Multi-Gene

Chapter 148 - Rush Hour

Jumping down from the building, David slid down the walls like a monkey and in a few seconds, he had touched the ground with a loud thud.

Dusting his body and adjusting himself to the best of his ability, to make himself look presentable.

But it all that was for naught as he was just as dirty and stinky as he was before. The dust in his face and hair, the slimy substance that had hardened on his skin with the mixture of the dust in the surrounding area.

He looked like a mad man instead. He would be unable to change anything anyways without a proper bath.

But David didn't know that. Bringing out the compass, David activated the last use. An holographic image of an arrow popped up, it spy for a few seconds before landing on a direction.

Without hesitation, David moved. He didn't revolve his blood through his body like one might have expected he planned on using his physical strength to run and he moved with astonishing speed without the use of any technique.

Fleeting through the trees, his body was weightless, as though he was made of cotton instead of organs. He was like the breeze as he dodged through the dense trees and passed through the dense forest.

He felt more free and he felt as though a chain holding him down had been broken. It seems the phenomenon he had encountered didn't just stop at increasing his strength, it also made reduced his body weight.

He felt his speed was even more astonishing than when he revolved his blood. It was as though his physical ability has enhanced his internal ability.

Hence, he came to a conclusion. Internal ability was a bit safe, slow but rewarding while the enhancement from his external strength was quick but equally dangerous as there were more than a 90% chance of dying.

After almost half an hour of running, David finally felt a little out of breath. Circulating his blood, his stamina that was almost half used up was restored to the maximum, and he continued his run without any obstructions.

David slowed down a little when he saw he was about to reach his destination, and ahead of him, he could hear several people fighting at a distance.

This made David frown slightly, although he had been expecting to meet other students, he hadn't though he would meet them this early and even at the supply box location.

Pursing his lips in thought, David shrugged. He would just act according to the situation.

This time, David revolved his blood as he couldn't yet expose his physical ability to the public.

Revolving his blood to about 50% of his maximum capacity, David jumped out of the dense yellow forest and jumped into the large open area that was caused by either fighting or had been naturally there.

Jumping onto a tree, he saw five students standing a few meters apart in some sort of an pentagonal formation, attacking and defending against a high level dark haze beast, the Stone Fist monkey.

Even though they didn't have the strength to fight off the beast, they truly were doing great jobs at repelling the beast.

At the back of the students was a supply box. David's eyes instantly lit up as he saw it wasn't an ordinary supply box as it was golden in colour.

It was a mid grade supply box. He grinned softly. This was his first high grade supply box.

He could just swoop in and take the stuffs within the box if he used his full ability but it was unknown how much time the Golden box would require to unlock and it was unknown if the five students would give him the opportunity to guy open the box.

Or he could just kill the beast while they had its attention and maybe silence the students while taking the box for himself. It was as simple as that, there was barely anything wrong with the plan and the probability of things going haywire was low.

The people consist of four males and a female student.

Two guys that were pretty good at taking the stone fist monkey's punch were stationed at the forefront while at the forefront, in their midst was the lady who attacked when there was a chance and retreated immediately under the cover of the two guys by her side.

While the other two students at the back used the opportunity to attack when the aggro of the beast had been shifted to the girl.

And the last person at the back was free to do as he pleases, to attack it to defend.

They had a pretty great teamwork and it seems as though they trust each other with their lives.

David frowned at that thought, it was a bit foreign to him since he came here. "Trusting someone else with your life?" David mocked openly.

But it appeared that he had spoken to loudly.

As the male student that was at the back, the back end of the pentagon formation glanced straight at him as though he knew he had been there.

David blinked as he stared expressionlessly at the guy. After a few seconds of a stare down, the guy suddenly shouted.

"What are you still doing up there, hurry and open the box and let's get the hell out of here." He yelled while retreating as he had just repelled one massive fist of the two meters tall monkey.

David was stunned, as well as the other four student, but they were quick to recover and the stone monkey was unable to use its chance to surprise them.

David was still surprised. But was instantly jolted awake as the guy spoke out once more "We don't have all day."

Squinting his eyes, David gaze penetrated the boy who was still focused on the stone fist monkey and he smirked lightly.

"Let's see what you are up to." David mumbled to himself. In the face of true power, all tricks are useless. David grinned.

In the face of true strength, all tricks are useless. With such thought in mind, David revolved his blood and like a turbine engine, his heartbeat punched through his chest repeatedly.

He moved like a phantom and in the next few seconds, he was before the box.

At the sound of another enticing heartbeat, the stone fist monkey instantly looked at the distance in front of it and behind the five students and was instantly enraged by what it he saw.

The box it had spent most of its life protecting like it was its child especially the enticing gold colour it shone, giving it comfort was about to be sullied by his preys, it couldn't and would take this laying down.

Roar!

It flew in a rage as it stomped its feet to the ground like a bull, while at the same time, repeatedly beating at the ground beneath its feet as though in madness.

Black veins the size of two finger popped up in its arms as it gathered together like a glove armour on its fist, instantly coating them black.

While it beat at the ground rhythmically, the rocks in the ground seem to be attracted to its fist as they gathered tto them, attracted by the weird vibration coming from its fist to form another sort of armour on its fist.

In the next second, it was as though it had truly worn a stone glove. It was the stone fist ability.

"Watch out! It is activating its genetic ability!" the female student yelled.

The gazes of the other students changed slightly as they responded with a grunt and almost as thought they had rehearsed it, they all dove to the sides like a bird.

Boom!

And in just a split seconds after that, the stone monkey had punched that exact location, instantly creating a few inches hole to the ground, bringing up dust in the surroundings.

It seems they didn't call it the stone fist monkey for nothing.

Hurriedly standing back up, they were quick on their feet as they stood in the exact same formation as before, and as the beast was about to use the opportunity it had created to launch an attack on David, the team occupied its attention again by attacking it more fiercely than before.

The ability dispersed as the veins and trapped stone on its fist receded The beast didn't activate the ability in that moment as It seems it had to rest a bit before executing it's genetic ability.

One of the male students in the team, that was busy defending against the stone fist attacks, suddenly yelled, asking "How much time left!?"

There was a sudden silence and it took David about a second and a half to realise that the guy was talking to him. Upon realising that, he instantly responded back hurriedly.

"Hold on for a bit, only about Five seconds left!" David yelled back and he watch as the progress bar continued to increase.
