Chapter 270: Chapter 201: You Are Different from Others_2

Wu looked at Feng Yi with a serious expression, "So, if you encounter an emergency situation and you need to save someone, please be sure to pay attention to the problem of rapid speed changes over a short period of time. An average person can’t withstand it, so be mindful of safety protection."

"That kind of lightning-fast rescue of a person standing in one place and then stopping instantly at another place in movies is inimitable. Otherwise, the rescue could send someone directly to meet the King of Hell on the spot."

"Humans are both strong and fragile. It’s not that humans can’t create transportation or aircraft that are faster than existing ones, but that the human body can’t withstand it."

After saying this, Wu added, "Of course, if there’s some mysterious power beyond my common knowledge that can safely allow someone to withstand sudden changes in speed, then that’s a different story."

The very existence of Feng Yi’s race was beyond Wu’s common knowledge.

"If there’s such a mysterious power," Wu said, pushing up the glasses on his nose, "consider trying it out on me first!"

When it comes to chasing after fantastic species and mysterious powers, Wu was still very persistent.

Feng Yi: "...I don’t think we have that."

Wu’s eyes burned with intensity, "If one day you discover you have that ability, you must tell me!"

Feng Yi responded, and thinking of something, he asked, "So, speaking of which, could my brain also deal with more problems in a shorter amount of time?" Isn’t this equivalent to upgrading the central processor?

"Uh... in theory, yes." Wu looked away, unsure.

After all, he hadn’t researched it, so he didn’t dare to state it as an absolute fact.

Everyone knows the brain is very vulnerable and sensitive to acceleration. But different creatures have different physiological structures and tolerances, and their brains function differently too.

Take snakes as an example. A snake can attack a person four or five times in the blink of an eye, not only can it withstand the start-stop changes in speed, but it also doesn’t suffer from concussions.

If a human were to endure such speed changes and behavior patterns, they’d likely black out completely and whether they’d regain consciousness afterward is another matter.

Wu had no idea how the nervous system would operate under extreme speeds.

Not to mention a fantastic species like Feng Yi, of which there’s even less understanding. It could be said to be extremely scarce.

Therefore, when it came to matters concerning Feng Yi, Wu would never speak in absolutes.

"Bringing this up, do you have any... concerns or doubts about this?" Wu asked.

Feng Yi indeed had some.

"Before this recent molting, sometimes I felt that at certain moments, my instincts would act faster than my brain." Feng Yi said.

For instance, when he caught the Qing dragon, also known as the Yue Mountain spearhead viper.

Such a large poisonous snake was seized in a swoosh, both accurately and firmly, but the problem was that Feng Yi had absolutely no experience with catching snakes before that!

The action was too fast for his brain to fully react.

By the time he did react, he was already holding a two-meter-long poisonous snake in his hands!

The feelings at the time—were a mix of confusion and shock—

[Ahhhh I’m actually holding a poisonous snake!!]

[Such a huge triangular head!!!]

[How did it end up in my hands???]

Feng Yi still remembered those complex and bizarre feelings.

After that, he caught snakes more often and became more composed.

That instinct, even when facing the top ten deadliest snakes in the world, was as easy as eating and drinking.

But the first unconscious catch of such a large venomous snake had a profound psychological impact on him.

Now that Wu asked about it, Feng Yi simply described the situation at the time.

After listening, Wu said, "What you mean is, your instincts had your body react before your own conscious thought, and your bodily actions were faster than your awareness."

Feng Yi nodded.

Wu pondered for a moment and then said, "You really don’t need to bear a heavy psychological burden. It’s not a bad thing. In ordinary life, it is still your conscious self that takes precedence over your instincts. That kind occurs only in emergency situations. It is a form of survival memory inherited from your ancestors over generations. It could also be regarded as a type of special conditioned reflex."

The passing of memory, involving DNA methylation and many other issues, was something that even the top geneticists hadn’t fully understood, even the superficial knowledge, let alone the deeper problems.

"As you continue to strengthen yourself, your conscious self-control will also increase. According to existing data, the genetic mutations... the development at the genetic level has not completely stopped." Wu said.

"Then, considering the current stage of mutation and development, can I be considered ’adult’?" Feng Yi asked.

Wu shook his head, "I cannot decide, as there’s no reference or standard. Moreover, as far as I know, your species exhibits significant individual differences. However, based on the information and data I have, even if you’re not quite an adult, you’re close to being one. Moving forward, the direction of mutation is unlikely to change."

Every molting for Feng Yi involved changes at the genetic level, simply put, it was akin to a rebirth of the body and marrow.

Special metabolic products would peel away and disintegrate during the molting process, and the body would enhance on its existing foundation, rather than diversifying in other directions. For example, in terms of venom, there could be variations in toxicity, but the fundamental nature wouldn’t change.

Once the examination was complete, Feng Yi didn’t rush to dress, he remained in his original form, and looked carefully in the large floor mirror, then turned to observe the muscles on his back.
