Chapter 269: Chapter 201 You Are Different from Others_1

Many changes are not visible on the surface; they require the use of instruments.

Wu had been waiting in the medical laboratory. If it weren’t for Feng Yi’s birthday, he would have immediately called Feng Yi to the basement after Feng Yi shed his skin.

Wu regretted not being able to closely observe Feng Yi shedding his skin; there were reasons due to inadequate preparation, and also some factors he had not yet understood, which were beyond his knowledge.

However, Feng Yi was quite active in the "I study myself" area, which pleased Wu, as he could also learn more knowledge beyond common sense.

The equipment in the underground laboratory was not yet complete, but it was sufficient for some basic examinations and analysis.

Both Feng Yi’s mimetic and original forms were examined.

Wu, struggling under the weight of the tail’s tip, said to Feng Yi, "As I suspected, the traces left by the parasites are gone."

When Feng Yi returned from Florida, Wu found some marks left by parasites on his tail during the examination. They did not harm the body, but Feng Yi was still concerned about them.

It wasn’t about the scars; whether there were scars or not, it didn’t matter to him. What he cared about were the parasites; those marks always reminded him that he was almost parasitized. Just thinking about the parasites he had seen while researching made Feng Yi’s skin crawl.

Now everything was better; after shedding his skin, the traces of the parasites’ existence had also disappeared. Out of sight, out of mind, he no longer had to constantly recall those disturbing images of parasitism.

Feng Yi was very satisfied.

Even his scales had more luster.

Feng Yi could not understand all the data displayed on the medical instruments. He could guess a bit with some visual aids but couldn’t guess what the data-only parts meant.

Fortunately, Wu would explain each item to Feng Yi during the examination.

"There has been a change in the muscles," Wu said.

Even when Feng Yi was in his original form, even though the upper half of his body seemed normal to the human eye, the instruments revealed something different.

Take the muscles, for example; whether in terms of quantity or their very essence, they were different from ordinary humans!

"Compared to before molting, the muscles have developed further, and in your original form, they are also more robust."

This "muscle development" does not refer to an exaggerated outward appearance but rather the powerful energy they contain. When tensed, they are as hard as steel, and cleverly interconnected, they become more flexible, resilient, and able to endure tremendous force, supporting the body in actions that would be considered "extreme" or "beyond the limit" for an ordinary person.

For example, high-speed movement.

Upon hearing this, Feng Yi agreed, "After molting, I indeed felt that my power had grown stronger, I just didn’t know how to describe it."

"Well, let me put it this way," Wu looked at the data and chose terminology that Feng Yi could understand better, "Previously, when you were fast with your hands, catching snakes, or other animals like crocodiles, the animals might have known you were about to catch them, but you moved too quickly for them to avoid you even if they sensed it.

"Now, if you were to catch them, they might not even realize they’ve been caught by the time it happens. That’s the difference."

Feng Yi understood upon this explanation.

Wu: "To clearly see your movements, I have to use a high-speed camera. Moreover, it’s not just your hands—your whole body can withstand the high-speed movement with greater acceleration. Ordinary people’s eyes can’t keep up, giving them the impression that you ’teleport’."

Wu brought up some of the data and visuals obtained from the equipment and simplified it for Feng Yi.

A muscle upgrade requires the skeleton and other organs and tissues of the body to keep up; it’s an overall enhancement.

Wu: "As for the skeleton, setting aside composition, just focusing on structure. When you’re in your mimetic form, the structure is similar to that of normal humans, but when in your original form, even if the upper body resembles a human, the number and structure of the bones are different."

Wu pulled up another set of data tables, "Considering all factors as a whole... for example, in terms of gravity resistance, the force of gravity due to Earth’s attraction is represented by G. Riding a roller coaster subjects you to about two G’s, which you can think of as twice your body weight. The average person can withstand around 2 to 4 G’s; those with weaker bodies may experience severe dizziness even at 2 G’s, and some people feel uncomfortable simply from the sensation of extra weight or weightlessness when riding elevators.

"On the robust side—those who have undergone professional training, like pilots or astronauts—astronauts generally sustain less than 4 G’s when the spacecraft takes them into space. During certain flight phases, they might experience overloads of more than 5 G’s, and in emergencies, it could reach 8 G’s or higher, which ordinary people cannot tolerate. Imagine your body feeling eight times heavier; even breathing would be difficult.

"But you’re not the same; even at 30 G’s, you can not only withstand it but do so with ease.

"Facing the same load and the same pressure, you might only feel as if a kitten’s paw pad is tapping softly, but for others, it might be as if a powerful Siberian tiger is hitting their chest with its fist."

Feng Yi listened intently, thoughtful.

After a pause, Wu provided more familiar examples from daily life, "For instance, when the bus starts and stops abruptly, many people can manage to sit still but still feel discomfort and dizziness.

"Your anti-dizziness capabilities are strong. You yourself can accelerate from a standstill to top speed and then from top speed to a complete stop in an extremely short time without feeling any discomfort. Others wouldn’t be able to handle that. Feeling dizzy or even fainting would be mild reactions. If such a sudden change were more severe, one might suffer from fractures, organ damage, or even more serious consequences."
