Super Gene Hunting Ground

Chapter 132: Chapter 132: Soul Skill, One Finger Splitting Earth

”Should I show you something?”

”Go for it.”

”In the store?”

”Fighting is not allowed in the store, or you’ll be banned from entry.”

Yang Xiao laughed and stepped out of the Genetic Store, with everyone following him.

It was still bitterly cold outside, and everyone shuddered, hugging their shoulders, except Yang Xiao who seemed not as affected by the cold, knowing it was the effect of genetic evolution.

The snow on the playground was at least 2 meters thick.

Yang Xiao closed his eyes slightly, concentrating and sensing his new skill ”One Finger Splitting Earth”.

After the new skill was activated, it automatically became a part of his mind, ready for use.

Everyone watched Yang Xiao in suspense.

Suddenly, Yang Xiao opened his eyes and shouted loudly, pointing fiercely toward the distant playground.

Boom!

A thunderous sound followed, and everyone immediately felt the ground shaking beneath their feet, like an earthquake, striking terror into their hearts.

Thirty meters away, a sharp, huge, black object suddenly jutted out from the snowy ground, reaching about twenty meters high, with the surrounding snow blasted into the sky by its immense impact.

Around this sharp black object, within a radius of more than ten meters, all snowflakes were tossed into the air, even revealing the cracked ground beneath.

Huang Wen and the others lost their composure in surprise, wondering what kind of divine skill this was?

People from the distant caves were scared by the strong vibrations and ran out,

”Oh no, it’s an earthquake, run!”

”F*ck, is the apocalypse happening again?”

”Don’t panic, everyone! The caves I designed can withstand an 8-magnitude earthquake.”

Ma Junhui shouted.

”F*ck, what if it’s a 9-magnitude earthquake?”

Everyone panicked, fearing being buried in the caves, and swarmed out.

When everyone ran out of the caves and saw the huge, sharp, black object standing in the snow on the playground, they were astonished, staring at Yang Xiao and the others near the Genetic Store with dumbfounded faces.

In the blink of an eye, the sharp black object disappeared, leaving a huge pit behind.

Everyone gasped again.

Was this Yang Xiao’s Beast Soul Skill, One Finger Splitting Earth?

It was very apt!

Yang Xiao himself was also excited; the power of One Finger Splitting Earth greatly exceeded his imagination. If it weren’t for the cultivation of the Light Shield Skill, which barely elevated his Genetic Attribute to the Primordial Gene Primary Stage, he wouldn’t have imagined possessing such an astonishing Beast Soul Skill.

However, it seemed that no one could discern Yang Xiao’s Beast Soul.

Even Gu Bo couldn’t make it out.

”It’s strange; your Beast Soul Skill is powerful enough, but I can’t see what your Beast Soul is.”

Yang Xiao said with a smile:

”It’s okay if you can’t see it for now, one day my Beast Soul will manifest.”

”I think that black object looked like a finger!”

Long Yongjun said.

Zhao Gang immediately retorted:

”A finger, what kind of monster has such a terrifying finger? If the finger is this huge, what would the whole monster look like?”

...

Everyone returned to the Genetic Store to continue with the next person’s genetic evolution.

The second to undergo genetic evolution was Xiao Zhe.

Xiao Zhe’s Beast Soul was Werewolf, and his current Genetic Attributes were:

Strength 8, Agility 8, Defense 7, Wisdom 3.

To everyone’s surprise, while they assumed Xiao Zhe would consume a lot of Genetic Potion to complete the Primary Stage evolution, he managed to finish it with just over 700 bottles.

As a Werewolf Beast Soul, he also activated a new Beast Soul Skill: Wolf Claw Critical Strike.

Xiao Zhe excitedly demonstrated his Beast Soul Skill for everyone; a massive wolf claw tore through the air, striking directly onto the snowy ground, instantly causing snowflakes to fly and leaving behind a huge wolf claw imprint on the ground, penetrating the 2 meters thick snow and revealing the cracked soil beneath.

Although not as terrifying as Yang Xiao’s One Finger Splitting Earth, the power was much greater than the close-range attacks with his mutated wolf claws previously.

Next was Zhao Gang, who used over 800 bottles of Genetic Potion to complete his evolution, gaining the Beast Soul Skill, Bear Fist Bombing.

Next up was Huang Wen, who spent over 1000 Genetic Potions to complete her evolution and gained the Soul Skill: Fiery Feather Arrow.

The Fiery Feather Arrow could turn the fired arrow into a flaming state, complete with a certain explosive special effect. With one shot, it blasted open a snowfield of about 3 meters in diameter.

”If you could fire a hundred Fiery Feather Arrows at once, wouldn’t that turn into a sea of fire?”

Chen Fei excitedly remarked.

With just under 5000 Genetic Potions, Yang Xiao, Xiao Zhe, Zhao Gang, and Huang Wen had already spent nearly four thousand, leaving only about a thousand, which was clearly not enough for the remaining six people to complete their evolution.

The next one to become fortunate was Chen Fei.

Chen Fei consumed over a thousand Genetic Potions and barely evolved to the Primordial Gene Primary Stage.

As an Elemental Mage, everyone was also looking forward to her newly acquired Elemental Skills.

Chen Fei’s former skill was Ice Ball, with explosive and freezing effects that slowed down opponents, suppressing them. The new skill she activated was ”Ice Cone.”

With a slight movement of her Divine Sense, Chen Fei gently waved her hands in front of her body, and an ice cone about half a meter long and approximately twenty centimeters in diameter, tapering sharply at the front, appeared in the air and swooshed forward.

The Ice Cone traveled about twenty meters before exploding with a bang, creating a white mist of ice in the air.

Compared with the others’ Soul Skills, everyone seemed to be unable to see the damage effect of the Ice Cone Skill, leaving Chen Fei a bit disappointed.

Yang Xiao smiled and said,

”Your Ice Cone is probably a single-target damage skill, different from the Ice Ball. Although the Ice Ball has an area damage effect, its lethality is very weak, mainly serving to assist in freezing opponents.

But the Ice Cone is different, it not only provides the freezing effect but also high lethality. Facing powerful opponents in one-on-one battles, the effect of the Ice Cone will become apparent.”

After listening, Chen Fei laughed happily.

Originally, it was thought that the over fifty thousand Genetic Fragments could enhance the genetic evolution of ten people, but in the end, only five people completed their evolution, which made Yang Xiao regretful.

Dai Yun, Long Yongjun, Feifei, Chen Lu, and Li Zhan, although feeling disappointed inside, were also happy for the powerful Soul Skills showed by Yang Xiao and the others. For the whole Kongming Academy, when facing powerful enemies, everyone had an additional strong protective force.

”I’m really sorry, I’ll make it up to you when I have the chance.”

Yang Xiao said apologetically to Feifei and the others.

Feifei giggled:

”Boss, look at you, if you improve, isn’t it just like all of us improved as well? What’s there to be sorry about?”

Long Yongjun immediately said:

”Boss, with you guys getting stronger, we feel safer.”

Everyone nodded in agreement.

Zhao Gang said:

”Brothers, as long as we can survive this winter, any Genetic Fragments we obtain later will be prioritized for your use, and we will hold off on evolving for the time being.”

Xiao Zhe, Huang Wen, Chen Fei all stated that they won’t utilize Genetic Fragment resources until everyone else had improved their genetic evolution level.

Yang Xiao laughed and said,

”Alright, let’s not be modest with each other. As long as we stay united, we will ultimately overcome all difficulties. In the future, when we encounter tough challenges and face powerful enemies, those with higher levels of genetic evolution must bravely stand on the front line to fight.”

”Right, boss is correct.”

Xiao Zhe echoed.

”Okay, now let’s learn the Light Shield Skill.”

Yang Xiao, Xiao Zhe, Zhao Gang, Huang Wen, and Chen Fei each purchased a Light Shield Skill Book.

The Skill Book was a golden page that, when held in one’s hand, triggered a prompt in the mind’s attribute skill system. After confirmation, the Skill Book transformed into a beam of light and entered the mind through the arm.

...

Yang Xiao exercised his Divine Sense, and a pale blue Light Shield appeared in front of him, about one meter high and half a meter wide.

”Boss, let me try your Light Shield.”

Long Yongjun came up and threw a punch, hitting the Light Shield.

The Light Shield buzzed, vibrating slightly, but remained intact.

Yang Xiao was pleasantly surprised; a direct punch from Long Yongjun would’ve either caused him to spit blood or break a bone.

”Try it with your Dog Blood Blade Technique.”

Yang Xiao suggested.

Long Yongjun immediately drew his Dog Blood Blade and chopped down with a roar.

Buzz!

The Light Shield shook violently, a white dent appeared on it, but it still didn’t crack.

(Two more updates tonight.)
