Future sat on the sofa and told them everything about Henry's first research with the Spiritual Stone on the island, up until the time when he absorbed the energy of Fire Crystal on his own.
"Are you saying that there is a cyclone of energy in Boss' body? And it is divided into two colours?" After listening to Future's story, Wade felt that it sounded quite incredible.
Future nodded her head.
Regarding the cyclone of energy that resided in Henry's abdomen, the fact of it had always been buried at the very bottom of Future's heart and had never been told to anyone about it, not even Henry knew about it.
Future smiled self- deprecatingly and said, "How ironic. I've mastered technology that has received the recognition of surpassing the technology of the present by 50 years. However, regarding the changes within Boss' body, I can only regard it as some sort of inner force, just exactly as written in those martial arts novels, including the Qi we have mastered, may just be one form of inner force."
"What do you mean?" A confused Wade asked. He knew that Future was a very careful person, she would never have given such a groundless guess if she did not have a certain extent of certainty.
Future pulled out her mobile phone and tapped on the screen a few times. A beam of light shot out from the camera on the back of her mobile phone, creating a projection on the wall, on it were numerous data analysis diagrams.
She pointed at the projection on the wall and said, "I have recently conducted a comprehensive analysis of the energy system that lies within the Spiritual Stone and the Fire Crystal. I have also extracted more than a hundred types of DNA, and ordered for samples from ancient civilisation locations to be sent to me. According to the comparisons in data, the DNA of most creatures are compatible with the energy within the Spiritual Stone. In other words, these creatures originally possess some Qi. Among these are DNA from creatures like cheetahs, elephants, rhinoceros, ants and so on, which possess much more primitive strength than humans. The DNA of humans today lacks the similar sort of energy."
After saying that, Future swiped the screen of her mobile phone, and the projection on the wall changed.
She continued, "These samples were collected from the ancient site where human beings lived. From them, some DNA of ancient humans could be found. After some observation, I found that there was a similar energy pattern to the Spiritual Stone in the DNA of ancient humans. My calculations showed this kind of energy pattern still existed in the DNA of human beings at the beginning of the 18th century, but at the end of the 18th century, these energy patterns disappeared from their DNA."
"Do you mean to say that we are degenerating?" Wade frowned.
"Looking at DNA alone, it does seem like it." Future nodded, then shook her head. "Of course, we can't generalise that, so in my opinion, this so-called Qi is actually a kind of inner force written in martial arts novels. A long time ago, it was basically a human's ability, just like how we can see with our eyes, but bats cannot. It's just that these abilities gradually degenerate, but there are still some who retained them. This group of people exist in the clans and the blood of the clan members runs the same. As long as their bloodline is maintained as pure as possible, this DNA can continue to exist. What Boss is faced with now, I suspect that it was the work
