Chapter 649 Unsuccessful Attempt, Amateur
Since all of his attention was in the important ones, he failed to notice as the genetic map that made up his hand was collapsing. Immediately, David\'s left wrist instantly turned into a pile of mushy dark red liquid.
It was then David felt that something was off. Quickly, he drank a mouthful of demigod blood. The genetic energy within the blood immediately strengthened cells, making then stronger and resilient, less likely to collapse. Another pair of clean hand grew, replacing the one that had collapsed earlier.
The process was very slow, and tiring, but he was able to teedok his fingers.
The brightness within the room faded along with the beam of extreme radiation. Finally, the first bursts of gamma rays ended with the room retrunrung to its previous state.
David laid on the ground like a mummified corpse as though he was truly dead. A strange smell wafting out from his body as he laid on the ground, breathless.
About ten second later, a gasp echoed through the room as David inhaled deep breath of oxygen and toxic radiation into his body.
Sweat dripped constantly down his face. Slowly, his mommified body began to regain their previous shape with his muscles even more defined compared to the last time.
In the blink of an eye, the damage his fleshly body took from the intense radiation disappeared and his body quickly recovered.
Almost at the same time, the timer chimed and another ten second timer began.
Removing his clothes that wasn\'t much different than a rag, his body recovered to it\'s previous state even stronger than before. He activated the technique and a greenish color appeared on the screen at the top of his head, ten more seconds passed by and an intense brightness overtook the large training room.
The beam shot towards David with speed that even David\'s eyes was unable to trace, his body trembled and his body tilted backwards as another burst of gamma rays penetrated through his skin, altering his DNA in the process along with the execution of the technique.

"Welcome to Starlink training sir, how may I help you
" Julia smiled brightly at the new customer and her teeth shone brilliantly white.
"I need the usual, but I need it for an hour this time." An handsome middle-aged man with a calm demeanour and a deep looking eyes spoke.
Juliavs eyes widened a little and she quickly put on her most beautiful smile, as she recognised the person before her.
It was actually a Peak Cosmic stage expert who usually visit this place for his monthly trading session. With his popularity amongst the masses as Syxton, the Flammable Blade. His strength naturally was nothing to be scoffed about. Beacsue of that, he was one of the most eligible bachelors within this city.
"A moment please."
Smiling cutely in a bid to win his favour Julia\'s moved as she clicked on her holographic screen, tapping in a few commands.
A few seconds later, her face drooped a little, letting out an awkward smile, she faced Syxton and replied him. "Sir, the room is apparently being used by another client, maybe you could manage the Level-4 Nuclear rooms?"
Syxton\'s brow furrowed. But he wasn\'t angry, more like surprised. So far as he knew, not many individuals below the Cosmic stage could withstand the radiation of level-5 training room while Galaxy rank expert with technique that require radiation would find it easier and enjoyable to absorb radiation directly from the sun instead of an artificially created one.
Hence his surprise at the mention of the room currently being used. He was really curious as to who that person was but didn\'t ask out of politeness since it involved customer\'s Confidentiality.
"How long do I have to wait?" Syxton asked.
"The customer paid for about an hour, but it should take that long since he only went there for research purpose." Julia confessed.
"Oh?" Syxton really though the person was going to operate the Nuclear reactor, it turns out it was only for research. But what research actually require something that dangerous. Seeing as it was non of his business, Syxton chose to remain until the room is made available.

Just like that, David went through several bursts of radiation. This went on for about an hour until he felt his entire genetic structure would really collapse if he went on any longer.
At this time, David\'s body was extremely bloody and he had grken several inches taller compared to when he first walked in here.
David smiled bitterly in his mind. He was actually inhale to reach the first level of the Ultimate Gamma Radiant Physique even after experiencing torturous pain for an hour straight.
According to his estimate, it would take about five days to a week of constant rays of gamma radiation before his DNA becomes permanently altered by the technique. This was due to his vampire body and his werewolf body rejecting it. His dragon body had been dormant all this time, leading to David believing that its gene had been exhausted during his death. Though, he wasn\'t exactly sure.
As for the Ultimate Gamma Radiant Physique Technique, it was the most difficult one he had faced so far. Usually, he comprehends any technique very quickly as long as it had something to do with the body. But this one was proving really difficult to comprehend even the first level.
Switching off the Nuclear reactor, David walked into a shower that appeared after a compartment opened up, he carefully showered. the temperature of the pressurised steam was extremely high, and could burn a person\'s skin off but for David, it was barely warm enough.
When he was done, he noticed that the room was different than before. All the mess he made had all been cleaned up. It was mostly likely the robotic arm that was now retracting back into the metallic ceiling. After cleaning up, he exited the training room and his account was debited as payment. After a few more minutes, David walked out of the elevator while heading to the lobby along with the key.
Passing by a few individuals, David ignored the other attendant and went towards the more familiar one.
"Welcome to Starlink training center, how can I help -oh its you." Julia immediately let out a sigh of relief, accepting the key card from him and inputting a few words into her system.
"Did you manage to make your findings?" Trying to get rid of the awkward silence, Julia tried to make small talks.
David softly shook his head. "I wasn\'t able to. But I will continue coming here for the next few days."
Julia froze and she frowned slightly. Was this guy trying to kill himself and make the Training Center pay for it? Because which Metoer rank person especially a kid would dare to near a 3,000 rads of radiation without the fear of death.
"Thank you and have a great day." David nodded as he took back his stuffs. Before leaving, he saw an handsome middle-aged man looking at him with a confused expression.
\'Uhn? Flame blade; Syxton? Matulfs would literally go crazy for his signature. What is he doing here anyways.\'
His gaze lingered in the man like a casual stare and in the next second, his eyes squinted as he saw the air around the middle aged man shook from instability. It was as though Syxton\'s body contained an unimaginable amount of strength enough to destabilise gravity.
Raising an eyebrow, David chuckled within. "Amateur." With that, he turned to leave.
Syxton\'s hair naturally flexed around as though they had life of their own. Suddenly, they froze and a confused expression appeared om Syxton\'s face.
"Amateur?" Did a kid just call him an Amateur?
After a while of contemplation, Syxton shook his head. He was probably mistaken. The kid probably said something else.
"Sir? Sir!?"
Syxton turned towards the young lady that had been trying to catch his attention. He grabbed the door card and headed upwards using the elevator. The words still lingering in his mind as he went ahead into the room.
The moment he was about to switch on the Nuclear reactor, his eyes inadvertently touched upon the value written on the holographic image. His eyes immediately widened and just a bit more, his heart would have leapt out of his throat!
What was he seeing? 10,000 rads? He could barely withstand the standard 3,000 rads per second. If he hadn\'t checked and immediately turned it on, he would have been immediately poisoned and there was nothing he would be able to do about it but hope to recover.
Had there been a Galaxy rank expert here? But the last person to use the room was the kid earlier! All of a sudden, the words the kid had said came to him again. \'Amateur\'
