Super Gene Hunting Ground

Zhai Kang inquired about Yang Xiao’s life and shared some important matters to pay attention to at the academy.

”Yang Xiao, although I’m just an ordinary teacher at Wuji Academy, if you encounter any difficulties, feel free to come to me. After all, I’m more familiar with the academy than you are and can help solve some problems.”

”Thank you, teacher!”

...

Yang Xiao left Teacher Zhai Kang’s office feeling quite cheerful.

It seemed today’s visit was worthwhile; the set of cultivation book list Zhai Kang provided was quite instructive, potentially saving him from many detours.

Otherwise, Yang Xiao would have been aimlessly searching in the library, wasting who knows how much time to find shortcuts in cultivation.

Upon leaving the instructional building, Yang Xiao, according to the academy map, headed to the nearest cultivation field.

Yang Xiao was eager to witness what Wuji Academy’s cultivation field looked like, especially since Teacher Zhai Kang had just advised him to visit the No. 101, 222, and 308 training grounds more often, which piqued his curiosity.

Why did Teacher Zhai Kang suggest I go to these three training grounds? What’s peculiar about them?

Zhai Kang especially instructed Yang Xiao not to ask too many questions, further igniting Yang Xiao’s curiosity.

The academy map showed that the nearest cultivation field to Yang Xiao was just 2 kilometers away from the instructional building.

As for the three training grounds referred to by Teacher Zhai Kang, the nearest one was also 10 kilometers away. Although ten kilometers would take Yang Xiao a short time to cover, he decided to first check out the nearest cultivation field.

Moments later, Yang Xiao arrived at the cultivation field 2 kilometers away from the instructional building, marked as No. 1 cultivation field, suitable for those below the Empire Level Realm.

Standing at the entrance of the cultivation field, Yang Xiao could see groups of students going in and out.

Most of these people were students from the primary section below the Empire Level Realm.

Yang Xiao entered the cultivation field, and to his surprise, found a huge underground entrance inside, with four guards stationed at the entrance, and the entrance was covered by a Defense Light Screen.

Yang Xiao saw some students swipe their Identity Jade on the Light Screen, which then opened, allowing them to enter.

Yang Xiao walked over, took out his academy Identity Jade, and swiped it on the Light Screen.

The guard near Yang Xiao glanced at him, and upon seeing Yang Xiao holding an orange jade token, his expression changed slightly; he wanted to say something but eventually held back.

As Yang Xiao entered the light screen and walked into the underground passage, the guard mumbled,

”Are students at the Emperor Level Realm this bored nowadays? Coming to No. 1 cultivation field to join the fun?”

The cave entrance was enormous, probably around forty to fifty meters wide.

The entrance had a descending stone staircase, with a guard stationed at intervals on duty.

Yang Xiao was puzzled, why was the cultivation field built underground?

He continued down the stone staircase, walking about sixty to seventy meters, where it began to widen and flatten with a vast area.

A sense of evolution ability wrapped around Yang Xiao’s body, and his pores seemed to be experiencing a strange respiration.

”What’s going on?”

Yang Xiao walked further into the underground cave, which became more expansive, with widths reaching over a hundred meters.

Students started sitting sporadically on the ground for cultivation.

The farther he went, the denser the evolutionary energy in the air felt, and more and more students were present.

Yang Xiao randomly found a place to sit and meditate for cultivation, finding himself unable to absorb the evolutionary energy in the air.

Yang Xiao turned his head to a teenager not far away and asked in a low voice:

”Brother, why can’t I absorb the evolutionary energy here?”

The teenager looked up at Yang Xiao and said lightly:

”The Wuji Academy’s Basic Heart Method, Evolution Technique, have you practiced it?”

”Evolution Technique? What’s that?”

”You don’t even know the Evolution Technique, what are you doing at the cultivation field? Got too much money to spend? A thousand Crystal Disks per hour!”

Gosh, a thousand Crystal Disks an hour, why not just rob? Damn!

Yang Xiao indeed had money but couldn’t waste it like this!

Yang Xiao quickly got up and started running back.

The teenager called out,

”Where are you going?”

”I’m heading out!”

”The entrance is in front; the exit is in the other direction.”

”Damn!”

Yang Xiao had to turn around and run in the other direction.

After running out of the cave, Yang Xiao swiped his Identity Jade again, the Light Screen door opened, and he exited.

Yang Xiao went straight to the academy library to find the book on the Evolution Technique.

The Evolution Technique is a unique cultivation method of Wuji Academy, designed specifically to be used in conjunction with the pit cultivation fields to help cultivators absorb the pit’s evolutionary energy.

Yang Xiao suddenly thought of a question,

”Since the cultivation fields also have evolution energy that can be absorbed, why do people still vie for the villas? Besides being cheap, does the spa in the villa have any other effects?”

The Evolution Technique wasn’t difficult, and Yang Xiao basically mastered it after spending an afternoon, studying and cultivating in the library, he even could feel the thin evolutionary energy in the air.

The entire Wuji Island, Wuji Academy seemed to be enveloped by a type of genetic evolution energy, and the evolutionary energy at the pit cultivation field was even denser.

In between cultivating the Evolution Technique, Yang Xiao found an introductory book on basic academy knowledge in the library and generally learned that the over three hundred cultivation fields at Wuji Academy were actually divided into many levels.

The No. 1 cultivation field Yang Xiao visited today was the lowest, Level 1, with a fee of one thousand Crystal Disks per hour,

There are also Level 2 cultivation fields, with a fee of two thousand Crystal Disks per hour,

Each level increase adds an increment of one thousand Crystal Disks,

Up to Level 9 cultivation fields, the fee raised to nine thousand Crystal Disks.

However, all fees within the academy for Emperor Level Realm students are half price, which is quite a significant discount.

The Evolution Technique is just a basic cultivation method, once learned, it can be used in all cultivation fields.

Yang Xiao went back to the No. 1 cultivation field again to test the effect of learning the Evolution Technique.

The guard at the entrance seemed to recognize Yang Xiao, showing confusion when seeing Yang Xiao entering the passage with the orange Jade Token again.

Why is this guy coming to the No. 1 cultivation field twice in one day?

Is there some treasure here?

Yang Xiao casually found a place to sit in the underground pit, operated the Evolution Technique, and sure enough, a stream of genetic evolution energy entered his body through the pores.

However, compared to the evolutionary energy of the villa spa, the energy here felt much colder.

If Yang Xiao weren’t at the Emperor Level Realm, he might not be able to endure for more than an hour continuously.

Now Yang Xiao noticed that nearby students would get up and move a bit after about half an hour of cultivation, running other cultivation techniques, stretching limbs, and warming their bodies.
