Super Gene Ⅱ: Evolution

Although the Contrarian had the same innate abilities as Lin Shen, she lacked his skill techniques and the Fire Seed ability.

Her actual combat strength was even less than Lin Shen's, and she couldn't receive the enhancement from War Song, so how could she possibly combat Changhen Dongli? Coming out was tantamount to delivering herself to death.

Once the Life Base was destroyed, restoration was far from a simple matter, and even Lin Shen himself would be severely injured.

As Lin Shen pondered, the Contrarian had already condensed into form, her carapace virtually identical to Lin Shen's. Super-Base Change, Super Base Pattern, Super Reconstitution, and Super Form were all activated.

Apart from a more feminine figure, she was almost an exact replica of Lin Shen.

Both Changhen Donglis were slightly surprised to see the Contrarian emerge, thinking that Lin Shen might have a similar cloning ability. One of them unsheathed his weapon and without hesitation rushed to kill the Contrarian.

Yet the Contrarian had no intention of fighting him. With a flicker of her figure, she rushed back into Lin Shen's body.

Lin Shen immediately felt frustrated, "Are you out to make a joke? Showing up for a moment only to flee back."

Just as he was brooding, Lin Shen suddenly felt something off about his body.

The splendid glow on the carapace became more intense, with the Super Base Pattern's light becoming almost blinding. Find more chapters on My Virtual Library Empire

Lin Shen could distinctly feel the power from the World's Force absorbed by the Super Base Pattern surging dramatically, as if he'd suddenly switched to a high-power water pump, the World's Force furiously pouring into his body.

His body became even more crystal clear, entirely radiant with silver light, dazzling to the eyes.

The movements of the two Changhen Donglis seemed to have slowed down in his vision; Lin Shen found that he could now keep up with their speed.

"So the Contrarian can be used this way too!" Lin Shen was both shocked and delighted; he realized that the Contrarian had enhanced all his innate abilities and attributes.

The amount of World's Force the Super Base Pattern absorbed had increased, the attributes added by the Super Base Form were more substantial, the enhancement to the body provided by Super-Base Change had also grown stronger, and the Recast (Talent) speed from Super-Base Recast had quickened.

Lin Shen, who previously had difficulty contending with Changhen Dongli, suddenly found himself almost able to face him head-on.

Aside from being unable to block his dark light, there was almost no gap between their attributes.

With the disadvantage in attributes gone, his ability to recover and the speed of energy absorption had increased.

Lin Shen felt his pressure instantly lessen; his wounds rapidly healed, and Death Powder in his hand worked like a charm, managing to repel both Changhen Donglis momentarily.

Lin Shen's strength, combined with the inherent power and skill of Death Powder and a burst of Super-Base Instantaneous Speed, made evasion difficult for Changhen Dongli.

Changhen Dongli, after all, was a monster with innumerable memories and experiences, and he quickly stabilized the situation, once again overpowering Lin Shen.

Although Lin Shen no longer suffered from a major disadvantage in attributes, there was still a qualitative difference in strength and at the Nirvana Level, making it hard for him to compete head-on, so he had to rigidly withstand the onslaught with Death Powder.

The real advantage was that, with sufficient attributes, using Scrap Sword to block Changhen Dongli's dark light didn't put him at such a disadvantage anymore—it no longer sent him flying as before, placing him essentially on an even playing field with Changhen Dongli.

"Contrarian, you're awesome," Lin Shen brandished the Scrap Sword, blocking a black blade of light from Changhen Dongli, and retreated only a few steps.

With Death Powder in one hand and Scrap Sword in the other, Lin Shen staunchly defended against the combined attacks of the two Changhen Donglis.

However, as Changhen Dongli became more familiar with the tactics of Death Powder, it became increasingly difficult for Death Powder to take them by surprise, and the strain on Lin Shen grew.

Years of battle experience and techniques, still seemed too simplistic compared to the inheritance of count generations of skills and strategies Changhen Dongli possessed.

"If I knew the Celestial Unity Skill, I could compete with them in technique, Changhen Dongli and his ilk, otherwise, no matter how strong my techniques are, given enough time, they would be decoded..." Lin Shen's thoughts raced, and suddenly he had a flash of inspiration.

The defensive posture he practiced was useless against the two Changhen Donglis, but that didn't mean the Bloodlife Blade Skill was entirely without merit.

Trading blow for blow, blood for blood, was not suitable for the current situation, but the defensive postures of the Bloodlife Blade Skill still held up.

Lin Shen felt that he could change his strategy, since he couldn't deter them with a life-for-life approach, he might as well directly break through his dark light.

Previously, Lin Shen had used the body of the Scrap Sword to block the dark light, and the force on Scrap Sword made Lin Shen himself quite uncomfortable.

When the dark light came again, Lin Shen sliced through it with the edge of his blade.

Scrap Sword had no sharpened edge and no sharp blade for slicing people.

But when the dark light collided directly, even a blade as dull as Scrap Sword's had a certain ability to slice.

The instant Scrap Sword hit the dark light, Lin Shen also pulled it back in a sawing motion, and unexpectedly, he managed to slice through the dark light.

It was less of a slice and more of a sawing or grating, a technique unexpectedly effective.

Changhen Dongli, seeing his strike of dark light fail to push Lin Shen back, revealed a look of astonishment.

Lin Shen, on the other hand, was thrilled beyond expectation, never imagining that his understanding of Scrap Sword's unique properties would prove so effective.

Lin Shen used the move again and actually managed to saw through the dark light emitted by Changhen Dongli once more, and the Scrap Sword itself remained undamaged.

Changhen Dongli had increased his power this time, however, and Lin Shen was still forced back several steps by the force.

Far from being alarmed, Lin Shen was delighted. This proved the move was truly effective. Although this defensive technique was exclusive to Scrap Sword, it turned out to be exceptionally powerful.

Lin Shen continued to use the Bloodlife Blade Skill, defending and slicing through Changhen Dongli's dark light, becoming more proficient with each use, and slicing through the dark light more easily.

This sawing or grating blade technique, as executed by Lin Shen, became increasingly unpredictable. The Bloodlife Blade Skill also changed due to Scrap Sword's characteristic, making Lin Shen's defense more and more meticulous.

Lin Shen, who had been at a disadvantage, gradually started to turn the tide.

With Scrap Sword primarily for defense and Death Powder for offense, Lin Shen managed to seize an opportunity after blocking a barrage of attacks from the two Changhen Donglis. A shot of True Extreme Slaying Evil Death Light hit the arm of one Changhen Dongli.

This Changhen Dongli had come from the Life Base, and as his arm was pierced, the same spot on the other Changhen Dongli's arm also manifested an identical wound.

With one successful move, Lin Shen switched from defense to attack. Guarded by the Bloodlife Blade Skill and aided by the bizarre techniques of Death Powder, for a moment he kept both Changhen Donglis at bay, making it difficult for them to close in.

Changhen Dongli evidently had not expected his Power of Nirvana to be broken by an Ascension Level human, which was utterly inconceivable.

"Human, I am growing more and more satisfied with your body. I have decided; your body will be mine," one Changhen Dongli suddenly withdrew from the fray, leaving only one to fight against Lin Shen.

The attacks from Death Powder hit this Changhen Dongli but seemed incapable of injuring him.

The Changhen Dongli that had withdrawn lit up, his dark carapace gradually turning from black to white like an energy-saving lamp turned on. His entire carapace emitted a glowing white light.
