Super Gene Ⅱ: Evolution

Not only Lin Shen and Tian Xin were paying attention to the happenings at Tianjing Mountain, but in fact, this matter had already become a hot topic among the various races of the universe.

No one believed that the human could win, but they were all very curious about whether Di Esi would actually enter the fray.

Theoretically speaking, Di Esi shouldn't fight, as for such an unknown challenger, if Di Esi had to respond to every challenge, then he would have no time for anything else.

Who knows how many people from small races dream of sky-rocketing to success in one step. If they started down this path, there would surely be many more who would follow this tactic in the future.

The greatest likelihood was that the Supreme Clan would send someone to handle the human with thunderous methods and prevent such incidents from happening again.

As such occurrences had never happened before, the various races of the universe were all secretly watching, wanting to know how the Supreme Clan would deal with this matter.

While the various races were speculating, a figure flew out from Chonggao Star and headed towards Tianjing Mountain.

"Di Esi... Di Esi actually went..." The onlookers outside Tianjing Mountain were both shocked and delighted when they saw that figure.

Lin Shen also heard the live broadcasters shouting and knew that the person was Di Esi, which made him even more worried.

Upon closely observing Di Esi, Lin Shen had to admit that even in terms of appearance, his fourth brother might not necessarily win.

Di Esi was like the divine child from the myths, and although he didn't have things like Holy Light around him, his unique temperament set him apart from ordinary people.

You might not remember his facial features and appearance, but as long as he stood there, you would know it was him and would not confuse him with anyone else.

Peerless and isolated, as if he did not belong to this mundane world.

Although Lin Xiangdong was also very handsome, his temperament fell far short in comparison, making him seem just like an ordinary man.

Do you wish to duel me?" Di Esi landed on the summit of Tianjing Mountain and asked Lin Xiangdong.

"It is my lifelong wish," Lin Xiangdong replied resolutely.

"State your name," Di Esi said gently.

"Undefeated King," Lin Xiangdong's vulgarity was exasperating, yet even in front of Di Esi, he remained true to his nature.

So arrogant! It was just too arrogant!

Di Esi had inquired about his name, and instead of providing it, Lin Xiangdong had come up with the title Undefeated King.

A mere human Ascender dared to call himself a king and claim to be unbeatable.

Not to mention Di Esi, many other races already felt the urge to go and give Lin Xiangdong a thrashing themselves.

Di Esi, however, didn't take offense and nodded with a smile, "Good name."

"I also think this name is excellent," Lin Xiangdong seemed to have no concept of modesty, gesturing with his hand, and a petal of pear blossoms formed at his fingertips.

"My Life Base is called Falling Blossom, conceived from feeling the falling blossoms of the ancient city," Lin Xiangdong stood with his hands behind his back, truly exuding a few shades of a pretentious literary youth.

"What a poser!" Tian Xin watched the footage and couldn't help but mutter a curse under her breath.

Di Esi was momentarily taken aback, then his face showed a hint of amusement as he pointed a finger, and at his fingertip also materialized something— it was a speck of dust.

"My Life Base is called Dust, just a speck of the universe."

"A speck of dust can contain a myriad of worlds, and only such a Life Base is worthy to face my Falling Blossom." Lin Xiangdong flicked his finger, and the petal at his fingertip drifted gently towards Di Esi: "This move is called Ancient City Falling Blossom, please enlighten me."

As his voice fell, that single petal suddenly turned into a violent snowstorm, with countless petals falling between heaven and earth, enveloping the entirety of Tianjing Mountain within them.

The vast momentum, to the astonishment of many Other Races who had previously looked down upon Lin Xiangdong, made them feel a bit shocked.

What was even more incredible was the blizzard-like flow of petals, which surged like a waterfall and ravaged like a flood, stacking layer upon layer of impact that somehow interwove into a gorgeous and mysterious Petal Ancient City, suppressing Di Esi within it.

Lin Shen stared blankly at the Petal Ancient City, involuntarily recalling the scenes from his childhood when he had wandered the ancient city and admired the flowers with his elder brothers and sisters.

This city, forged from the cohesion of petals, seemed very similar to the ancient city from his memories.

However, the next moment, the Petal Ancient City abruptly shattered, instantly turning into a sky full of ascending petals, like a reverse rain of petals falling towards the sky.

Amidst the shattered, ascending rain of petals, Di Esi stood unharmed at the original spot, his fingertips shining with the Dust Life Base as bright as stars.

"This move is called 'Dust Settles,' please enlighten me," Di Esi flicked his fingertip. The Dust Life Base, as dazzling as stars, shot like a meteor toward Lin Xiangdong, trailing a brilliant stardust tail through the layers of petals.

The onlookers all widened their eyes, anticipating the result of Di Esi's strike.

Bang!

The Dust fell upon Lin Xiangdong's body, instantly shattering it into a sky full of splattering petals.

"Sorry about that, I suddenly have a stomachache, let's fight another day." While everyone was stunned, Lin Xiangdong's figure appeared on the other side, directly transforming into a streak of light, and under the cover of the blizzard-like petals, fled towards the distant starry sky, quickly becoming a small point of light among the stars.

"What the... How can this guy be so shameless..."

"What Undefeated King... More like a King of Shamelessness, right...?"

"As long as I run fast enough, no one can defeat me, so that's the kind of Undefeated King he is!"

All clans were in an uproar, this wasn't what you'd call a challenge at all, it was just showing off before running away.

Di Esi stared blankly in the direction where Lin Xiangdong had vanished, seemingly not angry, but instead, a playful smile appeared on his lips, "Undefeated King, interesting."

Lin Shen was also utterly baffled, unsure of what his fourth brother was up to, having fled after just one move.

However, he could see that Di Esi seemed to easily break through his fourth brother's full-strength attack, and had he not run, the end result would only have been a loss.

"It's better that he ran." Lin Shen secretly breathed a sigh of relief in his heart.

"You humans truly are a talented bunch," Tian Xin said with a sidelong glance at Lin Shen, using the phrase to indirectly criticize, "Are all humans as shameless as he is?"

"At least he had the courage to challenge Di Esi, do you dare?" Lin Shen said with a smile.

"Hmph, you call that a challenge? It seems that the Celestials and you humans define challenge differently, just like we have different definitions of morality. Our Celestial moral standards and the definition of a challenge are not as low as yours," Tian Xin mocked.

Lin Shen, unconcerned with Tian Xin's ridicule, casually wiped his mouth and left the dining hall.

He was clueless as to why his fourth brother chose to challenge Di Esi, but this battle showed him how terrifying a top-tier Ascender could be. In comparison to Di Esi, even Ninth Turn practitioner Cosimo was merely dross.

"If I ascend, what will my Life Base be?" Lin Shen suddenly became worried about his own Life Base.

Theoretically, the Life Base is the product of the combination of the Evolution Skill and the Ascension Egg, with both having a key influence on the formation of the Life Base.

Yet Lin Shen's practiced Evolution Skill was a flawed version of Evolution Theory; even he was unclear what Life Base it could possibly form.

The Ascension Egg he used was also a Primeval Egg of unknown origin. The Life Base that would emerge was purely a spin of the wheel of fortune; whatever it landed on, it would be.

"Luckily I can forge two Life Bases. Even if my luck is average, there should be one that suits me," Lin Shen thought to himself.
