Super Gene Hunting Ground

The Emperor of Great Dragon felt quite awkward and disappointed. Originally, he was determined to take the risk of damaging his imperial dignity and reputation to capture Yang Xiao and eliminate future troubles, but he didn’t expect that Yang Xiao had already left Dragon City yesterday and returned to the Flying Leopard Empire.

Today, he arranged for hundreds of high-level guards to defend the Chess Institute. All these arrangements were intended to capture Yang Xiao.

The Emperor of Great Dragon sighed inwardly, had to give up, promptly adjusted his mindset, and took out a beautifully crafted Go set from the Space Ring as a gift for Wanyan Hong.

”Alas, it’s really a pity. I didn’t expect Yang Xiao to leave first. This Go set is polished from mutation mineral stones within Purple Crystal Stone by my teacher, extremely rare. It was intended to be given in person to the champion of this tournament, but now it can only be transferred to him through you.”

Wanyan Hong immediately bowed and said:

”I thank the Emperor on behalf of Yang Xiao. I believe he will like this special gift.”

...

The award ceremony ended soon, and the Emperor of Great Dragon felt disappointed. At the following reception banquet, he only showed up briefly and then hastily withdrew from the banquet.

According to the competition arrangements, there was a Go lecture by Chen Rong afterward, as well as an arrangement for the top three to play separate games with Chen Rong.

In the afternoon, Wanyan Hong played a game of Go with Chen Rong alone and received personal guidance from Chen Rong, gaining a lot.

Chen Rong already knew about Yang Xiao’s alliance with the Flying Leopard Empire, so naturally, she paid special attention to Wanyan Hong and gave him more guidance.

...

The Emperor of Great Dragon returned to the Royal Palace, feeling very gloomy.

Long Aotian said:

”Father, why did Yang Xiao suddenly leave? There’s no reason for it.”

”Could it be that our information was leaked?”

”Impossible, this matter is only known by you and me. The mobilization of the guards is also considered a normal situation. The guards all think it’s just routine vigilance; no one knows we were planning to capture Yang Xiao.”

”In saying this, Yang Xiao is very vigilant, accurately predicting that we might be unfavorable to him, and slipped away quietly. I really underestimated him, this person is truly unfathomable!”

”Father, what should we do now?”

”What else can we do? We can’t rush to the Flying Leopard Empire to capture Yang Xiao, can we? Since the plan failed, let’s not alarm him for the time being and look for another opportunity later.”

...

After meeting with Chen Rong and Liu Suifeng yesterday, Yang Xiao quietly returned to Flying Leopard Academy.

For him, since he had seen Chen Rong, staying in Dragon City no longer made sense. Besides, he was indeed a bit worried about his safety. If the Emperor of Great Dragon turned hostile, disregarding dignity and reputation, and captured him in Dragon City, there would be nothing he could do.

Before the competition, he wasn’t very worried, because currently, the Flying Leopard Empire and the Youming Empire were still allied, forming a suppressive situation against the Great Dragon Empire alongside a dozen other empires. The Emperor of Great Dragon should not dare to easily act against him.

However, during the Go tournament, Yang Xiao advanced stage by stage, defeating Long Hang, Bai Zetian, Bai Ming, and killing Su Xiao. His performance was too eye-catching, making him worried that his actions might provoke the killing intent of the Emperor of Great Dragon.

Moreover, judging from the behavior of Long Hang and Su Xiao, the Emperor of Great Dragon had indeed secretly tampered, hoping to eliminate Yang Xiao openly through the Go tournament, but he did not expect that Yang Xiao’s chess skills and spiritual power exceeded their imagination, resulting in him fighting his way out.

Toward the end, Yang Xiao increasingly felt the danger of his situation. This was exactly the sentiment in the heart of the Emperor of Great Dragon.

Yang Xiao was originally an enemy of the Great Dragon Empire and now displayed such strong spiritual power. The Emperor of Great Dragon was even more concerned about Yang Xiao’s future potential and threat, finally turning the secret assassination into a public capture operation.

On this return to Witch Star, Yang Xiao’s primary task was to recruit a group of mentors from Flying Leopard Academy to serve as tutors at the academy on Purple Origin Star.

The preliminary work for this task was almost complete, with a list of one hundred nominees already finalized. They were just waiting for the conclusion of Flying Leopard Academy’s hunting competition and the current graduation ceremony to take the graduating students back to Purple Origin Star.

With half a month left until graduation, Yang Xiao temporarily stayed at Flying Leopard Academy to cultivate the Genetic Evolution Method.

Yang Xiao went to the library and found Elder Ye.

”Elder Ye, I have a question for you.”

Elder Ye lay on a recliner under a big tree, his eyes half-closed, chuckled, and said:

”You kid, you’re now famous on Witch Star!

As the leader of Purple Origin Star, you’ve successively killed Long Kui and War God, almost crippling a powerful Great Dragon Empire,

swept through the Go exchange tournament to win the championship, shining in the limelight, what question could you possibly need to ask this old fool?”

Yang Xiao smiled wryly and said:

”Elder Ye, about my skills, others may not know, but don’t you know? Please don’t mock me. I’m just lucky.”

”Hehe, lucky? Hmm, you indeed are the luckiest person I’ve seen on Witch Star Continent in decades. What’s your question? Go on.”

”I heard that you are a prince of the Flying Leopard Empire Dynasty, is that true?”

In Elder Ye’s mind, there was a hum. He suddenly opened his eyes, sat up directly from the recliner, his eyes sparkling as he looked at Yang Xiao.

Yang Xiao felt a sharp killing aura rush towards him, involuntarily shivering.

Elder Ye’s gaze then dimmed, and he lay back on the recliner, saying faintly:

”Who told you that?”

”The Flying Leopard Emperor.”

Yang Xiao said in a deep voice. In fact, he lied. Regarding Elder Ye’s identity, only Liang Bao expressed suspicion and privately mentioned it to him. But to deceive Elder Ye, he directly mentioned the Flying Leopard Emperor, which was a real bombshell.

Elder Ye was first taken aback, then said faintly:

”What if I am? What if I’m not? Have you ever seen a prince like me, over a hundred years old, about to die?”

”Junior does not quite understand one thing. Elder Ye, you could break through to the Emperor Level Realm because of cultivating the Life and Death Iteration Law, or was it the result of cultivating Flying Leopard Divine Skill?”

Elder Ye laughed softly after hearing this:

”Little rascal, so this is why you came. I can tell you clearly, I indeed have cultivated the Life and Death Iteration Law, but my real breakthrough to the Emperor Level Realm relied on the secret technique of the Flying Leopard Empire, the Flying Leopard Divine Skill.”

Yang Xiao’s heart skipped a beat, thinking, it really is, thus he asked:

”Based on your experience, if I cultivate the Life and Death Iteration Law, can I break through to the Emperor Level Realm?”

Elder Ye pondered for a moment and said:

”I fear I cannot answer that question for you. The Life and Death Iteration Law is indeed a peculiar cultivation method, but its success and accuracy have not been confirmed by later generations, so this method has not been widely adopted.

If you cultivate it, breaking through to Empire Level Advanced is no problem, but as for the Emperor Level Realm, it might be a bit difficult.”

”Elder Ye, if I want to cultivate the Flying Leopard Divine Skill, is it possible?”

Elder Ye heard this, chuckled, and said:

”You finally brought up this question.

Unfortunately, you are not a Witch Star person, much less a member of the Flying Leopard Imperial Royal Family. Joining the Flying Leopard Empire’s Gold Medal Guard Team is tough!”
