Super Gene Ⅱ: Evolution

Lin Shen found that while his attention was diverted to the Death Powder, the headache surprisingly eased quite a bit. But once he regained focus, the headache became even more unbearable.

Lin Shen suddenly realized something: he was never the type to stay focused, easily getting distracted in whatever he did.

As a child, when trying to learn serious subjects, he could never quite absorb the material, his mind would wander off after a little while.

Now, to concentrate his mind and resist the Curse Language of Oath Bodhisattva, to withstand the mental impact of the curse and battle Oath Bodhisattva, seemed an almost impossible task.

"Escapism might be shameful, but it's really effective. Even Lord Guan needed to play chess to distract himself during bone-scraping healing. How could an ordinary man like me directly withstand such pain without using the Distracted Technique?" Lin Shen's thought churned.

Since he found it difficult to focus, and was easily distracted, he decided to let his mind wander instead of forcing himself to pay attention.

With this in mind, Lin Shen relaxed and let the waves of pain assail his mind while he thought about other things.

Yet, for a moment, Lin Shen didn't know what to think about. The interesting things from his childhood, the games he was addicted to, no longer held the same allure for him.

These couldn't be used as a distraction, Lin Shen remembered an old movie he once saw before his home planet's catastrophe. The protagonist was severely injured, needing to extract a bullet from his body, but due to limited conditions, there was no anesthesia available. The protagonist also used the Distracted Technique, focusing on an action romance film to distract himself.

Lin Shen wanted to try and see if it really worked, but there was no one to play an action romance film for him now.

This approach not being viable, Lin Shen continued to think, what really interested him at the moment.

Martial techniques or skills? He seemed to practice them only casually, without much dedication.

Spirit Base pets? He didn't have too many ambitions; the pets he had were already of supreme quality, but he hadn't trained them yet.

Power and beauty? Lin Shen wasn't greatly interested in power, and while he liked beautiful women, he wasn't obsessed.

Now, Lin Shen wished he was a man driven by carnal desires; just looking at beautiful women could conjure up many mosaic-required scenes, perhaps sufficient to enact the Distracted Technique.

Thinking of mosaics, Lin Shen tried to count how many Heaven-Defying Fire Seeds he had obtained, and how many he was short of. But no matter how he counted, he couldn't figure it out clearly.

"I wonder what kind of effect Heaven Defying Bone will have once complete..." Lin Shen suddenly realized that, after letting his thoughts wander onto a bunch of random things, it had inadvertently taken effect, and his head didn't hurt as much anymore.

When he became aware of this, the intense pain struck again, making it unbearable.

"It turns out random thoughts are enough, it seems I do have a talent for getting distracted..." Lin Shen didn't know whether to be relieved or despondent, but he couldn't help thinking self-deprecatingly.

The curse power of Oath Bodhisattva became stronger and stronger. Under the vast Tian Zhixia, with tremendous willpower opposing the Curse Language power, ensuring one's consciousness remained clear, while trying to break free from the confines, but as the blood flowed, the halo that bound him had turned blood-colored.

No matter how he unleashed his Law Power and Power of Nirvana, it seemed to have no effect on the blood-colored halo; the more he struggled, the tighter the bindings got.

He could hardly hold onto the Ten Directions Ghost God Slaying Blade in his hand.

This couldn't blame Tian Zhixia's indecisive will or that his strength wasn't strong enough, but rather because the power of Oath Bodhisattva was too bizarre and too powerful.

The originally mighty Oath Bodhisattva, despite the impressive Curse Language Dual Series, was not strong enough to trap Tian Zhixia and Lin Shen.

However, with the addition of the Spirit Base of the Jade Ring, the Curse Language Dual Series of the Oath Bodhisattva evolved into a Three-Series Law Power of Curse, Word, and Jade.

Since Yan Ruyu obtained the Crown of Jade, and the Jade Ring fell into the Heavenly Law Realm, its combination with the Oath Bodhisattva transformed it into a Curse, Word, Jade Three-Series Heavenly Law.

Additionally, knowing that Lin Shen possessed the ability to reverse strengths and weaknesses, the Jade Ring managed, with its manipulation, to create a force from the merging of the Three-Series Heavenly Law Power, which successfully evaded the effects of the Light of Fate Reversal.

No matter how strong the Curse Language Power affecting Lin Shen was, it could be reversed in strength.

The addition of the Jade Series Power induced some special changes to the power of the Curse Language.

The Curse Language did not act directly on Lin Shen but passed through a jade-colored halo first, which in turn was connected to the Star Power lent by the Jade Guanyin.

The Jade Ring itself also possessed Curse Language Power, creating a unique cyclical system with Lin Shen through the link of the Curse Language.

When Lin Shen tried to reverse the strengths and weaknesses to break the Jade Ring, the latter, already imbued with Curse Language Power akin to a Blood Curse, meant that greater damage inflicted on the Jade Ring would result in the same harm to Lin Shen himself.

Without using the Light of Fate Reversal, the Curse Language within him would harm Lin Shen.

The Jade Ring was like an accursed Evil Jade, bringing misfortune to its wearer continuously, yet if the Jade Ring was destroyed, the wearer would die as well.

With the Jade intact, the person lives; with the Jade destroyed, the person dies, with the caveat that the Jade brings only calamities.

Thus, no matter how Lin Shen changed the strengths and weaknesses, he would be the one getting hurt in the end.

However, there was a flaw in this method; if Lin Shen truly destroyed the Jade Ring at the risk of his life, he would indeed suffer unimaginable Three-Series Power, but the Jade Ring and the Oath Bodhisattva would also be hit by backlash.

The sentient Jade Ring, holding a grudge for Lin Shen killing its host, was determined to seek revenge on Lin Shen even if it meant mutual destruction.

As Lin Shen writhed in unbearable pain, the Jade Ring glittered with a strange brilliance, flickering excitedly.

Then, suddenly, the expression of pain on Lin Shen's face began to fade.

Crack! Crack!

The jade-colored halo that bound Lin Shen was stretched and cracked by his every move, breaking into pieces and scattering.

Lin Shen pulled out the Scrap Sword and charged towards the Jade Guanyin, stepping on the Surfing Step, and with a casual slash, a chainsaw-like Blade Qi flew out.

Lin Shen entered a mysterious state, seemingly intentional yet unintentional, as if battling against the Jade Guanyin, but his mind seemed detached, as if focused on the battle yet also considering something else.

As the jade-colored halo shattered, cracks appeared on the Oath Bodhisattva's body, including fine lines on the Jade Ring around his neck.

Lin Shen's body was too unique; unaffected by the Curse Language, he forcefully gathered strength to break the jade-colored halo. The Three-Series Law Power could not damage his body; instead, it was the Jade Guanyin who could not bear the backlash and suffered.
