Super Gene Hunting Ground

Long Aotian smiled faintly,

”Dean Su, you truly are a Go master, so clever, truly admirable!”

Su Xiao replied coldly,

”The enmity between your Great Dragon Empire and Yang Xiao, who on the Witch Star doesn’t know about it? You’ve come to me to deal with Yang Xiao. You can’t openly attack Yang Xiao, so using the chess tournament as a guise is undoubtedly legitimate, and no one can say anything.

Today you sent Long Hang to compete against Yang Xiao, intending to take the opportunity to kill Yang Xiao, right? But unfortunately, Yang Xiao turned out to be stronger than you imagined. Long Hang couldn’t kill Yang Xiao and ended up being seriously injured himself.”

Su Xiao cast a glance at the chess manual on the table,

”A shabby chess manual, and you expect me to kill Yang Xiao for you? Do you really think I’m such a cheap person? That Yang Xiao, who even killed a War God—I’m not looking for trouble.”

Long Aotian’s face turned awkward as he said,

”Dean Su, with your skills in chess and spiritual power, dealing with Yang Xiao would be a trivial task. As for the terms, you can propose them.”

Su Xiao gave a strange smile and said,

”I told you, you might not be able to agree.”

”Please, go ahead.”

”I have heard that the Heavenly Dragon Swordsmanship of the Imperial Dynasty of Great Dragon Empire is the most powerful cultivation technique on our Witch Star Continent. I’m very eager to observe it and study it. I wonder if you can fulfill my wish.”

Long Aotian was taken aback, replying coldly,

”Dean Su, what a bold demand! Is the Heavenly Dragon Swordsmanship something you can covet?”

”Hehe, I told you it was unlikely you’d agree. Besides, you don’t have the authority to promise me that. Please leave; I can’t help you with Yang Xiao’s matter.”

Anger simmered inside Long Aotian, who yearned to punch Su Xiao if it weren’t for needing his aid against Yang Xiao.

Su Xiao’s Genetic Evolution Level was Empire Level Advanced, and while his combat power wasn’t too formidable, his spiritual power and chess skills were.

Long Aotian resisted his fury, took a deep breath, looked at Su Xiao, and said,

”I can offer you a hundred billion Crystal Coins, or even more.”

”Hehe, Crystal Coins — do I care for them? Our Fire Wolf Emperor treats me very well, letting me use evolution resources freely. Besides, I’ve reached a bottleneck in my Genetic Evolution; more Crystal Coins don’t really benefit me.”

”But the Heavenly Dragon Swordsmanship is a top-secret cultivation technique of our Long Family royal lineage. Even the royal descendants need approval to learn it, which means, I truly can’t promise you.”

Su Xiao laughed,

”Naturally, you can’t promise me, but you could go back and ask your father, perhaps he might agree.”

Long Aotian stared at Su Xiao blankly and helplessly said,

”Alright, I’ll go back and ask my father’s opinion. However, I suggest you consider other conditions since dealing with Yang Xiao isn’t difficult for you; don’t ask for too much. We aren’t desperate for your help.”

Long Aotian finished speaking and turned to leave.

Su Xiao watched Long Aotian’s departing figure and grinned sinisterly as he shut the door.

...

Long Aotian stormed back to the office of the Chess Institute, picked up a cup and drank tea, cursing,

”That Su Xiao, utterly shameless, actually wants our Long Dynasty’s Heavenly Dragon Swordsmanship—ugh!”

Long Jing was in the room with two assistants, organizing today’s match outcomes and preparing for tomorrow’s matches. Hearing Long Aotian’s complaint, she asked,

”Why did you go to see Su Xiao?”

”I wanted Su Xiao to kill Yang Xiao during the match, and that guy actually requested to learn Heavenly Dragon Swordsmanship. Don’t you think that’s outrageous?”

Long Jing was shocked internally,

”You asked Su Xiao to kill Yang Xiao?”

”Why, is it not possible?”

”Requesting Su Xiao to do this doesn’t it disgrace our Great Dragon Empire?

Moreover, is killing Yang Xiao truly the only path?

Long Jing wasn’t inclined toward Yang Xiao’s demise, yet dared not directly oppose Long Aotian’s plan. As of now, everyone in the empire, from the Emperor of Great Dragon to the common person, regarded Yang Xiao as an enemy, deeply resenting him.

War God and Long Kui held high prestige in the Great Dragon Empire, with many supporters, who naturally loathed Yang Xiao as an enemy.

Long Aotian retorted,

”As long as I can kill Yang Xiao, what harm is it seeking Su Xiao and losing face? Hmph, I refuse to believe it; I won’t let him escape this time!”

Long Aotian finished and exited the room, heading directly for the Royal Palace.

...

”Father, I went to Su Xiao. I want him to take action against Yang Xiao during the chess tournament, but Su Xiao requested something I cannot decide,”

”What did Su Xiao ask for?”

”He said he wants to learn our Heavenly Dragon Swordsmanship!”

Emperor of Great Dragon: ”...”

The Royal Palace’s main hall fell silent as the Emperor of Great Dragon pondered quietly, while the guards and attendants around were all stunned.

The Heavenly Dragon Swordsmanship was the Imperial Dynasty’s most potent cultivation technique. Even royal family members needed certain evolutionary foundations to qualify for learning it.

All learners were registered officially, and secret teaching was strictly forbidden, even between family members or spouses. If found, harsh punishment would follow.

After a pause, the Emperor of Great Dragon sighed and said,

”Since Su Xiao wants to learn, let him, as long as he can kill Yang Xiao during the chess tournament, I will let him learn the Heavenly Dragon Swordsmanship.”

”What?”

Long Aotian stared at his father in surprise; he hadn’t expected his father might actually agree to Su Xiao’s request.

The Emperor of Great Dragon smiled faintly,

”If there comes a day when the Great Dragon Empire can’t be preserved, why bother having the Heavenly Dragon Swordsmanship?

Moreover, Su Xiao doesn’t have the Dragon Soul; even if he learned Heavenly Dragon Swordsmanship, the maximum effectiveness can’t be unleashed, no need to worry.”

Long Aotian’s heart was shaken.

To him, his father had always been the undeniable overlord of Witch Star, never before showing such dejection and pessimism.

Long Aotian felt a pang,

”Father, don’t worry. Su Xiao will certainly be able to kill Yang Xiao. Even if Yang Xiao escapes Su Xiao’s grasp, isn’t there still the Great Grandmaster?

If necessary, we can encircle Yang Xiao and put an end to him.”

The Emperor of Great Dragon contemplated for a moment then said,

”Ao Tian, remember, not to attack Yang Xiao directly unless there’s no other choice left, also, consult with Long Jing regarding matters.”

”Yes, Father!”

...

Long Jing realized that ever since she met Yang Xiao on Earth, her life seemed destined to revolve around Yang Xiao.

Her son, Long Xiao was already four years old. The little fellow was robust and handsome, with a heroic spirit resembling Yang Xiao, and even a semblance in appearance.

This caused Long Jing great concern, fearing that one day someone like Long Aotian or another might uncover the connection between her son and Yang Xiao.

To keep this secret temporarily undisclosed, Long Jing strived to keep her son away from those who knew Yang Xiao, including Long Aotian and the Fourth Prince.

The Emperor of Great Dragon had never met Yang Xiao, naturally unable to recognize him. Despite this, Long Jing seldom brought her son out for play, fearing an accidental encounter with Long Aotian.

...

Long Jing arrived at the Royal Inn in front of the room where Yang Xiao was staying, hesitated at the door, unsure whether to knock.

The two maids beside her observed Princess Long Jing’s hesitant and apprehensive demeanor, puzzled as she was hardly seen in such indecision before.

With a creaking sound, the door opened, and Wanyan He stepped outside, momentarily surprised upon seeing Long Jing at the door.

Wanyan He knew Long Jing, but not well.

Seeing the Princess suddenly standing at the door was too abrupt, making him a bit nervous and stammering,

”Whom are you looking for?”

Long Jing smiled faintly,

”I’m looking for Yang Xiao!”
