Genetic Ascension novel Chapter 1309

Chapter 1309: Maybe [2200 GT Bonus]

There was a flicker of defiance in the young man’s eyes before he looked away. Clearly, he didn’t want to admit his mistake, but judging by the aura he was radiating, he was clearly well past the F-tier. What good was it for him to have an F-Grade Legendary Gene now?

If Sylas were in his normal state of mind, the answer would have been obvious from the context of their conversation. Judging by whatever realm these two came from, the young man was probably quite young when he was completing his F-tier Foundation—maybe even a toddler. The odds that a child would make a mistake were quite high.

The fact this middle-aged man thought Sylas’ Rune would fix things also probably meant that this young man hadn’t made the same mistake again. So could that mean that Sylas was meeting the first Spark Masters other than himself now?

"Less of that defiance and maybe you’d be able to keep up with the others." The middle-aged man’s excitement faded as he regained his composure.

This time, though, it was the young man who experienced a flash of rage.

"I can keep up just fine." 𝗳𝚛𝗲𝕖𝕨𝕖𝗯𝚗𝚘𝕧𝕖𝗹.𝗰𝗼𝕞

"No. You cannot. Because you didn’t listen to me back then—you thought you could do things at your own pace. Now look at you. You’ve been permanently a half step behind them all despite being no less talented, if not more. Have you learned your lesson now?"

"I was three years old."

"And so were they."

"They don’t have half my intellect. All they could do was follow instructors. I was able to make modifications to my Emperor Armor."

"And look where that got you."

The young man seemed like he wanted to argue more, but the middle-aged man cut him off.

"Enough. Take this to the elders. They will help you to integrate it properly without destroying everything, as usual. Do not do things on your own again. Go."

The middle-aged man whipped out a box and put the Legendary Gene inside of it, handing it to the young man and shoving him away.

It only took the young man a glance to see that the box was protected in ways he couldn’t unlock even if he wanted to. Clearly, only those so-called elders would be able to do it.

Ever since that mistake so many years ago, the middle-aged man had been watching him like a hawk at every step. Even now, he wasn’t taking any risks.

There wasn’t any child in the last 20-odd years that could form an F-Grade Scorpion Emperor Armor to Spark Mastery—that they could also just take the Gene from like this—and there certainly wouldn’t be another Sylas coming along anytime soon. So this was their last chance to get things right, and clearly, his father wasn’t about to let him fuck things up again.
