Chapter 261: Beast Body Pill! Super Gene Restrictor! Third‑Generation Beast Body!

Soul Palace.

"This thing... can create a third‑generation Beast Body?"

Super God Chu Yang looked at the pill in his hand and felt the tone was a bit off.

"Exactly! Using system‑factor technology, we used the Demon King's flesh as a medium, fused the second‑generation Demon Gene with Chi You's bloodline, and forged this Beast Body Pill."

Marvel Chu Yang said eagerly, "Take it back and test it quickly; if it succeeds, we can mass‑produce third‑generation Beast Bodies using the Demon Gene!"

It was undeniably uplifting news; the combat power of a third‑generation Beast Body was not to be underestimated and could turn a war around under certain conditions.

But the problem is…

Super God Chu Yang made a strange face, "We still can't confirm whether this thing works or if it might cause deaths."

Magic Chu Yang said confidently, "Don't worry! In the worst case it only creates a first‑generation Beast Body; there's no mortality rate."

At that moment, One Punch Chu Yang stepped out of the nebula, excitedly shouting, "Brothers! I succeeded!"

Everyone's spirits lifted as One Punch Chu Yang continued, "Since acquiring the Demon Gene, I've been trying to fuse Limitless Substance with it."

"Just now, it succeeded! And it's extremely stable!"

Limitless Substance is the special material extracted earlier from the Uncertified Knight bloodline factor, capable of breaking through the Restrictor.

The fusion of Limitless Substance with the Demon Gene means that…

Super God Chu Yang will be able, using Limitless Substance, to unlock the evolutionary shackles of the Super Gene in the Super God World, granting any Super Warrior limitless growth potential!

Mass‑producing third‑generation Beast Bodies, plus breaking the Super Gene Restrictor…

Super God Chu Yang seemed to envision a spectacular scene of a group of fourth‑generation Divine Body‑level forces beating the fifth‑generation Hua Ye.

"I'll further research to find a medium that lets Limitless Substance actively merge into the Super Gene," One Punch Chu Yang knew the significance of this.

Although the fusion of Limitless Substance with the Demon Gene succeeded, it required external intervention.

Simply put, injecting Limitless Substance directly into a Super Warrior would likely result in both coexisting, yet distinctly separate.

"I'll try adding Limitless Substance to the Beast Body Pill!" Ming Empire Chu Yang cracked his fists.

If this research succeeds, the third‑generation Beast Bodies they create will possess growth potential.

One is creation, the other modification; with the Beast Body Pill already achieved, the former is clearly easier.

At that moment, Hokage Chu Yang sighed, "Unfortunately, the Demon Gene and the Nuo Star Gene Chain are incompatible…"

Super God Chu Yang pondered briefly, then said, "The prototype of the Nuo Star Gene Chain has some issues. I'll try to obtain Zhao Xin's blood sample; between De Star and Nuo Star's Super Genes there may be a commonality that could solve the problem."

"The Shenhe Gene is ancient; even Shenhe Power was created by Jilan in cooperation with De Star. Few genes are known to be compatible with the Shenhe Gene Chain; if we can break the Gene Chain's Restrictor, compatibility might expand!"

The group debated intensely, then assigned clear tasks and departed.

Back in the Super God World, Chu Yang took out the Beast Body Pill and screened suitable targets.

Hou Ge's example was there, proving that Beast Bodies and Super Genes can coexist.

So Chu Yang's first thought was the Valiant Troop Company.

But he didn't plan to use it on Qi Lin; if it caused irreversible half‑beast transformation, the thought of hugging a furry girlfriend made Chu Yang shiver.

He quickly abandoned the Valiant Troop Company as a target, because any change would be impossible to hide and would cause trouble once discovered.

Since they couldn't act from the official side, the candidate had to be more cautious; even if they vanished suddenly, it wouldn't cause much impact.

After much thought, Chu Yang's eyes lit up.

Beast Body!

It doesn't have to be a human target! So he directly contacted his secretary and asked her to bring back a ferocious dog.

He expected the secretary to bring back a Tibetan Mastiff or a Rottweiler, but never imagined she'd bring a Bulldog!

Chu Yang found the dog's face amusing, yet he kept it.

Since the Beast Body Pill is taken, any animal's combat power after evolution won't be affected.

Chu Yang stared into the Bulldog's eyes; the Bulldog's gaze went hollow for a moment, then cleared.

The first time using Dao‑Heart Seed Demon on a dog, Chu Yang felt something was odd, but the effect spoke for itself.

Two days later, Qi Lin returned to the Giant Gorge, reporting to Thus Character: Thus Character: Thus Character: Thus Character: Thus Character: Thus Character: Thus Character: Thus Character: Thus Character: Thus Character: Thus Character: Thus Character: Thus Character: Dukaao about the past three days' "hardship."

Chu Yang, with Hong Lei, plunged into the Taklamakan Desert.

Hong Lei was the name he gave the Bulldog—vivid and apt.

The birth of a third‑generation Beast Body would surely generate massive dark‑energy fluctuations; even if detected, only god‑level beings could arrive to investigate.

On Earth now, such beings are few: the wandering Morgana, the incognito Hou Ge, and Lena aboard the Giant Gorge.

Hou Ge is unlikely to come; Lena is far slower than the other two, so by the time she arrives, Chu Yang will have already left with Hong Lei.

As for Morgana?

His scholar status can completely brush her off.

In the desert's center, the scorching sun and dry air made Hong Lei uneasy, panting constantly.

"Here!" Chu Yang first performed a Wu‑Wei transformation, altering his soul and appearance, then tossed the Beast Body Pill out.

Hong Lei didn't think, leapt, and swallowed it whole.

A faint red glow emanated from its soft fur; then Hong Lei suddenly began to bark wildly, eyes full of terror, darting and leaping restlessly.

A moment later, it suddenly fell silent, thumped onto the ground, tongue hanging, like an old dog on its last legs.

After a few minutes, Hong Lei's body began to change.

Its body swelled like a balloon, limbs reshaped, and in the blink of an eye it became a three‑meter‑tall, hulking… dog‑head humanoid?

In the Super God World, humans are the universe's most perfect form, so any species, once evolved sufficiently, tends toward humanoid shape, with some races retaining original traits.

The towering build and bulging muscles left no doubt of explosive power, but the dog head—or that face—was undeniably comical.

Of course, the humor was only for Chu Yang.

Seeing its goofy demeanor, Chu Yang felt it necessary to get it a set of clothes.

This problem is easy to solve; although we can't obtain the Valiant Soldier Regiment's black armor, once the war erupts, won't the Taotie Legion's armor be abundant?

"Come on! Give me a punch!"

With the effect of a Dao‑heart demonic seed, Hong Lei can understand Chu Yang's words; absolute loyalty leaves him no hesitation, and he raises his hand to deliver a thunderous punch.

Chu Yang extends his palm and catches it steadily, his eyes suddenly flashing.

Third‑Generation Beast Body! This punch makes his arm tingle slightly, definitely reaching the Third‑Generation Beast Body! However, Hong Lei has just completed his evolution and cannot fully control his own power; all abilities still need further development.

When he can wield the Beast Body at will, it will be a genuine Third‑Generation Beast Body! "Can you revert to your original form?" Chu Yang looks at the 'Xiao Juren' before him, feeling a bit annoyed.

Bringing such a big fellow back to the city, you can't hide him at all! Hong Lei nods, then his body rapidly shrinks, finally returning to its original shape.

Chu Yang shows a faint smile; he knows this shape‑shifting method must be linked to Chi You's bloodline.

He pats Hong Lei on the head, and just as Chu Yang is about to unleash Flying Thunder God, a figure suddenly appears before him.

In a camel‑colored trench coat and black silk boots, the formally non‑demon‑queen‑attired Moganna, or rather… Liang Bing.

"You?"

Seeing Chu Yang, Moganna is quite surprised.

Chu Yang smiles and asks, "Haven't you found the Spacetime Crystal yet?"

Moganna narrows her eyes and says, "You have the nerve to ask me that? Earth is so big, where do you expect the queen to look?"

Chu Yang spreads his hands and says, "Compared to the vast universe, on this tiny Earth, spending some time will eventually find it."

Moganna doesn't linger on the topic, because Chu Yang is right; although the Spacetime Crystal leaves no trace, she can only search for it piece by piece.

But time, that thing, holds little meaning for a god.

She was misled by Chu Yang's information, believing that the possibly "mutated" Spacetime Crystal resides in some corner of Earth, so she didn't think of the Valiant Soldier Regiment.

She tried infiltrating various national networks, but the term "Spacetime Crystal" has never appeared on Earth.

This was actually a small trick by Thus Character: Thus Character: Thus Character: Thus Character: Thus Character: Thus Character: Thus Character: Thus Character: Thus Character: Thus Character: Thus Character: Thus Character: Thus Character: Dukaao; he didn't want Qiangwei to enter the view of major civilizations too early, so the file only records that Qiangwei is the last unfinished god‑making project of the Denor Star System, without mentioning Spacetime Crystals or Spacetime Genes.

But once the war erupts, such things cannot stay hidden.

Moganna looks at Hong Lei, furrows her brow and asks, "Is this… a Third‑Generation Beast Body?"

A white glow envelops her eyes, and a flash of shock passes through Moganna's gaze.

"Some demonic genes are present, but another part cannot be decoded; what substance can reconcile both?"

Moganna hasn't felt such a strong thirst for knowledge in a long time; on Chu Yang she repeatedly encounters phenomena that known universal knowledge cannot explain.

It suddenly gives her the same reckless urge, as in those days, to plunge into research.

But reason tells her that Chu Yang is very off, just like Karl!

"We've made some minor progress on demonic gene research; if you're interested, we can cooperate." Chu Yang smiles like a fox.

Moganna says nothing, unusually falling silent.

"If you don't want to, fine; nothing else, I'm leaving!"

Chu Yang waves his hand, and as he departs mutters, "Earth is about to go chaotic; I don't want to get tangled in trouble…"

With those words, he and Hong Lei vanish from the spot.

Moganna's eyes blaze with white light, yet as before she cannot decipher the power Chu Yang wielded, only sensing faint spatial fluctuations with no trace.

Immediately, Moganna's gaze flickers slightly, and her figure vanishes from the spot.

The next moment, a blazing light tears through space, and a woman with signature flaming red lips steps out of the glare.

The woman looks around, frowns and mutters, "How can such a massive dark energy fluctuation appear on Earth?"

But in the end she finds no trace, and leaves with lingering doubt.

"I said… you just had to bring a… dog?"

On the helicopter, Qiangwei watches Hong Lei, who keeps looking outward without any hint of fear, her expression hesitant.

Chu Yang retorts, "What? The Giant Gorge doesn't allow dogs?"

Qiangwei is speechless, because the Giant Gorge indeed has no explicit ban on dogs; it's just that no one has done so.

Especially considering they are all super‑powered beings, the Valiant Soldier Regiment's regulations are quite lax.

"Chu Yang, who taught you your kung fu?" Qiangwei asks a question she's been holding for a long time.

Chu Yang asks back, "Are you a member of the Valiant Soldier Regiment?"

"Um… yes…" Qiangwei replies, confused.

Chu Yang adds, "Then you should address me as instructor, not call me by my given name."

"You…" Qiangwei is a bit angry but can't vent, because Chu Yang is stating the truth.

One setback after another leaves Qiangwei completely silent, no longer speaking.

Chu Yang strokes Hong Lei's head; he uses the Wu Wei transformation to make some alterations to Hong Lei, then seals its power with a Shushan seal spell.

For a Third‑Generation Beast Body, the seal spell has limited effect, but Hong Lei offers Chu Yang no defense and no resistance, allowing the seal's effect to reach its fullest.

The helicopter lands on the Giant Gorge's deck, and Thus Character: Thus Character: Thus Character: Thus Character: Thus Character: Thus Character: Thus Character: Thus Character: Thus Character: Thus Character: Thus Character: Thus Character: Thus Character: Dukaao personally greets them, bringing along Qilin, both showing importance and playing the emotional card.

Chu Yang steps down from the helicopter; Thus Character: Thus Character: Thus Character: Thus Character: Thus Character: Thus Character: Thus Character: Thus Character: Thus Character: Thus Character: Thus Character: Thus Character: Thus Character: Dukaao warmly shakes his hand and laughs, "Mr. Chu Yang, welcome to the Black Great Wall Project!"

His gaze inadvertently flicks over Hong Lei, and Thus Character: Thus Character: Thus Character: Thus Character: Thus Character: Thus Character: Thus Character: Thus Character: Thus Character: Thus Character: Thus Character: Thus Character: Thus Character: Dukaao's mouth twitches slightly.

The Giant Gorge can be called a military base, and of the highest authorization level, yet a dog shows up—this is rather odd.

In the conference room, Thus Character: Thus Character: Thus Character: Thus Character: Thus Character: Thus Character: Thus Character: Thus Character: Thus Character: Thus Character: Thus Character: Thus Character: Thus Character: Dukaao hands Chu Yang the files and data concerning the Valiant Soldier Regiment, including detailed information on its members and brief overviews of their abilities.

Chu Yang scans them in a glance, then shows just the right amount of surprise, asking, "Is this… Sun Wukong the legendary one?"

"You could say so…" Thus Character: Thus Character: Thus Character: Thus Character: Thus Character: Thus Character: Thus Character: Thus Character: Thus Character: Thus Character: Thus Character: Thus Character: Thus Character: Dukaao nods.

After a moment of contemplation, Chu Yang adds, "I have many affairs; I won't stay here continuously, at most I can spare two days a week."

Thus Character: Thus Character: Thus Character: Thus Character: Thus Character: Thus Character: Thus Character: Thus Character: Thus Character: Thus Character: Thus Character: Thus Character: Thus Character: Dukaao smiles gladly, "No problem! Two days are enough!"

「You will be the chief instructor of the Heroic Soldiers Legion, with Sun Wukong and Jiegusiding as deputy instructors. 」

「When you are not around, the two of them will handle the training arrangements. 」

Chu Yang understood that Thus Character: Thus Character: Thus Character: Thus Character: Thus Character: Thus Character: Thus Character: Thus Character: Thus Character: Thus Character: Thus Character: Thus Character: Thus Character: Dukaao made him the chief instructor because Houge and Jiegusiding didn't care about such matters, and wanted to bind him by giving him a position.

「When does the training start? 」 Chu Yang got straight to the point.

Thus Character: Thus Character: Thus Character: Thus Character: Thus Character: Thus Character: Thus Character: Thus Character: Thus Character: Thus Character: Thus Character: Thus Character: Thus Character: Dukaao said: 「We have already summoned all members of the Heroic Soldiers Legion; they will all arrive at Giant Canyon City before tonight. 」

「Training starts tomorrow; before boarding the Giant Canyon, they must become qualified warriors! 」

Chu Yang nodded, 「Then I'll go to Giant Canyon City tonight to meet them first! 」(End of chapter)
