Super Gene Hunting Ground

Yang Xiao is still the leader of this team.

Soon, the news of Yang Xiao’s team winning the hunting competition spread through the base camp.

Because the last day of the competition ends at midnight, some people have not yet returned, so the results will be announced the next morning.

After Yang Xiao and the others settled their spoils, they were free to move around the valley, waiting for the award ceremony the next morning.

Yang Xiao and his team returned to their campsite, lit a bonfire, and held a barbecue celebration.

Many students nearby came over to greet Yang Xiao and his team, hoping to get acquainted.

Winning the hunting competition, they are sure to be the star figures of the academy in the future. With Liang Bao and others graduating soon, the next star figures will surely be Yang Xiao and his team.

Liang Bao was very upset and hid in his tent to sleep.

...

Dean Xinghai, Vice Dean Deng Nan, and others were resting and chatting in the base camp when a staff member approached.

”Dean, there’s a strange situation.”

”What strange situation?”

”The hunting competition is ending soon, but till now, more than ten people haven’t returned, including some from the top ten on the combat power ranking.”

Dean Xinghai was taken aback and asked:

”Which of the top ten in combat power have not returned?”

”Fan Ni, ranked tenth; Han Yang, ranked sixth; and Guo Gang, ranked fifth.”

”These people haven’t come back?”

”Yes, there’s been no information about them so far.”

Hearing this, Dean Xinghai looked a bit serious.

Deng Nan said from the side:

”No need to worry, these people have a high Genetic Evolution Level, they shouldn’t have met with any accident. They’re most likely delayed in the forest and will surely return at the last moment.”

Xinghai sighed and said:

”I’m just worried that in their quest for the Dragon Slayer Sword, they might have crossed the 200 km forbidden zone. If they encountered a powerful demon beast, it could be dangerous.”

”Dean, please don’t worry yet. Let’s wait patiently until tomorrow.”

...

By the next morning, thirteen people from the Advanced Academy had not returned, and six from the Junior Academy lost their lives during the hunt.

Faced with this outcome, Dean Xinghai felt very heavy-hearted, especially since the top-ranking tenth, sixth, and fifth persons have not appeared, it’s feared they might have met with misfortune.

If these three have indeed perished, it would be a great loss to Flying Leopard Academy.

At ten in the morning, the results of the hunting competition were announced on time.

Thousands stood in the valley as Vice Dean Deng Nan flew into the air and briefly summarized the basic situation of the competition, commenting on some events.

Finally, Dean Xinghai announced the champion of the hunting competition.

Xinghai stood mid-air and loudly said:

”Dear students, after a month of intense hunting, you have all undergone a unique life and death exercise, pushing your potential limits. I feel very pleased with your excellent performances.

According to the statistics of the Hunting Tournament Organizing Committee, we have selected the champion team of this competition, and that is,

”

Xinghai paused here, glancing over the valley.

The valley was silent as everyone awaited Dean Xinghai’s announcement of the final competition results and also wanted to see that Dragon Slayer Sword.

”The champion team of this hunting event is Yang Xiao’s team!”

After Dean Xinghai finished speaking, thunderous applause erupted throughout the valley.

The news of Yang Xiao’s team’s victory had already spread among the students that night. Besides envying their luck, most admired their achievement.

From Yang Xiao’s duel with the Qin family brothers upon entering the academy, to later representing the academy and defeating Heavenly Dragon Academy’s Long Jing, and now winning this hunting competition,

This journey took not just luck but more of true strength.

No matter how jealous people were of Yang Xiao’s luck, they couldn’t help but respect his strength.

Liang Bao stood in the crowd with a bitter heart upon hearing Dean Xinghai announce the champion,

He originally thought the championship was certain, but unexpectedly, he lost unfathomably to Yang Xiao, and crucially, to the Divine Weapon in Yang Xiao’s hand.

If Yang Xiao hadn’t had those two Divine Weapons, would Fan Chen have teamed up with him?

If Fan Chen didn’t team up with Yang Xiao, Yang Xiao wouldn’t have been able to win the championship.

Liang Bao believed that Yang Xiao’s victory was more due to luck, which made him very unhappy inside.

However, this outcome was beyond his power to change.

Dean Xinghai stood airborne, waved his hand, and a golden longsword with a scabbard appeared in mid-air.

”As promised, this Two-star Divine Weapon, the Dragon Slayer Sword, will be awarded to this competition’s winning team. Next, please welcome Yang Xiao.”

Yang Xiao, Fan Chen, Xiao He, and the others stood at the front. Upon hearing Dean Xinghai’s call, they were all excited.

Amidst the cheers, Yang Xiao leaped into the air, coming to near Dean Xinghai.

Xinghai waved his hand, and the Dragon Slayer Sword flew toward Yang Xiao.

Yang Xiao reached out to catch it, immediately gripping the scabbard with his left hand, and the hilt with his right,

With a light ”click,”

A golden ray burst forth from the scabbard,

Yang Xiao could feel the Dragon Slayer Sword’s overpowering killing aura.

Yang Xiao drew the Dragon Slayer Sword and swung it casually mid-air, a golden light several meters long roared out, piercing through the void, brimming with a chilling killing intent.

Thousands in the valley clicked their tongues in envy, jealousy, and hate.

Yang Xiao sheathed the sword, bowed to Dean Xinghai,

”Thank you, Dean!”

”Haha, Yang Xiao, it is well-deserved. I hope you continue to work hard in cultivation, enhance your Genetic Evolution Realm, and constantly surpass yourself. I believe you can create miracles again.”

”Thank you for your guidance, Dean!”

Yang Xiao bowed to the dean.

”Alright, I now declare this hunting event concluded. Everyone, please evacuate the Flying Leopard Mountain Range and return to the academy.”

”Yeah!”

The valley erupted in cheers.

The academy students proceeded to depart the valley.

Dean Xinghai walked over to Yang Xiao’s side, smiling:

”Yang Xiao, you already have two Two-star Divine Weapons, do you really need a third?”

”Dean, I’ve recently taken a liking to collecting Divine Weapons. Do you happen to have more?”

Xinghai rolled his eyes and mildly reprimanded with a laugh:

”Do you think Divine Weapons are ordinary weapons from the Genetic Store that you can buy at will?”

”Since you know these aren’t ordinary weapons, naturally the more, the merrier, haha!”

Xinghai also chuckled, shaking his head, and turned to discuss other matters with Deng Nan and the academy staff.

Deng Nan asked:

”Dean, Guo Gang, Han Yang, and Fan Ni haven’t returned yet, what should we do?”

”Alas, I reckon they likely had mishaps, probably encountering high-level demon beasts. Do we have signals from their Tracking Jade Plates?”

”We sorted it out last night, most people returned to the valley, and their Tracking Jade Plate signals also returned with them. However, signals from over a dozen Tracking Jade Plates still appeared on our tracking devices, and based on our analysis, some signal locations are in the forbidden zone beyond 200 km.”

”Hmm, I guess they likely met their demise deep in the forbidden zone. Let’s go, take me to see.”

(My apologies, these past few days have been inconvenient for writing in the countryside. The weather is hot, and there are many mosquitoes; after being bitten, it’s swollen and itchy, unbearably painful.)
