Super Gene Hunting Ground

Chapter 108: Chapter 108 He Must Die (Fourth Update)

Feifei could give the Golden Armor to Yang Xiao without hesitation, but wouldn’t be willing to give it to Long Yongjun. However, since Yang Xiao personally intervened, Feifei had to comply.

When Yang Xiao asked Long Yongjun to wear the Golden Armor, Xia Luo’s eyes noticed the two beauties beside Yang Xiao, Deng Xiao and Qin Yu.

Deng Xiao also saw Xia Luo.

Deng Xiao wanted to go over to say hello, but upon seeing Xia Luo’s cold gaze, her advancing steps stopped again.

She saw a familiar yet unfamiliar cousin, Xia Luo.

”Are you done with your business?”

Xia Luo’s cold tone rang out again, seeming a bit impatient.

Yang Xiao patted Long Yongjun’s Golden Armor, showing his appreciation, then took two steps forward and said:

”Isn’t your intention just to form an alliance with us, Kongming Academy? Simple, I agree with you!”

Buzz!

The entire audience’s minds buzzed, including Xia Luo; everyone looked at Yang Xiao in disbelief.

Zhao Gang shouted, ”Boss!”

Yang Xiao waved his hand to stop Zhao Gang and said:

”I know what I’m doing.”

”Haha... Good, you really know how to adapt to the times. No wonder you can become the boss of Kongming Academy. If you agreed earlier, wouldn’t everything be fine without the need to fight?”

”Hehe, slow down, I have conditions.”

Yang Xiao said.

Xia Luo was a bit stunned.

”What are your conditions? Let’s hear them. As long as they’re not excessive, I can consider them.”

”First, we are forming an alliance, not merging or annexing. The two schools can help each other, but remain independent. We will not follow your orders.”

Upon Yang Xiao stating the first condition, the corner of Xia Luo’s mouth twitched, and his face became gloomy.

”Second, our current Genetic Evolution level is relatively low. We hope Xianan University can, in the spirit of brotherhood as allies, give us a hand.”

”Help you? How?”

”This... Lend us 100,000 Crystal Coins for temporary use. If not 100,000, then 80,000 is also fine. We’ll pay you back when we have money in the future.”

”Pfft!”

Huang Wen could finally not hold back and laughed, covering her mouth. The others also had smiles on their faces. If such conditions could forge an alliance between Kongming Academy and Xianan University, why not?

Zhao Gang and Xiao Zhe looked at Yang Xiao, wondering if he was crazy. How could he say such things?

Not just them; many people thought Yang Xiao was crazy, especially those from Xianan University.

Xia Luo’s face became even gloomier. He bit his lip and sneered:

”You really have the nerve to ask for a lion’s share. I haven’t even demanded resources from you or asked you to pay tribute, and you’re asking me for 100,000 Crystal Coins. Is your brain waterlogged?”

Yang Xiao wasn’t angry at all and said:

”You surely think I’m crazy, but I’m actually incredibly clear-minded right now. Whether Kongming Academy or Xianan University, we are facing competition from Genetic Evolution. We not only have to compete with Mutated Creatures but also with other similar forces. You’re thinking of annexing me; how do you know others aren’t thinking of annexing you too?”

Hearing Yang Xiao’s words, Xia Luo’s expression softened slightly, as Yang Xiao’s words touched upon his inner concerns.

”Your purpose in annexing us essentially has two goals: first, to gain our talent resources. You saw today that Kongming Academy is also full of talents, and our current Evolution speed is good. Given time, we can grow into a strong force. What is the most valuable in the apocalypse? Talent!”

Yang Xiao’s last sentence elicited knowingly smiles from everyone present.

Qin Yu and Deng Xiao looked at Yang Xiao beside them, both showing admiration in their eyes.

Xia Luo noticed all of this, and his heart was slightly moved.

”Your second purpose in annexing us is hoping we will obey your leadership, become your slaves and servants, help you hunt Mutated Creatures, and hand over the obtained Genetic Fragments for your enjoyment. When encountering enemies, you want us to charge into battle, right?”

Yang Xiao’s words directly pointed to the essence of Xia Luo’s purpose on this trip, making Xia Luo’s expression somewhat awkward and causing indignation among the people of Kongming Academy, filling them with a sense of crisis.

”So what?”

Xia Luo raised his head arrogantly. In his current ideology, as long as he held absolute power, he didn’t worry about how others would evaluate his actions.

Yang Xiao smiled and said:

”So what? There are only two outcomes for your visit here today. First, we fight it out, kill a thousand enemies, lose eight hundred of our own. You’ve seen our lineup. With just these few hundred people, you almost can’t conquer Kongming Academy today. Even if you are determined to fight to the death and perish together, by the end, when you’ve killed all our people, you’d have nearly no one left. The question is, what do you want an empty shell Kongming Academy for? What’s the use?”

After Yang Xiao finished speaking, he turned back and shouted to the people of Kongming Academy:

”Brothers and sisters, Xianan University’s people want to conquer us, enslave us. Do we agree?”

”Absolutely not!”

More than a thousand people shouted in unison, the sound echoing to the heavens, allowing Xia Luo to personally feel the strong will and unity of Kongming Academy.

Zhao Gang raised the sword in his hand and shouted loudly:

”For freedom, we’d rather die!”

”Swear to defend Kongming Academy!”

”Shed the last drop of blood, never surrender!”

More than a thousand people followed Zhao Gang in shouting, igniting a fervent spirit in the entire field.

Xia Luo was also internally shaken. The intelligence he received before suggested that Kongming Academy was a divided entity, with more than a dozen teams full of infighting, and everyone was afraid of death. It claimed that girls would sacrifice their bodies for a few biscuits, and men would fight to the death over a pack of chicken legs. But the current situation was entirely different!

Initially thinking that just bringing his elite guard would make everyone in Kongming Academy bow down was a miscalculation—they were so united, and their morale was so high.

More critically, based on Kongming Academy’s previous battles with Kong Tianqing and Zhou Qiang, their Combat Power was not bad either.

Believing in the supremacy of strength, Xia Luo also appeared a bit hesitant.

Yang Xiao waved a hand to his people behind him, and everyone immediately became quiet.

Yang Xiao turned to look at Xia Luo, calmly saying:

”Actually, I also hope to ally with you. As long as we treat each other sincerely and open each other’s teleport stations, whenever either side encounters difficulties in the future, everyone can provide timely rescue and mutual help. What do you say?”

What else could Xia Luo say?

If it were to come to a violent attack, the outcome would undoubtedly be tragic. As Yang Xiao said, even if he exhausted all his men, in the end, all that would remain would be an empty shell of Kongming Academy, with no practical meaning, and his own forces severely depleted.

Xia Luo was not the type to act impulsively.

However, just retreating like this really bruised his ego.

”You, Xianan University, have a higher overall Evolution level than us. In future joint activities, we can follow your reasonable arrangements and commands. It’s reported that the Genetic Evolution level in the city has reached 7; maybe they will soon have the ability to kill the Giant Snake guarding Kongming Bridge. When that happens, the first to be attacked will be you, Xianan University. If they demand you follow their orders and leadership, will you resist or accept?

If our two places form an alliance, our strength would greatly increase, and the other party wouldn’t dare to make excessive demands, right?”

Yang Xiao’s words provided Xia Luo with a graceful way to back down, allowing Xia Luo to maintain dignity in front of his subordinates.

Xia Luo took a light breath, paused, and said:

”Yang Xiao, your proposal is not bad. I’ll go back and think about it for three days. An equal alliance is already giving you a great deal of respect. But giving you 100,000 Crystal Coins, that’s impossible. It’s already good I don’t ask you for money, and you’re asking me for money. Ridiculous... Let today’s incident end here. Release Kong Tianqing and the others.”

The 300 people from the Physics College were a strong force, which he definitely wanted to retain.

Though Xia Luo felt Yang Xiao’s words made sense, he didn’t want to agree to Yang Xiao’s request immediately, fearing he would lose face.

Yang Xiao hadn’t really expected Xia Luo to lend him 100,000 Crystal Coins.

Beside him, Zhao Gang whispered a few words into Yang Xiao’s ear. Yang Xiao’s expression changed, and he gritted his teeth, saying:

”Anyone can leave, except Kong Tianqing—he must die today!”
