Chapter 478: Chapter 412: Iron Fist

There are twenty-four days left until the gamma-ray burst arrives.

At exactly five o’clock in the morning, Lu Li awoke from deep sleep on time.

As usual, he checked his body to see the extent of his enhancement.

To his surprise, the extent of his enhancement was almost identical to that of the previous day.

Lu Li was taken aback, “Enhanced by fifty percent in two days?”

This was unbelievable to him.

Yesterday, the enhancement was twenty-five percent because the day before, he extracted plenty of emotional value from the bigwigs of various countries.

This allowed the ’True Self’ to release enough ’divine’ genes to fuse with the hormones, accelerating the speed of evolution.

Emotions are something that can’t be maintained constantly.

Yesterday, he didn’t extract anyone’s emotional value, so how could it be…

Wait a minute!

Lu Li recalled something, “Last night, I saw someone cyberbullying me online, and at that time, I was very irritable, not at all paying attention to the secretion of ’divine’ genes with the hormones in my body.”

He had speculated before.

It’s not just during emotional highs that more ’divine’ genes are released.

If in a state of ’irritability’, ’divine’ genes will also be released.

The difference is that during emotional highs and irritability, ’divine’ genes assist evolution through the secretion of different hormones.

Lu Li was about to check the scope of his sensory range.

Suddenly, he thought of something, “Hey, different hormones have different effects, so if ’divine’ genes mix with different hormones, will my evolution undergo different changes?”

This question had never occurred to him before.

A huge curiosity was born in him, and he wanted to find the answer.

Take the third deep evolution for example.

If he hadn’t been provoked by the Jalisco Group and remained in constant anger.

Would the fourth deep evolution still be the same as before?

Thinking of this, Lu Li began to seriously ’introspect’ his body.

He wanted to see the impact of different hormone secretions on the body.

He tried to recall the cyberbullying incident.

He put himself in a state of anger.

The next moment, Lu Li observed a large amount of adrenaline, thyroid hormone, and norepinephrine being secreted within his body.

These hormones, mixed with ’divine’ genes, integrated into his body, were driving his continuous evolution.

In ordinary people, adrenaline increases breathing rate, provides a large amount of oxygen, accelerates heart rate and blood flow, dilates pupils, and provides more energy for physical activities, making their responses quicker.

Lu Li was no longer an ordinary person.

The adrenaline secreted by his body differed from that of ordinary people.

It was certainly not to increase breathing rate or provide a large amount of oxygen.

He clearly observed that when adrenaline mixed with ’divine’ genes integrated into his body to drive evolution, the speed at which his body naturally absorbed energy increased.

Additionally, areas like the heart, liver, tendons and bones, blood vessels, skin, and mucous membranes were stimulated to evolve more robustly.

No.

Evolving more robustly is not the correct description.

It should be said that the evolution speed of the aforementioned organs was obviously faster than that of other parts.

Moreover, Lu Li could sense that when adrenaline was secreted, a single unit of energy seemed like it could be used as if it were two, almost as if he were on stimulants.

As for thyroid hormone mixed with ’divine’ genes secretion, it made the rate of energy replacement faster and energy mobilization easier.

Furthermore, it could stimulate every part of the body to evolve at a speed two to three times faster than normal.

The effect of norepinephrine on evolution was different from the previous two.

It seemed to increase the resilience of his blood vessels, strengthen the contractility of his heart, and even make energy more active, allowing the body to absorb it faster.

These discoveries were quite interesting.

Lu Li didn’t hastily draw conclusions but calmly settled his mood.

After the secretion of adrenaline, thyroid hormone, and norepinephrine significantly decreased, he observed that his energy consumption became significantly more intense at a certain stage, as if compensating for something.

“So, the secretion of different hormones mixed with ’divine’ genes does indeed affect evolution differently.”

Lu Li felt quite pleased.

He continued to observe the state of hormone release when he was in a good mood.

When people are happy, they usually secrete dopamine and endorphins.

Lu Li found that dopamine had some functions similar to adrenaline.

It could also make him feel more powerful.

Only the intensity was slightly lower.

Of course, its effects were not limited to this.

He also observed that when dopamine was massively released, his reaction speed seemed faster than usual, his body’s ability to regulate also increased by a large margin, and it made evolution faster.

Endorphins had roughly a similar situation but also had some differences.

For instance, the biggest difference is that for energy and self-regulation, it almost reached a perfect state.

Finally, Lu Li came to a conclusion, “The release of these hormones mixed with ’divine’ genes all helps to speed up evolution; so far, the fastest is when I am in an angry state, but after the anger dissipates, the energy consumption rate increases.”

He thought carefully, “If I remain in a state of anger, perhaps I could enter the sixth deep evolution faster.”

Lu Li had a sense of clarity, “Okay, now let’s test the intensity of evolution these past few days.”

The first aspect was energy storage.

He carefully checked and compared.

He could approximately sense it, comparable to 0.3 of a Sun.

Lu Li mused, “It’s close to my original target of 0.5 of a Sun.”

He continued to test his sensory range.

Lu Li unhesitatingly activated his sensory ability to the maximum extent.

To see how large a range it could cover.

The next moment, his sensory ability surged towards all directions.

Instantly enveloping a vast region, even Earth and the Moon.

In previous tests, his sensory radius was 393,216 kilometers.

Now he felt that the sensory radius had increased by a large margin, obviously a wider range than before.

Lu Li used “Total Area Awareness” to measure the radius length.

“`

The final astonishing discovery was that the perception radius reached an incredible 613,416 kilometers!

“How did it increase so much?”

He recalled carefully and understood why.

Because it had been four days since the last test.

He had enhanced by about fifty-six percent since then.

Doesn’t that correspond to the increased perception range?

He decided to test his speed.

Thinking about it, Lu Li looked up at the sky, and his body suddenly transformed into a streak of light, shooting towards the cosmic space.

He had previously tested it, with a flight speed of 21,135.36 kilometers per second.

While speeding through, Lu Li silently calculated the time in his mind.

One second.

Three seconds.

Ten seconds.

As the eleventh second passed.

He had already arrived at the Moon!

Improved by about seven seconds compared to before.

Lu Li hovered on the Moon, calculating the speed increase, “My current flight speed is about 32,971 kilometers per second.”

Exceeded 0.1 times the speed of light?

This made him very happy inside.

“By the way, let’s see how much the ultra-solidification ratio has increased.”

Lu Li checked his body again and quickly found the ratio.

The ultra-solidification ratio was previously five percent.

Now it has increased to about ten percent!

Lu Li was taken aback, “Why is the increase in the ultra-solidification ratio not consistent with the energy storage increase ratio?”

Calculated based on the fifty-six percent increase in energy storage over these few days.

The ultra-solidification ratio should have increased from five percent to 7.8 percent.

However, it has now increased directly to ten percent.

Clearly, the increase is much more.

This left him puzzled, uncertain about the situation.

Lu Li once again seriously sensed his own condition, feeling that the actual enhancement in body strength did not match the energy storage growth ratio.

Although ultra-solidification strengthens his body, it wasn’t as strong as he anticipated.

He secretly guessed, “Could it be that the more the ultra-solidification ratio, the closer I am to the sixth deep evolution? That is, the so-called qualitative change. And during the qualitative change process, the more the quantity accumulates, the weaker the enhancement seems until a true qualitative change, followed by a significant increase?”

He thought this might be the case.

Of course, it’s just a guess.

“Forget it, I won’t think about it anymore. Liu Kexin is about to wake up, I’ll join her for breakfast.”

Thinking this, Lu Li transformed into a streak of light and returned to Earth.

…

It’s a little after six in the morning.

Lu Li was having breakfast with Liu Kexin.

He was in a good mood today.

On one hand, because of his own evolutionary improvements.

On the other, since last night until now, all the comments attacking him online have disappeared.

Lu Li knew what was going on.

Last night, after talking on the phone with Gu Wei, George, and the Great Emperor, they immediately “purified” the network.

It’s not just “purifying” the network that was accomplished.

Lu Li saw more from an “all-seeing perspective.”

Just as he thought, the phone on the table rang.

Lu Li casually picked up the phone and answered, “George, good morning.”

“Mr. Lu, hello.” George cautiously said, “The promise I made to you last night has been mostly accomplished. In our domestic network, any discussions related to you have virtually disappeared. Additionally, those who slandered you have been handled legally, with about a few hundred people caught.”

Lu Li casually said, “Hmm, very good, thank you for your efforts.”

George, flattered, replied, “You’re welcome, it’s my duty.”

Lu Li said, “No worries, I’ll hang up now, I’m having breakfast.”

George quickly said, “Sure, I won’t disturb your breakfast.”

After saying this, he tactfully ended the call.

Lu Li’s lips formed a slight arc.

Liu Kexin, who was having breakfast, noticed and curiously asked, “What’s making you so happy?”

Lu Li beamed and said, “Some people got a hard hit, so I’m pleased.”

Indeed, his “all-seeing perspective” had long seen George’s decisive actions.

It’s not just George who acted.

The Great Emperor, Xiong Wen Si Lang, Lady Sanna, and leaders from over a hundred countries almost all did the same.

The contents that needed “purifying” online were entirely “purified.”

The crowd who slandered him also almost all got a hard hit.

It can be said that now, globally, everything became harmonious, and no one slandered him anymore.

Naturally, Lu Li’s mood became delightful.

It was as if the air itself conveyed a joyous atmosphere to him.

As he ate breakfast, he felt some disdain for those who had slandered him.

While others might not know his current status in the minds of leaders from various countries, how could those leaders not know?

The Earth waits for him to save it, yet they dare to play this game with him?

Lu Li thought that even if he didn’t handle this slanderous crowd, there were plenty of people willing to handle it for him.

Though the people slandering him and their content have all been deleted, Lu Li was still a bit curious if this crowd would be deterred after facing a hard hit.

To be honest, as he got closer to having the ability to solve the gamma-ray burst and with his clones helping him assemble the “savior” mecha, he had more free time. He wouldn’t mind if people kept challenging him recklessly—in that case, he’d have something to amuse himself with in his spare time!
