Super Gene Hunting Ground

Chu Tian is in the library reading a book when a junior finds him.

”Brother Tian, there’s good news about Yang Xiao.”

”What?”

”Yang Xiao has joined the hunting team organized by Xing Zhe and is leaving for a hunt at Wuji Island outside Wuji Academy tomorrow.”

Chu Tian immediately perks up and asks:

”Really?”

”Yes, this is news I just got from another classmate. I have two classmates who signed up to join Xing Zhe’s hunting team. They just got the team list, and Yang Xiao’s name is on it.”

Chu Tian’s junior hands a copy of the list to Chu Tian.

Chu Tian looks over it and indeed sees Yang Xiao’s name, along with a note of class 10000368 and Emperor Level realm.

Wuji Academy doesn’t restrict students from joining outdoor hunting teams. In fact, participating in outdoor hunting teams is very beneficial for improving students’ combat prowess and honing their Genetic Evolution Method.

However, since Wuji Island is home to many Demon Beasts with high levels, the risks of outdoor hunting are not small. Before participating, students must register with the academy and submit team member information to make it easier for the academy to find missing persons in case of incidents.

Each member also receives a list the day before departing to help them familiarize themselves with each other, facilitating team activities in the wild.

”Xing Zhe is the vice-captain, and the captain is Jiang En, along with two powerful Emperor Level realm individuals, plus Yang Xiao, a total of five Emperor Level realm individuals.

The other thirty-eight members from the academy are Empire Level realm, each paying a protection fee of ten thousand crystal disks. Xing Zhe can make quite a bit of money.”

Chu Tian says while looking at the hunting team list.

The junior next to him says:

”Brother Tian, while Yang Xiao is heading to the wild for hunting, it’s a great chance to take care of him. But with Jiang En and Xing Zhe around, it might be tough to get at him.”

Chu Tian hesitates for a moment and then asks:

”How many people have we recruited for our hunting team?”

”Report, Brother Tian, we’ve already recruited 40 people, still 10 short of your target of 50 people.”

”Let’s not wait. Forty is fine. We’ll also head out hunting tomorrow, follow Xing Zhe’s team, and look for an opportunity in the wild. If there’s a chance, we’ll directly deal with Yang Xiao.

Go back and prepare, notify the team members, we’ll set out for the hunt tomorrow.”

”Yes, Brother Tian.”

...

In the evening, Yang Xiao is called by Xing Zhe to an activity room in the teaching building. Upon entering the classroom, he sees over 40 people seated inside.

Xing Zhe says:

”Come, Yang Xiao, let me introduce you, this is Brother Jiang En, a senior at Wuji Academy, ranked 26th on the Great Combat Power ranking among our academy’s 108 Emperor Level realm seniors.”

Wuji Academy’s 108 Emperor Level Evolvers have a power ranking humorously dubbed the ”Great Combat Power Ranking.”

On this ranking, Chu Tian is positioned at 38, Xing Zhe at 32, and Jiang En at 26.

Jiang En is tall and burly, with a kind demeanor and elegant demeanor.

Birds of a feather flock together.

Seeing Jiang En, Yang Xiao understands why Xing Zhe is friends with Jiang En; both are the friendly type.

Jiang En reaches out to shake Yang Xiao’s hand, smiling as he says:

”You must be Yang Xiao? I’ve heard Xing Zhe mention you often. Meeting you today, you’re indeed remarkable.

Wow, Yang Xiao, you’re incredible, entering the academy as an Emperor Level realm, which is rare in the near-century history of Wuji Academy.

Plus, you lucked into Villa 68 upon arrival, that’s quite something. We need to rub off some of your good fortune in the future.”

Yang Xiao smiles and says:

”Greetings, Brother Jiang En. I’m new here, so please take care of me, Brother Jiang En.”

”Haha, no problem, we’re all brothers here. Here, meet these two as well. My brother Jiang Hao,”

Jiang En points to a handsome young man by his side.

Jiang Hao grins and shakes hands with Yang Xiao,

”Hi, I’m Jiang Hao, not Jiang En’s blood brother; this guy tells everyone I’m his brother. I wonder if their family fortune is half mine, haha!”

Jiang En taps Jiang Hao’s shoulder,

”You rascal, I see you’re worthy, I honor you, and you’re still not content. One day as a brother, forever as a father,”

”Brother Yang, you see, this is Jiang En’s goal, taking advantage of me. Don’t let him sway you; if he asks to make you a brother one day, don’t agree. I was fooled.”

”You brat, dare me to smack you!”

”Haha...”

Yang Xiao: ”....”

Yang Xiao watches dumbfounded as Jiang En and Jiang Hao banter, never imagining that these Emperor Level realm fighters are so harmonious and humorous, just like regular people.

Xing Zhe calls over a tall, striking woman with exceptional presence,

”Lv Ling, let me introduce you, this is Yang Xiao.”

Yang Xiao noticed this stunning woman in black when entering because her strong aura was so captivating, standing out like a crane among chickens in the classroom of over 40.

”Hello, Miss Lv Ling!”

Yang Xiao extends his hand.

Lv Ling glances at Yang Xiao but doesn’t reach out, just remarks calmly:

”You’re Yang Xiao?”

”What, Lv Ling, do you admire Yang Xiao?”

Xing Zhe jokes playfully.

Lv Ling scoffs,

”Haha, yes, I heard he snatched Mei Lan’s Villa 68 upon arriving. Who in the academy hasn’t heard of Yang Xiao these days?”

Yang Xiao feels a bit awkward; damn, does Lv Ling also hold a grudge over Villa 68? How many people have I offended?

A glance from Xing Zhe urges an explanation to Yang Xiao:

”Lv Ling, Yang Xiao got Villa 68 through proper procedures, don’t blame him.”

”Hmph, how can I blame him? He’s the academy’s once-a-century talent, entering as Emperor Level. The leaders must value him greatly.”

Yang Xiao’s face turns awkward as he lets out a wry smile.

Jiang En chuckles:

”Yang Xiao, don’t mind. Lv Ling and Mei Lan are close friends; hearing you got Villa 68, she naturally sticks up for her friend,

So, let’s end this here. Lv Ling, don’t let this affect our team unity.”

Lv Ling laughs:

”Got it, boss, don’t worry. I know how to weigh priorities.”

Another glance towards Yang Xiao.

Yang Xiao merely gives a wry smile, opting to ignore Lv Ling.

Jiang En then gathers Xing Zhe, Jiang Hao, Lv Ling, and Yang Xiao to stand in front, addressing the 38 sitting below:

”Brothers and sisters, hello, I’m Jiang En, captain of the Jiang En Hunting Team. This is vice-captain Xing Zhe, and these are Jiang Hao, Lv Ling, and Yang Xiao, all Emperor Level realm warriors and key team leaders.

We’ve gathered you today to get acquainted for better communication during the upcoming hunting activities.”
