Super Gene Hunting Ground

Yang Xiao put all his effort into this sword strike, originally just to gauge the gap between himself and the people at the Genetic Store, but he didn’t expect that the strength displayed by this sword would surprise even himself, as it actually managed to breach Gu Bo’s assistant’s Defense Light Screen.

”If I had used the Bronze Divine Sword with all my might, what effect would it have?”

This thought flashed through Yang Xiao’s mind.

Yang Xiao suddenly realized that he had always held Gu Bo and others in awe, but now, a sense of confidence was unconsciously burgeoning in his heart, although he knew that the path against alien civilizations was still long, he at least saw hope.

Yang Xiao laughed at Gu Bo and said:

”You flatter me. I merely took advantage of opportunities. How could I really be a match for your assistant in terms of true strength?”

Gu Bo smiled slightly and said:

”Prepare well, in a few days we are going to the conference at Wentian City.”

Yang Xiao nodded, thanked him for the reminder, and walked into the Transmission Array with Gong Yu, heading straight to Shaolin Temple at Xianan University.

Nowadays, Yang Xiao generally did not stay near the building close to Gu Bo’s Genetic Store; it was too close to Gu Bo. He always suspected that, with Gu Bo’s alien civilization superpowers, his every move could be monitored, so staying at Shaolin Temple in Xianan University was relatively safer.

Of course, there was also a Genetic Store at the sports field of Xianan University, and the library of Shaolin Temple where Yang Xiao was located was surrounded by the light of the Genetic Store. Usually, aside from cultivation, Yang Xiao would never discuss the matter of alien civilization invasion with people like Monk Ben Yin.

Gong Yu entered Shaolin Temple with Yang Xiao and met Monk Ben Yin, excitedly describing how Yang Xiao had broken through Gu Bo’s assistant’s Defense Light Screen with one sword.

Hearing this, Monk Ben Yin showed a surprised expression.

”Really? Yang Xiao, you’re quite capable—I’ve never seen anyone defeat a person from the Genetic Store before.”

Yang Xiao made a gesture to Monk Ben Yin and Gong Yu, smiling:

”I don’t have that kind of ability. It was just that Gu Bo’s assistant underestimated me and only used half of his power, which caught him off guard. I’m clear about my own capabilities.”

While speaking, Yang Xiao dipped his finger in the tea and wrote four words on the table, ”The walls have ears.”

Monk Ben Yin and Gong Yu nodded, understanding.

Gong Yu and Yang Xiao chatted briefly about the situation in Xiangfan, then consulted Monk Ben Yin about some Shaolin Ancient Martial Arts Cultivation issues, and after having dinner with Yang Xiao, returned to Xiangfan.

...

Inside the Genetic Store, Gu Bo’s expression was somewhat grim, and the assistant nervously bowed his head and stood aside.

”I’m sorry, master, I’ve embarrassed you!”

Gu Bo glanced at his assistant and said sternly:

”You’ve not embarrassed me, but rather the dignity of our planet. If humans realize they have the strength to counter us, it would be an endless future trouble. Just how much strength did you really use?”

”Uh, around 60 to 70 percent.”

”60 to 70 percent, which means even if you had used a hundred percent of your power, you might not necessarily be able to block Yang Xiao’s attack.”

The assistant was startled and stubbornly said:

”Isn’t that impossible? He’s not King Level yet. Even if he was King Level, he might not necessarily be able to defeat me.”

”Heh, you underestimate Yang Xiao. This boy has been extraordinary from the beginning, whether it’s his Beast Soul, Soul Skill, or later Ancient Martial Cultivation, each aspect reveals strangeness that I can hardly understand. Moreover, how did he manage to rapidly increase his Genetic Evolution?

Here I only have parts of his records. When he broke through the Advanced Primordial Gene, Enhanced Gene Primary Level, Intermediate, I have no records here, and don’t know how this boy managed to gather resources and achieve evolution.”

”Master, didn’t Yang Xiao enter the desert for a few months of ordeal?”

”Yes, it was those few months when this boy made great leaps. Maybe he had some fortuitous encounters in the desert?”

”We can contact the Genetic Store in Tianzhou to inquire about the situation. They should know.”

”I had asked before, and reportedly Yang Xiao had hunted quite a few Mutated Creatures during that period and exchanged them for a substantial amount of Crystal Coins at the Genetic Store. However, based on the numbers, it seems there’s still a considerable shortfall.”

”Couldn’t he also directly accumulate Evolution Energy by consuming the flesh and blood of the Mutated Creatures?”

”What puzzles me the most is this point: in Magic City, Wentian City, and other places, some Genetic Evolution Pills were distributed initially to alter human evolutionary physiques, allowing some people to elevate their Evolution by directly consuming the flesh and blood of Mutated Creatures. However, I didn’t provide Yang Xiao with such Genetic Evolution Pills. So how did he acquire this ability?”

”Should we report this to the Fourth Prince?”

”I’ve already reported it last time; the Fourth Prince didn’t seem to care much. After all, Yang Xiao has not yet broken through to King Level, and his performance isn’t particularly outstanding. From now on, you need to increase surveillance on Yang Xiao and follow him more frequently when it’s convenient. He will be going to Wentian City to attend the conference in a few days; you should go too. But be careful; don’t let him realize you’re surveilling him.”

”Yes, Master.”

Gu Bo glanced again at his assistant and said indifferently:

”Did you get injured just now?”

Yang Xiao had just used the Golden Bee Sword Skill, combined with the Dragon Subduing and Elephant Taming Divine Skill. Ten bursts of Sword Qi suddenly surged, unexpectedly for the assistant. When the assistant used the Instantaneous Body Technique to retreat hastily, the inside of his left arm got slightly cut by the Sword Qi. Although the wound was tiny, it still bled a bit, staining the sleeve of his silver-gray clothing red.

The assistant didn’t want his master to see his embarrassed state, so he had been covering his wound, holding his left arm behind his back.

Seeing that his master had noticed his injury, the assistant awkwardly moved his left hand from behind to the front of his body and bowed his head, saying:

”It’s just a minor superficial wound.”

”Any injury is still an injury. Be more careful next time, and do not underestimate your opponent.”

”Yes, Master!”

...

Wentian City International Hotel.

As the person in charge of Wentian City, Long Wei, is currently convening a meeting. Besides the dozen or so men in black from Wentian City, attendees also included Long Yu from Magic City.

The Fourth Prince had gone to inspect Yunpan Country, and Long Wei was appointed as the person in charge of Xuanming District, managing the entire district together with Long Yu.

”Everyone, as per the instructions of the Fourth Prince, in a few days, we will convene a meeting in Wentian City for the King Level Evolvers of Xuanming District to gather. We will select three individuals from them to participate in the contest of King Level Evolvers of the entire Wuji District. This is to observe the genetic evolutionary superiority and inferiority among the different races of the Wuji District. This meeting will be managed by both me and Long Yu. Everyone present should fully coordinate this task efficiently without any issues.”

”Yes!”

Over twenty men in black responded in unison.

”After the cold winter passed, the human race of Xuanming District started a great war for resources, transitioning from scattered hundreds to thousands of city strongholds into today’s forty major regions. Those powerful individuals gained an advantage in the war, seizing more territories and evolutionary resources, thereby further enhancing their own genetic evolution levels. Looking back, it appears the Fourth Prince was very correct in suspending the winter measures earlier.”

”Lord Long Wei, now that Xuanming District has over twenty King Level Evolvers, and with more appearing around Earth, the human genetic evolution power is becoming increasingly strong—could they pose a threat to us?”

A black-clad figure stood up and asked.

Long Wei smiled slightly and said:

”Humanity is not a threat to us yet. Even King Level Evolvers are no match for our regular Iron Tower Warriors. However,”

Long Wei trailed off, glancing at Long Yu beside him.

Long Yu then said:

”The human genetic evolution process is largely under our control, but it seems that there are slowly starting to appear some mutations. For example, Evolvers from Ice Wolf Island combining Ninjutsu and Samurai Way have become stronger, those from Xuanming Country combining Ancient Martial Cultivation, Evolvers from Eternal Life Empire combining Muay Thai, and those from Yunpan Country combining Yunpan Country’s Divine Skills, etc. These mutations have exceeded our expectations. That is also one of the reasons we are holding this meeting for King Level Evolvers,

You need not worry about humans posing a threat to us. After the conference of King Level Evolvers of the fifth-level region is held, we will send all these King Level Evolvers to our planet. There, they will enter a new battlefield.”

While saying this, Long Yu’s face revealed a sinister smile.

The others, upon hearing this, also smiled knowingly.

Humans, no matter how powerful, are merely their prey to be farmed!
