Super Gene Hunting Ground

Everyone suddenly felt a heaviness in their hearts, as if a mountain pressed down on their shoulders, their feet sinking down, and the hard rocks beneath immediately cracked.

Dean Deng shouted loudly:

”Hold on, everyone push upward, rise into the air!”

Everyone heard and shouted together, all pushing upward.

However, they found an invisible pressure pinned them, making it very difficult to rise even a centimeter.

The blue light around Dean Deng brightened significantly, and he lifted his hands upward with difficulty, his entire body rising centimeter by centimeter, with beads of sweat rolling down his forehead.

This collapsed hill weighed millions, even tens of millions of tons.

All the rubble, regardless of size, seemed controlled by an invisible magic, levitating and slowly rising upward.

More than three hundred people were shocked by Dean Deng’s Moving Mountain Divine Skill, feeling also an increasing pressure on them.

When the rubble floated several meters high, Dean Deng shouted and suddenly pushed forward with his hands.

”Boom...”

A tremendous noise followed, and tens of millions of tons of rubble instantly flew hundreds of meters away, followed by a crashing sound, where all the rubble fell together and formed another hill.

Everyone felt a lightness all over.

Vice Dean Deng said loudly:

”Alright, everyone retract your cultivation techniques, stop outputting evolution energy.”

Jiang En and others immediately withdrew their techniques, shaking their arms to relax.

Dean Deng exhaled deeply, landing from mid-air.

Director Lin approached with a look of amazement, complimenting:

”Dean Deng, I admire you, the Moving Mountain Divine Skill you displayed today really opened my eyes, I truly admire it!”

Vice Dean Deng smiled slightly,

”It wasn’t a Divine Skill, it was the Moving Mountain Formation, it wasn’t my personal ability, but rather barely accomplished by leveraging the strength of over three hundred people, there’s nothing to be happy about.”

”Dean Deng, you’re too modest, even the Moving Mountain Formation is not something everyone can perform, fortunately you can use the Moving Mountain Formation, otherwise organizing everyone to move the rocks individually here would have taken who knows how long.”

Dean Deng nodded and said,

”Director Lin, Jiang En, take these three hundred students to the ruins of Cultivation Field 101 and search, see if you can find the old tunnels, follow the old tunnels inside, and see if Xing Zhe and the others are inside.”

”Yes.”

Director Lin immediately led the three hundred people to the front of Ruins 101.

After the small nuclear generator exploded, it had blasted the original cultivation field tunnels to pieces, making it difficult to find the original tunnel entrances at a glance.

Jiang En glanced around and immediately said;

”Director Lin, judging from the scene here, there seems to have been an explosion.”

”Hmm, you’re right, looking at the explosion’s location, if I’m not mistaken, it should have been the small nuclear generator at Cultivation Field 101 that exploded, no wonder the power was so strong.”

”Why did this nuclear generator explode?”

”I don’t know either, first, let’s find people, once we find Xing Zhe and Yang Xiao we’ll understand the reason, everyone search the ground carefully for the original tunnel entrance.”

More than three hundred people searched the vast ruins and after half an hour, a student dug through a pile of rubble with his hands and shouted:

”I found the original tunnel!”

Jiang En and others rushed over, took a close look, and said:

”Yes, it’s indeed the old tunnel of the cultivation field.”

Due to the nuclear explosion, the first and second level tunnels of the cultivation field were destroyed, and the third level tunnel was found.

Everyone cleared the rubble covering the tunnel entrance, revealing a big hole.

With urgency, Jiang En shouted into the tunnel entrance:

”Xing Zhe, Yang Xiao, are you in there? Can you hear me?”

Jiang En shouted over a dozen times, but apart from the echo from the underground tunnel, there was no response from Xing Zhe and Yang Xiao.

Jiang Hao said:

”Let me go down and look for them.”

”We’ll go down together,”

Lv Ling said.

Jiang En approached Dean Deng and Director Lin, and said:

”Dean Deng, I’d like to go down the tunnel to search for Xing Zhe and Yang Xiao.”

Dean Deng nodded,

”Okay, but you must be cautious of safety in the tunnels, watch out for collapses and falling rocks, and also organize several teams to go down for the search.”

”Alright.”

Jiang En, Jiang Hao, and Lv Ling each led a team of ten into the tunnel, moving along the passage to look for Yang Xiao and the others.

The three teams searched the tunnels for an hour but found no sign of Xing Zhe and Yang Xiao.

”Darn it, where did Yang Xiao and the others go?”

”If they were hiding below the tunnel, they should have come out by now.”

”I have a feeling, with the explosion above being so strong, maybe they were blown away.”

”Nonsense, although nuclear blasts are powerful, those two have an Emperor Level Realm, and their defense light screens can resist small nuclear weapon explosions.”

”But we’ve searched everywhere, and there’s no sign of Xing Zhe and Yang Xiao, where did they go?”

”...”

The three teams became increasingly despondent after searching the tunnels for a couple of hours.

Eventually, Jiang En led the team back to the surface.

Dean Deng and the others, seeing Jiang Hao and the others emerge from the tunnel, were initially surprised, then asked in disappointment:

”What? Didn’t find them?”

Jiang En nodded,

”We searched everywhere, our three teams looked many times but found no trace of them.”

Director Lin sighed and said,

”Could it be that Xing Zhe and Yang Xiao were killed in the blast?”

”...”

Everyone looked towards Vice Dean Deng.

Dean Deng hesitated for a moment and said:

”Jiang En, this nuclear generator explosion is very peculiar, Xing Zhe and Yang Xiao might have met with an accident, if so, it’s truly unfortunate,

let’s do it this way, I’ll take two hundred students and return to the academy first, Director Lin, you and Jiang En, along with the others, stay with a hundred students here, continue the search, and if by tomorrow you still can’t find the two, then we’ll call off the search,

let it be as it is intended!”

Director Lin nodded, left a hundred students behind, while the remaining two hundred were led by Vice Dean Deng back to Wuji Academy.

Jiang En had most people search the surroundings and took ten people back into the tunnel for further searching.

In the evening, everyone stayed inside the tunnel to rest, guarding against unforeseen Demon Beast attacks.

Jiang En searched the entire tunnel time and again with no luck.

By the next day, everyone had given up.

Lv Ling said to Jiang En:

”Senior Jiang En, we’ve done our best, it seems Xing Zhe and Yang Xiao have likely perished, continuing to search is meaningless.”

Jiang En nodded, feeling a tightness in his chest, his expression somber.

This team was under his leadership, and with Yang Xiao and Xing Zhe’s accident, he felt very guilty inside.

Director Lin patted Jiang En on the shoulder.

”Let’s return to the academy!”
