Chapter 36: Thunder Marrow Fluid

The increase in gene multiplier not only boosts strength, genetic primal energy, and speed, but also neural response, defense, and so on.

After his power rose, continual training was required to master it, but the gene multiplier increase did not significantly reduce Xiao Yu's control over his strength; in just three days he restored perfect command over every strand of power within his body.

Having regained perfect control over every strand of power in his body, Xiao Yu finally had time to sort through the items in the Space Ring.

A thought flickered, and a crystal the size of one cubic centimeter, emitting a faint glow, floated before him.

"This is the Universe Crystal."

A Universe Crystal is a crystal formed from condensed Universe Primordial Energy, usable as currency or for cultivation absorption.

Xiao Yu felt the attraction emanating from that Universe Crystal and thought that since the system could absorb monster corpses that possessed genetic primal energy, perhaps it could also absorb a Universe Crystal to gain Wish Points.

Think it, do it!

"System, absorb this Universe Crystal."

【Absorbed 1 cubic centimeter of Universe Primordial Energy, obtained 1 Wish Copper Coin.】

"Developed!" Xiao Yu exclaimed with great joy.

Now he no longer had to worry about lacking Wish Points.

Xiao Yu directly took out a Universe Crystal one cubic decimeter in size—equivalent to 1,000 Cosmic Coins—and set it to absorb.

【Absorbed 1 cubic decimeter of Universe Primordial Energy, obtained 1,000 Wish Copper Coins.】

"System, check remaining Wish Points."

【Remaining: 1,022 Wish Copper Coins, 6,300 Wish Points.】

Xiao Yu continued to inspect the various weapons inside the Space Ring; each time he retrieved a weapon, he used the auxiliary light brain to appraise it.

After a week of continuous sorting, he finally had a rough understanding of his holdings.

The Space Ring contained 1,063 Force Weapons of various kinds, of which only 763 were intact, 300 partially damaged; among the intact weapons were 13 Fifth Tier Force Weapons, 692 Fourth Tier Force Weapons, and only 58 Third Tier Force Weapons.

These Force Weapons bore intricate Secret Patterns, and the higher the tier, the more complex the patterns.

What interested him most was the Fifth Tier Thunder Electric Force Weapon 'Purple Lightning Thunder Gun'.

Fifth Tier Force Weapons are Realm Lord weapons; the Origin Secret Patterns engraved on them approach the Cosmic Origin Law, and only by becoming a Realm Lord and possessing Origin Power can they be truly driven.

What struck Xiao Yu as odd was that among these Force Weapons, from Third to Sixth Tier, there were Thunder Electric weapons, yet their sizes were large—unsuitable for human stature and more akin to weapons for ten‑meter‑tall giants.

For example, among the Third Tier Force Weapons there were two Thunder Electric weapons, both of superior quality: one blade‑type, one axe‑type.

The blade‑type weapon, 'Sky Thunder Blade', was a double‑blade crafted from special material; its blade curved, 1.8 meters long, tip like a sting, and its handle was on the back of the blade, hollowed out to create a space for gripping.

The axe‑type weapon measured nearly four to five meters in total length.

Xiao Yu gripped the handle of the Sky Thunder Blade with both hands and instantly felt as if the Sky Thunder Blade had been forged for him.

"System, analyze the Sky Thunder Blade in my hand."

【Setup successful!】

【First Wish: Analyze Sky Thunder Blade (1 Wish Copper Coin)】

【Deducted 1 Wish Copper Coin!】

【Wish fulfilled, analysis successful!】

【Sky Thunder Blade is a Thunder Electric Tribe weapon forged by an Immortal Divine Spirit specifically for the tribe, a Third Tier superior-quality Thunder Electric Force Weapon; when used by a Thunder Electric genetic cultivator, it has two forms: the first requires mastery of at least three layers of Thunder Domain, the second requires at least seven layers of Thunder Domain.】

Xiao Yu was very satisfied with the Sky Thunder Blade.

But he was puzzled by the analysis content—why was the Sky Thunder Blade a Thunder Electric Tribe weapon?

Wasn't his Space Ring manifested by the system himself?

When he first obtained the Space Ring he thought the system had given a grand gift, only to realize it had been stolen from a Thunder Electric Tribe disciple.

Inside the Space Ring, besides the two spacecraft Xiao Yu dared not tamper with, the astonishing number of Universe Crystals, and a thousand Force Weapons, there were also two garments and twenty‑two jade boxes.

The auxiliary light brain identified the two garments as battle armors: one Fifth Tier Thunder Electric Force Armor, and one Third Tier Thunder Electric Force Armor.

Third Tier Force Armor is typically used by Universe-level strong cultivators, while Fifth Tier Force Armor is for Realm Lord‑level elites. To fully activate a Third Tier Force Armor, the wearer generally must cross the Law Threshold.

Xiao Yu stored the Fifth Tier Force Armor, donned the Third Tier Force Armor; at first it looked as if a giant wore it, but once on his body it automatically adjusted to fit perfectly.

The armor was deep blue overall, etched with purple Secret Patterns.

He then began to examine the items inside the jade box.

A thought flickered, and a jade box materialized before him; after slowly opening it, a Crystal Ball lay quietly inside.

"Could this be the Inherited Crystal Ball?" Xiao Yu exclaimed in astonishment.

Xiao Yu used the auxiliary light brain on his left wrist to try to identify the Crystal Ball, but after a long pause it gave no response.

"System, analyze the Crystal Ball before me."

【Setup successful!】

【First Wish: Analyze Crystal Ball (100 Wish Copper Coins)】

【Deducted 100 Wish Copper Coins!】

【Wish fulfilled, analysis successful!】

【Lightning Secret Technique Inherited Crystal Ball: forged by an Immortal Divine Spirit of the Thunder Electric Tribe for a prodigious disciple, containing the complete Lightning Law secret transmission】

"Now I'm truly developed!"

He continued to examine the second jade box, which bore strange Secret Patterns.

When the jade box opened, for a moment everything around dimmed, and only the teal surface, faintly still with droplet‑like fruit, shone brightest!

A teal radiance burst forth.

Rich, intoxicating fragrance wafted, filling the training chamber with vigorous vitality; the core source of all life was that teal fruit.

"Inhale!" Xiao Yu took a deep breath; the pervasive scent entered his body, every cell feeling an immense swelling, each intracellular structure rapidly evolving as if he had consumed a celestial treasure, genetic material racing to change, bones cracking with pop‑crackle sounds, muscles swiftly metamorphosing.

With that single breath, he felt he had already progressed more than half the way toward the Planetary‑Level First Tier path.

This feeling reminded Xiao Yu of the Life Fruit Luo Feng obtained while adventuring in the Realm Lord Small World.

Xiao Yu quickly closed the jade box, knowing how precious the Life Fruit is. Even a single such fruit, if a Realm Lord were to trade a whole star system for it, countless Realm Lords would be willing to make the exchange.

The Life Fruit is an exotic crystal in the vast universe, containing inconceivable vitality. Even a Realm Lord whose body harbors boundless power can fully recover from any consumption or injury with just one.

Xiao Yu used the auxiliary light brain to check his strength, "Strength: Gene Warrior Planetary Tier First Tier 73%."

This Life Fruit's tier is too high; using it now is not cost-effective, and its effect on plant life is even greater, so he'll wait until he can obtain plant life such as Mo Yun Vine before using it.

Xiao Yu was unsure what level of strong individual the Space Ring had been obtained from; the wealth contained within the Space Ring can only be owned by strong Realm Lords, yet why would a Realm Lord with such wealth not use a World Ring?

Perhaps it belonged to a Domain Lord‑level strongman within the Thunder Electric Tribe who is favored by Immortal or even Venerable Rank strongmen.

Regarding the remaining twenty jade boxes, Xiao Yu did not dare to open them recklessly; if there were more oddities like Life Fruits, even a loss the instant they were opened would be a pity.

"System analyzing the items inside the remaining twenty jade boxes."

【Setting successful!】

【First Wish: Items inside the twenty jade boxes (500 Wish Copper Coins)】

【Deduct 500 Wish Copper Coins!】

【Wish has been fulfilled, analysis successful!】

The names and uses of the items in the twenty jade boxes have been transmitted into Xiao Yu's mind.

Among these remaining twenty jade boxes, the most precious are the Space Secret Technique inheritance Crystal Sphere and the Time Secret Technique inheritance Crystal Sphere.

Next are the essence crystals of the Thunder Springs within the Thunder Electric Tribe—Thunder Marrow Fluid, which can increase the user's talent for perceiving the Lightning Law by a hundredfold.

Additionally there is one Life Fruit, as well as numerous Domain Lord‑level medicines and oddities that restore injuries using Force.

In other words, the Space Ring contains not only the Space, Time, and Lightning Law secret‑technique inheritance Crystal Spheres, but also two Life Fruits, a portion of Thunder Marrow Fluid that can boost talent perception, and numerous Force‑based injury‑healing items.

The value of these items far exceeds that of a Universe Crystal.

Xiao Yu hesitated about whether to use the Thunder Marrow Fluid now, because the system description states that even Thunder Electric Tribe members should wait until after Planetary Tier Ninth Level, or else their mortal bodies might not withstand the energy burst of the fluid and could die.

However, Xiao Yu has the system on his side and believes that under its protection he should be able to absorb it safely.

To prevent accidents that might harm the innocent, Xiao Yu packed away all the jade boxes and left the training chamber.

After boarding the Qiankun-class Intelligent Fighter, he commanded the Qiankun to hover at an altitude of 20,000 meters.

Xiao Yu transferred one cubic meter of Universe Crystal from the Space Ring for the system to absorb.

【Absorbed 1 cubic meter of Universe Primordial Energy, obtained 100 Wish Silver Coins.】

100 Wish Silver Coins, which equal one million Wish Copper Coins, or 100 billion Wish Points, should be sufficient for his temporary use.

"System set the First Wish to: Perfectly absorb Thunder Marrow Fluid."

【Setting successful!】

【First Wish: Perfectly absorb Thunder Marrow Fluid (3 Wish Silver Coins).】

He removed the Third‑Tier Force Armor and put on a loose training robe.

Xiao Yu took out the jade box containing the Thunder Marrow Fluid; as soon as it opened, threads of lightning crackled from the air.

Inside the jade box was a test tube about thumb‑wide, sealed with a special material, holding half a bottle of liquid that emitted a strong violet glow.

The method of using this Thunder Marrow Fluid is simple: remove the stopper, point the bottle's mouth at the navel, and the fluid will flow into the body through the navel.

Xiao Yu's fingertip touched the test tube, and strands of lightning coursed along his finger into his body; if his special ability were not of the lightning type, he would likely be paralyzed and faint at that moment.

Xiao Yu lifted the top of his loose training robe, exposing his navel.

After pulling out the test tube's stopper, lightning as thick as an arm instantly erupted from the void, continuously radiating outward.

Xiao Yu did not hesitate; he immediately pressed the bottle's mouth to his navel while silently chanting, "System, fulfill the First Wish."

【Wish Points are being deducted…】

【Wish is being realized…】

The violet Thunder Marrow Fluid, upon touching the navel, instantly entered Xiao Yu's entire body, splitting along various channels into countless tiny purple lightning strands that penetrated every tissue and cell.

Lightning energy is already ferocious, but the Thunder Marrow Fluid is thousands upon millions of times more ferocious than lightning.

This wildly ferocious Thunder Marrow Fluid reshapes Xiao Yu's cellular structure in an unparalleled savage manner, altering the brain and all other tissues.

Countless cells burst apart because they could not endure this savage evolutionary process.

The violet savage energy not only entered Xiao Yu's body but also traveled through unknown channels into his Sea of Knowledge, optimizing and reshaping his soul.

Xiao Yu felt pain emanating from his soul; the pain nearly made him faint, yet he could not lose consciousness and could only endure it passively.

Just as Xiao Yu's body was about to give out, the system's safeguard took effect.

Waves of life‑filled energy sprang from the void a fraction of an inch above Xiao Yu's head, continuously pouring into his body, entering every organ and cell.

Large surges of life energy also entered his Sea of Knowledge, constantly repairing his Knowledge Sea space and soul.

Xiao Yu's feeling improved only slightly.

The savage energy kept destroying while the life‑filled energy kept restoring, and this restoration did not revert to the original form but to the form reshaped by the savage energy's brutal alteration.

As if each had its own mission: one relentlessly performs savage transformation and optimization, the other persistently repairs.

This tug‑of‑war lasted a full day and night before ending.

【Wish already fulfilled】

Exhausted, Xiao Yu opened his eyes; the air was filled with a foul, fishy stench, and his loose training robe was already stained with blood.

Seeing his blood‑stained garments, Xiao Yu felt a surge; the genetic primal energy throughout his body trembled, and the training robe turned into ash that drifted into the air.

The blood‑stained patches attached to his body underwent the same; the micro‑planets inside him quivered slightly, and the blood patches turned into ash that was blown away.

The Qiankun‑class Intelligent Fighter performed frantic ventilation for a while, and the foul smell vanished.

Xiao Yu donned the Third‑Tier Force Armor again, closed his eyes and silently sensed his own changes; he found himself much stronger and felt tiny lightning throughout the void pulling at him.

At some point, two micro‑planets appeared in his dantian space—one larger in the center, and a smaller one orbiting the larger continuously.

Xiao Yu quickly used the auxiliary light brain to check his strength, "Strength: Gene Warrior Planetary Tier Second Tier 86%, amplitude 7×."

Reaching Planetary Tier Second Tier is truly an unexpected delight!

Suddenly, beneath the fighter jet, at an altitude of ten thousand meters, dark clouds gathered densely, and countless lightning bolts flickered.

Xiao Yu felt an extraordinary sense of intimacy in his heart, and he flew from the hatch at the bottom of the cockpit into the thundercloud, where countless lightning bolts entwined around him, yet they caused him no harm at all.

Instead, Xiao Yu felt as if he could control these lightning bolts; he was like a favored child of the lightning, playing amidst the thunderstorm.

Three hours later, after the thunderstorm had passed, Xiao Yu finally returned to the interior of the Qiankun-class Intelligent Fighter.

"System, check remaining Wish Points."

"【Remaining: 95 Wish Silver Coins.】"

It seems the Wish Points used this time exceeded five Wish Silver Coins, far higher than the system's estimate.
