Chapter 896: Spirit Gene
Translator: Nyoi-Bo Studio Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio
Han Sen did not move . He cast the Dongxuan Sutra, which had his fingers generate a coin, and fired it at the approaching monkey .
Pat!
The coin stuck to the monkey's head . Almost immediately, its head swiveled down and the body followed, collapsing to the ground . Writhe as it might, it could not get back up .
The red-haired monkey tried to scream, but when it opened its mouth, Han Sen fired another coin . It landed directly on its lips, shutting them completely . The added weight propped the monkey into a position not unlike it was bowing to Han Sen .
Han Sen looked at the monkey once more, turned, and left .
Han Sen had managed to simulate the power of the Coin Toad that he had observed during his battle with it . He had only unlocked his first gene lock, so he couldn't simulate it perfectly . Its effectiveness was not half of what it could be, once Han Sen had his next few gene locks open . Still, it was enough to suppress the advance of the monkey, and it did more than his Sonic-Thunder Punch could ever hope to do .
After dealing with his simian aggressor, he went to the other side of the market to see if there was anything useful for sale .
After a short while browsing the wares, a spirit cut in front of Han Sen and blocked his advance .
"Has the monkey's master come looking for me?" Han Sen frowned, and put himself into a state of silent alert .
The spirit looked like a man . Its ears were like the fins of a fish, and it only possessed one red eye .
"How might I address you?" Surprisingly, the spirit bowed before Han Sen .
"My name is San Mu . What's up?" Han Sen asked .
"I saw you teach that monkey a lesson . The power you have seems efficient in restricting the movements of your opponents . With that power you possess, I am hoping you will be able to help me out on a certain matter . I can pay you spirit genes, in return for your compliance and aid," the spirit politely requested .
Han Sen initially believed the spirit had approached him in a hunt for trouble; he never expected it to come looking for his help .
"How can I help?" Han Sen asked .
"I want to tame a wind beast . Unfortunately for me, its power is grand, and the likelihood of it submitting itself to serving and obeying me seems low . It is my desire that you suppress it, buying me the appropriate time to do what I must to tame it," the spirit explained .
"What is your level? And how many spirit genes are you willing to pay?" Han Sen was interested in the proposition .
"My name is Yu Yan, and I am a Knight . I can pay you with ten fire-element spirit genes," the spirit said .
"Okay . But if you are unable to tame it yourself after I do my part, you must still pay me," Han Sen responded .
"Of course; in fact, how about I pay you in advance?" Yu Yan reached his hand out . A fire was birthed in the palm of his hand, and it then drifted through the air towards Han Sen .
Han Sen caught the drifting fire, and the golden flames melted into the skin of his own hands .
"Knight-class Fire Gene +1 . "
Yu Yan gave him nine more of such flames, and Han Sen accepted each one .
The Fire Gene wouldn't make Han Sen physically stronger, but it would serve well whenever he wished to deal fire damage . His fire attacks and fire resistances would both be increased .
If he did not practice the works and arts of fire, it would have been a waste . But Han Sen could practice every element, fortunately .
After receiving the Spirit Genes, Yu Yan and Han Sen left the market . They went to a serene park that was situated elsewhere in the shelter . There were many ordinary creatures around, and it was quickly and clearly estalished that Yu Yan was a high-level spirit in the vicinity .
In a cage, Han Sen saw the wind beast already trapped . It was a lime-green giant wolf that kept casting blades of winds at the bars of its suppression, growling and howling ferociously .
Han Sen fired a coin at the wind beast . There was no fear of missing, due to it being trapped in the cage; therefore, the coin landed where he wanted it to . The wolf looked slightly heavier and more bedraggled, but it didn't collapse to the ground just yet . Knowing what was happening, however, the wolf did its best to attack Han Sen .
He fired another seven coins at the wolf, and after that, the wolf no longer looked as angry . It was heavy and of a glum, hopeless mood .
"The first-tier of the Dongxuan Sutra really is much weaker . If I was like the toad, creatures such as this would only have to suffer two of these coins . I really need to get to work on opening my gene locks," Han Sen thought to himself .
Yu Yan was happy with the results, though . After the wolf's desire for violence came to an end, he opened the cage without delay . Then, he leaned forward to leave his mark on the beast's forehead .
But the wolf, despite hardly being able to move, was not willing to accept the stamp .
Yu Yan drew a whip, and with a lash, flames enwreathed its leathery length . He whipped the wind beast's body, inflicting a nasty burn mark across it .
After a few more lashes, the wolf's fur had been mostly seared off . It was a wretched sight, the proud animal's thick, full mane of fur having been reduced to dark, smoldering skin .
But the wind beast still wasn't willing to submit . It growled repeatedly at Yu Yan and Han Sen, and it didn't look likely to submit anytime soon .
Yu Yan did not stop whipping, though . And before long, the wolf could no longer move . Its body was pitch-black with its charring, and it could no longer stand . It collapsed and continued to whimper down on the ground, as if it was going to die .
Yu Yan got tired hitting the beast, and with much disappointment, regretfully said, "This beast is too far gone . With how wild it is, I fear I'll never be able to tame it . Perhaps it shouldn't come as a surprise; it is a creature that hails from the Thorn Forest, after all . "
"It comes from the Thorn Forest?" Han Sen looked at the wind beast in shock .
"Yes, I found it during my venture there . Four of its gene locks have been opened, and it took the sacrifice of a dozen ordinary creatures to capture it . Yet despite all that, I cannot tame it . Killing it solely for its meat would be a grand waste," Yu Yan mournfully explained, as he watched the dying beast .
Han Sen's heart jumped . He looked at the beast and said, "Would you be willing to sell it?"
"If I can't tame it, of course I will . How much are you willing to pay?" Yu Yan smiled .
"Well, how about this?" Han Sen pulled out a coin; a copper-fruit .
