, consuming the gene meat, and practicing martial arts, he finally broke through to a life force of 2.1 on the 28th day.

Luo Han and Xue Ling had also broken through to 1.6, becoming the top students.

Wang Changrong, although not fully recovered, had reached 2.4.

Thus, the four of them could kill Asura beasts more efficiently. In the last two days, they managed to kill four Asura Beast Kings.

This way, each of them obtained a piece of the Beast King's gene meat, which further strengthened their cells when consumed.

Jiang Li felt his brain cells continuously strengthening. The nutrients and energy he obtained first ensured the supply to his brain cells, then to his body, so his life force grew slowly.

But Wang Changrong evaluated him like this: as a mid-level hypnotist, Jiang Li's mental strength was equivalent to dozens of others.

If measured by the number of hypnotic sessions, Wang Changrong was not as good as him.

Finally, the 30 days of hellish training passed.

Ding ding ding...

On this day, the chips in Luo Han, Xue Ling, and Jiang Li's bodies rang simultaneously: "All students, the 30-day trial is over. Return to your base, count the number of people, and prepare for the next round of exams."

Wang Changrong's body trembled, staring at Jiang Li. He knew this was his only chance to leave the Asura Star.

"Since we have an agreement, I will definitely take you out. However, I am taking a great risk. If the Starry Sky University finds out, I will not only lose my exam eligibility but also be exiled." Jiang Li said.

"Don't worry, the space folding technology is the highest level of human science. How could they detect it?" Wang Changrong hurriedly said, "Quick, quick, put me in the space."

"Alright, but I must warn you, the space will absorb energy and expand during the wormhole jump. If something happens to you, I won't be responsible." Jiang Li thought about this.

"That's fine, even if I die, it's better than dying old on this Asura Star." Wang Changrong was eager: "There's no hope anyway, might as well take a chance."

"Indeed, it's better to take a chance than to die aimlessly." Jiang Li slowly opened the space, which contained some water. The water also had a lot of gene meat, which Jiang Li planned to take back to Earth for his parents, sister, brother, and the big black cat and other cats to soak in.

Wang Changrong leaped in, and the space immediately closed, isolating him from the world.

Jiang Li then came out of the cave and called to Luo Han and Xue Ling, "Let's go."

"Where's Wang Changrong?" Luo Han asked.

"This is a secret, it's better if you don't know." Jiang Li said solemnly, "I don't want you to be involved in this matter."

"Pfft, even if you want to tell me, I don't want to hear it..." Xue Ling pouted, muttering.

Luo Han nodded, "Let's go then. This trial is over, and the next cultural combat exam should be easier."

The three of them ran quickly, much faster than before. Xue Ling and Luo Han had consumed a piece of the Asura King's gene meat in the last two days, although they didn't break through to 1.7 life force, they had a good chance of breaking through after returning and practicing hard.

Swoosh, swoosh, swoosh...

The three of them ran like shadows across the scorching plain, reaching speeds of 100 kilometers per hour, and they had applied gene meat liquid, making them immune to the scorching sun.

After about five hours, the human base appeared in sight.

A beam of energy shot out, enveloping the three of them.

In the next moment, they arrived in the grand and luxurious hall of the human base, feeling like they had been reborn.

Jiang Li's heart was also moved. Between savagery and civilization, there was only a wall.

Xue Ling and Luo Han were quietly reflecting. This trial was also a mental challenge, greatly benefiting their mental cultivation.

"You three..." At this moment, a tall warrior in white armor walked over, looking them up and down, noticing the gene meat liquid on their bodies, and showing surprise, "You hunted a large number of Asura beasts? How much gene meat did you obtain? To use the liquid to coat your entire bodies is quite extravagant."

"Just lucky." Jiang Li smiled faintly.

"Congratulations, you have passed the first round of the test! You survived and returned from the Asura Star." The white-armored warrior said, "Your chips have marked that you have passed the first round. Next, we have prepared rest rooms for you, one each. Inside are nutritional solutions, various foods, and clothes. Change and rest, waiting for the notification for the second exam."

"Yes!"

Jiang Li, Luo Han, and Xue Ling all saluted.

"Your rest room is over there, and yours are on the other side. The path is displayed on your chips. Go ahead."

Immediately, the three of them separated and went to their respective rest rooms.

Jiang Li walked a long way, seeing many densely packed, honeycomb-like rooms. One of them was his. He swiped his chip, and the room opened, revealing a 50 square meter space with no bed but a floor for sleeping. In the room's cabinet were various nutritional solutions.

Without hesitation, he ate and drank heartily, then performed various gentle exercises to digest the nutrients, and began to meditate and rest, waiting for the notification.

He could remain calm in any situation.

This was the result of his strong mental cultivation.

"I wonder how many candidates from the Earth region are left? Out of more than ten thousand candidates, will half of them be dead or injured? If all the rich kids from Jinghua City are dead, then the secret of me killing Yu Muhua and Jiang Liu won't be revealed... But many people watched that day, and the truth will eventually come out. I need to be prepared for a life-or-death battle with them..."

After resting for a few hours and fully recovering his physical strength to its peak, Jiang Li stood up, stretched, and thought about what to do next.
