After returning home, Chen Yu spent several days memorizing the entire Jade Skin Geno Art completely.
Every circulation route.
Every breathing method.
Every movement.
He remembered everything perfectly.
Inside his shelter room, Chen Yu sat cross-legged silently while trying to practice Jade Skin for the first time.
But no matter how much he practiced—
nothing happened.
The geno energy inside his body remained chaotic.
The circulation paths constantly failed midway.
Several hours passed.
Then several more days passed.
Still—
he could not even reach the basic level of Jade Skin.
Chen Yu opened his eyes slowly.
Then he sighed heavily.
"Han Sen really is a monster…"
"In the original story, Han Sen practices almost every Geno Art like a cheat."
"Why is it this hard for me?"
Compared to Han Sen—
his own talent felt terrible.
Chen Yu rubbed his forehead helplessly.
Now he finally understood how difficult high-level Geno Arts truly were.
Even after fully memorizing Jade Skin—
his body still could not circulate it correctly.
"I really have bad luck…"
Chen Yu stood up slowly and prepared to stop practicing temporarily.
But suddenly—
inside his Sea of Consciousness—
the Hōgyoku released a bright blue light.
The entire Sea of Consciousness illuminated instantly.
Chen Yu froze completely.
Then—
the blue light spread throughout his entire body.
Warm.
Gentle.
Comfortable.
It felt like his entire body was soaking inside a warm spring.
A refreshing sensation continuously washed through his muscles, bones, and veins.
Chen Yu unconsciously released strange sounds.
The feeling was too comfortable.
Time passed slowly.
One hour later—
the light gradually disappeared.
Silence returned to the room again.
Chen Yu finally opened his eyes slowly.
Then—
his face instantly became red.
Only now did he realize the strange sounds he made earlier.
He immediately looked around the shelter room nervously.
Thankfully—
there was nobody else inside.
Chen Yu finally relaxed slightly.
Then he suddenly realized something else.
His body felt… different.
Very different.
So he immediately sat down again and circulated Jade Skin once more.
This time—
the geno energy flowed perfectly through every circulation route.
Smooth.
Natural.
Without a single mistake.
Chen Yu's eyes widened completely.
Jade Skin circulated throughout his body continuously.
His skin gradually gained a faint jade-like glow.
Success.
He had finally entered the basic level of Jade Skin.
Chen Yu remained stunned for several moments.
Then—
he almost wanted to cry again.
Previously, he constantly complained because the Hōgyoku kept absorbing his beast souls.
He thought he gained nothing from it.
But now—
the Hōgyoku had directly improved his talent and body compatibility.
Chen Yu slowly clenched his fists tightly.
Then—
inside the empty shelter room—
he suddenly roared excitedly.
"Hahahaha!"
For the first time in a long while—
Chen Yu finally felt completely satisfied with the Hōgyoku.
