Chen Feng, of modern earth, had suffered bad luck since birth. After finding the legendary "lucky artifact," his bad luck peaked and he became the only person killed in an earthquake. By a twist of fate, he found himself transmigrated into a different and magical world! A world much larger than earth. A world only partially explored due to the dangers within. A world where human civilization centered around genes. In this world, human beings possessed all sorts of abilities due to genetic fusion. Some went on to create world-changing technologies with their mysterious genetic abilities, while others went on to become undefeated genetic warriors with their combat genetic abilities. How will Chen Feng fare in this new world?

Chapter 271: Mysterious Radiance

Translator: Limostn Editor: Tennesh

Victory. Chen Feng exhaled in relief as he looked at the departing figure of that middle-aged man.

"Are they gone?"Wu Hui's feet weakened, and he almost slumped down onto the ground. Chen Feng rushed forth to hold him up. He had only unleashed several attacks earlier, but the cost he'd paid to battle those of higher classes than him was quite huge.

All the energy Wu Hui had on him was already overdrafted. If he'd truly had to battle that A-class warrior, he could only put his life on the line.

"Let's go," Chen Feng said.

"Mhm," Wu Hui answered meekly.

Without their enemies around, he seemed to have reverted to his previous attitude.

"Remember, your ability is something you can't tell anyone about. The fewer people that are aware of how your ability works, the stronger you will be. If everyone knows about your ability, you will most probably become true trash. Do you understand?" Chen Feng had a solemn expression as he said this.

Wu Hui nodded resolutely. "Mhm."

He was too clear on how precious what Chen Feng had given him was.

Shua!

They left speedily.

This was not a place they should stay long. Since those genetic warriors had already left, they should leave as soon as possible as well. However, just as they stood up… distantly, a bizarre radiance bloomed suddenly from the direction facing the entrance of the Qinghe Grassland.

Hum—

Instantly, the whole world started turning gray.

Wu Hui was alarmed. "What's that?"

Distantly, the areas enveloped by the radiance were all turning a gray color. Furthermore, it was spreading at an extremely high speed, rushing toward this direction.

Shua!

The green grassland was turning gray speedily. Not only the grassland, the air, other vegetations, and everything one could see were turning a gray color.

Chen Feng's heart thumped. "Something is happening."

In front of them, several silhouettes appeared. They were the genetic squad that had just left not long ago. Evidently, they were all shocked by what happened and were escaping toward this direction as well.

"Go!" Chen Feng did not hesitate. He dragged Wu Hui and started escaping. What joke was that? Even that A-class genetic warrior was running from the gray radiance; what could they achieve by staying here?

Shua!

The radiance kept spreading.

Everyone was escaping frantically. However, could they outrun it?

Hum—

Hum—

Accompanied by a flash of light, countless people vanished instantly.

"Damn it!" Chen Feng's heart chilled. The speed was too fast! If this continued, they stood no chance of escaping! Luck value?

Chen Feng tried activating his Luck Aura. However, it didn't work. Regardless of how Chen Feng urged it to work, Luck Aura did not give him any feedback.

As of now, the radiance was nearing him. That A-class warrior was running hastily with his nephew. However, could they escape it?

Chen Feng clenched his teeth. "This can't continue!"

In the midst of running, he saw a pit not far away.

Perhaps…

Whoosh!

He leaped into the pit with Wu Hui.

Seal!

A succession of Wind Blade was unleashed, sealing the entrance to the pit.

Purple submarine!

To be safe, Chen Feng even summoned the purple submarine he'd used at the frozen sea, as this submarine possessed an extremely powerful energy-blocking ability.

Clang!

Done. Chen Feng and Wu Hui even stopped breathing just to be safe.

Facing this crisis, he had done all he could. As for the rest, he could only submit to the will of the heavens. That bizarre radiance reached them noiselessly.

Hum—

A bizarre radiance emerged.

Here it comes!

Chen Feng's heart thumped.

He could clearly see how that radiance seemed to ignore the terrain there, ignored the purple submarine, ignored everything and gushed toward him and Wu Hui directly.

It's over!

Chen Feng's heart chilled.

Hands… arms… everything was turning gray at an inconceivable speed.

However, right at this instant, on that figurine he'd obtained from the frozen sea, on the body of that mysterious young lady, a gust of radiance abruptly bloomed. Noiselessly, it started spreading. Next, the invading bizarre radiance paused before stopping completely.

After a short while, the radiance took a detour around Chen Feng and Wu Hui before continuing to spread elsewhere.

Saved?

Chen Feng's heart jolted wildly.

This thing…

Chen Feng took out the figurine. For unknown reason, this figurine of a young lady with a miniskirt appeared even more lifelike at this moment. It was giving Chen Feng an extremely lifelike feeling!

Is this really an ordinary figurine? Ten years ago… Gou Li's squad that was hunted… those people that were killed because of this figurine…

Chen Feng was inwardly amazed. "What are you, exactly?"

Unfortunately, no one could answer his questions.

The radiance continued spreading while he and Wu Hui continued hiding underground.

After an unknown period of time, when the figurine finally reverted to its usual appearance and the radiance around them disappeared, Chen Feng and Wu Hui exhaled in relief.

They had survived this by fluke!

"Let's go."

Carefully, Chen Feng left the pit.

If that radiance truly possessed the power to destroy everything, everything outside should have been destroyed by now. However, when Chen Feng left the pit, he was stunned.

Out there, everything was now gray in color. The whole Qinghe Grassland had turned gray. Apart from gray, there was also white, black, and weird mixtures of gray, black, and white.

It was like a scene out of some old black-and-white film.

At this instant, Chen Feng felt like he had gone back in time and entered one of those black-and-white film.

Chen Feng was stunned. "What exactly is going on?"

Black and white… Everything was black and white…

The grass on the ground, the fruit on the tree, the soil…

What had happened here?

Is this the effect of that radiance? Radiation? Or some unknown powerful ability?

Chen Feng sunk into a solemn mood. This was truly a world where everything was possible. Even if one were to hide in one's home, a meteor might fall on your house from the sky. Hence…

"Go!"

He left speedily with Wu Hui.

Regardless of what had happened here, since this had happened to the whole Qinghe Grassland, they had to leave as soon as possible. Soon, they reached the entrance of the Qinghe Grassland. It could be seen that outside the grassland was still a multicolored world like before.

Chen Feng exhaled in relief. "Seems like this only happened to the grassland."

Go!

Shua!

Taking Wu Hui with him, he walked out.

Hum—

A bizarre undulation appeared.

Bang!

Chen Feng and Wu Hui were bounced back into the grassland.

What's going on?

Chen Feng was shocked. They couldn't leave!

Currently, someone from the outside world was stepping into the Qinghe Grassland. Chen Feng stared blankly as the newcomer was right in front of him yet ignored him and stepped over the entrance into the grassland directly.

Next… just as the newcomer stepped through the entrance, the newcomer disappeared.

There were also several groups that had entered the entrance before disappearing. Chen Feng had initially believed that those who'd entered were all dead. However, some of the newcomers had decided to return to the camp to buy something after entering. Hence, those people stepped out of the grassland and once again appeared in front of Chen Feng once they passed through the entrance and arrived outside.

They were all talking and laughing to each other casually, seemingly not affected by what had happened here at all.

In other words, these people had not realized what had happened here.

How is that possible?

Chen Feng inhaled deeply. Apart from that, it was evident that the newcomers could not see him or anything here either. This almost felt like they were both located in two different dimensions.

Wait.

Chen Feng abruptly realized something.

Could it be that the radiance earlier transformed space and time itself? What place is this?

Chapter 272: Different Style and Can't Get Along

Translator: Limostn Editor: Tennesh

Chen Feng and Wu Hui were carefully traveling within the Qinghe Grassland. Currently, they were behaving the same way they had when they'd first entered the grassland, advancing cautiously. This was because they had noticed that the whole Qinghe Grassland seemed to have changed. It was still the same place, but everything else was different.

That mysterious pit that had appeared in the ground…

The weeds that were one meter tall…

At first, they had believed that these were merely aftereffects of the radiance earlier. However, now that they paid more attention and observed them, they found that these things were completely different than before.

Not only the length or size of the things, even the species had changed. For example, a certain random bush of weeds somewhere turned into a bush of mysterious icy scarlet flowers, a plant that was supposed to only appear after a hundred years of utmost care. There was definitely a problem somewhere.

The scariest part was Wu Yaotian's boulder formation. There, the formation was already nowhere to be seen. Instead, what appeared there was an imposing palace that appeared shiny and glorious.

"How did this happen?"

Chen Feng's heart leaped furiously. He could feel how imposing this palace was. Perhaps everything that had happened here was related to that palace.

Could it be that the boulder formation of Wu Yaotian's had triggered some sort of mysterious yet formidable power?

If that was the case…

Suddenly, some silhouettes appeared in the distance.

Chen Feng pressed Wu Hui down as they lied low in the bush. "Careful."

Distantly, a group of soldiers were patrolling in an orderly fashion, solemn expressions on their faces.

"They are patrolling," Wu Hui whispered.

Chen Feng was alarmed. "Mhm."

Patrolling… Where had these people come from? Had they truly entered a different space-time continuum earlier? What damnable place was this?

An illusion?

Unlikely.

A different dimension?

That did not seem too likely. He had obviously seen some newcomers when at the entrance earlier.

This feeling, it was like two groups of people inside and outside a TV.

Wait…

Suddenly, Chen Feng understood. Their current situation resembled someone who had been trapped inside some black-and-white TV. However, the difference was that they were actually trapped in an independent space. This was the power of space, a power similar to that unique power of space he had encountered previously.

However, for this particular space, the rules of this space dictated that the world would be a gray-colored world.

This was Chen Feng's guess.

Chen Feng frowned. "If so, these soldiers… these people… are all fake?"

After observing the palace for a short while, Chen Feng decided to leave with Wu Hui. "Let's check out the other places. At the very least, we need to get a clear understanding of this place first."

Wu Hui nodded. "Mhm."

They left speedily and started exploring the whole Qinghe Grassland.

However, when they reached the depths of the grassland, they stopped their steps. There, they saw an acquaintance.

That's right, an acquaintance. It was the strongest person from the squad they'd met earlier, the A-class genetic warrior.

He noticed them as well. "It's you!"

"What happened here?"

Instantly, Wu Hui recovered his cool disposition and Chen Feng retreated backward cautiously.

"I don't know." The middle-aged man shook his head lightly. Shortly after, his expression became cold and detached. "This is a question that I should be asking you guys."

Wu Hui raised his eyebrow. "What do you mean?"

"This place… When everyone else turned black and white, how did the both of you…" The middle-aged man's gaze landed on Wu Hui and Chen Feng's skin. "Although your clothes are black and white, your skin is still the same!"

Mhm?

Chen Feng and Wu Hui's hearts leaped. They studied the middle-aged man and noticed that what he'd said was true. This middle-aged man was now black and white! As for the both of them…

It was the figurine!

Instantly, Chen Feng guessed the truth.

They'd initially believed that the radiance would kill those it touched. Unexpectedly, it merely changed everyone's color. A mysterious yet bizarre ability.

As for Chen Feng and Wu Hui, the protection the figurine had allotted them instead brought them trouble now.

At least, in this black-and-white world, being the only person of color was an extremely scary proposition.

An ominous glint flickered in the middle-aged man's eyes. "You…"

Wu Hui's eyes gleamed coldly as well. "Don't court death."

The middle-aged man merely sneered. "Hehe. Do you think that I am afraid of you? We are both A class. I have been dominating wherever I go for so many years, why would I be afraid of a new A class like you? Since my nephew is not around and I am alone, let me teach you what a true A class looks like!"

Bang!

He moved.

Hum—

A boundless energy started gushing out.

It did not appear too obvious in this black-and-white world, however…

Bang!

The middle-aged man's body vanished and reappeared before turning into countless afterimages that charged toward Wu Hui. Wu Hui, who was in fact only D class, didn't even have the chance to react to all this.

Pu!

Instantly, Wu Hui was flung away.

Blood splattered around. The blood was actually red in color! In this black-and-white world, it appeared incredibly dazzling.

The most terrifying part of it was the fact that, when the blood landed on the ground, the black and white weeds on the ground recovered their original color.

Green! They recovered their color!

"Your strength…" The middle-aged man frowned for a bit before he understood what was going on. "So that's the case. Although you seemed to have reached A class previously, you probably used some methods to reach A class forcefully, right? Hehe, after unleashing those attacks earlier, how much of your strength do you have left?"

Wu Hui's expression changed. This guy had indeed guessed correctly. Cosmic Manifestation was not an omnipotent ability. Its feat of pushing the D-class him into A-class to kill countless people was already miraculous. Now, his strength was almost exhausted. Coupled with the formidable strength of this enemy, what could he do? He couldn't even react to the enemy on time.

A single A-class genetic warrior was almost unequaled here.

The middle-aged man eyed Chen Feng and Wu Hui greedily. "After killing you… I might be able to recover."

On the ground, the color reinstated by Wu Hui's blood was clear for him to see.

The color of Wu Hui and Chen Feng's skin was merely the color of regular skin. As such, they weren't particularly conspicuous in this black-and-white world. However, those weeds appeared incredibly bright in contrast to the black-and-white world.

"Bang!"

Once again, that middle-aged man raged.

"Kill!"

Light swirled around before condensing into an energy sword that he held in his hand.

Hum—

With a flash of black-and-white radiance, that formidable and imposing sword slashed toward Wu Hui.

Chen Feng's heart thumped. "Careful!"

Shua!

Light started swirling.

Instinctively, he unleashed his Myriad Illusionary Wind Blades.

Bang!

Countless Wind Blades surged forth.

At the instant these Wind Blades erupted, Chen Feng's widened his eyes abruptly. In front of him, the middle-aged man was stunned as well. He was staring blankly at Chen Feng's Wind Blades, staring at the blades as they collided with his attack.

Bang!

Bang!

An intense sound of explosion resounded at the collision. A terrifying shockwave engulfed the vicinity, and both Chen Feng and the middle-aged man took a step backward.

That's right, they both took a step backward. Chen Feng had actually blocked the middle-aged man's attack.

The middle-aged man stared at Chen Feng in shock. "You…"

"???"

Chen Feng was lost as well.

I blocked it? This…

Next, Chen Feng gulped before an overjoyed expression appeared on his face. He found that, when his Wind Blades had erupted earlier, something astonishing that everyone had neglected had happened.

For both him and Wu Hui, not only their body was with color. Their blood retained its color, and even their energy and attacks retained their color. Earlier, at the moment his multicolored Wind Blades had erupted, the colorful Wind Blades had erupted with an extremely terrifying power.

Chen Feng's initial strongest power would only enable him to challenge those at C class. Surprisingly, he had now successfully blocked the attack of an A-class expert.

Chen Feng was akin to a multicolored LCD screen, up against the middle-aged man that was akin to an old black and white TV. Regardless of how powerful that middle-aged man was, Chen Feng did not have the slightest trace of fear, because here at this place, color itself contained power!

Chapter 273: Do You Want to Leave?

Translator: Limostn Editor: Tennesh

This is…

Wu Hui was dumbfounded. The reason for that was the fact that what he was currently witnessing was completely a confrontation of two different styles.

Have you ever seen a battle between Madoka of Madoka Magica and Kurosaki Ichigo?

Have you ever seen a battle between Ultraman and the Pirate King?

Mhm…

What Wu Hui was witnessing was something similar.

In this bizarre world, Chen Feng seemed to possess an astonishing amount of power.

A cruel smile appeared on Chen Feng's face. "Then…"

Ka!

Ka!

Countless dazzling, surging energy appeared, and once again, Chen Feng assembled his Energy Equipment. However, different from his past Energy Equipments, his current Energy Equipment was extremely colorful and much more powerful.

Hence…

Shua!

A shiny Energy Equipment came into existence in this black-and-white world. The colors of the lighting on the Energy Equipment were constantly changing, as this Energy Equipment seemed to contain a countless amount of colors. Every single one of these colors represented a mysterious yet formidable power. This was the power of color!

"Hmph."

The middle-aged man snorted.

He refused to believe that an A class like him would not be able to defeat a D class like Chen Feng.

"Bang!"

He punched out, unleashing a powerful secret art of his.

Chen Feng had no fear. "Come!"

Shua!

He streaked forth with his shiny Energy Equipment.

Bang!

Their fists collided.

Pu!

One silhouette was flung backward.

Once Wu Hui get a clear look, he was immediately stunned. The person flung out was actually the A-class warrior. As for Chen Feng, he had suffered zero injuries.

This…

Wu Hui blanked.

That was an A class, a class that was traditionally the peak of existence.

Chen Feng sneered. "Is A class really so powerful?"

Bang!

Another punch was launched.

This great A-class warrior here was used to scrape the floor by Chen Feng.

Bang!

Bang!

Punch after punch rained down on him. Instantly, the middle-aged man was covered in bruises.

The Energy Equipment of myriad colors had erupted with an alarming power. In this black-and-white world, color itself was the strongest of powers.

"Chen Feng, don't push it!" the middle-aged man bellowed.

Bang!

As a response, Chen Feng gave him another punch, blasting him to the ground.

Pu!

Suddenly, a black mist flickered into existence.

However, when Chen Feng studied it, he discovered that it was not a black mist. Instead, that was a mist of blood splattered out of the middle-aged man's body. Since there was no color in this world, the blood was black.

Shua!

The middle-aged man disappeared amidst the black mist. He was, after all, an A-class warrior. The amount of escaping methods he had at his disposal were higher than they could imagine.

"You are lucky to be fast at escaping," Chen Feng said indifferently.

Wu Hui cautiously asked, "…Wasn't that… somewhat too cruel to him?"

That was, after all, an A-class warrior. If one beat him up too much in here, things would probably be bad when they finally left this world.

"If so, we just have to ensure that he won't get any chances to leave this place," Chen Feng replied with a calm expression.

What joke was that?

If this unexpected thing hadn't happened, the both of them would have probably been killed by that middle-aged man. He was planning to use their blood to restore his color.

In such a circumstance, it was either life or death.

Wu Hui was quite good in all aspects, but his heart was too soft.

Chen Feng looked at Wu Hui as he thought this.

Mhm… seems like he needs further guidance.

As of now, they had both understood their true strength in this world. Not only Chen Feng, even Wu Hui became incomparably powerful here after he recovered his strength. Granted, the amount of color he could summon wasn't comparable to Chen Feng, but he was still extremely powerful here.

In this world, they both were truly powerful.

Chen Feng was extremely spirited. "Very good. Now, it's time for us to take at good look at what kind of place this is, exactly."

Not long after, the entirety of the Qinghe Grassland was explored by them. Their initial conclusion was that everyone that had been covered by that wave of radiance earlier had been sent into this world. The only difference between those people and them was the color on their body that had changed into black and white for some unknown reason.

The vegetation here had also changed.

This place appeared more like an independent space from the outside world. To be precise, this was a space reconstructed with Qinghe Grassland as the foundation.

"I have heard of such methods before," Wu Hui said.

The so-called space reconstruction was a situation that would arise when the space available was too huge or when the person himself did not possess space-construction-related abilities. As such, an actual space in the real world would be used as an anchor to construct an independent space.

For example, this Qinghe Grassland they were currently in.

Under normal circumstances, those who did this would be using some rooms or some tunnels as the blueprint for space reconstruction. This was the first time they had ever seen a huge place like the Qinghe Grassland being used as the blueprint.

This was too terrifying!

What kind of person was it that was capable of constructing something so big? If it was a space reconstruction, it was a space constructed with a real world as the blueprint, but it was still an astonishing feat.

Was it an A class? Or stronger? What was the reason for the construction of this space? The answers for these questions were unknown.

However, based on Chen Feng's deduction, it was very possible that they had both accidentally gotten themselves involved in the progress of some expert's project. In this project, people like them were normally categorized as cannon fodder. Presently, only the first step of the project had unfolded.

For the next step, something major might happen.

"I must figure it out as soon as possible." Chen Feng was anxious. Regardless of how powerful color was in this world, he still had to figure out what was going to happen here, or they would most probably end up dying here.

The project of a super expert like this would be extremely terrifying. Chen Feng had no plans of having a taste of that.

Chen Feng inhaled deeply. "Is this the Mysterious Organization again?"

As far as he recalled, that was the only organization with all sorts of such bizarre projects. Each of those projects was capable of threatening the whole world, an extremely terrifying collection of projects.

Wu Hui was at a loss. "How should we proceed in our investigations?"

Chen Feng pointed at the center of the grassland. "That palace."

That would be the focus for them to solve this problem. In this huge Qinghe Grassland, that was the only place where people indigenous of this world existed. That was also the only place that contained those bizarre patrols and the mysterious power.

Wu Hui was somewhat anxious. "We might not be able to defeat them."

Chen Feng was originally at D class. After being boosted by his colorful Energy Equipment, he had temporarily reached peak A class in this world. Wu Hui was originally at D class. After boosting himself with the power of color, he reached B class. However, the boost he received was unstable, so his true power was still unknown.

As for their enemies, even those patrols were at peak B class. What about the residents inside the palace? Neither of them knew the answer.

From the energy dispersed around the palace alone, it was apparent how terrifying a place that was. If Wu Hui were to enter, he would most probably be cannon fodder there. However, if Chen Feng were to enter alone, it would be extremely dangerous as well.

"Who says there are only two of us?" Chen Feng said calmly.

Wu Hui raised his head with a blank look. "Ah?"

A smile appeared on Chen Feng's face. "There are others that are even more anxious to leave this place than us." Earlier, when that guy had fled them, Chen Feng had planted something on his body. This wasn't a particularly difficult feat for Chen Feng with his Myriad Illusions ability. Normally, this was something Chen Feng wouldn't have had the guts to do, but in this world…

Hehe.

Tracing his marker planted on the guy, Chen Feng was able to find him shortly. There, a group of black people were crowded together, currently in discussion about something.

Chen Feng greeted them with a bright smile on his face. "Hello, everyone."

"Chen Feng?!" The middle-aged man was furious. "Don't push it!"

Shua!

Shua!

One cold gaze after another locked onto Chen Feng.

"Do you want to leave this place?" Chen Feng asked calmly.

Instantly, the middle-aged man calmed down. "Do you have any ways to do that?"

A profound smile appeared on Chen Feng's face. "If we don't try, we will never know."

Chapter 274: What Does Color Signify?

Translator: Limostn Editor: Tennesh

A huge palace was currently at the place where the boulder formation had originally been. Chen Feng and a group of people were currently in the vicinity, discussing their tactics for entering the palace.

Based on their guesses, the clue to how they could leave this place might very well lie in this palace.

"We can quietly get rid of the patrols out there," the middle-aged man proposed.

He was an A-class genetic warrior. As for these patrols, they were mere B-class warriors. Regardless of their amount, they were not his opponent. As long as the others could exercise control and prevent the shockwave from the battle from leaking beyond their immediate vicinity, he would be able to do it.

"It will be too much of a waste of your energy if you move alone. Perhaps we can all do it together," someone said.

"I think we should simply ignore the patrols and sneak into the palace," someone suggested.

They were all discussing the various possibilities.

Chen Feng's gaze landed on the patrols. What joke was that? If he only needed to sneak in or assassinate those patrols, what was the point of him seeking their help?

Shua!

Chen Feng's eyes gleamed coldly.

Hum—

Instantly, his Energy Equipment was assembled.

The middle-aged man's expression changed greatly. "What are you doing?"

Is this guy going crazy?

Chen Feng sneered. "What else can I do?"

Bang!

With a single punch, a terrifying power erupted.

Pu!

A group of B-class patrols were instantly killed.

This was Chen Feng's current strength. In this bizarre yet unique space, Chen Feng's combat power had reached peak A class.

"You are going crazy!" The middle-aged man howled, "This way, you will alarm the others."

"I'm aware of that." Chen Feng smiled calmly before continuing, "This palace is only this big. How many people do we have? What's the point of sneaking or assassinating? Would you believe me if I told you that, regardless of how many people you sneak past, as long as a battle erupts inside the palace, these people will still all reach us quickly? Next, we will be surrounded. What's the point then? Hence, the easiest method of dealing with this is to simply break in through force, killing everyone we see!"

Shua!

Shua!

Suddenly, the door of the palace opened. Numerous patrols rushed out of the palace, all of them B class. On top of that, two warriors who were wearing obviously better clothing walked out of the group of patrols, filled with killing intent.

His cold voice traveled forth. "Kill all intruders!"

Chen Feng smiled calmly. "See… they are here!"

"F*ck!"

The middle-aged man cursed. If he'd known that Chen Feng was so stupid, he wouldn't have chosen to work together. As for now…

"Kill!" he said with clenched teeth.

Bang!

Instantly, the battle erupted.

The intruders led by Chen Feng faced off against the patrols. Chen Feng and the middle-aged man were in charge of the A-class patrols while the rest of them were in charge of cleaning up the other B-class patrols.

Shortly after, the battle ended. The area in front of the palace was now a bloody mess.

The two strongest A-class patrols had been killed by Chen Feng and the middle-aged man. As for those B-class patrols, a huge amount of them had been killed. Even half the group brought over by the middle-aged man had perished.

Chen Feng led everyone as they entered the hall. "Let's go."

"Ah… enemy attack!"

"They are already in here!"

"God, this is so scary…"

Countless horrified voices resounded. The servants of the palace were all horrified and were fleeing around in disarray.

This place…

This so-called palace might appear glorious. However, at a size of around several hundred square meters, its interior wasn't really huge. It was around the same size as the exhibition hall at Gold City.

Alarming them was the fact that a girl was imprisoned in here. At the middle of the palace hall, countless shackles with black-and-white radiance swirling around them had a girl locked tightly to the point where she couldn't even budge.

This was a young lady of around 16 or 17 years of age. She had an extremely beautiful appearance. Chen Feng had never seen his young lady before. However, this young lady was giving him an incomparably familiar feeling, seemingly someone he had seen somewhere. Her eyes were deep blue, the blue of the deep ocean.

Wait, blue?!

Chen Feng was alarmed. There was actually color in this girl's eyes?

"Be careful," Chen Feng reminded.

Unfortunately…

Clang!

Clang!

The young lady started rocking the shackles in her hands and blue radiance starting to envelope her. Instantly, everything around her stopped moving while the blue radiance blossomed without stop.

The genetic warriors that were walking toward that young lady all stopped moving as well.

One second, two seconds, three seconds!

Bang!

All the shackles crumbled apart.

Instantly, the blue radiance started spreading out.

Pu!

All the genetic warriors within ten meters around her were dead. Out of the initially huge group of genetic warriors the middle-aged man had led here, only five were left now.

A smile appeared on the young lady's face. "I have been waiting for you guys for a very long time."

Chen Feng: ???

The young lady started humming playfully. "You people from the Genetic Union are still as tyrannical as ever."

Genetic Union??? What the heck is she talking about?

Chen Feng: ???

However, as he turned around and exchanged glances with the middle-aged man, he instantly realized something.

This was a trap!

Someone had used the entirety of the Qinghe Grassland as a blueprint to construct an independent space for this trap. As such, this was most definitely not a trap for them. Rather, this had been used to trap this young lady?!

Based on this young lady's words, she was waiting for those from the Genetic Union? Hence… this was a confrontation between the Genetic Union and some mysterious faction! Chen Feng's group had merely accidentally gotten themselves mixed up in this disaster. And now this young lady was under the impression that they were the people from the Genetic Union.

Abruptly, Chen Feng had an ominous feeling. "Damn it!"

How powerful would those daring to contend against the Genetic Union be?

Chen Feng was horrified. "Retreat!"

The middle-aged man had decided to retreat speedily with his remaining subordinates as well.

However, it was too late.

Hum—

A blue radiance started spreading. Instantly, everything around them seemed to slow down.

This feeling… the binding of space?

Even the middle-aged man with A-class combat power failed to escape this. The blue radiance spread and enveloped Chen Feng. Right at this instant, a small flickering light appeared on his body before blocking off all the blue radiance on him.

Chen Feng rubbed the figurine he had. "You again…"

This figurine had saved him too many times.

"Go!" Chen Feng started escaping with Wu Hui. This place was too dangerous. It was better for them to first retreat from here.

Unfortunately…

Bang!

At that instant, the space up in the sky was ripped apart.

Numerous genetic warriors with terrifying strength started descending from the sky. On each of them was a uniform Chen Feng was extremely familiar with. Those were the uniform of the Genetic Union. The people from the union had arrived.

Regardless of what place this was, regardless of what faction it was, as long as the experts of the Union were here, the conclusion for this was already set in stone.

For them to actually gather here…

Chen Feng was overjoyed. He was saved! The newcomers were a countless amount of peak B-class warriors and A-class warriors. This was the power of the union.

A group of powerful warriors appeared and locked onto the young lady with their cold gazes. Toward the end, their gaze landed on Chen Feng's group as well.

Chen Feng hastily made his identity known. "We are on the same side!"

Hum—

The leading genetic warrior scanned Chen Feng's body.

Di. Di.

"Scan error. Unknown identity," the ice-cold voice of the system prompted.

That person sneered. "You dare pretend to be a member of the union?"

??

Chen Feng's heart leaped.

Pretend? How is that possible, this identity token…

Instinctively, Chen Feng aimed his wristband at them. His wristband was actually able to easily hack into their wristband and perform scanning on them. Next, with horror, Chen Feng discovered that the time indicated by the system in their wristband was 100 years in the past.

This was simply a different era!

How could this…

Chen Feng's heart leaped furiously.

Boulder formation… time… palace… blue…

At this instant, everything seemed to come together.

Chen Feng finally realized that this was actually the Qinghe Grassland from 100 years in the past!!! There simply was no independent space or any of that. The location was still the same Qinghe Grassland. The only thing that had changed was time!

These colors represented time! Anything black and white was from the era 100 years ago, while the other colors represented time itself. Due to some unique reason, Chen Feng had not been transformed into a person of that era. As such, even when his body was dragged into that era, he still possessed the power of color, since here, color represented the power of time.

As for the power released by the young lady's blue radiance that stopped everyone's movement, it was not the power of space. Rather, that was a power capable of slowing or stopping time. She possessed the power of time! That was her ability!

As for the Genetic Union, their target was this young lady. Finally, Chen Feng understood what had happened. So this was an incident where a young lady with the power of time was being hunted by the Genetic Union? If this was truly what had happened back then…

Who was the one who was replaying this scene from 100 years ago? Who had turned the present Qinghe Grassland into this? What was the reason?

Just as Chen Feng was in the midst of astonishment, suddenly, a familiar shout could be heard far away.

"Aooooouuu—"

Chapter 275: Brother, We Are on the Same Side!

Translator: Limostn Editor: Tennesh

"Ao—"

A long howl could be heard. Distantly, countless gigantic beasts from the grassland charged forth. The earth trembled and the howls of the beasts thundered. Instantly, the palace was surrounded by countless gigantic beasts.

Those were all beasts Chen Feng had never seen before. They were gigantic beasts that only existed a hundred years ago.

Chen Feng was alarmed. "Here it comes!"

The one leading the group of gigantic beasts was that talking grassland wolf they'd encountered earlier. Different from the other mutated beasts, this particular grassland beast had color on its body as well, despite its color being only blue.

On its body was a familiar nameplate. If it wasn't for the fact that Chen Feng was extremely familiar with that nameplate, he would have most probably missed it.

"It was that beast indeed." Chen Feng sunk into a solemn mood. It was actually the grassland wolf leader with terrifying strength.

The huge grassland wolf leader knelt down in front of the palace. "Young mistress!"

The young lady coldly asked, "Who are you?"

"I traveled through time to reach here." A smile seemed to appear on that wolf's face as it continued, "Here to rescue your esteemed self."

The young lady was slightly agitated. "Time…"

Someone from the future to save me?

"How long in the future are you from?"

"A hundred years."

"A hundred years…" The young lady closed her eyes and continued, "So a hundred years has passed?"

"Yes, you went missing," the grassland wolf answered respectfully.

The young lady nodded slightly as her cold gaze swept through the people from the Genetic Union before sweeping through the grassland wolf's army and ultimately landing on Chen Feng's group. "Missing…"

There were three factions at play here now. Although Chen Feng's group appeared weak, in fact, their fighting strength was extremely astonishing. None would dare to underestimate them.

Shua!

At this instant, almost everyone's gazes landed on Chen Feng's group. This was an extremely dangerous place. Everyone here had only come for their mission. If so, why had this group appeared here?

"State your identity!" the people of the Genetic Union shouted.

Chen Feng sighed. "We are truly from the same side…"

Seems like the identity token from 100 years in the future can't be used here. Oh, right, the technology of their wristbands seems somewhat outdated. If I hack it for a bit…

"Can you guys try checking my identification token once again?" He looked at the people from the union. Just as they were about to recheck, one of their checkers opened his mouth and said, "Captain, the data was altered a short while ago."

Chen Feng: "…"

What the f*ck! Your certification technology is outdated yet your firewall is so advanced??

Shua!

Immediately, the people from the Genetic Union glared at Chen Feng with unfriendly expressions.

Chen Feng shrugged."We are truly from the same side." Unfortunately, nobody believed his words.

Finally, that middle-aged man start talking. "We are merely passersby. We are only here for some mission. Accidentally, we got caught up into this affair of yours. We are truly ordinary passersby."

"From a hundred years in the future?" the grassland wolf interjected.

The middle-aged man hesitated before answering, "Yes."

"Kill!"

Suddenly, the killing intent of those from the Genetic Union surged.

A hundred years in the future! These people were all here from the future for some mysterious yet evil intentions!

No one could guarantee that their appearance wouldn't affect this world in any way. The theories of time manipulation were a top secret even in the Genetic Union itself. These people all had to die!

His cold gaze swept through the grassland wolf and the rest of the people there before ultimately deciding to kill.

The young lady glanced at Chen Feng. "These people…"

"They must die." The grassland wolf lowered its voice. "If they were truly accidentally dragged here by us, they must die. We have performed extremely delicate calculations on the timeline. Hence, not a single speck of variable must be allowed to exist. The path back to the future was only prepared for you alone. From the moment these people appeared here, they were fated to die. Moreover… it is simply too common for a third party to benefit from the disputes of others."

The grassland wolf was evidently filled with vigilance.

They could not guarantee that this wasn't some ploy of the Genetic Union's. If they decided to rescue Chen Feng's group yet Chen Feng's group decided to backstab them, it would be too dangerous.

Regardless of them or the Genetic Union, they could not permit a third party to exist here.

In this mission, even for them, only a single survivor was permitted.

"Kill!"

The ice-cold killing intent bloomed.

The people of the Genetic Union took the initiative and charged toward Chen Feng's group.

"Hey, hey, hey, we are truly on the same side!" Chen Feng revealed his certification details. "This is truly how it will look like 100 years in the future!"

"Hmph!"

The people from the Genetic Union merely snorted as a response.

Regardless of whether this was the truth or not, this guy had to die!

"So you really don't believe me?" Chen Feng was feeling helpless.

Chen Feng inhaled deeply. "Don't force me…"

At that, the expressions of those from the Genetic Union became even more serious. From the Energy Equipment on Chen Feng, it was apparent that Chen Feng's combat power was quite formidable.

Shua!

Shua!

Several experts of the Genetic Union surrounded Chen Feng.

The battle was going to start at any moment. The young lady and the grassland wolf were surrounded by the people from the Genetic Union as well. At the same time, they were also wondering if this youngster here would be able to escape. If both this youngster's group and the Genetic Union ended up hurting each other, things would be perfect.

"Mhm…" Chen Feng sighed. "I already told you we are from the same side. You guys are the ones who decided not to believe me."

Suddenly, he dragged Wu Hui with him and retreated toward the young lady's direction.

"You are courting death!"

The grassland wolf leader's eyes gleamed ominously.

"Bro, we are on the same side!" Chen Feng shouted before taking out a nameplate he had kept on him for a very long time. A faint word could be seen on it: Duma!

Young lady: ???

Genetic Union: ???

Grassland wolf leader: ???

The previous instant, this guy here had still been claiming to be from the Genetic Union's side. The next instant, he took out a nameplate and claimed to be on the same side as the grassland wolf?

Are you f*cking kidding?

"This thing…" Finally, the grassland wolf realized where that familiar feeling it had felt earlier came from. He stared at Chen Feng. "Why do you have this thing?"

"My master gave it to me. An old freak that had been alive for god knows how long. Hmph hmph," Chen Feng said casually. "He told me to come here to the Qinghe Grassland to try my luck and see if there were any fortuitous encounters, telling me that I would be able to get a deeper understanding of the power of time or something like that… because I am also a possessor of the power of time!"

Shua!

With a wave of his hand, a blue radiance appeared, shining around him.

The whole space-time of the black-and-white world seemed to be effected by this. Every single movement of Chen Feng's was putting great pressure on this world.

This was exactly the power of time!

The grassland wolf leader appeared gratified. "Very good."

So this guy is from our side? No wonder he is such a treacherous person!

"I initially planned to sneak myself into the Genetic Union." Chen Feng put on a regretful expression. "Unexpectedly, those bastards gave me certification details from the future, which had instead conflicted with the certification details of this time…"

Veins surfaced on the people of the Genetic Union.

They had almost fallen for that! If this guy's certification details had been correct…

Would they have been able to see through something prepared in advance by those from a hundred years in the future? Such an enemy was truly a danger at the highest level!

The people of the Genetic Union appeared unprecedentedly solemn. "Prepare for battle!"

For the Genetic Union! For the world!

"Battle!"

After a roar, all of them from the Genetic Union erupted with their full power.

The grassland wolf leader glanced at Chen Feng. "You guys will be in charge of protecting young mistress here."

Chen Feng nodded slightly. "All right."

A vicious expression appeared on the grassland wolf leader's face. "Then…"

"Howl—"

With a loud roar, charge! All the mysterious and powerful gigantic beasts charged forth.

The battle erupted instantly.

Chen Feng, on the other hand, dragged Wu Hui and followed closely beside the young lady. Rather than protecting her, they were being protected instead. However, just as Chen Feng was busy gathering information from his surroundings and thinking of ways to solve his current predicament, a peculiar fragrance assailed his nostrils and a gust of warmth appeared by his ear as an intoxicating voice entered his earlobe.

"This young brother here… who are you exactly?"

Chapter 276: The Lost upon Return!

Translator: Limostn Editor: Tennesh

Chen Feng coughed and continued, "Don't stand so near me."

"Teehee, are you getting shy?" The young lady had a faint smile, but a crafty expression appeared in her eyes. "On your body is an extremely familiar smell, causing me to be unable to resist getting intimate with you."

"That's my body odor," Chen Feng said earnestly.

Young lady: "…"

Wu Hui: "…"

Where's your face?

Bang!

Bang!

The battle in front of the palace was progressing.

Some of their opponents tried to approach them. However, they were directly beaten back by Chen Feng. What joke. Since they refused to acknowledge Chen Feng's identity, he wouldn't be bothered with their identities as members of the Genetic Union.

"You are very strong," the young lady exclaimed in admiration.

If only personal combat power was measured, Chen Feng would be the strongest here, possessing a combat power at peak A class.

Chen Feng merely smiled as a reply. "Hehe."

Another Genetic Union expert approached them. "Come and die for me!"

Chen Feng's eyes gleamed coldly. "Scram!"

Hum—

Blood splattered around. That genetic warrior was directly killed by Chen Feng.

Instantly, the atmosphere of the area became somewhat stifling.

Those genetic warriors glared at Chen Feng ferociously and finally decided to not charge in his direction. Instead, they focused on the grassland wolf's direction and those gigantic beasts.

The young lady's eyes shone. "Wow!"

So strong!

In her memories, such powerful genetic warriors would normally be those 50- or 60-year-old people old enough to be her grandfather. Even a genius would normally be around 40 years old when they reached this level of strength. As for Chen Feng… he appeared to be only 18 years old! Only around three years older than her!

At that instant, some sort of romance seemed to sprout in the young lady's heart. Which girl wouldn't wish that during their moment of crisis an unrivaled hero would descend like a deity from the heavens to rescue her? This unrivaled hero was currently Chen Feng.

There were countless casualties on the battlefield, yet Chen Feng remained standing in front of her peacefully, none daring to approach them. By his lonesome self, he was equivalent to a whole army!

After a long time, the battle ended. The original plan of the Genetic Union's had been to take this young lady away. Getting involved in a bitter battle had never been part of their plan. However, due to the existence of Chen Feng here, they'd had no choice but to first get rid of those gigantic beasts.

After countless casualties, after suffering a disastrous loss, they'd finally gotten rid of those gigantic beasts. Nevertheless, their remaining combat power was already at their lowest point as well.

The grassland wolf sneered. "Are you planning to continue fighting?"

"So what if we continue fighting?" Suddenly, a person appeared midair. This person was a reinforcement from the Genetic Union. It was only a single person, who appeared to be around 25 or 26 years old. As for his combat power… it was peak A class!

A super expert had appeared!

"Do you think that only your side has reinforcements?" the grassland wolf said in disdain.

Based on its understanding toward the events that had happened during this time period, it was precisely now that…

"Let's battle then!" With a flash of green, another genius that was equally young appeared.

A green speck of light was flickering on his forehead, giving him an extremely imposing appearance as he bathed in green radiance that was akin to some sort of extremely terrifying incorporeal barrier.

He's finally here! The grassland wolf's heart leaped. Senior Lu! Young mistress's future husband!

He descended from the sky and blocked in front of all of them. Quietly, he turned around and looked at the young lady before saying calmly, "With me here, no one can hurt you."

Young lady: "…"

Shua!

He turned around, and the battle with the genius from the Genetic Union began. Rays of light started swirling around them without stop.

However, the young lady merely stared at him like she was staring at an idiot.

Wait, things seems to be progressing somewhat…

The grassland wolf's expression changed. Based on the timeline's description he had received, this was how the plot should have developed: The young lady met with a crisis and fell into an impasse. Next, Senior Lu appeared and rescued the young lady, capturing the beauty's heart in the process. However, the young lady had also sustained heavy injuries due to the sneak attack on her. Hence, she was subsequently ill for many years, resulting in her power of time slackening before she would ultimately disappear.

The very reason this wolf had appeared here back in time was to prevent the sneak attack from ever happening to the young lady. That was the only reason it was here! Everything else was something it shouldn't get involved in.

Based on its master's command, apart from protecting the young lady, it should not interfere in the timeline. Hence, it had merely summoned the gigantic beasts to resist the Genetic Union instead of affecting any other events in this timeline.

It hadn't even allowed Chen Feng, the one who possessed the special nameplate, to join the battle. The only thing it had had Chen Feng do was protect the young lady, that was all.

However… something had unexpectedly happened! Chen Feng had altered history?

No, no, no. He had not even need to do anything. He had only needed to stand there, and behold, an 18-year-old with peak A-class combat power, a person with a handsome appearance and a carefree personality, and who was also intelligent and quick witted. Wasn't all this sufficient for him to alter this course of history? Compared to him, that Senior Lu at around 25 or 26 years old was simply a non-factor attractiveness-wise.

This did not apply to Senior Lu alone. In fact, both the "exceptional geniuses" that were currently battling it out had been rendered as nonfactors attractiveness-wise due to Chen Feng's appearance here. Moreover, after figuring out Chen Feng's real combat power, as long as Chen Feng remained standing by her side, the young lady would not feel any sense of crisis.

Hence, a scene where a hero appeared and rescued the beauty would most probably not appear anymore.

Bang!

Bang!

Bang!

The battle was still progressing.

Those two "exceptional geniuses" were battling it out on the battlefield, yet the young lady was only staring at Chen Feng with an inquisitive and worshipping gaze. The only thing missing was her asking this young brother here if he wanted to get some from her.

Grassland wolf: "…"

What the f*ck, what should I do about this? The grassland wolf's head ached. "Let me think about it."

Once again, it recalled the overall plan. Mhm, after countless years of bitter cultivation, its master had finally grasped the power of time. After the young mistress disappeared, he'd started putting even more effort into his research, which culminated in their current plan of going back in time. All this was in order to allow the young mistress to once again return to reality.

And now… everything was indeed progressing as planned. However, the person playing the role of the hero who had rescued the beauty had somehow changed.

Oh… this shouldn't have too big an effect on the timeline, right?

The grassland wolf contemplated seriously. Senior Lu was also a top-notch existence back in the future. With his strength and talent, it would be too easy for him to regain the heart of this young lady.

Mhm… that's for sure! The grassland wolf checked the time. Almost there!

Based on their plan, it should now prepare for the return into the future. Thirty seconds, 20 seconds, 10 seconds…

The grassland wolf's heart leaped. "Here it comes!"

Bang!

Space shattered into pieces as countless experts of the Genetic Union appeared out of the crack in the air. Finally, the main squad of the Genetic Union had arrived.

"Aowuuuu—" the wolf howled. Instantly, countless blue radiances condensed together. In the air, a terrifying beam of light appeared and pierced through heaven and Earth.

"Go!" Senior Lu shouted. "I will stop them here!"

"All right."

Light started swirling around the grassland wolf.

Hum—

A terrifying blue radiance bloomed.

Time started moving.

"Do you need my help?" Chen Feng asked calmly.

"No." The grassland wolf shook its head. "Since you are from the future, try to avoid doing anything. You only need to focus on protecting the young mistress."

Chen Feng calmly replied, "All right. No harm shall befall her before first getting rid of me."

His thought process was quite simple. Presently, he was only thinking of pretending to be one of them. As such, he only needed to try his best to perfect his cover and avoid being seen through. Unexpectedly, though, after this seemingly casual sentence of his, the eyes of the young lady started twinkling.

Grassland wolf: "…"

Bro, can you not play the part of an idol 1 at times like this? If this continues, Senior Lu will truly be green 2 …

"Xiao Fei! See you in a hundred years!" Senior Lu howled.

Currently, he was blocking the whole Genetic Union all by himself, with a majesty akin to someone who was blocking off an army of 10,000 men by his lonesome. Unfortunately for him, nobody seemed to be appreciating his current splendor.

Shua!

Light swirled around and the scene around them started changing.

Time was reinstating itself.

Could a life form from a hundred years in the past be truly brought forward to the future? Chen Feng had no idea. He had an indescribable sense of reverence toward the power of time. In fact, this was simply a power mankind had no hope of controlling. That was time itself!

Behind him was the young lady. Her eyes were shut and her tiny hands were grabbing onto the corner of Chen Feng's shirt.

Shua!

Shua!

Light swirled around.

Gradually, their surroundings recovered their color.

After a long time, a blue undulation started spreading around them, and everything returned to how it was. The Qinghe Grassland also recovered its green. They had finally returned to the future!

Their emotions surged. "We are back!"

"Wow. This is the future?" The young lady was pleasantly surprised. However, right at this instant, a flicker appeared in the air. A terrifying killing intent instantly enveloped the whole area as a voice resounded, "I have been waiting a long time for you guys."

Bang!

Instantly, a terrifying power descended.

The whole world was enveloped by darkness as the terrifying power reached them instantly.

Ka!

Ka!

The team brought here by the middle-aged man, the group that had been following behind Chen Feng, was instantly killed by the terrifying power that descended.

Pu!

The middle-aged man started spurting blood as well. Right after he'd returned to the future, before he could even react to anything, his chest was pierced through by a beam of light. A magnificent A-class genetic warrior like him was actually killed instantly.

Chen Feng was deeply alarmed. "How is that possible?"

A class! That was an A class! Even an A class couldn't block this attack?

Currently, that terrifying attack neared Chen Feng.

Chen Feng's heart chilled. "I'm finished."

Defend!

Pu!

Chen Feng's chest was pierced through by that terrifying beam of light in a split second. His heart was disintegrated as a stifling feeling emerged within. Chen Feng's sight blurred before he started collapsing.

Raising his head, he could vaguely see a green radiance that was gradually condensing in the air before a silhouette walked out of the green. On that person's forehead was a green gem that was gleaming resplendently.

It's him!

Chen Feng was horrified as he suddenly recalled what Gou Li had told him back then.

"Remember! If you see someone with an odd stone on his forehead, regardless of the time or venue, flee, flee as far as you can!"

Soul… So… he is Soul!!! That youngster from a hundred years ago was also him! Lu Hun? 3

Unfortunately, he'd realized this too late.

Bang!

Blood splattered out of his chest as his body collapsed loudly on the ground. Dead.

Chapter 277: Golden Silhouette!

Translator: Limostn Editor: Tennesh

At Star City, Hou Liang was playing chess with Old Zhu.

"I heard that kid Chen Feng went over to Genetic Union for some mission again?" Old Zhu curled his lips. "Are you truly not worried?"

"What should I be worried of?" Hou Liang laughed. "As a producer with off-the-charts combat power, our methods are inherently unsuitable for him. Rather, it is my hope that all producers will have such combat power."

"Genetic Union…" Old Zhu shook his head. "The missions there are much harder than our missions."

Hou Liang grudgingly said, "If he was going to die, he would have died a long time ago. If anyone is dying, I will probably die first."

Pa!

"Eat!"

Using a chess piece that looked like a lion, Hou Liang ate Old Zhu's chess piece that looked like a tiger. Just as he was about to start bragging, abruptly, a familiar power could be felt.

That is…

Immediately, he turned around and stared in a certain direction.

Old Zhu was startled as well. "That power…"

At this instant, countless experts in Star City looked in the same direction. Countless consciousnesses started scanning over there. Every producer in Star City was extremely clear on what this power signified.

Something had happened there!

At Qinghe Grassland, when that terrifying green radiance had descended, even the grassland wolf and that young lady were alarmed. None of them had expected they would encounter such a crisis the moment they returned to the future.

"Senior Lu!" Grassland wolf cried out in alarm. "He is from our side!"

"How ridiculous." Lu Hun's forehead gleamed with green, and his eyes were chilly. "A hundred years ago, I was unaware of who he was. But now, how would it be possible for me to not be aware of who he is? Champion of the Gene Rookie Competition, a genius belonging to both the Genetic Union and Gene Production Association. Hehe, with such an identity, he is thinking of lying to me? How ridiculous!"

"I won't allow you to kill him." The young lady clenched her teeth as light started swirling in both her hands. "Time: rewind!"

A faint power of time surged out of her hands. She wanted to rewind time several seconds into the past, believing that Chen Feng would be saved if she did that. However, how would Lu Hun permit that?

"Sigh." With a sigh, a gust of power erased the young lady's power with ease.

"You!" The young lady glared at Lu Hun ferociously.

"I won't blame you, since the current you does not have any memory of that phase of our lives." Lu Hun's gaze landed on the young lady. His gaze was filled with gentleness, but it was quickly replaced with killing intent. "However, anyone who dares to lay their hands on you will die! Especially him!" He pointed at Chen Feng. "You want to rescue him? If so, I will dismember his body into ten thousand pieces and extinguish his soul so that you can totally give up on this thought of yours," Lu Hun said coldly.

Shua!

Once again, a green radiance shot out of his hand toward Chen Feng.

"You!" The young lady looked toward the grassland wolf. "I command you to stop him!"

"Senior Lu…" The grassland wolf could only step forth with a bitter smile on its face. It had no way of disobeying the young mistress's command!

Lu Hun's eyes gleamed coldly.

Bang!

The grassland wolf was directly blasted away.

After returning to the future, how would Chen Feng, who only possessed the combat power of a peak B class, be Lu Hun's opponent? Lu Hun was someone who was at the very least at the peak of A class. It was also quite probable that he had even surpassed A class!

The young lady clenched her teeth. "I won't permit you to do that."

She was clear that, if Chen Feng's body was destroyed by the power the time, there would truly no longer be any methods to save him.

Instinctively, she felt the urge to protect Chen Feng.

However, Lu Hun merely uttered a single word: "Lock!"

Hum—

A terrifying and formidable power appeared and locked down all her power. Her power of time and even her body were locked down on the spot, to the point where she couldn't even budge.

Lu Hun's gaze landed on Chen Feng. "Let's get this over with."

Chen Feng was a variable that had appeared in this plan of his. Despite the appearance of this unexpected variable, however, as long as Chen Feng was eliminated and Xiao Fei recovered her memories, everything would return to how it was.

Shua!

Light swirled around. The terrifying power gushing out of Lu Hun's hand slashed toward Chen Feng.

Bang!

A seemingly endless power bloomed.

Damn it!

Wu Hui was biting his lips to the point he'd started bleeding. In his heart, Chen Feng was an existence akin to his master. Chen Feng was the one who had opened up his path, the one who had assisted him in his rise, turning him into a true expert. However… he couldn't help Chen Feng at all! This was also the first time he'd realized how terrifying this guy with a diamond on his forehead was.

The so-called C class, B class, A class, all these were merely some empty words as far as Lu Hun was concerned. He could easily crush all these people. Starting from the squad led by the A-class warrior earlier until Chen Feng, this guy was almost unrivaled when dealing with them.

As for Wu Hui, he could only watch on as Chen Feng died. Earlier, when that power had penetrated Chen Feng, he'd witnessed with his own eyes as Chen Feng's aura diminished, feeling that grief deep in his heart…

And now, this guy was even planning on destroying Chen Feng's corpse? Wu Hui felt an endless sense of humiliation.

He started shouting, "Ah ah ah ah ah!!"

Bang!

A terrifying power bubbled up around him. He charged forward and blocked in front of Chen Feng's corpse.

Wu Hui's gaze was resolute. "I do not fear you! I am Wu Hui. I possess the power of an A class! I won't be afraid of you!"

"Ah." Lu Hun merely laughed at that.

Pu!

Light swirled as Wu Hui was instantly blasted away.

"You…" Wu Hui started spurting blood without stop.

Attack? Nope, Lu Hun hadn't even bothered with him. The disparity between their strengths was simply too great, to the point that Wu Hui was simply nonexistent as far as Lu Hun was concerned. As such, Lu Hun did not care about what level of strength Wu Hui possessed.

Earlier, Wu Hui had merely been hit by the energy leaking out of Lu Hun's attack that was heading toward Chen Feng. That was already sufficient to blast him away.

So… I'm still so weak?

Shua!

That resplendent green radiance reached Chen Feng's corpse, and once again, that terrifying green explosion appeared. Next, dust and smoke covered everything there.

It's over.

Wu Hui shut his eyes with grief. He had failed to even protect Chen Feng's corpse.

The same grief was plastered on the young lady's face. After Chen Feng's corpse was bombarded by the power of time, regardless of how miraculous her power was, she would not be able to save him. This time, Chen Feng was truly dead.

"Then, it's your turn." Just as he stepped forth and was about to kill Wu Hui, suddenly, an astonishing power erupted behind him.

Bang!

He turned around hastily and stared in the direction that power was coming from. That was where Chen Feng's corpse was!

Bang!

The green radiance pervading the whole grassland instantly cleared. The smoke and dust covering the air instantly disintegrated, clearing the visibility there. Chen Feng's corpse could be seen hovering in the air.

Bang!

The air cracked as a golden silhouette descended from the sky and, slowly, it reached Chen Feng and started combining with his body before transforming into a heart.

Thump!

Thump!

The golden heart was shining dazzlingly.

Everyone else couldn't resist sheltering their eyes from that dazzling radiance. Vaguely, they could see that the endlessly surging golden radiance was condensing within Chen Feng's body. A trace of warmth started appearing within that seemingly dead body.

Suddenly, that golden heart started burning.

Bang!

It followed with a resplendent golden explosion.

Abruptly, a pair of energy-formed golden wings spread out behind Chen Feng. The terrifying power accompanying the spread of the wings ripped the space around him apart and blasted Lu Hun and everyone else away.

"How is that possible…" Lu Hun had an inconceivable feeling. What on earth is that?!

He was thoroughly alarmed due to the extremely peculiar power he was sensing currently.

"What…" Lu Hun glared at Chen Feng, "What on earth are you?"

Chen Feng had resurrected.

Without any rewinding of time, without any heaven-defying genetic ability, just like that, he had resurrected. Using such an inconceivable method, he renewed Lu Hun's worldview.

That was especially true for that burning golden heart of his.

Thump!

Thump!

With every pulse of the heart, Chen Feng's strength increased greatly.

Once!

Twice!

The golden radiance shone dazzlingly.

The current Chen Feng was bathed in gold with a pair of dazzling golden wings behind him, akin to a deity that had descended upon the earth. As his heart thumped, his consciousness started recovering, and that familiar conversation he'd once had seemed to resurface in his brain.

"It is something only a person who has greatly contributed to the Gene Production Association is entitled to possess."

"It is a power condensed by a super expert. If you were to meet with any danger, the clone of that expert will descend upon you temporarily. It will be equivalent to a second life for you."

"This Absolute Guard… it is capable of dealing with any sort of enemy for you."

"Naturally, if it's possible, I hope that the day where you need to use it never comes."

Ah. So… this is Absolute Guard?

Bang!

The terrifying golden radiance faded. Chen Feng's consciousness finally recovered completely as his tightly shut pair of eyes reopened.

Shua!

The golden radiance shone dazzlingly.

Chapter 278: What Should I Be Afraid Of?

Translator: Limostn Editor: Tennesh

In Star City, countless people's gazes were focused in the direction of Qinghe Grassland's.

Earlier, they had all felt the astonishing power belonging to an Absolute Guard from that direction. This was something only the few rare talented individuals who had contributed greatly to the association possessed.

However…

Hou Liang was shocked. "Why is it his power?"

The power of an Absolute Guard was not fixed. It was indeed an extremely powerful item. However, it was ultimately still dependent on the super expert that produced it. Hou Liang had never expected that the Absolute Guard of Chen Feng's had been produced using the power of that person.

Old Zhu sighed. "Perhaps… this is what fate intends?"

Hou Liang shook his head. "Perhaps."

He knew that the moment the golden clone descended, the conclusion for that crisis Chen Feng was currently facing would be set in stone.

At the Qinghe Grassland, Lu Hun's eyes gleamed coldly. An astonishing amount of green radiance was being emitted from the diamond on his forehead.

"I loathe this power…" He had a gloomy gaze. This golden radiance was giving him an extremely uncomfortable feeling. He concentrated his cold gaze on Chen Feng. "And you… still need to die!"

The killing intent in his eyes intensified.

So what if Chen Feng had resurrected? So what if his strength increased? A mere clone like that, even after Chen Feng fused with the clone, in Lu Hun's eyes, Chen Feng was still an existence akin to a bug.

Lu Hun clenched his fists. If it was my main body that had come in person…

That's right, the present Lu Hun was a clone as well! Otherwise, with the strength he possessed as a super expert, he would have ended this battle long ago.

Shua!

A resplendent green radiance surged out of his hands. Lu Hun's killing intent bloomed. He could clearly feel that, at most, the power from that golden clone would be on par with his. As of now, Chen Feng had yet to fully fuse with it. Hence, if he were to make his move now, he would definitely be able to kill Chen Feng.

Chen Feng smiled coldly. "You truly believe that?"

The arrival of the golden clone was somewhat unexpected for him. At his moment of crisis earlier, the only thing he had been able to do was activate his Luck Aura before placing all his hope on the Absolute Guard.

He had never imagined that the Absolute Guard would be so powerful.

Dong!

Dong!

The throbbing golden heart was still burning as it overlapped with Chen Feng's heart before releasing an unimaginably formidable power.

This was a power capable of surpassing everything. That instant when he'd merged with the golden clone earlier, he'd felt a familiar power and discovered that the Lu Hun before him was similarly an energy clone as well. Despite Lu Hun being a clone, though, he was still incomparably powerful.

Indeed, he was powerful enough to insta-kill an A-class warrior. Ultimately, though, this was only a clone.

If this was his main body, Chen Feng would not hesitate. He would definitely turn around and flee immediately. Now, though, since they were both clones now that Chen Feng had fused with the golden clone, there was really nothing for him to be afraid of.

This was especially true in their current situation, where what he faced was a clone formed of energy.

A smile appeared on Chen Feng's face. "Ah."

Shua!

He took a step forth. The pair of golden wings were emitting a huge amount of golden radiance, painting the whole sky gold. He reached out and grabbed the empty air. Next, a shining red sword appeared from the air. That was a sword that Xiao Ying had transformed into!

Shua!

With a golden flicker, Chen Feng flashed forth and collided with Lu Hun.

Bang!

A terrifying shockwave was created by their collision. The green radiance in Lu Hun's hand was sliced off by the red sword. After slicing off the green radiance, the sword continued slashing forth, leaving a terrifying line of blood on Lu Hun's body.

Pu!

Blood splattered, and countless energy particles dissipated.

Lu Hun's pupils shrunk. "This…"

Once again, he was shocked.

He was extremely certain that even that golden clone would not possess such a terrifying item! This was actually a sword capable of devouring energy and ignoring all defenses.

He stared at Chen Feng with a shocked expression. "What on earth… are you?"

This was already the second time he had been surprised by this bug-like genetic warrior. Due to the blood that was gushing out of this energy-formed clone of his, he was starting to lose his strength. The power of this clone was weakening.

"Me?" Chen Feng smiled calmly before replying, "I am your killer."

Shua!

Light swirled.

Slash!

Chen Feng streaked forth, leaving countless afterimages behind. Under the support of the golden wings, Chen Feng was currently as fast as lightning, capable of completely suppressing Lu Hun.

This…

The grassland wolf was stunned.

Wu Hui was stunned.

The young lady was stunned.

Who would have imagined that the present Chen Feng was so terrifying?

This was not 100 years in the past. Here, there was no such thing as the power of color. This was also not the young Lu Hun of 100 years ago. Instead, this was a true genuine super expert here!

This, this, this…

Pu!

Light swirled around, and blood splattered around in the air.

Bang!

Bang!

A great damage would be inflicted after every single collision. Under the assistance of the golden wings, Chen Feng was astonishingly fast. In this battle between two clones, it was obvious that the clone that had fused with Chen Feng held the advantage.

One could also say that Chen Feng, as the owner of Xiao Ying, was simply much more powerful in this battle between energy clones.

Pu!

After another flash of gold, Lu Hun's silhouette, which had been flickering everywhere, stopped moving.

This clone of his was already leaking energy from the earlier attack. This single instant where he was unable to dodge in time was siezed by Chen Feng, whose attack landed immediately. With an ice cold flash of gold, Lu Hun's body was slashed in two.

A golden line appeared on his forehead and spread downward in a straight trajectory.

Hum—

The gold shone brightly.

Instantly, Lu Hun's body collapsed.

Surprisingly, the body that was split in two rejoined together shortly after. However, the gleam on his forehead had obviously dimmed compared to earlier.

"Chen Feng…" Lu Hun stared at the youngster in front of him. He had been defeated. Completely defeated in a manner he had never seen coming. His plan had obviously been progressing smoothly. Xiao Fei had obviously been brought here to the future safely as well. Why would this have been the final result, then? Furthermore, it was truly unfortunate that his main body was temporarily incapable of leaving where it was.

"Are you aware of what you are doing?" Lu Hun howled.

"Chen Feng… when my main body returns…"

Chen Feng snorted. "Hmph."

Hum—

While Lu Hun was talking, the golden radiance on Chen Feng's body intensified. The red sword that Xiao Ying had transformed into started burning as the golden radiance swirled around its body.

Bang!

At this instant, all the unleashed energy condensed.

Slash!

With a resplendent radiance, Lu Hun was blasted away midsentence. Before he could stand back up, a terrifying sharp radiance pierced through his chest.

Pu!

The sound of his chest being penetrated could be clearly heard.

Lu Hun widened his eyes and stared at the red sword that had him stabbed on the ground with an unbelieving expression, unable to believe that he had actually gotten himself nailed onto this Qinghe Grassland.

"You…" His eyes gleamed coldly. "You have no idea what have you done…"

"Oh, I am very aware of what I am doing," Chen Feng replied calmly.

Shua!

Light swirled around as he pulled the red sword out.

Bang!

The green radiance shattered.

Lu Hun, dead!

"Are you insane?" The grassland wolf had a horrified expression on its face. "Why did you kill him? Oh god, the moment his clone is killed, his main body will receive the feedback. That madman will definitely…"

Chen Feng glanced at him coldly. "Shall I keep his clone around to celebrate the new year, then?"

"Damn it!" The grassland wolf was so nervous its lips felt dry. It was the only one here aware of Lu Hun's horror. His nickname as the Soul Emissary was not for show.

"Leave, fast!" Instinctively, it wanted to take the young lady away. However, at that moment, a green radiance appeared in the sky. In the sky, a huge pair of eyes suddenly appeared. The ice-cold gaze of that pair of eyes landed on them, akin to the eyes of the heavens!

He was here! After the death of its clone, its main body was about to come!

However…

Chen Feng checked his luck value. The expected rapid drop of luck value did not appear. In other words, he was not in any danger presently. Why was that? Could it be…

"You can't come in person." Suddenly, Chen Feng realized something. "For something so important, you would have definitely come with your main body if you could truly come. The fact that only a clone was sent here signifies that your main body simply has no way of leaving where you are presently. With this…" Chen Feng looked at that huge pair of eyes in the sky and continued, "Who are you trying to scare?"

Lu Hun: "…"

Lunatic! Lunatic!

The grassland wolf felt its scalp go numb.

That was the main body of Lu Hun, yet Chen Feng actually dared to provoke him!

Lu Hun's indifferent voice travelled toward them from the sky. "Indeed, I have no way of leaving presently. However, do you believe that I am helpless just because I can't leave?"

At that, Chen Feng increased his vigilance. "Oh?"

Soul… control…

Suddenly, he recalled the experiences of Gou Li.

Shua!

Xiao Ying started flickering with a red glow. Chen Feng was certain that, the moment this person attempted to invade his consciousness, he would be able to beat this person up so badly even Lu Hun's mother wouldn't recognize him.

However.

"Aowuuu—"

A howl could be heard.

The initially bright red pair of eyes of the grassland wolf turned green. Lu Hun had actually gained control over the grassland wolf.

Chen Feng had an ominous feeling. Not good.

Slash!

A resplendent radiance started shining.

Without hesitation, Chen Feng unleashed his strongest attack. However, outside of his expectations, the grassland wolf was actually charging toward that young lady. It was planning to forcefully kidnap the young lady!

This Lu Hun…

Chen Feng's eyes gleamed coldly. "Do you think I will let you off so easily?"

Soul Emissary? Since you can't even leave where you are, what am I afraid of?

Shua!

His golden wings started flickering, and once again, he erupted with his limit-surpassing speed. Once again, the sword in his hand started radiating gold. This time, he aimed his slash directly toward that pair of eyes in the sky.

Bang!

A terrifying golden explosion appeared in the air.

Chapter 279: The Biggest Harvest

Translator: Limostn Editor: Tennesh

Bang!

A terrifying golden radiance exploded midair. The green gaze that was focused on the grassland wolf paused momentarily at this.

"Ao—"

The wolf regained its consciousness.

The grassland wolf started hurling curses at Lu Hun. "Screw you, Lu Hun!" It stopped its charge forward and changed its direction. However, it hadn't stopped moving. Instead, it was still leaving speedily with the young lady.

"Young Mistress… I will take you home!"

Whoosh!

Whoosh!

Light swirled around and the grassland wolf disappeared rapidly.

Lu Hun's expression changed greatly. Damn it.

Back then, Xiao Fei had only decided to marry him to thank him for saving her life. Unfortunately, although the current her had indeed traveled here from 100 years in the past, her nature, characteristics, and emotions weren't in a particularly stable state. It would be quite a while before his main body could leave where he was presently at as well. If during this period of time she was to….

Lu Hun was furious. "You dare?"

Shua!

That huge pair of eyes gleamed green as he attempted to once again gain control over the grassland wolf. However, with a red flash, his attack that was made up of energy was instantly cut off.

"Chen Feng!" Lu Hun was bursting with rage.

A smile appeared on Chen Feng's face. "Bye."

Xiu!

The glow of the sword in his hand intensified.

Xiu!

Xiu!

Xiu!

Next, Xiao Ying transformed back into its real body. A boundless red radiance emerged and started shining dazzlingly in the air. Lu Hun's pair of eyes in the sky that were formed of energy were instantly devoured cleanly by Xiao Ying.

The sky regained its past sunny appearance. Vaguely, Lu Hun's furious thundering shouts could be heard.

Chen Feng curled his lips. "The f*ck you shouting for."

What was so scary about a guy who couldn't even leave where he was? As for what was going to happen when he was finally able to leave… Mhm, when that time came, Chen Feng could always have the Genetic Union and Gene Production Association deal with him.

At most, he would have to be more attentive to his luck value in the future.

Chen Feng was extremely calm and collected.

Hum—

All the radiance interweaving around him vanished. Chen Feng could feel that terrifying power of the golden clone within him disappearing. At that moment, his body had a hollow feeling.

This is the power of Absolute Guard?

Chen Feng was shocked.

No wonder so many people were envious of him when he'd obtained it back then. So this so-called Absolute Guard was so powerful?

His strength disappeared, and once again, he dropped back to D class.

"It's about time I return…" Chen Feng muttered.

Next, he lifted the unconscious Wu Hui and shook his head helplessly. He had initially come here as a boss. Ultimately, though, he'd ended up as a dad… His current feeling was truly unexplainable.

He lowered his head. The Wu Hui in his embrace was still unconscious, sleeping like a child.

But in fact, he was indeed still a child.

"Master… no…" Wu Hui mumbled in his sleep.

Chen Feng's face darkened. Was Wu Hui referring to Chen Feng as his master?

Forget it, I can accept it even if he's calling me Master, but what on earth is with the "Master, no" coming out of his mouth? Godd*mnit, outsiders might misunderstand, thinking I have done something forbidden to you.

Chen Feng shook his head helplessly. "Truly…"

Time to return.

Shua!

Light swirled around as Chen Feng sped away carrying Wu Hui.

A rough description of what had happened had already been transmitted over to Hou Liang. It was better for him to leave the follow-up of this incident to the Gene Production Association and Genetic Union.

Somewhere high above the sky, in a dusky region surrounded by clouds and mist, was a flickering green radiance.

Currently, an incomparably vicious expression was on Lu Hun's face, the Lu Hun who had always appeared calm and collected. He had never imagined that this plan of his would actually conclude in such a manner.

Xiao Fei had indeed returned. However, it was in such circumstances that she had returned. His initially perfect plan had altered due to the appearance of a single Chen Feng!

Killing intent surged in Lu Hun's eyes. "Chen Feng…"

This guy must die!

He couldn't permit anyone else to get intimate with Xiao Fei, even if the present Xiao Fei merely had a favorable opinion toward Chen Feng. That was his wife! The color of his energy might be green, but that did not signify that his hat was green 1 as well!

Shua!

Light swirled around as his gloomy voice condensed into a ray of energy and pierced through space.

"Keep an eye on him. Wait for my return. It won't be long…"

Not long after Chen Feng and the rest left the Qinghe Grassland, the people dispatched here by the authorities after Chen Feng's report arrived. They started gathering the data and energy around this area for the preparation of a detailed report.

The appearance of the power of time was sufficient to cause a huge uproar.

Time was a power a normal person would not be able to control. As for that grassland wolf, that mysterious young lady Xiao Fei, and that Lu Hun, all these people seemed to possess a certain mastery or knowledge over the power of time. That was an extremely terrifying prospect.

What alarmed everyone was the fact that all these people seemed to know each other! Even if there appeared to be some conflict among them presently, this was still an alarming fact. In other words, there existed such a circle that none knew about, a circle of people that possessed a power capable of surpassing everything, the power to control time itself.

Kidnapping someone from 100 years in the past? That was simply too terrifying an idea. Moreover, from what they had seen, the arrival of the young lady from the past did not seem like it had affected the world 100 years ago at all. Was there any power that was affecting all this?

Who was it that was plotting this? This was what the Genetic Union wanted to find out.

Only after Chen Feng returned to Star City did he breathe out in relief.

He was also a member of the Genetic Union. However, every single time, he would subconsciously head back to Star City. Without him realizing, this place had become a true home to him, despite his conflict with all the other producers during the previous excellence award incident.

Right as he arrived, that familiar heated atmosphere could be felt.

"Bastard Chen Feng, return to me my contribution points!"

"Protesting against loot boxes, I request transparency in the drop rates of the loot boxes!"

"Protesting against Chen Feng, follow my lead!"

…

Chen Feng lamented endlessly. How much I have missed all this…

The excellence award event was still in progress. Chen Feng shook his head before sending Wu Hui to the infirmary. After receiving the news of Chen Feng's return, Hou Liang rushed over immediately.

Hou Liang gasped. "Damn, you can do it with someone this young?"

Shua!

Chen Feng glared at him.

This guy here was truly old, yet he did not act his age.

"Cough, cough." Hou Liang coughed before continuing, "I have received the rough description of what happened. However, I'm afraid you will need to report it one more time in more detail."

Chen Feng appeared confused. "I have to report this even though this was not a mission for the Gene Production Association?"

Hou Liang appeared excited. "Of course! This is what I fought for! For such an incident, if you make an official report on it, you will be able to earn a huge amount of contribution points. Don't you want the reward?"

At that, Chen Feng was enticed.

The rewards of the Gene Production Association had never disappointed him.

Soon, under Hou Liang's arrangements, Chen Feng filed a top secret report. His report contained the information on the mysterious young lady and Lu Hun.

As for Gou Li, after hesitating, Chen Feng had decided to not tell them about him.

It was improper for him to be the one to say it. If the Genetic Union decided to not accept their explanation and instead decided to expose their hiding place, it would result in a big mess.

Soon, the Qinghe Grassland incident calmed down. The battle over the excellence award was reaching the end as well. After checking the rankings, Chen Feng found that his current points were already far above Lan Jingling's. Hence, he did not need to worry about it at all.

If so, it was time for him to focus on his breakthrough.

He couldn't wait to break through. Due to the time travel and all sorts of other unexpected incidents that had happened, he'd simply had no chance to consume the mysterious gene reagent Wu Yaotian had produced before the gene reagent had lost all the energy stored within.

Fortunately, after spending some time with it and with the help of his Luck Aura, Chen Feng managed to deduce the formula required to produce this gene reagent. This was the true gain he had from this whole mission: the formula for a gene reagent capable of breaking through the D-class limit!

With the formula in his possession, he would be able to produce it for himself. Not only him, even Wu Hui would be able to enter C class with it as well. He believed that, when this gene reagent was finally produced, it would cause a huge uproar.

It would even reach the point where the overall strength of mankind in this world was pushed one step forward. This was something that would, in the truest sense, alter the world.

Chapter 280: New Formula!

Translator: Limostn Editor: Tennesh

At Star City, Chen Feng was researching the new formula. He already had the rough draft for the formula, but there were still a lot of problems with it that he had yet to solve. For example, the problem where this gene reagent could only be produced in a unique environment.

A gene reagent with a 100% probability of breakthrough was in itself something that was not supposed to exist in this world. This brand-new gene reagent was something only able to be produced in an environment where time was slowed down.

But now, the boulder formation no longer existed. Young lady Xiao Fei had returned back to her home as well. As for Chen Feng himself, he did not have any methods of controlling time.

Chen Feng's head ached. "This is going to be troublesome."

Just like that, his research on this new formula became stuck. Chen Feng tried countless times to solve the problem, but he gained nothing from further research. He simply couldn't find any substitute for the boulder formation.

Chen Feng muttered, "Time..."

Based on Wu Hui's introduction, this formula had been created by his father several years ago. However, Wu Yaotian had been stuck at one particular step for a very long time and had ultimately chosen the method of slowing down time to complete this formula.

"Wait." Suddenly, Chen Feng realized something. Why was he stubbornly getting stuck on this problem of time? The only thing he'd seen was the solution Wu Yaotian had devised to solve the specific problem that he had been stuck on. If so, what exactly was the initial problem Wu Yaotian had encountered?

Chen Feng contemplated. "The reason Wu Yaotian slowed down time was to solve a certain crucial problem. Hence, there is simply no need for me to stubbornly try solving this issue of time. If I can find his research documents and discover the initial problem he encountered, that will be sufficient."

Shua!

He started searching for the research documents of Wu Yaotian.

Shortly after, he found the problem that had stumped Wu Yaotian back then.

--

Problem code: XT-126

Problem description: At the 32nd step of production, a total of 76 materials need to perfectly react with each other. When under catalyst, the particles making up all the materials become extremely lively and tremble without stop, causing the reaction and fusion process to fail. Under normal circumstances, this is a production that can never be completed.

Experiment 1: Using temperature-reduction methods to reduce the speed at which the particles trembled… failed.

Experiment 2: Using space-binding methods to reduce the speed at which the particles trembled…failed.

Experiment 3: ….

…

Experiment 74: …

…

Experiment 208: …

…

Experiment 300: …

--

A total of 300 experiments had been conducted, and all of them had failed. Every single one of them had failed. Wu Yaotian had been extremely serious in every single one of these experiments. He had been a top-notch producer in the truest sense.

He had attempted almost every means possible to him. Finally, he had been forced to alter the formula and had chosen to use a unique method to produce this gene reagent. His chosen method had been time control, in spite of the high price he had to pay.

As a result of using such a production method, the completed gene reagent became something extremely unstable. As such, the production had only been able to be completed at that unique environment where time was slowed down. Moreover, even after successfully producing it, one had to consume it under such unique environment for the gene reagent to work. Otherwise, once the produced gene reagent left the unique environment, it would spoil.

In a sense, this wasn't too perfect a formula.

To be accurate, this was a formula that had been altered as a compromise for the problem that Wu Yaotian hadn't been able to solve otherwise. Fortunately, he had been successful in his production. After several years of meticulous study, combined with his own understanding of genetic abilities, he had ultimately created this miraculous feat.

Chen Feng finished studying the data seriously. After finishing, he was somewhat excited. "So that's what happened."

So the core problem is still the gene reaction process.

Under the catalyst effect, the particles of the materials would start trembling rapidly. As such, a unique environment where time was slowed was required to slow down all the rapidly moving particles. Only with this could the particles be controlled properly, allowing the reaction process to complete successfully. This was indeed quite a hard issue to solve. However, as far as Chen Feng was concerned, this did not even constitute a problem!

Gene reaction? Particles? Moving too rapidly?

Chen Feng became excited. "Let me give it a try."

He directly gave up on Wu Yaotian's final formula and instead chose to use the initial formula that Wu Yaotian had given up on back then, as Wu Yaotian had believed it to be a formula that could never be produced successfully.

That discarded formula with 76 types of different materials.

Chen Feng's emotions surged. "Come!"

Regardless of what problem it was, as long as it was something that could be affected by probability, it would cease to be a problem for him.

Shua!

Luck Aura, activated.

Hum—

To solve the problem regarding the gene reaction and the duration of the reaction process, 10 luck value was deducted. Next, the gene reaction process began.

After a long time, the violent-looking gene reagent started condensing midair before ultimately turning into a drop of ice-blue liquid.

"This is…"

Chen Feng was in ecstasy.

Success! Finally, I'm successful!

Hum—

Gene scan!

--

Name: Unknown (New Formula)

Difficulty: 5 stars

Class: D

Function: Forcefully increasing the user's spiritual energy by 1 point. Also applicable when breaking through one's limit (the effect will be weakened when used by those above C class).

--

A new formula was thus birthed.

That was not all. As this gene reagent of Chen Feng's had been successfully produced in a normal environment, this gene reagent would remain stable in normal environments.

He observed it for a whole five minutes and noted that nothing happened to the gene reagent. This gene reagent produced by Chen Feng was much more powerful than what Wu Yaotian had completed.

Chen Feng had initially intended to enter his hyper-dimensional mode to reconstruct and further perfect the formula. However, the feedback he'd received from his Luck Aura was thus: 10,000 luck value required. This had shocked him immensely.

That was simply too terrifying a number, and not something he would be able to attempt presently.

Chen Feng contemplated. "Seems like I can give it a try in the future, when I come across more Spirit Sea wood."

For performing such a feat where a huge amount of luck value would be required, it would only be something worth performing when he was in a situation where there was a huge amount of luck value overflowing out of him, like when he had absorbed the Spirit Sea wood previously. He was unsure if such a thing would ever happen to him again, though.

As for now…

Chen Feng inhaled deeply. "Time to break through!"

Gulp.

The gene reagent was consumed. Noiselessly, that ice-blue drop of liquid started fusing with Chen Feng's body.

Bang!

A terrifying power erupted from within his body. His spiritual energy that had previously been stuck at the limit of D class increased by one point, piercing through the limit, bringing him into C class. Instantly, his spiritual energy transformed. This was a qualitative change of his spiritual energy after entering a new class. He had entered C class smoothly.

Chen Feng was shocked. "I have truly broken through with it."

As one's strength increased, there would be a point where it was simply impossible for gene reagents to help with breakthroughs. After all, every single breakthrough was in essence an act of violence. Even for those who had broken through using gene reagents, what they had done was essentially still using the gene reagent to create a huge impact to break through their limit, bringing them into the new class.

To perform this feat, a power that was tenfold or even a hundredfold one's own power would be required.

Hence… it was a feat nearly impossible for gene reagents.

Back then, Chen Feng had only been able to create a miracle while in F class by creating the golden ant gene reagent, as that gene reagent itself was a unique existence.

For higher levels, this was simply an impossible feat.

E class, D class, all the breakthroughs for higher classes required a much higher amount of power, a power that was perhaps a hundredfold or even much higher than the power of the golden ant gene reagent. As such, this was something impossible for an ordinary person to accomplish.

Along with one's increase in strength, gradually, the difficulty would increase while the usage of gene reagents became impossible.

But now, without any limit-surpassing training sessions, without any life and death crisis, a single drop of ice-blue liquid had helped him break through his limit. This was a miracle, a miracle created by Wu Yaotian.

Shua!

Once again, Chen Feng tried urging his spiritual energy on. He could easily feel that his perception was now even sharper than before, and his spiritual energy was much more powerful. This was the qualitative change of his spiritual energy after the breakthrough.

Only one point had increased, but it was much more powerful now. This was what C class represented.

"Very good." Chen Feng clenched his fists tightly. The apocalypse-like "Star City Battle" was approaching. Only by increasing his strength without stop could he protect himself. As such, he would not give up on any single resource he could get.

Producer excellence award!

Mission rewards!

Everything he could obtain, he would.

Now, with the appearance of this new formula, it would be able to push Chen Feng to a new height, giving him more resources, fame, and strength!

"It's time for my next step, then," Chen Feng muttered.

Now that he had broken through, he should focus on gene fusion.

Only after fusing with a fusion gene reagent and obtaining his fourth genetic ability would he become a true C class.

Chen Feng sank into contemplation. "Which gene should I fuse with?"

First ability: Wind Blade.

Wind Blade would be able to erupt in power at any time with the help of his luck value.

Second ability: Myriad Illusions.

An ability whose strength was demonstrated when used together with luck value and Wind Blades.

Third ability: Energy Equipment.

The core determiner of his Energy Equipment's strength was the amount and attribute of his Wind Blades. The unlimited Wind Blades he unleashed would provide him with an energy supply far exceeding what a person at his class normally possessed.

All these were the basis for Chen Feng's ability to challenge those of a higher class than him.

Every single one of his abilities had only been selected after careful consideration, in order to increase his strength.

If so, his fourth ability…

"Clang!"

Suddenly, the door to his laboratory opened.

Wu Hui charged into the laboratory while gasping for breath and said, "N-not good."

Chapter 281: To Reduce or Not to Reduce

Translator: Limostn Editor: Tennesh

Chen Feng sunk into a solemn mood."What happened?" Could it be that the Star City Battle had been brought forward?

Wu Hui was anxious. "They… they are cancelling your qualifications to compete in the excellence award."

"Producer excellence award?" Chen Feng regained his calm and proceeded to pour a cup of tea for Wu Hui. "Don't be in a rush. Calm down and talk slowly. You can be considered as someone who has been in a major situation before. Why the heck are you being all anxious over this small incident?"

Wu Hui felt ashamed. "All right." After regaining his calm, he continued talking. "Senior Hou Liang told me to inform you that headquarters has received a huge amount of complaints."

"What's the point of those?" Chen Feng was curious. What a joke. If complaining was truly effective, that company called Tencent in his previous life on earth would have been shut down long ago. Chen Feng was a member of the Genetic Union and also a genius that had made outstanding contributions to them. Who dared to seek trouble with him? A normal producer wouldn't be able to touch him! Someone capable of making Hou Liang say these words…

"Did something else happen?" Chen Feng asked knowingly.

"Mhm." Wu Hui whispered, "Based on the latest news, there was one particular producer who committed suicide after failing to obtain what he wanted from the loot box."

????

Chen Feng was stupefied.

Suicide? Was this a joke? Even in his previous life, such thing had never happened! These people were all genetic warriors cum producers; why were them so emotionally weak?

"Furthermore," Wu Hui continued with a blank expression, "a lot of producers started using some special methods to obtain contribution points. When they were caught, they said the reason they had done so was in order to obtain contribution points to buy those loot boxes. On top of that, there's a particular 16-year-old female producer that went through a transaction to perform a deed that should not be mentioned just to get contribution points to purchase a loot box with." Wu Hui finished with a flushed face.

???

Chen Feng blanked.

What was going on? In this era, as a genetic warrior, shouldn't these people be quite formidable when it came to mental strength? Even in his previous life, things hadn't been so severe when loot boxes had been introduced. How had this happened in this world…

Wu Hui finished saying what Hou Liang told him to say seriously, "Senior Hou Liang said that the repercussions are extremely severe. Hence… things might change."

"Change…" Suddenly, Chen Feng came to a realization. He was sure that there had to be someone pulling the strings here. Was it Lan Jingling, the second place holder? Or…

Chen Feng checked the rankings and found with astonishment that, after a while of not paying attention to it, the second place holder had already changed. The producer called You Fang that had initially been at third place had overtaken her and grabbed the second place in a short few days.

Moreover, his points were also quite far above Lan Jingling's points.

Indeed… tsk. Can't these guys stop looking for trouble for once?

Chen Feng narrowed his eyes. "This guy…" After thinking about it, Chen Feng turned on his communication tool.

A big and simple-minded-looking head appeared on his screen. "Yo, Chen Feng."

"It has been a while Lan Xing," Chen Feng said with a smile. "How have you been recently?"

"Not bad, not bad," Lan Xing said while smiling. "Sister already gave up on fighting for first place. I can see that your popularity is truly high above hers. Haha. But then again, you need to be careful for now. I heard that they are planning to do something again."

"Oh?" Chen Feng was amazed. "You know of it?"

"Naturally." Lan Xing curled his lips. "That crafty old man called You Fang has been coming over to my sister's place so frequently. If it wasn't out of respect for his old age, I would have beaten him to death long ago."

Chen Feng: ….

"All right, got it."

By the time he ended the call, Chen Feng already had a guess as to what had happened.

Frequently…

It seemed like their agreement from before was going to be implemented now. In the beginning, Lan Jingling had obtained some research paper from You Fang in order to surpass Chen Feng. She had to have paid a huge price for that.

Now, when Lan Jingling had finally given up on the first place, You Fang was taking the opportunity to make his move.

Research paper! You Fang had also obtained some imperfect research paper of Lan Jingling's before combining the paper with his own paper to put out a brand new research paper for sale. Finally, he'd surpassed Lan Jingling's points.

As far as Lan Jingling was concerned, there wasn't really much difference between second or third place.

It was at this instant that You Fang had made his move.

When it came to contribution points, it was simply impossible for them to surpass Chen Feng. Chen Feng's current contribution points were more than tenfold higher than the contribution points of both of them combined. Hence, there was simply no suspense in the race.

This was the reason You Fang had decided to use such a sinister way to get Chen Feng out of the way, by creating trouble using various methods.

The RNG nature of the loot boxes was already something widely criticized. With the inclusion of You Fang causing trouble everywhere, countless people started to go with the flow. That's right, a vast majority of the protestors were merely going along with the flow in an attempt to secure some benefits for themselves. They believed that it might be probable for Chen Feng to reduce the price to please them after the ruckus. This was what a lot of people believed.

Subsequently… the whole incident had gone out of control. Finally, it had led to Hou Liang calling Wu Hui over in a rush to inform Chen Feng about this so that he could find a solution.

Chen Feng sneered. "They are thinking of making me submit to them?"

He was aware that there were quite a number of people waiting to see him make a spectacle out of himself.

Price reduction? Sure. At this point, reducing the price wouldn't have any effect on him anyway. His current contribution points were already unsurpassable. He only needed to cancel the loot box method of selling his research paper, changing it to a regular sales method.

Mhm… he shall be selling it at the original price of 588 contribution points. Everyone should be satisfied with that, then. Hence, as long as Chen Feng reduced the price, the whole incident would be solved perfectly.

However, was it truly so simple?

Chen Feng made up his mind. "I absolutely can't reduce the price."

Wu Hui was at loss. "Why?"

"Because that is what You Fang was aiming for," Chen Feng said calmly.

What a sinister trap. If he refused to reduce the price, he might be disqualified from participating in the excellence award evaluation due to all sorts of complaints and the negative effects brought forth by his loot boxes. However, if he reduced the price, he would be done for as well! Was price reduction something so simple to implement?

Chen Feng was sure that, the moment he reduced the price, a huge amount of people would start a ruckus as well. For example, those who had previously invested a huge amount of resources to buy his loot boxes. These people had wasted several tens of thousands of contribution points previously, and now, the others only needed several hundred points to buy the research paper?

Who wouldn't be furious at this? How many days had it been? Just looking at how far Chen Feng had surpassed Lan Jingling and You Fang by was sufficient to demonstrate the amount of contribution points the others had spent on his loot boxes. Wanting him to reduce the price now? Who were they trying to trick?

If Chen Feng truly reduced the price, that would be the end of him.

"What should we do then?" Wu Hui was horrified. This world of adults felt incomparably terrifying for him.

"That's simple." An ice-cold smile appeared on Chen Feng's face. "He wants to force my hand, right? Well, I will grant his wish, then…"

Currently, somewhere in Star City.

"I have now repaid what I owe you." Lan Jingling had handed over the incomplete research papers that she owed You Fang from when he'd given her his research paper back then. You Fang merely needed to slightly alter these research papers and they would all be ready for sale.

You Fang's face appeared to be glowing. "All right."

After Lan Jingling and Chen Feng had fought with each other, he merely needed to step in at the last minute to reap the rewards. How was it possible for him to not be overjoyed? With his new research papers, he would absolutely be victorious.

Lan Jingling shook her head as she advised, "Chen Feng… is not as simple as you think. I advise you to stick with competing fairly using regular methods."

You Fang merely laughed as a response. "Hehe."

He was already at this age. If he still refused to fight for it, he would probably be too old to fight over any rewards after a few years. Hence, this year's excellence award was something he had to obtain. Besides that, there was also that trap he had prepared for Chen Feng…

You Fang sneered. "Only after he has reduced the price will he be in the true trap prepared for him."

It was at this instant that Lan Xing charged into the room in a rush. "Sister, something happened!"

Lan Jingling frowned. "What happened?"

Lan Xing finished his words instantly, "Chen Feng… Chen Feng declared that his loot box will stop selling."

What?

The expressions of You Fang and Lan Jingling changed instantly.

Chapter 282: Newly Appointed Excellent Producer!

Translator: Limostn Editor: Tennesh

Stopped selling!

Chen Feng's research paper had stopped its sale!

Bang!

The whole world was shaken by this news.

Regardless of the amount of criticisms and complaints this research paper had received, all these only served to prove how popular this research paper of Chen Feng's was. This was a truly phenomenal research paper, something nothing could compare to.

However… stopped selling??? It had been directly stopped? This news was dropped like a bombshell on those who had yet to get what they wanted from the loot box.

Shua!

Countless people turned their screens on. At the page where Chen Feng's loot box had been sold previously, only these words were left: "Due to the series of negative incidents that happened recently, this research paper has received countless complaints by producers. After taking into consideration the negative effect this research paper has had on society, it is hereby announced that this research paper will stop selling."

???

Everyone was dumbstruck.

As for those who had joined in on the complaints previously, they were all bewildered.

God knew this would happen! Truly, they had only wanted Chen Feng to reduce the price. Even You Fang was stunned. Based on his plan, if Chen Feng had reduced his price, those who had bought a lot of his loot boxes would definitely start creating a ruckus. He had never expected that Chen Feng would directly stop selling.

This, this, this…

"Which idiot complained about this?"

"Yeah!"

"Come out here!"

"I only joined everyone yesterday, and up till now, I only had the chance to buy 10 loot boxes so far!"

"Same here, I have only gotten a single SSR-tier drop!"

Everyone started discussing without stop.

This was especially true for those who had spent a lot buying the loot boxes and were expecting their investment to be returned soon after obtaining what they wanted from the loot boxes. They were all incomparably furious. The spear that had initially been aimed at Chen Feng was now pointed toward those complainers.

Once again, Chen Feng became a trending topic, trending thorough the world.

Countless complaints were launched toward the headquarters of the Gene Production Association.

This time, it was a truly huge amount of complaints, much higher than the previous wave of complaints. As for the contents of these new complaints, they were all complaining about those who had complained against Chen Feng the previous time. Even the Gene Production Association could not escape the fate of being complained about.

Everyone was stunned. Those who had prepared to teach Chen Feng a lesson were collapsing emotionally.

He still had this trick up his sleeve?

At every single branch of the Gene Production Association were a huge amount of complainers. The public image of Chen Feng that had initially reached rock bottom had, at this moment, started making a comeback. Countless people were hoping for Chen Feng to start selling again.

"Please start selling again!"

"I won't mind even if the price is increased."

"Ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah, the only thing I want is a single SR-tier drop."

Countless producers started flaming online.

Not everyone would be aiming for SSR-tier drop or a complete collection of all drops. An absolute majority of them only required some SR-tier drops, which in all honesty weren't particularly hard to obtain.

Countless requests for the sale to be reinstated were sent to the headquarters.

Toward all this, the Association felt helpless as well. Just earlier, they had all been discussing ways to deal with Chen Feng and ways to withdraw his qualification to compete for the excellence award. Now, in the blink of eye, they had to instead beg Chen Feng to continue selling instead?

This…

At a certain location.

"Isn't this a good thing for you?" a person said to You Fang.

Chen Feng had stopped selling. Regardless of how huge an uproar it caused, this would settle down with time. This also signified that he would no longer be able to increase his contribution points.

This would be You Fang's opportunity. If he started selling his research papers crazily, he might be able to overtake Chen Feng.

Perhaps…

You Fang was tempted. However, just as he raised his head to look at the rankings, his heart chilled. The Chen Feng's current contribution points were tenfold his own. Even if Chen Feng stopped gaining contribution points, it would still be impossible for You Fang to overtake him.

You Fang felt bitter. "How did this happen…" Hence, the only way of for him to defeat Chen Feng was still to disqualify him?

But how was he supposed to accomplish that now? Chen Feng's identity was too unique. Previously, he had been planning to use public opinion to force Chen Feng a step back, but now, Chen Feng had unexpectedly stopped selling, and public opinion was now skewed in Chen Feng's favor.

Even if he wanted to disqualify Chen Feng, it was no longer possible.

You Fang's heart chilled. "It's over."

After scheming for so long, a simple stop of sale by Chen Feng had spoiled all his schemes. Chen Feng had not only gained the public praise, toward the end, he would ultimately still obtain the excellence award.

Someone beside him suddenly said, "There might still be some methods."

You Fang's eyes shone. "Oh?"

That person whispered, "There's an extremely simple method. It will depend on whether you, old man, are daring enough to do it."

"What method is it?"

"Conversion!"

"Conversion?" You Fang's heart thumped.

"That's right." That person beamed. "Contribution points are indeed something that can't be sold. However, the conversion between contribution points and cash is something that has always been happening at the black market… Mhm, if purchasing research papers were used as the cover, it would be even easier to do."

"Black market…" You Fang's heart trembled. That was a domain the Association was extremely prejudiced against. He was extremely aware of how scary this thing he was planning to do was. However, this was also the only method in which he could surpass Chen Feng's contribution points. Moreover, he was aware that a huge price would have to be paid to surpass Chen Feng. Perhaps his savings over several decades would all be exhausted for this.

If he was able to obtain the excellence award…

If he was able to become part of the management of the association…

If his words started carrying a certain weight to them…

At that time, if he were to start erasing any trace of what he had done secretly, no problem should arise. You Fang contemplated before finally deciding to do it.

"I don't know anyone from the black market," You Fang said.

"I know some, hehe… As long as I'm promised a commission of 10%, I will deal with everything for you." That person laughed happily. Next, the transaction started progressing secretly.

The next day, on the rankings, You Fang's contribution points started increasing rapidly.

His score that had initially been far below Chen Feng started pressing in. Moreover, under their intentional control, You Fang's score was pressing forth at a steady pace with no sudden burst in the speed it was increasing at. Evidently, these people were all professionals at this.

Currently, countless people were still creating a ruckus over Chen Feng's stop of sale. None of them had noticed You Fang's score that had increased.

One day…

Two days…

Just as they reached the last day of the excellence award evaluation period, the initially first place Chen Feng was overtaken. Once again, an uproar was created at Star City.

Chen Feng was in second place? You Fang was in first place? Everyone was shaken.

Only now did they realize that You Fang had quietly charged forth to grab first place without anyone noticing.

But his score…

"Aren't his contribution points somewhat high?"

"He has recently released several tens of research papers. Perhaps those were related to his gain in contribution points?"

Everyone started guessing.

You Fang obtaining first place was a major event. At the very least, it was major for the residents of Star City. It was said that, on that day itself, a countless amount of people went forth and started gifting You Fang with presents, wishing that he would take great care of them in the future, etc.

As for You Fang, he had an extremely rosy expression on his face. This was worth it! After today, he would be the recipient of the excellence award! All those people such as Lan Jingling… Chen Feng…

After competing against each other for so long, hadn't You Fang still become the one who reaped the profit in the end? As such, when doing something, it was important to use one's brain.

You Fang was feeling joyful and content.

However, at ten sharp that night, two hours before the end of the evaluation period, Chen Feng released a new announcement: Recently, a huge amount of complaints requesting for the sale to be reinstated have been received. Due to this, this research paper will temporarily start selling again. To thank everyone for their support all these while, a 24-hour limited promotion will begin.

Bang!

Right after this announcement, it caused a huge uproar.

It was reinstated! Everyone was going crazy. When You Fang received this news, his eyes darkened, and he almost fainted then and there.

It's over…

This was the only thought in his mind.

He had initially believed that Chen Feng had decided to stop his sale after the severe pressure he was receiving, but now that he looked at it, Chen Feng wasn't even the least bothered with the pressure previously exerted on him, still selling whenever he wished!

As for the contribution points… You Fang watched on with desperation as the contribution points he'd obtained using ten whole days were overtaken by Chen Feng in a mere ten minutes. They were simply players of two different leagues!

The supporters of Chen Feng's loot box that had been holding it in for so long were all going crazy. As they were afraid that Chen Feng would suddenly stop selling again, coupled with the fact that there was now a limited promotion going on, they started purchasing crazily. Everyone was going crazy.

At 12 sharp, the evaluation period ended. Everything on the rankings vanished, leaving a single name behind: Chen Feng!

The newly anointed excellent producer!

Chapter 283: Celestial Defense System

Translator: Limostn Editor: Tennesh

Excellent producer! This was an extremely unique identity. From now onward, Chen Feng would be shedding his identity as a commoner and would become part of the association's management.

Mhm… At the very least, he would have a vote and right to make his suggestions regarding various strategic decisions of the organization. This was the most important benefit of having this excellence award. Due to his young age, Chen Feng had also become the youngest excellent producer in history.

"Success."

Chen Feng inhaled deeply. Now he would at least have some sort of influence when it came to pushing the Association's agenda toward certain events, such as the upcoming Star City Battle!

That apocalypse-like scene had been replaying in Chen Feng's brain without stop. The scene where the whole Star City was destroyed had caused his heart to thump furiously countless times.

Chen Feng muttered, "Even if Senior Hou Liang has said that the association has already made some preparations, still…"

Those who had never witnessed what he had seen would never be able to imagine how severe the situation was. The only thing the association could do was increase their vigilance and prepare some defensive measures. A method truly capable of resisting against that calamity did not yet exist.

An example would be the defensive system of Star City. Chen Feng had found a defensive system that was a huge energy barrier imitating the appearance of a celestial body that would envelope the whole of Star City. A defensive barrier possessing the ability to defend against and counterattack against all sorts of abilities, an existence said to possess the top-most defense.

Chen Feng contemplated as he studied the details regarding Star City's defense.

The next day, as the Star City Conference was starting, the whole of Star City started bustling with noise. Only when something involved a strategic decision of great importance would the upper levels of Star City hold a conference to discuss it. This time around, the topic of their discussion was the loot box.

Since Chen Feng was now already the recipient of the producer excellence award, they were hoping that he would be able to somewhat reduce the price. Countless people were looking forward to this.

The conference started at ten sharp. Chen Feng had arrived early in the morning as well. The so-called Star City Conference was in actuality a gathering of everyone qualified to vote for strategic decisions before they started voting for or against the discussed strategic decisions.

Finally, the decision would be made after the voting.

All the members of the management and excellent producers would be eligible to participate in this. However, none of the excellent producers awarded during the previous years were here. For these people, unless there was something that interested them in the conference, they would simply not attend. Hence, although there was a huge number of people eligible for voting, the final number of voters would be around 20 or 30 people.

Naturally, for this affair concerning Chen Feng's loot box, none of them were eligible to vote for it. This was something that could only be decided by Chen Feng himself. As such, they could only discuss it, rather than calling for a vote on it.

Before long, the vice president and the rest entered the conference hall.

Next, the conference officially began. Everyone first proceeded to welcome Chen Feng's inclusion into the ranks of excellent producers before moving on with the hot "loot box incident."

Shua!

Almost everyone's gaze landed on Chen Feng.

"All right, just reduce the price then," Chen Feng said indifferently.

He wasn't particularly interested in the contribution points anyway. It was only something he had accumulated to obtain the excellence award. However, even if the price was reduced, he had to ascertain that it was done in a way that the old customers of his were not disheartened by the price reduction.

"I will do it step by step," Chen Feng muttered. "Right now, it's still the 20% promotion period… After several days, I will permanently maintain the price at 20% promotion. After a while, the price reduction will be 50%.. .followed by 70%... then 90%... to achieve the price reduction goal."

With this, the benefits of both his old and new customers would be protected.

"Good."

Everyone was overjoyed at this.

"Many thanks."

Now they found Chen Feng much more pleasing to their eyes.

Chen Feng smiled bashfully.

Soon they started discussing other strategic decisions. Everyone started voting. As for Chen Feng, he abstained from voting most of the time. The conference reached the end quickly.

However, just as the conference was about to end, Chen Feng stood up suddenly.

Chen Feng slowly said, "I have a proposal."

What?

Everyone widened their eyes.

Proposal? What was he thinking of doing?

"Chen Feng…" Hou Liang pulled Chen Feng down immediately. Had this child gone crazy?

That's right. Although every participant of this conference had a right to propose something for everyone else to vote on, under normal circumstances, only the upper management, such as the vice president, would be the ones doing the proposing. It was quite rare for someone else to propose something.

After all, the others did not possess the authority the higher management possessed. Hence, even after the proposal, it couldn't be said for sure that anyone else would agree with what was proposed.

In the beginning, everyone would be making their respective proposals in excitement. However, after finding out that their proposals would always be rejected, as they were unable to obtain majority support, they would only give up on proposing.

Unexpectedly… on his first day as an excellent producer, Chen Feng had decided to use this right of proposal.

This guy was truly brave!

"Oh?" The vice president looked at Chen Feng unhurriedly with an indescribable expression on his face. "Well, let's hear it, then."

As everyone heard his words, they wiped their sweat. The president was in seclusion all year round. As such, the authority of Star City was normally in the hands of the vice president. After all these years, a vast majority of the management were comprised of his supporters.

Proposal?

Without obtaining his approval, no proposals would be approved.

This was, after all, a sort of provocation toward the authority of the vice president. After all, back when the conference had first started, its purpose had been to keep the power of the president in check. This was the true purpose of the existence of this conference.

However, as time had passed, it had become how it was currently. Although there were a huge amount of excellent producers, they were generally apathetic people who were not bothered with affairs that did not affect them. As such, the conference had completely failed to keep the balance of power in check. At the very most, these excellent producers would only vote occasionally to affect some minor decisions.

Chen Feng proposed his idea. "I hope that Star City will be able to deploy the Celestial Defense System as soon as possible."

Shua!

Light swirled.

He started explaining. Using various information he had—some of which was bogus, some genuine—he started talking about various terrifying scenarios that might happen during the upcoming attack against Star City by the Mysterious Organization.

"In conclusion, I hope that we can deploy the Celestial Defense System as soon as possible," Chen Feng said calmly.

Celestial Defense System?

That thing… if what Chen Feng said was true and the Mysterious Organization indeed possessed some methods of attack specifically designed for Star City, it was quite a reliable idea to have the Celestial Defense System installed.

Moreover, even without any crisis, there wouldn't be any disadvantages to upgrading their defense system anyway.

"I find this to be acceptable."

"Feasible."

"Surprisingly, his idea is quite acceptable."

Everyone started discussing.

Right at this instant, the vice president started talking slowly. "I have two questions."

Chen Feng looked at him. "Please say what you have in mind."

"First, how is this Mysterious Organization capable of possessing the power to destroy Star City? An organization that has been suppressed by us to the point where they can only hide everywhere like a rat, what is there to be afraid of?

"Second, activation of the Celestial Defense System requires the cooperation of the Genetic Union as well. A huge amount of manpower and resources, and funds in the billions, are required. Where should this money come from, then? The reserve fund of Star City? If we were to use up the reserve fund, the progress of development in gene production at Star City will have at least a 200% reduction in speed." The vice president finished his words indifferently. Everyone else sunk into silence. Only two points of his had negated almost everything Chen Feng had suggested.

The basis of Chen Feng's argument was the threat posed by the Mysterious Organization. However, at his very first sentence, the vice president had this threat negated. As for all the things he'd said subsequently, such as funds and the like, none of those were important.

In short, the vice president was totally against this idea. The others exchanged glances and made their decision shortly after.

Soon, some of them started speaking out.

"I reject this proposal."

"I reject this proposal as well."

However, as this was something Chen Feng had proposed toward the end of the conference, a long time was required for everyone to discuss this. As such, the final voting was delayed.

The vice president announced the end of today's conference. "Since the discussion has yet to end, we will continue tomorrow."

Soon, everyone left. What had happened during the conference was spread to the public, causing a huge sensation.

Had Chen Feng gone crazy? This was the first thought everyone had.

Hou Liang shook his head helplessly. "See."

"No worries."

Chen Feng merely smiled at this bureaucracy. The only reason he had made his proposal at the end of the conference was so that the final vote could be delayed.

As for tomorrow?

Hehehehe…

Chen Feng smiled profoundly. "Don't worry, there will be people agreeing with my proposal."

Hou Liang smiled bitterly. "How is that possible?"

He had been here for several decades. As such, he had a deeper understanding of how things were done around here compared to Chen Feng.

Out of all the people from the management eligible for voting, 80% of them were from the vice president's faction. As for the rest, they might not necessarily support Chen Feng either. Hence, Chen Feng simply had zero hope of succeeding in his proposal.

Picture this situation: If Chen Feng's proposal was approved, what would happen if the others decided to start making their own proposals as well?

Or perhaps… one day, someone might decide to do away with the vice president's post?

This was the main reason the vice president would not relinquish his grasp of power on the conference. He would not hand over the power capable of deciding his fate to some excellent producer!

The only right those excellent producers needed to have was the right to vote. That would be sufficient. This was the vice president's bottom line.

The night passed quietly.

Chen Feng's proposal had also caused quite an incident. Everyone was thinking that Chen Feng was akin to a newborn calf that was unaware of the tiger's horror. Or perhaps he was simply unaware of the unwritten rules around here.

"He is, after all, too young…"

"True."

"Well, he will wake up from his illusion tomorrow."

"As a genius, he indeed needs more life experience."

Everyone discussed calmly.

The next day, the conference reopened to continue the discussion.

However, shocking everyone present, just as the conference started, they discovered that there were around 40 to 50 excellent producers present in this conference.

Their amount was so huge the conference hall couldn't fit them all.

"What happened?"

The vice president had an ominous feeling.

Chapter 284: Everything Is Changing

Translator: Limostn Editor: Tennesh

At the Star City Conference, the discussion of a certain proposal was progressing. The conference hall that had always been rather empty was currently filled with numerous people. There were even some who were standing due to a shortage of seats. Everyone else, the vice president included, was bewildered. They had never imagined a day would come where this room would be filled to the point that people needed to stand because of a shortage of seats!

"Should we change into a bigger hall?" proposed the vice president.

"Nope."

"I'm fine standing."

An old producer smiled as he said, "Let's get this started. After it's over, I will be going back."

Vice president: "…" Why the heck are all these old men here sticking their nose into this conference?

Why had these people appeared here? No one knew the answer. The vice president had a faint feeling that this was related to Chen Feng. Unfortunately, though, he did not have the guts to chase these people away. Apart from that weirdo Chen Feng, anyone else capable of receiving the excellence award would be a person of a terrifying identity. Regardless of their production level or background, all were top notch. None of this was something a vice president like him could shake.

"Then… let's begin the conference." The vice president inhaled deeply before continuing, "Pertaining to the deployment of the Celestial Defense System at Star City, I believe everyone has already made up their mind on this. Now, let us start voting. Those agreeing with the deployment of the Celestial Defense System—"

Just as the vice president started talking.

"I agree!"

"I agree!"

Shua!

Shua!

Shua!

A huge bunch of hands were raised as a sign of agreement.

Ten…

Twenty…

Thirty…

As for the producers standing around due to seat shortage, almost every single one of them had their hands raised as well. As for the other excellent producers that were only here was spectators, they raised their hand to join in the crowd without hesitation as well when they witnessed this scene.

Finally, a total of 40 votes were accumulated in favor of deployment. The vice president's eyes darkened.

It passed! The proposal was passed just like that!

He looked at himself and the 20-odd people in his faction, and his heart chilled. He had actually been defeated by an excellent producer like Chen Feng.

Nobody was aware of the reason these excellent producers had agreed with Chen Feng's proposal. One had to know that, in every year's excellence award, every single recipient of the award was the one with the highest contribution points. These were the people who had depended on their accumulation and background to fight over the top position. As such, these excellent producers here were all unrelated to each other. Some were even those of opposing factions. If so, how had they reached this agreement?

It was totally unknown.

An old producer impatiently asked the vice president, "Is it done?"

"Yes, it's done." The vice president smiled bitterly as he announced, "The proposal for the deployment of the Celestial Defense System has been approved. It will be carried out starting from today."

Perhaps… Chen Feng made up some crisis to persuade these excellent producers? the vice president guessed.

These old producers were all people who had reached great heights, had large families, and led businesses. As such, all of them were extremely afraid of the prospect of death. If Chen Feng was able to describe the crisis in an extremely horrifying way, it was quite probable they would be persuaded. Hence, these old men had all decided to come here for a vote.

Mhm… this is most probably what happened, the vice president thought to himself.

However, right at this instant, after he agreed with the implementation of Chen Feng's proposal, all the excellent producers started leaving.

Instantly, the conference hall appeared empty once again.

The vice president's expression darkened.

Evidently, all of them had only been here to vote for Chen Feng's proposal, only here to support Chen Feng. They had not even bothered to give the vice president face and pretend to stay an extra minute here after the vote was done.

The vice president was ashen faced. "This is too excessive…"

The vice president looked toward Chen Feng. As for the history's youngest excellent producer, Chen Feng, he merely smiled faintly, as if everything was under his control.

The vice president narrowed his eyes. This guy…

Soon, the conference ended.

The news of the Celestial Defense System passing the vote had all of Star City shocked.

"It passed?"

"How is that possible…"

"How is that not possible? I heard that almost half the current existing excellent producers left their seclusion to give Chen Feng a vote of support."

"God, Chen Feng commands such a level of support?"

"How powerful!"

"Is this a form of protest by those old producers? Hmph. If the vice president persists in his ways, perhaps in the next conference, he might even get the vice president post removed altogether…"

"That's very probable."

Everyone started discussing without stop.

They felt that everything had suddenly changed. The vice president's sole monopoly on power had been defeated by Chen Feng just like that. This was truly too terrifying.

"A mere excellent producer actually possessed such a capability…"

Countless people shivered at this thought. The capability demonstrated by Chen Feng was simply too dreadful. Among them, what shocked everyone the most and piqued their curiosity the most was the method Chen Feng had employed to have all these excellent producers vote in his favor.

One had to know that these were a group of people from different factions, some of them from factions opposing each other. This was what everyone knew. On that very day, countless people started visiting those old producers in hopes of getting a clue.

None of them managed to obtain any information. It wasn't long before there was no longer any need for them to try to find that out, though. On the next day, as rumors were still flying everywhere as everyone tried guessing the reason, a single announcement shocked everyone.

The latest gene reagent created by Chen Feng had been certified and was about to be released for sale soon. The name of the gene reagent: heaven-dazzling gene reagent!

"Gene reagent?"

"It's not a research paper?"

"He can even sell this thing?

"Oh, I heard that Chen Feng actually has his own shop."

"Is that so?"

Everyone was confused.

Only a gene reagent?

One had to know that if it was a research paper he had released, it would have been something everyone could study. As for an item like a gene reagent, it was something a majority of the people might not even require, especially for the members of the Gene Production Association. What a joke. Were there any gene reagents the Gene Production Association was incapable of producing? Was there a need for them to purchase any gene reagents?

Moreover, gene producers rarely get involved in combat situations. As such, what was the use of those gene reagents for them? Besides, the Gene Production Association was essentially an association that focused on the sale of gene reagents instead of the purchase of gene reagents.

As such, they have no need for any gene reagents. What was so special about the gene reagent Chen Feng was selling?

However, these thoughts only remained in their heads for one single hour. When they obtained the details regarding Chen Feng's gene reagent from the certification center, the whole world stirred.

--

Name: Heaven-Dazzling Gene Reagent

Difficulty: 5 stars

Class: D

Function: Forcefully increases spiritual energy by 1 point. Also applicable when breaking through one's limit (the effect will be weakened when used by those above C class).

--

"This…"

"God!"

"How could such a thing exist?"

Countless people were shocked.

Limit breakthrough! For C class! Such a thing actually existed in this world!?

For producers, what was the hardest feat for them? Breaking through! Not only did they need to spend a huge amount of time studying gene production, they also needed to spare some time to increase their strength as well. However, as gene producers were generally without combat power, strength increase was an extremely difficult feat for them. Even more so for limit breakthrough.

Such a gene reagent was something whose existence was almost impossible.

There were a huge amount of producers that were stuck as advanced-level producers for their whole lives because they were limited by their class, yet now Chen Feng had casually tossed out a gene reagent… a gene reagent that, interestingly, happened to be a gene reagent capable of breaking one through into C class, the minimum class an advanced producer required to become a master producer.

What did this signify? This signified that those who had been stuck as advanced-level producers for many years could now take this leap forward to become a true master producer! From then on, their identity would be different! From then on, their strength would increase!

An upgrade from advanced producer to master producer was a transformation in the truest sense.

"Such an item…"

Everyone's heart trembled.

The significance of this thing here was far higher to the Gene Production Association compared to those warriors at the Genetic Union. It was very probable that this single gene reagent of Chen Feng's would bring about a huge upgrade to the strength of the Gene Production Association as a whole.

"Everything is going to change."

This was what everyone thought.

Chapter 285: The Fourth Gene

Translator: Limostn Editor: Tennesh

The next day, at The Strongest Gene shop in the virtual community, this small shop that had been gradually forgotten by the masses officially began selling the heaven-dazzling gene reagent. The sale was limited to three per day. This was the result of Chen Feng's consideration after passing the certification for this gene reagent.

Three gene reagents per day might be able to somewhat satisfy the market demand, but surprising everyone, all three sets of this gene reagent were sold at an extremely expensive price. The price sensationalized the whole world.

"This is crazy."

"This price…"

"It went over ten million just like that?"

Everyone was bewildered. They had never imagined that a gene reagent could reach such a price. However, even at this price, the demand still wildly exceeded the supply for this gene reagent. It was said that all three gene reagents released on that day were purchased by some resellers.

Chen Feng and the heaven-dazzling gene reagent became the two terms that were trending worldwide. The wave that was Chen Feng's name, which had calmed since the competition back then, was once again raging, his name becoming known worldwide.

However, at this moment where his name seemed to be all the rage, Chen Feng was hiding in seclusion. He had no other choice. The amount of gene reagents he owed others were truly too high in amount. For example, those old brothers that had voted for his proposal at the conference.

Although these people had no use for this gene reagent, it was different for their descendants. That was also the reason they all had come out and voted for Chen Feng's proposal. After seven whole days in seclusion, Chen Feng finally managed to produce enough of this gene reagent to pay his debts.

As of now, the legend of the heaven-dazzling gene reagent started spreading. Along with that, Wu Yaotian became a figure of legends among the masses. Wu Hui was extremely grateful for this. He was aware that this was a gift to him by Chen Feng.

Wu Hui clenched his fists. "Master…"

Surprising everyone, at this moment, an odd piece of news started spreading. It was actually the objection of the Wu family that believed that Chen Feng had stolen Wu Yaotian's formula.

Ah???

Wu Hui was at a loss.

Wu family? What Wu family?

When further investigation was done on this, they found with astonishment that these were the relatives of Wu Hui, the bunch of people that had previously bullied Wu Hui terribly. This bunch of people had appeared.

"These guys…" Wu Hui's killing intent surged. These were the same bunch of people that had been causing a disturbance at their family the first instant his father had perished.

"You feel like killing someone?" Chen Feng asked toyingly.

Wu Hui's gaze was sharp. "Yes!"

Chen Feng smiled calmly. "Go, then. However, before that, there is something that you need to do."

Wu Hui raised his head blankly. "Ah?"

A sinister smile appeared on Chen Feng's face. "Something that should have been done long ago…"

He was simply filled with anticipation for that thing.

The next day, just as the Wu family's relatives were raising their objections, outside of everyone's expectations, a video was released. It was released at the combat forum and had an astonishing title.

"Wu Hui, Son of Wu Yaotian: The Genius Youngster, a True Demonic Murderer!"

What?

Everyone opened the video with curiosity.

What they saw was a seemingly ordinary recording of a battle. However, the instant the video started playing, the intense killing intent from the recorded scene felt like it was leaking out of the video itself. That intense killing intent seemingly condensed in the sky, akin to the arrival of an apocalypse.

An ice-cold voice echoed, "Cosmic Manifestation, first form…"

The air trembled. From the horizon, a pitch-black aura gleamed without stop before a terrifying black sword appeared, seemingly piercing through the horizon to descend upon this world from the heavens.

Bang!

The viewers were almost shaken out of the video they were watching.

"I am Wu Hui…"

"I once killed an A class…"

"This is the first form…"

"Cosmic Manifestation, second form: Demonic Asura Hatchet!"

"I have a hatchet originating from the Asura Domain. Accompanying this hatchet is the power to corrode the universe and the might to crush mountains. Every single slash with this hatchet disintegrates space itself. The instant this Demonic Asura Hatchet is unleashed, it will not return without first tasting blood."

…

The indifferent voice echoed.

Every single time Wu Hui moved, heaven and earth trembled.

Second form…

Third form…

Every single time he attacked, rivers of blood were created.

Those formidable B-class genetic warriors were killed by him!

Shua!

Light swirled around as the video finally ended.

The bone-piercing chill startled all the viewers awake.

It was also at this instant that they discovered that their backs were already drenched with sweat as of an unknown point in time. Only now did the masses realize that the strongest person in the Wu family was not Wu Yaotian; rather, it was Wu Hui.

The most eye-catching genius of the Wu family was actually this youth.

"He's only 14 years old?"

"Killing an A class at 14 years old?"

Everyone exclaimed in admiration.

That scene with rivers of blood was etched into their brains. Along with the sale of the heaven-dazzling gene reagent, as the popularity of Wu Yaotian peaked, Wu Hui's appearance created an even bigger uproar.

Henceforth, Wu Hui the Demonic King was known worldwide.

Under Chen Feng's intentional dissemination, the video of Wu Hui's battle spread far and wide. Almost everyone formed their impression of him: "Wu Hui is very powerful. Extremely powerful, at least an A-class combatant!"

Wu Hui was extremely nervous. "Master…"

"Go." Chen Feng patted his shoulder. "Now everyone has a preformed impression of you. You can go back without worry now. Wu family, hehe…"

Wu Hui was grateful. "Yes."

Chen Feng reminded him, "Remember! Don't tell anyone the truth of your ability. As long as no one knows about it, you are undefeatable! Oh right, remember to record more of your battles. The recordings of those scenes with a terrifying atmosphere can be used to create a virtual video to remind everyone of your strength. Only with this can you become even stronger."

"All right."

Wu Hui left.

With the return of this youngster enveloped in the demonic aura of a genius, those clowns at the Wu family would most probably be huddled together while they trembled in fear.

Chen Feng stretched lazily. "Finally, I'm done with the busy tasks."

The Celestial Defense System was already deployed and would be ready in a month. At that time, Star City would finally possess a certain degree of defensive power. Chen Feng did not need to worry about any sudden attacks that would directly destroy Star City anymore. Wu Hui's affair was settled as well. Next… he could finally proceed with his personal affairs.

Gene fusion!

Chen Feng concentrated his gaze on the C-class gene reagents list.

With his current status, 80% of the database of Star City was available to him. He could easily obtain all the information pertaining to C-class fusion gene reagents.

Wind Blade, Myriad Illusions, Energy Equipment…

What should the fourth ability be?

Chen Feng sunk into contemplation.

Due to the existence of his unlimited Wind Blades, his Energy Equipment was extremely formidable. He was currently well equipped for both defense and offense. Apart from that, he also possessed a capability to skip classes and battle those of higher classes to a certain degree.

Based on the difference of their attributes, for him to battle someone of a higher class, the minimum requirement was that the opponent's power not exceed his power by tenfold.

The tenfold here did not refer to merely ten times his attributes. Rather, it was tenfold his power. For example, if his opponent were using an ability that multiplied his combat power by two, Chen Feng would require a combat power equivalent to a C-class's power multiplied by 20 in order to contend against this opponent.

Chen Feng analyzed. "The amplification effect of Energy Equipment is 500%... If I use unlimited Wind Blades as the energy supply, I might be able to amplify my power by tenfold. If Myriad Illusionary Wind Blade are used to obtain a property that my opponent is weak against, I might be able to double the effect of my power."

Based on this calculation, he might have a chance of victory against someone who had newly advanced into B class. Naturally, this would be limited to a B class without any genetic abilities with a power amplification of more than 200%.

As for a veteran B class, he could casually used some genetic abilities with an amplification of 300% or 500% or some random secret art and Chen Feng would be directly defeated.

Skipping classes was simply a feat that would be harder the higher a person's class was.

Chen Feng rubbed his head. "I am still too weak…"

His plan to charge into A class before the Star City battle was somewhat unreliable. Moreover, it was quite probable that the A class that he reached in a rush might not be too formidable combat power-wise due to the haste in his advancement. If that were the case, things would be worse for him. Hence, after thinking about it, Chen Feng decided to put his focus on increasing his actual combat power to A class rather than actually reaching A class. This seemed to be a more rational path for him to take.

However, a casual attack by an A class would be a hundredfold stronger than a regular C class. A regular genetic ability wouldn't help if he wanted to reach such a level.

He did not possess a unique bloodline like what Wu Hui possessed.

How should he increase his combat power, then? What was the genetic ability capable of this?

Chen Feng started speed-reading the data of countless gene reagents.

Wind?

Fire?

Water?

Lighting?

All these properties were capable of bringing a formidable combat power to his Energy Equipment. However, after contemplation, Chen Feng rejected all these, as these were properties that Myriad Illusions would be able to provide him anyway. When Myriad Illusionary Wind Blade was used to assemble Energy Equipment, the Energy Equipment would be of the most optimal property to face the opponent he was facing. That was also the strongest aspect of his Energy Equipment and the basis of Chen Feng's combat power.

"Filter all property-based amplification genetic abilities."

Shua!

Eighty percent of the list Chen Feng was reading disappeared.

Chen Feng raised his head and focused on the remaining abilities on the list.

Gravity…

Space…

What remained were some formidable and rare abilities.

Naturally, due to the unique usage of these abilities, the combat power of these abilities was somewhat weak compared to a regular property-based ability. There was a gap of at least threefold in combat power.

For example, the gravity-controlling ability. When this ability was used by itself, it would only be able to weakly affect gravity. Only when this ability was used as the core with other complementing genetic abilities to form a secret art would it unleash its true power. For a person like Chen Feng who would not be able to use any proper secret arts due to his existing genetic abilities, such genetic abilities weren't particularly useful.

Increasing combat power…

Challenging those of higher classes…

Chen Feng skimmed through the list speedily. However, he could not find any genetic abilities he was satisfied with. A vast majority of these abilities required some complementing genetic abilities to unleash their true power.

Suddenly, he blanked.

Wait. To defeat the enemy, increasing his combat power was not the only way to go about it. If he was able to weaken his enemy…

Chapter 286: Nethergaze

Translator: Limostn Editor: Tennesh

Shua!

Once again, Chen Feng concentrated on the data of the C-class fusion gene reagents. Soon, he locked onto a particular gene reagent.

--

Death Lion Gene Reagent

Class: C

Difficulty: 4 stars

Type: Fusion gene reagent

Effect: Obtain the Nethergaze genetic ability

Function: Activates the eye of the netherworld to analyze the rules of the opponent's energy and seek the opponent's fatal weak point. If the opponent's weak point is successfully hit, the user's power will be amplified tenfold. Depending on the gap between the strength of the user and the opponent, the time taken for the analysis will differ.

Secret art combination: Not yet discovered.

--

Nethergaze! An extremely powerful genetic ability. This was a different type of ability than Wind Blade, Myriad Illusions, and Energy Equipment, which were all energy-based attacking abilities. Nethergaze was a pure support genetic ability that was able to help one unleash an extremely formidable combat power.

An amplifier of tenfold signified that this ability alone would enable one to challenge an opponent one class higher than the user.

This was an extremely powerful support ability. However, the amount of users of this ability was quite low in amount. The reason for this was quite simple: this was an ability without any secret art combinations.

The death lion gene reagent did not work well with other gene reagents.

In other words…

The moment one fused with this genetic ability, they would obtain a lone independent genetic ability that would not work together with one's other genetic abilities.

One would lose the chance to obtain countless secret arts of one's class. This would result in the user of this genetic ability having a secret art that would forever be one star lower than the secret arts of others.

For example, at a class where everyone else would possess a 4-star secret art, a user of Nethergaze would only have a 3-star secret art. When others were using 5-star secret arts, the user would only possess a 4-star secret art. This would create a disparity between them. The difference between secret arts with a one-star difference was as wide as the ocean.

Hence, despite how powerful this ability was, the number of users of this ability was extremely low in amount. A vast majority of people were not willing to waste one of their genetic ability slots to obtain a pure support genetic ability that would only work by itself.

However, for Chen Feng, this was the best ability for him, as he was a person who did not require any sort of secret art or gene armament.

"Fatal weak point…"

Chen Feng focused on this ability's description. Before fusing with this ability, he wanted to see the ability's actual effect and find out more about the difference in analysis time depending on the gap in strength between the two parties…

Shua!

Chen Feng started studying the internal database of Star City.

Shua!

Shua!

Countless data appeared on his screen without stop. This was a special benefit for the excellence award holders. One after another, reports pertaining to this ability appeared.

Shua!

Chen Feng opened these reports.

Hum—

Light swirled around him as Chen Feng entered the virtual video.

This was the basic requirement for one who was testing a genetic ability. During the initial test, it would be automatically recorded to help with data gathering and future tests.

In the video, a C-class middle-aged man appeared. In front of him was a C-class android.

Bang!

The battle started.

It could be clearly seen that the middle-aged man was at a disadvantage in this battle. Facing an android with off-the-charts combat power, he was simply powerless.

Right at that instant.

Hum—

The middle-aged man's eyes started glowing a bizarre tint of green.

Nethergaze, activated!

Shua!

The whole world seemingly turned ash-green in color.

Before his eyes was the android whose body was enveloped by a dazzling radiance, which represented the android's energy. Apart from that, numerous odd lines that were seemingly related to the android could be seen on its body as well.

Hum—

Hum—

Amidst the dazzling radiance, the middle-aged man continued the battle. His eyes glowed with a bizarre ash-green glow and locked onto the android.

From the middle-aged man's point of view, a bizarre ash-green crosshair was locked onto the android. The crosshair was formed of three different halos and could be seen rotating without stop while the android was locked onto.

Finally, the android's fatal weak point was locked onto.

Shua!

The radiance of the ash-green crosshair intensified.

Now!

Bang!

The middle-aged man that had been at a disadvantage all along suddenly erupted and aimed straight at the android's chest. Toward the initially incomparably solid chest of the android, he unleashed his strongest attack.

Bang!

The terrifying attack erupted in power, and the android started defending itself in a well-practiced manner. Based on the data it had gathered regarding this opponent during the battle, such an attack would not be able to penetrate its defenses.

However…

Bang!

That terrifying attack actually ignored everything and, with tenfold power and eruption, bombarded straight toward the android.

The middle-aged man that had initially been somewhat weaker than the android had erupted with an extremely powerful attack, unleashing a power that could even challenge those of a higher class and insta-killed the android.

Shua!

The battle ended.

The scene before Chen Feng returned to reality.

Chen Feng was shaken. "This is the so-called fatal weak point?"

He was sure that, when the android had been locked onto by the ability, all the defensive abilities of the android had still been working normally. However, that attack had still worked against the android.

This signified that this ability was not a pure physical attack. Rather, it was an ability that existed outside of the rules, an ability capable of ignoring the rules of nature and ignoring defenses—an extremely terrifying ability!

Naturally, the time required for lockdown and analysis was somewhat long…

Chen Feng played a different video. "How about the others…"

This time, it was the same C-class middle-aged man against a B-class opponent. The time taken for the analysis to complete increased greatly. Three whole minutes were required for the analysis to be completed. After the analysis was done, the middle-aged man erupted with a single powerful attack and injured the B-class enemy.

That's right, he only successfully injured the enemy. Next, he was defeated by the enemy.

Chen Feng: "…"

Due to the fact that this middle-aged man had fused with this genetic ability, his combat power was already comparatively weaker than other C-class warriors, and he still needed to struggle for three whole minutes against a B class before his analysis was completed? If this wasn't a test, he would have probably been killed by his enemy.

Apart from that, even if the analysis was completed and tenfold power was unleashed… Mhm…so what?

Therefore, the test concluded that it was a nearly impossible feat for one to use this ability to challenge a person of a higher class.

"The test result is still trustable," Chen Feng muttered. After he finished studying the data, he was even more resolute in his decision to choose Nethergaze as his ability. The only reason for this was because this ability was simply too compatible with him.

Issues such as weak combat power among those in the same class were nonexistent factors for him. He was sure that he had zero fear against any enemy that was in the same class as him. The only foes he had a problem dealing with presently were those enemies that were way more powerful than him. For this specific issue, Nethergaze would be able to help him accomplish what he wanted.

He was sure that, with his strength, he would not even require a full three minutes to complete the lockdown. Furthermore, this set of data he'd read was only applicable for a regular version of this ability. If the gene reagent was mutated…

Chen Feng's eyes started shining. He had been saving his luck value for quite a while. This was what he had been waiting for.

Shua!

He took out all the data pertaining to the death lion gene reagent: "Death lion gene reagent is a gene reagent produced from the genes of a terrifying C-class mutated beast called a death lion. This is beast that resides at a unique location known as the Nether Capital, which also happens to be a forbidden area."

"Forbidden area?"

Chen Feng's heart leaped as he continued reading.

"Nether Capital used to be an extremely popular city. One day, an unforeseen event happened and every single life form there was killed in a single night, turning the city into a ghost town."

Recommended explorer's class: ???

Rate of exploration: 5%

Description: An A-class genetic warrior and a huge amount of B-class genetic warriors were deployed here by the Genetic Union in the past. However, due to the permanent corrosive damage dealt to their body when they stepped into this area, only 5% of the area was explored before those genetic warriors left hastily. From then onward, this became a forbidden area none dared to enter. With the passing of time, some unique mutated beasts possessing bizarre genetic abilities were birthed here. Occasionally, some of these beasts would wander out of this area, giving people the chance to capture them. One such mutated beast is the death lion.

"In conclusion… there's no need to enter. I only need to wander outside this area and there will be a chance of me capturing a death lion?"

Chen Feng was tempted.

Chapter 287: Have You Seen Those…

Translator: Limostn Editor: Tennesh

Nether Capital. This was quite a peculiar place. When Chen Feng reached the area near this place on an Ironcloud, what entered his sight was a city enveloped by dark clouds. With the dark smog obscuring the city, nothing could be seen clearly. This was the so-called Nether Capital.

Chen Feng narrowed his eyes. "This feeling…"

The nearer he got to Nether Capital, the more intense that bizarre chill he was feeling became. That sinister feeling where his back chilled caused him to shudder uncontrollably. Pervading this place was a certain mysterious power. Such a power capable of causing A-class warriors to retreat was definitely not simple.

Shua!

His Luck Aura surveillance system was fully activated. Based on the information he had read, there would be one or two death lions wandering out here every time a certain interval of time had passed. They would wander around outside of the Nether Capital for a short period of time before returning back to where they came from. This window of time where death lions would wander out was what Chen Feng was waiting for.

Surprisingly, though, even after two full days of waiting here, Chen Feng had yet to see any life forms appearing.

"Something is not right…"

Chen Feng started flipping through the data he had.

In the past, the frequency of the death lion's appearance was eight hours per appearance at maximum.

Chen Feng's heart throbbed. "Something must have happened!"

If a death lion never appear, he would most probably be forced to enter the Nether Capital for real. However, this city in front of him was different from the ice river or the frozen sea he had been to previously. At those places, the option to try evading any danger he encountered was available. But here, it was too dangerous. The only reason the frozen sea had remained an untamed region in the past was due to the unique seawater there. As long as he avoided the seawater, that place in itself wasn't a particularly dangerous place. But here… this was truly a dangerous place. A ghost town enveloped by a sinister aura? Nobody would be able to predict what was going to happen in there.

Chen Feng started approaching the Nether Capital cautiously. "Let's just go take a look first."

Just as he was around 5 km away from the Nether Capital, the temperature around him dropped to the freezing point. The visibility dropped without stop as well, and a sense of chill enveloped him.

Hum—

Chen Feng started releasing some energy to defend himself against this.

"A huge amount of bizarre energy is contained within the air around here. The energy in the air here is also somewhat corrosive in nature. As for other characteristics of the energy, they are currently unknown…"

Chen Feng started analyzing the energy contained in the air around him based on the damage the energy was doing to the defensive layer of energy he had released. The nearer he got to the Nether Capital, the faster his energy was exhausted. Fortunately, Chen Feng was already a C-class warrior now. As such, such a level of exhaustion was still acceptable for him.

Chen Feng pondered. "Before truly entering the Nether Capital, I should be able to maintain a balance between energy exhaustion and regeneration."

However, when he was 1 km away from the Nether Capital, his Luck Aura – Alarm triggered.

Danger!

Chen Feng retreated without hesitation.

Shua!

He retreated rapidly. In the darkness, two pitch-black silhouettes flashed past. At this instant, intense killing intent could be felt. B class! Both of the silhouettes were B class! This confirmed that mutated beasts indeed existed here. Chen Feng retreated without stop for a distance of 1 km. He only stopped when his Luck Aura – Alarm stopped blazing.

Chen Feng frowned. They actually chased after me for such a long distance…

With his current strength, the most he could accomplish was maintain a balance between energy exhaustion and energy recovery to defend against the corrosive energy lingering in the air around him. In other words, he would not be able to regenerate any other excess energy usage. The moment he started battling a mutated beast here, things would look grim for him.

Chen Feng planned. "Seems like I have to prepare some recovery gene reagents."

After this single trip, he gained a rough understanding of this place. Even if he was only here to capture a single death lion, he would still have to prepare a huge amount of recovery gene reagents. Even with that, he would most probably fail to achieve his objective alone.

Granted, the death lion was merely a C-class mutated beast. However, there was a possibility that a B-class mutated beast might be wandering around this place at any given moment. For example: the two black silhouettes that had been chasing after him earlier.

Chen Feng rubbed his somewhat aching head. "It is still too difficult for me to deal with B class presently…"

His initial plan had been to sneak in quietly and focus on killing a single death lion noiselessly before leaving after extracting the blood essence of the death lion, but now it seemed that this plan would not work.

Chen Feng thought about it. "I have to get some help."

It was too dangerous to hire outsiders for this. This was especially true for the present him with his unique identity. The people who were waiting for an opportunity to kidnap him would probably be quite high in amount. Since that was the case, he could only look for some trustworthy people for help, then. Besides that, the bizarre environment of this place was also something a vast majority of people couldn't deal with anyway.

Shua!

Chen Feng released a mission that was only limited to those in his contacts list.

--

Target: Nether Capital

Mission: Obtaining the blood essence of a death lion

Reward: Heaven-dazzling gene reagent

Description: The environment here is somewhat unique, as the air contains a corrosive energy. Please consider this carefully before accepting…

--

Ding!

Ding!

Shortly after, Chen Feng started receiving feedback for his issued mission.

Chen Feng was astonished to find that the person who had accepted his mission was Xu Fei.

Chen Feng was confused. This guy…

Shua!

A screen popped out.

"Do you not know how valuable a single heaven-dazzling gene reagent is nowadays? Hehe… a mere death lion, isn't it something I can capture with a wave of my hand? After obtaining the heaven-dazzling gene reagent, even if I'm not using it myself, I can still sell it off." Xu Fei proudly continued, "With my current body that can resist even the seawater of the frozen sea, mere corrosive energy in the air is nothing to me."

Chen Feng was startled as he realized that. True. He had almost forgotten that this guy's body had been reconstructed previously. An environment that was hard to deal with for others would pose no difficulty to Xu Fei. This was a guy with a built-in "aura of immunity." Perhaps he could truly help in this mission.

"All right."

Chen Feng approved Xu Fei's application.

As for the second applicant…

"Wang Chun?!"

Chen Feng was dumbstruck. This guy wanted to join as well? The hell! He was looking for helpers! Not looking for some "bosses" to join his mission!

Granted, Wang Chun's character was something Chen Feng approved of. His strength wasn't too shabby either. However, with this guy around, Chen Feng would always have the feeling that the roles were swapped, with him becoming the bodyguard instead! This guy's combat power wasn't particularly dependable, as far as Chen Feng was concerned!

Wang Chun's wan-looking face appeared on his screen. "It has been a while." The current Wang Chun was giving off the feeling of a person who'd had all his energy sucked out of him.

Chen Feng looked at him with a knowing look. "Have you been…" Had this guy activated the harem function of his Crystal Palace ability? How many days had it been since Chen Feng had last seen him? Wang Chun was already exhausted to such an extent.

Seemed like the Shen Wei siblings possessed quite a formidable "combat power"…

"Cough cough." Wang Chun coughed before replying with a pale complexion, "The main reason for this is the appearance of a third person."

Oh?

Chen Feng's heart thumped.

Third person! Apart from the Shen Wei siblings, a third person had appeared?

"At a place with an environment like the Nether Capital, she would be like a fish back in water. Her combat power will reach peak B class there." Wang Chun sighed with a bitter smile on his face. "If you are truly only hunting for a death lion and you are agreeable with us joining, can you give me the reward in advance?"

"All right," Chen Feng agreed.

Wang Chun's third summon?

He was somewhat looking forward to meeting her. If she was truly as powerful as Wang Chun's description, this trip of his might be easier. As they needed time to prepare for the trip to the Nether Capital, Chen Feng set the mission date to three days later. During the three days, Chen Feng produced numerous recovery gene reagents as preparation for the trip. As for the heaven dazzling gene reagents, he had already sent them over to Xu Fei and Wang Chun so they could increase their combat power before setting off on the mission.

As long as they prepared sufficiently, this mission should be quite simple. After three days, they gathered near the Nether Capital. After a period of time of not seeing Xu Fei, it seemed like some short hairs were sprouting out of Xu Fei's bald head once again. From its appearance, he would most probably regain his hair after a period of time.

Chen Feng smiled."Your hair is growing quite fast, eh?"

Xu Fei laughed proudly. "Hehe."

Soon, Wang Chun, with the appearance of a person completely exhausted of energy, appeared with the Shen Wei siblings. Next, Xu Fei and Wang Chun's group were formally introduced to each other.

Comics… are truly powerful! Xu Fei lamented. No wonder he found the girls familiar when he saw them. Xu Fei exclaimed in admiration, "If you girls are from The Crystal Palace… I think it is a comic I have seen before as well. You girls are super popular!"

Shen Yi smiled happily. "Thanks."

Xu Fei was curious. "You girls have actually read your own comic as well?"

"Naturally." Shen Yi smiled embarrassingly before continuing, "That was quite a peculiar experience."

"Oh oh oh oh. Actually, I have a question." With an inquisitive expression on his face, Xu Fei asked, "Have you girls seen any of your adult fan fictions?"

Shua!

Instantly, everyone sunk into silence.

Chapter 288: Demonic Girl

Translator: Limostn Editor: Tennesh

Bang!

A violent clump of flame was ignited. Accompanied by a miserable shout, that little amount of newly grown hair on Xu Fei's head was burnt clean and once again. His head became the shiny bald head it had been in the past.

Shen Wei snorted before stopped her flame. "Hmph."

Chen Feng: "…"

Wang Chun: "…"

They stared at Xu Fei, sympathy in their eyes. Fan fiction was usually something resulting from some comic, and a huge amount of the content was XXX rated… Wasn't Xu Fei courting death by asking this question?

"Clean those up for me when we return." Shen Wei stared at Wang Chun coldly and continued, "Anyone who still dares to wantonly draw such fan fiction, kill without mercy!"

Wang Chun wiped his cold sweat. "Yes, yes."

"My hair…" Xu Fei did not even have the tears to cry. He had truly only been curious, that was why he had asked that question!

Just as he was feeling all gloomy, an intoxicating and alluring voice drifted into his ears. "Ah, young brother, have you seen my fan fiction? I'm referring to those embarrassing fan fictions, yo…" The soft voice echoed by his ears.

Xu Fei raised his head abruptly.

Before him, an astonishingly beautiful young lady appeared. Her beauty was absolutely not below the Shen Wei siblings. What caused one's blood to pump was the pitifully little amount of clothing she wore. On her body, there were only several pieces of clothes, which were only sufficient to cover the important parts of her body… That alluring odor she had… and that intoxicating expression on her face…

Her body started pressing near to Xu Fei, to the point that her body was almost pasted to Xu Fei's body. However, for an unknown reason, Xu Fei's body chilled.

This feeling… this tone of voice…

Xu Fei was startled. "It's you!"

The demonic girl: Ming Yue!

A supervillain in The Crystal Palace!

Shua!

All the pores on Xu Fei's body shuddered as he retreated rapidly and alarmingly stared at her.

"Keh, how boring." Ming Yue curled her lips before settling her body down.

Only now did Xu Fei notice that, since an unknown point of time, the Shen Wei siblings had been fully armed and was staring at her on full alert. That was quite reasonable, since in the comic, they were archenemies!

Shen Wei sneered. "Why have you come out again?"

"Teehee, why can't I come out?" Ming Yue beamed as she rested her right hand on Wang Chun's body. "Am I right, my little master?"

Wang Chun started perspiring.

Ming Yue…

Chen Feng contemplated.

Was this the third character summoned by Wang Chun? Wait. From what Chen Feng remembered, shouldn't the character summoned be a person he was thinking of summoning in his heart? He had originally believed that Wang Chun would continue summoning the girls of the Shen family. Surprisingly, this brother here had quite a huge capacity for love and had directly summoned the supervillain of the comic. Moreover, out of all the villains, this demonic girl was the person he had summoned. Chen Feng remembered that, in the comic, this chick here was an omnipotent existence, capable of destroying everything…

Chen Feng gave Wang Chun a thumbs up. "You are a true man."

"It was an accident, an accident." Wang Chun had a bitter expression on his face. When he had been performing his summoning, he had been planning to summon the other member of the Shen Wei siblings. For an unknown reason, he had ended up summoning Ming Yue instead!

Moreover, he had never expected the summon to be successful! She was a supervillain! Her combat power surpassed everything in the comic! A character at such a level wasn't something he should have been able to summon with his present strength! Surprisingly, the thought of summoning her had only drifted past his brain briefly, and behold, the summon had succeeded!

Even if her actual power here in the real world was limited due to Wang Chun's strength, she was still extremely powerful. Because of this, he had gotten the silent treatment from the Shen Wei siblings for several days. He no longer had the courage to keep them inside the comic either. Every single day, they were released outside and were served like queens with good food and drinks. Who knew that…

"That was because our hearts are truly interlinked together, yo." Ming Yue embraced Wang Chun and continued happily, "Although theoretically, he isn't supposed to be able to summon me, if I am agreeable to being summoned out here, a small ounce of effort on his part is sufficient for me to be summoned. Am I right, my beloved little master?"

Ming Yue stared at Wang Chun while beaming.

Wang Chun was ashen faced.

The Shen Wei siblings merely snorted at that. "Hmph!"

They were mortal enemies in the comic. For them to not erupt in a battle right here, they were already giving Wang Chun sufficient face.

Wang Chun smiled bitterly. "You… what is it that you want, exactly…"

"What I want is very simple." In a cheerful manner, Ming Yue continued, "Find the author of this comic and get him to draw more underlings for me in the comic. On top of that, I want the women of the Shen family to all be locked in a cage and drowned, to be gang-raped to the point even their souls will eternally be unable to reincarnate."

Wang Chun: "…"

Chen Feng: "…"

Xu Fei: "…"

Damn, this chick is quite vicious.

Chen Feng and Xu Fei exchanged glances before looking at Wang Chun with sympathy. There were indeed times where a harem was not such a fun thing to have. Xu Fei rubbed his bald head and suddenly felt that his fate of being bald once again wasn't that pitiful after all.

Wang Chun smiled bitterly. "Big sister, this is not possible. The moment I decided to use this comic as my core genetic ability, this version of the comic I used became independent from the rest of the comics in circulation. In other words, from that moment onward, the world in my copy of the comic has developed independently and is no longer be related to the author. This is my very own world, and it is also your very own world. The moment my ability activated, everything online, everything written or drawn by the author, everything else no longer affected all of you," Wang Chun stated honestly.

Ming Yue stretched lazily. "I will believe you for now."

"Oh… yeah… I have a question. How did you come out here?" Wang Chun asked cautiously.

As their master, the only authority he had was to decide if he wanted to have a character summoned out into this world. This was also the only advantage he held over them. Surprisingly, Ming Yue was able to appear here directly without being summoned. He swore that he truly hadn't thought of anything improper earlier when she'd gotten out here. That was genuinely the truth!

"It's very simple." Ming Yue looked in the Nether Capital's direction. "There… I felt a familiar power. There, something seems to be calling for me," Ming Yue muttered.

Hiss—

Everyone else's heart throbbed violently.

Nether Capital? Calling?

Ming Yue was the tyrant of the Nether World of the world in the comic. What on earth had happened here at this Nether Capital such that even Ming Yue could feel that source of power? As they thought of the disappearing death lions and the irregular smog that had appeared here recently, something seemed to be happening at this Nether Capital, hidden in the darkness.

Xu Fei looked at Chen Feng. "Should we… cancel this mission?"

He was immune to any corrosive energy, and Wang Chun had the protection of Ming Yue and was even more powerful here. When they thought about it, among the three of them, in this place, Chen Feng would be the weakest! Such a circumstance that had appeared due to the unique environment here was something they couldn't do anything about.

Chen Feng's gaze was resolute. "We will still be going."

The death lion gene reagent was something he had to obtain. All this while, he had faced way too many dangers. How could a mere Nether Capital force him to stop?

Shen Wei stepped forth. "Let me protect him."

Shua!

Her flame started surging.

A trace of a unique power was contained in the faint glimmer of the flame summoned by Shen Wei. This was the power of justice unique to Shen Wei, a mysterious power originating from a different world.

Hum—

The flame intensified and dispersed all the corrosive energy around them.

"If we are only going to step into the 5% explored by the seniors before us, there shouldn't be any problems, since we have the map provided by the Genetic Union. We should be able to find those death lions there as well," Chen Feng analyzed.

Wang Chun urged him on. "If there's no problems, let's depart quickly, then." He couldn't continue this way. He was truly going crazy.

"All right."

Chen Feng glanced at Ming Yue before they set off with Nether Capital as their destination.

Shua!

Their figures stepped into the sinister smog noiselessly. Chen Feng and the rest had solemn expressions on their faces. The only exception was Ming Yue as she spread her arms, an obviously comfortable expression on her face as she stepped into the smog.

This feeling… how familiar…

Chapter 289: The Forbidden Skill of Immortality

Translator: Limostn Editor: Tennesh

Nether Capital. This was a mysterious place. With Shen Wei's protection, they were able to easily enter the Nether Capital. The air filled with corrosive energy was kept away from them by Shen Wei's aura.

The smog seemed to cover everything. Chen Feng cautiously traveled forth in accordance to his map. This was the map sketched by the Genetic Union when they had first come here. Only 5% of this area was shown on the map. They pressed forth cautiously as their progress increased.

One percent...

Two percent...

Finally, they stopped when they had explored 4.8% of the area.

Chen Feng's heart leaped furiously. "Something doesn't seem right."

That was because, up till now, they had yet to see a single mutated beast. This was the most terrifying aspect of their current exploration. Where were the mutated beasts he had encountered when he'd first come here several days before? Where were the two B-class mutated beasts from before? Where were the promised death lions?

No mutated beasts could be found even when they were reaching the limit of the 5% explored area.

Shua!

They continued traveling until, finally, all the 5% area had been explored by them. Here, they finally found out the reason the Genetic Union had stopped their exploration at this point in the past.

That was because the dividing line for the region outside the explored 5% was a city. Before their eyes, amidst the boundless smog, was a genuine city.

Nether Capital…

Chen Feng sunk into a solemn mood.

Indeed…

Although where they were currently at was also called the Nether Capital, they were actually at the outer layer of the actual city called the Nether Capital. Only now had they reached the actual city.

Nether Capital, the ghost town in the legends.

Hum—

A sinister aura started spreading.

This city in front of them started giving them a terrifying feeling that caused their backs to chill.

Chen Feng decided without hesitation. "Retreat!"

He was extremely clear on his target and risk appetite. He had initially believed that hunting for death lions would be a low-risk endeavor. That was the only reason he had decided to come with some of his friends. But now that the degree of danger here had far surpassed his imagination, there was no need for him to take extra risks. The most proper way for him to go about accomplishing his goal was to return and hire some formidable A-class experts. As far as he was concerned, the danger of being betrayed by any unknown A-class experts he hired was already surpassed by the danger this Nether Capital could potentially pose them.

Shua!

They retreated rapidly. However, right at this moment, a terrifying explosion resounded.

Bang!

Distantly, a loud explosion could be heard. Due to the thick smog, they could not see what was happening. However, a certain dim radiance that they could see amidst the thick smog had seemingly been stepped on and killed. Everyone could clearly see a huge footprint with a size of 100 square meters left on the ground. A certain terrifying and gigantic life form seemed to have stepped there.

Bang!

Bang!

Accompanied by thundering sounds, footprints started appearing on the ground, seemingly traveling in their direction.

They could not see anything. However, the huge footprints left on the ground with a dim glow could still be seen…

Enemy attack! Toward their direction!

They gulped. "Damn it."

They had obviously explored all of the 5% area indicated in their map and no mutated beasts had been found. What was this thing that had suddenly appeared here?

Wang Chun looked at the beautiful young lady beside him. "Shen Yi."

Hum—

Shen Yi's eyes started glowing.

Shua!

The smog covering everything seemed to vanish at this instant. At this moment, everyone could clearly see that the life form leaving the gigantic footprints on the ground was a huge skeleton with a height of several tens of meters.

Everyone inhaled a mouthful of cold air. "Hiss—"

It was actually a gigantic skeleton beast.

Wang Chun saw a familiar-looking thing. "Look at his body!"

Death lion!

Chen Feng's heart leaped.

That huge skeleton seemed to be something formed of countless sets of bones. On its body were countless corpses with no flesh remaining.

No wonder they hadn't seen any mutated beasts… All of them had been killed by this damnable skeleton here!

Shua!

Shen Yi's body swayed, and the smog surged forth, covering everything once again.

Shen Yi felt somewhat regretful. "That's the most we can see."

Bang!

Bang!

The loud sound of footsteps could still be heard. Amidst the smog that covered everything, those footprints with a faint glow could be clearly seen. The footprints were nearing them. Despite the huge distance between them and the gigantic skeleton, they were still able to guess the strength of that beast.

A class! To be accurate, its strength was at least A class!

A huge skeleton beast formed through countless corpses of B-class mutated beasts was not something they could contend against.

Bang!

The huge footprints continued nearing them.

They exchanged glances and decided that the only thing they could do was turn around and travel in a different direction, stepping into the city enveloped by smog. However, they did not travel too far into the city. Rather, they lingered around the entrance.

Bang!

Bang!

They watched on as that huge mutated beast neared them. However, right as the beast neared the city, it started hesitating. After a while, shocking all of them, it turned around and left.

"It left," Wang Chun muttered. No trace of joy could be heard from his voice, though.

Capable of scaring away such a beast, this place…

Chen Feng intended to leave here as fast as he could. "Let's go."

However.

Clang!

Accompanied by a loud sound, the entrance closed, sealing the Nether Capital.

Wang Chun's eyes gleamed coldly. "We can't leave anymore."

Seems like somebody wants us to be in here… Chen Feng thought knowingly.

The death of the death lions, the appearance of the gigantic skeleton beast, the closure of the city's entrance… all of this seemed to signify that there were indeed some life forms in this city. Somewhere here was definitely an intelligent life form. However, they had no idea what the intention of this life form was.

"Be extra careful," Chen Feng said.

Wang Chun and Xu Fei nodded. "Understood."

The Shen Wei siblings were highly vigilant as well. Only Lady Ming Yue was behaving differently, as if she was taking a casual stroll here.

Chen Feng scanned past the structures inside the city. "These constructions…"

An ancient gate built with a simple architecture. The streets, the tavern, everything in this city seemed ancient.

The destruction of this city should have taken place several hundred years ago. Only that could explain the architecture here in this city that still preserved the style of ancient times, free of any traces of the genetic era.

At the entrance were numerous carts lacking the horses that were supposed to be pulling them. Chen Feng stepped forth and rubbed one of them. His expected scene of these carts crumbling apart into ashes did not appear. This did not seem in line with what should have happened with the passage of time. Not only that, these carts were all still in good condition, retaining the simplicity of the ancient era's design. This did not only apply to these carts. Everything in this city that Chen Feng could see was still in good condition.

This was simply unlike a city that had been abandoned for several centuries. Everything in this city seemed to have been fixed in time since the incident where everyone here died.

"There's some death aura," Shen Yi said suddenly.

Chen Feng looked at her. "What?"

"Death aura, a unique aura that also exists in my world. I don't know what it is called here in this world. It's also something that is quite difficult to describe… It's a power capable of reviving the dead," Shen Yi said.

Could it be…

Chen Feng and Xu Fei exchanged glances. The necromancy mentioned in the legends? As the genetic era had descended, as the people's strength had increased, a lot of researches of eternal life had started cropping up. All sorts of gene fusions and peculiar genetic abilities had appeared due to that…

Among these abilities, necromancy was one of them, also the one rumored to be most likely to help one achieve immortality.

This was an ability formed from the combination of several powerful genetic abilities that had zero combat power. The people that chose this path were destined to have no combat power. Only when they reached the peak of their chosen path would they be able to fuse all their chosen genetic abilities to create a superpowerful secret art known as necromancy!

This was an ability capable of preserving everything in its original appearance, such as a human's appearance, their bodily functions, and even the appearance of matter itself.

For unknown reasons, the research on necromancy had suddenly been announced as a failure one day. Everyone in the research laboratory had been killed and their research materials had vanished. From then on, necromancy had become something that only existed in legends.

Here, as Chen Feng looked at everything in this city that still had its original appearance, shock flickered in his eyes. Could it be that the legendary power of necromancy had actually been successfully researched?

Shua!

They exchanged glances, disbelief apparent in their eyes.

If that was the case… something major was probably going to happen!

Just as they were in the midst of bewilderment, abruptly, faint footsteps could be heard. Their expressions changed greatly and they were immediately on full alert as their killing intent surged.

Creak—

The door of a building beside them opened suddenly.

A young man with the appearance of a 20-year-old walked out of the building and looked at Chen Feng's group with amazement. "Yo, dear customers, you are all quite early, ay? From how you all are dressed, you are all probably from the Western Regions?"

What?

Chen Feng blanked.

At this moment, accompanied by numerous footsteps, countless people appeared and flooded this city. They started going about their daily life.

Market… butcher… tavern… the whole city had seemingly come alive at this instant.

What they witnessed was a bustling city. The ghost town they had seen earlier felt like a dream. Here, as they stared at this city that had come alive, their bodies chilled. What on earth was happening in this city, this so-called Nether Capital?

Chapter 290: Safe Haven

Translator: Limostn Editor: Tennesh

The tavern waiter appeared excited. "Haha, dear customers, you are all too early. From how you are all dressed, you all aren't locals, right?"

"Yeah." Chen Feng nodded as he feigned a casual expression on his face before asking, "It seems like I wasn't able to see anyone in this city earlier?"

"Sigh, it's the night curfew." The waiter curled his lips. "Apparently there were some escaped convicts. The authorities are still on the hunt for them."

"Oh." Chen Feng put on the expression of someone who had learned something new, pretending to accept this explanation.

"Please be seated."

The waiter arranged a table for Chen Feng's group. After taking their orders and some idle chat, the waiter left, leaving Chen Feng's group that was exchanging glances with each other behind.

Regardless of this tavern or this whole city, everything here was too bizarre!

Chen Feng looked at Shen Yi. "Is this an illusion?"

"Nope." Shen Yi's eyes were glowing. She could easily see through all illusions. Everything here seemed incomparably real and did not appear like an illusion at all. Everything they were witnessing was real! The whole city and the residents here were real!

"Perhaps this is an independent place that exists beyond the influence of the outside world?" Wang Chun said with astonishment. In this world, such a place truly existed?

Perhaps due to the chaos and disorder back then, these people had escaped and come here. Subsequently, they had gotten some super expert to set up some array to cut off all contact with the outside world and create such a safe haven here? This was possible, right?

But then… several centuries had passed. This place shouldn't have maintained its original appearance from back then, right? There was also the death aura that Shen Yi had mentioned previously…

This whole city seemed to be enveloped in mystery.

"Let's take a stroll around," Chen Feng proposed.

"All right," everyone agreed.

They left the tavern and walked toward the street. The streets that had appeared lifeless now had a flourishing appearance. At this instant, they almost felt like they had returned to ancient times.

Everywhere, there were people buying and selling, some of them haggling over the price, while some started fighting due to disagreement…

The whole city appeared alive.

"All this is real." Shen Yi was certain.

Everyone else nodded. None of this was fake.

"Let's try interacting more with the people here," Chen Feng suggested.

"All right."

They tried interacting with the people here.

If everything here was truly fake or a setup, it would be impossible for the interactions between these residents and Chen Feng's group to hide it flawlessly. However, when they tried interacting with the people here, no problems could be found.

This was not some setup by an artificial intelligence. All of this was real. It reached a point where, after they asked a bunch of nonsensical questions, they were reported to the authorities. Next, the authorities dispatched someone over to arrest them. They were only able to go free thanks to Xu Fei.

"Nice to meet you, Great Master."

These people here appeared rather respectful of the bald Xu Fei and the faint traces of scars on his head that resembled a monk. That was not all; there were some who took the initiative to look for Xu Fei, hoping that he would help them with their eye-opening ceremony 1 .

"Everything here is real."

Even Shen Wei ultimately believed that everything here was real. This was because she had earlier gotten into a fight and the injury that she had received was real.

If all this had been fake, the only method of implementing it to such perfection was to use illusions. However, the existence of an illusion capable of fooling all of them, including the Shen Yi from a different world, was impossible. Chen Feng had even used his Luck Aura to confirm that this was not an illusion.

This was the Nether Capital, the actual Nether Capital concealed within the thick smog surrounding it.

No one had ever expected that hidden within this thick smog was an independent city that still retained its looks from ancient times.

"These people have been staying here for several centuries?" Chen Feng contemplated.

Suddenly, he looked toward the end of the street. Some merchants on their carts were trying to leave the city. However, they were stopped by the soldiers stationed there.

"Nobody is allowed to leave?" Chen Feng asked a passerby near him.

The person shook his head as he explained, "Not for a few days. These few days, there were some escaped convicts. The authority is hunting for them. As such, only entry into the city is permitted. Moreover, a night curfew has also been implemented."

Chen Feng contemplated, "If so, all these people will be allowed to leave on normal days?"

"Naturally," the person answered with an odd expression.

"Many thanks."

They bid the people there farewell before leaving, their brains working overtime. So the people here were allowed to leave the city normally? But out there was a huge skeleton beast! Besides that…what was the point of leaving and going out there where everything was dead?

"That huge skeleton beast seems to be something that only appeared recently…" Wang Chun said suddenly. "The death lions only started disappearing recently as well. That is the only reason we actually got into this city. Under normal circumstances, there simply would have been no need for us to venture into the smog to reach this city. As for the merchants that are allowed to leave this city on other days… is it possible that more than one city exists here?" Wang Chun finished with a solemn expression.

"You mean…"

Everyone's heart throbbed furiously. More than one city? In other words, a second or even a third city might exist here! As for those merchants, they were in charge of the commercial trade between these cities to ensure the smooth operation of these cities. Apart from that, those merchants might be the true guardians of this place.

"If this is something put in place by some super expert back then… it is possible that they left behind descendants that will also be in charge of maintaining the hermit nature of the cities around here," Wang Chun stated calmly.

Everyone sank into contemplation.

If this was the truth, then everything would be explainable.

A few hundred years ago, a calamity had befallen the Nether Capital. Next, an expert had appeared and established this independently existing series of cities as safe havens. An array had been set up to stop outsiders from coming here and the power of necromancy had been used to preserve everything here in good condition. On top of that, the truth had been concealed from the residents here to allow them to maintain their simple lifestyles.

The descendants of that expert had continued guarding this place in the dark. Only until recently, though, due to the appearance of that huge skeleton beast. "Hunting escaped convicts" was being used as an excuse to place a temporary lockdown on the Nether Capital.

"If that is the case… we only need to wait for the huge skeleton beast to disappear, and all will be fine."

Xu Fei's eyes shone. Their mission was only to capture a single death lion. As long as the giant skeleton beast disappeared and everything went back to how it had been, there would no longer be any problems.

Their mission did not seem to conflict with the intention of this city's establishment. As for what had happened here in the past? They had no interest in finding out.

Anything pertaining to the setup of an eternally existing array would touch on a subject of research that was forbidden. With their present strength, if they were to get involved in such things, it was very probable they would die horribly.

Since the Nether Capital was on lockdown and they had no way of leaving, they could only settle down and wait quietly.

However, due to Xu Fei's identity as a "senior monk" in the eyes of the residents here, they enjoyed free food and drinks from the residents. The only thing the residents here would ask in return was that Xu Fei assist with some eye-opening ceremonies.

Soon, night arrived. The whole city recovered its dead atmosphere. It was scarily silent.

Chen Feng's group was feeling extremely stifled in their windowless room in the tavern. As such, they decided to take a stroll through the streets. There was nobody out at night anyway. As for the so-called escaped convicts… none of them could be seen.

"The night curfew was probably implemented due to the smog here being too thick at night. It might end up hurting the residents here. As such, the guardians of this place created some random excuse to implement the curfew. However, the smog here has no effect on us," Shen Wei said.

"Mhm."

Everyone nodded. Since that was the case, they might as well start training out here. Their plan was quite simple. When everything returned to how it had been, they would proceed to hunt a death lion before leaving in secret. This would not affect the stability of this place.

The night passed quietly.

The sky brightened gradually, and the city started coming alive again. Chen Feng's group proceeded to return to the tavern. At the entrance, the waiter that was coming out of the tavern looked at them in astonishment and said, "Yo, dear customers, you are all quite early, ay? From how you all are dressed, you are all probably from the Western Regions?"

???

As Chen Feng's group looked at the waiter's expression, which did not seem to recognize them, their bodies chilled.

This place…
