Super Gene Hunting Ground

A golden giant dragon coiled around the space near Long Jing, its enormous dragon body over a hundred meters long astonishing the twenty thousand people gathered on the field.

”My god, Dragon Soul!”

”I’ve only heard of the Dragon Soul, never seen it before.”

”There’s an old saying, when the Dragon Soul appears, all souls bow. The contestant from Heavenly Dragon Academy actually possesses a Dragon Soul, Yang Xiao is doomed now.”

”Yes, Yang Xiao was already at a disadvantage earlier, and now that they’ve revealed the Dragon Soul, Yang Xiao is surely done for.”

”Alas, I thought our Flying Leopard Academy could defeat Heavenly Dragon Academy this time, but it turns out to be nothing but wishful thinking.”

”No wonder the Dean of Heavenly Dragon Academy dared to bet the Heavenly Dragon Divine Sword with our dean, Dean Xinghai has fallen into a trap.”

...

Xiao Ling’s face twisted with panic as she clung to Elder Ye’s arm.

”Elder Ye, will Yang Xiao be alright?”

Elder Ye also wore a grave expression, saying:

”It’s hard to say, it depends on whether Yang Xiao’s Beast Soul can withstand it. Sigh, who would have thought this girl would possess such a rare Heavenly Dragon Beast Soul. It’s been over a hundred years since the royal family of the Great Dragon Empire has seen a Heavenly Dragon Beast Soul. It seems indeed, the Great Dragon Empire is blessed by the heavens!”

”What do you mean?”

”Don’t ask anything, just watch for now. No one can help Yang Xiao at this moment.”

...

As Long Jing’s Heavenly Dragon Beast Soul emerged, Yang Xiao felt a strong oppressive force. He knew that at this moment, no Soul Skill could counter the girl in front of him.

Yang Xiao had no retreat, he could only rely on his own Beast Soul to fight back.

When the tail of the golden Dragon Soul finally emerged from the void, Long Jing herself disappeared.

At this moment, she had transformed into the Heavenly Dragon Beast Soul.

The Heavenly Dragon Beast Soul is her!

The golden giant dragon did not attack immediately but hovered in mid-air, gazing majestically at Yang Xiao. The surrounding space was violently fluctuating with large clouds billowing.

Apparently, Long Jing was giving Yang Xiao time.

Whether it was to surrender voluntarily, confront, or defend and evade, Yang Xiao had to make a quick decision.

Yang Xiao gritted his teeth, his body trembled, and his Divine Sense exploded,

”Crash!”

With a loud noise,

Surging seawater suddenly appeared in the arena, rapidly rising along the Defense Light Screen, waves crashing several meters high.

The surging seawater instantly filled the arena, rising ten meters or more along the Defense Light Screen and still rising rapidly.

The crowd was astonished,

”What the hell, what is Yang Xiao doing?”

”This is Yang Xiao’s Soul Skill. He used it once during his duel with Qin Yue. It’s quite terrifying.”

Back when Yang Xiao dueled with Qin Yue, he used his Beast Soul once, but the audience then was only two to three thousand people, far fewer than the twenty thousand people now.

...

On the podium, Xinghai and Long Kui nearly stood up.

In the distance, Elder Ye’s lips twitched, too excited to speak.

They were all witnessing Yang Xiao’s Beast Soul for the first time.

Dean Xinghai said in a trembling voice:

”Beast Soul Domain? How is this possible? Yang Xiao actually possesses a Beast Soul Domain, something only ever mentioned in legends. I never expected to see it with my own eyes today.”

Long Kui, both envious and worried, said:

”Brother Xinghai, you’ve set such a big trap for me, you’re truly unscrupulous!”

”To be honest, this is also my first time seeing Yang Xiao unleash his Beast Soul, and very few people know about the Beast Soul Domain even now.”

”That’s strange, where did you find such a genius freak?”

”Hehe.....”

....

Xiao Ling, having witnessed Yang Xiao using his Beast Soul before, was not too surprised. She turned to glance at Elder Ye, finding him speechless with shock, and curiously asked:

”Elder Ye, is something wrong?”

Elder Ye started, casting Xiao Ling a meaningful look, and said:

”Young girl, you’ve struck it rich.”

”What do you mean? Struck it rich in what?”

”Yang Xiao! You should hold onto this sly boy tightly, don’t let other women snatch him away. This boy has immeasurable potential in the future, and you can enjoy the good life with him, can’t you?”

”Me?”

Xiao Ling rolled her eyes at Elder Ye in exasperation.

In her heart, she liked Yang Xiao purely out of affection, without any worldly distractions. If it were just for the pursuit of supposed riches and prosperity, there were many wealthy and influential suitors before, no need to go for Yang Xiao.

Her consistent attitude was, I love you, but you must love me back; otherwise, I will let you go, never would I humble myself to cling and plead by your side.

Therefore, she dismissed Elder Ye’s words with disapproval.

...

In the center of the arena, the surging seawater continued to rise, reaching at least thirty meters by now.

The entire Defense Light Screen was only about fifty meters high, with Yang Xiao’s Beast Soul occupying more than half of this height already.

Host Deng Nan instructed the two staff members responsible for controlling the Defense Light Screen:

”Raise the Light Screen to a height of one hundred meters.”

”Yes!”

The two staff members quickly pressed a few buttons on the instrument, and with a ”buzz” sound, the Defense Light Screen instantly rose to a height of one hundred meters.

At this moment, a roar from the ancient sky resounded,

”Hum—”

A huge monster’s head emerged from the sea, opening its giant mouth to roar at the golden dragon in mid-air.

Long Jing’s Heavenly Dragon Beast Soul heard this roar, and its heart trembled slightly, immediately letting out a screech,

”Roar!”

The golden dragon, imbued with the power of lightning, opened its massive mouth and spewed a hundred-meter-long torrent of intense extreme cold towards the monster’s head in the sea.

The temperature inside the defense light screen dropped sharply, and before the extreme cold energy landed on the water surface, a thin layer of ice had already formed.

Long Jing’s Heavenly Dragon Beast Soul was an Ice Element Mystic Frost Giant Dragon.

”Hum—”

Another echo from the ancient sky, the sea violently surged,

”Splash,”

A huge water pillar suddenly shot up towards the Mystic Frost Giant Dragon.

The seawater happened to meet the Cold Frost Heavenly Dragon’s extreme cold ice fog, and instantly froze into a giant ice pillar with a diameter of five to six meters.

However, the seawater below continued to surge upwards, propelling the ice pillar towards the Mystic Frost Giant Dragon.

In the blink of an eye, a massive ice pillar forty to fifty meters long extended between the sea monster and the Mystic Frost Giant Dragon in the sky, stopping ten meters away from the dragon.

On the other end, the ice pillar plunged into the sea, instantly freezing a thick layer of ice over several dozen meters of surrounding seawater.

Yet, the ice stopped forming ten meters away from the sea monster.

The audience suddenly felt a chill, as the strong cold air penetrated the defense light screen and spread throughout the field.

Consequently, they sorrowfully observed that mist and droplets started forming on the defense light screen, gradually reducing its transparency.

Due to the low temperature inside the defense light screen and the high temperature outside, the large temperature difference caused condensation on the screen.

Host Deng Nan waved his hand and shouted:

”Inject energy into the defense light screen.”

Immediately, a hundred Empire Level Advanced realm super warriors flew out from the front-row audience, rushing towards the defense light screen, extending their hands to continuously channel abundant evolution energy into it.

The droplets instantly evaporated and disappeared.

The defense light screen returned to transparency.

The last time Yang Xiao and Qin Xiaotian used their two-star Divine Weapon in a duel, they nearly destroyed this defense light screen.

Deng Nan and the others learned from the previous experience, not only enhancing the energy level of the defense light screen but also stationing a hundred Empire Level Realm super warriors as maintainers, seated among the front-row audience, ready to rescue and repair it at any moment.

Inside the defense light screen, Yang Xiao and Long Jing’s battle was in a tense stalemate.

The Mystic Frost Giant Dragon in the sky continuously emitted extreme cold fog through the massive ice pillar, channeling extreme cold energy into the water below.

The ice surface in the water continued to expand, gradually enveloping one-third of the water body, after which nearly the entire water was frozen.

”Damn, Yang Xiao is in danger. If Long Jing freezes the entire sea, won’t his beast soul be trapped in the ice?”

”Yeah, why doesn’t Yang Xiao leap out of the water to fight her? This way, he’s too passive.”

...

Xinghai and Long Kui were both very tense, as neither side seemed to have the advantage, and the situation could overturn any time, leading to unexpected results.

Xiao Ling was very tense, staring at the arena.

Elder Ye’s face was solemn.

...

Yang Xiao was also distressed at the moment.

Damn it, I want to leap out of the water and duel her, but I can’t control my beast soul right now, how can I get out of the water?

If this continues, I really will be frozen completely.

”Crack, crack.....”

The sound of freezing water kept emerging.

Yang Xiao’s divine sense suddenly sensed a piercing cold invading his body,

”This is bad!”

Yang Xiao’s beast soul had a two-hundred-meter-long giant tail lurking in the water, always considering using the impact of the ice pillar to directly support the Mystic Frost Giant Dragon in the sky, allowing the pillar to ascend continuously, ultimately using the dragon’s own cold air to seal her.

However, the Mystic Frost Giant Dragon’s combat power was indeed formidable; the ice pillar couldn’t be pushed any closer than ten meters away, while Long Jing cunningly utilized this huge ice pillar, reversing the stratagem, infusing enormous extreme cold elemental energy into the water.

Long Jing’s plan was straightforward: freeze the entire water body and seal Yang Xiao’s beast soul.

Considering Yang Xiao’s terrifying combat power displayed so far, Long Jing was deeply shocked within.

Yang Xiao knew that if this continued, he would be frozen sooner or later, leading to inevitable defeat.

”Hum—”

A furious roar,

”Crack,” a thunderous sound, a massive icy body suddenly exploded, ice debris flying.

A huge monster tail abruptly burst through the ice layer, shattering the void, fiercely chopping towards the Mystic Frost Giant Dragon in mid-air.

Simultaneously,

A giant claw breached the water surface, ferociously slapping the massive ice pillar,

”Crack,”

A sharp sound reverberated,

A crack swiftly extended upward, flashing to the top of the ice pillar,

The massive ice pillar ”crack,” split in half,

A fierce killing aura burst forth, shooting towards the head of the Mystic Frost Giant Dragon.

(Ahem, seems like yet another cliffhanger, over three thousand words, I truly didn’t do it on purpose.)
