Sorting all the memories, Ethan looked at his chest where the beast had pierced with its claw. His entire upper shirt had been ripped apart and blood marks stained the shredded shirt.
But to Ethan's utter bewilderment, Ethan found the injury to be almost healed… only scrabs on the injury remained.
In his state of shock, Ethan clenched his fist and felt the power coursing through his body. Though his cultivation was still at 3rd Order Spiritual Realm, Ethan felt himself to be much more powerful.
"Have my genetic enhancements of the previous life travelled with me?" Ethan questioned in shock. "Or is simply because of my transmigration?"
This was the only thing which came to Marcus' mind. But sadly no one could provide him with an answer.
Ethan took a deep breath to calm himself down. He was not someone to give up. Now that he was in situation to which he had no answers, he could only move forward. Maybe in future, he might have some chance to solve few of these mysteries. And Ethan knew very well how to move forward… to reach the pinnacle from the bottom.
Like Marcus, Ethan too had been an orphan in his previous life. He had been born in poverty with no resources to move forward.
Like Marcus, Ethan too had the grand ambition to reach the pinnacle of life and rule on everything below him.
Like Marcus, Ethan too had been willing to do all that he could to realise his dreams.
And while Marcus had been unfortunate in his endeavours, Ethan had achieved all that in his life.
With his extreme hard work and sheer will and a little bit of luck, he had reached the pinnacle of what his previous world had to offer. And without any doubt, he would do it again.

The first step which was obvious to Ethan was to understand his situation his clearly. His body and his strength had been clearly affected, most probably in a positive manner after his transmigration but he needed to understand it clearly.
Ethan took a deep breath and calmed his inner emotions as he sat cross legged.
Taking another breath, he sucked in the spiritual energy and started to circulate it as per his memories of the basic cultivation manual.

Two days passed since Ethan had arrived in this world. In these two days, he had learned many things after a lot of experimentation and made few decisions regarding his future.
The first and the important decision he had made was about his name- Marcus being an orphan had no solid identity and hence if he wanted, he could easily change his name. and Ethan did that… he was going to take up the name of his old life- Ethan but as a tribute or memoir to Marcus he had taken up his title- Clifton.
Hence, he was going to be known as Ethan Clifton.
Ethan also had made a lot discoveries about his body.
In this cultivation world, a lot of people were born with unique physiques granting them various kinds of power and Ethan seemed to possess such a physique now. It was his genetic enhancement from previous life at work or simply his transmigration, he did not know.
Firstly, without any doubt he had turned stronger. He was a lot stronger than he previously was. His physique was different- his strength, his stamina, his ability… everything had increased.
Secondly, Ethan had unique powers. Ethan had decided to call it- Evolution and Adaptability for now.
Ethan during the course of absorbing the spiritual energy felt his body evolving and adapting to it. During the cultivation, one would absorb the spiritual energy and circulate it through their spiritual veins and then pump it into their subconscious space to slowly accumulate the spiritual energy.
Ethan had an average spiritual vein. But for the past two days as Ethan would absorb the spiritual energy, he would feel them adapting and evolving to the spiritual energy. Meaning with time the flow of spiritual energy was turning smoother and smoother.
Now not only his veins, Ehtan's entire physique was evolving with the absorption of spiritual energy. It was itself turning stronger.
Now, it was not as if rest of humans did not evolve at all. With increase in every person's cultivation, their veins would evolve to bear the pressure of increased spiritual energy. So, would evolve their physique. Few people gave extra attention to their physical body and would refine and temper it to a higher degree.
Even a mortal, if he would run, his muscles would improve with time.
Then what was different with Ethan? It was the speed.
It every other person was like an iron- you would heat it and then hammer it hard to bend to a certain shape, then Ethan was like a jelly- a slight force and it would bend according to will.
Though a few things were left which Ethan had yet to experiment, he was satisfied his physique.
Finally, not only his physique… his mind and comprehensive abilities had also improved.
In mere two days, he had developed a greater understanding of the basic cultivation manual and other aspects of cultivation than Marcus had done in the past years.
Though, Ethan was not very surprised with this… as even without the genetic enhancements, he had been a genius in his previous life.
