Super Gene Hunting Ground-Chapter 942 - 939: To Master This Skill, You Must First...
Xiao Ling accompanied Yang Xiao in the library to read books.
It was now ten thirty at night. If they suddenly walked out at this time, and the few people outside were here to assassinate Yang Xiao, he might really be in danger.
Even if Xiao Ling helped Yang Xiao to hold them back, it might not be able to effectively protect him, because in the darkness, neither of them knew how many people Qin Xiaotian brought to ambush and attack.
The Advanced Academy Department and the Low-Level Academy Department at Flying Leopard Academy could move around freely, especially the students in the Advanced Academy Department, who had graduated from the Low-Level Academy Department and were very familiar with the environment here.
Xiao Ling felt that the only safe strategy was to have Yang Xiao continue to stay in the library and read, and wait until daylight when those people outside wouldn't dare to attack him openly.
Yang Xiao originally wanted to rush out,
"I just can't believe it; would they really dare to attack me by force inside Flying Leopard Academy? Isn't there a patrol guard team in the academy?"
But then one sentence from Xiao Ling left him speechless:
"Can't you stop showing off? These people are all from the Advanced Academy Department. Each one is above the Empire Level. If several of them attack you together and in the dark, there's simply no way to defend against it. Are you planning to get me killed as well?"
Yang Xiao was taken aback. He could disregard his own life, but not Xiao Ling's. He had to nod in agreement.
So the two of them kept reading in the library.
Yang Xiao, on the other hand, remained calm, while Xiao Ling occasionally looked nervously around to see if anyone had infiltrated the library.
Every newcomer that entered, she would stare at suspiciously for a long time.
Seeing Xiao Ling so nervous, Yang Xiao chuckled and said: 𝑓𝓇𝘦ℯ𝘸𝘦𝑏𝓃𝑜𝘷ℯ𝑙.𝑐𝑜𝓂
"Why are you so timid?"
"I'm worried for whom, do you think?"
Frustrated, Xiao Ling kicked Yang Xiao under the table.
Yang Xiao sighed and kept silent, suddenly recalling the Life and Death Iteration Law of Genetic Evolution, so he asked:
"Have you practiced the Life and Death Iteration Law?"
"No, I told you last time."
"Why haven't you practiced it? Also, did your mentor who taught you practice it?"
Xiao Ling was momentarily stunned and then laughed:
"You can just know about the Life and Death Iteration Law, but don't take it seriously."
"Don't take it seriously? What do you mean?"
Xiao Ling put down the book in her hand, looked at Yang Xiao, and said seriously:
"When I asked my mentor back then, the mentor told me that this Life and Death Iteration Law has a major defect, which makes it untrainable."
"Major defect?"
"Do you know why it's called Life and Death Iteration?"
"?"
"There was once a legend that on the original manuscript of the cultivation technique personally transcribed by a super strong individual, there were eight big characters at the beginning, 'To practice this art,'"
"Must first castrate oneself?"
Yang Xiao blurted out, looking at Xiao Ling.
Xiao Ling was first stunned, then burst into laughter, glancing at Yang Xiao as she laughed.
Yang Xiao's face was awkward,
"Did I say something wrong?"
"Castrate? Besides, the Life and Death Iteration Law isn't only for men to practice; women can practice it too."
"Oh, then what are the other four characters?"
Yang Xiao scratched his head.
"To practice this art, one must first cut their own throat."
"What? Suicide?"
"What, are you scared now?"
Xiao Ling giggled, then explained:
"The cutting here doesn't mean literal suicide. The super strong individual gave a detailed explanation. They said that according to the Life and Death Iteration Law, after reaching a certain critical condition during practice, you have to take a Longsword and pierce your heart, experiencing death once."
"Holy crap!"
Yang Xiao's mouth gaped, looking at Xiao Ling, "Doesn't that mean dying?"
Xiao Ling nodded,
"That's exactly what's terrifying and ruthless about the Life and Death Iteration Law. Each time you reach a certain level in training, you have to commit suicide once. According to the senior expert's explanation, after suicide, you'll only die briefly. Because you've practiced the Life and Death Iteration Law, a special kind of energy will circulate in your body, repairing it on its own and bringing you back to life,
During this revival process, your genes will be reborn, with the genetic sequence being recombined to help you break through the shackles of Genetic Evolution,
It takes ten stages of practice to break through from the Emperor Level Realm to the Emperor Level."
"So, you're saying it takes ten suicides?" Yang Xiao asked.
"Yes."
Xiao Ling nodded.
"I heard from my mentor that this Life and Death Iteration Law was once very popular two hundred years ago. Many people achieved significant accomplishments through it, but because of differences in practitioners' qualifications, many acted too hastily. Some didn't fully grasp the method, leading to many accidents,
As more and more people experienced accidental deaths while practicing the Life and Death Iteration Law, gradually, this method fell out of favor. After all, you only have one life. Committing suicide ten times throughout the process, no one can ensure that each time will be successful,
Later on, to completely eliminate the harm caused by the Life and Death Iteration Law to practitioners, all books documenting the law were destroyed, or the specific practice methods torn out,
Just like the book you saw in the library last time, the specific practice methods were torn out, leaving the Life and Death Iteration Law as just a legend in the basic knowledge introduction."
What the hell, why didn't you tell me earlier? Made me waste so much time.
Yang Xiao cursed inwardly, then asked:
"Why does your mentor explain this Life and Death Iteration Law to you?"
"It's part of his job. After breaking through the Empire Level Realm and entering the Advanced Academy Department, mentors first teach you how to further enhance the space for Genetic Evolution. They'll explain the pros and cons of various Genetic Enhancement Techniques to us, but ultimately the choice of which technique to practice is up to you."
"Then let me ask you, does your academy have the Genetic Transformation Technique of the Great Dragon Empire?"
"The academy only has the first three stages of the Great Dragon Empire's Genetic Transformation Technique: Body Refinement, Bone Forging, and Yijin, but not the most crucial Marrow Cleansing."
Xiao Ling's answer was exactly as Yang Xiao expected, so he wasn't surprised at all, then asked:
"The Flying Leopard Empire's Royal Palace must also have its unique Genetic Transformation Technique, right?"
"Correct, but the Genetic Transformation Technique of the Flying Leopard Palace is also highly classified and won't be spread on the market. Our Flying Leopard Academy doesn't have it either,
The academy provides professional Genetic Evolution cultivation methods, supportive elixirs, and some effective cultivation techniques."
Saying this, Xiao Ling paused, then said:
"If I'm not mistaken, you've been at the Flying Leopard Academy for more than half a year, but you've always stayed in the library and never participated in professional training,
In fact, with your current Peak King Level cultivation, you should be able to break through to the Empire Level with just one or two months of professional training."
Yang Xiao smiled faintly. Actually, he was never worried about not being able to break through to the Empire Level. His target was the Emperor Level, or even higher. Ever since he left Purple Origin Star, he had been searching for a better path of Genetic Evolution.
Xiao Ling added,
"Maybe you have your own secrets, I won't say anything about the past, but now, with the threat of Qin Xiaotian's assassination attempt, I think you need to quickly advance to the Empire Level, which will be safest for you."
"Alright, what you say makes sense. So starting tomorrow, shall I follow you to practice?"
"Actually, there's no need to follow me. The Flying Leopard Academy has a specialized, comprehensive Genetic Enhancement training. You just have to follow the steps."
"But, what if I'm assassinated by Qin Xiaotian, then I'm done for? Without you protecting me by my side, I'm really scared."
Yang Xiao pretended to look pitifully at Xiao Ling.
Xiao Ling: "...."
