Legend of the Mythological Genes

Chapter 229: Points Seizing Competition

Translator: Lordbluefire Editor: Lordbluefire

One small-scale queen, 30 guard-types aberrations, 60 prowler-types aberrations...

The corpses of aberrations piled on the ground, akin to a small mountain. Their blood dyed the surroundings red as the strong acidity in their blood caused many holes on the ground. There was almost no space on the ground for them to stand on.

Feng Lin’s group of three gathered here and started to count the corpses. In total, they received 46,780 points.

This was an astronomical amount that far surpassed what they would gain if they hunted alone.

As expected, the more audacious someone was, the more fortune they would gain.

After completely killing the aberrations inside the mother nest, they occupied the entire mountain while ignoring the few aberrations that were lucky enough to flee.

A night of effort generated great returns for them.

This amount of points far exceeded one’s imaginations. No matter how calm Feng Lin and the other two were, they all felt a sense of suddenly becoming rich overnight.

After slicing the thumbs of all the aberrations, they placed and stacked them up. All of these were valuable trophies for the winners.

Next, the problem was how they should split this.

The three of them fell silent.

Feng Lin wasn’t in a hurry to split the loot. He silently surveyed the two sisters as a look of pondering flashed in his eyes.

Even for blood brothers, accounting of their respective property had to be done carefully.

The fairest way to split the loot would be to set the criteria on the amount of effort each of them had put in instead of splitting them equally into three parts. If they split it equally, this would already have lost the principle of fairness.

He intentionally didn’t say anything because he wanted to see clearly what the personalities of the two sisters were. If their personalities were not up to his standards, there would no longer be a need for him to cooperate with them in the future.

Earlier, when they had been in danger, the words spoken by the sisters had all been heard by Feng Lin. In any case, they were just strangers. Before a certain death situation, it made sense for them to flee. Although he could understand their choice in fleeing, it was still tough for him to accept it.

But the two of them truly did help Feng Lin a lot. Feng Lin decided to give them one more chance and see what they planned to do next.

If they wanted to split the loot fairly despite the fact that their contribution wasn’t as great as his, he knew what his decision would be.

They could scram as far as they could.

Feng Lin coldly looked at the side, waiting for the two sisters to make the choice.

“Let’s split these equally...” Staring at the trophies on the ground, Aris’s eyes glowed brightly as she spoke.

“No.” Yana calmly rejected. “We will split the loot into 5 portions, 3 portions, and 2 portions out of every 10. Feng Lin will take 5, Aris will take 3, while I will take 2.”

“What? Why?” Aris was clearly unhappy. “The three of us have all put in effort. Why can’t we split this equally?”

“We can’t split it like that.” Yana shook her head. “The capable ones should get more. If we split this equally, it would be too unfair to Feng Lin. This time around, the majority of aberrations in the nest were killed by Feng Lin. Hence, he ought to gain half of the loot. If it wasn’t for him breaking the ceiling and allowing the bitter chill from the night to seep in, it would be impossible to cause so many casualties in the mother nest which even led to the death of the aberration queen. The two of us only covered him by fighting outside the deepest layer; our efforts cannot be compared to his. I came up with the plan, but because my combat strength isn’t high enough, I’ll only get 20% of the loot. And in order to protect me, Aris you didn’t really put too much effort in slaughtering the aberrations. Hence, you should only get 30%.”

Yana calmly spoke in a just manner.

This rationality showed that she was truly wise. And it wasn’t simply only her intelligence that was high.

Her attitude was fair and just. This was the correct method to maintain a fragile alliance.

Feng Lin silently nodded. He had a much better impression of Yana.

Although her combat prowess wasn’t high, her abilities had to do with the mental and spiritual aspects. Moreover, she had both wisdom and intelligence, allowing her to come out with several strategies. She truly proved to be a great help.

Seeing her elder sis Yana say this, Aris didn’t say anything despite feeling reluctance in her heart.

Next, was the division of spoils.

Yana took out a golden bottle with ancient greek patterns on it. She turned the opening of the bottle toward the trophies and a moment later, the pile belonging to her and her sister was absorbed into it as they vanished from sight.

The bottle was actually an interspatial equipment.

Aris stared at Feng Lin as she snorted.

Feng Lin’s share was 50% of the spoils; thus, the number of thumbs were so many that they stacked up like a small mountain. It was basically impossible for one man to carry so many with him.

So what if he got more of the loot? He wouldn’t be able to bring them away!

(Only our astrology bottle can do that!)

(In the end, you will still need our help, and I will definitely extort him later on.)

Aris gave a sneaky laugh, wanting to see Feng Lin beg them for their help. She was like a weasel that had successfully stolen a chicken.

Feng Lin shook his head. Truly, this Aris fit the chinese idiom ‘big chest no brains’. Her killer twin peaks were lethal weapons, but all her thoughts were so transparent on her face. It was way too easy to read her.

At this moment, Yana spoke with the intention to help in her heart, “You won’t be able to bring away these trophies. We have an interspatial equipment with us, do you need our help?”

Interspatial equipment?

Feng Lin glanced at the golden bottle in her hand as he contemplated. That seemed to be a very wondrous mythological equipment.

He felt some sense of familiarity when he glanced at it. But at the next moment, his heart stirred. Didn’t he have something like this too?

“No need.” Feng Lin smiled, tactfully rejecting Yana’s help.

(You don’t know what’s good for you!)

Aris furrowed her brows as she coldly glanced over.

(My sister wants to help you because she is kind, yet you didn’t know what’s good for you and refused her help. Fine then, I want to see what you’ll do!)

(Interspatial equipments are extremely rare, how can they be something you have...?)

She coldly snorted but at the next moment, her eyes widened in shock.

Feng Lin’s right hand waved as a giant absorption force generated from his right palm, forming a vortex of absorption.

The power of absorption was about 10 times stronger compared to their golden bottle’s, and the remaining trophies on the ground all flew into the vortex, vanishing from sight.

A silhouette of a furnace flashed on Feng Lin’s palm, appearing incredibly realistic.

The greek sisters stared at each other in shock. After that, their eyes flashed with curiosity and bewilderment as they glanced at Feng Lin. They felt as though he was covered in layers of mysteries; they weren’t able to see him clearly.

Earlier, that absorption force seemed to belong to an interspatial equipment that had a higher grade compared to their astrology bottle. One must know that this golden bottle was something their irresponsible father had left behind for them. It could be considered a mythological treasure that was extremely rare in the solar system.

Firstly, this Feng Lin had a magical cudgel and next, he even had a mythical spatial treasure?

From the information they had on him, he was merely a low-grade clansman of the Feng Clan on Earth. How could he have so many treasures?

This truly caused them to be bewildered.

Could it be that his true background was the Ancestral Feng Clan?

...

Many thoughts flashed in the hearts of the two sisters.

(You guys are thinking too much!)

Feng Lin laughed but didn’t try to explain.

His interspatial treasure was none other than the pill concoction furnace he had obtained from the remnants of the Furnace Immortal Sect on Mars.

Because he had no way to practice alchemy yet, he had always neglected this treasure. It was only until he saw the two girls using an interspatial equipment did he remember about it.

Although the pill concoction furnace was temporarily useless to him, it had its own internal space and could be used as an interspatial equipment.

Before this, he had been using his foldable flying shuttle to store items; however, that was too conspicuous.

This pill concoction furnace had completely fused with him. Thus, it was much more convenient to use.

Now that he had found out another function of his treasure, Feng Lin silently mused that this trip to the Asura Planet truly wasn’t a wasted one indeed.

He had many returns from this trip.

Other than the trophies, he also gained many gene hypophysis of the aberrations.

All of these were precious materials that could only be harvested from aberrations. They were able to replenish one’s nutrients and strength.

Among them, the most precious one would be a gene hypophysis with the size of a human head. It was harvested from none other than the small-scale queen.

The aberration queen could be compared to an elite cultivator and barely considered a transcendent creature. Hence, the gene hypophysis from her was naturally extremely valuable.

Feng Lin naturally didn’t hesitate and took it for himself.

At this moment, dawn on Asura Planet had arrived. The rising sun radiated its rays of warmth, cascading down on everything. The temperature soon rose to over 50 degrees, and the heat started to get unbearable.

After Feng Lin’s group scoured the mother nest, they also found their resting places and took a break respectively. Each of them consumed one gene hypophysis to recover the stamina they had expended.

Genetic potential +48%, +48%, +48%... surging up a total of 240%.

They took a total of two hours and recuperated well, back to their optimal states. After that, they started to hunt more aberrations again.

The timeline for the second round was very tight. They only had 10 days worth of time, yet there were over 10,000 exam candidates on Asura Planet.

Although they became ‘rich’ after decimating a small-scale mother nest overnight, the exam candidates were all geniuses among geniuses and had countless experts among them. There were simply too many intelligent characters. There would soon be people with the same idea.

The three of them were only in the lead temporarily. They had to seize as many points as they could in this limited time, securing their lead against others.

One must know that this second round of examination wasn’t as simple as getting a high score.

For the future rounds of examinations, the higher you ranked, the more advantages you would get.

The map of Asura Planet was already memorized by Yana. She quickly pointed out the location of yet another small-scale nest.

Feng Lin used his Cloudsoar and brought the two of them along with him as he sped over.

This time, they used Yana’s plan and camped at the side while luring the aberrations out to hunt them. A huge commotion was caused and the mother nest sent out various types of aberrations to check what was wrong.

At the start, the lowest-grade facehuggers were sent out. Next, the messenger-types and the soldier-types...

Various aberrations came out, their grades continuously rising. However, it was useless. The aberrations sent out were all easily killed by Feng Lin’s group no matter their number.

Finally, a shrill scream rang out from within the mother nest. Seeing that her subordinates kept dying, the aberration queen was completely enraged. Now, over ten armored guard-types led thirty-plus prowler-types out, including other lower-graded aberrations, as they sought to find out what was going on.

(The time to act is now!)

Feng Lin exchanged glances with the sister. Their plan had succeeded!

For a small-scale mother nest, the number of guard-types would at most be thirty.

Although the capabilities of the guard-types were strong, after all, there was a limit to a small queen’s life force. Giving birth to 30 guard-types was already her limit.

Now, since even the core protectors of the queen had been sent out, it was clear that the defenses in the interior of the nest would be greatly reduced. If they didn’t enter now, when would they?

However, it was impossible for the defenses of the mother nest to be completely empty. The survival of the queen was the inborn instinct the aberrations had in them. No matter what was the lure, there was no way the remaining aberrations in the nest would come out. Since this was the case, there was no point in wasting time.

What they should do now was to rush into the nest right away since the defense was at its weakest point. They rapidly headed straight for the queen’s location.

Feng Lin’s group didn’t mask their presence and killed their way in, causing a commotion in the mother nest.

Facehuggers gushed forth like the tides. Messengers, soldiers, prowlers—all types of aberrations surrounded them.

Tyrannical Aura Battle Statue!

Aris shouted. Tyrannical aura gushed forth from her body, causing a gigantic half-body statue to manifest. This statue was clad in a set of armor and resembled a war god from ancient mythologies. The long spear in its hand directly stabbed forth, crushing the aberrations with impunity and piercing through all of them.

Soul Destroying Golden Arrow!

Yana’s eyes gleamed with golden light as a storm of mental energy blasted out, ripping the consciousness of those aberrations into shreds.

The three of them were like unblockable tanks that directly steamrolled their way into the inner sector of the mother nest, heading for the queen’s location.

“Open!” Aris shouted. Her spear wielded by the divine statue slaughtered a pathway for them despite the army of aberrations that surged over.

Feng Lin didn’t hesitate and brandished his metal cudgel as he killed his way into the deepest layer. A few moments later, he finally saw the coiled up queen lying on the ground.

The queen felt threatened. With a scream, three guards instantly rushed over.

Feng Lin’s cudgel swept from the left and right, rapidly changing his stances, using a force of ten thousand tonnes to crush the guards into piles of flesh.

The strong armored bodies of the guard-types were simply not comparable to Feng Lin’s power.

His vitality stat was at the very least, three times that of the guard-types. Also, he had body-strengthening type genes. He had an absolute advantage in both speed and strength.

Feng Lin could crush them to death in a single blow. After the guards were settled, he rushed at the aberration queen straight.

The tentacles and claws of the queen shot over, aiming for him.

Feng Lin already had prior experience in fighting against an aberration queen. His cudgel spun about in his hand, drawing circles in the air, easily blocking all the attacks.

The spawning organ of the queen kept squirming as she gave birth to terrifying monsters that were akin to devils, wanting to tear Feng Lin apart.

Feng Lin couldn’t be bothered to entangle with them. He fused as one with his cudgel and revolved rapidly like a top, generating a blast of wind that sent the monsters flying before speeding to the back of the queen.

“Grow!”

With a thunderous roar, the metal cudgel extended upward, pushing against the queen’s body. It resembled a heavenly pillar that continued stretching toward the sky. All of a sudden, a thunderous boom rang out as the cudgel pierced the queen through. The cudgel continued to extend until a hole was created on the roof from the impact.

The entire mountain trembled as stones and rocks flew about. The intense sunlight began streaming in.

Under the baking heat of the sun, the queen lost all moisture and cracks began to appear on its body.

Although the life force of the aberration queen was great, it was only so due to its strong reproduction capabilities. In fact, the defenses of the queen couldn’t even be compared to the smaller aberrations.

As the aberration queen died, the other aberrations gradually lost the ability to resist.

Feng Lin’s group repeated what they did and started a massacre. All in total, they harvested another 47,600 points, further extending their lead in the points seizing competition among the exam candidates.

The three of them took a short break. After their strength recovered, they started to collect points again. Using a day of effort, they destroyed two more small-scale mother nests like they didn’t know fatigue.

And through repeated combat against the aberration queens and their guards, Feng Lin gradually understood the true essence of the Great Sage Cudgel Arts. The power he could unleash from it grew increasingly greater.

His mind grew clearer as he achieved a miraculous state of heart. He could feel that his heart and mind seemed to have completely fused as one with his genetic powers perfectly. He could fully control them to his heart’s desire.

Feng Lin understood that he had finally reached the limit of the interstellar cultivator realm. He could no longer grow stronger until he had broken the bottleneck and entered the next realm.

As long as he could take that step, he would enter a brand new world!

The sky grew darker and darker. Feng Lin abruptly stopped. He smiled lightly. “Let’s stop here today. We will split up now and gather again tomorrow to hunt the other mother nests.”

“Why? Are you tired due to the constant battles?” Yana softly asked.

Feng Lin shook his head. “No, but I need some time alone to break through.”

The greek sisters were both shocked. They didn’t expect that he actually dropped such a huge bomb while speaking in such a casual tone. “You are going to break through...?”

Feng Lin calmly smiled. His gaze filled with determination and yearning as he stared into the distance.

“That’s right. Now, I will be breaking through to the next level...”
