Super Gene Hunting Ground-Chapter 955 - 950: Contract

After the discussion among Dean Star River, Zhu Peng, and Director Lu, Qin Xiaotian's challenge to Yang Xiao was basically settled.

Xiao Ling knew the matter was settled, and she couldn't change it, feeling very frustrated.

"Xiao Ling, go back and notify Yang Xiao that the challenge from Qin Xiaotian will take place in three days. Tomorrow, the challenge document will be issued on the academy's challenge list, and the specific content of the challenge will probably depend on how Qin Xiaotian sets it."

Xiao Ling nodded helplessly and got up to leave.

Xiao Ling arrived at the Genetic Enhancement Practice Room. Through the transparent Defense Light Screen, she could see Yang Xiao with his eyes slightly closed, focused on cultivating his Genetic Enhancement Cultivation Technique.

Xiao Ling waited until Yang Xiao finished his cultivation and walked out of the practice room, standing at the door.

"Yang Xiao."

"Don't you need to work recently? There's no need to wait for me here every day."

Yang Xiao said with a smile.

"Heartless."

Xiao Ling muttered softly.

Since Yang Xiao accidentally entered the bathroom last time and saw Xiao Ling's body, the relationship between the two had become quite delicate.

Yang Xiao deliberately pretended to be relaxed and unconcerned and intentionally distanced himself, but now their relationship was like a rubber band—the more you pull it apart, the stronger the force to shrink.

The two often saw the passionate eyes of each other amidst playful banter, their hearts racing.

"Alright, consider it that I spoke wrongly. I'll treat you to dinner."

"That's more like it."

Laughing and chatting along the way, they arrived at the cafeteria, bought a meal, and found a table to sit down and eat.

"Yang Xiao, how far are you from breaking through to the Empire Level Realm?"

"I shouldn't be far off now. I only need 1 more point each for the Agility Attribute and Defense Attribute, and the other two attributes have already been increased to 100 points."

"Can you break through if you intensify your cultivation over the next couple of days?"

"I'm not sure about that. I've invested all my time into it already, how can I intensify it further?"

"For example, directly enter Practice Room No. 2; the particle beam energy there is double that of Practice Room No. 1, the effect will be better. However, if your body can't withstand it, it might be troublesome."

The human body has a gradual adaptation process to the particle beam energy in the practice rooms, which is unrelated to the Genetic Evolution Level; it just requires time.

From Practice Room No. 1 to Practice Room No. 2, No. 3... the particle beam energy in each practice room increases continuously. Normal people must cultivate progressively in each practice room, allowing their bodies to continually absorb the particle beam energy and gradually adapt, changing their genetic conditions.

If this process is rushed, the body might experience side effects, with minor damage to body functions or, in severe cases, life-threatening harm.

Yang Xiao glanced at Xiao Ling,

"Why are you suddenly so concerned about my genetic evolution speed? Is something the matter?"

Xiao Ling couldn't keep things inside and immediately put down the chopsticks with a sigh,

"I'll be honest with you; you killed Qin Yue, so the Qin family wants to seek revenge against you. Thankfully, the Dean stood up for you and didn't hand you over to the Qin family. However,"

"However, what?"

"Qin Yue's current brother is the Flying Leopard Emperor's own sister, with formidable influence, so the Dean can't completely disregard them either. Hence, they came up with a compromise, 𝙛𝓻𝒆𝓮𝒘𝙚𝙗𝒏𝙤𝙫𝓮𝒍.𝓬𝒐𝙢

letting Qin Xiaotian issue a life-and-death challenge to you, which you can only accept and cannot refuse. If you defeat Qin Xiaotian, the academy will waive all future expenses,

If you're not Qin Xiaotian's match, you'll be killed on the spot by him to avenge his brother Qin Yue."

As Xiao Ling spoke, she lowered her head, looking very dejected.

Yang Xiao listened and calmly smiled, saying:

"I thought it was something serious and turns out it's Qin Yue's brother coming to challenge me. What's the big deal? If he wants to seek revenge, come directly. Why bother with this life-and-death challenge fuss?"

Listening to this, Xiao Ling's eyes lit up, looking at Yang Xiao.

"You're not afraid?"

"Afraid? Does it help if I'm afraid?"

"..."

Xiao Ling was left speechless by Yang Xiao's question, stunned for several seconds, unable to answer, only sighing a while later to say:

"I'm worried about you,"

"Life and death are destined, wealth and honor are divinely arranged. Don't worry about me. If I'm really killed by Qin Xiaotian, just give me a burial and pay respects annually, heehee."

"How can you be so abhorrent? At such a time, still joking around."

Xiao Ling got anxious, looking at Yang Xiao with tears welling up in her eyes.

Seeing this, Yang Xiao softened, and he gently said:

"Just a joke. Why worry so?"

"Then tell me honestly, are you confident in handling Qin Xiaotian? He's almost breaking through to the Empire Middle Level Realm."

Yang Xiao couldn't bear to see Xiao Ling worry and had to say:

"If he doesn't have any special tricks, it's not a big problem."

"Really?"

Xiao Ling's tears turned into a smile, with two drops rolling down.

Seeing Xiao Ling shedding tears for him, Yang Xiao also trembled inside, unconsciously reaching out to gently wipe the teardrop from Xiao Ling's cheek.

Xiao Ling did not evade, allowing Yang Xiao to gently brush against her cheek.

Their eyes met, both feeling an inner tremor.

Xiao Ling quickly lowered her head in embarrassment, biting her red lips lightly.

Yang Xiao retrieved his hand, somewhat awkwardly said:

"I'm finished eating."

Xiao Ling quickly transferred the meat from her meal box to Yang Xiao's, chuckling:

"Eat all this meat, at least it can boost some Evolution Energy."

"I'm afraid I will exceed the Empire Level in weight before breaking through, I feel like I've been gaining weight recently."

"Heehee, you're a guy, a little chubby doesn't matter. Besides, your figure is so good now, where are you fat?"

Yang Xiao could only laugh bitterly, eating the food filled with love happily.

...

Zhu Peng arrived at the academy's guesthouse and found Qin He and Qin Xiaotian.

"Xiaotian, the Dean has agreed to let you seek revenge in the form of a challenge. No matter the final result, we hope that your Qin family can stop pursuing this matter further. Can you do that?"

Qin He glanced at Qin Xiaotian.

Qin Xiaotian nodded and said,

"Uncle, don't worry, I will definitely kill Yang Xiao and avenge my brother."

Qin He then nodded and said,

"Alright, we accept Dean Star River's arrangement."

Zhu Peng slightly smiled, taking out a contract document and handing it to Qin He, saying,

"Words alone are not proof. This is a contract drafted by the academy, the main idea being that a single battle will resolve the grievances—whether Qin Xiaotian kills Yang Xiao or Yang Xiao kills Qin Xiaotian, the Qin family cannot come to Flying Leopard Academy seeking revenge again."

Qin He glanced at the contract, suddenly feeling a bit uneasy inside.

"Xiaotian, are you really confident in killing Yang Xiao?"

"Uncle, don't you trust me?"

"Alright, uncle trusts you. I will represent the Qin family and the Flying Leopard Academy to sign the agreement."

Qin He took the contract, reviewed it carefully, and handed it to Qin Xiaotian, who also saw nothing wrong with it.

Qin He signed and stamped, the contract was in duplicate, with each party taking a copy.

"Boss Qin, Xiaotian, I still need to report back to the Dean. Tomorrow morning, you can challenge Yang Xiao through the academy's challenge list. Farewell."

(One more update to come.)
