120: cloning project

This terrifying Tenacity and frightening defensive capability simply couldn't belong to ordinary tiger fur.

Yet, no abnormalities could be discerned.

How was this possible? What exactly was going on?

What was he lacking that prevented him from uncovering the secret hidden within the Tiger King?

Professor Arnos felt an immense headache.

For the first time, he lost confidence in his research.

Perhaps there existed things in this world that science couldn't explain.

Just like the Legendary one!

Perhaps he should adopt some unscientific methods and do something to unravel this almost unsolvable mystery and get the answers he desired.

Just then, Mike hurried in and reported, "Professor, it's not good."

"The C-class Awakened team led by Yusuf has been completely wiped out!"

"Not only that, but it was a devastating wipeout."

"In just one encounter, the Tiger King completely annihilated them."

"On a side note, the Tiger King has now grown to over a meter in length."

"With such terrifying speed, if we intend to act, we must do so quickly."

Recalling the scene seen through satellite surveillance, Mike still felt a chill.

Every time Lin Tianwei made a move, he cleanly dispatched an Awakened.

It was as if the Awakened, who were immensely powerful to ordinary people, were nothing more than ants in his eyes.

Although the situation inside the warehouse was still unknown due to the wall's obstruction, it was clear that the remaining three had already been sacrificed.

The Tiger King always managed to bring huge surprises.

Even though he was currently only in a cub state, his strength was still terrifying to the extreme!

This was truly bad news.

Not capturing Lin Tianwei made Professor Arnos secretly sigh with regret, yet he also felt it was only natural.

If the Tiger King could be captured alive for research, that would certainly be the best option.

But Professor Arnos had a premonition.

The capture plan might not go so smoothly.

Not to mention his terrifying amplification ability from before, just from the Tiger King's perpetually calm eyes, it was evident that everything before them seemed to be within his calculations.

What a formidable opponent!

After a brief thought, Professor Arnos said, "Leave professional matters to professionals."

"Pato and his team are far more professional than us and will do better."

"And research is what we should be doing."

"The Tiger King's power might be a good thing for us."

"This also means his research value is greater."

"It's not just his terrifying combat power; this mysteriously powerful strength is even more precious."

After a moment of hesitation, Professor Arnos said, "Perhaps he could even be compared to the Legendary one."

The Legendary one?

How could that be?

Mike's face showed shock as he said, "How is that possible?"

"I admit the Tiger King is formidable, but you're overestimating him a bit too much."

"Compared to the Legendary one, you don't even consider if he's worthy."

Professor Arnos shook his head and said, "Before, I thought the same as you."

"However, the facts quickly proved me wrong."

"Perhaps I was mistaken from the very beginning."

"Only the Tiger King is the most valuable subject for research, the most terrifying hidden treasure."

"It's just a pity that at the time, my eyes were only on Black Fiend."

"After a simple exploration and failing to find the reason for the Tiger King's immense size, I gave up."

"After all, between a subject that can be directly researched and one with absolutely no research clues, I could only temporarily choose the latter."

"Looking back now, I was truly foolish then."

"If I had strictly guarded, closely monitored, and researched the Tiger King from the start, perhaps things wouldn't have turned out this way."

Thinking of the countless people who died because of Lin Tianwei, Professor Arnos fell into deep self-reproach.

If he had discovered it earlier, perhaps there would have been a turn for the better.

Facing Professor Arnos's self-reproach, Mike advised, "Professor, you shouldn't blame yourself too much."

"In fact, you weren't the only one watching the Tiger King."

"Other professors also came to the same conclusion as you."

At this point, Mike sighed and said, "Perhaps it's not that we lacked foresight."

"Rather, the Tiger King was sufficiently hidden."

"He evaded everyone's gaze, ultimately gaining immense power, and broke free from the Research Institute's restraints in one fell swoop."

Hearing this, Professor Arnos said nothing, merely nodding noncommittally.

Looking once more at the tiger fur that had been split in two, Professor Arnos finally made up his mind and said,

"I have decided to initiate the cloning project. This time, you will assist me."

Hearing this, Mike also became somewhat excited and said, "Cloning project?"

"Professor, rest assured, I will cooperate with you fully."

With almost no progress in the genetic research of Lin Tianwei, Professor Arnos finally decided to try cloning technology.

Although Lin Tianwei's genes showed no abnormalities, they currently had no other viable solutions.

Furthermore, the Ismail Institute had abundant resources.

Even if there was less than a one in ten thousand chance of success, they could still try.

And once the cloning project succeeded, the entire Ismail Institute would gain unimaginable rewards.

When first entering the Primeval Forest.

Before entering the Beast Arena.

Before being put into the Primeval Forest.

And the recently acquired tiger fur.

Professor Arnos planned to use Lin Tianwei's genes acquired at these four times as samples.

He would conduct cloning experiments frantically, attempting to uncover the secret of how Lin Tianwei became so powerful.

—

Wiped out!

Instantly wiped out!

It was an instant wipeout?

Pato looked at the report his subordinate brought, truly finding it hard to believe.

That was a powerful C-class Awakened team, and they actually achieved the feat of being instantly sacrificed.

Letting the Tiger King go, or fighting the Tiger King to the death.

Pato instantly chose the second answer.

Not to mention the immense harm the Tiger King had caused to the Ismail Institute, the sole reason that Lin Tianwei was still standing on the land of America was enough for Pato to target him.

How could he allow others to snore beside his bed?

What's more, there was Lin Tianwei's strength, which clearly wasn't simple.

He possessed incredibly enticing research value, enough to make the Ismail Institute take notice.

Thinking of this, Pato unhesitatingly increased the bounty on Lin Tianwei to thirty million mane.

If he could be captured alive, an additional twenty million mane could be obtained!

Under a heavy reward, there would surely be brave men.

Coupled with Lin Tianwei's confirmed location, it was believed that a powerful Esper unit would soon go to subdue this incredibly terrifying Tiger King.

Looking at the German Shepherd with its tail tucked, trembling before him, Lin Tianwei silently commanded:

"Drink water, drink water frantically!"

Today would be an attempt, an attempt at the Extraordinary Gene.

He began using the German Shepherd as experimental material, attempting to unravel the secret of Awakening!
