White spots on the legs.

In addition to the faint white patterns emanating from its pupils.

It seems that he is no different from ordinary people.

"Look, can I be enhanced?"

Ye Li continued to press for answers.

After all, who can withstand such a cool move as slicing bullets with a knife?

However, Bai Yuekui shook his head without hesitation and slowly said, "No, with the current conditions, it is impossible to create a gene-enhancing drug."

"..."

Upon hearing this answer, Ye Li immediately deflated like a punctured balloon, listless and extremely disappointed.

However, still unwilling to give up, he picked up a bone and threw it forcefully at the stone wall across the lake.

As a result, before the bone could even fly over the lake, it arced through the air and fell into the water.

A series of 'plop, plop' sounds suddenly echoed across the lake.

The fish in the lake were frantically fighting over the hard-won bone.

"Chirp! Chirp!"

—Let me give it a try!

The little stone monkey didn't understand why the two people were throwing bones onto the stone wall.

But seeing how much fun they were having, it became very interested in them.

He casually picked up a bone and threw it with all his might toward the stone wall on the opposite bank of the lake.

"brush!"

The bone, like a sharp arrow, plunged straight into the stone wall with a fierce momentum.

"This...this..."

Ye Li looked at the little stone monkey in surprise.

Ever since the AK47 was introduced, Little Stone Monkey has been fighting with a gun.

It has almost never shown its true strength.

Ye Li had almost forgotten that this guy was also a divine beast.

"Your pet is quite impressive."

Bai Yuekui glanced at the bones embedded in the stone wall, but unlike Ye Li, he didn't show any particular surprise on his face. He simply gave a light compliment.

However, the little stone monkey was unhappy and started chirping and protesting madly.

—Hey, that's rude! You're the pet!

Clearly, the little stone monkey was very unhappy about being called a pet.

What is it calling?

Bai Yuekui couldn't understand the little stone monkey's language, so he had to ask Ye Li.

"It's not a pet!"

Ye Li explained.

"Oh, I misspoke."

Bai Yuekui said apologetically.

"Chirp chirp!"

—This monkey forgives you!

The little stone monkey waved its hand dismissively.

Finally, he leaned back in his seat, his belly exposed, and comfortably closed his eyes to rest.

"However, although I cannot enhance your genes, I can teach you to enter the Return to Origin state."

Bai Yuekui withdrew his gaze and looked at Ye Li again.

"That sounds pretty impressive. What is the state of returning to the origin?"

Ye Li asked in confusion.

"In the state of returning to the origin, the consumption of various energies in your body is balanced. Once this state is lifted, you can unleash at least twice the power you currently possess..."

Bai Yuekui explained.

"So powerful? Does he cultivate immortality?"

Ye Li asked.

"Not quite, it's more like cultivation, similar to... Qigong or some other ancient martial arts!"

Bai Yuekui thought for a moment and gave Ye Li a relatively simple and easy-to-understand explanation.

"Understood!"

Ye Li suddenly realized.

I've seen it on some short video platforms before, back when I was on Earth.

For example, breaking steel bars with bare hands.

Devil Muscle Man.

However, he had always thought those were just special effects and props.

"Not only that, in the Return to Origin state, all your emotions can become infinitely stable, so that you will not be detected by those Soul-Devouring Beasts."

Bai Yuekui continued.
