Super Gene Hunting Ground

Alas, alas, alas, what are you all doing? Who let you come over here and make such a racket?”

Yang Xiao looked at Xia Luo and the others crowding over and quickly shouted.

Zhao Gang said:

”Boss, since you’ve joined the Shenming Mountain Sect, naturally we also want to follow in your footsteps.”

”No way, men step back, all step back, I’m talking about you guys, Xia Luo, Xiao Zhe, Zhao Gang, Zhou Qiang...”

Yang Xiao pointed at the group of over-eager men.

Xiao Zhe was stunned and asked:

”Boss, why is that?”

”Well, it’s a long story, Lan Xin is in the South Garden of Shenming Mountain Sect, which only accepts female disciples, not males.”

”Are you a man or a woman then?” Xia Luo asked with a smile.

”My situation is quite special, I can’t explain it clearly at the moment; anyway, you guys step back... Huang Wen, you take Lan Xin back to rest.”

Huang Wen and the others now adored Lan Xin so much that they didn’t even care about the prospect of competing for a boyfriend; they directly surrounded Lan Xin and headed inside the building, back to their own rooms.

Lan Xin, being encircled by a bunch of girls, felt beyond her control; Yang Xiao’s action was really sudden, she hadn’t been informed beforehand, and it was truly a bit much for her.

Yang Xiao shouted to Lan Xin:

”Lan Xin, it’s entirely up to you whom to recruit to join the Shenming Mountain Sect and how many to recruit. Remember not to force yourself!”

Lan Xin thought, You’re pushing me into a corner, what’s the use of saying this after the fact?

Nevertheless, if the Shenming Mountain Sect could really gain so many high-quality disciples all at once, wouldn’t it be a good thing? Compared to hiding in the scarcely populated Divine Mountain, it was easier to bring glory to the Shenming Mountain Sect and carry on the tradition of Ancient Martial Cultivation here.

Mixed with excitement and conflict, Lan Xin and Huang Wen returned inside the building, their hearts ignited with the belief and hope of reviving the Shenming Mountain Sect.

Lan Xin suddenly realized that Yang Xiao was truly a person with magical Strength; overnight, he had brought a nearly extinct Shenming Mountain Sect back to life.

Her heart filled with more trust and indescribable complex feelings towards Yang Xiao.

...

Xiao Zhe and the others were upset; how could they miss such a great opportunity? If they practiced Ancient Martial Arts, all those miraculous powers like Sword Qi and flying through the air, which they had only ever seen in novels and movies, could actually become their reality.

”Boss, what do you mean by this?”

”Boss, you’ve really gone too far this time, it’s unfair!”

”Huang Wen and the others can, why can’t we?”

...

Yang Xiao took a glance at the crowd and said with a smile:

”What’s the rush? I guarantee each of you will be able to cultivate Ancient Martial Arts, but Lan Xin’s Shenming Mountain Sect is really not suitable for you all. Haven’t you noticed Lan Xin and her group are all girls? Her sword moves are elegant and nimble, but not fierce enough, not suitable for you, more suitable for girls like Huang Wen.”

”So what Martial Arts suit us?”

”The Shaolin Seventy-two Skills are renowned for their power, and they emphasize strength, naturally more fitting for us men to Cultivate.”

”Huh?”

The crowd looked at Yang Xiao,

”We all have to become monks? That won’t do, I’m not married yet and haven’t even tasted the sweetness of love.”

”Look at you guys, lacking ambition. Who said you have to become a monk to practice Shaolin Ancient Martial Arts? Don’t worry, in a few days, I will go to the Shaolin Temple and invite their Sect Leader over to teach you the Shaolin Skill. As long as you’re willing to Cultivate, anyone can do it.”

”Really?”

”Boss, then you better get going right now, like now, I’ll pack your luggage for you.”

Yang Xiao: ”.....”

Dammit, I just got back today; shouldn’t I rest for a few days?

...

That very night, Yang Xiao and Xia Luo, among others, took a closer look at the city reconstruction. They delegated specific tasks, with the first phase focusing on establishing water, electricity, and roads, summarily referred to as the ”Three Connections.”

Everyone was filled with hope for the future rebuild of the city, as it was closely linked to the improvement of each person’s living environment.

The next morning, Yang Xiao and Gong Yu set off on Flame Horses and Giant Eagles, heading to Magic City.

Each time he visited Magic City, Yang Xiao couldn’t help but take a glance at the nearby Financial Building.

He truly missed that enigmatic number 25 woman, Jingjing.

What exactly was Jingjing’s identity? Where was she now? Did she have feelings for Yang Xiao or not?

These questions lingered in Yang Xiao’s heart like a mysterious riddle.

And that night of ecstasy was engraved in his memory, something he could never forget, as it was after all the loss of his virginity!

Upon stepping out of the Transmission Array, Yang Xiao and Gong Yu glanced towards the distant Financial Square and unexpectedly noticed that the main entrance was open. There were four Iron Tower Warriors at the door, but no one was seen entering or exiting.

Considering his past experiences of being rebuffed at the door, Yang Xiao decided not to attempt another entry and instead pretended to rest nearby, chatting with Gong Yu while surreptitiously observing, to see if any girls would appear.

The Transmission Array in Magic City was bustling, especially since it now connected to over a hundred cities in the Xuanming District, with even more frequent travelers.

Although Gong Yu did not know what Yang Xiao was waiting for, he knew there must be something, and without asking for specifics, he casually kept Yang Xiao company.

After about half an hour of small talk, a bright light shone from the Transmission Array, and five people in black cloaks emerged.

These five cloaked figures headed straight for the nearby Financial Building. From their formation, one person who was leading was followed by four others; it looked like a master and servants setup.

The cloaked figures approached the entrance where the leading figure presented a medallion to the Iron Tower Warriors at the gate. A flash of light validated the medallion, and they were waved through.

After the five cloaked people entered the building, the Iron Tower Guards closed the door and remained standing at the entrance as if they were statues.

Yang Xiao paused, surmising from the situation that these cloaked people must also be from the Xuanming District, perhaps?

Yang Xiao was completely in the dark about their identities. After pondering for a moment without any clues, he left with Gong Yu, one on horseback and the other on eagle, flying towards the Dongli College in Magic City.

...

At this moment, on the 88th floor of the Financial Building, in a spacious office, the Fourth Prince stood in the center of the hall, practicing the Genetic Transformation Technique. With every breath, a faint golden light radiated from the skin not covered by his clothing.

Around the hall stood dozens of people, including Master Long, silent and not daring to speak.

In addition to this, there were four beautiful women in the hall and four Iron Tower Warriors at the entrance.

The elevator stopped at the 88th floor, and the five cloaked people came out – the same individuals Yang Xiao had just seen downstairs.

The leader presented the medallion again to verify their identities, and they were then allowed in by the Iron Tower Guard.

These five were from Wentian City, and the leader was named Long Wei, a representative of the Fourth Prince stationed in Wentian City.

Long Wei entered the hall, and from a distance, he saw the Fourth Prince cultivating; he dared not make a sound and quietly approached Master Long, with the two nodding to each other.

The Fourth Prince let out a long sigh, slowly ending his practice without turning around, and asked in a deep voice:

”Is it Long Wei who has come?”

Immediately stepping forward, Long Wei said:

”Reporting to the Fourth Prince, your subordinate Long Wei is here to report.”

”Hmm.”

The Fourth Prince turned around, his body’s skin shimmering with a faint golden glow, which gradually faded after a short moment.

Long Wei promptly said:

”Congratulations to the Fourth Prince for entering the Marrow Cleansing stage of the Genetic Transformation Technique.”

”Haha, what’s there to congratulate? I’ve only just entered the Marrow Cleansing stage. Who knows when I will complete it—only heaven knows!”

(Four updates complete. It’s so cold, my fingers are stiff, and I can’t keep going. Time to sleep, dear readers, stay warm.)
