Super Gene Hunting Ground

Yang Xiao listened and chuckled.

Nima, before the great catastrophe on Earth, there were a lot of stories about palace coups and internal strife in Xuanming Country’s movies, TV series, novels, and even history books.

Things like what Xiao He encountered are just child’s play.

Although Witch Star and Earth are separated by hundreds of light-years, the social systems and customs are very different, but the fundamental aspects of human thought regarding the struggle for benefits and resources, and the complexities of interpersonal relationships, are no different in essence.

Xiao He was very excited after hearing Yang Xiao’s words, nodded in agreement and said:

”Yang Xiao, what you said makes a lot of sense. I originally intended to quietly hide and cultivate in the Flying Leopard Academy, but I didn’t expect the Second Prince to never forget to hunt me down, even chasing me to the Flying Leopard Academy, refusing to give me a way to live.”

”You must find your own way to live, you must strive for it yourself. Simply escaping is not a solution. You must stand up and compete directly with the Second Prince.

Genetic cultivation is not your strong suit, so you need to work on courage, determination, organization, and leadership skills to make a career for yourself, showing your excellent side to your father, which might greatly change his mind.”

Xiao Gang, standing to the side, exclaimed excitedly:

”Brother Yang, you’re right, that’s exactly it.”

”Xiao He, as the Eldest Prince, do you have any strong individuals of high Genetic Realm in your mansion?”

Xiao He, looking embarrassed, replied:

”I only have a hundred guards, all at the Empire Level realm, but there aren’t many more powerful experts, especially these past ten years I’ve been cultivating at Flying Leopard Academy, with little opportunity to make connections with talented people.”

”To achieve great things, you must have talents. Actually, the ten years you spent at Flying Leopard Academy wasn’t wasted; the academy itself is an enormous talent pool. Isn’t there a large group of experts graduating this time? Why not recruit some talents for your own use directly from here?”

Yang Xiao’s words sent a flash of inspiration through Xiao He’s mind, seemingly solving a problem that had troubled him for more than ten years and offering hope.

Xiao He exclaimed excitedly:

”Yang Xiao, you’re right, that’s a brilliant idea! How did I not think of this?”

”It’s not that you didn’t think of it, but for the past ten years, you’ve been passively avoiding competition with the Second Prince, hiding yourself away, how could you think of recruiting talent to contend? Why would anyone want to follow a Prince hiding from the world?”

”Yes, that’s indeed the case, you’re like a destiny god sent to help me.”

Xiao He suddenly realized that Yang Xiao’s appearance seemed to be aiding him in initiating a turning point in his life.

Yang Xiao smiled slightly, saying:

”If you want to succeed, there will be many difficulties. Let’s take it step by step. First, start with this hunting competition; we’ll take the top spot for sure.

As the champion of the Flying Leopard Academy hunting competition, it will bring some fame, and your father should hear about it. We’ll use it as a starting point to begin recruiting the academy’s talents.”

Fan Chen suddenly spoke up from the side:

”If we’re aiming to snatch the first place, our biggest rival would be Liang Bao. Before the competition, I drank with Liang Bao once and chatted about this hunting competition. From his tone, it seems he’s determined to win the first place.”

Yang Xiao listened and asked:

”Fan Chen, you’re the second-ranked expert, and Liang Bao is first. How do you think you compare to him?”

Liang Bao listened, and with a bitter smile, said:

”You don’t understand Liang Bao. In fact, Liang Bao is a genetic evolution genius. When he first entered the academy, he indulged in wine and women, plus his father is the Gambling King, with endless money at home, so he didn’t pay much attention to cultivation and failed to show his genetic evolution talent.

Later, he suddenly focused on cultivation, and his genetic evolution talent burst forth, astonishing everyone. For the past ten years, he’s rarely shown up, yet he’s remained at the top of the combat power ranking for ten years, and his actual combat power should be far above mine.”

”Has he broken through to the Emperor Level Realm?”

”Probably not!” Fan Chen immediately denied.

”Why?” Yang Xiao asked.

”The reason is simple. Breaking through to the Emperor Level is a crucial life-and-death pass for Genetic Evolvers and isn’t easily transcended. Throughout the entire Flying Leopard Empire, and even the Witch Star, few people can transcend to the Emperor Level.

Take our Flying Leopard Academy, for example, only Dean Xinghai Sir and Elder Ye from the library have broken through to the Emperor Level.

And they only broke through after they were over a hundred years old. How could Liang Bao, who is so young, have broken through to the Emperor Level?”

”Regardless of how strong his combat power is now, I’m dead set on winning first place in this hunting competition,”

Yang Xiao took out the recently captured Two-star Divine Weapon, the Red Sun Sword, from his Space Ring and waved it around, saying:

”We now have four Two-star Divine Weapons, plus we have an expert like Fan Chen, so the problem shouldn’t be too big.”

Xiao He then laughed, saying:

”Yang Xiao, don’t forget, you also have your Flying Leopard Thunder Hammer.”

”Don’t count on my Flying Leopard Thunder Hammer. That thing is somewhat beyond my control, and each use greatly depletes my Qi, requiring time to recover, so for now, let’s use it sparingly.”

”Even without using the Flying Leopard Thunder Hammer, having Fan Chen joining us should be enough,” Gong Yu said.

Everyone discussed for a while longer and felt there wasn’t much of a problem, and they were full of confidence.

Yang Xiao handed the Red Sun Sword in his hand to Fan Chen, saying:

”Let me loan this sword to you for now,”

Then, feeling a bit reluctant, he added:

”Remember to return it to me after the competition!”

Fan Chen happily accepted the sword.

Yang Xiao, feeling uneasy, then said to Gong Yu:

”Gong Yu, take good care of your Broken Rainbow Sword; don’t lose it again, and remember to return it to me after the competition!”

Gong Yu: ”...”

Wang Qian muttered to herself:

”Yang Xiao, you already have three Two-star Divine Weapons and a Flying Leopard Thunder Hammer. What are you collecting so many Divine Weapons for?”

Yang Xiao glared and said: ”Hey, do you have any Divine Weapons? If you do, sell them to me; I can’t have too many.”

Xiao Gang laughed and said:

”This Red Sun Sword belongs to the Second Prince, and the Broken Rainbow Sword belongs to the Qin family, a gift from the Flying Leopard Emperor to his sister, Wanyan Li, and is considered part of the Flying Leopard Empire Dynasty’s belongings. Yang Xiao, you only have two hands, so carrying so many Divine Weapons is too ostentatious.”

Yang Xiao suddenly thought of something and shouted:

”One more thing, let’s make it clear first; after winning this hunting competition, the Dragon Slayer Sword must be mine too.”

Xiao He: ”...”

Fan Chen: ”...”

Xiao Gang: ”@#￥%”

Wang Qian, Gong Yu, Cui Yuan: ”@#￥%”

Xiao He laughed and said:

”Yang Xiao, you deserve the most credit. If it weren’t for you, our team would have been wiped out long ago. The spoils, the Dragon Slayer Sword, naturally belong to you.

Although, I’m curious, you already have three Two-star Divine Weapons, yet you still want the Dragon Slayer Sword. How many hands do you have?”

Xiao Gang followed up, saying:

”There are more than ten Two-star Divine Weapons in the entire Flying Leopard Empire. Are you trying to get rich quick? Be cautious, or those lunatics out there will come to duel and snatch your Divine Weapons.”
