Super Gene Ⅱ: Evolution

Lin Shen's practice became smoother and more adept, and the finger power he casually emitted became more concentrated, with less resistance, making the existence of the spatial finger power hardly perceptible.

The yin-yielding Thousand Men's Pointer gained the spatial ability and rigidity of the Twenty-Eight Finger Force, and when Lin Shen pointed his finger, it was as if an invisible and shadowless needle as fine as an ox hair shot out, making it nearly impossible to detect.

"Good, good, good, this finger power is just too superb. The more I condense the finger power, the smaller the ripples it creates, the less the resistance, and the faster the speed will get, but its destructive power has become even greater..." Lin Shen rejoiced in his heart. If he continued practicing in this way, it wouldn't be so easy for Ximen Swordsman to borrow his strength anymore.

The key was that such finger power was very hard to detect; Lin Shen could completely use it to silently strike acupoints from afar, catching others completely off guard.

"What should I name this finger skill? It could continue to be called Thousand Men's Pointer since it is essentially a technique of Thousand Men's Pointer, just merged with the features of Twenty-Eight Fists... However, that name sounds like it's about being pointed at the backbone, too disheartening. Let's choose something more elegant..." After pondering for a moment, Lin Shen had an idea: "As the finger power becomes more and more condensed, ultimately, it must be compressed into the smallest particles. But calling it 'particle' or 'granule' sounds rather unpleasant. Let's name it Finger Sand instead."

With the initial success of Lin Shen's Finger Sand, he excitedly practiced for a while longer but soon felt that something was amiss.

The Finger Sand, having merged with the rigidity of the Twenty-Eight Fists, made some of the previous techniques feel awkward.

Lin Shen simply discarded those awkward parts and also removed many techniques that absolutely couldn't produce Finger Sand.

This was an inevitable trade-off. To gain some things, one must give up others; you can't have your cake and eat it too.

In the world, there are many things that simply cannot coexist. Making a choice for one meant having to abandon another.

"Come on, Prince, I've made some progress with this finger skill. Try it again." Lin Shen wanted to test the power of his Finger Sand on Tian Buluo.

"Here I come." Tian Buluo stood up and approached Lin Shen, his entire being merging with the momentum of heaven and earth, each movement seamlessly aligning with the ultimate principle of the cosmos.

Tian Buluo's palm strike toward Lin Shen felt as though the entire heavens and earth were pressing down on him with that single strike.

"Tian Buluo has improved as well, growing so quickly." Without revealing any change in expression, Lin Shen concealed his fingers within the sleeve and gave a gentle flick.

Thud!n/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om

A blood hole the size of a pinhole was pierced through Tian Buluo's palm, leaving him stunned, staring blankly at the blood hole in his hand.

"How could this be... Why didn't Unity of Heaven and Man react..." Tian Buluo couldn't understand why the Heaven and Celestial Beings Skill hadn't guided his body to dodge that burst of finger power.

Lin Shen hadn't expected that Finger Sand would be so effective either; even if the ripples it caused were tiny, for it to have left the Heaven and Celestial Beings Skill unresponsive was no small feat.

Thousand Men's Pointer itself was the pinnacle of yin yielding and would have triggered the action of the Heaven and Celestial Beings Skill, yet Finger Sand managed to avoid it. What exactly went wrong, not even Lin Shen himself could figure out.

The first time he inadvertently used Finger Sand, the immature technique had caused a moment of panic in Tian Buluo. Now that Finger Sand was more refined, it unexpectedly left the Heaven and Celestial Beings Skill completely unable to react, a surprisingly strong effect.

Moreover, its destructive power seemed to be stronger than the Surfing Fist. Lin Shen had held back some strength and did not go full force, yet it pierced through Tian Buluo's palm. Clearly, the damage dealt was much greater than a single instance of Surfing Fist.

After a moment of reflection, Lin Shen understood the reason. Surfing Fist required the movement of momentum, thus the fist power itself was more dispersed.

And Finger Sand is concentrated strength, much like a bullet, possessing great destructive power at a single point.

Both have their advantages, representing different types of skills, and it cannot be said that one is stronger or weaker than the other.

"Again," Tian Buluo reacted, not alarmed but delighted, and continued to spar with Lin Shen.

Lin Shen used Finger Sand again to practice with Tian Buluo and quickly discovered that Finger Sand did not fail to trigger a response from the Heaven and Celestial Beings Skill; instead, when faced with Finger Sand, the Heaven and Celestial Beings Skill was noticeably half a beat slower.

Lin Shen did not know why there was this half-beat delay, and could only suspect that it might be due to the Earth Law's interaction causing Tian Buluo's delay.

This discovery greatly excited Tian Buluo, as his understanding of Heaven and Celestial Beings Skill had hit a bottleneck and he found it difficult to advance further.

Now, discovering that Lin Shen's finger force could cause the Heaven and Celestial Beings Skill to fail to react in time, he took this as a breakthrough point. If he could resolve this issue, perhaps he could push the Heaven and Celestial Beings Skill to an even higher realm.

Because the Heaven and Celestial Beings Skill was always half a beat slower, during combat with Lin Shen, the positions of strength and weakness were reversed, and Lin Shen could easily suppress Tian Buluo.

When Tian Buluo did not use Heaven and Celestial Beings Skill, he was fine, but as soon as he used it, he was like a fish on a cutting board, completely at Lin Shen's mercy.

Heaven and Celestial Beings Skill could still detect flaws in Lin Shen's techniques, but with its half-beat delay, any flaw became useless.

However, Lin Shen continued to refine and revise Finger Sand with the help of Heaven and Celestial Beings Skill, gradually perfecting the skill and reducing its flaws.

Of course, flaws were inevitable; no technique without flaws existed. Any skill had to be used at the right moment to unleash its true power, rather than being used randomly to become invincible.

After a series of changes, even the creator of Thousand Men's Pointer would probably not recognize it as the skill he created. He could only see some similarities, but the styles were not entirely the same.

Tian Buluo felt extremely miserable being mastered, and now he somewhat understood why Emperor Tianshu did not want him to follow this path.

When in the Celestial Unity Stage, if he encountered someone like Lin Shen, who could restrain the Unity of Heaven and Man, Heaven and Celestial Beings Skill would not only fail to aid him but would become a fatal weakness.

Unless he could reach the Ghost God Realm, Heaven and Celestial Beings Skill remained an extremely unstable and dangerous element, potentially fatal during combat with an enemy.

But achieving the Ghost God Realm was a daunting challenge; over such long ages, only the Heavenly Emperor had attained the Ghost God Realm.

"I definitely can achieve it," Tian Buluo, exhausted, sat in the pavilion, calming his mind to continue perceiving the Immortal Law's Residual Rhythm left by the Heavenly Emperor.

Lin Shen, on the other hand, continued to delve into his Finger Sound Sand, examining how the techniques of Finger Sound Sand could be coordinated with various movement techniques, all of which were intricate.

For prolonged combat, rely on Surfing Fist; for a stealthy wound, look to Finger Sand.

Lin Shen was dedicated to researching how to use Finger Sand in the most covert manner, with sleeve concealing hand being just the basics.
