Super Gene Ⅱ: Evolution

Lin Shen's memory had indeed improved a lot on Celestial Star, his mind felt clearer, much better than before.

If the Jade Emperor were to report names in front of him now, he should be able to remember them all in one go.

However, the Heaven and Celestial Beings Skill sprawled over ten thousand characters, many of which were awkward and hard to comprehend, so expecting him to memorize it all at once was rather unfair to him.

The kind of memory that Tian Buluo referred to was based on the standards of Celestials, which was significantly superior to human memory. Lin Shen was just of average human level; even with the enhancement from the environment of the Celestial Star, it was impossible for him to remember ten thousand words just by listening once.

"I'd rather not learn at all," said Lin Shen, who had no interest in the Heaven and Celestial Beings Skill from the start, and Tian Buluo's astonished expression only decreased his interest even more.

"No problem, no problem. It's my fault for reciting too quickly. It's normal not to remember. I'll slow down the speed and go over it again," Tian Buluo hastily said.

He needed to use the excuse of teaching Lin Shen the Heaven and Celestial Beings Skill to stay at the Silent Residence for free, so he had to get Lin Shen hooked.

Ignoring what Lin Shen said, Tian Buluo recited the skill again, deliberately slowing down and giving Lin Shen detailed explanations sentence by sentence, fearing that he would not understand or remember.

Yet, this only increased the amount Lin Shen had to memorize, making it even more difficult for him to recall.

As Lin Shen listened, he even started to feel sleepy and couldn't help but yawn; his interest in the Heaven and Celestial Beings Skill waned even further.

After Tian Buluo's detailed explanation, Lin Shen could understand some of it, though he was still far from completely grasping it. However, one thing was sure: cultivating the Heaven and Celestial Beings Skill was very tedious, requiring one to calmly comprehend the laws of all things in the world, to achieve a state where they could sense the response from heaven and earth.

Lin Shen had always been an impatient person, save for the moments of quiet when reading or sleeping. The thought of tranquilly contemplating the universe was simply not his cup of tea; this practice wasn't suited for him at all.

The Immortality Scripture, which focused on sleeping, was a much better fit for Lin Shen's temperament.

The less interested he was, the harder it was to remember. Lin Shen would forget the beginning after hearing the end and forget the end after memorizing the beginning.

Tian Buluo repeated himself over and over, veins bulging on his forehead and nearly running out of saliva, yet he still couldn't get Lin Shen to completely memorize the Heavenly Heart Skill.

"Prince, why don't you write down the Heaven and Celestial Beings Skill and look at it slowly later?" Lin Shen genuinely felt it was too boring to stay interested in learning.

"No, Heaven and Celestial Beings Skill must not be put on paper," Tian Buluo certainly wouldn't let Lin Shen write it down; if Lin Shen remembered everything, how would he justify staying here to explain it to him?

Tian Buluo realized that Lin Shen wasn't intentionally making it difficult for him; he genuinely couldn't remember. Of course, he also understood that Lin Shen really wasn't interested in the Heaven and Celestial Beings Skill, hence his lack of dedication.

After all, Lin Shen wasn't cultivating the Heavenly Heart Skill, and the Heaven and Celestial Beings Skill had very limited benefits for him, so it made sense for him to be uninterested.

"Once you are able to sense the Immortal Law's Residual Rhythm within the Silent Residence, you won't give up on it even if I tell you not to," Tian Buluo thought, and continued to teach Lin Shen over and over again.

After practicing for an entire afternoon, as the sky darkened, Lin Shen finally memorized the complete mantra of the Heaven and Celestial Beings Skill without missing a single word.

"You try it now, see if you can sense anything," Tian Buluo said.

"It's getting late. Shall we try again tomorrow?" Lin Shen had been yawning nonstop, genuinely not wanting to learn anymore.

"It's already this late, huh? I felt an instant connection with you, Brother Tian. My place is quite far from here, so I'll just stay over at your place tonight, and we can talk late into the night by candlelight," Tian Buluo said.

"You don't sleep at night?" Lin Shen was somewhat speechless, thinking to himself, "An instant connection my ass, you just like playing teacher. You've been teaching me all afternoon, and if it weren't for your status as a prince, I would have kicked you out long ago."

"True friends are hard to find, and meeting you, Brother Tian, I'm so excited I couldn't possibly sleep," Tian Buluo's acting skills skyrocketed, putting on an air as if he'd found someone who truly understood his music.

"Prince, I'm really tired, let's talk about it tomorrow," Lin Shen sighed.

"No worries at all, you go back to your room and rest. I'll wait here for you until you wake up, then we can chat," Tian Buluo quickly said.

"Fine then." Since the other party was, after all, a prince, Lin Shen didn't feel it was his place to send him away and could only retreat to his own bedroom.Nôv(el)B\\jnn

Seeing Lin Shen finally leave, Tian Buluo was in high spirits. Sitting on the balcony, he looked at the "Heaven and Celestial Beings Skill" inscribed on the mountain cliffs and began to comprehend the Immortal Law's Residual Rhythm that lingered there.

Lin Shen lay in bed, summoning a Contrarian to guard inside the door. If Tian Buluo made any unusual moves, he would know immediately, ensuring he wasn't caught off guard by any scheming.

He didn't believe in this instant connection or the meeting of minds through music; Tian Buluo surely had some ulterior motive for coming here.

Lin Shen just hadn't figured out whether Tian Buluo's intentions were directed towards him or this Silent Residence.

When Lin Shen woke up, he found that his Base Mutation rate had increased a bit. Although it was much slower than when he first arrived, the fact that he could increase his Base Mutation rate without doing anything was already a huge windfall.

Seeing that Tian Buluo was still sitting on the balcony outside, with no unusual movements, Lin Shen retracted the Contrarian and also stepped out of the wooden house to join him on the balcony.

"Brother Tian, are you awake?" Tian Buluo, seeing Lin Shen come out, stood up and said, "Brother Tian, shall we practice the 'Heaven and Celestial Beings Skill' together?"

"Aren't you hungry? Let's eat something first," Lin Shen said, somewhat exasperated.

"Here on Celestial Star, there's an abundance of Immortal Law Power. Therefore, the energy concentration in the air is much stronger than on other planets. Merely breathing in the energy is enough to sustain life. Most people in this place even run the risk of having excessive energy and don't need to eat," Tian Buluo explained.

"Is that so?" Only then did Lin Shen realize that he indeed didn't feel hungry.

"Not only that but, as Ascenders like us, just by living here without doing anything, both the Base Mutation rate and the rebirth count of Life Base will gradually increase, though the rate of increase is slow. With just a little effort in cultivation, even without using Ascension Liquid and Spirit Base, the rate of advancement would be quite rapid," Tian Buluo continued to enlighten Lin Shen.

Only then did Lin Shen discover why his Base Mutation rate had increased even though he had not done anything. Celestial Star truly was a training ground for the Heavenly Emperor, and indeed it was exceedingly comfortable, allowing one to improve their level even while lying down.

The only thing that troubled Lin Shen was that Tian Buluo wanted to drag him into practicing the 'Heaven and Celestial Beings Skill' again.

"Brother Tian, the battle for racial ranking is only a few months away. Don't you want to fight for honor for your race? If you can comprehend even a bit of the Immortal Law's Residual Rhythm, it will surely be beneficial then," said Tian Buluo, throwing out another piece of news when he saw Lin Shen unwilling to engage with him.
