Super Gene Ⅱ: Evolution-Chapter 660: The Battle for Points
```
The appearance of a 3.7 rating immediately caused a sensation.
Many had thought that a rating of 3.5 might already be the true limit, but now with the sudden emergence of a 3.7 rating, everyone realized that 3.5 was not the limit after all.
Tian He’s name also spread across the entire universe in a short period of time.
People were speculating about who exactly Tian He was and whether it was a real or fake name.
If it were a real name, the surname Tian was the most common among the Celestial Race.
However, it seemed more likely that it was a pseudonym, with Tian He clearly taken from the phrase ’favorable timing, geographical convenience, and good human relations’.
"Tian He, what an audacious claim, hogging all the good fortune in the world," one said.
"Well, they do have the capital to do so, with a unique 3.7 rating in the universe," another responded.
"3.7, how did he manage that? Even Sha Qianpo’s Tiger Soul Blade Technique didn’t reach 3.5."
"Does Fist God still stand a chance to come back?"
"It seems rather unlikely, doesn’t it? If Fist God managed to get both skills to 3.5, that’s already strong enough; he can’t possibly have any hidden strength left."
"I think this 3.7 rating won’t be surpassed for a short time."
An Jiahe looked at the various news on the internet, his eyes filled with scorn: "Ignorant lower races, what you call the ceiling is merely the floor to me."
An Jiahe was browsing the internet, reading all sorts of admiring comments about him, when suddenly he noticed a shift in the direction of the comments.
"Someone got a 3.8 rating?" An Jiahe frowned slightly. According to the comments, he checked the news.
Indeed, the latest news was all about a guy named Qiuyu who, on the Fan Sect ranking list, had beaten Fist God to take the position of Fan King, and his rating was even one point higher than his 3.7, reaching an astonishing 3.8.
"Who is it? Choosing to score like this at this time, are they challenging me?" An Jiahe’s eyes turned a bit chilly.
He naturally knew that the real top warriors of the universe had not yet been listed, as most of them were participating in the cosmic ranking battles. The current rankings were far from the real ones.
Those who were listed at this time were basically engaging in minor skirmishes; the real rankings would not truly commence until after the Ranking Battles of the races were over.
But now somebody decided to compete with him, and An Jiahe wasn’t planning on indulging them.
An Jiahe returned to Chiyou Temple and chose to challenge, once again using the "Light Seeing Death" Blade Technique. It was ostensibly the same technique without apparent change, yet this time his rating reached 3.9, beating Qiuyu by a hard-won 0.1 point.
This 0.1 was not the limit for An Jiahe, but rather it further demonstrated his terror. He could clearly be stronger, yet he controlled it to just surpass Qiuyu by 0.1 point.
The continuously rising ratings set new records and made the entire universe boil over. Many could see that Tian He seemed to be seriously contending with Qiuyu.
While people were guessing whether Qiuyu would respond, they found Qiuyu’s rating had also changed, and it directly jumped to 4.0.
"So it turns out that not only are there techniques exceeding a 3.5 in the universe, but they surpass it by far."
"There can’t really be a technique with a full 100 points, can there? What would a technique with a perfect score be like?"
"Can Tian He still make a comeback? 4.0 is already high, it can’t possibly go any higher, right?"
"Here it comes... it’s here... it’s here again... Tian He at 4.1..."
```
Qiuyu and Tian He’s ratings kept soaring, clearly escalating their efforts, and the entire universe had already begun to celebrate wildly.
The 3.5 rating and the title of Fist God had been cast aside and forgotten.
Tian He and Qiuyu were now the focus of the entire universe; everyone was speculating as to who would ultimately win this rating battle.
Lin Shen did not care who would come out on top in the end; he was dissatisfied that his position as Fan King had been taken away again.

He had wanted to reclaim his ranking, but seeing Qiuyu’s continuously rising scores, he wasn’t sure he could take it back and had to give up for the time being.
"Once I practice some more, I’ll kill you all." Now that he had lost his last two royal talents, Lin Shen felt somewhat depressed and had no choice but to give up the talent buffs and earnestly practice on his own.
Without the talent buffs, Lin Shen’s practice didn’t go as smoothly, but this also led him to discover some issues he hadn’t noticed before.
Lin Shen made adjustments little by little, realizing that the Bloodlife Blade Skill didn’t necessarily have to be used with a blade; it could work with a folding fan as well.
However, the techniques needed some modification to better suit the characteristics of a fan.
The Bloodlife Blade Skill, combined with the Butterfly Fan Skill, felt incredibly awkward at first, but the results were surprisingly effective.
When Lin Shen went back to using a blade, he thought about incorporating the techniques and theories of the Butterfly Fan Skill as well.
While Lin Shen was studying these skills, the rating battle between Qiuyu and Tian He continued on the other side, with their ratings both having soared to 4.3. Then they stopped moving, leaving everyone wondering if they had reached their limits or simply had no plans to continue competing.
"There are not many masters who use fans; could this Qiuyu be the Heavenly Consort?" An Jiahe’s face darkened. His Light Seeing Death Blade Technique had reached its limit, and the 4.3 rating could not be improved upon.
Qiuyu also had a rating of 4.3, which he found somewhat unacceptable.
If it were an Immortal who obtained such a score, An Jiahe wouldn’t see it as an issue.
But he suspected Qiuyu was the Heavenly Consort, which he found hard to accept.
Just as he suspected Qiuyu to be the Heavenly Consort, she likewise suspected Tian He to be An Jiahe.
Having disputed covertly and openly within the Celestial Race for many years, the Heavenly Consort knew An Jiahe well. The name Tian He was much in line with An Jiahe’s personality, so she harbored suspicions as well.
It was because of this suspicion that the Heavenly Consort wished to suppress the other’s ratings, and in the end, she neither won nor lost.
Tied at a rating of 4.3, it had now become the ceiling for all ratings.
The ratings of these two individuals had turned into a media frenzy, with one piece of news after another and various speculations and analyses causing a blur for the audience.
Even as the ratings of the two remained stagnant at 4.3, the celebratory mania continued.
No one cared anymore about who the Fist God was; all they wanted to know was the true identities of Qiuyu and Tian He.
Lin Shen had no interest in who gained how much in ratings; he was busy fighting against himself.
While practicing, Lin Shen realized that the Butterfly Fan Skill didn’t actually require his control; once he tossed out his folding fan, it would transform in the air on its own.
So Lin Shen came up with an idea. After throwing out the folding fan, he would defend against its unpredictable changes with the Bloodlife Blade Technique.
The Butterfly Fan Skill was ever-changing, nearly infinite in its variations, which was perfect for training the defensive capabilities of the Bloodlife Blade Technique.
The defensive aspect of the Bloodlife Blade Technique, in turn, allowed Lin Shen to understand how he could better utilize the Butterfly Fan Skill.
