Super Gene Hunting Ground

The number of people requesting to watch the life-and-death duel between Yang Xiao and Qin Xiaotian far exceeded three thousand, especially among the students of the Advanced Academy Department, who saw this as a rare opportunity for observation and learning. They requested the academy to open the arena, allowing more people to have the opportunity to watch the match.

Dean Xinghai temporarily decided to move the venue of Yang Xiao and Qin Xiaotian’s life-and-death duel to the academy’s open-air grand playground, where it could accommodate 20,000 spectators.

The center of the playground had already been set up as a circular arena with a diameter of 400 meters, surrounded by a defense light screen that was over fifty meters high.

This large playground resembled an ancient Roman amphitheater, with the center of the arena sunken down, and the surrounding stands gradually expanded outward, rising higher, with every seat having a good view.

After changing from Arena No. 1 to the open-air grand playground, everyone could enter for free.

The match was scheduled for 10 o’clock in the morning, and to secure good seats, many people started entering the playground to claim spots at eight o’clock in the morning.

The number of people participating in external betting reached thousands, and the betting pool reached 2 billion Crystal Coins, with about 60% of those betting on Qin Xiaotian to win.

The reason was simple: Qin Xiaotian’s Genetic Evolution Level had reached the Empire Level Primary Level Peak, close to breaking through to the Empire Middle Level, compared to Yang Xiao who had just broken through to the Empire Level Primary Level, which seemed almost a whole level higher.

That night, more news came in that Qin Xiaotian was confirmed to use his mother’s two-star divine weapon, the Broken Rainbow Sword.

Many of Qin Xiaotian’s friends in the Advanced College confirmed this news, as they had personally seen Qin Xiaotian show off the Broken Rainbow Sword,

Thus, these people placed heavy bets on Qin Xiaotian’s victory.

This news quickly spread, causing many to change their bets and even increase their wagers.

As a result, those betting on Qin Xiaotian’s victory gradually accounted for about 80% of the total funds, with the total funding breaking 5 billion Crystal Coins.

Gao Lou, Chen Cangshan, Yelu Caiyun, and others placed large bets on Yang Xiao’s victory, each purchasing over 10 million Crystal Coins.

...

In Xiao Ling’s dormitory.

Early in the morning, Xiao Ling got up and personally cooked breakfast.

The two sat down to eat breakfast.

After breakfast, Xiao Ling returned to her room and changed into a beautiful light green dress, accentuating her fair skin and beautiful appearance, making her even more radiant.

Yang Xiao checked his armor, jewelry, and weapons in the Space Ring to make sure everything was in order.

Time was running out.

”Yang Xiao, it’s nine o’clock now. Let’s head to the arena. I heard that many academy leaders are coming today, including Dean Xinghai and several vice-deans, as well as Gu Qing, the manager of the Genetic Store. Besides, there are some unexpected guests,”

”Who?”

”Qin Xiaotian’s father and mother, which means Qin Chuan, the wealthiest man in the Flying Leopard Empire, and his wife, Wanyan Li, the current Flying Leopard Emperor’s younger sister.”

”Are Qin Xiaotian’s parents coming?”

”Yes, I went to the academy office yesterday, and the teaching director Zhu Peng personally told me, and also asked me to pass a message to you,”

”?”

”If you can defeat Qin Xiaotian, I hope you can spare him and not kill him again, otherwise, the accumulated hatred will push the Qin family to a dead end. You might find it hard to stay in the Flying Leopard Academy in the future.”

”I understand this well. I’ve already promised Elder Ye to spare Qin Xiaotian his life, as long as he doesn’t go too far, I won’t make things difficult for him. I certainly understand what killing another son of the Qin family would mean.”

”Zhu Peng means the same; he said if you can spare Qin Xiaotian, the Qin family might be able to forgive you for having killed their youngest son before,

This would be one life in trade for another, but just exchanging Qin Xiaotian’s life for yours.”

”Rest assured, I have a sense of propriety. I just want to have a quiet time at Flying Leopard Academy and don’t want to provoke too much trouble.”

”It seems like you are very confident, hehe!”

”Haha!”

They chatted for a while longer and left together.

As soon as they went out, they ran into their neighbor, Luo Hao, who was just about to leave.

All three were stunned.

Yang Xiao thought, how come I always run into this jealous guy Luo Hao?

”Hello, Instructor Luo.”

Yang Xiao greeted him.

Instructor Luo was also frustrated, damn, why do I always run into these two irritating people? Do they have to flaunt their love every day and not let others live?

Luo Hao noticed that Xiao Ling was exceptionally beautiful today, and her relationship with Yang Xiao seemed particularly intimate.

Just one look at the distance and expressions of Xiao Ling standing next to Yang Xiao was enough to tell.

Luo Hao awkwardly smiled and said:

”Yang Xiao, are you going to the grand playground? I’m heading there too, good luck to you!”

”Haha, thank you.”

”However, I’ve already heard from the instructors at the Advanced Academy Department that Qin Xiaotian’s parents are here, and Qin Xiaotian will duel with you using his mother’s two-star divine weapon, the Broken Rainbow Sword,

You better be careful. A two-star divine weapon could obliterate all Empire Level Realm experts, whether you’re Empire Level Primary Level or Empire Level Peak, one strike can basically kill instantly. The violent killing aura can tear you to shreds in an instant.”

Luo Hao’s expression was exaggerated, as if he already saw Yang Xiao dying under Qin Xiaotian’s Broken Rainbow Sword.

Yang Xiao naturally knew Luo Hao was intentionally trying to discourage him, but before he could retaliate with words, Xiao Ling suddenly reached out and held Yang Xiao’s arm, saying gently:

”Let’s hurry, or we’ll be late.”

Xiao Ling turned to Luo Hao and said:

”Instructor Luo, we’re leaving first.”

Holding Yang Xiao’s arm gently, she directly walked towards the stairs.

Luo Hao watched them leave, feeling a surge of jealousy within him, his face turning green with envy.

Watching Xiao Ling’s beautiful silhouette disappear at the stairs, Luo Hao spat in fury.

”Pah!”

The more Luo Hao thought about it, the angrier he got, thinking that if he left now, he would keep seeing Xiao Ling arm-in-arm with Yang Xiao, and he wouldn’t have peace for the rest of the day.

So, he decided to throw open his door, return to his room irritably, paced back and forth for ten minutes, and only after estimating that Yang Xiao and the others were far away did he go downstairs.

Most of the academy students and instructors were gathered in the stands of the grand playground by that time.

Yang Xiao and Xiao Ling encountered very few people on their way.

Even a few hundred meters from the grand playground, they could already hear the bustling crowd.

Upon entering the grand playground, they were even more shocked by the sea of people.

They took the passage to the main platform, and when they appeared in the arena, someone shouted:

”Look, Yang Xiao is here!”

Instantly, the gaze of over ten thousand people on the stands turned towards them.

Xiao Ling, holding Yang Xiao’s hand, stood on the steps of the passage leading to the main platform, watched by everyone’s gaze.

A perfect pairing of an exceptional man and woman, a match made in heaven.

Suddenly, the noisy arena quieted down, and over ten thousand people, including Dean Xinghai on the platform, Gu Qing from the Genetic Store, and even Qin Xiaotian’s parents, were all captivated by the charisma of Yang Xiao and Xiao Ling.

Xiao Ling, who was already extremely beautiful, holding Yang Xiao’s hand, now exuded her usual cold beauty aura, giving people a sense of respectful distance and inviolability.

Yang Xiao, on the other hand, radiated a self-confidence that made him look down on the world, with a powerful presence that could captivate everyone.

Xiao Ling was originally the dream lover of many students, and at that moment, all those secretly in love with Xiao Ling couldn’t help but think, ”Only a man like this deserves Xiao Ling.”
