579: Chapter 568: The Power of Genetic Potion 579: Chapter 568: The Power of Genetic Potion In the underground base’s Gene Laboratory, Xu Ruolan, dressed in protective gear, was developing a Genetic Potion with the aid of a gene expert cultivated by the Fang Guild.
Initially, they thought that with Xu Ruolan’s arrival, the difficulties encountered in developing the Genetic Potion would be easily resolved.
However, the ensuing problems were incessant, and Apollo, who had been observing from the outside, finally couldn’t hold back any longer.
He walked in and went straight to Xu Ruolan.
“Ms.
Xu, what exactly is going on, didn’t you successfully develop the Genetic Potion already?
Why are there so many problems now!”
Apollo looked at Xu Ruolan with suspicion.
He had invited her here specifically for the development of the Genetic Potion, and since Xu Ruolan had already had successful experiences, logically, the work should have been progressing smoothly.
Yet, the problems they faced indeed came one after another.
Apollo even started to suspect that Xu Ruolan was playing some tricks, deliberately creating these issues.
Xu Ruolan remained composed and confidently explained to Apollo, “The Genetic Potion cannot be successfully developed by me alone; Ning Fan was also part of the team.
I need his assistance.”
Apollo frowned, and did not believe Xu Ruolan’s words.
“Ms.
Xu, I advise you not to deceive me.
Otherwise, the person who dies will not be just Asura, you better think it through.”
“Do you think I am lying to you?”
Xu Ruolan fearlessly met Apollo’s eyes.
The truth was the truth.
She didn’t need to lie—the Genetic Potion was not solely her achievement.
If it weren’t for Ning Fan, Xu Ruolan probably wouldn’t have had the chance to develop the Genetic Potion up till now.
Seeing Xu Ruolan so candid, Apollo’s doubt gradually subsided somewhat.
He remained half-doubtful but eventually, had someone bring Ning Fan over.
The pipa bone-locked Ning Fan looked pale.
Seeing his condition, Apollo felt reassured.
Now that Ning Fan couldn’t use True Qi, there was nothing to be frightened of; he was definitely not going to escape.
“Both of you, since you’re now here, let’s get started.
I’ll be waiting outside for the good news.”
Apollo looked at the two, a hint of warning in his eyes, his smile more sarcastic than genuine.
Ning Fan and Xu Ruolan exchanged glances, ignoring Apollo, who didn’t mind and turned to walk outside.
“How are you feeling?
Is it very painful?” Xu Ruolan’s eyes were shimmering with tears, sadness on her striking face, with a touch of indignation.
Ning Fan shook his head, despite his locked pipa bone, the most important thing was that Xu Ruolan was all right compared to his physical pain.
“Don’t worry, I’m fine for now, don’t worry about me.
If there’s a chance, you alone could…”
“Stop talking, even if it means death, I will do whatever it takes to ensure you make it out of here alive!”
Ning Fan knew what Xu Ruolan was trying to say, thus he shook his head firmly, looking at her determinedly.
The two whispered among themselves.
With Xu Ruolan’s support, Ning Fan began recalling the formula for the Genetic Potion.
This laboratory was equipped with various instruments, all of which were the most advanced.
The Fang Guild had spent enormous, unimaginable resources to establish this place.
Together, Ning Fan and Xu Ruolan quietly discussed and redeveloped the Genetic Potion they had originally concocted in the laboratory.
Time trickled away slowly, and Apollo began to believe what Xu Ruolan had said, but this also deepened his wariness of Ning Fan.
If Asura brought the formula of the Genetic Potion back to the Phantom Guild and they cultivated a batch of Super Warriors, it would pose a significant obstacle to their Fang Guild.
Thinking of this, Apollo’s intent to kill Ning Fan grew stronger.
About five hours later, Xu Ruolan and Ning Fan finally developed a batch of the Genetic Potion.
“That’s why I said I wasn’t wrong, whether it’s Asura or you, both of you are impressive figures.
You were able to work together and help me develop this Genetic Potion, for which I, Apollo, offer my sincere thanks!”
Apollo received the Genetic Potion handed over by Xu Ruolan, a smile on his face but a hint of chill flitted across his eyes.
He always harbored a trace of doubt towards Ning Fan and Xu Ruolan, so he needed to test whether this bottle of Genetic Potion was real or not…
“Asura, you wouldn’t mind trying it, would you?” Apollo’s tone shifted, suddenly giving Ning Fan a sinister look.
“If this Genetic Potion is real, then you should dare to drink it.”
Apollo planned to use Ning Fan for experimentation, knowing that since his Pipa Bone was locked, even if the Genetic Potion was real, he wouldn’t be strong enough to rebel once his body was enhanced.
Before Ning Fan could respond, Xu Ruolan yelled, “No, the Genetic Potion was initially handed directly to the military.
We have also used it on lab rats; using it on humans requires further observation!”
“But this Genetic Potion was successfully developed by you, don’t you even have this much confidence in it?”
“As I said, we’ve only used it on lab rats.
Human experimentation is controlled by the military.
What happens when it’s used on humans, we truly have no data on that, and all subsequent experiments are in the hands of the military!”
This Genetic Potion was still the formula conceived with Ning Fan’s help that night.
Xu Ruolan couldn’t guarantee what would happen when used on humans because all subsequent human experiments were conducted by the military, which had nothing to do with her.
Despite Xu Ruolan’s repeated explanations, Apollo grew increasingly suspicious and insisted that Ning Fan drink it.
Finally, seeing Apollo’s patience wearing thin, Ning Fan stepped forward and said to him, “Alright, I can drink it!”
“Hahaha, worthy of Asura, indeed courageous!”
Apollo finally laughed satisfactorily, handing the Genetic Potion to Ning Fan.
Xu Ruolan held Ning Fan’s arm, shaking her head continuously, but Ning Fan gave her a reassuring look and then gulped down the Genetic Potion in his hand.
The pale blue liquid flowed into Ning Fan’s throat, spreading a cool sensation throughout his body.
Leaning on the experiment table, a minute later, his face began to sweat profusely, and his originally pale face turned red.
Giggle giggle—
Ning Fan clenched his fists as the muscles and bones in his body made sounds.
His clothes began to stretch slowly and finally burst apart due to his expanding muscles, exposing rock-hard muscles to the air.
“Ergh ergh ergh…”
As if enduring something, Ning Fan roared in a deep voice.
With a snap, his shirt tore apart into pieces, and everyone present stared at him in astonishment.
