"Hmph! A counterattack? When it comes to Gene Warriors, ours from Huaxia are even stronger!" The commanding officer issued orders through his radio, and everyone responded with preparation. If one looked closely, they would notice that the Huaxia Gene Warriors maintained a complete state of Beastification while still retaining their rationality in both offense and defense. In contrast, the Gene Warriors from Poison Shark Island completely lost their consciousness once they entered full Beastification.
This is the terrifying aspect of Huaxia. Perhaps Huaxia is not the fastest in scientific research or military strength, but it has the safest bottom line. Huaxia never allows its people to bear unknown risks; even when facing the threat of death, it reduces that threat to a minimum. This unit, composed entirely of Gene Warriors, proves this point.
"Comrades! This is our first mission under the Chinese Military Spirit; we must make a stunning entrance!" A punch sent a pirate in half-Beastman form flying. At that moment, an officer with three stars on his shoulder spoke up, his body covered in dense scales, and his slightly protruding nose gave off a strange impression.
"I, Pangolin, think your look is terrible. How about I take the lead instead?" A nearby Beastman stood up and swiped a claw to send a wolf-type Gene Warrior flying. However, he failed to notice a Gene Warrior with dark gray fur and arms flashing like blades sneaking up behind him.
"Zhou Xing! Don't be indecisive! Stay safe!" The officer who had spoken earlier rolled to the side just in time as an oval-shaped figure collided with the attacking Beastman Gene Warrior. With a crunching sound, the ambushing Rodent Gene Warrior was smashed and had its bones broken by the officer's impact. Seeing this, Zhou Xing felt a bit ashamed and turned to face the enemy without further mocking his teammate's transformation.
To an ordinary person, the situation on Poison Shark Island might seem impossible; however, it was real. The battle was overwhelmingly one-sided. Although reinforcements from the pirates arrived on the battlefield, the group of Gene Warriors under the Chinese Military Spirit held complete advantage. Several pirates enhanced by Gene Serum were held back by different officers.
These pirates in incomplete Beastification could not withstand the assault from the Chinese Military Spirit's Gene Warriors. Yet those who fully entered Beastification lost their consciousness, leading to self-inflicted harm as well. Thus, this group of pirates found themselves in a dilemma and was ultimately driven back.
With a reluctant roar, one of the tiger gene pirates among five Enhanced Gene Serum users finally couldn't hold back any longer. He completely succumbed to the wild call of his genes and transformed into full Beastification. At this moment, he was no longer an opponent for the rational Chinese Military Spirit's Gene Warriors; instantly, the Half-Beast Transformation Gene Warrior tasked with holding him back was sent flying with a single claw swipe.
The Beastman charged into the ranks of the Chinese Military Spirit and began attacking wildly. At this moment, Zhou Xing, who had initially mocked the officer, stepped forward. With a furious roar, Zhou Xing lunged at the Beastman pirate. The battlefield split into two as two tiger-shaped Gene Warriors clashed against each other; however, unlike before, the armored Beastman had clear eyes while the bare-chested Beastman’s eyes were blood-red.
"Boom!" As they collided, Zhou Xing was indeed overpowered and sent flying. The previous advantage had completely shifted to the fully Beastified pirate. This was the price Huaxia paid for ensuring clarity of mind: maintaining full Beastification required rapid heartbeats and swift blood circulation. This was knowledge gained through numerous experiments conducted by Xiao Yefeng alongside researchers for the Chinese Military Spirit.
Finally, Huaxia's researchers developed an internal Suppressor.
This Suppressor could stimulate rapid heartbeats while maintaining mental clarity; however, it sacrificed powerful attack capabilities due to loss of rationality. Thus, at this moment, there was a noticeable power gap between Zhou Xing and this pirate. In terms of levels: if Half-Beast Transformation was classified as Level One and full Beastification as Level Two, then all of the Chinese Military Spirit's Gene Warriors were around Level One point five while the irrational pirate was at Level Two.
Moreover, this batch of officers from the Chinese Military Spirit consisted of those original ninety individuals; although they had expanded to three hundred now, they were all using that initial type of ordinary Gene Serum. Therefore, in terms of serum levels: if Zhou Xing’s Beastman serum belonged to Generation One, then the pirate’s Gene Serum belonged to Generation Two's enhanced version—this also explained their fundamental power disparity.
"Bang! Bang! Bang!" The two clashed fiercely, and although they both sustained injuries, it was clear to everyone that Zhou Xing was at a disadvantage. A long scratch on his side, left by the pirate moments ago, was seeping blood. Fortunately, Zhou Xing was in a gene activation state, with a strong recovery ability; while blood flowed from the wound, he was also healing. However, his combat capability had already diminished.
"Get ready to take over. These irrational beasts can't maintain their Beastification for long. Zhou Xing, how much time do you have left for your Beastification?" The officer, now back in his normal state, spoke up.
Pressing on his injured side, Zhou Xing replied, "Less than two minutes left. I feel like I can hold on!"
At that moment, the officer commanded, "Activate the Suppressor immediately and retract your Beastification to receive treatment!" His words were filled with a steely resolve; this was the military. Zhou Xing gritted his teeth and shrank back, his muscles and skin color instantly reverting to their normal form. With this change, the wound at his waist lost its suppression and blood gushed out. The medical team rushed forward to carry Zhou Xing away and began treatment on the spot.
With their enemy incapacitated, the pirates lunged toward the soldiers of the Chinese Military Spirit. Just then, two soldiers in standard uniforms roared and transformed into their Beastification state to meet the pirates head-on. As their full Beastification time expired, the pirates finally exhausted themselves and collapsed, only to be captured by the soldiers of the Chinese Military Spirit.
Similar situations unfolded elsewhere as well; the irrationally attacked pirates chose to fully Beastify. The soldiers of the Chinese Military Spirit managed to subdue these pirates one by one as they lost their strength. Although shouts of battle still echoed, the Chinese Military Spirit had completely taken control of the Poison Shark Pirate Base.
Meanwhile, Xiao Yefeng had led Liu Yiyi and others to find the soldiers of the Chinese Military Spirit. After handing over a group of captured wealthy individuals to them, Xiao Yefeng arrived at the battlefield under the guidance of a soldier. Upon seeing Zhou Xing sitting on the ground receiving treatment, Xiao Yefeng laughed heartily and said, "What happened? Brother Zhou, you got hurt?"
Noticing Xiao Yefeng's arrival, Zhou Xing's face twitched slightly before he replied, "Looks like I've embarrassed myself in front of Xiao Brother. I believe you now!"
In fact, Xiao Yefeng had known Zhou Xing and the original ninety members of the Chinese Military Spirit well; he had visited their base multiple times for exchanges among Gene Warriors. The development of the Suppressor was a joint effort between Xiao Yefeng and researchers. Thus, he was quite familiar with them and had previously explained how powerful Gene Warriors could be when fully Beastified.
At that time, Zhou Xing and several others had expressed their disbelief; after all, Gene Warriors from Huaxia could maintain their intelligence even in complete Beast Transformation Form—surely they were stronger than this group. Now Zhou Xing finally believed Xiao Yefeng's words and felt somewhat embarrassed.
Just then, the commanding officer leading everyone turned around and saw Xiao Yefeng. He spoke up, "Commander Xiao! Thank you for your guidance!"
"It's all good; we're about the same age. You all earned your ranks through hard work while mine is just a title!" Xiao Yefeng replied casually. The officer he referred to as Brother Meng was Meng Kai, who had just transformed into a Pangolin to save Zhou Xing earlier; he was one of the squad leaders among the original ninety members.
"Alright then!" Meng Kai said.
Just as the two of them exchanged a few words, the initial command from the commander was issued. An unexpected situation arose on the other side of the island, and the Chinese Military Spirit was ordered to rush over for support. Xiao Yefeng saw the location on the electronic map and instructed Liu Yiyi to take care of Liu Qing and his wife along with the others. After that, Xiao Yefeng made his way over. Since stepping onto this island, apart from rescuing people, he had been dealing with wealthy individuals, so he wanted to find an equally strong opponent to test whether his own strength had improved.
Since entering the True Spirit Late Stage, Xiao Yefeng had not engaged in a real battle for quite some time. According to Jiang Xing, at this stage, cultivation was secondary; the most crucial aspect was combat—enhancing one's power through fighting and finding opportunities for advancement within those battles.
By the time Xiao Yefeng arrived on the other side of the island, it was already a bit late; the battle had commenced. At that moment, Chen Si had transformed into a Half-Orc, his muscular limbs resembling those of a monstrous creature. His black fur stood on end, and a massive gorilla loomed before Xiao Yefeng. However, Chen Si was currently in a passive defensive state, with streaks of red in his dark fur indicating that he had sustained considerable injuries.
The opponent engaging Chen Si was a robust Bald Giant with a light blue skin tone. The two diagonal gills behind his ears confirmed his identity as a Gene Warrior of fish lineage, just like Xiao Yefeng. The giant's skin was resilient; although he lacked protective scales, he was incredibly slippery. His elbows bore two bony spikes resembling fish fins, which were responsible for the numerous scratches covering Chen Si's body, along with the giant's sharp teeth.
Just as Xiao Yefeng arrived, he witnessed the Bald Giant sink its large teeth into Chen Si's shoulder. In an instant, razor-sharp teeth bit down and tore away a chunk of flesh from Chen Si. Although this injury seemed minor for the gorilla-like Chen Si, a quick glance revealed that he already bore four or five bite marks on his body.
