Super Gene Ⅱ: Evolution

He rubbed his eyes and looked again; the fine strings on Tian Buluo's body had disappeared.

"Indeed, I'm thinking too much. One shouldn't indulge in wild flights of fancy." Lin Shen breathed a sigh of relief and continued to watch for a while, but gradually, he began to see those fine strings on Tian Buluo's body again.

Those strings seemed as if they extended from the void, connecting to Tian Buluo's body, pulling and manipulating his movements.

To others, Tian Buluo appeared to move with the laws of nature, embodying the harmonious beauty of Unity with Heaven and Man; however, through Lin Shen's eyes, Tian Buluo seemed to be pulled by those void strings, like a marionette.

Lin Shen shook his head and rubbed his eyes again. When he looked once more, the void strings on Tian Buluo's body had vanished.

Yet, after focusing intently for a while, he could see those void strings again.

"What's the matter... Is there something wrong with my eyes... or are there really those strings on Tian Buluo's body..." Lin Shen was full of doubt and uncertainty, not knowing what was happening with his eyes.

Lin Shen repeatedly tested this several times, and the result was always the same: as long as he concentrated and watched Tian Buluo, just as one would observe another person's pressure points, he could see those void strings on Tian Buluo's body.

It wasn't until Tian Buluo emerged from that state of Unity with Heaven and Man that Lin Shen could no longer see the void strings on his body.

"Haha, I've finally made another breakthrough, gaining a deeper understanding of the Heaven and Celestial Beings Skill, and I've reached the realm of Unity of Heaven and Man. The highest realm, the God Ghost Realm, is only a matter of time now," Tian Buluo excitedly declared.

"Prince, when you were in the state of Unity with Heaven and Man just now, did you see anything?" Seeing that Tian Buluo was speaking to him, Lin Shen asked.

He wanted to know if Tian Buluo could see the void strings on his own body. If Tian Buluo could also see them, that would mean Lin Shen's eyes were normal.

"You can see them?" Tian Buluo looked at Lin Shen with some surprise.

"I saw a little." Lin Shen breathed a long sigh of relief inwardly. It seemed that the appearance of those void strings on Tian Buluo's body was normal and probably the effect of the Heaven and Celestial Beings Skill.

Hearing Lin Shen claim he could see a little, Tian Buluo was even more surprised: "I have comprehended the Skill of Unity with Heaven and Man, merging my body with the Way of Heaven and possessing a sense of unity with the heavens, vaguely able to glimpse a trace of the Heavenly Dao Laws. And you can actually see it too?"

"What Heavenly Dao Laws? Are you talking about those strings?" Lin Shen frowned slightly, vaguely feeling that what Tian Buluo was describing was a bit different from what he said.

"What strings? I'm talking about the Heavenly Dao Laws, the operational rules of all things in heaven and earth, indescribable and formless. Using the term 'strings' to compare might not be quite appropriate..." Tian Buluo checked his clothes and saw no strings.

"Hmm, maybe our ways of expressing it are different. I'm referring to those rules as well," Lin Shen could now be sure that Tian Buluo couldn't see the strings.

But what he referred to as the operational rules of all things in heaven and earth probably were the strings Lin Shen saw, as it was those strings that were guiding Tian Buluo's movements. In Tian Buluo's perception, that must be the Heavenly Dao Laws.

Lin Shen wanted to know if, aside from himself, anyone else could see the strings on Tian Buluo's body, but unfortunately, there were only the two of them there, so there was no way to verify it.

"Brother Tian, I've just grasped the realm of Unity with Heaven and Man. Would you accompany me in a practice to see how it fares in actual combat?" Tian Buluo, not noticing Lin Shen's peculiarity, excitedly asked Lin Shen to be his sparring partner, wanting to know the effect of this realm in real combat.

"Sure." Lin Shen agreed at once. He also wanted to try and see if he could detect those void strings in actual combat.

"Brother Tian, just attack as you wish, I have my own ways of responding," the two moved outside, and Tian Buluo said with full confidence.

Lin Shen directly used the skill of the Thousand Men's Pointer, employing extremely covert techniques to point at Tian Buluo's body.

It was odd. Lin Shen's hand technique was already incredibly concealed, yet as soon as his finger moved, Tian Buluo reacted, evading Lin Shen's finger effortlessly and naturally.

"Really, it's possible... Again… attack me with your strongest technique..." Tian Buluo said.

Lin Shen executed Thousand Men's Pointer, his finger flicking towards Tian Buluo like a phantom.

His finger technique changed unpredictably, but Tian Buluo always managed to evade or block his finger naturally every time.

No matter how varied Lin Shen's moves were, Tian Buluo could effortlessly counter them.

Lin Shen saw clearly that after entering the Unity of Heaven and Man state, Tian Buluo indeed manifested ethereal threads around him once again.

As soon as Lin Shen made a move, it was as if it triggered the ethereal threads on Tian Buluo's body, guiding Tian Buluo's form to perfectly counter Lin Shen's attacks.

No matter how fast Lin Shen moved, how strong his force was, or how stealthy his actions, he couldn't avoid affecting the ethereal threads.

As long as he moved, the ethereal threads would inevitably follow, as if the other end of the threads were connected to Lin Shen himself.

This thought startled Lin Shen, and he hastily checked his own body, relieved to see none of those ethereal threads on himself.

"What's wrong?" Tian Buluo looked at Lin Shen with confusion, wondering why, in the midst of fighting, Lin Shen had started looking at his own body, not attacking anymore.

"It's nothing. I just felt my clothes were a bit uncomfortable. Let's continue," Lin Shen said.

"Let me attack you this time. I want to see the effect of Unity of Heaven and Man when on the offensive," Tian Buluo said.

When Lin Shen had previously attacked, Tian Buluo had realized Lin Shen's skill level was very high, and his Attribute was also strong, so he had no reservations and directly used Unity of Heaven and Man to launch an attack on Lin Shen.

His approach was eerie yet natural, striking from angles no one could anticipate, as if that was exactly how it should be.

Every attack from Tian Buluo seemed to have the advantage of the right timing, location, and harmony.

Going with the flow, striking from an elevated position, making full use of everything at his disposal, it was as if the entire environment was aiding Tian Buluo.

Lin Shen deployed his movement technique and Finger Skill to grapple with Tian Buluo, only to be so suppressed that he struggled to counter and kept retreating.

Although his movement technique was derived from Yun's teachings, after mastering it, Lin Shen used it flawlessly.

Combined with the subtle changes of Thousand Men's Pointer, an average Ascender would likely be hit by Lin Shen within a few moves.

But from the beginning of the battle to now, Lin Shen had been under Tian Buluo's pressure, not being able to match him at the level of technique at all.

Every strike from Tian Buluo was flawless, in harmony with the Heavenly Dao, and not just Lin Shen, but anyone facing Tian Buluo would be unable to find a flaw.

"Heaven and Celestial Beings Skill, quite impressive!" Lin Shen marveled to himself.

If this weren't a spar, Lin Shen would now have to rely on sheer Strength, not playing a game of skills anymore.n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om
