Super Gene Ⅱ: Evolution

Given the number of Crystal-based Creatures and the ferocity of the battle, even if his pets were strong, it would be difficult for them to emerge unscathed and to achieve such a terrifying victory.

However, when Lin Shen saw Lin Miao, he couldn\'t help but be taken aback.

Just as Lin Miao landed on the ground, a golden phoenix with three pairs of wings was slowly spreading its feathers, unwrapping around Lin Miao.

After setting Lin Miao down, the Six-Winged Phoenix circled her in a spiraling dance, growing smaller and smaller, until it became a tiny egg-shaped Spirit Base in Lin Miao\'s hands. The grey patterns of the Six-Winged Phoenix within lost their luster; it was the same Spirit Base that Lin Shen had seen before.

Lin Shen was greatly surprised in his heart. Theoretically, a Spirit Base should only function when activated by an Ascender.

The Spirit Base left by Wan Nianbei was defective, an unsuccessful remnant that had not yet fully formed.

For a defective Spirit Base to activate on its own, and even possess a will of its own, was simply incredible.

"Big sister, what\'s going on?" Lin Shen walked over and asked Lin Miao.

Lin Miao, holding the Six Paths Phoenix Spirit Base, recounted the recent events.

Lin Shen was silently startled. The intelligence of these Base Variant Creatures truly could not be underestimated; they had set up such a deadly trap.

Thankfully, the Six Paths Phoenix Spirit Base was there, otherwise, their plot might have succeeded.

"No wonder the Wan Family, no matter what, wanted to retrieve this Spirit Base. It seems the Spirit Base left by Wan Nianbei is no ordinary item," thought Lin Shen, mistakenly assuming that was why the Wan Family wanted the Spirit Base back.

In any case, with the Six Paths Phoenix Spirit Base, Lin Miao\'s safety was secured. It wouldn\'t be so easy for the Ascenders to target her now.

Without the need to look after Lin Miao, Lin Shen could now fully focus on battling Wan Guotao and the other Ascenders from the Wan Family.

Although Lin Shen had only seen Wan Guotao and another Ascender, he was mentally prepared to face the whole Wan Family in the future.

What he didn\'t know was that there were twelve more Ascenders from the Wan Family outside the Sea Corn Base.

Fortunately, those twelve Ascenders were wary of entering Sea Corn Base, which provided Lin Shen with an opportunity.

"Sis, go ahead and try to communicate with the Six Paths Phoenix, and try to master it as much as possible," Lin Shen suggested to Lin Miao, while he examined his newly acquired abilities after advancing to Crystal Base.

During his advancement to Crystal Base using the Primeval Eggs, his Base Mutation Carapace underwent another transformation.

The design of the carapace became more angular and distinct, and while still black in color, it had turned into a semi-transparent black-grey crystal.

The hieroglyphic patterns were still there but were less conspicuous, as if they were embedded inside the black-grey crystal.

From the outside, the changes to the Base Mutation Carapace didn\'t seem especially significant, nowhere as drastic as the changes during the alloy upgrade.

But Lin Shen was well aware that the enhancement brought by advancing to Crystal Base was no less than the upgrade to alloy.

User: Super-Base Crystal-based Creature (evolvable)

Strength: 55.

Speed: 41.

Toughness: 41.

Toughness: 41.

Base Mutation Rate: One percent.

Theoretical Active Lifespan Limit: 400.

Base Change Talent: Super Base Change, Super Base Pattern, Super-Base Recast.

Super-Base Recast: Power that cannot kill you will eventually make you stronger, all pain and ordeal shall become the foundation on which you rebuild your glory.

Lin Shen felt very fortunate that the talents he had acquired were not only non-repetitive but also a perfect fit.

The talent Recast, for the time being, appeared to be a very powerful recovery ability—his Base Variant Carapace could be cracked, pierced, or even shattered, but as long as Lin Shen was not dead, the carapace could be recast and healed.

Coupled with the enhancement from Super Base Change and the continuous absorption of the World\'s Force by the Super Base Pattern, Lin Shen was tantamount to a fighting machine that was very hard to kill.

As for how effective the Recast talent could be, its true measure would need to be tested in actual combat.

Lin Shen found a Green Crystal Warrior to try it out, but a regular Green Crystal Warrior could hardly damage his Crystal-based Carapace, unable to leave a mark on it.

Even the mutated Blue Crystal Warriors and Purple Crystal Warriors, using their full power with a skill, could only scratch the surface of his carapace, and these scratches would heal instantly.

Lin Shen even allowed Jiweis to attack his carapace; after using a skill, Jiweis could damage it, but it would recover in a flash all the same.

Lin Shen found that the Recast talent\'s effect was not limited to the Base Variant Carapace—the effect was equally effective on his flesh and blood, just not as noticeable as with the carapace, and the recovery was slightly slower.

With not much time left, Lin Shen collected the Base Mutation Fluid from those mutated warriors to continue increasing his base mutation rate, preparing for his eventual Ascension.

Once he was able to Ascend, he would not need to fear anyone any longer on his home planet.

Without going after more mutated warriors, Lin Shen devoted all his time to practicing various skills and familiarizing himself with his talents.

Jiweis, the Frost Swordsman, and the Death Powder were used as his sparring partners.

Both Jiweis and the Death Powder were strong enough, arguably at the peak of Base Mutation, but as long as Lin Shen used his talents, defeating them was not difficult.

Unfortunately, there were no Ascended Creatures on Realm King Planet; Lin Shen really wanted to go to the Ring Mountain Planet to test his combat power against the Supersource Dragons, but this was not currently possible.

"There\'s a ready-made Ascension-level combatant right here." Giving up hope on the Supersource Dragons, Lin Shen set his sights on the Six Paths Phoenix.

The Six Paths Phoenix was indeed no ordinary Spirit Base; it was able to respond to Lin Miao\'s thoughts, and its combat power was terrifyingly immense.

In terms of speed alone, it was faster than Zheng Guyuan\'s Red Jade Sword from before.

Moreover, the Six Paths Phoenix could achieve an assault merge, wrapping its wings around Lin Miao and engaging in combat together with her.

Regrettably, the Six Paths Phoenix could only respond to Lin Miao\'s thoughts, Lin Shen had also tried to control it but with no response at all.

Lin Shen was very skeptical that it was the stubborn attachment of Wan Nianbei that clung to the Six Paths Phoenix, which allowed Lin Miao, a Mutator, to control it.

"Big sister, have the Six Paths Phoenix attack me," Lin Shen said. His training against regular Crystal-based Creatures could no longer improve him much; he needed greater pressure to forge himself.

"No way, I can only communicate with it simply and cannot control it precisely. If I let it attack you, it would treat you as an enemy, showing no mercy," Lin Miao immediately refused.

"No need for mercy. When I face the Ascenders of the Wan Family, they will show no mercy either. If I can\'t even handle a single strike from the Six Paths Phoenix, then our return will also be a dead end," Lin Shen said.

Lin Miao understood this principle and, despite her worries, she could only do as Lin Shen had said.
