Super Gene Hunting Ground

Though Gong Yu was defeated by Yang Xiao, he still stayed with the other two classmates for training.

The other boy was named Cui Yuan, and the girl was named Wang Qian,

The three had been at Flying Leopard Academy for ten years and were all older than Yang Xiao.

Zhu Peng completed his task, greeted Yang Xiao, and left on his own.

Master Lei first had Yang Xiao and the three others introduce themselves to each other, then said:

”Yang Xiao, you four are the candidates for the Empire Level Primary Level group. Only three of you will compete in the match, and who goes will depend on the situation at the time,

Gong Yu, Wang Qian, and Cui Yuan have been training for half a year. They have reached the peak of the Empire Level Primary Level in genetic evolution. The direction of their current training focuses primarily on various cultivation skills,

But Yang Xiao has much room for improvement in genetic evolution, so your training focus will differ from theirs,

Yang Xiao, do you have any thoughts?”

Yang Xiao thought for a moment and asked:

”Actual combat experience is very important. I have a small suggestion, to call one person from the academy’s Empire Middle Level realm every day to spar with me.”

Master Lei: ”...”

Gong Yu: ”...”

Wang Qian: ”...”

Cui Yuan: ”...”

The four looked at Yang Xiao in shock,

Wow, does he have to be so arrogant?

Although Gong Yu was defeated by Yang Xiao, he felt a bit indignant inside and coldly said:

”Yang Xiao, aren’t you too arrogant? Defeating me doesn’t mean you can defeat those seniors at the Empire Middle Level realm. The difference between Primary Level and Middle Level is not just one word, but their combat power is several times, even ten times higher.”

Wang Qian and Cui Yuan also looked at Yang Xiao and chuckled lightly.

They had seen arrogance, but not like this.

Yang Xiao didn’t bother with the three. Given their realm, they naturally couldn’t understand Yang Xiao’s current situation.

Yang Xiao turned his gaze toward Master Lei.

Master Lei looked at Yang Xiao, hesitated a bit,

”Are you sure you want to do this?”

”Of course, only by fighting experts can you improve, and fighting different people allows you to learn various soul skills and improves your reaction ability, which is very helpful,

Actually, I suggest that Gong Yu and the others also find Empire Middle Level seniors as sparring partners. Sparring among themselves is ineffective since they know each other too well and their combat power is similar, how can they improve?”

”Buzz!”

Master Lei’s mind suddenly buzzed, and he looked at Yang Xiao with a newfound appreciation.

Master Lei had been training Gong Yu and the others for six months. Initially, they progressed quickly in the first two months, but then their improvement stalled. Now, hearing Yang Xiao’s suggestion, it seemed like a revelation.

Gong Yu and the others were also amazed at Yang Xiao’s analysis, simultaneously enlightened.

Yang Xiao had a point!

Absolutely right.

”I think what Junior Brother Yang said makes a lot of sense.”

Wang Qian spoke first, with a smile on her face and a gaze at Yang Xiao filled with appreciation.

Gong Yu and Cui Yuan glanced at Wang Qian and also agreed with Yang Xiao’s proposal.

Of course, since they were only at the Empire Level Primary Level, they naturally felt intimidated facing those at the Middle Level. At their stage, a single mistake could lead to serious injury or worse.

All three turned to look at Master Lei.

Master Lei slowly said:

”Hmm, I also find Yang Xiao’s suggestion feasible. I will start by finding some senior brothers and sisters who have just broken through to the Middle Level realm to spar with you. Just make sure to pay attention to safety, give it a try first,

Moreover,”

Master Lei paused and looked at Yang Xiao,

”In the academy exchange competition, besides free battles, there are also set contents like weapon duels. Everyone will receive an ordinary attribute-enhancing weapon, and the main test during weapon duels is the mastery of certain cultivation skills,

Yang Xiao, are you proficient in this area?”

”Ah, I know the Golden Bee Sword Skill,”

Gong Yu and the others chuckled lightly upon hearing this.

The Golden Bee Sword Skill is the most basic swordsmanship, practiced by many in the early stages.

Master Lei was also bewildered upon hearing this.

Yang Xiao had to add,

”I’ve mastered the Golden Bee Sword Skill to its full level!”

”Haha...”

Wang Qian and the others couldn’t hold back any longer and burst into laughter.

”Yang Xiao, you won’t use the Golden Bee Sword Skill in a match, will you?”

”Any evolver, even a ten-year-old kid, knows the Golden Bee Sword Skill. It doesn’t have any miraculous functions.”

”If the Golden Bee Sword Skill is all you know, you’ll definitely lose to the Heavenly Dragon Academy participants in the exchange competition.”

...

Yang Xiao scratched his head,

”Why don’t one of you try my Golden Bee Sword Skill?”

Wang Qian and the others exchanged a smile and glanced at Master Lei.

Cui Yuan said,

”Wang Qian, your Cloud Rain Sword Technique is the strongest among us, why don’t you spar with Junior Brother Yang.”

Wang Qian looked at Master Lei.

Master Lei nodded and said,

”Alright then, you spar with Yang Xiao, just be careful.”

”Alright.”

Wang Qian nodded, glanced at Yang Xiao, and turned towards the open space.

Yang Xiao had no choice but to follow.

Wang Qian reached into her Space Ring and took out two longswords,

”Yang Xiao, I have two swords here, one adds +20 Strength, the other adds +20 Agility, which one do you want?”

”You choose first, I don’t mind.”

”Alright, I’m used to the Agility sword, so I’ll take this one, and the Strength sword is for you. If you want one with the Agility attribute, Cui Yuan and Gong Yu also have Strength attribute swords.”

The three of them trained together almost every day, each possessing several longswords with different attributes.

According to the tournament rules, there would be various +20 attribute longswords available to choose from freely.

Cui Yuan also chimed in:

”Yang Xiao, if you need the Agility attribute, I have one here.”

Yang Xiao replied:

”No need, I’ll just use this Strength attribute longsword.”

The two stood about ten meters apart.

Wang Qian gripped her longsword, clasped her fist at Yang Xiao, and said:

”Yang Xiao, I’m going to attack, be careful.”

”What a beautiful and kind-hearted senior! Even reminding the opponent to be careful before the fight.”

Wang Qian felt a little awkward, then shouted:

”Then, watch the sword!”

With a shake of her longsword, countless sword rains tore through the void, whistling towards Yang Xiao.

The sky changed colors instantly, stirring a terrifying killing aura.

The Cloud Rain Sword Technique is one of the top ten swords of the Flying Leopard Academy, its power is quite terrifying.

And, its speed is extremely fast.

”Good!”

Cui Yuan and Gong Yu couldn’t help but exclaim.

Though they sparred with Wang Qian daily, whenever she used the Cloud Rain Sword Technique, they would feel a terrifying intimidation.

Master Lei, standing in the gazebo, also nodded. In his opinion, Wang Qian’s Cloud Rain Sword Technique was already very perfect, only lacking more powerful killing aura.

This would only be achieved as Wang Qian continuously improved her Genetic Evolution Level. As for the perfection of sword moves, Wang Qian’s Cloud Rain Sword Technique was flawless.

In an instant, countless sword shadows blocked all of Yang Xiao’s escape routes.

Yang Xiao was already prepared; knowing Wang Qian had chosen a +20 Agility attribute, she naturally excelled in speed over him. There’s no way to evade.

Yang Xiao roared, activating the ”Burst” Soul Skill,

+10% all attributes,

+50% Combat Power.

The longsword shook, and the Golden Bee Sword Skill instantly launched,

one sword with nine shadows,

Nine gigantic sword shadows exploded in front of Yang Xiao, leading him towards Wang Qian’s sword rain.

Cui Yuan exclaimed in surprise, saying:

”Wow! Yang Xiao is so fierce, not dodging but attacking instead?”

Gong Yu added:

”Wang Qian’s original speed attribute was already 6 points higher than Yang Xiao’s, and the sword’s Agility attribute added another 20 points. Yang Xiao naturally knew he couldn’t match Wang Qian’s speed,

since he couldn’t escape, he chose to confront, maybe this way he would take fewer injuries.”

Master Lei glanced over and said:

”Yang Xiao’s strategy is correct, his speed isn’t as fast as Wang Qian’s, so he can only rely on Combat Power to crush Wang Qian’s attack.”

”But, isn’t the combat power of the Cloud Rain Sword terrifying too? I doubt Yang Xiao can break it.”

...

The nine massive sword shadows instantly surged into Wang Qian’s sword rain.

Yang Xiao roared again, instantly urging the Inner Strength of the Shenming Mountain Sect, the energy of Genetic Evolution rapidly converting into the Inner Strength of Xuanming Country’s Ancient Martial Arts.

”Swish!”

The sound of splitting air echoed, the nine gigantic sword shadows suddenly shot forward an invisible sword qi of about six or seven meters, the void in front shattered instantly,

all sword shadows entering the space of the nine sword qi were shattered.

Wang Qian was shocked and about to evade,

Yang Xiao’s nine sword qi had already approached her like lightning, crushing all her sword shadows.

The Cloud Rain Sword Technique was broken, its killing aura dissipated, and the clouds in the sky scattered instantly.

”Buzz!”

Wang Qian instantly activated her Defensive Light Shield, blocking it in front of her.

Just about to raise her hand for another move,

a crack sounded,

Yang Xiao shattered her Defensive Light Shield, a sword qi ”swished” past her right arm, leaving a deep wound exposing the bone.

Wang Qian winced in pain, unable to continue her sword attack, then instantaneously moved her body back dozens of meters.

Yang Xiao sheathed his sword with a faint smile:

”Senior sister, I’ve taken the victory!”

The entire garden fell into dead silence!

Master Lei, Gong Yu, Cui Yuan, and Wang Qian herself all stared dumbfounded at Yang Xiao, unable to utter a word, yet the shock in their hearts was like waves crashing over and over.

”This Yang Xiao is really a monster, isn’t he?”
