Chapter 94 Choice

Lin Feng felt that he was getting closer and closer to the “truth”. It was not that the academic faction did not offer him special benefits, but that they had already told Lin Feng in a very subtle manner through Long Duo.

If Lin Feng did not choose the academic faction and turned to another faction, such as the consortium faction, would his credit be

erased?

This was basically impossible. After all, this war occurred under the attention of all the eyes in the world. Everyone knew that Lin Feng had turned the tide.

It was impossible for the credits to be erased, but the people who recorded the credits were people from the academic faction, such as Long Duo. If they did not “try their best” when applying for the medal, a Hero of Humanity Medal would probably become a Protector of Humanity Medal.

The difference between the two was considerable, and this was a manipulable difference. No one could fault them for anything. However, this was something dishonorable after all, so Long Duo did not say it directly. He only mentioned this very vaguely and asked Lin Feng to consider it carefully.

Though he figured out this point, Lin Feng wasn’t dissatisfied. His contribution was great, but while considering it worthy of the Protector of Humanity Medal was acceptable, considering it worthy of the Hero of Humanity Medal was not objectionable either.

This would depend on Lin Feng’s choice.

In truth, even without the Hero of Humanity Medal, Lin Feng would still choose the academic faction. The reason was very simple. Lin Feng was not satisfied with stopping at the Metamorphic Realm. He wanted to reach the peak of martial arts, especially after seeing the Invincible Fist Sage’s palm. It had touched him deeply.

If one wanted to reach the peak of martial arts, there was no doubt that the academic faction was the most suitable. In terms of the integrity of martial arts alone, the academic faction was indisputably the first. Even the military and government factions were inferior to it.

Moreover, Lin Feng was very satisfied with Nonuple Body Tempering. If he wanted the mnemonics of the subsequent six levels, he could only join the academic faction.

“Lin Feng, have you made your decision?” Long Duo asked with a solemn expression.

“Chief Commander, I’ve decided to apply to join the Myriad Academy!”

Lin Feng did not hesitate at all. This was a comprehensive decision after a long period of consideration.

“Haha, and there I thought you’d get cross-eyed from all the choices. I didn’t expect you to make a decision so quickly. This is a very correct decision! I’ll post your application immediately, as well as the application report regarding the Hero of Humanity Medal. There will be an outcome in about three days.”

“Thank you, Chief Commander.”

Lin Feng smiled when he heard this. He had guessed correctly. Only by deciding to join the academic faction would his Hero of Humanity Medal be in the bag. Otherwise, it might become a Protector of Humanity Medal.

“Don’t worry, Lin Feng. Joining the academic faction is certainly the right choice. I believe that you will definitely be able to break the genetic lock twice, undergo two life transitions, and become a Divine Realm martial artist!”

After talking with Long Duo for a while, Long Duo bade farewell and left. He had a lot going on lately as well. Although peace had returned to Dragonlith City, the city was still far from recovering from its damage.

This was especially since the research institute was rushing to research the devices to detect the parasitic seed and the drugs to eliminate it. All of these required some time.

On Lin Feng’s communicator, his parents and friends also called in succession to inquire about the situation. Lin Feng naturally reported his safety. His family was very happy to learn that he had broken the genetic lock and that his strange illness had been cured.

Lin Feng’s mother, in particular, even cried tears of joy. Lin Feng also asked about his family’s situation briefly. The Lin Corporation was still being targeted and suppressed, and their situation was not too good, but Lin Feng could not return to Central Sea right now.

If he could return to Central Sea, with his power and influence as an inhuman expert, he would be able to help the Lin Corporation tide through this crisis with little trouble.

He would even have the ability to settle scores with the Zhao family!

Lin Feng was very free in the period after. Originally, he wanted to obtain some cultivation techniques that could condense Astral Power to practice first, but Long Duo could only shake his head. These cultivation techniques had to be purchased by martial artists themselves.

Right now, Lin Feng had yet to sign the Inhuman Agreement, and he had yet to obtain the status of a Metamorphic Realm martial artist. He still did not have the qualifications to enter the “shop” of the academic faction. Hence, he was temporarily unable to purchase any cultivation techniques.

Having nothing better to do, Lin Feng began to study his innate abilities. He was very certain that his innate abilities had already awakened. At least for now, he only knew about the two innate abilities, armor and undying characteristic.

The armor should be the ability of the Proboscis Beast genes, while the undying characteristic was the ability from the Screwworm genes. Lin Feng had also fused the Unicorn and Wild Bovine genes. What innate abilities did these two types of genes produce? Even Lin Feng’s own genes could produce innate abilities. However, Lin Feng had no time to study them in the past. Now, he could study them properly.

Innate abilities were basically available as long as one broke the genetic lock. The only difference was that some would awaken only after completing the metamorphosis, while others would awaken once the genetic lock was broken.

Lin Feng’s genes had already fused with the four types of dire beast genes. However, they were different genes after all, so he could awaken different innate abilities. Since he had already awakened two innate abilities, there was no reason why innate abilities could not be awakened from the other two types of genes.

Lin Feng carefully began to sense the changes in his body. Innate abilities were actually very simple. Since it was an innate, it was almost instinctive. He should be able to detect it by sensing it carefully.

A galloping Unicorn appeared in Lin Feng’s mind. With a thought from Lin Feng, the Unicorn disappeared, and was replaced by a strange metal covering Lin Feng’s fist.

“Is this the Unicorn’s innate ability?”

Lin Feng was a little surprised, but he then smashed the ground lightly.

Boom.

Lin Feng did not use force, but as he smashed, he felt that the layer of metal wrapped around his fist appeared indestructible, easily smashing a huge pit in the ground.

“The toughest part of the Unicorn is its horn. It seems that the innate ability awakened by the genes of the Unicorn is similar to the ability of the horn. It’s indestructible.”

Lin Feng clenched his fists. With the help of the Unicorn’s innate ability, his fists were covered in a layer of metal, and a small horn could be vaguely seen on his fists.

Seeing the horn, Lin Feng no longer doubted that this was the Unicorn’s innate ability.

But apart from the Unicorn, what about Lin Feng’s own genes and the innate ability of the Wild Bovine’s genes?

This time, no matter how Lin Feng sensed for them, he did not seem to detect any innate ability.

If one had to say that something was different, it would be that when he was sensing for it, a large amount of power seemed to surge out of his body, like a gushing inundation. It made Lin Feng feel like his power was boundless.

However, wasn’t it the power obtained through gradually strengthening one’s physique during the metamorphosis process?

“No, this isn’t an increase in strength from the metamorphosis of my body!”

Lin Feng carefully sensed every inch of his body again, and his expression suddenly changed.
