Super Gene Hunting Ground

Chapter 1077 - 1071: Farewell

Xiao He, Liang Bao, Fan Chen, Wang Qian, Gong Yu, Cui Yuan and others left Flying Leopard Academy together and went to the capital city of the Flying Leopard Empire.

After the lively hunting season and graduation season, the entire campus of the Flying Leopard Academy returned to tranquility.

The academy's combat power ranking started a new round of competition,

but the combat power ranking doesn't consider weapons, it purely measures genetic evolution combat power. Yang Xiao is now only at the Empire Level Primary Level, and even though his Beast Soul Combat Power is strong, without using the Divine Weapon, he can barely reach the Empire Middle Level Realm's combat power, so he is not yet on the combat power ranking.

Yang Xiao's life settled into peace. Now in the Advanced Academy Department, he follows Master Lei to cultivate various cultivation techniques and skills daily, constantly enhancing his genetic evolution abilities, and continually expanding the space for genetic evolution.

Every evening, Yang Xiao still goes to the library to chat with Elder Ye, practice spiritual power techniques, and the Life and Death Iteration Law,

and at night, he would run to Xiao Ling's room to sleep.

Last time, during the hunting competition, Yang Xiao hunted down several demon beasts. The corpses of these demon beasts were refined in a black bottle, turning them into a liquid.

Yang Xiao knew that these liquids were very beneficial for improving his body's genes, so he drank a cup every day. Unfortunately, after the black mysterious bottle poured out a dozen cups of milky white liquid, there was no more.

Time passed quickly, and half a year went by in the blink of an eye.

In the small courtyard behind the library, Elder Ye half-lay on the sofa while Xiao Ling stood beside him. Both watched Yang Xiao.

Yang Xiao stood under a large tree, his eyes slightly closed, operating his divine sense, and the surrounding space began to ripple slightly.

Hundreds of leaves on the ground suddenly seemed to have eyes, standing upright and slowly rising into the air.

Yang Xiao opened his eyes, his divine sense surged, and with a "whoosh," hundreds of leaves gathered together, forming a dragon several meters long.

This leaf dragon, under Yang Xiao's control, flew in the air, performing various movements,

Xiao Ling took a closer look and found that each leaf was like a flying knife, tearing through the void with a strong killing aura.

"Hi!"

Yang Xiao suddenly shouted, forcefully pushing his hands in the air, directing the leaf dragon towards the thick tree trunk.

"Sss, sss, sss....."

A series of dense piercing sounds erupted as hundreds of leaves all lodged into the thick tree trunk, each leaf revealing only about one-third of its blade, with the remaining two-thirds deeply embedded in the tree trunk.

"Bravo!"

Xiao Ling cheered loudly, clapping her hands.

Elder Ye glanced at Xiao Ling and said lightly:

"Look how happy you are."

Xiao Ling lifted her head proudly and said:

"Can I not be proud of him?"

Elder Ye was speechless.

Yang Xiao retracted his spiritual power technique and walked over with a smile, saying:

"Elder Ye, am I good?"

Elder Ye laid back on the recliner and casually said:

"Your little girlfriend is ecstatic; how can I say you're not good?"

Actually, Elder Ye was quite surprised; that Yang Xiao could cultivate his spiritual power to such an extent in a short time was already very commendable.

"Elder Ye, can I leave Flying Leopard Academy now?"

"Indeed, your spiritual power has achieved a small success, and you've also cultivated the Life and Death Iteration Law to the tenth level. Your Gene Evolution Level has broken through to the Empire Middle Level Realm. Adding your special Beast Soul and Two-star Divine Weapon, there's not much to gain by staying at Flying Leopard Academy anymore. Go out and train."

In the past six months, aside from eating and sleeping, Yang Xiao spent most of his time cultivating genetic evolution ability. He finally broke through to the Empire Middle Level Realm, which was an achievement.

Having stayed at Flying Leopard Academy for nearly two years, when it was suddenly time to leave, he felt a bit reluctant.

Especially Xiao Ling, her expression suddenly changed, looking dejected and silent.

The fact that Yang Xiao would leave the Flying Leopard Academy was something Xiao Ling knew about half a year ago. At that time, she thought there was still a long time, but in the blink of an eye, half a year had passed.

Throughout the past six months, Xiao Ling treasured every day she spent with Yang Xiao, and now faced with the sudden separation, she felt very sad.

Elder Ye glanced at Xiao Ling and closed his eyes to rest.

As an elder nearing two hundred years old, accustomed to the joys and sorrows of the world, he had long become indifferent.

Yang Xiao led Xiao Ling out of the library, holding her hand all the way.

Most people in the academy were familiar with Yang Xiao and Xiao Ling as the teacher-student couple, often seen holding hands and expressing their love in public, and it had become a usual sight.

"Yang Xiao, I want to resign from being an academy tutor and follow you."

"No, we've discussed this before. I'm facing many tasks that you shouldn't be involved in right now, and besides, Bing'er still needs your care,

it's safest and most reassuring for me if you stay at Flying Leopard Academy without following me through the uncertainties and life and death risks."

"But I really miss you and want to go with you!"

Xiao Ling's eyes moistened.

Yang Xiao wrapped his arm around Xiao Ling's slim waist, speaking emotionally:

"I promise you, after I've dealt with everything, I'll come back for you, without fail."

Xiao Ling herself knew, even though her Gene Evolution Level was also at Empire Middle Level, her combat power couldn't compare to Yang Xiao's, and being with him would inevitably burden him.

Having spent much time with Yang Xiao, Xiao Ling gradually understood that Yang Xiao harbored a certain firm determination, as if he had some mysterious mission to complete.

Yang Xiao never mentioned it, and she never asked.

In the following days, apart from taking classes and leading newcomers, Xiao Ling spent nearly all of her time with Yang Xiao.

Every evening, the two would dine with Bing'er.

Bing'er had grown a year older and was now a dainty nine-year-old girl.

"Uncle, when will you come back?"

"Once Uncle finishes his business, I'll naturally come back for you and Sister Ling. While I'm away, Sister Ling will take care of you, so listen to her closely."

"Uncle, don't worry, Bing'er will be good. I hope Uncle can finish his business soon and return safely."

"What a good girl Bing'er is!"

Yang Xiao tenderly patted Bing'er's head.

"Uncle promises, later I'll take you back to Dragon City in the Great Dragon Empire to pay respects to Grandpa and Aunt Caixia in the Poverty Cave."

"Okay!"

Bing'er nodded firmly, her deep and bright eyes looking at Yang Xiao with infinite trust and affection.

Though Bing'er was only nine, her unique childhood experience made her very sensible. She knew that not even Xiao Ling could retain Yang Xiao, so she certainly couldn't either.

The only thing she could do was be obedient and not worry Yang Xiao.

...

Yang Xiao formally submitted a request to Xinghai, the headmaster, to leave the academy.

Xinghai was slightly taken aback, looking at Yang Xiao.

"You've made up your mind?"

"Yes, I've made up my mind. Thank you for the care and help you've given me these past two years."

Xinghai smiled slightly and said:

"Yang Xiao, no matter what you plan to do after leaving the academy, I have only one piece of advice: with your genetic evolution talent, your future is bright, and you can achieve great things. I hope you don't get caught up in personal grievances."

Yang Xiao: "..."
