Super Gene Hunting Ground

Xia Luo was alarmed and said:

”If that’s really the case, aren’t we in danger now?”

Yang Xiao nodded and said:

”The power of ancient martial arts can help you dominate below King Level. Once your opponent is above King Level, and if we haven’t reached King Level ourselves, ordinary cultivation skills are useless, even my Soul Skill will hardly shake the opponent.

I once encountered two King Level mutant monsters in the desert. My Soul Skill was absolutely no match for them.”

At this point, Yang Xiao actually missed Black Jinkang and that lion. It was a pity that the transmission arrays were now closed, and he couldn’t go to Tianzhou. If he had taken Black Jinkang and the lion earlier, they wouldn’t be in such a passive situation now.

Yang Xiao wasn’t worried about himself; he could roam freely anywhere by himself, but what about the large group of brothers and sisters under him? He had taken the trouble to coax Lan Xin and Monk Ben Yin to Nanmu City, so how could he let them experience another setback?

Work at Shenming Mountain Sect and Shaolin Temple had just begun. To achieve certain results, it would take at least half a year. With three years of stable development, Shenming Mountain Sect and Shaolin Temple could bloom beautiful flowers in Nanmu City and shock the world.

The greater a person’s ability, the greater their ambition. Both Gu Beifeng and Du Tianxing harbored ambitions to unify Xuanming Country and dominate the world. In the beginning of the apocalyptic era, many things were unclear, and everyone was protecting themselves while focusing on their own development, quietly observing the changes in the world.

Now that the situation was generally clear and problems with resource allocation had arisen, these big shots had no choice but to fight for them.

It’s the end times, a total restart. Everyone is a superhero with powerful abilities. Without a battle to the death, no one will submit to another.

One day, Yang Xiao would have to stand against Du Tianxing, Gu Beifeng, and others.

Yang Xiao was silent for a moment and then said:

”Firstly, try to save up Genetic Fragments in Nanmu City and Shanyun City daily. Our current policy is that seventy percent of the personally hunted Genetic Fragments are kept by the individual, with thirty percent turned in. Let’s adjust the ratio, with fifty percent being turned in.

Explain clearly to everyone that Xie Jun from the stock market is going to attack our Nanmu City and Shanyun City soon. We must concentrate our efforts to enhance some people’s Genetic Evolution Level. Otherwise, if Xie Jun occupies us, everyone will suffer. I believe everyone will agree on this point.”

Xiao Zhe said:

”Boss, in extraordinary times, we must take extraordinary measures. We should collect more than seventy percent. I believe everyone will support you.”

”Yes, you’ve never used the public resources and have given them all to us. Now it’s right for you to use some. If anyone dares to disobey, I will kick him out immediately.”

Xia Luo said.

Yang Xiao waved his hand and said:

”We currently have about forty million. Continuing to collect fifty percent, I estimate we could collect about twenty million in a month or two, totaling fifty to sixty million, which should be enough.

There’s another thing, you two go take care of it separately—bring back all the hunted monsters’ corpses. Keep the daily ones for food, and the rest, pile them up in a few fixed places.”

Yang Xiao thought for a bit and then mentioned several Genetic Store strongholds, Nanshui Town, Star Moon Town, Golden Sand Town, and Xingsha Town.

These towns were all in the outskirts of Nanmu City, and people often went there to hunt Mutated Creatures.

In addition, there were also several Genetic Store strongholds in Shanyun City.

Yang Xiao thought that although the levels of these Mutated Creatures were relatively low, their numbers were substantial. Using the Black Bottle to refine the bodies of these Mutated Creatures daily could also replenish some Evolution Energy.

If all the corpses of the monsters were accumulated together, the enormous quantity would eventually arouse suspicion. He planned to visit each stronghold daily and use the time in the middle of the night to deal with the monster corpses. After all, everyone knew that Yang Xiao had a strange ability to use the corpses of monsters to enhance Genetic Evolution.

Gong Yu also had this ability. Nowadays, Gong Yu occasionally ate some higher-level mutant monster corpses to supplement Evolution Energy.

For Gong Yu, the effects of replenishing his body with the flesh and blood of lower-level monsters were extremely limited at the Enhanced Gene Intermediate cultivation level. It was barely better than nothing, so he wasn’t keen on consuming monster flesh and blood now.

Originally, Yang Xiao had planned for Gong Yu to enter the desert area to improve himself, but unexpectedly, the resource points in the desert suddenly closed, so Gong Yu’s genetic evolution process also came to a temporary halt.

Over the following month, Yang Xiao continued to practice Shaolin Ancient Martial Arts day and night. The Dragon Subduing and Elephant Taming Internal Power had grown even more powerful. When activated now, one could vaguely see the illusory image of a dragon, although it was still not condensed enough.

This phenomenon greatly surprised Monk Ben Yin.

Monk Ben Yin had practiced the Dragon Subduing and Elephant Taming Divine Skill for about ten years. Even though he had evolved to the Enhanced Gene Primary Level, his inner strength grew stronger, but he could not evolve the shadows of dragons and elephants.

During this time, Yang Xiao didn’t stop practicing the internal strength, Qinggong, and swordsmanship of the Shenming Mountain Sect. He made it a point to visit the nearby Shenming Mountain Sect every day to practice swordsmanship with Lan Xin.

One day, Yang Xiao was perusing various scriptures in the Scripture Pavilion again. Because when they moved initially, too many scriptures couldn’t be sorted in time, most of them were simply piled together haphazardly.

Monk Ben Yin only took out the most important Shaolin Seventy-two Skills for everyone to practice, without paying much attention to the rest of the books.

Yang Xiao casually flipped through a book and his eyes lit up,

”The Yijin Scripture?”

This name sounded very familiar. It wasn’t a Shaolin Skill, just a common Breathing Technique, but Yang Xiao remembered that in all martial arts novels, this Yijin Scripture was listed as Shaolin’s top-secret internal strength.

In the real Shaolin Martial Arts, the Yijin Scripture is just a basic Breathing Technique.

Yang Xiao took a look, and there were twelve diagrams of breathing exercises, each accompanied by its corresponding mental method.

Driven by strong curiosity, Yang Xiao started practicing according to the description in the Yijin Scripture. He inhaled deeply into his body and with a thought, he felt his Dantian slightly quiver. A faint current began to circulate within his body following the mental method.

Yang Xiao was startled; this feeling was so familiar.

After going through it once, his body didn’t show any abnormalities. Instead, he felt refreshingly clear-headed, so he continued to practice.

He got hooked on practicing; after two hours, he went straight from the first to the twelfth diagram. After the practice, he felt an extraordinary sense of clarity.

”How strange, the effects of practicing the Yijin Scripture feel almost the same as the effects of practicing the Genetic Transformation Technique. I haven’t even taken any Genetic Transformation Potion yet?”

Practicing the Genetic Transformation Technique usually requires taking a Genetic Transformation Potion, using the electric sensation from the potion to temper the skin and flesh throughout the body. Yet, this Yijin Scripture required no Genetic Transformation Potion and still produced a sensation of electric currents.

Moreover, Yang Xiao found that the longer he practiced, the stronger the electric currents became.

”How odd, could this Yijin Scripture’s practice method be similar to the Genetic Transformation Technique?”

Yang Xiao then recalled what Master Long had once said, that the Genetic Transformation Technique has four stages: Body Refinement, Bone Forging, Yijin, and Marrow Cleansing. Could this Yijin Scripture leap directly to the third stage?

Well, never mind, if there are benefits to be had, then just keep practicing and see.

From then on, Yang Xiao added one more practice to his routine: the Yijin Scripture.

Every evening, Yang Xiao would go to several gene points on the outskirts of Nanmu City and Shanyun City, where hundreds or even thousands of corpses of various Mutated Monsters were piled in the wild.

Yang Xiao took out a Black Bottle, sucked all the monster corpses into the bottle, refining them into liquid, and then hurried to the next Genetic Store location.

After a month, each of Yang Xiao’s Four Attributes increased by 2 points.
