Chapter 90 Bone Wings
“Uncle Ling, let’s try. If it doesn’t work, we won’t force it.”
Ding Ning kept a death grip on Bone Demon’s wrist and he gave an order with a resolute expression to the superpower ball of light.
Bone Demon’s entire body trembled. He could only feel a deep well of power rushing into his body from Ding Ning’s finger.
The endless and constant pain that tormented Bone Demon had lessened to a large degree, however, Ding Ning’s entire body was shaking and sweat dripped off his brow like rain. Waves of bone cracking rang out constantly and the muscles on his face were twisted together like he was enduring some incredible pain.
This made him feel very guilty. Just as he was going to throw off Ding Ning’s hand and stop the treatment, a pain that was thousands of times stronger than anything he felt in the past suddenly shot through his internal organs, making him cry out then faint.
Ding Ning was also suffering. Under his prompting, the superpower ball of light unwillingly entered Bone Demon’s body.
It was as if they had opened Pandora’s Box. A strange power echoed back from within Bone Demon’s body, forcefully breaking his genes and making changes happen in his bones.
Pain. Pain that was difficult to endure. Ding Ning guarded his last shred of clarity and hung onto Bone Demon’s wrist with a death grip. It was only because of this that he was not broken by the inhuman pain.
The bones in his body were like wriggling maggots that burrowed through his flesh and continued to grow. His skin was already beginning to toughen and was showing signs of calcification.
Aghast, Chu Yunna covered her mouth with her hands, tears sliding down like rain. She hoped that Bone Demon could be treated but the price could not be Ding Ning taking his place.
But now, present developments had clearly exceeded her imaginations. Bone Demon’s body was gradually becoming normal but Ding Ning’s was becoming the new Bone Demon.
“No!”
Like a woman crazed, Chu Yunna leaped forward to try and separate Ding Ning and Bone Demon’s hands but an invisible strength forced her away, making it impossible for her to approach them.
She kneeled helplessly on the ground and cried silently, tears blurring her vision. She felt very regretful. She knew that it would be difficult for Ding Ning but she had still begged Ding Ning to rescue Uncle Ling and that was what caused this disaster.
Ding Ning could not talk for the pain but his mind was clearer than it had ever been before. If he could choose, he would rather faint than endure this inhuman torment.
Did he regret it? Ding Ning asked this of himself. If he said he was not regretful, that would be a lie but if he had to do it again, he would still make the same decision!
Uncle Ling had endured such pain for many years yet he had only endured it for a little while.
This made him feel respect and sympathy for Uncle Ling. How much willpower did he need to be able to endure such inhuman torment?
Crack, crack!
Following two gentle sounds, a wave of pain so strong that almost knocked Ding Ning out came from his back.
Shocked, Chu Yunna watched as a pair of wings, no more than 15 centimeters, broke through Ding Ning’s back sluggishly.
Ding Ning, who knew nothing of all this, was still laughing bitterly. From now on, he would become a Bone Demon who could not stand under sunlight. He wondered how Ling Yun and Shen Muqing would react upon seeing him like this.
Xiao Nuo, that silly girl. If there were not Ling Yun and Shen Muqing, he would have unhesitantly accepted her.
And there was also… the devil. That night was murky and confused. He had not even had time to savor his first time and he found that rather regretful.
Who knew if the devil would still recognize him the next time they met?
And there was also Zhao Xin’s devil-like sister. He wondered what he looked like. After all, she was an 18-year-old Ph.D. student. What a pity that he would not have an opportunity to met her.
As Ding Ning’s thoughts rambled, the pain was gradually disappearing. He did not even realize that the stone man was beginning to glow with a red light and enveloping him in it. He thought that his nerves had adjusted to this level of pain and was beginning to grow numb.
As the superpower in Bone Demon’s body surged back endlessly, the wings on Ding Ning’s back continued to grow wildly while the superpower ball of light had long become thousands of strands of power that moved back and forth within Bone Demon’s body, endlessly purging his superpower. Or in other words, perfecting his gene sequence.
Just as Ding Ning was about to lose consciousness, his body shook suddenly and a map covered densely with data appeared in his mind.
This was… a genome map! Ding Ning’s eyes widened in shock.
As everyone knew, chromosomes were the carrier of genetic material. Human cells had a total of 23 pairs of chromosomes. Among them, 44 chromosomes were common between men and women, known as autosomal chromosomes. The other pair, which determined difference in sex, were different between men and women. They were known as the sex chromosomes.
Men and women’s chromosomes were not the same. Men had an X and a Y chromosome while women had two X chromosomes.
For the sake of Shen Muqing’s hereditary heart disease, Ding Ning had specifically read information about genomes. He knew that the human genome was known as “the human body’s second anatomical map”. By analyzing a person’s 22 pairs of autosomal chromosomes and obtaining the genome, it could aid in preventing hereditary diseases and provide a basis for the study of new medicine and treatment methods.
The genome map in his mind was clearly more perfect and detailed than the genome maps he had seen during his research. Furthermore, it was three-dimensional and very clear.
This made Ding Ning feel strangely happy but also shocked, was this Uncle Ling’s genome map? Had his superpower grown even more powerful, to the point where he could observe human genomes?
He withdrew his mind and forgot everything as he eagerly analyzed the genome map in his mind.
The last pair of the 22 chromosomes was rather small but was connected to the immune system, hereditary heart disease, schizophrenia, intellectual ability, leukemia, and many other diseases.
However, Ling Fei did not have any hereditary diseases. His 22nd pair of chromosomes looked very normal but it was vastly different from the data.
The nature of organisms was determined by genetics, perhaps this was the reason Bone Demon’s genes underwent calcification changes.
Ding Ning narrowed his eyes in thought for a long time. By the time he came back to himself, he realized the main in his body had disappeared and his calcified skin had returned to normal. Although Bone Demon was still unconscious, the calcification of his body had completely disappeared. His entire body was blood but it had become like that of a normal person.
Ding Ning quickly took his pulse and found that all his vitals were normal. He only had to rest for a while to return to his original appearance. Only with this did he let out a breath.
After he applied some medicine to stop the bleeding, he could not help a smile rising to his face.
But what made him even happier was that he did not turn into a bone monster as he had thought he would. Even his superpower ball of light had returned to the superpower space. It was as if it had eaten its fill and was waiting there, lazily not moving.
However, when he turned his head to look at Chu Yunna, he found she still wore an expression of disbelief and was looking at him strangely.
“What’s wrong? Nana, Uncle Ling is fine now and I’m fine too, why do you still look like that? Do you need me to turn into a bone monster for you to think it everything is normal?”
Ding Ning was in a great mood and he spoke teasingly.
“No, brother, are you… just like King Bat and grew wings?”
Chu Yunna pointed at Ding Ning’s back and asked shyly.
“Wings? What nonsense are you speaking?”
Ding Ning stretched out his hand back to feel it but did not find anything and thought that Chu Yunna was having him on.
“You can’t reach like this, it’s right behind the shoulder.”
Chu Yunna swallowed. There was some sorrow in her eyes, had Brother Master also become some kind of monster?
“Where are there wings? All you know is how to make jokes…”
An explosive sound came from Ding Ning’s bones and his arm went at an unbelievable angle to touch his back. The feeling of bone in his hand made his expression change immediately and his smile froze on his face. Unable to help himself, he cursed explosively. “F*ck, I actually do have wings.”
“Brother, don’t get too worried. It might not be bad to have wings. Try and see if you can fly.”
Chu Yunna comforted Ding Ning with warm words when she noticed his mournful expression.
“Even if I can fly, I don’t want to grow wings. How will I go out to see people? Doesn’t this make me some kind of bird person?”
Although Ding Ning said such things, he still could not help but be curious and wanted to see what it was like to be a bird man.
But no matter how much he flapped his wings, there was no reaction. Goddamn, the wings were useless. WIth a worried look, he asked,
“Nana, do I look handsome with wings? Will it affect my handsome appearance?”
Chu Yunna tilted her head and considered him seriously. She nodded her head firmly and said, “No matter whether or not you have wings, you are almost the most handsome to me.”
Ding Ning felt very comforted. He could count on his little servant to love him and even her words of comfort were spoken so warmly.
But to have such a large pair of useless wings was very annoying, how could he go out to see people?
Just as he was wondering the possibility of surgery removing these things, a red light suddenly shot out from the stone man straight between Ding Ning’s eyes. In a flash, it disappeared and returned to normal.
Ding Ning faintly sensed anger and an unwillingness to fight. His heart skipped. Could the stone man be indicating something?
His heart suddenly jumped. Right, he had tried with True Qi and spiritual strength but he had not tried the superpower ball of light. The bone wings were a kind of superpower, perhaps the superpower ball of light could move them.
When he tried to control the superpower to move the wings, the superpower ball of light that received the order moved along his meridians quickly until it reached a position on Ding Ning’s back.
Ding Ning only felt his back heat up, he still could not feel that the bone wings had spread with his shoulder. One side was as long as 1.5 meters. The two wings together had a wingspan of over three meters.
With a gentle flap, he raised a light flow of air. With joyful surprise, Ding Ning found he was already flying in the air and was sliding around the cave. This made him nervous and panicked but also slightly excited.
I’ve become a bird person. Hahaha, the sensation of flying is great. Ding Ning quickly flapped his wings to see what speed he could reach.
With a “bang”, Ding Ning let out a tragic cry and fell into a warm and gentle embrace. Lifting his head, he saw that Chu Yunna had her lips pressed together and her sparkling eyes were filled with laughter.
Ding Ning rubbed the large bump on his head and bared his teeth in pain. He did not even have time to enjoy the size of Chu Yunna’s chest. Ding Ning struggled out of her embrace with embarrassment and anger. Unsatisfactorily, he said,
“I didn’t control my strength properly earlier and flew too high and hit the roof. Let me try again!”
Chu Yunna’s face was filled with an expression of worship. “You’re already amazing. You can do it, I’ll wait for you take me flying.”
“Hehe, just wait, watch as I make you cool and take you flying.”
Ding Ning’s vanity was immediately satisfied. He patted his chest proudly and boasted loudly.
However, for him, flying was not that easy to control. He always flew too high or flew too quick. After half an hour, he was just managing to maintain his balance and had some rough control over his height and speed and was no longer crashing into the walls. Of course, the price was that there were a few more large lumps on his head and the superpower ball of light had shrunk a great deal, leaving him in great pain.
But the surprise was at the end. As his blood surged, he playfully directed the superpower to put away the wings and the ugly wings actually retreated within his body. This made him pick Chu Yunna up in an excited hug and plant enthusiastic kisses on her. “Great, the wings can be retracted.”
