Lin Feng did not pursue the matter further. The matter of the fleshworm dire beast would be handled by the Chief Commander and other inhuman experts. He had not broken the genetic lock, so it was pointless to worry about these matters.

The most important thing for Lin Feng now was to break the genetic lock. After all, he only had a year left.

Lin Feng stayed in the hospital for three more days. Then, he insisted on being discharged despite the doctor’s reluctance. The hospital also gave Lin Feng a thorough checkup. Apart from the strange illness, he did not have any other injuries, so he agreed to Lin Feng’s request for discharge.

However, before he was discharged, Lin Feng wanted to visit Yu Shan. After all, he and Yu Shan had gone through life-or-death trials together, and formed a friendship between life and death.

Yu Shan’s ward was not far from Lin Feng’s. After asking the doctor about Yu Shan’s ward, he packed up and rushed over immediately.

Ina spacious ward, a person was lying in the white hospital bed. His entire body was covered in bandages.

Lin Feng walked up cautiously and realized that Yu Shan had already opened his eyes. However, his gaze appeared very despondent, and he looked listless.

“Yu Shan.” Lin Feng called out.

“Lin Feng? Congratulations on being discharged.”

“Yeah, my injuries are healed. How are you feeling?”

“How else can I be? I’ll probably be transferred away from the frontline after some time.”

...

Lin Feng felt that Yu Shan seemed very demoralized and dispirited. Didn’t he just suffer some injuries? Modern medical technology was very advanced. Even if he was injured, he should be able to slowly recover after recuperation.

Just as Lin Feng was guessing about what was going on with Yu Shan, a female nurse walked in from outside the ward.

The nurse said softly, “Yu Shan, it’s time to change the dressings.”

With that, the nurse lifted Yu Shan’s blanket. Lin Feng was slightly stunned as he stared intently at Yu Shan’s legs. Yu Shan’s pants were empty. He no longer had legs.

The female nurse carefully applied the medicine and left the ward. Seeing Lin Feng’s shocked expression, Yu Shan said in a desolate tone, “I’ve had my legs amputated. No matter how advanced medical technology is, no matter how good the conditions they can provide me, it can’t regrow my legs.”

“Tm finished. My path of martial arts is also finished. Actually, this is just as well. I’ve carried too many burdens of the family. When I return this time, I can rest properly and won’t have to risk my life at the frontline anymore.”

Although there was still a smile on Yu Shan’s lips, Lin Feng could tell that Yu Shan’s smile was very forced.

How painful was it for a genius martial artist to have his limbs severed and lose the ability to pursue the way of martial arts?

“Yu Shan, if [hadn’t asked you to buy me a minute, you wouldn’t have ended up like this.”

Lin Feng was filled with guilt. Yu Shan’s current state was largely due to him. In order to buy Lin Feng a minute, Yu Shan was seriously injured and had no choice but to amputate his leg, which was how he ended up like this.

Yu Shan smiled weakly and shook his head. “Lin Feng, how can this be your fault? If not for you, I’m afraid I’d be long dead. Moreover, Dragon Mountain Base suffered heavy losses. You did nothing wrong. You even avenged Shui Yuansheng and Gao Tianci. As for me, that was fate. From the moment I

came to the frontline, I was prepared for this. It has nothing to do with you.”

“Yu Shan, if there’s anything I can do to help, just tell me.”

“Don’t worry, I’m fine. If anything really happens, I’ll find you for sure. After all, you and I have a friendship transcending life and death. I won’t stand on ceremony. However, you have to break the genetic lock as soon as possible. Otherwise, you might not be able to handle it when I ask you for help.”

Seeing that Yu Shan was only a little despondent, but had not completely lost his spirit, Lin Feng smiled and said, “I promise I won’t disappoint you. Recuperate well. If you’re going to leave the frontline, tell me so that I can send you off.”

Lin Feng and Yu Shan exchanged contact information. Then, he bade Yu Shan farewell and left.

After Lin Feng left, the smile on Yu Shan’s face quickly faded. He muttered in a low voice, “I really envy you. You can still continue on the path of martial arts and break the genetic lock, but I can already see the rest of my life

After leaving the ward, Lin Feng lifted his head and looked at the sky. Between the blue sky and the white clouds, the weather was rather fair today, and the sun shone warmly on him. However, Lin Feng did not feel any trace of happiness. Rather, his heart was somewhat heavy.

Shui Yuansheng and Gao Tianci were both killed in battle, and Yu Shan was seriously injured and crippled. His path of martial arts had ended. For the first time, Lin Feng realized the cruelty of the frontline.

With the current level of technology, it was impossible to completely fix Yu Shan’s legs. Of course, it was not entirely out of the question. If Yu Shan could break the genetic lock and become inhuman, he would have the chance of using the opportunity of “metamorphosis” after breaking the genetic lock to

restructure his genes, and he would naturally be able to regrow his legs.

However, there was only one chance. Moreover, it was difficult enough to break the genetic lock if Yu Shan had all his limbs, let alone now that he was crippled. How could he break the genetic lock when he could not even continue down the path of martial arts?

Actually, Lin Feng himself was in similar straits. His body was whole, and furthermore, he was very strong. He had become the hero of the Dragon Mountain Base, renowned as the martial artist who had the greatest chance of breaking the genetic lock. However, only Lin Feng himself knew that he had

but a year left. If he could not break the genetic lock, restructure his genes, and cure his strange illness, he would have to face death.

Hence, Lin Feng was under a lot of pressure as well. He faced the threat of death almost constantly. Anyone with a slightly weaker will would not be able to withstand such torment.

However, Lin Feng managed to endure it. He had to persevere in order to break the genetic lock. Fortunately, he was unprecedentedly powerful now. Moreover, according to Chief Commander Long Duo, he had actually “seen” the genetic lock.

However, for some unknown reason, his body did not undergo metamorphosis. In other words, once he found the reason, it was very likely that he would begin to metamorphose and become inhuman.

“Tl make a trip to the training room first.”

Lin Feng had to test his current strength first. Due to fusing the genes of the fleshworm dire beast, Lin Feng’s attributes had increased by a lot. Although Lin Feng could control the power in his body, it wasn’t as precise as before.

Arriving at the training room, there were professional strength testing devices. There were also some patients in the hospital who were undergoing rehabilitative training, They were all very surprised to see Lin Feng, and greeted him one after another.

“Senior Lin Feng.”

“Senior Lin Feng has recovered. This is great.”

“Senior Lin Feng was actually able to kill a dire beast king. That’s amazing, He might be able to break the genetic lock soon and become the 17th inhuman expert at the Dragon Mountain Base!”

This hospital was exclusive to the Myriad Academy in the Dragon Mountain Base. Therefore, all the martial artists who could recuperate here were students of the Myriad Academy.

The news of Lin Feng turning the tide and killing the dire beast king had now spread throughout the entire Dragon Mountain Base. There were very few people who did not know Lin Feng.

Now, Lin Feng was the hero and savior of Dragon Mountain Base. Naturally, he would receive attention wherever he went.

“Td like to use the training instrument.”

Lin Feng also smiled in response to each of them.

“Senior Lin Feng, you go first. We can wait a little longer.”

Hearing that Lin Feng wanted to use the instrument to test his strength, all the martial artists in the training room crowded together. They wanted to see just how strong the Lin Feng who could kill a dire beast king was..
