Super Gene Hunting Ground

Deng Nan said to Yang Xiao:

”According to the competition rules, Yang Xiao, as the challenger Revivalist, must defeat Long Jing to qualify to challenge the next contestant, Ye Sui.

If Yang Xiao loses, then he loses the right to continue challenging.

Wang Qian and Gong Yu were already defeated by their opponents in this morning’s competition,

so it will be judged that Heavenly Dragon Academy wins, and Flying Leopard Academy loses, understand?”

”Understood!”

”Good, the competition begins now!”

Deng Nan flew away from the center of the arena, and a gigantic Defense Light Screen enveloped the arena.

Yang Xiao and Long Jing stood firmly ten meters apart.

Yang Xiao still chose a Longsword with +20 Strength.

Long Jing also chose a Longsword with +20 Strength.

Long Jing peered at Yang Xiao through the veil, her mind racing as she was about to face this man, who once had a special relationship with her, in a duel. She was deeply conflicted.

Yang Xiao was the father of her child; was she supposed to kill him?

Absolutely impossible!

Yet, if she lost, not only would Heavenly Dragon Academy’s reputation be damaged, but the Divine Weapon, the Heavenly Dragon Sword, would also be lost to Flying Leopard Academy. This was no small matter.

According to her father’s instructions, once Long Jing could fully activate the Heavenly Dragon Beast Soul, the Heavenly Dragon Sword would be entrusted to her, and Long Jing would become the guardian and Holy Daughter of the Great Dragon Empire!

Yang Xiao couldn’t see Long Jing’s face, but through her white veil, he felt a special sensation, faintly familiar yet unclear and incomprehensible.

The two of them stood quietly, gazing at each other for several seconds.

The audience, however, began to stir.

”What’s happening?”

”Why aren’t they starting?”

...

Xiao Ling sat on the stands, a strange sense of panic in her heart.

....

Yang Xiao gripped his sword and cupped his fists, saying:

”Miss Long, please!”

Long Jing also gripped her sword, cupped her fists, and nodded.

She didn’t speak, afraid that Yang Xiao would recognize her by her voice.

If they recognized each other now, could the duel continue? Wouldn’t it become a farce?

Both simultaneously flicked their Longswords, a humming sound pierced the void as they charged at each other.

Yang Xiao used the Swordsmanship of the Innate Faction, unleashing a powerful blast of Sword Qi, awe-inspiring in force.

Long Jing employed an ordinary Swordsmanship, the Flowing Cloud Swordsmanship, as smooth as flowing water with heavy sword shadows.

The two clashed in an instant, and from their first exchange, they sensed each other’s formidable skill. Neither dared to be careless or overconfident, focusing intently on their duel.

Both had a similar Genetic Evolution Level, though Long Jing had 3 more attribute value points than Yang Xiao, reaching 108 points in all Four Attributes.

Their Beast Souls were extraordinary; Long Jing required more Evolution Energy for her Genetic Evolution than ordinary people.

Yang Xiao and Long Jing ended in a stalemate, exchanging blows and pursuing each other in mid-air and on the ground, an exhilarating fight that drew applause from the entire audience.

As they continued to fight closely, Yang Xiao increasingly sensed a familiar scent from Long Jing’s body, yet couldn’t recall it at the moment.

After half an hour, Yang Xiao didn’t use his lethal move against Long Jing, and she likewise refrained from using her ultimate attack on him.

Even as they exchanged ordinary Sword Moves, their outward appearances seemed perilously suspenseful, but neither combated with full strength. When nearing a truly life-threatening move, they would deliberately retract part of their force.

As a result, what was originally a fierce life-and-death battle turned into a performance match, intense yet without actual danger!

Of course, the general audience only saw the intense crossover of their sword shadows, seemingly perilous, but they couldn’t deceive the discerning eyes of experts like Elder Ye, Long Kui, and Xinghai.

Long Kui and Xinghai glanced at each other,

”What’s going on?”

”No idea.”

...

Elder Ye, munching on snacks and sipping wine, watched Yang Xiao and Long Jing in the arena.

Xiao Ling nervously asked, ”Elder Ye, who do you think is stronger?”

”They’re evenly matched, nothing to worry about.”

Elder Ye, thinking it wasn’t accurate enough, added,

”At this rate, they won’t decide a winner until nightfall.”

Xiao Ling was taken aback, turning to Elder Ye,

”Why?”

Elder Ye chuckled and said,

”Ah, nothing, they’re evenly matched!”

Of course, he wouldn’t foolishly tell Xiao Ling there was a peculiar issue between Yang Xiao and Long Jing.

Half an hour later, Yang Xiao’s mindset gradually changed.

No matter who this veiled woman was, he had to defeat her. He now represented Flying Leopard Academy, and most importantly, if Yang Xiao defeated her, he could help Flying Leopard Academy win the Heavenly Dragon Divine Sword.

Yang Xiao had his own little plans for a Three-star Divine Weapon.

Thinking of this, Yang Xiao changed his Sword Moves, performing the final three advanced moves of the Divine Mountain Sword Skill. The Sword Qi, initially 2-3 meters long, suddenly extended to 6-7 meters, with potency increasing severalfold.

Thousands of overlapping sword shadows pierced the void, enveloping Long Jing entirely.

The audience erupted into exclamations of surprise.

At this moment, Long Jing had no time for other thoughts. Feeling the immense threat, she instinctively changed her Longsword maneuver, effortlessly employing the Heavenly Dragon Swordsmanship.

”Roar——”

A long, resonant dragon’s roar sounded, a silver dragon shadow burst forth from within Yang Xiao’s overlapping sword shadows, fiercely lunging at him.

Every audience member held their breath, eyes fixed on the arena, fearing to miss a single detail.

Even Elder Ye paused his chewing, his sharp eyes focused on the arena’s center.

Long Jing’s use of the Heavenly Dragon Swordsmanship increased her power severalfold, with the huge dragon shadow shattering the Killing Aura of Yang Xiao’s Divine Mountain Sword Skill.

A chill ran through Yang Xiao’s heart, an inexplicable fear gripping him. Quickly, he employed the Burst Soul Skill,

increasing 10% attribute and enhancing 50% attack damage.

With a loud roar, Yang Xiao’s Sword Qi surged, the previously shattered sword shadows instantly reformed, blocking the path of the silver dragon shadow.

Sensing Yang Xiao’s counterattack, Long Jing’s competitive spirit soared. Clenching her teeth, the Longsword continuously performed the Heavenly Dragon Swordsmanship, simultaneously channeling even more powerful Genetic Evolution Energy.

”Roar——”

Another long roar, the silver dragon shadow doubled in size, once more shredding Yang Xiao’s Sword Qi, charging at him.

Yang Xiao’s competitive spirit also surged, and his Divine Sense exploded. Horizontally wielding his Longsword, he unleashed the Soul Skill:

Sweeping Void!

”Boom!”

A monstrous beastly tail, stretching over a hundred meters, emerged, sweeping toward Long Jing’s silver dragon shadow.

Clenching her silver teeth, Long Jing infused her Longsword with a mysterious aura, hurling it towards Yang Xiao.

The Longsword flew through the air, merging with the silver dragon shadow approaching Yang Xiao.

The silver dragon shadow, once somewhat indistinct, abruptly became vividly clear, appearing as a true Giant Dragon, with every scale, whisker, claw, and tooth clearly visible, lifelike in appearance.

From the podium, Long Kui, full of excitement, exclaimed,

”Sword Energy to Dragon? Fantastic!”
