Multi-Gene

Chapter 263 - Trouble

The strength flowed within him like a tsunami, threatening to burst out with the slight exertion of the muscles. 

If it weren't for his absolute body control, he would definitely have struggled to keep his strength under wrap. 

The only thing running through his mind was what if he activated one-fold strength technique to the power he currently has. 

Or even Two-Fold strength, doesn't that mean he could literally crush everyone and everything blocking his path? 

David thought the idea was a feasible one and after some thoughts he decided to try it.

Revolving his blood, he activated the strengthening technique and after a while, nothing seem to be happening.

David frowned slightly. "It didn't work?" he had used the strengthening technique for quite some time now. 

He was more familiar with the technique than he had been with other ones which was why he was confident he wouldn't make any mistakes in activating it.

Focusing his mind, he guided the flow of his blood to the hidden spots, oscillated hisusckes according to the frequency stated and then stomped his feet to counter the destructive force created by the frequency.

But still, nothing. He wasn't even able to create the unique force by oscillating his muscles.

In the past, he could even execute this technique in his sleep which was why he was confused as to what was happening.

Shaking his head, "Let's get out of here first, I will deal with this later." With that, he controlled his body quite well this time.

His speed was still very fast but he was easily able to see the things around him, evading the obstackess and moved according to the direction of the arrow.

A few minutes later, David stopped in his tracks and sighed in relief as he spotted his backpack on the ground.

But not far away from him was the dried corpse of a young man.

He knew this person. It was the third-year student that had stabbed his heart with that sharp dagger.

David hesitated slightly but then gritted his teeth and went ahead to search the corpse of the dried corpse.

Whatever the young man's backing maybe, he had offended a lot of people anyways. 

Adding another to the list wouldn't make much of a difference anyways.

Taking out his hands, he brought out two bottled up serums from the corpse.

Reading the label. 'Fire-breathing Scaled lizard's Wing'.

The young man had been intending to break through and merge with a fourth gene, when his cells and gene had gotten used to to the genetic strain the three previous merge genes had caused in his body.

Everybody, every being had a specific amount of genetic space or as the Genetist calls it, a gene pool. 

For example a normal human barely had up to 10 to 20 genetic space that would only sustain 10-20 genetic load.

The changing of eye colour has its own genetic load of 2-5 genetic space, depending on the colour and design the eye colour would take. 

If a normal human was to undergo the transformation, there would only be 8 to 15 genetic space left. 

Becoming a Spryher, would gradually increase that genetic space, making the space or pool wider and wider. 

The more blood revolutions one's body could revolve, the wider the genetic space or gene pool would become once they advanced into the Phasing stage.

A Spryher with a blood revolution of 100cpm would have a genetic space of about 500 unit of genetic space in his gene pool. 

Now, most basic gene contains up to 70 - 100 genetic load of space. 

Which means if the person with the 100 CPM revolution wishes to have a complete set of gene, the person can only merge with the most basic of genes.

Like the Two-tailed rabbit or the land sharks. Their genetic structures are basic therefore, doesn't contain much genetic load. Hence, taking less genetic space in the body. 

"Good stuff." David's eyes lit up. He didn't know how much it was going to sell for but it would certainly be very expensive. Since it wasn't just a basic gene.

Keepimg it carefully in his backpack, David continuously searched the corpse. He grabbed a handful of explosive dart and another handful of protective buttons. 

David couldn't help but wonder why the person hadn't used it during their fight. It appears the young man found it beneath him to use it against a weak opponent like David. 

Not knowing he had actually underestimated him from the beginning. 

Searching the corpse for more treasures, he couldn't find any. 

With that, David stood up, grabbed his backpack and turned around to leave. Staying longer in the forest would be dangerous. 

David checked the time and he frowned, he was already late for the Sky. Cruiser that was supposed to take him back to the institute. He needed to book another flight and wait for the next one to come. 

Which means he needed to go back to the guesthouse since he couldn't spend the night in the dangerous forest. 

With that, David changed his direction after bookimh the flight and left for the city. 

The next Sky Cruiser was to come by 6 am the next day. 

As David exited the forest, he was met with two strangers at the gate of the city. 

The two strangers were a man and a woman with their age between 40-50 years old. 

"Young man." The woman stopped David right as he was about to enter the gate to the city. 

David but on a wide grin as he answered. "Yes ma'm?"

"You are just coming from the Blackdorm forest right?" The lady asked him straight forwardly. 

Davids eyes constricted doe a second before he resumed his grin. 

"Not really ma'm I dear not go in alone. I went together a a group of hunters but they find me pretty useless which was why they sent me back to the city." David replied with a sweet smile and shrugged. 

"Oh, okay. Did you by any chance notice any strange happenings on the forest while you were there?" the lady asked David again. 

David frowned slightly and scratched his head. "Not that I remember. But is anything suoooes to happen in the forest?" David asked in return as though worried the other hunters in the forest would be in danger. 

"No, it's nothing you should be concerned about." The lady answered and was Ed David off. 

David shrugged his shoulders and waved at them as he also left. 

If one were to look closely at his forehead, one could see tiny beads of sweat forming. If it weren't for his already pale face, others would have noticed. 

Not glancing back in the slightest, David disappeared off the street as he entered the city. 

"Asking around like this is pretty useless an dtime consuming. We should search through the entire forest for clues, those who did this will certainly not escape punishment." The man said in a deep tone. 

"Yes, you are right. The young man didn't provide any information either." The lady answered In frustration. 

Searching through the entire forest was extremely tedious since it was very large and would take more than a day to perform a thorough search. 

The lady had been intending to avoid such time wasting method but it seems that was the only option left for them. 

"That young man, I smell blood coming from him." The elderly man suddenly said. 

"He just suad he is a hunter, it would be weird if he didn't reek of blood.".The lady casually said. 

"I know, but the blood smells awfully familiar, I just can't place my finger on it." The man frowned as he gazed at the direction David had just left with. 

"Enough of this, let's go search for the body of the clan head fourth son. Staying in this damned city for much longer isn't ideal to me." The lady scowled. 

With that, she agitated her genes and a three meter long pair of wings broke free from her back, she then took for the skies immediately, not waiting for the man. 

The man continued to gaze at the direction David had taken but still could not figure our what was wrong. 

Retracting his gaze, he also agitated his gene and immediately his two legs snapped backwards like a horse's leg. 

There was no scream of pain or even a grunt. 

The man had gotten used to it which was why the pain that accompanied the use of such ability had also receeded. 

With unimaginable strength, he kicked his hoofs backwards and lept to the, bouncing through the forest with amazing agility, much like a kangaroo.

David entered through the guest room and headed straight for the room he had been to previously. 

He was deep in thought. The couple he had seen at the gate if the city might actually be looking for one of the people he had killed. 

And if David was to guess the one with the higheat probability, it would be the young man. Now how would he escape from this trouble. He couldn't request for help since he wasnt in the institute.

They would eliminate him with no hesitation once they figure out he was the one who killed the young man
