Super Gene Hunting Ground

Among the onlookers, some had come from the stronghold where Yang Xiao had previously stayed and knew a bit about him. They were aware of his prowess, but still found it hard to judge whether Yang Xiao could defeat Tan Lin.

Most of the people who didn't know Yang Xiao let out a sigh to themselves.

"Is someone from Qingyun City so easily provoked?"

"Exactly, this kid is really courting death!"

"I heard Tan Lin is about to break through to the Enhanced Gene Advanced level. With such combat power, he's already top-notch in our region. Didn't he just defeat Zhou Jian from Magic City?"

...

Although Zhou Jian and the others had confidence in Yang Xiao, they were still worried!

In a flash, Yang Xiao's Divine Sense surged, and with a wave of his hands, a hundred-meter-long monstrous beast tail sliced through the air, viciously slashing at the giant frog tens of meters high in the sky.

Initially, everyone thought the tens of meters high giant frog was terrifying enough, but Yang Xiao's Beast Soul was even more frightening; the hundred-meter-long monstrous tail instantly made the giant frog seem somewhat small.

The scene erupted with exclamations!

Boom!

The enormous tail struck the giant frog fiercely, and the giant frog let out a mournful "croak," its body suddenly contracted, and large cracks spread across its body like a spider web. In an instant, the giant frog was covered in huge fissures.

Tan Lin's heart was shocked; he struggled to sustain his consciousness, only to fail and spew out a mouthful of fresh blood!

The giant frog in midair dismantled instantly, turning into a pile of fragments, fading away into the air.

Then, the crowd saw a red cloud charging directly towards Tan Lin at an unbelievable speed.

Tan Lin was taken aback, hastily grabbing the golden pitchfork in front of him to block.

He barely caught sight of Yang Xiao riding on a horse, thrusting a long spear at him.

Tan Lin attempted to dodge, moving to the side, his golden pitchfork stabbing towards Yang Xiao.

The Flame Horse shifted slightly and smoothly passed beside him.

Tan Lin then felt a pain in his throat, and his whole person was dumbfounded.

Yang Xiao pulled on the reins of the Flame Horse.

At this moment, he had already rushed to a spot twenty or thirty meters behind Tan Lin.

The Flame Horse turned around, Yang Xiao holding the Longquan Spear, his expression stern. People nearby could see that there was a wound several centimeters long on Yang Xiao's right arm, bleeding profusely.

Tan Lin was still standing stiffly in the distance, holding the golden pitchfork.

Zhou Jian saw the wound on Yang Xiao's arm, his heart skipped a beat, and he immediately rushed to the front of the Flame Horse, blocking in front of Yang Xiao, saying:

"Yang Xiao, this is a dispute between us and the Qingyun Team, we will resolve it ourselves."

Yang Xiao gave a faint smile, not saying a word.

Zhou Jian felt something was off and looked down to see a drop of crimson blood on the tip of Yang Xiao's Longquan Spear.

Then, Zhou Jian looked again towards the distant Tan Lin.

He saw Tan Lin's towering figure wobble a few times, then collapse onto the sandy ground.

Suddenly, the entire venue fell into dead silence.

The onlookers who had just faced Tan Lin had already noticed the bloodline on his throat, and it was only now that they realized, Yang Xiao's long spear had already pierced through his throat. However, the spear moved so fast that it was withdrawn almost instantly after entering his throat, the external wound compressed by the skin, while the windpipe and blood vessels within had already been severed, causing the blood to gush within his body.

At the moment Tan Lin fell, blood spurted out from the wound.

The remaining members of the Qingyun Team cried out in alarm and rushed over.

The crowd watching the scene gasped in shock.

Yang Xiao's Soul Skill Sweeping Void that he had just displayed had already astounded them. Unexpectedly, even in close combat, Yang Xiao was still so potent and terrifying, killing the nearly Enhanced Gene Advanced level Tan Lin with just a single thrust of his spear.

In close combat, what is tested are the three main Genetic Attributes: Strength, Agility, and Defense.

It's about whose strength is greater, who is faster and more agile, and who has higher defense.

If Yang Xiao is faster than Tan Lin, then what level is Yang Xiao at? Could he already be at the Enhanced Gene Advanced level?

Amidst his astonishment, Zhou Jian glanced at the Flame Horse beneath Yang Xiao and understood some of it. However, he still found it puzzling how Yang Xiao could precisely stab the opponent's throat.

Riding on the Flame Horse, Yang Xiao, moving swiftly—if it were merely hitting Tan Lin's body, it wouldn't be surprising, given the large target size, which made it easy to hit.

But to precisely strike the opponent's throat, Yang Xiao would need a higher Agility Attribute, to act quicker than the opponent and see more accurately at high speed.

Could it be that Yang Xiao had really stepped into the Enhanced Gene Advanced level?

Of course, Zhou Jian couldn't imagine that Yang Xiao had prioritized his Agility to 50 points, and with a necklace and bracelet each adding 4 points to Agility, his Agility reached an astonishing 58 points, and if he used the Golden Eagle Bow, Yang Xiao's Agility could go up to a horrific 66 points.

Yang Xiao had considered using the Golden Eagle Bow, but using arrows, while faster, would still travel a significant distance from being launched to hitting the target, and the attack damage of an arrow was much lower than the close-range stabbing damage he could deal with the Longquan Spear. He wasn't sure if his arrows could inflict significant damage on the high-defense Tan Lin.

Additionally, while sitting on the Flame Horse and utilizing the movement effect of the horse, he could deal greater direct charging damage. Therefore, he ultimately chose to engage in close combat with the Longquan Spear.

Of course, it was a bit of a risk, having his right arm slashed by Tan Lin's golden pitchfork, leaving a wound over ten centimeters long that was deep enough to see the bone—any deeper and it might have risked a fracture.

Yang Xiao took out two Small Blood Pills and swallowed them. A warm current entered his body, and the wound on his arm stopped bleeding and began to slowly heal.

Meanwhile, far away on the ground, Tan Lin was being frantically administered first aid by the seven members of the Qingyun Team. They tried various methods and consumed three Small Blood Pills, but to no avail.

Yang Xiao had learned from his two prior experiences that if someone's throat was pierced by him, it was difficult to save them with Small Blood Pills. It probably meant that the effects of the Small Blood Pills couldn't be transmitted through the throat into the body to activate the body's healing potential.

He couldn't be bothered to think about the specific reasons—as long as he could kill the opponent, that was all that mattered.

Finally, the Qingyun Team members gave up on saving Tan Lin. Tan Lin lay on the sandy ground, his blood staining the surrounding sand red.

One of the team members stood up, glaring at Yang Xiao furiously:

"Kid, where are you from?"

"Where am I from? What difference does it make to you? I'm from Nanmu City."

"Nanmu City?"

The onlookers became restless.

"Damn, does Nanmu City have someone so formidable? Could Nanmu City's Evolution Level possibly be higher than that of Wentian City or Magic City?"

"How is that possible? Nanmu City is just a small inland city; at most, it's around Level 15."

"Yeah, what Evolution resources could Nanmu City have now? There's only a Star River nearby."

....

Everyone felt even more mystified about Yang Xiao's background.

The members of the Qingyun Team didn't know what to do. Seek revenge? That was impossible. They had all seen Yang Xiao's moves—seeking revenge would be a death sentence, a foolish thing they certainly should not attempt.
