Super Gene Hunting Ground

Gu Yezhi and Guluo, the Great Elder of the Heavenly Dragon Clan, left Nolan Ancient City.

To Gu Yezhi, Nolan Ancient City was filled with an air of decay and backwardness, no longer in tune with the development trends of the Dwarf Star Continent.

On the way back, Guluo said with a hint of melancholy:

”Young Mistress, the Wind Eagle Tribe is still the core of our Ancient Clan. Although we have annulled the engagement, don’t humiliate them too much. If there’s a chance in the future, give them a hand. After all, we share the same roots and origin as the Ancient Clan.”

Gu Yezhi replied indifferently:

”From now on, the Ancient Clan must center around our Heavenly Dragon Tribe. Only under our leadership can the Ancient Clan be revitalized. When I succeed one day, I will prove to everyone that my choice was not wrong.”

Guluo glanced at the young lady walking in front, shook his head slightly, feeling that he had grown old. The future belonged to the younger generation.

Gai Shaoying dashed out of the Ancient Clan courtyard, sprinting all the way to the valley outside the city, where he frantically punched a towering tree.

He did not use the power of Genetic Evolution Energy, relying only on his fists to strike the tree, as he tormented himself, punishing himself.

After a few punches, his skin split open, and blood blurred the surface.

”Why? Why? Why—”

Gai Shaoying manically punched the tree while hysterically screaming, tears streaming down.

Finally, exhausted, his hands covered in blood, he knelt on the ground, sobbing uncontrollably.

Gai Shaoying was once a prodigy of the Wind Eagle Clan, breaking through to the King Level Realm at thirteen. But ever since a serious illness several years ago, his Genetic Evolution had halted, as if hitting a ceiling, with no progress.

Initially, Gu Yezhi, as a talented beauty of the Heavenly Dragon Clan, agreed to the engagement because of his potential for development.

But who could have thought that the prodigious journey of this youth would abruptly end?

”The strong go to defeat opponents; only the weak come here to hit tree trunks and torment themselves.”

A voice came through.

Gai Shaoying abruptly turned back, seeing Yang Xiao.

”You, who are you?”

Gai Shaoying felt Yang Xiao looked familiar but couldn’t recall where they had met.

”Want to become strong? I can help you.”

”You?”

Gai Shaoying looked at Yang Xiao with skepticism.

Yang Xiao smiled faintly, extended his palm towards the tree Gai Shaoying had just been punching.

A surge of overwhelming strength erupted, enveloping the entire tree.

Accompanied by cracking sounds, the tens of meters high tree shrank like dough, eventually forming a massive sphere.

Yang Xiao released his hand, and the sphere slowly fractured, collapsing into wood chip dust.

Gai Shaoying stood with mouth agape and eyes wide open, his inner shock indescribable.

If he hadn’t seen it with his own eyes, he’d never believe there could be someone so powerful in this world.

Breaking that tree with one hand was easy, but to turn a tens of meters tall tree into dust from dozens of meters away, there was no one in Gai Shaoying’s world who could do it.

”You, would you really be willing to help me?”

”That depends on whether you’re capable. If you’re just a person who cries and self-harms on the ground, not even an immortal can help you.”

”Thud!”

Gai Shaoying knelt in front of Yang Xiao,

”As long as you make me strong, I, Gai Shaoying, can endure anything, endure any hardship.”

Yang Xiao nodded, then said:

”In the Wind Eagle Evolution Technique, Body Refinement, Bone Forging, Yijin, Marrow Cleansing, which step have you reached?”

Gai Shaoying paused, looking at Yang Xiao,

”How do you know about our Ancient Clan’s Wind Eagle Divine Skill?”

”Less talking, answer me.”

”I’ve only cultivated to the Yijin.”

”So, you’re stuck at the Marrow Cleansing, right?”

Gai Shaoying nodded,

”Three years ago, I suffered a serious illness. Ever since, whenever I cultivate the Marrow Cleansing Technique, my whole body is in extreme pain, a fate worse than death. I can’t endure the Marrow Cleansing, so my Genetic Evolution realm hasn’t advanced.”

Yang Xiao nodded,

”Since you haven’t completed the Marrow Cleansing, you naturally can’t break through to the Empire Level. Doesn’t your Ancient Clan have some Evolution Energy resources? Like Energy Spring Water or something?”

Gai Shaoying looked embarrassed and said:

”Our Ancient Clan’s Genetic Evolution Spring Water has long dried up, and our tribe doesn’t have enough strength. Now, it’s even hard to hunt Demon Beasts at the Empire Level Advanced realm.”

”Sigh, no wonder your Ancient Clan would decline. Without high-level Demon Beast crystal cores, Genetic Evolution Spring Water, a proper school, or professional evolution auxiliary equipment, how can you cultivate an Extraordinary Expert.”

Gai Shaoying bit his lip, looked at Yang Xiao, and said nothing.

Genetic evolution requires both extraordinary talent and powerful resources; missing either makes it impossible to cultivate an Extraordinary Expert.

”Ask your father for a leave, say you want to travel and unwind. I will help you break through to the Empire Level Advanced realm within three months; the rest of the journey is up to you.”

”What? Three months, help me break through to the Empire Level Advanced realm? Are you joking?”

”Do I look like I’m joking?

You’re already a waste; don’t you dare to gamble? It’s just three months.”

The last sentence left Gai Shaoying totally ashamed.

”Fine, as long as you help me break through to the Empire Level, I accept even if I have to give you my life.”

”Go prepare. Meet me here at 9 a.m. tomorrow. Don’t be late.”

”How should I address you, senior?”

”I don’t want to be your master; you’re too foolish. Calling me big brother, I don’t want such a useless younger brother either,”

Gai Shaoying: ”...”

He really wanted to find a hole to crawl into.

”Just call me senior, you’ll know my name some other day.”

”Yes, senior.”

Gai Shaoying kowtowed three times to Yang Xiao, then ran back toward the city.

The flame of hope burned within him. If he could break through to the Empire Level Advanced realm in three months, he’d personally go to the Heavenly Dragon Tribe to humiliate Gu Yezhi,

”I want her to see how blind she is. Even if she begs on her knees to marry me, I won’t agree.”

Yang Xiao watched Gai Shaoying’s departing figure, sighing.

With his abilities, Yang Xiao could have directly acquired the Totem Jade Token from Gai Cheng of the Wind Eagle Clan, but he remembered Gu Bo.

No matter how you say it, Gu Bo was a guide on Yang Xiao’s path of Genetic Evolution, a benefactor.

Without Gu Bo, there’d be no Yang Xiao today, and Yang Xiao wouldn’t have the ability to save Earth in the end,

He intended to repay this kindness to Gu Bo.
