Chapter 940
Future sat on the sofa and told them everything about Henry''s first research with the Spiritual Stone
on the ind, up until the time when he absorbed the energy of Fire Crystal on his own.
"Are you saying that there is a cyclone of energy in Boss'' body? And it is divided into two colours?"
After listening to Future''s story, Wade felt that it sounded quite incredible.
Future nodded her head.
Regarding the cyclone of energy that resided in Henry''s abdomen, the fact of it had always been
buried at the very bottom of Future''s heart and had never been told to anyone about it, not even
Henry knew about it.
Future smiled self- deprecatingly and said, "How ironic. I''ve mastered technology that has received
the recognition of surpassing the technology of the present by 50 years. However, regarding the
changes within Boss'' body, I can only regard it as some sort of inner force, just exactly as written in
those martial arts novels, including the Qi we have mastered, may just be one form of inner force."
"What do you mean?" A confused Wade asked. He knew that Future was a very careful person, she
would never have given such a groundless guess if she did not have a certain extent of certainty.
Future pulled out her mobile phone and tapped on the screen a few times. A beam of light shot out
from the camera on the back of her mobile phone, creating a projection on the wall, on it were
numerous data analysis diagrams.
She pointed at the projection on the wall and said, "I have recently conducted aprehensive
analysis of the energy system that lies within the Spiritual Stone and the Fire Crystal. I have also
extracted more than a hundred types of DNA, and ordered for samples from ancient civilisation
locations to be sent to me. ording to theparisons in data, the DNA of most creatures are
compatible with the energy within the Spiritual Stone. In other words, these creatures originally
possess some Qi. Among these are DNA from creatures like cheetahs, elephants, rhinoceros, ants
and so on, which possess much more primitive strength than humans. The DNA of humans today
lacks the simr sort of energy."
After saying that, Future swiped the screen of her mobile phone, and the projection on the wall
changed.
She continued, "These samples were collected from the ancient site where human beings lived.
From them, some DNA of ancient humans could be found. After some observation, I found that
there was a simr energy pattern to the Spiritual Stone in the DNA of ancient humans. My
calctions showed this kind of energy pattern still existed in the DNA of human beings at the
beginning of the 18th century, but at the end of the 18th century, these energy patterns disappeared
from their DNA."
"Do you mean to say that we are degenerating?" Wade frowned.
"Looking at DNA alone, it does seem like it." Future nodded, then shook her head. "Of course, we
can''t generalise that, so in my opinion, this so-called Qi is actually a kind of inner force written in
martial arts novels. A long time ago, it was basically a human''s ability, just like how we can see with
our eyes, but bats cannot. It''s just that these abilities gradually degenerate, but there are still some
who retained them. This group of people exist in the ns and the blood of the n members runs
the same. As long as their bloodline is maintained as pure as possible, this DNA can continue to
exist. What Boss is faced with now, I suspect that it was the work
of Qi."

Wade opened his mouth to say something, but was interrupted by Future''s outstretched hand.
"I know just what you''re about to ask. You want to know why Boss had practiced Qi, as we all have,
so why is it that we are all alright?"
Wade nodded.
"The methods of practicing Qi between Boss and ours are not the same." Future shook her head.
"We practice through slowly sensing the existence of Qi and then absorb the energy residing in the
Spiritual Stone. This process is simr to training our muscles. What we do is train bit by bit and
slowly transform our flesh into muscles. The muscles are originally a part of ourselves, what we go
through is a process of which our muscles gradually increase with the decrease of excess b, just
as I have said before, we once possessed DNA that waspatible with the energy within the
Spiritual Stone, it''s just that that part of our DNA had been hidden from us, all we had to do was dig
it up. As for Boss, it''s not the same as us."
As she spoke of it, Future took a deep breath and took a nce at Henry, sympathy and pain
shing in her eyes.
"Boss was the first among us toe into contact with Qi. Unlike us, who had people to lead us
along the way, he relied solely on himself to explore Qi. If we use the same metaphor to say that we
practiced Qi the same way as training our muscles bit by bit, then Boss'' way of practice would be
the same as beating the flesh on his body into muscles with iron. Perhaps this metaphor isn''t the
most fitting, but that is the idea of it. We use Qi to guide and exploit our potential to its fullest, but
Boss on the other hand, forcibly absorbed all that Qi into his body for his own use, and the energy
of that Qi isn''t pure, especially Qi from the Fire Crystal!"
After pausing for a moment, she continued, "The energy in the Fire Crystal is more violent and
aggressive than that within the Spiritual Stone. It''s like an infectious poison. Once it enters Boss''
body, it will spread rapidly, but this spreading would not affect Boss'' bodily functions, it would only
dominate the energy from the Spiritual Stone. This energy acts like a virus andpletely takes
over the energy from the Spiritual Stone within Boss'' body, when this happens, Boss will begin to
get agitated uncontrobly. In this state of agitation and violence, one would lose the ability to
reason. For example, when a person fights for the first time, he would not be able to remember
when he threw a punch or swung a kick, his mind would bepletely nk, and that is the same
for Boss. In other words, this is a very abnormal state of dreamwalking. Under these circumstances,
Boss'' consciousness will enter a sleeping state, and all his movements would led by his
subconscious."
"So, do you mean that Boss has gone mad while practicing martial arts?" Alex asked with a strange
look on his face. He liked the culture of Yan Xia and had gone through many TV series and novels
about Yan Xia martial arts. He often saw people go mad while practicing martial arts to the point that
they were unable to recognise their loved ones, but those were just TV series.
"You can put it that way." Future nodded. "Some time ago, Wade also entered this kind of state. It''s
just that it wasn''t as serious as Boss''. I believe that the reason behind all this was the immense
mental pressure he had to bear, indirectly causing a total breakdown. Bannock had also said earlier
that Bosspletely broke down when he mentioned the word "n". It is apparent that Boss has
never let go of this. His life now appears to be calm, but in fact, he has to bear an even greater
pressure than before. After all, we knew our enemies very well back then, but now the n is still a
mystery to us. We fear the things we don''t understand most."
After hearing this, Wade was slightly stunned, shortly after he let out a sigh.
The others also showed remorse on their faces. Henry was suffering so much pressure, but as the
elites of Radiant Ind, they were unable to help him at all, which made them feel very helpless.
