A howl echoed through the air, deep and penetrating, as if it swept away all the murkiness from within one's heart.
"Could it be that the Mastiff King has awakened?" Da Qiang said. As soon as he spoke, the dazzling light gradually subsided, and a sense of fear crept into everyone's hearts, dreading that when they turned around, they would see the Mastiff King standing there. But Tang Feng was different; even if Wang Chao were dead, he would protect the others. This was a promise between men, an unspoken understanding with Wang Chao.
"Wang Chao!" Just as Tang Feng drew his Tang Dao and turned to look, he realized that the sound did not come from the Mastiff King but from Wang Chao himself. He saw that Wang Chao's body was well-defined, with no excess flesh. He appeared more graceful and handsome than ever before; it looked like Wang Chao but also somewhat different.
Yang Mengying found it strange as well. She had been intimate with Wang Chao and knew his details perhaps better than he did himself. It was clear that Wang Chao had changed; if she had to describe it in one word, it would be that he seemed to have become more perfect.
Wang Chao stretched lazily, feeling as if he had just awakened from a long dream that felt like a century. He then looked up at everyone and saw their astonished faces staring back at him. Confused, Wang Chao shrugged; it wasn't surprising that they were bewildered. His eyes were changing rapidly—Brass, Silver, Gold, Platinum—until they reached Platinum Mid-Tier.
Then something unexpected happened: Wang Chao's eyes shifted down from Platinum to Gold, then Silver, Brass, and finally lost all color, turning completely black. How could this not shock everyone? Although Wang Chao knew he had been asleep, he didn't know for how many days. When he glanced down, he realized with embarrassment that he was completely bare.
After putting on his clothes and gear again, he found the Panlong Blade securely wrapped. Everyone knew that only Wang Chao could wield this blade; for others, it would be nearly impossible to control. After unwrapping it and strapping the Panlong Blade onto his back and donning the Spatial Ring, Wang Chao felt that the space in the Spatial Ring had increased significantly; it would be hard to fill it up unless he intended to store a mountain inside.
"Gao Rui, what exactly is going on with me now? My strength is indeed at Platinum Level, but my eyes are completely black..."
Gao Rui scratched his head before replying, "You have completely fused with the Mastiff King's genetic abilities. Remember the last moment you fought against the Mastiff King? Its eyes changed like a rainbow, right?"
How could Wang Chao forget? It was precisely because of that sudden mutation of the Mastiff King that he ended up in this state, nearly facing death. He blurted out, "How could I not remember?"
"Exactly!" Gao Rui slapped his dirty thigh and continued, "You inherited its abilities to control genes. When you killed those monsters back then, you must have noticed their pupils were different colors: red, yellow, blue, green, and black. But in the end, the Mastiff King could change its pupil color; this means it had broken through its own limits and reached a state of self-combination. That's why it was so formidable!"
"You should have inherited its abilities," Gao Rui said. "Theoretically speaking, if you do it right, you should be able to reorganize your genes. This means if you find the right method, transforming into a bird or a dog wouldn't be a problem. However, this requires extensive knowledge and ability in gene recombination; if you're not careful, you might end up as a freak. But there's plenty of time ahead; just remember your own genes. No matter what you become in the future, you'll always be able to revert back."
"Wow, what the hell," Wang Chao exclaimed, unable to believe his ears at Gao Rui's words. It felt like he had just heard the biggest joke in the world; he couldn't fathom that this was the ultimate form of life.
"That's all theoretical," Gao Rui replied. "But you can start with something simpler. For instance, you could change the color of your eyes to any shade below Platinum Mid-Tier. That should be the most basic thing to do. Let's start with that. By the way, I need to research the possibilities and developments of gene recombination. I'll have to experiment on you later, haha!"
As he spoke, Gao Rui patted his backside and swayed left and right, his tattered clothes flapping about. This left Wang Chao speechless. Gao Rui was only five or six years older than him, and Wang Chao couldn't decide whether to label him a madman or a genius. Nevertheless, Wang Chao attempted to change his eye color. At first, it felt awkward, but as he gained mastery over it, he was able to change it at will.
"By the way!" Wang Chao said to those nearby, "It's been so long, and we still haven't seen Shen Zhitao. What is Queen doing? Is she on a blind date?"
Upon hearing Wang Chao's words, Tang Feng's face flushed red as he replied, "Wang Chao, to be honest..."
He then recounted in detail how Shen Zhitao had been abducted that day.
"What? You mean Shen Zhitao was taken by Zhuang Peng?" Wang Chao frowned.
"That's right!" Tang Feng confirmed.
Wang Chao fell silent. After hearing everything, he realized that Shen Zhitao's abduction was entirely his responsibility—half because he had fallen into a coma and couldn't act, and half because Shen Zhitao had wanted to protect herself and didn't dare bring Zhuang Peng back to the main group. Upon further inquiry, he learned that he had been unconscious for over two weeks, during which there had been no news of Shen Zhitao.
"I'll handle this myself. How's the situation in Safe Zone?" Wang Chao resolved to find Shen Zhitao himself and turned to Xiao Wei.
"Everything is going well. The trade with the East is about to begin; both sides are clearing the roads between them. You'll need to negotiate in person when the time comes. But don't worry; once we find Sister Shen Zhitao, I'll discuss this matter with you again. By the way, while clearing the roads, we managed to locate about a thousand Survivors; that number is still increasing. Both industrial and agricultural sectors are back on track. In short, everything is developing positively."
This was probably the only good news Wang Chao had heard since waking up. He nodded and said, "Good job; keep it up. By the way, Tang Feng, did Zhuang Peng leave anything behind? We can't just search around like headless chickens."
"Anything?" Tang Feng pondered for a moment before replying, "No, not really. Oh, by the way, I brought back the Bone Arrow."
