Chapter 128: The Gene Lock Finally Unlocked!
Lin Yu was somewhat shocked. Last time, even the seventh wave, the main attack of Ju-on Kayako, Lin Yu was able to withstand it with the "Golden Light Spell". But this time, the sixth wave of ghosts broke through Lin Yu's Golden Light Defense. Although it slightly stopped the attack, it was not a complete rout, but it was indeed broken through.
All I can say is that this time the intensity is significantly greater than the last time!
The Golden Light Spell was broken, and Lin Yu's heart tightened. Although being slashed wouldn't be fatal, the place attacked by this ghost would go into his intestines. Lin Yu didn't want to experience that feeling, so he immediately retreated.
The ghost's cleaver slashed towards Lin Yu's chest, but was slightly slowed by the golden light defense. Lin Yu quickly retreated, but it was too late to completely dodge it.
Just when Lin Yu thought he would be attacked by the ghost, he suddenly felt something inside his body being released. Countless pieces of information flooded into his brain like a tide. He instinctively controlled his true energy to circulate rapidly, and the speed suddenly increased by several times, narrowly dodging the ghost's attack.
[Is this the genetic lock? It's more powerful than I imagined!]
Feeling this strange state, Lin Yu was slightly surprised, not because he was surprised that the gene lock was unlocked, but because of the strength of the gene lock.
Given Lin Yu's level of enhancement, unlocking the first-tier gene lock was only a matter of time, or rather, it was taking longer than expected to unlock it now, but the strength of the gene lock exceeded expectations.
The direct increase in basic strength is not significant for Lin Yu, who is already at the third tier, but the improvement in skills and control brought about by the gene lock is quite good.
For example, just now, after unlocking the gene lock, the speed increase directly exceeded 30%. This is just a simple true bonus. If skills such as "Golden Light Mantra" and "Five Thunderbolts" are used, the increase will be even greater, at least exceeding 50%.
Previously, Lin Yu thought that even if he unlocked the first-order gene lock, his strength would only increase by 10% or 20% after reaching the third-order level. However, his strength has far exceeded his expectations. It seems that he should pay more attention to the progress of the gene lock in the future.
The male ghost missed with his first strike, took a step forward, and continued to slash at Lin Yu with his second strike.
Seeing this, Lin Yu did not dodge, but instead stretched out his left hand to block the kitchen knife. With a piercing sound, the male ghost's kitchen knife was actually blocked by Lin Yu's golden light!
Concentrating the golden light of his entire body into one point is a technique Zhang Chulan created himself. It sacrifices agility to increase defense and is considered an unorthodox method, but it can indeed be effective in certain situations.
After blocking the male ghost's attack, Lin Yu stretched out his right hand again, and a bolt of lightning appeared in his palm. Then there was a thunderclap, and the male ghost was immediately disintegrated by the lightning. However, the next second, the male ghost reappeared, as if he had been resurrected.
[It seems like it only works if you defeat both ghosts together!]
Seeing the male ghost resurrected, Lin Yu suddenly remembered that eliminating only one ghost at a time was useless; he had to eliminate both of them together.
"Janlan, use an attribute-enhancing spell on me to increase my speed!"
Lin Yu took a few steps back and then called out to Zhan Lan.
"Oh—I understand!"
Upon hearing Lin Yu's shout, Zhan Lan reacted and immediately cast the "Enhance Attribute" spell on Lin Yu, selecting the attribute as...
speed"
As a warm breath flowed into his body, Lin Yu felt his body become much lighter.
"Thunder VIP membership!"
Lin Yu once again used Zhang Chulan's self-created skill, striking his body with a palm lightning bolt to stimulate his meridians and greatly increase his strength and speed for a short period of time.
With the blessing of gene lock, magic and lightning, Lin Yu's speed more than doubled. With a flash of lightning, Lin Yu appeared between the male ghost and the female ghost.
The male and female ghosts looked at Lin Yu, who was radiating lightning, but showed no fear of lightning magic and attacked instinctively.
The male ghost's cleaver was still aimed at Lin Yu's chest, while the female ghost Kayako grabbed at Lin Yu's thigh. Just as the two ghosts' attacks were about to touch Lin Yu, he simply took a small step to the side and dodged their attacks.
At the same time, lightning surged from Lin Yu's body, rapidly spreading outwards and enveloping the two ghosts. The next second, the two ghosts vanished into nothingness amidst the lightning.
"Lin Yu, you're awesome!"
Seeing Lin Yu so easily deal with the fifth wave, Zheng Zha laughed and walked over to pat Lin Yu on the shoulder.
When the male ghost was resurrected, Zheng Zha was very worried, since the information seemed to be wrong. But unexpectedly, Lin Yu immediately figured out the reason and easily solved the problem.
The others were equally happy; Lin Yu's strength was beyond their imagination, and perhaps he really could defeat Ju-on.
"Don't let your guard down, there are still two more waves!"
Upon hearing this, everyone's smiles immediately vanished. Opening champagne halfway through the event was indeed inadvisable; it would be better to wait until they returned to the Main God Space to celebrate.
The sixth wave is an internal attack; no one knows who will be attacked, so we can only wait.
[It's me again!]
Lin Yu suddenly felt a sharp pain in his stomach, as if someone inside was cutting his intestines with a knife. He realized that he had been chosen by a ghost again and was attacking his internal body. Without hesitation, he struck his stomach with a palm strike.
After the thunder, although I felt intense pain, the knife-like sensation in my stomach had disappeared, indicating that the ghost had been killed.
"Lin Yu, are you alright?"
Seeing Lin Yu attack his stomach, Zheng Zha immediately realized that the sixth wave had chosen Lin Yu again, and asked him worriedly.
"I'm fine, the sixth wave is over."
Lin Yu waved his hand, his face pale.
First, his intestines were severed, and then he struck himself with a palm strike. This kind of injury is not light. It would be difficult for an ordinary person to stand up. However, after Lin Yu cultivated the "Six Treasures Immortal Thief" and his vitality was strong, this kind of injury can only be described as a superficial wound. It will not affect his combat power much.
"I'll heal you!"
Zhan Lan immediately came over and cast a second-circle healing spell, "Healing Prayer." As the warm light entered his body, Lin Yu felt that his injuries had healed considerably.
Just as Zhan Lan was treating Lin Yu's injuries, a dense crowd of pedestrians suddenly appeared around them. They were all ordinary people who stood around in shock and horror, looking at the Zhongzhou team holding a large number of weapons.
Everyone frowned upon seeing this. In truth, they hadn't seen anyone else since the battle began. Although it was late at night, there should have been at least one person. However, everyone had been focused on the battle and hadn't paid attention to it.
"What's going on? How come so many people suddenly appeared?" Zheng Zha asked, somewhat puzzled.
"It should be the start of the seventh wave. These suddenly appearing people may be the mechanism of the seventh wave."
Lin Yu replied.
Lin Yu naturally knew what was going on with these people. They were food for the Curse-Insect, and consuming their souls would increase his strength. So he had to be careful later and not let Kayako become too strong.
