Super Gene Hunting Ground

Today is the last day of training.

Yang Xiao and others stood inside the third-floor hall, cultivating the Surging Wave Hitting Shore Genetic Transformation Technique. Thirty days ago, when they first practiced this technique, they could only hear a faint sound of waves by their ears.

Now, Yang Xiao felt as if he was standing in the midst of the ocean, with 2-meter-high waves constantly crashing against his body, his body like the rocks by the seaside, enduring the impact of the waves.

In the subsequent stair-climbing training, everyone could run up to the 88th floor's rooftop with relative ease, cutting the time from a month before by half.

Of course, Yang Xiao still led the pack, and his lead had extended to a full 2 floors.

No one complained about doing a thousand push-ups in the afternoon anymore; it was only a matter of who could complete them faster.

Yang Xiao persisted until the last person finished their thousand push-ups, by which time he had completed fifteen hundred.

With two bottles of Genetic Transformation Potions every day, everyone had been drinking them for a continuous month. Along with the Genetic Transformation Technique and intense physical training, everyone's bodies had undergone positive changes. Even if the Genetic Attribute did not increase, one would still feel stronger, faster, and more agile.

Master Long stood in the hall, scanned the 138 youths before him, and said loudly:

"Genetic modification cannot be completed in a day, nor in a month. The methods of cultivation we've taught you this month—you must continue to practice them after you return, to achieve the best effects."

"We don't have Genetic Transformation Potions when we go back, how can we continue to practice?"

Someone whispered.

"I have considered this issue. After you go back, you can collect Genetic Transformation Potions from your own Genetic Store in one go. However, there will be a cost. A thousand Crystal Coins per bottle."

Master Long finished speaking, and people started swearing internally. This seemed like a rip-off, reminiscent of those companies before the apocalypse that scammed the elderly by offering free health products and trials.

First, they give you a taste for free, then they ask you to buy with money.

Master Long seemed to sense everyone's resentment, chuckled, and said:

"You can also choose not to buy them, it's all voluntary."

In his heart, Yang Xiao wanted to curse.

Of course, two thousand Crystal Coins a day was a small sum for the people present; no one would give up.

"In addition to the Genetic Transformation Potion, it's very important to continuously practice the Surging Wave Hitting Shore Technique, as well as maintaining the high-intensity physical training. Combined, those with fast enough progress and good talent among you may be able to complete the Body Refining Stage within about half a year. Once you complete body refining, I will lead you into the next stage of Bone Forging cultivation."

Everyone heard this and realized that it would be impossible to complete the whole genetic modification process in less than 2 or 3 years.

"Tonight is the last time you will stay in this building. By 12 noon tomorrow, everyone must leave. Additionally, within one month, you can decide when to return to your own cities. If you exceed one month, you will need to pay one hundred thousand Crystal Coins to the Genetic Store downstairs to open the Transmission Array for you to go home. That's it, the training is hereby concluded."

Everyone bowed to Master Long and walked out of the third-floor hall with cheers of joy.

The atmosphere was very lively in the dining room as everyone gathered for a meal. After thirty days of living together, all were acquainted with each other.

Du Tianxing, the City King of Magic City, stood up and exclaimed loudly:

"Fellow brothers, it has been a month since everyone came to Magic City. As the host, I have not yet entertained everyone, which I'm sorry for. So, tomorrow, I invite everyone to come and play in my territory for a few days; please honor me with your presence."

Gu Beifeng, the King of Wentian City, immediately said:

"Brother Du has extended a generous invitation, and of course, I will come."

Yang Xiao also said:

"Certainly, I've heard you have plenty of good wine here. Tomorrow we'll drink to our heart's content, brothers, don't leave."

During these thirty days of training, everyone recognized the core status of Gu Beifeng, Du Tianxing, and Yang Xiao. Gu Beifeng and Du Tianxing were the only two King Level Evolvers from the Xuanming Country region, while Yang Xiao, even though his Evolution Level was a little lower, had been affirmed by Master Long and had limitless Evolution Space for the future.

If these three were going, the rest would naturally follow; it was a chance to bond privately.

Everyone was clear in their hearts that to ensure the peaceful development of their own cities in the future Xuanming Country region, they could not offend these three individuals.

"Alright, we'll go. Brother Du, prepare more good wine, and it would be even better if there are beautiful women."

"Get out of here. Haven't you had enough fun this month?"

"Haha..."

After dinner, people went out for walks in small groups, chatted, and some even visited the Genetic Store to check out Weapons and Equipment. Many City Kings had forged good friendships, agreeing to open Transmission Arrays to facilitate future interactions.

According to the building's rules, everyone had to return by 10 o'clock to sleep and rest.

Yang Xiao stayed in his room, feeling somewhat bored, so he began cultivating Surging Wave Hitting Shore, listening to the sound of the waves, feeling the undulation and washing of the sea.

An hour later, Yang Xiao took a hot shower and went to bed—it was his last comfortable night in the building; from tomorrow on, he would return to the primitive society's icy and snowy dwelling environments.

Habitually reaching for the teacup on the bedside cabinet, he opened it and found that it contained plain boiled water today.

Ever since Yang Xiao moved into this room, the teacup had always been there, and each night he would habitually pick it up to drink a few sips, the tea containing special Evolution Energy that had already made Yang Xiao somewhat addicted.

"Eh, why is it plain boiled water today? Damn it, I haven't even left yet, and the service has already changed?"

Yang Xiao couldn't be bothered to make a fuss, took a couple of sips, and went to sleep.

In the middle of the night, half-asleep, Yang Xiao felt someone sitting by his bed. He opened his eyes and saw number 25 sitting there, watching him.

Am I dreaming?

Yang Xiao asked.

...

The next morning, Yang Xiao woke up,

got out of bed, took a hot shower, put on his clothes and Armor, and noticed that a notepad was open on the bedside cabinet.

It was a notepad from before the apocalypse that was available in hotels. Yang Xiao had never touched it; it had remained in the drawer of the cabinet.

Yang Xiao leaned in to read the line written there:

My name is Jingjing!
