Super Gene Hunting Ground

Yang Xiao sat in Practice Room No. 1, feeling as if his body was being penetrated by some invisible substance, a tingling sensation coursing through him.

Focusing inward, the genetic enhancement cultivation technique from Flying Leopard Academy automatically appeared in his consciousness, as if he had already practiced it many times.

Silently familiarizing himself with it twice, Yang Xiao began to run the cultivation technique as instructed.

As soon as the genetic enhancement cultivation technique started running, the tingling sensation in his body became more intense, as if thousands of ants were gently biting his skin.

Moreover, this tingling feeling gradually moved from the outside in, from the skin to the muscles, tendons, bones, bone marrow, and internal organs.

Eventually, his entire body was in a state of tingling.

In the practice room, there was a timer that sounded once every hour, reminding everyone to take the supportive elixir.

Although everyone entered at different times, once the timer emitted a sound, everyone would consciously take a supportive elixir.

The supportive elixir not only helped the body resist the damage from the particle beam, but also added ingredients that aided in enhancing the evolution energy, strengthening the tingling sensation once taken.

Yang Xiao practiced inside for five hours and emerged at six in the evening.

At a rate of 100,000 crystal coins per hour, five hours amounted to 500,000 crystal coins.

”It’s really expensive.”

Yang Xiao sighed internally, but walking out of the practice room, he felt his body unusually light and his senses sharpened.

This made Yang Xiao quite happy,

”Even though the practice room is quite expensive, the results are top-notch.”

Xiao Ling had left at some point, as she had official business and couldn’t accompany Yang Xiao all day; she was only there to familiarize him with the surroundings today.

After Yang Xiao entered the state in the practice room, Xiao Ling quietly left.

After a simple dinner, Yang Xiao continued to the practice room to cultivate.

The practice room was open from 9 a.m. to 12 p.m., 1 p.m. to 6 p.m., and 8 p.m. to 12 a.m.

Yang Xiao practiced until midnight before coming out.

As he stepped out of the practice room, he saw Xiao Ling waiting at the door.

”Hmm, why did you come?”

”I came to pick you up, acting as your bodyguard.”

Outside the practice room courtyard there were two Golden Armor Guards and ten Silver Armor Guards defending, along with several management staff.

It could be said that Yang Xiao was safe while practicing inside, and Xiao Ling felt at ease leaving him there.

Yang Xiao practiced for a total of 9 hours today, spending 900,000 crystal coins just on the practice room, plus the purchase of secret technique manuals, elixirs, and clothes, totaling over a million crystal coins.

When Yang Xiao left Purple Origin Star, his Black Crystal Card had 10 billion crystal coins, spending two billion on slum reconstruction in the Great Dragon Empire, and some of his usual expenses, leaving over seven billion crystal coins, with no immediate need to worry about crystal coins.

Xiao Ling saw Yang Xiao’s carefree willingness to spend a million crystal coins today and laughed:

”I didn’t realize you were a little rich man.”

”Sigh, what rich man? Spending like this, I estimate I won’t hold out for long.”

”Don’t worry, if you run out of money, I’ll lend you some. I still have a billion crystal coins.”

Yang Xiao initially intended to complain about being broke, but hearing Xiao Ling’s offer to lend him money, he felt a bit embarrassed and smiled awkwardly:

”Thank you, but I’m not short of money for now.”

The two walked towards the tutor dormitory area, stopping by the cafeteria where Xiao Ling bought supper for Yang Xiao.

”You’re in a phase of cultivating and enhancing, you need more nutrition.”

This touched Yang Xiao,

”You’re only buying one, aren’t you eating?”

”Have you ever seen me eat supper?”

”Maintaining your figure means missing out on delicious food?”

”Hehe, I don’t want to become a chubby lady.”

The two returned to Xiao Ling’s dormitory; Yang Xiao ate supper at the dining table while Xiao Ling sat nearby watching him eat.

”Have you never seen a handsome guy?”

Xiao Ling rolled her eyes at Yang Xiao, got up to leave, went to the bathroom taking a shower, wearing a loose sleepwear, her hair flowing casually, emanating a fresh post-bath scent.

”I’m going to sleep, take your time eating, goodnight.”

”Will you be able to sleep at night?”

”Why wouldn’t I?”

”You sleep comfortably in bed alone while I pitifully sleep on the sofa, doesn’t your conscience feel uneasy?”

”Pfft!”

Xiao Ling laughed heartily.

”What kind of logic is that, clearly I’ve sacrificed my reputation and innocence to take you in, and you turn it against me, making my conscience uneasy, hmph, bad guy.”

Xiao Ling finished speaking, turned and entered the room, closing the door to sleep.

Yang Xiao watched the door closed by Xiao Ling, sighed, and continued eating supper.

He wasn’t seeking anything inappropriate, he just found being alone in the living room boring.

For three consecutive days, Yang Xiao practiced genetic enhancement cultivation technique in the practice room.

He felt his body’s changes becoming increasingly evident.

...

Qin Xiaotian returned to the Qin family in the Flying Leopard Empire.

The Qin family owned a large number of crystal stone mines and various shops in the Flying Leopard Empire, known as immensely wealthy.

The current family head, Qin Chuan, was a very shrewd businessman, though his genetic evolution level wasn’t high, only above Empire Middle Level.

Qin Chuan’s wife was the sister of the current Emperor of the Flying Leopard Empire.

In other words, the current Emperor and Qin Chuan were related by marriage.

Originally, the Qin family owned significant crystal stone mines in Leopard City on Purple Origin Star, which were lost after Yang Xiao took over Leopard City; this always pained Qin Chuan.

Although the Qin family was known as the wealthiest in the Flying Leopard Empire, in a world that revered genetic evolution and force, people valued a family’s strength in genetic evolution over mere wealth.

Qin Chuan was proud of his two sons, who had promising talent and were currently cultivating at Flying Leopard Academy, placing the family’s further prosperity hopes on them, especially the eldest, Qin Xiaotian.

Qin Xiaotian’s sudden return surprised his father Qin Chuan.

”Oh, Xiaotian, why have you come back?”

Qin Xiaotian, upon seeing his father, thought of his deceased brother, his face changed, and he immediately knelt before his father, saying emotionally:

”Father, I failed to take care of my brother, brother Qin Yue...,”

”Boom!”

Upon seeing his son Qin Xiaotian kneeling before him, Qin Chuan froze.

Upon hearing Xiaotian confessing his failure to care for his brother, he was even more stunned.

”Xiaotian, get up, what happened? What’s wrong with Qin Yue? Did you two have a conflict?”

”Father, brother, he’s dead.”

”Boom”

A clap of thunder sounded in Qin Chuan’s mind.

Qin Chuan’s tall figure wobbled, almost fell over, and the nearby steward hurriedly supported him.

”Master, be careful.”

Qin Chuan took a deep breath, looked at his kneeling son, and sternly demanded:

”Xiaotian, tell me, how did your brother die?”
