CHAPTER 831 GENE MUTATION
After Rocky got the magic pill, he wasted no time and tried to analyze it. He began working the moment
he returned to the Barren City from the Black Sand Abyss. As he broke down its components, he
realized he could not identify the raw materials that were used. It could be that the components used
were extremely rare, or they only grew in places uninhabited by humans. He buried himself in studying
the magic pill, but he did not recognize any of the materials. One thing he was sure of, the spiritual race
made this pill, just as he had predicted.
After he examined it further, Rocky realized that it was more magical than the spiritual crystal which
was forged by nature. The spiritual crystals had different levels and consisted of undetermined spiritual
power. If eaten by mistake, it could harm the spirit-manipulated beast. On the other hand, this magic pill
had unique qualities.
After Rocky used the Mysterious Visual Evaluation Skill to check its internal structure, he found that it
had five layers of pills. This information astonished Rocky. Five unique kinds of pills wrapped together
to form one exceptional pill. Each of the five pills contained a different level of power. The one on the
outer layer contained a weaker spiritual power equivalent to that of a low-grade red spiritual crystal.
The pill that was closest to the core had the strongest spiritual power.
Rocky also determined that it did not respond to a human's spiritual power. But it reacted and
manifested spiritual power the moment he placed it beside a spirit-manipulated beast.
Rocky concluded that this pill contained specific characteristics not found on the spiritual crystal.
Its unique structure prevented spirit-manipulated beasts from absorbing too much spiritual power that
could cause harm or damage. It was ingeniously crafted in such a way that the spirit-manipulated beast
would absorb its power gradually and in steps. The magic pill had five pills of different levels. Only after
the spirit-manipulated beast had absorbed the power of the first pill, could it ingest the second pill. It
would take a while, but these steps would definitely protect the spirit-manipulated beast from the
overwhelming power of the magic pill.
With this design and the slow reaction of the pill, Rocky concluded that even an ordinary spirit-
manipulated beast could safely take this pill with no danger of harm or overdose. The pill also showed
proof that it could stay in the body of a spirit-manipulated beast for a long time. Long enough for the
spirit-manipulated beast to adapt and soak up its spiritual power.
This pill was definitely a divine pill to any spirit-manipulated beast!
All that Rocky needed to do now was to let Robin take this pill. It would help Robin grow into an adult
quickly and its strength would progress rapidly, just like what happened to Uriah before. With this
process, the genome in Robin's body would mutate, and Robin could even reach a higher star level.
The same thing also occurred to Rubygon before. However, in the past, Rocky hadn't calculated the
original genome of spirit-manipulated beasts, so he was unable to determine how the genome of
Rubygon had mutated when it reached the higher star level.
This time, Rocky made sure that he calculated the gene of Robin. As long as he could alter Robin's
genome sequencing, Robin could definitely reach a higher level. Unfortunately, Rocky only got the
genes of the Dark Heaven Insect and Robin. If he could also study the genes of Rainbow Glow
Unicorn, it could also reach a higher level. This was a cutting-edge plan that would break the world's
rules. It could cause a big scene if others found out about it. The level of a spirit-manipulated beast was
decided by its species. If it reached a higher level, its strength would increase multiple times, and it
would also have other peculiar abilities.
The order of gene mutation was very important for the transformation of genes. A different order would
lead to different gene mutations. For instance, a spirit-manipulated beast with one extra head or foot
would have a totally different gene mutation compared with a spirit-manipulated beast with no extra
head or foot. The order of gene mutation that made a spirit-manipulated beast reach a higher level was
more complicated. It was why Rocky had to find out the original genome.
However, there was one road-block. Gene mutation only lasted for a brief time, and it was difficult to
find the right order. Rocky only had one chance. His experiment would come to nothing if he failed to
find the right order and way of gene mutation after Robin took the pill. If he found them in time, then his
experiment would be a success.
As Rocky poured his heart and soul into the experiment, he realized that it was easier said than done.
It was a complex process, and Robin's gene mutation was difficult to read. There were two possibilities,
a gene mutation that led to a common breakthrough of level, or one that could make Robin stronger.
Rocky fancied a gene mutation that could lead to a star-level breakthrough, just like what he stumbled
upon with Rubygon.
For a spirit-manipulated beast that was not a spiritual beast, the limitation of star level was a shackle
that prevented the possibility of growth. But if it could eliminate the shackle through gene
transformation, even an ordinary spirit-manipulated beast could transform into a spirit-manipulated
beast of the five-star level or even higher. Rocky experienced it first-hand with Rubygon. He believed
that he could break the original limitation that controlled the progress of a spirit-manipulated beast in
the world. This was possible, as long as he could calculate the complete original genome and identify
the specific order and way of gene mutation from Robin. Once successful, no difference would exist
between spiritual beast and war beast.
Rocky then called Robin and Rainbow Glow Unicorn. Rocky touched the head of Robin and said in a
serious tone, "You will feel a little uncomfortable at first, but you must bear it."
Robin was clueless, but it trusted Rocky like a father. So it remained obedient and followed Rocky's
every instruction.
At that moment, Rocky put the pill inside Robin's mouth and used the Mysterious Visual Evaluation
Skill. He watched the pill slowly slide inside the body of Robin. After the pill entered Robin's body, it
flickered, and soon bright, rounded lights spread out like halos.
Before long, Robin felt uncomfortable. The spiritual power released by the pill caused painful spasm
inside Robin's body. It howled as its body convulsed in physical suffering. Obviously, it was difficult for
Robin to absorb the spiritual power released by the pill. Robin was just a young beast, and its body had
not achieved full growth. The spiritual power inside its body was much weaker than that of the pill, and This content belongs to NĂ´/velDra/ma.Org .
it was not cut out for such strong spiritual power.
As Robin struggled, Rocky tried to ease the pain caused by the pill. He knew this was all part of the
process as the pill released the spiritual power inside Robin's body. Rocky used the Holy Dragon Bead
to absorb some spiritual power from Robin into his body.
After it absorbed the spiritual power released by the pill, a transformation happened in Robin's body.
Robin's frosty fur stood up like a pointed spine. Its body straightened and grew longer. Its gentle face
became fierce, while its round eyes were ablaze with blue ice. Dazzling lights radiated out of its body
like a flash of lighting.
Soon, the entire ground was covered with ice and the air became piercing cold.
