Super Gene Hunting Ground

Early the next morning, Yang Xiao and Lan Xin bid farewell, while Gong Yu, Xia Luo, and others saw them off at the Transmission Array.

After yesterday’s engagement, the relationship between Lan Xin, Huang Wen, Qin Yu, and Deng Xiao with Yang Xiao had clearly changed; there was no longer anything to hide.

The four women embraced Yang Xiao to bid farewell.

Yang Xiao then pulled Lan Xin aside and whispered in caution:

”Take Long Xiang and cultivate at Wuji Mountain, and make sure Long Xiang doesn’t show herself carelessly.”

Lan Xin nodded.

Finally, Yang Xiao entered the Transmission Array, activated the temporary channel to Wentian City, a beam of light flashed, and he disappeared.

Gong Yu and the others also said their goodbyes and returned to their respective stations.

...

Upon arriving at Wentian City through the Transmission Array, Yang Xiao was immediately led by a woman into the nearby Wentian City International Hotel.

Inside the hotel, Yang Xiao met Gu Beifeng, Du Tianxing, Zhao Benling, and others who had arrived yesterday and were chatting and flaunting in the conference room of the corridor.

Seeing Yang Xiao come over, Gu Beifeng and others were stunned.

Nobody knew the content of this meeting, but so far, all the attendees were King Level Evolvers, so everyone was a bit puzzled upon seeing Yang Xiao.

”Ah, Brother Yang is here?”

Zhao Benling, who was sworn brothers with Yang Xiao, immediately came up and spoke enthusiastically.

In fact, Zhao Benling wasn’t aware that Yang Xiao was attending this meeting; Yang Xiao, upon receiving the notice, had immediately returned to Kongming City and had not informed Zhao Benling.

Zhao Benling originally thought that Yang Xiao wasn’t on the meeting’s invitee list, so naturally, he was also a bit surprised upon seeing him.

Du Tianxing and Gu Beifeng glanced at Yang Xiao; Du Tianxing nodded slightly, while Gu Beifeng had a grim face – after all, Yang Xiao had taken his territory in Wuji Mountain.

Before Yang Xiao’s arrival, Gu Beifeng had been complaining to Du Tianxing and Zhao Benling about this matter, quite indignant and airing quite a bit of dissatisfaction towards Yang Xiao.

Yang Xiao nodded to everyone and asked:

”Is everyone here? How many people have arrived?”

”Including you, 22 people, 21 King Level Evolvers.”

Zhao Benling replied.

Yang Xiao was startled, realizing that all the attendees were King Level Evolvers except himself, wondering what this gathering truly meant.

Du Tianxing and others were also guessing the purposes of this gathering.

”God knows, Lord Long Wei always acts mysteriously, and he won’t tell us the purpose until the last moment.”

”It probably has something to do with training?”

”Let’s not guess anymore; we’ll find out this afternoon.”

...

After lunch, Yang Xiao and the others were summoned to a meeting in the grand hall on the 6th floor. The hosts were still Long Wei and Long Yu, and there were several black-clad Samurai and a few Iron Tower Warriors present.

Long Wei cleared his throat and announced:

”Congratulations to all of you; you have been selected as the first batch of personnel for special training.”

Upon hearing ”special training,” everyone immediately broke into smiles.

”I knew it had to be training!”

”This time, it seems we might learn new Evolution Abilities.”

...

Long Wei continued:

”All of you are already King Level Evolvers, and you should be well aware that it’s been quite hard to evolve further after reaching King Level. On one hand, your own genetic bottlenecks need to be broken through, and on the other, Earth’s limited evolution resources can’t meet your needs to advance further. Therefore, we’ve decided to take you to a special training base to achieve breakthroughs in Genetic Evolution.”

Upon hearing this, Gu Beifeng and others felt a surge of excitement within. They had all encountered bottlenecks after breaking through to King Level and had been feeling depressed internally.

During their last training in Magic City, they had practiced the Genetic Transformation Technique, but the experience had not been profound; only Gu Beifeng and Du Tianxing had broken through to King Level at that time.

Now with over twenty King Level Evolvers, everyone felt the bottlenecks after reaching King Level and were eager to find new methods to accelerate evolution.

Many pinned their hopes on the Genetic Transformation Technique, but it involved four stages: Body Refinement, Bone Forging, Yijin, and Marrow Cleansing, of which they had only learned the Body Refinement stage. The latter three stages had not been taught.

They had been eagerly awaiting Master Long to teach the remaining stages of the transformation technique, but Long Yu had not imparted them, leaving everyone anxious.

Now, hearing Long Wei’s words about going to a special training base to accelerate breaking through the King Level evolution bottleneck meant they would practice the full set of the Genetic Transformation Technique.

How could they not be excited?

Gu Beifeng immediately said joyfully:

”Lord Long Wei, we have been waiting for this day.”

The others echoed:

”Yes, we’ve been longing for this.”

”Now we can finally breakthrough our bottlenecks.”

Some even flattered:

”Thank you, Lord Long Wei, for this blessing.”

...

Long Wei smiled faintly and said:

”This time, the special training includes over 500 participants from all over Earth. I will personally lead you through the Transmission Array to Tianzhou,”

Tianzhou?

Everyone was stunned.

”Yes, Tianzhou, over 500 King Level Evolvers from all over the planet will gather there, and then, you’ll go to a mysterious training base for the training, which might last about a year.”

A year or so?

Everyone was stunned again.

The training base was distant, and the training length was unexpected.

Long Yu then smiled and remarked:

”To endure hardships is to surpass the ordinary; once you complete this training session, you’ll be able to break through the King Level evolution bottleneck. Those with good aptitudes can evolve to Emperor Level.”

Emperor Level?!

Everyone got excited once more. Evolving from King Level to Emperor Level would naturally grant much greater Divine Skills.

Everyone had been ordinary people before the apocalypse, and after, they became genetic evolution ability users. Each harbored a superhuman dream, even desiring to control life and death, conquer the world, or alter nature.

Now, Long Yu was telling them they might break through to Emperor Level, and everyone immediately felt their blood boiling.

Yang Xiao thought back to what Gu Bo had mentioned about arranging his affairs beforehand; it seemed Gu Bo had already known that the training would be lengthy and far away, hence the heads-up.

Yang Xiao felt fortunate that he had set up a management mechanism for his territories beforehand; even if he couldn’t return for a year, he figured things would not get too disorderly, trusting people like Gong Yu to handle it.

Long Wei then gave some precautions and led everyone out of the hotel to the inner courtyard.

Originally, the Wentian City International Hotel courtyard was a small garden, but it had been leveled, and at the center lay a Transmission Array, ten times larger than the Outer Gate’s.
