Chapter 266 Gene Thief
"Wow, it's actually gray light!"
"What's happening here?"
"Could it be that he has some kind of forbidden bloodline?"
After the extraordinary bloodline detector was activated, a gray beam of light appeared on Chen Qi's head.
Such an incredible turn of events instantly attracted the attention of all the candidates present.
Not only the candidates, but also the veteran students of Tianwu Conjuration Academy who gathered around were extremely surprised.
"Senior, what does the gray beam of light represent?"
"What's going on with me now?"
Chen Qi sighed depressedly, as if no matter what he did or where he went, he would become the focus of everyone's eyes.
It's just a test to see if there is extraordinary blood in the body, so why is it different from others?
To be honest, Chen Qi doesn't care at all whether he has extraordinary bloodline.
What he practiced was a new method with a bright future, and his extraordinary bloodline was the icing on the cake.
Of course, if he really has extraordinary bloodline, Chen Qi would not reject it.
Chen Qi's current attitude towards extraordinary bloodline is very Buddhist, just let it go.
…
Before entering Shengxian Island, Chen Qi still had some thoughts about the incomplete golden bloodline in his hand.
But after entering Shengxian Island and looting so many laboratories, especially after seeing Li Zhenhai who was "stuck", Chen Qi was not so enthusiastic about extraordinary bloodline.
The practice of the new method pays attention to purity. Implanting foreign things hastily will only affect the essence of one's own life and affect the purity of spirituality.
Of course, this does not mean that practicing new methods cannot lead to body transformation or the transplantation of extraordinary bloodline.
It just requires moderation and a long period of physical and spiritual training.
Generally speaking, except for those practitioners whose talents have been exhausted and whose spirituality is difficult to grow on their own, no one will choose to undergo physical transformation during their rising period.
Especially something with super-standard golden bloodline is more likely to overwhelm the body.
Chen Qi has decided on the general line of "arming himself with knowledge", and he really doesn't care about extraordinary bloodline.
But Chen Qi's Buddhist background doesn't mean that he doesn't care, he just doesn't care that much.
This gray light doesn't look like a good sign, so of course it needs to be clarified.
…
"Junior, you must relax and be open-minded."
"Your situation is a little complicated."
Wu Yingquan, who controlled the extraordinary bloodline detector, glanced at Chen Qi with a complicated expression, and then began to patiently enlighten and explain.
"There are two possibilities for the birth of the gray light pillar."
"The first one means that there was a very special gene in your body, but it disappeared later."
"As for the second type, it means that although there is extraordinary blood in your body, it is difficult to awaken it."
"There once was a true disciple in the academy who also measured the gray light beam like you did."
"As a result, he has already become a Silver Apostle, but his extraordinary bloodline still cannot be awakened."
"But this does not mean that this extraordinary bloodline that cannot be awakened is very precious and powerful. It may be an ordinary black iron-level extraordinary bloodline, but it is difficult to awaken it in your body."
"So junior fellow student, don't think too much, just think of this gray as red."
"We cultivators of the new method don't care about extraordinary bloodlines. We can still find a glorious path by relying on our own efforts."
The most painful thing in the world is not not having it.
But you once had it, but lost it without your knowledge.
Or maybe you have it now, but you can only see it from a distance and cannot touch it for the rest of your life.
Chen Qi is in such a state now.
No matter whether his situation belongs to type 1 or type 2, he might as well just flash the red light and "sentence him to death"!
The most taboo among practitioners of the new method is to get into trouble. If there is a knot in the heart that cannot be solved, problems will arise in spiritual practice sooner or later.
This is also the reason why Wu Yingquan, who explained Chen Qi in detail, had a rather complicated expression.
After all, Chen Qi was already regarded as a little genius, but he didn't expect that he would be hit hard now.
If he can't think about it himself, he may be lost to the public in the future.
This extraordinary bloodline test was a disaster for the junior student in front of him.
He might as well not have taken the test and not know the answer.
…
"I see, is it difficult to wake up?"
"Thank you, senior, for letting me know the details. I've always been very tolerant."
In the face of such "bad news", Chen Qi acted too calmly, so much so that Wu Ying doubted whether the junior student in front of him "didn't understand the meaning of his words."
Well, if you really didn't understand, it seems to be good. At least this junior can maintain his good attitude for a while longer.
Chen Qi's "accident" did not interrupt the candidates' enthusiasm for the test, and soon the red lights lit up again.
Looking at the other candidates who were "wailing incessantly", Wu Yingquan looked at the extremely calm person next to him.
People are really different!
…
As for why Wu Yingquan didn't think that Chen Qi was in the first situation, of course it was because Chen Qi's talent was so outstanding.
Generally speaking, those humans who were born with a certain special gene but lost it inexplicably have average talents, and it is even difficult for them to complete their awakening.
Of course, a little genius like Chen Qi would not be in the first situation.
However, what makes Wu Yingquan feel strange is that this junior Chen Qi seems to be very interested in special genes.
It just so happened that Wu Yingquan had a deep understanding of this aspect, and for a while, the two of them had a very speculative chat.
…
Special genes refer to a very special genome in the human gene pool.
Before human spiritual awakening, this type of genome does not contain any extraordinary factors at all.
And when humans complete spiritual awakening, under the influence of spirituality, this type of genome begins to transform and possesses some extraordinary elements.
Once its transformation is complete, it will turn into extraordinary blood.
This is the reason why humans awaken extraordinary blood.
Because special genomes do not contain any extraordinary elements at all during the ordinary period, any extraordinary means cannot detect its existence.
Therefore, in the ancient cultivation era, it is difficult to judge whether an ordinary person can awaken extraordinary blood.
And it is completely unnecessary. After spiritual awakening, everything will be clear.
The ancient cultivators are too lazy to waste their energy on ordinary people.
But in today's era, everything is different.
Due to the development of scientific and technological civilization, human exploration of the genetic field is no longer limited to extraordinary means.
Not to mention those large national laboratories, even those small and medium-sized blood mining companies have the ability to detect the genetic data of ordinary people.
Special genes, such as human genomes that can transform into extraordinary bloodlines, naturally become hot and become popular.
This is also the real reason why many blood mining companies not only collect blood, but also conduct genetic data mining.
But how to find special genomes from ordinary genes, which special genes correspond to which extraordinary bloodlines, and how to reversely deduce the corresponding special genes through a certain extraordinary bloodline, these are all thresholds.
Once all thresholds are crossed and a certain extremely valuable special gene is found, a blood mining super giant is born.
The ke consortium, one of the three major super giants in the blood mining industry, is a model of this.
The [Aphasia] genome that they exclusively control can transform into a complete golden bloodline after spiritual awakening.
You can imagine how huge the value is.
…
The plunder and transplantation of extraordinary bloodlines have always been a very troublesome thing since ancient times.
Especially in the era of the new law, it is quite taboo.
But human greed and desire are endless. Since it is difficult to transplant extraordinary blood, it is better to win at the starting line from the beginning.
If a special gene group is integrated into the body during the period of ordinary people, wouldn't it be 100% guaranteed to obtain an extraordinary blood after spiritual awakening?
It is impossible for anyone not to be tempted by such an investment in the future.
As for where the special gene comes from?
It is naturally plundered from ordinary humans with special genes.
As long as the technical level is sufficient, ordinary people may have completely lost their special genes after only a minor operation.
Even the loss of this special gene will not only have no adverse effects on their lives, but also have immediate benefits.
For example, the special gene group called aphasia. Once ordinary people have this special gene in their bodies, they will not be able to master human language.
But as long as this gene group is removed, ordinary people who were originally unable to speak can immediately communicate verbally.
It is precisely because of the special nature of the aphasia gene that the ke consortium has been so successful in its development and did not cause too much backlash in the initial stage.
...
The lack of special genes does not seem to have much harm to ordinary people.
But the premise is that they are just ordinary people for life and will not step into the extraordinary realm.
How can the lack of a set of genomes on the complete gene chain really have no adverse effects?
Genes are related to the essence of life. If there is a little omission in the essence of life, how can spirituality be complete?
Even if the spiritual awakening is successful by chance, the talent will be terrible.
This is why Wu Yingquan ruled out the first situation, because in his eyes, Chen Qi's talent is too outstanding.
…
Where there is profit, there will be trade, and where there is trade, there will be harm.
It is precisely because the profit is too huge that the blood mine company and the gene thief were born in the human world.
But the two cannot be confused at all. After all, the blood mine company believes that it is legal, and at most it has sold some human gene data.
Stealing human genes is all done by gene thieves, and it has nothing to do with them.
As for the gene thieves, they don't think they are committing crimes.
Instead, they think they are realizing the optimal allocation of human gene resources, allowing more powerful genes to be transferred to more powerful people.
They are optimizers of human genes, and they are striving to create stronger and more perfect humans.
It is reasonable to charge a small fee for the benefit of mankind.
…
"The theft and transplantation of special genes" is a secret that is generally only circulated among controllers.
It can even be said that only controllers are barely qualified to hear about it.
Not to mention ordinary people, even those extraordinary people who seem to be superior to ordinary people.
If you don't have a strong background, you can't get access to this kind of information at all.
After all, stealing the genome of ordinary humans is a taboo.
It is also a crime that the world government severely cracks down on.
It is just because this kind of theft is too secretive and the human base involved is too small, it is difficult to be discovered and it is difficult to strike at the root.
…
As the light of righteousness, the Ten Super Spell Academy often organizes people to crack down on such behavior.
Wu Yingquan is quite familiar with these things because he has participated in several missions.
According to Wu Yingquan, if you want to become a true seed in the Ten Super Spell Academy, you must have a clean background.
And the first step is to detect whether the extraordinary bloodline comes from the outside world.
The academy has a more advanced extraordinary bloodline detector. If the extraordinary bloodline possessed by the tester comes from the stolen genome of ordinary people, it will emit black light.
As for the end, anyway, this kind of person who was discovered has never appeared again.
…
Perhaps because the two of them have a deep understanding of extraordinary bloodline research, Chen Qi and Wu Yingquan are more and more speculative.
If the timing is not wrong, the two of them are afraid that they will have a drink and chat for three days and three nights.
And the reason why Chen Qi asked Wu Yingquan about the special genome is certainly not because he is bored.
But when he heard the "first situation", his talent for sensing the secrets was actually triggered.
This is a bit strange. Could it be that the reason why Chen emits gray light is because the special gene in his body was stolen by someone else?
But it shouldn't be. According to Wu Yingquan, those who have lost special genes are not only difficult to awaken spiritually, but even if they succeed in awakening spiritually, they are also poorly gifted in practicing the new method.
Although Chen Qi rarely considers himself a genius, he will never think that his talent for cultivation is poor.
What kind of situation is this?
Chen Qi recalled his past life experiences again. Since he could remember, which can be traced back to when he was one year old, he seemed to have never undergone any surgery.
Of course, there were still colds and fevers, but they were just taken with medicine.
As for the memories before the age of one, Chen Qi could not explore them clearly even in his prime.
At that time, the brain was not fully developed, and much of the information recorded was hazy and blurred.
Because there was no logic in cognition, all kinds of memories were even more bizarre, and normal people could not understand them at all.
Anyway, Chen Qi was extremely sure that if there were special genes lost in his body, it would not be after the age of one.
Could it be that he was once a peerless genius?
Because someone stole his special genes, he fell to this ordinary level now.
But all this is just Chen Qi's guess. Perhaps his talent for sensing the secrets was triggered not because of the loss of special genes, but because of other factors.
But in any case, when Chen Qi is promoted to the Silver Apostle, everything will be revealed.
After all, with Chen Qi's attainments in the power of life, if he really has any deficiencies, he will definitely be able to detect it.
Even if it is because of the second situation that the gray light is emitted, once Chen Qi is promoted to the Silver Apostle, with his attainments in extraordinary blood, he can still turn the impossible into possible.
So Chen Qi is really just a little depressed about his gray light, and it is not at all to the extent of complaining about the world and being bitter and resentful.
He, Chen, is so generous. Even if others have made mistakes to him, they only need to pay them back with their lives, and at most pay some interest.
He is a real viscount of the Tongtian Empire. Can he still let others bully him?
How embarrassing for the empire!
…
"Everyone, this operation to eliminate Coleman has come to an end."
"According to our statistics, except for Coleman and his men who left the laboratory long ago, all the others have been beheaded."
"But our action is just the beginning, and there are more things waiting for us to do later."
"Colleman's identity as a world councillor is too confusing. There are still his minions in many human settlements. These are his tentacles that must be cut off."
"Not only Coleman's minions, but also other troublemakers in human settlements must be eliminated this time."
"Senior Feng has already decided that the Tianwu Spell Academy cannot leave ordinary people alone. We must regain control and protection over human settlements."
"Speed is of the essence. Next, everyone will make a little preparation and set off immediately!"
"Since human settlements are relatively scattered, we will advance in separate forces this time."
After waiting for half an hour, Senior Caroline and the other two examiners finally arrived.
Everyone else thought that the senior was probably busy chasing Coleman. After all, although this operation was fruitful, it was not perfect.
Coleman and others actually left the laboratory two days ago. They were really cunning.
Obviously, after being backstabbed by Condra and Flora, this guy realized that something was wrong and ran away in advance.
...
Unlike the group of "ignorant people" around him, Chen Qi had his own understanding of the lateness of the three examiners.
It must be that his report letter worked!
Others may not notice it, but Chen Qi sensed the eyes of the three examiners, sweeping over Selena from time to time.
But there was more scrutiny in them, and there was not much hostility.
It seems that the three examiners don't believe the report letter, but believe in their own vision.
But it doesn't matter, the three examiners will definitely examine Selena.
As long as the three make a test, Selena will guess that she has been reported with her intelligence.
Chen Qi is looking forward to how she will react with a guilty conscience.
Even if Selina can get past Caroline and the other two, there is still Senior Feng Zining to deal with.
Chen Qi doesn’t believe Selina can hold on.
…
"Is it to root out the problem? Or to conduct a thorough investigation of the human settlement?"
Compared to Selina's doomed fate, Chen Qi was more concerned about the academy's "recovery" of the human settlement.
To be honest, if it were possible, Chen Qi didn't want to participate in the action at all.
It was because the human settlement was a bit complicated now, and the three examiners might not be able to cover it.
But this matter was not something Chen Qi could decide. More than an hour later, Chen Qi and others who had finished their repairs waited for the slowly descending Sea Kite.
It seems that Senior Sister Caroline and the others also realized the danger of the human settlement, and actually transferred the Sea Kite to take charge.
It's a pity that Senior Sister Feng Zining was busy refining treasures and did not come.
Otherwise, Chen Qi would feel much more at ease.
