Chapter 149: Weak Like No Other, Am I Dying?

Chapter 149: Weak Like No Other, Am I Dying?

“Damn it! How come you are encountering such a thing? This is more than a bad day!”

Ling Jiu was freaked out . At first, his plan was to find the energy crystals . Little did he expect to fall into such a trap and face the threat of dying . Freaking out was not the word for it .

“No!”

“I mustn’t sit and wait! I have to find the source of the Dark Bio-energy before mine is drained . ”

Ling Jiu took a deep breath, forcing himself to calm down . Then he sat cross-legged and carefully searched for it .

He could clearly sense an inexplicable suction force coming from all directions and drawing his Gene Arcana from his body at this time .

This suction force felt exactly the same as wearing the Venom Suit . Just that the intensity was greater . He lost a good amount of Gene Arcana every moment .

“Even if I have ten thousand times more Gene Arcana than what the ordinary people have, I won’t last long at this rate of loss . ”

“Find it!”

“I have to find the source of Gene Arcana!”

As time passed, Ling Jiu gradually let his mind drift, searching for the source carefully . After five minutes had passed, and yet another five minutes; where was the source?

There was nothing .

There was not even a trace of Gene Arcana in this special training room, let alone the source .

To no avail for a long time, Ling Jiu became irritable after searching for a long time to no avail . He would lose his composure, especially when the thought of obliteration from failing the test came to mind .

“Calm down . I must calm down . ” He told himself . “In the past, I could sense and absorb Gene Arcana as it was in the air . But there is nothing here in this special training room .

“I have got to find another way if I want to find Gene Arcana . ”

“That’s right! That sh*t brain said that Gene Arcana comes from the void .

“The void… The void…”

Ling Jiu released his Arcana Field . But he sadly discovered that his Arcana Field that used to cover 500 meters in radius could not penetrate the walls of the training room . The walls bounced the Arcana Field back .

“But that’s okay!”

“I can still release the Arcana Field, although I can’t use any Arcana .

“I may find something by using the Arcana Field to feel for the void . ”

Ling Jiu calmed down again, his Arcana Field enveloping the entire training room . He felt for it little by little . One minute, two minutes, thirty minutes…

An hour later…

“I still can’t sense anything…

“Coming from the void .

“Where the hell from the void? The void is clearly empty!

“Am I going to fail?

“No! I must not fail!

“Failure means death .

“One more time . ”

There was still no trace of Gene Arcana after another half an hour had passed . Ling Jiu had lost a large part of his Gene Arcana .

His Gene Arcana was the size of a pomelo at first . It had now been reduced to the size of a cherry after his Gene Arcana was drained . It would not be long before his Gene Arcana Core disappeared completely .

“The void . The void . There is nothing in the void . Did that sh*t brain lie?” Ling Jiu became irritable again .

…

In the hall earlier, 9527 was still standing in place, but now, there was an array of monitor screens in front of it .

Each monitor screen was made of material similar to the Venom Suit, yet it showed images . One monitor had images of Ling Jiu on it .

“There are forty-nine participants in this batch!

“The strongest life form is from the Level 7 planet, and the weakest one is from the Level 4 .

“The Dark Bio-energy in all the participants will be completely drained in eight hours if everything goes well .

“They can only survive for five days at most without Dark Bio-energy, eating, and drinking . The outcome will be known after five days .

“Hope that someone will pass the test . Otherwise, we can only wait for the next batch!”

…

Two days passed in the blink of an eye .

Ling Jiu had almost lost all hope .

Not only had he failed to find the Gene Arcana, the Gene Arcana in the core and the body cells had been drained completely .

His Gene Arcana Core had disappeared, and the Gene Arcana in his body cells had gone . There was nothing there .

Ling Jiu felt extremely weak, his body seemed to be hollowed out after going without food or water for two days . The most frightening thing was that he saw no hopes at all .

“Am I going to die here?”

Ling Jiu lay on the ground, paralyzed, his eyes blank . “When I’ve finally crossed into this world and started to live like a human, I end up dying in this place .

“Damn whoever is up there!

“No! I must not give up!

“Yes! I shouldn’t give up!

“The void… The void…

“I must find the Gene Arcana . ”

Ling Jiu was so weak that he had pulled himself to sit up with difficulty . “Gene Arcana comes from the void . Gene Arcana comes from the void . But the void is empty . There is no Gene Arcana there .

“The void… The void…”

Another two days had passed in the blink of an eye . Ling Jiu was so hungry that his vision had become blurry . His lips were chapped, and he could not even move his fingers .

The most frightening thing was the dizziness and blurry vision from hunger .

As strong as the body was, the body of an Arcanist burned a lot more energy . Ling Jiu felt weaker than an ordinary person would have felt after eating and drinking nothing for four days .

“The void… The void…”

Ling Jiu moved his lips, his consciousness gradually blurring . But he still kept a trace of the most primitive desire in him .

In the state of semi-coma, semi-unconsciousness, Ling Jiu suddenly felt that his soul seemed to separate from his body, and then rose indefinitely .

It seemed to have passed through some kind of obstacle and came to a mysterious place at last .

The Gene Arcana…

The Gene Arcana was everywhere .

It was endless…

As vast as the ocean .

It was a pity that Ling Jiu was in a semi-unconscious state at the moment . Otherwise, he would have screamed excitedly that he had found it, that he had finally found the Gene Arcana .

His hungry body started to absorb the Gene Arcana by instinct . When it happened, it felt as though a dam had burst as the Gene Arcana poured into him .

It was as if heaven had suddenly opened . A surging stream of Gene Arcana followed his soul and gushed into his body .

The returning Gene Arcana seemed like the spring rain moisturizing a dry riverbed, Ling Jiu came out of his unconsciousness . He opened his eyes and looked up at the sky .

Looking at the void to be precise .

“Gen Arcana!”

“This is Gene Arcana!”

Ling Jiu could not help himself but became excited when he saw in the infinite depths of the void was a vast reserve of Gene Arcana . There was so much of it that massive was an understatement .

There was an enormous amount of it like a boundless ocean .

“Gene Arcana comes from the void . Is this the true meaning of Gene Arcana coming from the void? It really comes from the void . ”

He was excited . So excited that he did not summon 9527, but frantically absorbed the Gene Arcana from the void to moisturize his weakened body .

He discovered an astonishing fact at this time: there was no need for him to use his Gene Arcana secret technique when absorbing the Gene Arcana from the void .

Even so, the absorption speed was still much faster than using Sky Devourer . Ling Jiu knew why: there was simply too much Gene Arcana in the void .

As Gene Arcana entered his body, his hungry body cells quickly swallowed it up . It was not until at the end of the day that Ling Jiu felt that his body cells had finally had their fill of Gene Arcana .

Gene Arcana started to gather and compress in his meridians, becoming a Gene Arcana Core .

“Has this batch failed again?”
