Ling Tian had not relaxed his study of advanced medical technology since descending the mountain all those years ago, so he understood what was happening as soon as he saw the data.
His third master, Gong Heming, also nodded frequently, fully approving of Ling Tian’s analysis.
Ling Tian continued, "These monsters need to consume a large amount of energy to maintain the genes within their bodies. A portion of this energy can be replenished through external means, such as through some special food or medicine, but that is far from enough.
In addition to consuming external energy, they also require a significant amount of energy from their mitochondria. This means that the shelf life of these monsters is limited. Once the energy in their mitochondrial telomeres is depleted, these monsters will be unable to carry out metabolism, leading to rapid aging and death!
This is good news for us."
Gong Heming nodded, "Naturally. The existence of such things severely violates the laws of nature. These Japanese are truly perverted to be able to concoct something like this."
A few more hours passed, and the autopsy results for the two frozen corpses also came out.
Without any signs of decay, the physical strength, muscle density, bone density, and even ligament strength of these Celestial Master warriors far surpassed those of ordinary people.
Merely by calculating these data points, they could conclude that these God-bestowed warriors possessed three to five times the strength of an average adult male, three times the reaction speed of ordinary humans, and their bodies could withstand attacks from ordinary swords and blades!
However, what was even more astonishing was the structure of the hands of these God-bestowed warriors.
On their hands, at the middle finger, was not an ordinary fingernail, but a bodily tissue that resembled the fangs of a snake.
This venomous fang was like the fangs of an ordinary snake, hollow in the middle and connected to a venom gland at the back.
Once scratched by this venomous fang, it would instantly release venom outwards, poisoning the victim. Ling Tian's fourth master, Xiang Yuntian, was injured for this very reason.
Fortunately, the treatment was timely, and it did not lead to any severe consequences. If Ling Tian's second master, Monk Jie Nu, had not insisted on carrying him back directly at that time, Xiang Yuntian would have been in mortal danger.
However, the discoveries mentioned above did not cause much of a stir among the few people present. While the technologies and ideas used were rather perverse, there was nothing particularly groundbreaking.
But soon, they made a new discovery: the comma-shaped jade ornaments in the brainstems at the back of the heads of these God-bestowed warriors.
This discovery greatly surprised the researchers, as the brainstem is the most fragile part of the human body. It could even be said that the brainstem is more fragile and more important than the human heart. Once the brainstem is damaged, the human central nervous system will collapse, and the body's organs will cease to function.
Even the most top-tier neurosurgeons would not dare to perform surgery on the brainstem of a patient. After all, even a deviation of one millimeter during surgery that injured the patient's brainstem could directly threaten their life.
Yet, these researchers watched as such a large comma-shaped jade ornament was embedded in the brainstems at the back of the heads of these corpses.
As for how this thing was embedded without causing the death of the host, that was a very significant research topic.
However, these researchers did not know the function of these comma-shaped jade ornaments, but Ling Tian's first master, Celestial Master Dao Yuan, understood it at a glance.
"These are comma-shaped jade ornaments, also known as soul jade, commonly used by those perverted Onmyoji of Japan. However, this thing is primarily used to control Shikigami. To think they used it to control these genetically modified individuals…
This is truly a… how should I put it, both a genius and a perverted idea."
Ling Tian's expression turned serious.
"Masters, I have obtained some intelligence from the memory of that Kurofuji Soma. Those ordinary intruders are members of Japan's Black Dragon Group.
As for these beings called God-bestowed warriors, they are from another force that provided support to the Black Dragon Group. Their participation in this operation this time, besides increasing some security for the operation, has another purpose: to test these God-bestowed warriors!
In other words, these God-bestowed warriors are not the final products. They will continue to manufacture and improve these God-bestowed warriors!"
"These Japanese really know how to stir things up, wasting all this technology!" Third Master Gong Heming, a top-tier doctor who dedicated his life to treating patients, deeply abhorred the Japanese people's disregard for human life and their inhumane behavior.
"Ling Tian, how do you plan to deal with these things?" First Master Dao Yuan asked.
"First Master, I plan to compile this data and then hand it over to the Orthodox Alliance. This matter has clearly exceeded our scope of handling.
Furthermore, once this technology matures and can be mass-produced, it will have a significant impact on the security of our China!"
Ling Tian's concerns were not unfounded. After all, this was different from cultivators.
Although the spiritual energy of heaven and earth was recovering, those who gained abilities due to it were still a minority.
However, this thing concocted by the Japanese was extraordinary. If the technology matured, they could turn a large number of Japanese people into these monstrous beings that were neither human nor ghost.
Even if the soul jade could be supplied indefinitely, they could even turn people from other countries into these God-bestowed warriors.
When deployed on the battlefield in the future, this thing would definitely be a top-tier warrior, a killing machine, greatly enhancing Japan's hard power.
First Master nodded, looking at Ling Tian with great satisfaction.
"You are right. The rise and fall of the world concern every man. Since we have encountered this matter, we cannot stand idly by.
Third Brother, after the autopsy is finished, immediately compile the data and have Ling Tian give it to Little Xie."
"Masters, this matter is not over. The Black Dragon Group dared to extend their claws towards Bingxia, so I will make them regret growing those claws!
I am going to Japan now to let them taste my wrath!" Ling Tian's words were filled with killing intent.
"You little rascal, revenge is best served cold! Don't rush to get revenge, hurry up. Three beautiful wives are waiting for you to dote on them.
Those young ladies have been waiting for you every day. Are you being fair to them by leaving now?" Third Master Gong Heming said.
"Yes, what Third Brother said is correct. Ling Tian, you need to pick up the pace. We are all waiting to have grand-disciples."
Ling Tian wore a wry smile. These two masters were truly not serious in their old age.
"Alright, I will obey my masters' teachings."
