Chapter 325: Demon Dragon (2)

“Take your pick.”
Feng Qi looked at the screen. On the screen was the introduction of the four rune transformation plans.
He was no stranger to the first two.
They were Fierce Shadow and Demon Dragon.
Among them, Fierce Shadow was the choice of his previous sacrifice timeline. Not only did it increase his physical strength, but it also allowed him to obtain the stealth ability where he could liquefy his body.
In addition to these two options, there were two more choices.
They were the Lava Beast and Death Mantis.
The Lava Beast’s specialty was that its defense was extremely high and it had a long lifespan.
The characteristic of the Death Mantis was that it had extremely strong explosive power and lethal attacks.
The information also clearly stated the potential hidden dangers of these two transformation.
This was especially true for the Lava Beast. After the transformation was completed, it was very likely that it would change his life characteristics and he would become a life form that was combined with ores.
He fell into deep thought as to how to choose between the four.
After thinking for a moment, he turned to look at Wei Wei.
“Sister Wei, you know more about this than I do. Which do you think is more suitable?”
“In the previous sacrifice timeline, the direction you chose was to establish the Breaking Dawn and secretly fight against the Science and Technology Research Institute. You also investigated intelligence. Naturally, it was better to choose the Fierce Shadow with stealth abilities.”
“However, your decision in this timeline is to join the Dawn Army. Then, the main choice is to increase your overall strength. My recommendation is the Demon Dragon. This modification can also perfectly match your muscle-type combat style.”
Hearing Wei Wei’s recommendation, Feng Qi immediately nodded.
“Then let’s carry out the transformation using the Demon Dragon. Give me a shot for genetic strengthening first.”
“I’ll arrange it for you now. Go to the genetic laboratory and wait.” Wei Wei smiled and nodded. Then, she walked out of the private laboratory.
Feng Qi, who was already very familiar with the Scarlet Research Institute, walked out of the private laboratory and arrived at the genetic modification room.
While waiting, Wei Wei arrived with the genetic injection that had been modified according to his body data.
The first round of physical strengthening began.
In the following days, Feng Qi began to adapt to his body after being strengthened by the genetic fluid.
In order to better withstand the aftereffects of the rune transformation, he also began high-intensity daily training.
Such a training method could easily damage his body.
Fortunately, there was a “repair chamber” in the Scarlet Research Institute. It could quickly help him recover his physical condition after high-intensity training and start a new round of exercise.
His physical strength also increased significantly every day during training.
After training like this for a month, he underwent a detailed physical data test under Wei Wei’s arrangements.
However, the result was very unexpected. With his current physical strength, he still could not match the Demon Dragon Rune Crystal. If it was forcefully implanted, he might die.
The probability of death after the simulation was 68%.
Although the simulation results were not necessarily accurate, such a high-risk probability meant that it was clearly not suitable for the transformation to go on.
Hence, after Feng Qi’s physical examination ended, he started a new round of training.
Day after day of high-intensity training was very boring, but this difficulty was not challenging at all in Feng Qi’s eyes.
He always believed that flowers would bloom behind him only if he persevered in the ideal direction.
And its beauty and fragrance would be left for future generations.
The monk had said he was a pioneer of mankind. He preferred to call himself a trailblazer.
A trailblazer with the dream of a prosperous human race.
In the following days, under the daily high-intensity training, his physical data climbed significantly.
Another month later, when he completed another series of body tests, his body data was already close to matching the Demon Dragon Rune Crystal.
However, to be on the safe side, Wei Wei said that he still had to continue training to improve his physical strength.
Wei Wei explained to him.
“Do you know how important you are? Suppose the rune transformation that was done on you failed. It would be too cruel for us in this timeline.”
“You can change the future. It also prove that our fates in this timeline are controlled by ourselves. But if you die, what’s the point of a future where we can see the end at a glance?”
When she said this to him, Wei Wei had dark circles under her eyes. Her gaze was tired yet determined.
In order to prevent any possible risks, Wei Wei had been leading the team to conduct simulation experiments for the past two months. They often stayed up all night to study.
At that moment, Feng Qi felt the weight on his shoulders again.
In the future, it would be the path to salvation. He was no longer alone, but he was also carrying the expectations of his peers in every timeline.
After the data report was produced, Wei Wei injected him with a diluted second injection of genetic fluid,
In the following month, Feng Qi threw himself into high-intensity training again.
Through constant training, he realized that he had gradually adapted to this training method.
Every time he perspired like it was raining and was so tired that he went limp, what followed was a hearty satisfaction.
At this moment, he suddenly thought of the muscular man growth route mentioned by the narrator.
He felt that this path was indeed very suitable for him.
After three months of training, when he completed another series of physical tests, he finally reached the standard.
After a day of rest and preparation, the rune transformation began.
Lying on the operating table again, Feng Qi was mentally prepared to endure the pain.
After Wei Wei and the genetic engineers were ready, they activated the equipment on the operating table.
The metal belt automatically bound his body, restricting him tightly to the operating table.
Closing his eyes, the bright light penetrated his eyelids and turned his vision red.
When intense pain assaulted him, his muscles trembled. He did not make a sound and chose to use his will to resist the invading pain.
Apart from the physical pain, his mental world was also corroded by the Demon Dragon Rune Crystal.
This feeling was like falling into endless darkness.
There was no light or sound. All he could feel was endless silence.
Time seemed to have stopped. Every minute and second in this world was torture.
The transformation lasted for an entire day. During this period, Feng Qi’s body was injected with a large amount of energy liquid to reconcile and replenish the nutrient fluids consumed by his body.
During this process, his willpower moved all the staff who participated in the modification.
They could clearly feel his desire to live.
It also made them understand that even if some pain was beyond the limits of their bodies, their willpower could resist any pain.
Especially the mental will in one’s heart, it would never be shaken by any pain.
When the transformation was complete, Wei Wei’s voice sounded.
At this moment, Feng Qi slowly opened his eyes.
He bent and stood up. He looked down and realized that there was a black rune crystal embedded in his chest.
This rune crystal was actually beating slowly like a heart. There were blood vessels that protruded like spider webs around it, connected to the part of the crystal that was embedded in its body.
Energy was transmitted to the body through these blood vessels.
With every beat of the Demon Dragon Rune Crystal, a warm current would surge over.
“Thank you for your hard work.”
At this moment, Feng Qi turned to look at Wei Wei and the staff. Looking at their tired faces and sweat-soaked clothes, he thanked them sincerely.
Hearing this, Wei Wei smiled and waved her hand.
“You’re the one who had it the hardest. Have a good rest for the day and then undergo adaptive training. After another physical examination later, we have to go back and rest. We’re really too tired.”
“Alright.” He immediately nodded.
To be on the safe side, Wei Wei and the staff began to examine his body.
After confirming that his body was fine for the time being, Wei Wei left the laboratory with a group of staff from the genetics department.
Feng Qi also returned to his room after they left.
He went to the bathroom and washed the blood off his body. Then, he changed into his pajamas and lay on the bed.
After the transformation was completed, he was a little uncomfortable with his strength.
When he was brushing his teeth just now, he accidentally crushed the cup and also fell down into the bathroom.
Such a change clearly required adaptive training.
At this stage, he was still in the initial stage of fusing with the Demon Dragon Rune Crystal, so the Demon Dragon’s ability had yet to appear, but the infusion of power was happening in real time.
In fact, his strength could even increase with every breath.
Thinking about his worries, he, who was already very tired, lay on the bed and quickly fell asleep.
In his dream.
He led the humans at their peak to fight against thousands of domain forces. The future that had been aggrieved for countless 1,500 years finally welcomed an evenly matched war.
With pride in his heart, he clenched his fists and resolutely ran towards the endless enemies.
This is what my heart yearns and I have no regrets even if it is death that I will face..
