The dojo master's action kept surprising David. The book in his hand was the Ultimate Gamma Radiant Physique Technique which he had heard so much about.
From the texture of the book, it appears quite cold to the touch and the few wears on the surface made looked like it had withstood the flow of time for a long while.
David took his gaze back as though unfazed by the book, he glanced at the Dojo master with his head tilting sideways, a frown on his face as he remained silent for a while before ultimately asking. "Aren't you a little too trusting to be a Dojo master?"
The dojo master relaxed back into his seat while dropping the hat of beer on the table, he looked backwards at the large picture of the lady hanging by the wall but didn't say anything.
David's heart stirred and his wrinkled brows loosened. Flipping the pages of the book, he began memorizing the content while at the same time checking for mistakes in the book.
His eyes suddenly started to widen as he finished the first page of the book. His breathing got heavier the more he read and his eyes glowed gold and crimson.
It was finally revealed why the dojo master easily handed the manual to David. It was because the radiation needed for this technique was immense more than a few ten thousand rads and if David remembered an ordinary human can only withstand up to 300 rads(1), 10,000 rads could instantly kill Metor Rank expert while Cosmic Rank expert could withstand that much gamma radiation for a few seconds before the entire DNA collapses from the cells being eroded.
Only a Galaxy rank expert could withstand the intensity of radiation for a prolonged amount of time. Even then, without constant protection from Gene Force, the DNA structure would undoubtedly collapse. This meant that the death rate of practicing this technique was actually 97%!
Successfully practising the manual would grant one the strength to wipe out an entire army with a single palm and when one reaches the peak of the technique, one could break a planet with a fist strike. It was said that an entire solar system could be wiped out at maximum strength! But the prerequisite was that one needed to survive the process first otherwise, die trying.
David's moved heart instantly dropped. Although this was a galaxy-ranked technique, it was pretty much useless if it could guarantee the death of the user. This technique was nothing more than an assassination tactic for those who think they are special enough to practice the technique.
Was this old man actually trying to kill him or was he truly hoping David would successfully practice the technique?
Despite his strength and experience, David didn't think he was anything special compared to the multitude of geniuses out there. His body was incredibly strong and in his hybrid form, he could claim he was unparalleled in the same stage. But surviving 10,000 rads of gamma rays wasn't something David would bet his life on.
Even then, he memorized the entire book, not revealing a single bit of his thoughts as he continued to read through the book. After a while, he gave the old man the book while at the same time thanking him.
"You should be very careful when you begin practising the technique. Being exposed to that much radiation for a prolonged period of time could cause radiation poisoning, so be careful. But once you pass the first stage; Carnage, you will notice a massive leap in strength and when you reach the achieve the Immortal Devil stage, you will feel that the torture would be totally worth it. " The old man warned.
'Has he actually practised the technique?' Noticing that the old man was talking about it as though it was from experience, David couldn't help but ask, "What stage have you reached?"
The old man smiled bitterly but refused to say another word making David quite curious. If the old man had actually successfully practiced the first stage of the manual, it would be quite an incredible feat and David wasn't certain he could defeat him even if he used his vampire body unless he transform to his hybrid form. But the success rate of reaching the first level; Carnage is 97% which meant that it was impossible for the old man to actually successfully practice the technique. No one would risk their lives on 3% chance of survival.
After talking for a few more minutes, David took his leave. On the train, he contemplated deeply about the technique. It was very much like a legacy technique but also very different as it required the use of external source; gamma radiation to merge and alter the entire DNA structure.
David kept thinking that since his DNA had already been completely altered by Vampire Body and Werewolf body, what would happen if the gamma radiation alter his already altered gene, wouldn't he turn into an abomination?
Undoubtedly his strength would rise to a whole new level even stronger than his previous level when he was at his peak, but he had no idea what he would become in his hybrid form.
As for the fear of his DNA being destroyed by the exposure to gamma rays, David honestly wasn't worried about that. His innate ability of absolute control had gone being the limit of controlling muscles, tissues and bones, it has advanced even further to the extent he could now control his DNA structure to the molecular level!
David raised his right hand to his face and as though they were a bunch of nanobots, his hands transformed into a webbed hand and then changed again as his fingers started to transform into pure blades one by one. As though it wasn't enough, a pinkish slit appeared at the center of his palm, opening up to reveal a pitch-black eye appeared.
This time, there was sweat dripping on David's face. It can't easy to construct this eye. The eye rolled about, looking around curiously before his hand transformed back into its usual form. With this ability, he could regenerate dead cells, recreate an entire DNA structure in his body. Naturally, he wasn't afraid of radiation destroying his DNA! He was the perfect fit for the Technique!
"Ahhhhh!!!"
