Super Gene Hunting Ground

The purple longsword in Qin Xiaotian’s hand is a one-star Divine Weapon that can instantly kill King Level Realm Genetic Evolvers, and Yang Xiao happens to be a King Level Evolver.

Adding to that, Qin Xiaotian’s own Genetic Evolution Level has already reached the Empire Level Primary Peak, not far from Empire Middle Level,

so, this thrust came with an extraordinary power.

When the longsword was unleashed, the void was split in two, emitting an ear-piercing buzzing sound and a surging killing aura.

Qin Xiaotian, fueled by the fury of avenging his brother, thrust out a sword.

Yang Xiao’s pupils slightly contracted, and he gripped the sword hilt with his right hand.

From afar, Xiao Ling shouted loudly:

”Yang Xiao, be careful of his sword, it’s a Divine Weapon.”

Yang Xiao was about to draw his sword when he heard a ”buzz,”

a massive Defense Light Screen appeared about three meters in front of Yang Xiao.

Qin Xiaotian’s sword stabbed right into that Defense Light Screen.

”Buzz!”

The Defense Light Screen trembled slightly,

and Qin Xiaotian felt a huge backlash force from his sword hand, causing him to involuntarily step back.

The two companions behind him were equally stunned, drawing their longswords together.

The killing aura spread throughout the library, causing the surrounding wooden tables to shatter.

Yang Xiao stood unmoving.

Xiao Ling had already rushed to Yang Xiao’s side, looking at the Defense Light Screen before him in surprise.

A Defense Light Screen capable of blocking Qin Xiaotian’s attack must have been unleashed by a strong individual of at least Empire Level Middle.

The crowd looked around but didn’t see anyone appear.

Yang Xiao was momentarily stunned and turned to ask Xiao Ling,

”Isn’t it you who activated this Defense Light Screen?”

”I don’t have that ability.”

Qin Xiaotian was also full of doubt, looking around.

Suddenly, thirty meters behind Qin Xiaotian and the others, a bright light ignited, an old man stood under the light, sighed, and said:

”It’s so late, why aren’t you going back to sleep? Don’t you know staying up late harms your health?”

The crowd looked dumbfounded at the old man.

Yang Xiao did not recognize him, but Xiao Ling, Qin Xiaotian, and others did.

Everyone knew him by the name Elder Ye, even the Academy’s Dean, Lord Xinghai, would address him as Elder Ye.

This old man usually kept a low profile, mainly responsible for the cleanup and organizing books in the library courtyard, often beginning his work early in the morning.

Xiao Qin took a glance and immediately greeted with respect:

”Ah, Elder Ye, it’s you, sir.”

Qin Xiaotian also reluctantly called out,

”Hello, Elder Ye.”

The old man glanced at Qin Xiaotian with indifference and said:

”Xiaotian, take my advice, go back to the Advanced Academy Department, don’t cause trouble here, I can only save you once.”

”Me?”

Qin Xiaotian stared blankly at the old man.

Qin Xiaotian, during his cultivation at the Lower Academy Department, had several encounters with Elder Ye while searching for books. The old man admired Qin Xiaotian’s talent, and the familiarity grew between them.

Qin Xiaotian knew that today’s attack on Yang Xiao was known to Elder Ye, and if the old man reports it to the Academy authorities, he would certainly face some trouble.

”Elder Ye, my brother was killed by him, I—”

The old man waved his hand, interrupting Qin Xiaotian, calmly saying:

”If your brother had killed him, and someone wanted to kill your brother for revenge, what would you think?”

Qin Xiaotian momentarily speechless.

Everything was fair, but he relied on the strength of the Qin family, attempting to forcibly manipulate fairness so that everything would only be advantageous to himself.

Qin Xiaotian hesitated slightly, seeing his two brothers looking somewhat uneasy, he then said:

”Fine, I’ll give Elder Ye some face,”

After speaking, he turned to Yang Xiao and said:

”Yang Xiao, can you hide in the library, hide in Flying Leopard Academy your whole life? We’ll see, I will certainly avenge my brother.”

Finishing his sentence, he quickly left with his two brothers.

After Qin Xiaotian left, the old man waved his hand, and the Defense Light Screen before Yang Xiao instantly disappeared.

Yang Xiao walked forward a few steps and bowed to the old man:

”Many thanks for your help, senior.”

The old man smiled gently,

”I actually did not help you, you do not need my help. I just couldn’t bear to see Qin Xiaotian die; he is quite talented, and if he were just killed by you, it would be a great loss.”

Yang Xiao chuckled lightly,

”So, it seems senior favors Qin Xiaotian?”

”Haha... young man, what’s with that talk? If you truly killed Qin Xiaotian earlier, do you think you could continue staying at Flying Leopard Academy?

If the Qin family suddenly lost two sons, they would definitely demand your head from Flying Leopard Academy, and if the Academy didn’t comply, the Qin family would send a large number of experts to enter the Academy and take your life.”

”Won’t the Qin family still do that now?”

Xiao Ling interjected with a question.

”Now, of course, it’s hard to say. Qin Yue’s death is a heavy blow to the Qin family, but Qin Xiaotian is still studying at the Academy, and whatever the Qin family does must take his circumstances into consideration,

there’s a saying, revenge usually isn’t time-sensitive,

the Qin family seeking revenge doesn’t necessarily have to be now.”

”Senior, you seem to know the Qin family quite well?”

The old man did not directly answer Yang Xiao’s question, instead, he stared at Yang Xiao with his eyes and finally shifted his gaze to the Bronze Divine Sword in Yang Xiao’s hand.

The old man said in a somber tone:

”It’s said that two-star Divine Weapons can instantly kill Empire Level powerhouses; I don’t believe that. If I were thirty years younger, I’d definitely like to try that Divine Weapon in your hand,

alas, I’m old, no longer have the fighting spirit, it’s too late, I need to sleep, or else I won’t be able to get up tomorrow.”

The old man coughed a few times, turned, and walked forward.

The old man walked away step by step, and the motion-sensing smart lights behind him went out one by one, until he stepped out of the first-floor library, leaving only a few lights around Yang Xiao and Xiao Ling lit, the rest had gone dark.

Yang Xiao paused for a moment, turned to Xiao Ling,

”Do you know this old man well?”

”Not very well, had a few dealings due to book searching, I guess Elder Ye is the oldest person in Flying Leopard Academy, even the Dean, Lord Xinghai, respectfully calls him Elder Ye.”

”What is his Genetic Evolution Level?”

Xiao Ling spread her hands and laughed:

”I don’t know, but you saw earlier, the Defensive Light Shield he launched blocked Qin Xiaotian’s attack, he should be at least Empire Level Middle Realm?”

”Impossible, he’s at least Empire Level High Realm, possibly not far from breaking into Emperor Level.”

Xiao Ling whispered in shock:

”Is that exaggerated?”

Yang Xiao nodded.

...

Qin Xiaotian brought his brothers back to the Advanced Academy Department, feeling depressed along the way, as they hadn’t completed their mission to attack Yang Xiao and were discovered by Xiao Ling and Elder Ye in the library.

One of them asked:

”Xiaotian, when Elder Ye said he could only save you once, what did he mean? Do you mean you were still in danger facing Yang Xiao earlier?”

”Nonsense, Xiaotian could kill Yang Xiao with one round holding this longsword.”

”Elder Ye probably meant he was worried about me committing the crime of killing a fellow student, unable to stand at Flying Leopard Academy in the future.”

Qin Xiaotian said calmly.

In his heart, there was an inexplicable anxiety, Yang Xiao seemed so calm, as if the moment he thrust his sword, Yang Xiao could immediately counter him.

”What’s the background of this Yang Xiao anyway?”
