Super Gene Hunting Ground

Yang Xiao noticed that the atmosphere was a bit unusual today as he walked out with Xiao Ling, attracting an exceptionally high amount of attention.

Before, Xiao Ling would deliberately keep some distance from Yang Xiao, but not today. She maintained a quite intimate distance, almost linking arms with Yang Xiao as they walked.

Anyone looking from any angle would think the two of them were a couple.

At Flying Leopard Academy, everyone was free to date, and no one would ridicule a teacher and student for being in a relationship.

When they reached the cafeteria, it became even more lively.

Xiao Ling attracted everyone’s attention as she appeared.

”Wow, so beautiful!”

”The goddess Xiao Ling truly is a goddess, really stunning.”

Then Yang Xiao realized, everyone’s eyes shifted to him, making him feel uncomfortable all over.

The two found a seat, Xiao Ling said:

”You sit here, I’ll go get you lunch.”

Yang Xiao nodded, and didn’t stand up to say ”I’ll do it” or anything like that, instead, he sat down naturally like a lord, waiting for Xiao Ling to buy him lunch.

When Xiao Ling returned with two lunch sets, Yang Xiao could feel hundreds of jealous eyes around as if they wanted to kill him.

Everyone else pampers the goddess, yet Yang Xiao sat like a lord at the table, waiting for Xiao Ling to buy him lunch.

The thing is, Xiao Ling happily bought lunch for Yang Xiao, with a blissful smile on her face.

”What the heck, who is that guy? He actually snatched away my dream goddess.”

”Don’t you recognize him? That’s Yang Xiao, the guy who participated in the life-or-death arena yesterday and killed Qin Yue.”

”No wonder he could get our goddess teacher’s favor.”

”I heard Xiao Ling is Yang Xiao’s teacher, and Yang Xiao once defeated Xiao Ling in a mock exam.”

”Isn’t Yang Xiao extraordinary?”

”The guy has skills, do you? Since you don’t, all you can do is watch your goddess teacher being courted by someone else.”

”It’s said the goddess teacher rejected countless suitors, yet didn’t expect to be conquered by this guy, impressive!”

...

Yang Xiao glanced at Xiao Ling, saying:

”You look so beautiful today.”

Xiao Ling smiled, held her head high looking at Yang Xiao,

”Isn’t it good?”

”Good, of course good. You’re the academy’s acknowledged goddess teacher. Only now, I’ve become an object of jealousy, admiration, and resentment for no reason. I guess I won’t live long.”

”Pfft!”

Xiao Ling chuckled softly and lowered her head to eat.

Xiao Ling had long been accustomed to being pointed at by nearby people wherever she appeared, and she never concealed her beauty or figure. She displayed herself as she pleased, without caring about others’ remarks.

She lived very freely.

Even if she often candidly pointed out people or things she disliked, earning the nickname ’sharp-tongued,’ people around didn’t hate her for it.

Everyone knew her straightforward, daring, loving nature, with no hidden depths or schemes.

Yang Xiao had become a topic of discussion for killing Qin Yue yesterday, and now, because of looking like a couple with goddess Xiao Ling, he had gained explosive attention.

Yang Xiao felt a bit uncomfortable.

”I guess I won’t be able to live peacefully anymore; the guys who secretly admire you might organize a team to hunt me down.”

Xiao Ling laughed heartily and said:

”Hehe, good, then there’s a show to watch. Let’s see how you escape their pursuit, and see how many people secretly admire me.”

Yang Xiao noticed Xiao Ling had a very strong psychological mindset regarding this and wasn’t like an ordinary person who felt bashful.

”Well, I’ll be sticking with you for a while, staying at your place every day. You need to keep me safe.”

”No way.”

Xiao Ling remembered today’s awkward shower incident and decisively rejected Yang Xiao.

”What if I’m assassinated by Qin Xiaotian or killed by those who secretly admire you? What then? You’ll regret it too late.”

”Why would I regret?”

Xiao Ling smiled at Yang Xiao.

Yang Xiao was annoyed by her and blurted out:

”Your figure is really amazing,”

Before he finished speaking, he felt a sharp pain in his calf, causing him to grimace, almost crying out.

Xiao Ling kicked Yang Xiao hard under the table, smiling warmly and said:

”Speak up, keep talking, see if I don’t kick you to death.”

Yang Xiao looked at Xiao Ling angrily, but could only lower his head and admit defeat, quickly eating his meal.

Xiao Ling won, feeling happy inside, and placed a large piece of meat on Yang Xiao’s plate.

Yang Xiao looked up at Xiao Ling.

Xiao Ling laughed and said:

”I don’t like eating meat.”

”Is this your secret to maintaining your figure?”

Xiao Ling giggled and continued putting large chunks of meat from her own plate onto Yang Xiao’s plate.

Yang Xiao immediately felt a dozen guys at the tables around them looking at him with eyes full of resentment.

Xiao Ling’s public display of affection was really attracting hatred.

If looks could kill, Yang Xiao would have died countless times by now.

But, Yang Xiao being a normal person, also enjoyed that vanity, and quickly adjusted his mindset, shamelessly eating, even grabbing some vegetables for Xiao Ling with his chopsticks.

Xiao Ling didn’t refuse and naturally ate the food that Yang Xiao picked for her.

Then, a chubby boy at a nearby table called out loudly:

”Ugh, I can’t eat anymore. Watching them show off their love makes this single dog want to die.”

The boy opposite him immediately picked up a piece of meat and placed it on the chubby boy’s plate, saying:

”Chubby Bro, don’t be upset, I’ll pick food for you.”

”Get lost, I don’t like men.”

”Haha....”

Laughter erupted around them.

Xiao Ling naturally knew they were laughing at her, and her face blushed slightly as she lowered her head to eat.

Yang Xiao noticed the obvious smile on her face, without a hint of embarrassment, instead looking very sweet.

He thought, how thick-skinned could this Xiao Ling girl be!

What if Xiao Ling really falls for me and chases me, I surely wouldn’t be able to handle it.

After eating, Xiao Ling said she would take Yang Xiao to the academy’s gene testing room for a comprehensive analysis to determine the future attribute direction of genetic evolution.

The two arrived at an independent courtyard in the academy, with a sign hanging at the entrance,

”Flying Leopard Academy Gene Testing Center”

Here, doing a gene testing analysis required paying a million Crystal Coins.

Yang Xiao swiped his card, paid the money, and then entered a room where a tester filled out a form, which was nothing but name, gender, age, current Genetic Evolution Level, etc., drew a vial of Yang Xiao’s blood, and then told Yang Xiao to come back in three days to get the results.

Xiao Ling then took Yang Xiao to a special place, the Gene Enhancement Practice Room.

Here, there were dozens of such practice rooms, big and small. From the outside, these practice rooms looked like huge glass houses, surrounded by a Defense Light Screen in a transparent state.

Each of these practice rooms could seat over a hundred people.

Yang Xiao looked and saw dozens of people sitting cross-legged, closing their eyes to cultivate.

”What’s this for?”

”These Gene Enhancement Practice Rooms are equipped with special particle beams. When you’re inside, even if you do nothing, these particle beams penetrate your body, gradually influencing and changing the genetic makeup within.”

”If you couple it with practicing our Flying Leopard Academy’s specialized gene enhancement Cultivation Method and taking specific elixirs, it can have a multiplier effect, constantly elevating your Genetic Evolution Space.”

”Besides, these practice rooms vary in Level, starting with Room 1 here, and then lined up as Room 2, Room 3... Room 1 has the lowest particle beam concentration, and the rest increase gradually. Initially, you can only cultivate in Room 1 for at least a month before moving on to Room 2, Room 3, and so on.”

”Ah, I see. This is probably the core asset of Flying Leopard Academy, right?”

”You’re right, there are 28 practice rooms in total, each worth over ten billion Crystal Coins. Furthermore, building such a practice room is very difficult, requiring various materials, machinery, and the assistance of Rune Masters, among other things. It’s not something just money can build.”

”Have you completed cultivation in all 28 practice rooms then?”

”Of course, I spent 3 years cultivating in all 28 practice rooms.”

”Generally, even someone of average talent, as long as they cultivate through all 28 practice rooms with the necessary Evolution resources, can break through to the Empire Level Realm.”

Xiao Ling took Yang Xiao to a nearby shop to buy him a Jade Slip of the Flying Leopard Academy’s gene enhancement Cultivation Method and a bottle of Supportive Elixir.

The Cultivation Jade Slip cost 100,000 Crystal Coins, and you only needed to hold it in your palm to automatically convert the Cultivation Method stored in the slip into a light stream that enters your mind.

The Supportive Elixir must be taken before entering the practice room to prevent particle beam harm to the body, requiring one pill per hour.

These elixirs cost 10,000 Crystal Coins each, available only here and nowhere else.

Yang Xiao could only sigh at how exploitative this business was.

In addition, a specialized set of Training Clothes must be purchased for 100,000 Crystal Coins.

This clothing’s function is also filtering the particle beams, mitigating their harm to the body.

Yang Xiao learned the gene enhancement Cultivation Method, changed into the clothing, ate a pill, took out his Identity Card to swipe, and entered Room 1.

Yang Xiao found a place to sit down, preparing to cultivate the gene enhancement Cultivation Method.

Xiao Ling also changed clothes and came in, sitting beside Yang Xiao.

”Why did you come in?”

”To accompany you, forgot to tell you, the practice room charges fees.”

”Ah, how does it charge?”

”It’s 100,000 Crystal Coins per hour.”

”What the hell, this is practically a robbery, why don’t they just rob people, I want to complain.”

Xiao Ling: ”...”

Many people around were cultivating, and hearing Yang Xiao’s words, they chuckled and shook their heads.

Yang Xiao now realized why the poor couldn’t study here, which poor person could afford it?

”Then you should leave, don’t waste money staying with me.”

”I’m a tutor, it’s free.”

Yang Xiao: ”Then I should borrow your Jade Token to use it in the future.”

”Haha, if they find out, I’d be immediately fired, would you be so heartless?”

”In that case, never mind, if you got fired, I’d be quite sad.”

”Looks like you have some conscience.”

”I mean, if you lost that job, you’d cling to me, and I can’t afford to support you, so I’d be sad.”

Upon hearing this, Xiao Ling cursed ”heartless” and pinched Yang Xiao’s arm.

Yang Xiao screamed ”Ah”.

A girl not far behind glared at them, muttering softly:

”If you two want to show off your love, do it outside, don’t disturb our cultivation, okay?”

Yang Xiao chuckled and prepared to cultivate.

Xiao Ling was so furious that she glared hard at Yang Xiao.
