Kane's Mutation

  On a moonlit night, on the rooftop of a hotel, Jest lay lazily on a thick water pipe. Two meters away from him, Michelle was gesticulating and scolding more than thirty black bats in front of her: "Look, my plan won't go wrong, didn't your second batch of people safely sneak over? Where's the hardship... Hmph, your previous leader spoiled you too much, where are the elite and strongest vampire warriors?"

  "It only took a moment to squeeze onto the plane from London, and you're already complaining about how tiring it is? It's utterly humiliating for our vampire race! I don't want to hear such words again, got it? Oh, by the way, that drug-addicted moron next to me is your new leader, so remember his face, or you might end up sucking him dry when you're looking for food."

  Jester forced a smile and waved at the thirty or so bats with wrinkled skin, asking Miroku in puzzlement, "How much budget did they give you? Huh? You're going to pinch pennies like this? Isn't that a bit too much?" Jester also couldn't bear what Miroku called 'vampire urban survival training'. So-called survival training was simply not giving them any money and letting the hundred vampires find their own place to sleep in New York, and find someone they liked to suck blood from for food.

  About thirty vampires heard Jester's question and burst into a loud roar in their hearts: "Praise the Lord, damn it, you little bastard still have a conscience."

  Misty gazed at Jester with sparkling eyes: "Funding? Funding has given me a lot, one hundred subordinates, their annual budget is eight million US dollars, and if there are overseas actions, there will be subsidies too. We have many companies."

  Jester raised his right hand and looked at Michelle with a weird expression: "So what's the point of saving like this? It's not your money anyway, 8 million, you can have them all stay in five-star hotels if you want."

  Meng Xue hummed: "But the rule is, 40% of the annual savings can be taken as a bonus at the end of the year... I've always been helped by others to buy things since I was young, and I didn't have any money in my hands, it's so pitiful... This time I saved 8 million, and at the end of the year, I'll get more than 3 million as a bonus."

  Jester's head fell off from the water pipe, and several of those vampires were also unable to stand firm, their wings trembling as they crashed to the ground.

  Mitsy said matter-of-factly: "What's wrong with that? It's only right. The money is in my hands, so it's up to me how I spend it."

  Jester growled in a low voice: "You got over three million, where's the rest of the money?"

  Meng Xue'er blinked: "The remaining? The council stipulates that 60% of the remaining amount at the end of the year must be handed over as next year's expenses."

  Jester glared at Michele: "You idiot, you can take away four million now and give the other four million to these poor little bats. Are you going to die? You can also get an additional eight hundred thousand."

  Mishelle shook her head desperately: "Will they agree? I took half of their money."

  More than 30 bats nodded desperately, shouting wildly: "We agree, we agree, half the money is nothing, it's just a tribute to you." According to the Dark Council's rules, subordinates sent on missions are strictly forbidden from resisting their superiors. How dare they argue with Michelle? Taking the money and quickly improving their lives was the real deal. Poor things, they were all high-ranking warriors among vampires. If they really ended up having to wander around New York for a living because of Michelle, it would be laughed at by their peers.

  Mishelle giggled and drew a cross with her right middle finger, saying: "So, no backing out, okay... If you back out, hum, the killer of the Philippe family will cut off all your heads."

  Jester's eyes almost popped out, is this little girl crazy? You threaten others with force and embezzle for yourself, but a teenager makes such a gesture... But it seems that Jester himself taught her this gesture.

  Two tall, slender figures in black tight-fitting clothes with extremely toned muscles stood far away on a high-rise building a kilometer away, watching the scene unfold. The ancient magic of the Philippe family allowed them to hear everything Michelle and the others were saying.

  The guy with a huge scar on his face groaned softly: "Great God Satan, is it okay for the young lady to do this? What's going on? If we tell the king, he'll be furious."

  "What can we do? Our mission is to secretly protect the young lady, and nothing else matters... Those despicable vampires should know their place, didn't we already give them half of the money? If they dare report this to the higher-ups, I'll break every bone in their bodies."

  It turns out that Moxi's corruption of funds is related to her family environment... Does such a thing happen in an ordinary person's family?

  Under the starlight, another batch of nearly twenty black bats flew over with a flutter of their wings. Misher muttered: "Okay, wait for you all to arrive and then go withdraw cash, give each of you $40,000... Is that too much? $40,000 can buy many things, you will get sick from eating too much... Give half first."

  Jester's marijuana fell to the ground with a 'thud', completely speechless.

  Misty and Jester were disciplining those poor subordinates on the rooftop, while Feli was already asleep with a big pillow in her arms. Yichen sat on the railing of the balcony, his two feet hanging in the air over 80 meters above the ground, comfortably smoking a cigar.

  News from the UK is not bad, if I'm not mistaken, Mr. Zhang and his team provided the media with news that a group of British soldiers mysteriously appeared on Russian territory, and exposed the inside story that the British government was preparing to use a huge unfair trade to shut Russia up. The current cabinet in the UK has collapsed, the Prime Minister resigned amidst a chorus of abuse, and immediately went to Switzerland, saying he was going for a medical check-up.

  An interim cabinet was also formed, and as expected, the acting prime minister is Huna. The other two major forces seem to have reached a compromise with Huna, and their people are also participating in the formation of the interim cabinet. As expected, Huna will formally take office.

  Yi Chen puffed on his cigar, thinking about the plans after completing the New York mission. First and foremost was to expand the scale of "Black Magic" company. Although they currently had over 300 elite soldiers, compared to those old and powerful companies, "Black Magic" wasn't anything special... Money wasn't a problem, Chikov had been busy recently, another batch of fake credit cards would soon be circulating in mainland Europe. Other businesses were also yielding good profits, money was no issue.

  "Hmm, Cain is good at fighting, but when it comes to other things, he's a bit too unreliable. He's basically useless in most areas and needs more training. Speaking of which, among my subordinates, the only ones I can rely on are Filia and Cain. He doesn't have any complicated thoughts in his head, so he's the most reliable. Jester is desperate for revenge, Chikov has too many desires, and Phil and Goll brothers are too emotional... these are all weaknesses."

  Thought of Cain, Yi Chen suddenly jumped up, wearing a pair of slippers, quietly walked out of his suite, walked to the corridor opposite Cain's room, gently knocked on the door, and said in a low voice: "Cain, it's me, open the door."

  The door was opened immediately, and Yichen walked in. Only wearing a pair of underwear, Cain held a handgun in his hand, and on the coffee table in front of the sofa in the living room, there were still some gun parts scattered around, he was indeed busy with his favorite thing again.

  Yi Chen tilted his head and scanned Cain's granite-like muscles, nodding. Cain looked at his own body in surprise, blinking: "Boss, nothing's wrong with me, right?"

  Yi Chen hastily shook his head and said with a smile: "Kain, you know about Mr. Chekhov's changes, don't you?"

  Kane nodded and said with a smile: "Chekhov is a genius, his brain is clever, so he has achieved what he is today, I'm not."

  Yi Chen pouted, grabbing Kain's wrist pulse with one hand. A strand of true yuan energy spread through Kain's meridians... Kain instinctively felt a slight burning sensation throughout his body. Yi Chen's face changed as he growled in a low voice: "Kain, you're a big idiot! Didn't I give you the incantation before you went to Italy? You haven't practiced it at all!"

  Kane hastily raised his hand, blinked a few times and said solemnly: "Boss, I've practiced it, I really have practiced it. But when I sat down in that strange way you told me to, closed my eyes, I fell asleep and couldn't find the 'qi' you were talking about."

  Yi Chen was taken aback, and Kain said he had practiced, so he really had practiced. However, someone who can fall asleep with one knee bent is not suitable for practice at all... But no matter what, he must be made to practice, otherwise, in the future when everyone's strength has improved, leaving him alone relying on his innate talent would make him the weakest link within their own organization, and this was something that absolutely could not happen.

  Yi Chen pushed Kain to the center of the living room, forcing him to sit cross-legged. Kain awkwardly shifted his buttocks, and with great difficulty, he managed to sit properly, looking pitifully at Yi Chen and saying: "Boss, I'm really not suited for playing these smart people's games, as soon as I sit like this, I feel sleepy."

  Too lazy to reason with Cain's complaints, Yi Chen snatched the gun that Cain had tightly grasped in his hand and tossed it onto the sofa. With an entrancing glint in his eyes, he spoke in a voice that was almost hypnotic: "Alright, no more complaining, Cain. Follow the incantation I taught you and use your own spirit to find the yuanqi within your body. Imagine them circulating along the simplest route."

  Kane closed his eyes, gritted his teeth, and concentrated on recalling the incantation that Yidun had forcibly instilled in his mind. His spirit searched within his body for the mysterious primordial energy.

  Kane gritted his teeth in frustration: "The boss said something about primordial energy, saying it's made up of one's innate primordial energy forming a cycle, attracting the power of the stars in the sky, and then you can become a superhuman... Do I have primordial energy? How come I couldn't find it?" Kane strained his entire body, causing his joints to crackle with a "crackling" sound, almost startling Yichen.

  "What's wrong with Kayne? People who cultivate the Tao are supposed to be calm and peaceful, their energy flowing naturally. Why do you look like you're fighting someone? Can't you even feel your own vital energy? Dammit, people who don't know any better would think you've gone crazy... What the hell is going on?"

  Yi Chen's figure flashed quickly to the back of Cain, stretching out his right hand and lightly sticking it to the muscle knot on his back, saying in a low voice: "Cain, recall the incantation, use your spirit to search for those things that can flow with warmth in those few meridians." Yi Chen's palm was slightly warm, and a strand of faint true yuan slowly entered Cain's most primitive circulating meridians, attempting to stir his vital energy.

  Kane's brow furrowed in concentration as he followed Yichun's whispered instructions, his mind tracing the faint warmth that flowed through those few meridians, but that thread of heat had already circulated countless times within them, and yet he still hadn't discovered anything.

  "Damn it, according to common sense, unless it's that kind of physique that has been damaged to the extreme, there should be a natural innate energy existing in the body. But Kayn... his physical strength is tens of times stronger than others, and his innate energy should also be tens of times stronger. How can he have endured for so long without any feeling? The meridians are also empty, my true yuan seems to be flowing through stone."

  "Damn it, the meridians of an ordinary person should be unobstructed if my true yuan passes through. How can Kayne's meridians feel like pouring true yuan into granite? Is this too absurd? Could it be... could it be that Kayne's innate yuan qi is so strong that it naturally condensed into a physical form? Taishang Daozun, if that's the case, what kind of monster will Kayne become?"

  Yi Chen's forehead was sweating, recalling what his master Tian Xianzi had told him before: "Our Tiān Xīng Sect has a legendary genius who is not of this world. That senior was truly formidable, with meridians that flowed like water and an innate aura that made his cultivation progress astonishingly fast. In just three hundred years, he ascended to the Immortal Realm. Unfortunately, he had a simple mind and didn't achieve anything earth-shattering. Apart from our sect members, no one else knows about him. If we're talking about strength, in over a thousand years, he's the only one who has rivaled our founder."

  Yi Chen tensed up and swallowed a mouthful of saliva. This freak monster wouldn't let itself get caught, would it? The stronger one's innate yuan energy was, the more powerful the true yuan circulation formed afterwards, and the greater the attraction to star power would be. It was like a whirlpool - the stronger the whirlpool's own power, the more things it could devour. Cultivating it would be at least twice as effective, if not more. Especially for people with simple minds, they wouldn't easily go crazy from cultivation, and had an extremely great advantage from the start.

  Cain looked back pitifully, drenched in sweat and said: "Boss, I've been searching for a long time, but I didn't find that thing called yuanqi. Maybe I don't have yuanqi? Don't waste your time... I'm Cain, a stupid person, can't do anything."

  Yi Chen scolded: "Nonsense! A person without vitality is a dead man... Kayne, can you endure the pain?"

  Kane burst out laughing: "Boss, I was once hit by a 35-caliber shell and I didn't even yell."

  Yi Chen looked at him seriously: "This time's pain may be transmitted from inside your body, you must endure it, Kayn. You might be the most talented one among all my subordinates... I didn't notice this before, but perhaps even you yourself don't know that your body is a great treasure."

  Kane was stunned for half a day: "Boss, apart from being thick-skinned and not afraid of fighting, I don't have any other advantages. The first time I saw you and Jester, I was beaten by Jester to the point where I couldn't get up for a week."

  Yi Chen smiled faintly: "Perhaps in the future, you will be able to beat Jester until he can't get up... Alright, remember those meridians from earlier, okay? Endure all the pain, endure, Cain, endure. Then when you have a feeling later, follow the route of my true yuan's circulation and move those things around, understand?"

  Kane blinked, nodded heavily, closed his eyes tightly, but forgot to put his hands in the correct position, and randomly waved them around until Yichun corrected him.

  Yì chén also closed his eyes, both hands stuck to Kǎi ēn's back, his whole heart sank into the small universe inside his body. The star core rotated rapidly under the drive of divine thought, and hundreds of silver light balls were thrown out, following Yì chén's meridians and shooting out, rushing into Kǎi ēn's body.

  Yi Chen's method was simple, but also very dangerous. He would directly use his own powerful True Yuan force to shatter Cain's condensed Prenatal True Qi, just like placing a pile of explosives on the frozen Yellow River. When one piece of ice was shattered, the entire river surface would start a chain reaction, and all the ice layers would crack open...

  Yi Chen was shocked to discover that Kayne's yuanqi was simply terrifying, those who had not undergone training were fundamentally on a different level from their own first cycle of six-star power, and almost rebounded the light ball he shot out.

  Yi Chen's entire body was shrouded in a layer of silver aura, with orbs shooting out one after another, crazily shaking the substantial innate yuanqi within Cain's meridians.

  Kane's entire body shook violently, his vital energy automatically mobilizing to resist Yichen's attack. His muscles twitched involuntarily under the shock of the meridians, his whole body drenched in sweat, his muscles twisted and aching with pain.

  Cain was indeed a man of iron, biting his teeth to endure the pain that would have killed an ordinary person.

  Yi Chen suddenly discovered that his true yuan ball couldn't shake off the primordial energy inside Cain's body. If he used too little force, it would have no effect at all. But if he used too much force, he might end up blowing Cain to smithereens. Yi Chen was so frustrated, and without caring about anything else, he thought that Cain's abnormal physique should be able to withstand it anyway. Yi Chen withdrew his left hand and pointed his right hand like a sword at the back of Cain's heart. The extremely sharp and piercing sword energy from the Flying Star Sword shot out gently.

  Kane's body shook violently, his internal energy finally unable to withstand the power of the Tianxing Sect's artifact. A faint "Boom" sound echoed out as a small piece of his condensed prenatal energy shattered, and then, like a nuclear chain reaction, his powerful prenatal energy completely shattered, bursting forth from his body like a raging Yellow River.

  Yi Chen's right palm hastily stuck on, a strong surge of true yuan forced its way past, protecting Kain's most vulnerable heart pulse.

  Every meridian in Cain's body seemed to have a raging fire burning within, with wisps of steam emanating from his skin, making him look intimidating. If not for the clear circle at his heart, Cain suspected he would be burned alive.

  Yi Chen sank his voice: "Operate."

  Kane was also driven to desperation, the amount of body fluid he lost in an instant was almost equivalent to what an athlete would consume after running several thousand meters. His simple mind, with a single and focused spirit, stirred up those crazy primordial energies to start circulating along a few most primitive meridians.

  These rampaging yuanqi are colliding with each other, and there is no way out. Cain's divine thought has guided an extremely weak strand of yuanqi to enter his dantian through a simple cycle, and suddenly a part of the meridian relaxed, these yuanqi that had nowhere to go rushed past, and didn't need Cain to think too much, they naturally followed the circulation route guided by Cain's divine thought, starting the most primitive small universe circulation route.

  Kane took less than ten seconds to get the mighty yuanqi in his body running along the most standard original circulation route, and as soon as the small universe inside him took shape, it immediately pulled out the infinite cosmic power outside the void, and the first strand of star power had slowly wrapped around.

  Just as a whirlpool grows larger, its attractive force becomes stronger. Similarly, the ancient and rare powerful yuanqi that Kain had formed into a cycle was rapidly absorbing the external stellar energy. When Yidun felt his own true yuan start to vibrate, he became slightly frightened and flew out five meters away. By then, Kain was like a black hole, with sharp silver lights flashing outside his body as he charged into it with a whooshing sound.

  Yi Chen's divine sense quickly swept through, but he found that Kayne had already completed the ordinary person's three to five years of hard work in just three to five minutes. He directly broke through from the original cycle to the realm of six-star power, and those powerful star powers within Kayne's body were already showing a tendency to condense into substance.

  Yi Chen slapped himself heavily on the mouth, and according to Caine's development trend, maybe in just over a hundred years, he could reach the top of the 'Star Gathering' boundary? What kind of monster did he create after all? Or, what kind of monster was Caine anyway?

  Yi Chen stared blankly at Cain, who seemed to have grown countless silver spikes all over his body, her mind a complete blank.

  Kane's innate energy had reached its peak, frantically and greedily absorbing the star power from outside. Kaine's body was also being rapidly transformed, in an instant, if his muscles were granite before, they had now become iron blocks.

  Yi Chen let out a sigh, shook his head lightly, and indeed, people are envious of others, and it's suffocating. He had already been beaten by Jester and Chekhov many times, but if they knew about Cain's progress, they would probably be shocked to the point of dropping their jaws.

  In just two short hours, Kain had already broken through to and stabilized at the upper level of six-star power. With a bit more time, he would be able to reach the realm of twelve yuan zhen.

  Kane slowly opened his eyes, got up dizzily and blinked: "Boss, what's wrong? Was I having a fever just now? Damn it, it felt like there was a volcano burning in my stomach, luckily it seemed to be constantly cooling down with water, now I feel comfortable."

  Yi Chen smiled and asked him: "How are you feeling now?"

  Kane flexed his body, and a loud cracking sound echoed through the air as he threw a punch. Yi Chen was shocked and quickly flashed in front of Kain, joining his hands together to grab the silver fist wind, scolding in a low voice: "Damn it, who told you to fight wildly?" Yi Chen's true yuan surged within him, forcibly dissipating Kain's powerful punch that could have destroyed a wall.

  Kane's mouth was agape, almost scared to death: "Boss, I...I've been possessed by a demon, how come every punch I throw has light in it?"

  Yi Chen gritted his teeth and stared at Cain, it seemed that he still had to give him a crash course on the basics. At least, he had to tell him that these abilities couldn't be used recklessly... Alas, if Cain had reached his current level back then, what kind of monster would he have become? Could he have taken down the White House with one punch? It wasn't impossible, was it?

  When Cain began to absorb the first wisp of star power, Michelle on the rooftop and those vampires were stunned for a moment. Michelle looked up at the sky and muttered: "It's strange, I feel something is wrong, the moon's power has changed, are there beastmen awakening nearby? Those stinky guys, humph..."

  Jester clearly felt the cheers and jumps of the star power around him, and at the same time, he also felt that there was someone in this building who was absorbing the star power like a black hole. Jester was shocked and asked himself: "Who the hell is it? This speed of absorbing star power is more than thirty times his own! Is it the boss? Only the boss can do this... But why isn't he fighting with anyone else? What the hell, could it be that Ferrie has drained the boss's energy and now needs to replenish it urgently? ...Damn, it's possible..."

  The next morning, Cain appeared in front of everyone, and he had completely changed. The muscles on his body seemed to have thinned out a bit, but the intimidation factor was even greater... Michelle whispered: "What's wrong with Cain? Did he take some kind of stimulant? Wow, he looks like a moving mountain!"

  Fei Li said with a smile: "Haha, boss says Kayne's strength has increased, huh, today when we go shopping, he can carry more things... Hehe."

  Chekhov shriveled up on the spot, and he also learned from Yidun's mouth about Cain's transformation. He had originally intended to bully Cain a bit, to retaliate against Cain for often using high-pressure water jets to "shower" himself, but now Cain had miraculously surpassed him by an entire level, while he was still only at the primitive cycle stage - could he still bully him?

  Yi Chen smiled and instructed, "Feili, Mixue'er, Sally go shopping. Kayn, Feili wants you to be her bodyguard, take good care of Miss Mixue'er, got it? I'll take Phil and others to visit Mr. John with Fata Dio, huh?"

  Everyone nodded and dispersed. Fatiao didn't come out until he almost kicked his door open in Jiest, then lazily hugged two chicks and handed each of them a stack of cash, saying to Yichen with a sly smile: "Sorry, I was too tired last night."

  Yi Chen rudely flipped up his middle finger: "Fatadio, that's enough. Be careful or Mr. Ya will know you're still messing around in New York and when you get back he'll... Ka Cha."

  Fata Dio was taken aback and burst out laughing.
