Super Gene Hunting Ground

Chapter 253: Chapter 253: The Iron Tower Warrior’s Sword (Four updates, please subscribe)

Zuo Feiyang is a top talent from Yunhai Academy with Enhanced Gene Intermediate level, and one of the two leaders heading this desert training expedition, the other being Ding Gao.

Zuo Feiyang looked at Yang Xiao, and an imposing aura began to emanate from him.

Yang Xiao, seemingly unaffected, calmly said:

”Do I have an obligation to tell you?”

Zuo Feiyang was taken aback, almost choked by his own saliva, staring at Yang Xiao as if he were looking at a fool.

”If you want to know the whereabouts of your teammates, you should be polite to me. You are the one asking for my help, understand? You’re a student of Yunhai Academy, haven’t you retained basic manners in this apocalyptic world? Don’t you even understand the most basic courtesy?”

Yang Xiao fired several rhetorical questions one after the other, leaving Zuo Feiyang speechless.

Fuming inside, Zuo Feiyang was almost bursting with rage when he suddenly shouted:

”Brat, who do you think you are? So ignorant of your place? I was trying to be respectful to you to get a proper answer, but here you are, acting all arrogant in front of me. Fine, since you like to act tough, let me see if you really have what it takes.”

In this post-apocalyptic era, everyone’s temperament has changed. Now, everything depends on a person’s Genetic Evolution Ability, and society seems to have regressed overnight from a civilized to a primitive state.

Although everyone outwardly still maintains some basic moral standards, most people deep down have begun to view reverence for Genetic Evolution Ability as the basic criterion for handling interpersonal relationships.

This is similar to how society before the apocalypse revered money; whoever had the most money was the boss and earned everyone’s respect.

Now, whoever has a higher Evolution Level or a stronger Beast Soul commands respect.

In a fit of rage, Zuo Feiyang formed a hand gesture, and a basketball-sized, blazing Fireball appeared mid-air.

He is a Fire Element Mage.

The bystanders immediately retreated tens of meters.

Luo Manli suddenly whispered:

”Boss, this is a protected area of the Genetic Store, fighting is prohibited.”

Upon hearing this, Zuo Feiyang, frustrated and furious, said:

”I don’t care whether it’s a restricted area or not today, I’ll fight first and talk later. Worse comes to worst, I just won’t come back to this Genetic Store base.”

Yang Xiao sneered and said:

”Is that so? Try it, and don’t say I didn’t warn you. Just beware that you might end up searching the ground for your teeth by the two Samurai guarding the entrance of the Genetic Store.”

Zuo Feiyang, feeling trapped and agitated in front of everyone, suddenly made up his mind, gritted his teeth, and bellowed:

”I’m making an exception today!”

With a push of his hands, the enormous Fireball suddenly expanded several times in size and roared towards Yang Xiao, noticeably raising the temperature of the air even tens of meters away.

Yang Xiao instantly activated his Light Shield and dodged to the side.

Suddenly, space in front of Yang Xiao distorted, a flash of light appeared, and an Iron Tower Warrior emerged from thin air, stepping through space, his broadsword flashing coldly as it slashed directly at Zuo Feiyang.

The Iron Tower Warrior’s strike carried an unstoppable, terrifying force, and the Killing Aura permeated, felt even by those tens of meters away.

Zuo Feiyang was shocked and hurriedly stimulated the Light Shield, guarding it in front of him.

Then suddenly, there was a cracking sound,

The Light Shield shattered instantly, and the broadsword of the Iron Tower Warrior, carrying a fierce Sword Qi, cleaved Zuo Feiyang in half.

The crowd around was horrified, daring not to breathe, staring blankly at the scene.

The Iron Tower Warrior, expressionless, didn’t even glance at the fallen body of Zuo Feiyang. He sheathed his broadsword back at his waist and said in a deep voice:

”Rule breakers, die!”

After speaking, he walked towards the Genetic Store with a steady pace, and everyone listened to his heavy footsteps on the sand, feeling incredibly somber.

After a long while, everyone took a deep breath.

Luo Manli and others widened their eyes in horror, wanting to scream but not daring to, wanting to cry but unable to, their bodies trembling.

Yang Xiao was also extremely shocked; this was his first time seeing the Iron Tower Warrior at the Genetic Store in action. Although he always speculated that the Iron Tower Warrior had high Cultivation, he never thought it would be so formidable. Just that speed alone was incomparable by ordinary people; it seemed he had a strange movement technique that could directly traverse space, arriving instantly in front of his opponent.

This was truly terrifying.

Today, when Yang Xiao was returning to Nanmu City, he had completed the breakthrough of the Enhanced Gene Primary Level evolution, and possessed a new Soul Skill: Black Hole Swallowing.

With his evolution to the Enhanced Gene Primary Level, the power of all his Skill Cultivation Methods and Soul Skills had significantly increased, which was why Yang Xiao displayed a mesmerizing kind of confidence, stemming from the boost in his Genetic Evolution Ability.

That was also the reason why Yang Xiao was no longer afraid of Zuo Feiyang; even though Zuo Feiyang was at the Intermediate Level of Enhanced Genes, which is a level higher, his Soul Skill was exceptionally powerful and could completely bridge the gap.

Just a second ago, Yang Xiao had that mesmerizing confidence, but upon witnessing the Iron Tower Warrior’s move, that confidence instantly collapsed.

Yang Xiao felt a deep sense of powerlessness.

The spectating crowd was also shocked by this terrifying power; in the past, everyone had only heard about the rules of the Genetic Store, and deep down some harbored thoughts of challenging it, but eventually gave up due to various reasons.

Because no one had ever seen the Iron Tower Warrior in action, they had only a symbolic respect for the two guards at the door, without much real fear.

This time, the strike of the Iron Tower Warrior plunged everyone into a deep abyss of fear.

The onlookers bowed their heads, silent and wordless, dispersing on their own, leaving only Yang Xiao’s group and Luo Manli and others from Yunhai Academy.

Yang Xiao sighed and said:

”See, it’s better to talk things out nicely, right? You insisted on bullying others and even wanted to challenge the rules of the Genetic Store, and now look what happened? You can’t blame me for this!”

Luo Manli looked at Yang Xiao, her beautiful eyes seeming to spit flames; she had long admired Zuo Feiyang, and their relationship was in an ambiguous phase, yet she never expected it to end in this desert, ruined by the seemingly insignificant Yang Xiao in front of her.

”Haha, not blaming you, blaming ourselves, right?”

Luo Manli said bitterly.

”Yes, you finally seem to understand the truth, realizing the fault lies with yourselves. It would be better to find reasons within yourselves earlier, remember there’s always someone above, and don’t be so aggressive when outside...”

”Enough, don’t think that just because the Iron Tower Warrior of the Genetic Store helped you today, you can be arrogant. Remember, this debt, I, Luo Manli, will eventually settle with you.”

Her last sentence, Luo Manli nearly gritted her teeth word by word. After speaking, looking at the body of Zuo Feiyang on the ground, she kneeled in the sand, her tears uncontrollably flowing down.
