Gene Unlocking: I Evolve Every Day

Chapter 130: Chapter 121: Witness a True Masterstroke

In the room, everyone widened their eyes, looking at Lu Li’s fingertips in disbelief.

The small flame floating there seemed like the Suirenshi Clan’s method of fire creation, causing a revolutionary tremor.

Anyone who has attended school knows that fire is a state or phenomenon.

When hot air currents reach a certain height, due to sufficient oxygen and reduced density of the hot gas, flames are generated.

Simply put, fire is a luminous, heat-releasing reaction produced during combustion.

And combustion must meet three basic conditions.

They are combustible materials, oxidizers, and an ignition source.

And now?

Lu Li, wearing short sleeves, clearly couldn’t hide anything, with no combustible material, oxidizer, or ignition source, just ”produced” a flame out of thin air at his fingertip!

The way this fire was born is undoubtedly shocking!

This was evident from the expressions on the faces of Zhang Guocheng, Wang Yu, Xiaolin, and everyone present.

They looked flabbergasted, unable to believe what they were seeing.

A young man around twenty-seven or twenty-eight years old, perhaps too shocked, exclaimed, ”Are you performing magic?”

Magic?

It seemed that other than magic, there was really no other explanation.

But magic usually involves props, and Lu Li, wearing a short-sleeved shirt, couldn’t possibly hide any props.

Even though everyone subconsciously believed it was unlikely to be magic, because it defied the principles of physics, they found it hard to believe Lu Li wasn’t performing magic.

Suddenly, Zhang Guocheng, Wang Yu, Xiaolin, and others all stared intently at Lu Li, eager to hear his explanation.

”Magic?” Lu Li smiled slightly, sitting there without moving, and said, ”Look in front of you.”

Everyone instinctively looked in front of the young man who had just spoken.

An unknown flower made of flames had appeared!

”Ah?”

”What?”

”This...”

Wang Yu, Xiaolin, and the others were so shocked they couldn’t speak.

Zhang Guocheng didn’t react with surprise like the others, but his pupils were constantly contracting.

Clearly, his heart was equally astonished.

If Lu Li sitting there conjuring flames out of thin air could be explained as magic, but now, sitting seven or eight meters away, having done nothing, and making a flower of flames appear in front of the young man, how could this be explained?

There was no answer!

It was impossible to find an answer to something that defied natural laws!

Finding an answer wasn’t really the important thing.

After all, they weren’t scientists and didn’t need to delve so deeply.

What they feared was that Lu Li could produce flames out of thin air from a distance!

Although they didn’t know how far Lu Li’s ”spell range” extended or how intense the flames could get, this superpower was terrifying.

Imagine if you were on bad terms with such a person, and while sleeping at home, a corner suddenly caught fire. Wouldn’t your entire family turn to ashes?

Such a threat was undoubtedly chilling to the core.

People’s expressions changed instantly, and they looked at Lu Li, shifting from indifference to heightened alertness.

At that moment, in their eyes, Lu Li’s danger level had risen to the highest grade, red!

Zhang Guocheng felt uneasy, wanting to understand Lu Li, fearing that if things got out of hand, even having eight lives wouldn’t be enough.

He spoke more respectfully, ”Mr. Lu, your superpower is truly astounding. Could you show us more, let us see how truly impressive it is?”

Wang Yu, Xiaolin, and a few others immediately understood Zhang Guocheng’s intentions—to use flattery to distract Lu Li, hoping he’d reveal his ”cards.”

Although Lu Li was usually lazy to think, it didn’t mean he wasn’t smart; he naturally grasped the meaning behind those words.

He looked over with a slight smile, ”Trying to probe my depths?”

Caught red-handed, Zhang Guocheng blushed and hurriedly waved his hands in denial, ”No, no, I just admire your superpower too much and want to see how truly incredible it is.”

”I don’t mind if you want to probe,” Lu Li sat there calmly and started bluffing, ”Actually, I don’t know how strong I really am, but I can show you a portion of my power.”

Zhang Guocheng carefully asked, ”Why not show all your power?”

Lu Li boasted, ”If I used all my power, I’m afraid I’d scare you half to death.”

If Lu Li had said this earlier, everyone would have thought he was bluffing.

However, after conjuring flames from thin air twice in different locations, everyone began to realize one thing—they didn’t really know Lu Li enough.

So, when they heard this, they were all half-believing, half-doubting.

On one hand, Lu Li’s expression seemed confident, as if capable of the actions his words implied.

On the other hand, it was difficult to believe.

After all, no matter what, you must adhere to the law of conservation of energy.

Looking at Lu Li’s body of about 120 or 130 pounds, even if entirely filled with explosives, how much damage could it cause?

Though Zhang Guocheng thought the same, he didn’t dare to gamble, fearing a massive commotion that would require media explanation and calming the public.

So, after some thought, Zhang Guocheng smiled and said, ”Alright, just showing a part of your power is sufficient. Please, demonstrate and expand our horizons.”

Lu Li agreed with a hum, ”Alright, I’ll demonstrate a little.”

Upon hearing he would indeed demonstrate, everyone sat upright, eyes wide open, as if afraid to miss a single moment.

Then...

Well, then Lu Li just sat there without doing anything.

Zhang Guocheng looked puzzled.

Wang Yu and Xiaolin exchanged glances.

The remaining people also couldn’t figure out why Lu Li suddenly stopped moving.

Just as a young woman couldn’t hold back anymore and was about to ask.

Suddenly!

Ten or so ice spikes as thick as thumbs appeared in front of Lu Li!

”Whoa!”

”He conjured ice out of thin air again?”

”So Mr. Lu not only can produce flames, but other substances as well.”

”Wow, I always thought superhumans only existed in movies, but after seeing Mr. Lu today, I realize they truly exist!”

”It’s fire and ice, it does look quite magical, but with just these few thumb-thick ice spikes, what’s there to scare us half to death?”

”I don’t know either, let’s keep watching, Mr. Lu probably isn’t just creating ice, there might be more to this.”

Xiaolin, Wang Yu, and the others were both amazed and utterly puzzled.

To them, these ice spikes might have some lethality, but it’s very limited, unlikely to shock anyone, let alone scare them half to death.

While everyone was discussing.

Lu Li suddenly looked at Zhang Guocheng and jokingly said, ”If I destroy the wall of your villa, you wouldn’t ask me to pay, right?”

Zhang Guocheng chuckled and replied, ”If the wall breaks, we’ll just fix it, we have the money...”

Before he could finish speaking.

At the position where the ice spikes were floating.

Suddenly a cone-shaped misty object appeared.

Before everyone could react, wondering what this cone-shaped white mist was about.

In the next moment, with several booming sounds, earsplitting sonic booms suddenly erupted.

The sound was so intense.

It made everyone’s ears ring.

It felt like their eardrums were about to shatter!

Wang Yu, Xiaolin, Zhang Guocheng, and others, instantly lost their hearing.

Their hearing was temporarily lost due to the sonic boom, but their sight was unaffected.

Everyone just felt the house tremble, and then not far away, the wall suddenly burst apart!

Even though their hearing was momentarily impaired and they didn’t hear the sound of the explosion, the sight of the wall bursting and collapsing was too shocking, leaving them all stunned.

The wall in front of them showed several huge holes from top to bottom.

A large part of the wall, impacted by immense force, collapsed outward.

The remaining bottom part of the wall didn’t explode or collapse, but it was full of cracks, as if it would fall over with a push!

The outside grassy scene came into view!

Gusts of cool wind blew in from outside, hitting everyone’s face, feeling chilly.

Normally, with the cool breeze in May or June, one would feel comfortable.

However, whether it was Zhang Guocheng, Wang Yu, Xiaolin, or anyone else, at this moment, not only did they not find any comfort in the cool breeze brushing their faces, on the contrary, they were all so terrified that their hairs stood on end, and their hands and feet grew cold!

Casually creating ten or so ice spikes.

Could actually produce a ”sonic boom” during manipulation?

And shattered the wall like crumbling ruins?

Though the villa’s walls weren’t some blast-proof walls, they were still walls, capable of withstanding a force of thousands of kilograms without too much trouble.

Yet now, just a few thumb-thick ice spikes, their impact force exceeded a thousand kilograms?

A force of a thousand kilograms was indeed enough to destroy a wall.

But not to the extent of collapsing an entire section of wall like now.

Everyone could confidently say that the impact force of those ice spikes likely far exceeded a thousand kilograms!

What does this mean?

It means that even hiding in a car, those ice spikes could still pierce through and leave one deeply chilled!

Initially, everyone thought Lu Li’s ability to conjure flames indicated a lack of destructive power.

Now, seeing the power of the ice spikes, they realized their previous thoughts were completely wrong!

Lu Li didn’t lack powerful destructive means, he just hadn’t shown them before!

The most crucial thing is, none of them knows if Lu Li holds even more destructive means, or how many such powerful abilities he possesses.

For a moment, everyone in the room fell silent.

Zhang Guocheng stole a fear-filled glance at Lu Li.

Xiaolin and Wang Yu did the same, both not daring to look directly at Lu Li.

The rest of the people felt no different.

After witnessing such a terrifying scene.

They all felt a deep-seated awe towards Lu Li.

But Lu Li didn’t end his performance there.

Sitting up for the first time, he stood up.

Everyone looked over in confusion, not knowing why Lu Li stood up.

Looking around, seeing that everyone was avoiding eye contact with him, Lu Li was finally satisfied and said, ”That was just a small demonstration, now I will show you a real masterpiece!”
