Super Gene Ⅱ: Evolution-Chapter 616: Mutated Thunder Kunpeng
Lin Shen’s mood had improved, but the big shots observing the battle felt just as stifled as Di Esi, all of them uncomfortable with restraint.
In the territory of the Supreme Clan, to let someone from an outside race defeat Di Esi with a numerical advantage was unheard of.
Yes, in their eyes, Lin Shen had won with numbers on his side, for without the War Song boost from the four women of the band, even with his Weakening Skills, he wouldn’t have possibly been Di Esi’s opponent.
Now, they suddenly felt that it would have been better to let Lin Shen go when he was showing off his acting skills.
If they had let him go then, at least Di Esi’s reputation as the invincible one would have remained untarnished.
By conceding defeat in this manner, not only did Di Esi feel aggrieved, but they all similarly shared in the humiliation, losing face both inwardly and outwardly, yet they couldn’t express any of it.
"No, we can’t just let him go like this. This isn’t a real duel; the result doesn’t count," one of the big shots said angrily, slamming the table and rising to his feet. He looked toward Lou Ran and said, "You are Di Esi’s master, what do you have to say?"
"Young man, experiencing some setbacks isn’t a bad thing. Di Esi was previously too unchallenged, losing a battle might be a good thing," Lou Ran said calmly.
Indeed, she thought so too. Di Esi had indeed previously had it too easy, and facing some setbacks now was better than suffering a major loss in a true life-and-death battle later on.
Lin Shen had taught Di Esi two lessons today, and far from feeling that Lin Shen had been deceitful, Lou Ran was actually quite appreciative that he had managed to give Di Esi these two lessons.
Once Lou Ran had spoken, the other big shots had nothing to add, and besides, this was a battle between Di Esi and Lin Shen, where they truly had no place to intervene.
The Supreme Academy had its own rules, and they couldn’t bully a mere Ascension Level individual. Even if they wanted to, the rules would not permit it, and all the more so since Lin Shen wasn’t just an ordinary Ascender; he was representing the Celestial Race on this trip.
"No, this doesn’t count. It was clearly agreed to be a duel. You had Ye Xing and the others help you, which is just bullying by numbers and was not a one-on-one duel at all," a voice expressed their inner thoughts.
The speaker was Tian Yunxiang, who had been watching the battle from the island.
She had expected to see Di Esi defeating Lin Shen and displaying his supreme divine prowess.
Instead, she could only watch Di Esi’s frustrating concession, empathizing deeply as if she herself had been slighted, and stood out, indignantly speaking up for Di Esi.
Lin Shen was already unfazed by such reactions; he wasn’t surprised in the least by the brainless girl’s remarks.
If this had been a real battlefield, such a person would likely be beheaded by a commander as a sacrifice to their banner.
However, this was not a battlefield, and Tian Yunxiang wasn’t human. It was the Celestial Race’s and Emperor Tianshu’s affair if the Celestial Race produced such a foolish Princess, and Lin Shen had no connection to that, nor would he worry for the troubles of the Celestial Race.
"I’ll bother you about changing the name on the Jade Plaque some other time; we will take our leave now," Lin Shen said, paying no attention to Tian Yunxiang, ready to teleport away.
"Lin Shen, I’m speaking to you. Didn’t you hear me?" Tian Yunxiang blocked Lin Shen’s way, puffing with anger.
"Princess Yunxiang, what do you want then? Do you only feel satisfied if I die at Di Esi’s hands? If so, you go ask the Emperor’s permission. Just one word from him, and without Di Esi having to lift a finger, I would chop off my own head and present it to him," Lin Shen said, looking coldly at Tian Yunxiang.
"I... That’s not what I meant…" Tian Yunxiang was a bit intimidated by Lin Shen’s demeanor and involuntarily averted her gaze, unable to meet his eyes.
"What do you mean by that?" Lin Shen asked coldly.
"I... I just want you to fight a fair battle with Di Esi..." Tian Yunxiang seemed to feel that it was shameful to be intimidated by Lin Shen and said somewhat angrily, "Our Celestial Race must win honorably, how can we use such despicable means? That’s not what heroes do."
"When did I ever say I was a hero?" Lin Shen replied indifferently.

"You..." Tian Yunxiang was suddenly at a loss for words.
"Princess Yunxiang, I appreciate your righteous words on my behalf, but I have already lost, and that is an indisputable fact," Di Esi spoke up.
"You have not lost, you were simply outnumbered," Tian Yunxiang said.
"Loss is loss, unrelated to any other matter," Di Esi said, looking at Lin Shen seriously, "I was defeated this time, but next time I will win back. I hope when I see you again, you will have become even stronger."
After he spoke, Di Esi prepared to send Lin Shen and the others away from Thousand Islands Star.
Suddenly, the sea surged with towering waves as a massive creature emerged like a cosmic battleship, soaring into the sky.
The gigantic body in the sky seemed to cover the entire sky, casting shadows over the small islands and the nearby seas.
More terrifying was that the giant creature’s body was entwined with azure lightning. The lightning spread all around, and in an instant, the sky was everywhere filled with spider-web-like flickering azure lightning.
"That is... a mutated Thunder Kunpeng..." The watching powerhouses all changed color, the images before their eyes suddenly cut off, the projection losing signal.
Lou Ran vanished in a flash, and upon realizing the situation, many powerhouses disappeared one after another, rushing toward the teleportation array of Thousand Islands Star.
The mutated Thunder Kunpeng is a unique Nirvana Creature of Thousand Islands Star, and not just any ordinary Nirvana Creature.
"When a Thunder Kunpeng enters the water, it becomes a Kun; when it ascends to the heaven, it is a Peng, its body is immensely huge, and it possesses the power of Infinite Yin Yang Thunder."
"The Infinite Yin Yang Thunder has the Attribute of devouring and destroying all things. Once hit by Infinite Yin Yang Thunder, the body will lose all ability to resist."
"If it’s a Nirvana-Level being, there may be a chance to use the Power of Nirvana to withstand a bit of the Infinite Yin Yang Thunder, but that would have to be a Nirvana Being with top-level Nirvana Attributes. Ordinary Nirvana Beings, even with the Power of Nirvana, would still lose the ability to resist upon contact with the Infinite Yin Yang Thunder."

"Originally, to eliminate a single Thunder Kunpeng, several Nirvana Beings died, and that was under the circumstance of being besieged by more than a dozen Nirvana Beings, and that was a non-mutated Thunder Kunpeng at that."
"The mutated Thunder Kunpeng they had just seen, was far more terrifying than the one previously eliminated by the Academy. If anything happened to Di Esi, Tian Yunxiang, or Lin Shen, the Celestial Race would not let it go easily."
"The fury of the Celestial Race was one thing, but what they could least accept was any issue with Di Esi."
"With the appearance of the mutated Thunder Kunpeng, lightning bolts darted everywhere between heaven and earth. Lin Shen immediately shouted for everyone to hurry and teleport away."
"But when he tried to activate the wrist inheritance device, he found it didn’t work."
"As lightning enveloped the sky, Di Esi shone with a divine radiance, confronting the heavens, and the dust within a kilometre radius sparkled like stars, gathering toward his hand."
