Super Gene Hunting Ground

The news of Yang Xiao accepting Gao Yue’s challenge quickly spread throughout the academy.

At the same time, gossip about Qin Yue challenging Yang Xiao also continued to ferment.

”The two are fighting over a woman, I heard it’s a newly arrived beauty.”

”Is Qin Yue that desperate? What beauty hasn’t he had a fling with? There are dozens of women in our academy alone who have ambiguous relations with him. Why would he challenge someone over a single woman?”

”You don’t understand, it’s ’Enraged for a beauty’s sake’. This is the first time Young Master Qin failed to woo a girl. He lost to an unknown guy and naturally wants to regain some face in the arena.”

”Is that woman really beautiful?”

”I’ve seen her. Her figure, looks, and temperament are all first-class. No wonder Qin Yue is jealous.”

...

In a VIP room at the academy’s Genetic Store, Qin Yue continuously drank Wisdom Attribute Genetic Potions.

For him, the Four Attributes of Strength, Agility, and Defense were already at 100 points. Only his Wisdom attribute was short by 1 point to break through 100 points.

Qin Yue’s talent in Genetic Evolution is actually quite good, plus he has a strong family background. He received the support of Genetic Transformation Techniques from a young age, supplemented by massive resources,

so Qin Yue’s rate of Genetic Evolution is faster than many people.

This is despite him being relatively lazy and not very diligent in cultivation.

His older brother Qin Xiaotian, only two years his senior, is already at the Empire Level Primary Level Peak, close to breaking through to the Empire Middle Level Realm.

After consuming a large amount of Wisdom Genetic Potions, a beam of light flashed above Qin Yue’s head, and he successfully broke through to the Empire Level Realm.

Han Po, Shi Gandang, and a few other close friends immediately cheered.

”Yeah, the boss did it.”

”The boss is awesome.”

”Shh, keep it down. Before the boss’s challenge match with Yang Xiao, no one should leak the news about the boss breaking through to the Empire Level Realm, understand?”

Qin Yue glanced at the Genetic Attribute System in his mind and smiled faintly.

He not only broke through to the Empire Level Primary Level Realm but also discovered a new Soul Skill.

”Hmph, Yang Xiao, you’re only at the King Level Realm. How can you fight against me? Three days later, I’ll kill you in front of Yelu Caiyun. Let’s see if Yelu Caiyun will cry out of sorrow then, hehe....”

...

After Yang Xiao publicly announced his acceptance of Qin Yue’s challenge, he returned to the library, as if nothing had happened.

Yelu Caiyun, Gao Lou, Chen Cangshan, and others were very worried about Yang Xiao.

”Yang Xiao, did you notice? Chen Cangshan’s challenge letter states that no weapons can be used, and you must rely on your skills to fight.”

”Hmm, I saw it. So what?”

”I heard from Han Po that Qin Yue could have broken through to the Empire Level Realm half a year ago, but he deliberately held back to enjoy a few more years. You should be careful.”

”Hmm.”

Yang Xiao just nodded and continued reading.

Gao Lou and the others were helpless, anxiously unable to help.

Yang Xiao suddenly looked up and glanced at everyone,

”Don’t crowd around me. Either go read those books or leave the library and mind your own business. There’s no need to worry about me.”

Gao Lou and others sighed, shook their heads, and left one by one.

Yelu Caiyun, due to attending the academy’s gene enhancement training and cultivation, left after saying a few words to Yang Xiao.

Yang Xiao didn’t know how much time passed when he suddenly felt a chill behind him. He turned to see it was the sharp-tongued, beautiful Master Xiao Ling.

”Oh, Master Xiao, you’re here?”

Xiao Ling sat opposite Yang Xiao, looking at him with an unusual expression in her eyes.

Since the last time Bing’er told Master Xiao that Yang Xiao drank too much at Yelu Caiyun’s house, Xiao Ling hadn’t come to the library to find Yang Xiao for several days. Naturally, there were no late-night snacks either.

Yang Xiao smiled and said:

”What kind of look is that? You haven’t brought me any snacks these days. Do you remember how many I’m owed?”

”Can’t you eat and drink to your heart’s content at Yelu Caiyun’s place every day? There’s someone to make snacks for you. Do you still need me to buy them?”

Yang Xiao was taken aback and said very seriously,

”Master Xiao, you misunderstood. I’ve only been there twice, and one time was for Yelu Caiyun’s birthday. Gao Lou, Chen Cangshan, and a few others were there too. If you don’t believe me, ask them.”

Hearing Yang Xiao’s explanation, Xiao Ling felt a sudden sense of relief, but she said lightly,

”Why does your visit to Yelu Caiyun’s matter to me? Do I need to ask?

By the way, congratulations on becoming famous in our academy now that Young Master Qin Yue challenged you. Fighting with Qin Yue over a girl, you’ve reached a life and death challenge stage. You’ve really achieved something.”

Yang Xiao’s face turned awkwardly red,

”Master Xiao, you know I’m not that kind of person.”

”Sorry, I don’t really know you, but I have heard some rumors about Yelu Caiyun.”

Xiao Ling couldn’t stand even looking at how Yelu Caiyun got into Flying Leopard Academy through connections, let alone accept that she uses her beauty to mingle with rich young masters.

Yang Xiao felt obliged to speak a few words for Yelu Caiyun, also as a defense for himself.

”Master Xiao, actually you misunderstood Yelu Caiyun. She’s not how you think. Many of the rumors outside are unfounded and unbelievable.”

”Oh, then tell me, what kind of woman is Yelu Caiyun?”

”She... she’s a pure woman.”

Xiao Ling gave Yang Xiao a side-eye right away.

Yang Xiao: ”...”

Xiao Ling stood up and said lightly,

”Seems like you’ve fallen into the comfort of romance and been completely captivated by Yelu Caiyun.”

”Nonsense, she and I are just classmates, purely classmates.”

Yang Xiao stated firmly.

Hearing this, Xiao Ling paused for a moment, then giggled,

”Purely classmates relationship?”

”Yes,”

Yang Xiao nodded,

”Don’t think I’m so complicated. I’m a very pure person, although I am a bit handsome.”

Xiao Ling was initially stunned, then burst into laughter, clutching the desk and laughing until her stomach hurt.

Yang Xiao looked at her, bewildered.

Xiao Ling finally stopped laughing, glanced at Yang Xiao, and couldn’t help laughing again.

Yang Xiao could only mutter in his heart, ”Damn, what’s so funny about that?”

”Alright, Yang Xiao, you really crack me up. Okay, in honor of your purity, I’ll give you a piece of news.”

”What?”

”Qin Yue could have broken through to the Empire Level half a year ago. This time to challenge you, he probably went to the Genetic Store to break through to the Empire Level Realm. Although you’re strong, fighting him without using Divine Weapons might be tough. Be careful.”

After saying that, Xiao Ling turned to leave.

Yang Xiao stood up and said,

”Thank you. I didn’t expect you to be silently concerned about me all along.”

”Stop joking. I just don’t want my student to die in the arena over a romantic rivalry.”

After saying that, Xiao Ling walked forward two steps.

Yang Xiao called out to her back,

”Actually, you have a beautiful smile.”

Xiao Ling paused, with a bit of a smug smile on her face, and said lightly,

”Did you just realize? Carry on!”

Xiao Ling’s tone was full of pride and confidence. After saying that, she whipped her long hair and walked briskly away.

Yang Xiao watched Xiao Ling’s disappearing beautiful silhouette and murmured,

”Damn, just a casual compliment, feeling so good about herself? Carry on! What does that mean?”
