Super Gene Hunting Ground

Yang Xiao and Xing Zhe soared into the sky, flying swiftly under the starry sky.

The two had been trapped in the Underground Tunnel for four or five months. Escaping now truly felt like a bird soaring into the sky or a fish leaping into the ocean.

Moreover, both had made significant progress in the Underground River Tunnel, especially Yang Xiao, who had advanced from Emperor Level Primary Level Realm to nearly Intermediate Realm, feeling extremely excited.

The distance of seventy to eighty kilometers was merely a few minutes for two Transcendent experts at the Emperor Level.

While flying in the air, the two encountered an attack from dozens of Night Hawk Demon Beasts, and momentarily excited, they defeated more than ten Empire Level Realm Night Hawk Demon Beasts single-handedly.

Yang Xiao stored one of the Night Hawk Demon Beasts in the Space Ring.

Xing Zhe laughed and said,

”Yang Xiao, you have quite the appetite?”

”It’s so late, let’s go back for a barbecue and have a midnight snack. I’ve eaten fish every day in the Underground River Tunnel to the point of nausea, and we had no salt either.”

The salt they carried ran out in a month, and the following months had no salt or seasonings. Although the Flying Fish contained powerful Evolution Energy, without salt, eating it daily made Yang Xiao vomit several times.

Hearing this, Xing Zhe’s mouth watered as well.

”Absolutely, my mouth is tasteless. Once back at the academy, let’s have a barbecue at my villa. I still have a few bottles of good wine, let’s not rest until we’re drunk.”

”Sure!”

Having been through life and death together in the Underground River Tunnel, the two had long become sworn brothers.

Moments later, they arrived at the square in front of Wuji Academy’s main gate.

It was already late at night, most of the students were resting, with only a few taking advantage of the night to go hunting within fifty kilometers of the academy.

There were more Demon Beasts at night than during the day, but the environment for hunting was also more dangerous.

Night hunting is a great training method to hone an Evolver’s overall combat ability.

The academy gate still had a few people going in and out.

Yang Xiao walked to the gate, took out the orange Identity Jade, and tried to open the Defensive Light Curtain Gate.

”Buzz buzz buzz!”

The Defensive Light Curtain Gate sounded an alarm.

Yang Xiao was stunned,

”What’s going on?”

Xing Zhe thought for a moment and said,

”The information shows that your academy Identity Card has been prohibited from use.”

”Why?”

Yang Xiao looked at Xing Zhe in confusion.

Xing Zhe said nothing, took out his own Identity Jade and swiped it at the Defensive Light Curtain Gate.

”Buzz buzz buzz!”

The same alarm sounded.

Both stood stunned.

Upon hearing the alarm, a guard on duty at night ran over, glanced coldly at Yang Xiao and Xing Zhe, and said,

”What’s the situation?”

Xing Zhe raised his orange Jade and said,

”No idea why our Identity Jade has been prohibited from use.”

The guard’s previously indifferent attitude, with a look of disdain, instantly turned perplexed upon seeing Xing Zhe’s orange Jade.

These guards are Wuji Academy’s Intermediate College Department students rotating for duty, very familiar with students’ Identity Jades, especially the orange Jade, a symbol of Emperor Level evolvers.

Wuji Academy’s 108 Emperor Level evolvers have great reputations, but ordinary people rarely see them, especially those from the Primary Level and Intermediate Departments who have hardly any chance to meet someone like Xing Zhe.

Seeing Xing Zhe’s orange Jade, the guard’s face instantly showed a respectful smile,

”Senior, you are?”

”I am Xing Zhe from the Advanced Academy Department, you can verify my Jade and see what’s wrong. Both our Jades have been prohibited from use.”

Xing Zhe handed the orange Jade to the guard.

The guard respectfully received the orange Jade with both hands.

”Senior, please wait a moment. Maybe there’s an issue with the academy’s system, I’ll check at the security room.”

Xing Zhe nodded:

”Alright”

”Please wait, brothers.”

The guard dashed back to the nearby duty room and reported the situation to the duty team leader.

The duty team leader slid Xing Zhe’s Jade Pendant over a device, revealing the Jade’s identity information immediately.

”Holy crap, it’s Xing Zhe. Didn’t the academy announce he was blown up by a Nuclear Generator at Cultivation Field 101? He’s been missing for more than five months, and his Identity Jade permissions were prohibited by the academy two months ago.”

Listening to this, the duty team leader suddenly glanced outside the window, asking,

”Is it the real person? Could it be someone picked up the Jade at the accident scene?”

”Captain, I’m unsure, what should we do?”

”If it’s really Xing Zhe, it would be huge news for the academy tomorrow.”

”What if it’s not him and someone picked up Xing Zhe’s Jade?”

”Humph, then he’s looking for trouble, daring to use Wuji Academy’s deceased student’s Identity Card to pull a con, he’s asking for death!”

”Immediately notify a team of guards to come to the gate, stabilize the two, and I’ll go into the academy to find someone to confirm.”

”Captain, joking, right? They’re Emperor Level. Among the academy’s 108 Transcendent experts, you want us to stabilize them? If they get angry, we’d fly through the air one by one;

You know how temperamental those Transcendents are, each arrogant as hell. I dare not provoke them.”

The duty team leader glared at the guard,

”You’ve got guts. Even if it’s really Xing Zhe, what can he do? This is Wuji Academy’s gate, can he overturn the heavens here?

Go call a team of guards to surround them. If something happens, I’ll take responsibility.”

The guard looked at the team leader, hesitatingly said:

”Captain, I’ll go into the academy to find a leader, you take people to surround them. I, I really dare not.”

”You?”

The captain disdainfully eyed the guard, scolding,

”Useless thing, go into the academy, find Lin Qu, Director Lin.”

”It’s so late, hasn’t Director Lin slept yet?”

”...”

The captain gave the subordinate an exasperated glance, wanting to chide but realized the guard wasn’t unreasonable, so said:

”Then go find the Chief of Guards, Barro. Barro should know Xing Zhe personally. I’ve heard him bragging about knowing all 108 Emperor students.”

”Alright, I’ll find Chief Barro.”

The guard entered the academy through a door in the duty booth, running swiftly.

The duty team leader stood up, slightly flushed.

During his shift, he had had a few drinks with snacks, feeling slightly tipsy.

”Damn, these guys boast but I don’t buy it. This gate is mine, this is my territory, everyone coming here must listen to me.”

The duty team leader walked out of the security room, calling to a patrol team nearby:

”Xiao Zhao, bring the Brothers over.”
