This is really not mechanical ascension

Chapter 124: Chapter 90: I was ambushed!

Ding Hui took a deep breath. In fact, seeing Li Ming refining the magnetic core barehanded, he had already been certain that this young man’s level was no less than his own, and perhaps even better.

"Show it." he said.

"Okay." Li Ming picked up the gloves and put them on—

[Electromagnetic Explosion Gloves—Grade E: Manufactured by the Mechanical Engineer Li Ming, but due to the limitations of the material, it is somewhat unstable internally.

Control Conditions: 400 points of metal energy

Control Effect: Thunder Element Control—40%

Control Ability—Electromagnetic Explosion: Charge for three seconds, enhance the lethality of the Thunder Element by 100%]

It’s nothing special, quite ordinary.

Pi li pa la—

Electric arcs burst forth, jumping back and forth between the two gloves, accompanied by a buzzing sound.

The crowd was amazed, seeing these bursting electric arcs, they couldn’t help but retreat.

Such elemental-level power is not just dangerous for ordinary life forms, even for F-level life forms, it possesses a certain lethality.

This level of technology was on a completely different level from theirs.

"If one is a Thunder Element Controller, one can directly attack using the gloves," Li Ming raised his hand, a current surged out, landing not far away, with a snap, it blasted out scorch marks.

"Even if not, you can first charge it with external electricity," as he spoke, the black crystal at the center of the gloves gradually turned azure.

"Then, concentrate and explode!" Li Ming clapped his hands together, and the moment the gloves collided, a very thick electric arc shot out, landing not far away, producing a loud bang, echoing throughout the room.

The faces of the onlookers paled; had that hit them, they would have likely been charred directly.

"Um..." Li Ming was about to continue speaking when suddenly, the black crystal in the center of the gloves began to flicker.

Ding Hui’s expression changed slightly, and he shouted, "Throw it away!"

But it was already too late. Massive amounts of electric arcs burst between the gloves, the electrical fire surged, and with a loud explosion, the gloves shattered.

The crowd was startled and hurriedly retreated, but they found that the bursting electric arcs did not spread.

Instead, they were restrained by a powerful force, gradually converging, and finally shrinking into a ball of electric energy in Li Ming’s palm.

The elemental control enhance by the [Thunderclap Orbs] was not just for show.

Casually throwing it towards an empty space, this time the sound was even more violent. Li Ming sighed, "Sorry, teacher, the quality control wasn’t good."

"Enough, it’s enough," Ding Hui’s throat moved, "It’s not your fault; these materials are flawed and unstable."

"So, did I complete it?" he asked.

"You did, you did, you don’t have to come to class anymore..." Ding Hui was saying when he suddenly paused, glanced at the others, then pulled Li Ming aside, somewhat excitedly, "You’re a genius."

"I know," Li Ming responded indifferently.

Ding Hui was taken aback, then continued, "Your talent in mechanical manufacturing is incredible, very high-level. My professor is Professor Xia, are you interested in..."

"Teacher, I am Professor Wu’s person," Li Ming politely shook his head.

"Right, right, you’re Professor Wu’s person," Ding Hui’s expression changed, then unwillingly said, "Whatever Professor Wu can give you, Professor Xia can too, and your talent far exceeds your developmental potential."

"Teacher, if these words got out, it wouldn’t be too good, I’ll pretend I didn’t hear them." joked Li Ming; clearly Old Wu had big secrets.

Seeing that Li Ming’s mind was made up, Ding Hui sighed, his enthusiasm waning, "Okay, my teacher will surely be extremely frustrated."

Ding Hui brought Li Ming back, announcing on the spot that he passed the test and didn’t need to attend classes for the next year.

The other students naturally had no objections, and those who had also taken the challenge didn’t speak up, even too embarrassed to present their own creations.

Li Ming expressed his gratitude, glanced at the time, it was nearly two in the afternoon, and he frowned.

The afternoon class seemed a bit late.

...

"...Grade C, is a watershed, not only an ascent in the tier of life but also able to..." Professor Bai was speaking, behind him, many spiraling gene chains and various pictorial data appeared on the holographic screen.

Just then, the door suddenly opened, and a figure walked in. Professor Bai frowned slightly and said lightly, "You are late."

The rest turned their heads; the newcomer was Li Ming.

"Professor, I’m sorry." Li Ming did not offer an explanation but apologized.

Professor Bai glanced at him, "You are much more polite than your teacher, stand and listen."

This hardly counted as a punishment.

Professor Bai drank some water and continued, "At Grade C, one awakens a very important ability."

"Genetic Release!" Qi Xing pronounced loudly, Li Ming frowned slightly, not quite understanding.

Professor Bai gave him a sharp look, "Yes, exactly, Genetic Release."

"Through Genetic Release, you can transform your own limbs into the native life form of the gene seed you have fused with to gain greater strength."

"At the same time, Genetic Release is also an important part of the gene sequence."

Transform into the native life form of a gene seed? Isn’t that Genetic Mutation?

Li Ming, puzzled, simply decided to ask directly, "Professor, may I ask, what’s the difference between Genetic Mutation and Genetic Release?"

A few eyes glanced over; Nanhua Xing seemed to smile.

After a moment of thought, Professor Bai said, "Essentially, there is no difference, one is controllable, and one is not."

"The boundary between the two is extremely blurred. At the level of C-grade life forms, the most important thing is to balance Genetic Release with Genetic Mutation."

Li Ming nodded thoughtfully.

"Many powerful gene sequences are essentially composed of various forms of Genetic Release, complementing each other."
