Super Gene Hunting Ground-Chapter 897 - 894: What, Chickening Out?

Director Lu waved his hand, signaling the guard to leave the room.

The guard nodded, exited the room, and closed the door behind him.

Director Lu looked at Yang Xiao and asked:

"Young Master Yang, what is your relationship with Lord Gu Hai from the Genetic Store?"

Yang Xiao was taken aback and said:

"I've met him a few times, not very well-acquainted."

Director Lu: "..."

Not well-acquainted? Then why would he write you a recommendation letter?

"Why, does Director Lu know Lord Gu Hai from the Genetic Store?"

"Ah, I've met him once or twice, not very familiar either."

Director Lu wanted to say, as the person in charge of the Great Dragon Empire headquarters at the Genetic Store, Gu Hai's status and power far exceed his own as a mere academy admissions director. He really doesn't have the means to cozy up to someone like Gu Hai.

His unfamiliarity is genuine unfamiliarity!

"Director Lu, may I ask why I wasn't admitted?"

Yang Xiao asked directly.

Director Lu chuckled and said:

"Ah, your genetic testing showed some issues, but it's no longer a problem now. With such an impressive recommendation letter, you could have just gone straight to the academy without testing."

Yang Xiao: "....."

It seems that no matter the social system, human connections are inescapable. A word from someone in a high position can change an ordinary person's destiny.

"Was there a problem with the genetic test, Director Lu? Could you tell me more about it?"

"Actually, to be clear, according to our genetic test results, we've never seen your genetic profile before, and we can't find anything similar in our sample library."

"Is that good or bad?"

Yang Xiao suddenly felt a bit tense, his biggest worry now is the issue of his genetic evolution bottleneck. If he encounters an unbreakable bottleneck now, it will inevitably affect his future evolution space.

While at the square, he also heard everyone discussing, saying that Yang Xiao's case might be one where he's already reached the ceiling of his evolution, unable to improve further, hence not being admitted.

Director Lu scratched his head,

"We've encountered such cases before; generally speaking, our genetic test library contains more than ninety-nine percent of the genetic profiles of all organisms on Witch Star,

For mutations like yours, it's either very bad or very good, existing at two extremes,

I've been in charge of admissions for over twenty years and have seen a dozen similar cases; some were admitted to the academy, but their later performances were very ordinary, even quite poor."

Yang Xiao's heart skipped a beat, he looked at Director Lu, his face turning pale.

If he were in that situation, his genetic evolution path would be at its end.

"Then, my case?"

Yang Xiao couldn't help but ask.

Director Lu smiled slightly and said:

"Maybe you're different from others, otherwise, why would Lord Gu Hai from the Genetic Store write a recommendation letter for you?"

Yang Xiao gave a bitter smile, was Director Lu comforting him?

"Alright, you don't have to worry about this issue for now. Since Lord Gu Hai wrote a recommendation letter to the dean for you, you've been admitted. This is your identity card for entering Flying Leopard Academy. Tomorrow at 9 a.m., gather here, and I will take you into Flying Leopard Academy."

Director Lu handed a white jade token to Yang Xiao.

Yang Xiao took the jade token, thanked him, and asked:

"Director Lu, this is my niece Bing'er. Her parents passed away, and she's an orphan. I can only keep her by my side. May I take her into Flying Leopard Academy with me to live together?"

Director Lu listened and said:

"You can. Cultivators at the academy can bring two attendants. After you enter the academy, you can apply for a temporary companion cultivation identity card for her. Many places in the academy require an identity card to access."

"Alright, thank you very much, Director Lu."

Yang Xiao stood up and left the room with Bing'er.

The issue of entering Flying Leopard Academy was finally resolved, and Yang Xiao could breathe a sigh of relief. However, the unusual genetic test profile mentioned by Director Lu left a lingering concern in Yang Xiao's heart.

If his genes really belonged to the ordinary type, the path of evolution would certainly be severely hindered.

"Whatever, I'll deal with it after entering the academy."

Bing'er was happy for Yang Xiao after solving the enrollment issue, humming a little tune and skipping along.

At lunchtime, Gao Lou found Yang Xiao at the inn, and the three of them went to the restaurant across the street together.

Gao Lou, fearing he might upset Yang Xiao, didn't mention anything about entering Flying Leopard Academy, instead talking about random topics far and wide, sharing funny stories to cheer up Yang Xiao.

Yang Xiao didn't proactively say that he had already been admitted, just accompanied him eating, drinking, and chatting.

Gao Lou, true to his word, ordered all three signature dishes of the hotel: Dry-pan Snow Leopard Meat, Clear Stewed Flying Shark, and Braised Flying Goose.

Although Gao Lou's family was considered wealthy, spending 30,000 crystal coins on a single meal was still a bit painful.

Most people had already left Flying Leopard Town, so there weren't many people dining at the restaurant at noon.

Chen Cangshan and over twenty others occupied two tables in the center of the hall, a group of people talking excitedly, dreaming of the wonderful future of entering Flying Leopard Academy.

Yang Xiao and Gao Lou's table wasn't far from them.

After a few drinks, the sense of superiority in Chen Cangshan's group began to soar, their excitement almost palpable, their undeniable pride evident. After all, being able to beat ninety percent of the rivals and getting into Flying Leopard Academy was indeed something to be proud of.

In the hall, there were a few scattered guests who didn't make it, who, under the overwhelming superiority of Chen Cangshan and his group, secretly lamented, losing their appetite and leaving early after a few bites.

In the end, only Yang Xiao's table and the two tables of Chen Cangshan remained.

Chen Cangshan, holding a wine glass, walked over to Yang Xiao.

"Come, Brother Yang, I toast to you. Your combat power test yesterday really surprised me, made me think you were really awesome."

Yang Xiao didn't take offense, smiled lightly, and said:

"No need, I'm sorry for the embarrassment."

Gao Lou said coldly:

"Chen Cangshan, it's just being admitted to Flying Leopard Academy. Don't show off your superiority here, don't disturb our meal, get lost."

Chen Cangshan chuckled,

"Gao Lou, I know you hold a grudge against me, but you must recognize the situation, the world trend is vast and unstoppable, those who follow it will prosper, and those who go against it will perish, haha...."

Chen Cangshan laughed heartily, not caring about Yang Xiao and Gao Lou's expressions, with a bit of wine-induced courage, he returned to his table, hugging Yelu Caiyun's slim waist.

"Caiyun, cheers."

Yelu Caiyun's heart skipped a beat, a girl's waist was a sensitive area.

She forced a smile, gently pushing away Chen Cangshan's hand from her waist, and said with a smile:

"I toast to you, Young Master Chen."

Chen Cangshan tilted his head back and drank the wine in his glass in one gulp, once again wrapping his arm around Yelu Caiyun's waist, this time more forcefully, more exaggeratedly.

Yelu Caiyun glanced at Chen Cangshan, lightly biting her lip.

This action infuriated Gao Lou, who was dining nearby, his blood rushing to his head as he suddenly stood up and shouted:

"Chen Cangshan, take your filthy hands away, or I'll take you out."

Gao Lou swiftly drew his three-meter-long knife.

The diners in the hall were all taken aback, and the entire place fell into a dead silence.

However, everyone today had consumed quite a bit of alcohol, each one young and impulsive.

Gao Lou's rebuke made Chen Cangshan and his cohort instantly erupt.

Fueled by alcohol, Chen Cangshan stood up, glanced at Gao Lou disdainfully, and suddenly forcefully pulled Yelu Caiyun into his arms.

Yelu Caiyun was startled,

"Young Master Chen?"

Chen Cangshan laughed heartily,

"Caiyun, tell that toad right now that you don't like him at all. You like me, so he can stop competing with me.

I'm baffled why you have such great mental endurance, always competing with me. Are we even on the same level? Do you even have the qualifications to compare with me?"

After a moment of panic, Yelu Caiyun struggled free from Chen Cangshan's embrace and said calmly:

"Young Master Chen, you've had too much to drink today, please respect me!"

Chen Cangshan was taken aback, staring at Yelu Caiyun.

Yelu Caiyun turned to Yelu Qing and said:

"Qinger, let's go back to the inn."

Yelu Caiyun walked towards the tavern entrance, glanced at Gao Lou as she passed by and softly said:

"Gao Lou, drink less, if there's nothing important, rest early, don't cause trouble here."

After speaking, she glanced at Yang Xiao, and walked out of the tavern with Yelu Qing.

Watching Yelu Caiyun's disappearing figure, Gao Lou suddenly laughed and said:

"Chen Cangshan, I haven't seen Caiyun liking you either, are you also like me, imagining things?"

Chen Cangshan, having been humiliated by Yelu Caiyun, felt an inner rage, gritted his teeth:

"Gao Lou, you fat pig, today I'll butcher you!"

Chen Cangshan drew out a tier-one magic killing longsword, his entire being surging with killing aura, stepping towards Gao Lou.

"Come on, am I afraid of you?"

Gao Lou clutched his three-meter-long knife with both hands, blending the smell of alcohol and killing aura.

Chen Cangshan's companions instantly got fired up, continuously shouting:

"Brother Chen, kill this kid."

"Gao Lou is looking for death, it's not Brother Chen's fault."

"Kill, kill, kill....."

A group of drunken youths, stimulated by alcohol and hormones, shouted excitedly.

The tavern owner and several waiters were also scared by this momentum, a bit dumbfounded. If this group fought inside the tavern, it would be instantly demolished, even endangering their lives.

Gao Lou gripped the longsword with both hands, his entire body brimming with killing aura, staring at the approaching Chen Cangshan.

With every step Chen Cangshan took, the killing aura around him grew denser, leaving tables and chairs shattered in their wake.

The moment of explosion was approaching, many people activated their defensive light shields to prevent accidental injuries later.

Yang Xiao said something to Bing'er, who immediately ran out of the tavern.

Step by step, Chen Cangshan approached Gao Lou, the air already solidified.

Yang Xiao picked up his wine glass, downed it in one gulp, and coldly said:

"Are you two planning to die in this town today? Won't go to Flying Leopard Academy tomorrow?

When you fought the other day, the town patrol guards said any more fighting would be unforgiven,

This is your second fight, I think the guards definitely won't spare you two."

Just then, Bing'er led two patrol guards inside.

"Uncle, they're the ones about to fight, I'm so scared, didn't even finish my meal."

Bing'er's crisp voice echoed in the tavern hall.

Chen Cangshan suddenly froze, stopping in his tracks.

Gao Lou also trembled slightly, his three-meter-long knife lowered.

The two patrol guards scanned the scene, coldly saying:

"Fight, continue, don't stop. Today either you two kill each other or I'll kill you, your choice."

"Boom!"

Everyone in the hall was shocked, promptly stowing their defensive light shields.

A few quick-thinking individuals hurriedly walked out of the tavern.

"Haha, this doesn't concern us, has nothing to do with us."

"Yeah, we're just eating, watching the commotion."

"We're leaving,"

More than twenty people filed out, disappearing in the blink of an eye.

Yang Xiao sat at the table, picked up a piece of meat, and chewed gently.

Bing'er clutched a large bone, nibbling on the meat with her small mouth.

Chen Cangshan looked embarrassed, watching the group of followers vanish instantly.

Damn it, everyone ran when trouble arose, screw your mother!

Gao Lou swallowed nervously, staring at Chen Cangshan,

Chen Cangshan stared at Gao Lou, 𝒇𝓻𝓮𝓮𝙬𝙚𝒃𝒏𝓸𝙫𝒆𝙡.𝓬𝓸𝒎

The two stared into each other's eyes.

But the killing aura had disappeared, only awkwardness remained.

Yang Xiao muttered:

"You pigs, still not sheathing your swords and knives?"

Gao Lou and Chen Cangshan listened and immediately withdrew their weapons.

The two patrol guards were unsatisfied,

"Hey, who told you to put them away? Fight, fight, you slash him with a knife, he slashes you with a sword. Weren't you being heroic, weren't you unafraid of death? What, scared now?"
