Super Gene Hunting Ground

Chapter 117: Chapter 117 Want to Witness the Dog Blood Blade Technique (Fourth Update)

Zhou Qiang led Yang Xiao and the others out of Xia Luo’s office and arrived at a classroom on the second floor. He opened the door and saw over a dozen young men lying sprawled inside.

”Ma Junhui.”

Zhou Qiang called out, and a slender young man stood up, nodded, and asked,

”Brother Qiang, what’s up?”

”Come over here, I have something to tell you.”

Ma Junhui got up and walked over.

Yang Xiao saw that this young man had fair skin and looked very refined.

”This is Yang Xiao from Kongming Academy,”

”Yang Xiao, meet Ma Junhui from the School of Architecture and Engineering. Not many from their school survived, only about a dozen, and they’re all here.”

Yang Xiao extended his hand:

”Hello!”

Ma Junhui glanced at Yang Xiao and suddenly whispered mysteriously:

”You’re the Yang Xiao who killed Kong Tianqing, right? I heard your arrow technique is amazing, even our boss Xia Luo is impressed. I’d love to see it.”

Yang Xiao chuckled; this Ma Junhui seemed polite but was very straightforward.

”Sure, if you’re willing to come to Kongming Academy to help me with something, I can show you my arrow technique every day.”

”Help? With what?”

Ma Junhui looked at Yang Xiao with curiosity.

Zhou Qiang quickly added:

”It’s like this; Kongming Academy wants to build an underground cavern and hopes your school of architecture can help with the design and guidance. Boss Xia Luo asked me to find you.”

”Hahaha...”

Ma Junhui burst out laughing, saying sarcastically,

”Isn’t it just digging a cave? What designing do you need? Even though it’s the apocalypse, I’m still a top student from the School of Civil Engineering at Xianan University. Do you know Xianan University’s school? It’s not worse than Yunhai Academy’s Civil Engineering School, even compared to Cambridge or Oxford; it doesn’t fall short. And you want me to design a cave?”

Talking about Xianan University’s School of Civil Engineering filled Ma Junhui with pride.

Yang Xiao said calmly:

”Yes.”

”How big do you want the cave to be?”

”I don’t know how big, but I want it to house 1,200 people from Kongming Academy, a big cavern. Can you design it?”

Buzz!

Ma Junhui was dumbfounded, staring at Yang Xiao for a full five seconds.

”Are you sure you want to build such a large cavern?”

”Yes.”

”Do you have building materials? I mean rebar and cement.”

”I do, near Kongming Academy there’s a building materials market, with hundreds of tons of various rebar and cement materials free for us to use, and we’ve already brought quite a lot to the school.”

”Oh?”

Evidently, this was unexpected for Ma Junhui, but the disdain in his expression significantly faded.

”Even if you have enough materials, it’s impossible to dig such a large cavern.”

”Why?”

”Because you don’t have machinery, do you plan on digging with your hands?”

”We have excavators, we’ve driven over a dozen excavators from the building market to the campus.”

Ma Junhui’s eyes widened a little, swallowing as he blandly asked a question.

”Excavators run on diesel; do you have it?”

”There’s a gas station nearby, the fuel depot has plenty of diesel, and we’ve sent dozens of people to guard it.”

Ma Junhui was completely at a loss. He paused, and then gave Yang Xiao a thumbs up:

”Impressive! You guys are really impressive!”

”So, do you have confidence in designing and constructing such a cavern?”

”Eh, isn’t it just a slightly bigger cave? What technical difficulty is there? That can’t stump me.”

”If you come with us to help construct the cavern, I’ll pay you one hundred genetic fragments per day as compensation. Is that acceptable?”

”One hundred genetic fragments? You’re sure?”

A hint of delight appeared on Ma Junhui’s face.

Yang Xiao smiled,

”Hehe, I’m sure.”

”When can we leave?”

”We can leave right now!”

Ma Junhui said as he picked up two shabby jackets from the floor, putting them on to prepare to leave.

Yang Xiao was taken aback and said:

”Xia Luo agreed that we could borrow three people, don’t you need to find two companions?”

Ma Junhui waved his hand and said:

”To dig a simple cave, I can handle it alone, let’s go.”

As soon as Ma Junhui finished speaking, someone among the dozen others called out:

”Brother Hui, take me with you.”

”Brother Hui, don’t forget your mates when there’s good stuff.”

...

Ma Junhui turned around and scolded:

”Screw you guys, even when I pick up an excavation job, you all want to join in the fun. I’m leaving, take care, brothers.”

With that, Ma Junhui left the room without looking back.

Yang Xiao and Huang Wen followed immediately.

The group walked out of the building and met Qin Yu and Deng Xiao waiting at the entrance.

Perhaps due to the presence of beauties, Qin Yu and Deng Xiao attracted the attention of many passing Xianan University students. One young man, too busy looking back at Qin Yu, accidentally walked straight into the gate, drawing laughter from those around.

Yang Xiao saw Qin Yu and nodded, teasing purposefully:

”Done with the date with your old flame? Really not planning to stay?”

Unexpectedly, Qin Yu’s face changed, turning serious:

”Yang Xiao, I respect you, and I hope you respect me. Xia Luo and I are just high school classmates, not lovers, never were, never will be.”

With that, she bit her lip, her eyes slightly red as if tears might fall.

The atmosphere grew awkward.

Deng Xiao glanced at Yang Xiao but said nothing.

Yang Xiao paused and then smiled lightly:

”Alright, just a joke, don’t take it to heart. I won’t bring it up again; let’s head back. As long as you wish, Kongming Academy will always be your home. As long as I’m here, I’ll do my best to ensure your safety, not letting anyone bully you.”

Qin Yu felt warmth inside, looking up at Yang Xiao, she said:

”Sorry, I got a bit emotional just now, I hope you don’t mind.”

Yang Xiao laughed heartily, ”Let’s go!”

The six of them brought Ma Junhui to the vicinity of the transmission array, and Yang Xiao turned to bid farewell to Zhou Qiang, who had been accompanying them.

After some polite words, Zhou Qiang suddenly looked at Long Yongjun and said:

”I heard you inherited the Wolf Skin Gold Armor, Dog Blood Blade, and Dog Blood Blade Technique, right?”

Long Yongjun was taken aback,

”Yes, why, do you want to see them?”

Zhou Qiang chuckled and said:

”Kong Tianqing lost his life for this set of equipment, along with dozens of brothers. I’m quite interested in seeing what’s so special about it.”

Long Yongjun looked at Yang Xiao.

Yang Xiao, with arms folded, said:

”Since Brother Zhou wants to see your Dog Blood Blade Technique, show him.”

Long Yongjun grew excited, immediately drawing the Dog Blood Blade with a ”swish” and positioning it horizontally across his chest, saying:

”Brother Zhou, since you want to witness it, I’m going to oblige.”

Zhou Qiang smiled faintly, his body transforming into a more than 2-meter tall long-armed ape, wielding a silver long spear.

Zhou Qiang’s Beast Soul was a long-armed ape, known for its agility attribute. Currently, his agility had reached 12 points, and the silver long spear was acquired after he and Xia Luo hunted a mutated python in Biyun Mountain, adding +2 strength, +1 agility, and +2% freeze damage.

Zhou Qiang’s current four genetic attributes were:

Strength 6 points, Agility 15 points, Defense 6 points, Wisdom 3 points.

Zhou Qiang’s Beast Soul Skill was Eight-faced Ape Arm, cultivated to the third level. A punch could create three arm shadows, as if three people were attacking simultaneously, tripling the attack damage momentarily.
