Chapter 1573 In Danger


    "Okay," Maxwell responded.


    His voice had barely faded away when he suddenly screamed and all of his muscles started twitching.


    "Is your body rejecting the gene?" Rocky asked, mostly to himself. That was the first time that he had


    done gic experiments on a human being. Although the new genes he had developed wouldn''t have


    much impact on the main gic sequences of a human and normally wouldn''t endanger their lives, he


    was still worried that something else could go wrong.


    Therefore, in order to stabilize the rejection that Maxwell''s body was currently going through, Rocky


    touched him and transferred some of his spiritual power over.


    Momentster, he realized that the spiritual power that he had poured into Maxwell''s body was being


    absorbed too quickly.


    Rocky bent over and looked closely at Maxwell''s body. He discovered lots of big changes, especially in


    his meridians. He knew that an ordinary person''s meridians were different from that of a spirit warrior. A


    spirit warrior''s meridians were much wider and thicker and they connected with each other in a


    harmonious way.


    Meanwhile, it looked like Maxwell''s meridians were also widening. Before long, they were wider than a


    spirit warrior''s!


    "Is his body experiencing extreme mutation because of the new genes?" If that were the case, Rocky


    wasn''t sure whether it was a good thing or a bad thing.


    For the sake of safety, Rocky had to withdraw his spiritual power. Secondster, it appeared that


    Maxwell''s condition had slightly improved, but his body was still undergoing changes.


    He had also fallen into aa.


    It took more than twenty hours for his physical changes to cease. Rocky stood guard beside him the


    whole time and checked his body, and the results he saw were even more surprising.


    Rocky gasped. Judging from the width of Maxwell''s meridians, he had reached at least the primary


    stage of the Spiritual Infant.


    In other words, Maxwell hadn''t needed to cultivate for a long time to broaden his meridians and hold


    more spiritual power. He would only need to adapt to his new body and strengthen his physical


    cultivation. There was a chance that in a few months, he could move straight to the primary stage of


    the Spiritual Infant.


    "This is a blessing in disguise," Rocky murmured to himself. He had expected his gic experiments


    to be sessful, but he had no idea that they could reach such limits.


    Not long after, Maxwell woke up.


    "How long... have I slept?" he mumbled, thinking he had been asleep the entire time.


    "It''s been half a day. Are you feeling ufortable?" Rocky asked, stepping closer to him.


    "No, I''m fine. In fact, my body feels super light..." As Maxwell spoke, he propped himself up with one


    hand, nearly causing his head to hit the ceiling.


    His eyes were wide as he looked down at Rocky. Afternding back on the ground, he looked at his


    hands and feet in a panic.


    "The experimental gic modification performed on your body was sessful. Now, you have directly


    acquired the physique of a spirit warrior. That means you won''t have to build a foundation like an


    ordinary spirit warrior in order to break through to the Spirit Realm. Your physique is already on par with


    a Spiritual Infant at the primary stage," Rocky exined.


    "A Spiritual Infant at the primary stage? Really?" Maxwell knew plenty about the levels of the spirit


    warrior, so he was aware that the primary stage of a Spiritual Infant was a point in which no ordinary


    spirit warrior could get past.


    "Why would I lie to you? Besides, this doesn''t mean that you can just rest easy. You still have to


    cultivate hard. After all, you don''t have a solid foundation yet. And you have a lot of things to do to


    reach the next level. But don''t fret. I will give you some guidance," Rocky said with a smile.


    "Thank you, Rocky." Maxwell smiled back.


    After that, Rocky taught Maxwell the most basic cultivation method of the spirit warrior, and also gave


    him some pills to replenish the spiritual power in his body.


    The meridians and spiritual power at the primary stage of the Spiritual Infant could not bepletely


    replenished overnight. Since Maxwell was a beginner, he had to gather them slowly using his


    cultivation. None of it was intended to be a race.


    After that was settled, Rocky sent Maxwell out of the Magic Spiritual Space and left him on his own.


    Then he made his way back to the camp. As soon as he entered it, Kye approached him and said,


    "You''re here at the right time. Commander Wang just sent word that there is a mission and he''s asked


    us toe to his camp..."


    "Okay." Rocky nodded and walked with Kye to Tucker''s camp.


    As they walked through the curtain of the camp, Rocky saw Tucker and a man who wore simr


    clothes and had the same aura as Tucker. Apparently, he was also amander.


    "This is Commander Ling. He is stationed at the front line," Tucker said, pointing at Commander Ling.


    "Commander Ling." Rocky and Kye cupped their hands and bowed.


    "There is no need to be so courteous," Commander Ling said, waving his hand.


    "Commander Ling and I are friends and he came here to ask for our help," Tucker told them, cutting


    right to the chase.


    "He needs our help?" The second they heard that, Rocky and Kye knew that a hard task was ahead of


    them.


    "Recently, the defense line of the western region that is stationed by Commander Ling has been

    attacked by some spiritual beasts. Now the front line is in danger. These spiritual beasts have united


    and don''t intend on backing down. We think that they have been manipted by the spiritual race.


    Commander Ling''s soldiers have tried relentlessly to solve this problem, but to no avail. So they came


    to the Tiger Whisker Pass to discuss it with me. Basil, you seem to have lots of experience in fighting


    spiritual beasts. Maybe you can help Commander Ling," Tucker exined, turning to face Rocky.


    Suddenly, all their eyes were on him.


    "Okay. I will try my best to help you!" he responded.


    "Thank you, Basil. Could you pleasee with me? We happened to catch one of the spiritual beasts


    two days ago. Maybe you can find some clues from it and figure out a solution for us," Commander


    Ling said, cupping his hands.


    "Sure," Rocky replied, nodding.


    "But wait. Who will lead the team if Basil leaves?" Kye asked.


    "You will. You are the acting captain in my absence," Rocky answered, looking back at him.


    "Well..." Kye felt a little embarrassed even though he was supposed to be the team leader.


    "Perfect. Kye, you will temporarily act as captain while Basil is gone," Tucker ordered at once.


    "Yes, sir." Kye took the order.


    After that, Rocky and Commander Ling climbed onto a flying beast and flew to the front line of the


    western region.


    The region was an important military base for the human army in the border war. If the front line were


    lost, it would directly threaten the safety of the Tiger Whisker Pass and other passes. Now Rocky


    understood why Tucker had been so willing to send him there to help.
