Legend of the Mythological Genes

Chapter 371: Charging into The Spirit Race Nest

Translator: Lordbluefire Editor: Lordbluefire

The dark outer space was silent, concealing indistinct matter of the universe.

Only the mother nest could be seen floating there, with the three child nests oscillating around it. Being surrounded by the sphere-like little nests, the mother nest didn’t move as if it were dead.

...

The moment the space shuttle left the wormhole, it entered a concealed state and put up a barricade against all probing signals as if it didn’t exist at all.

The instructor stood in front of everyone, pointed to the spirit race nest outside, and started to give a talk to the freshmen. “Later on, I’ll lead the soldiers and charge into the mother nest to kill the spirit mother! I’ll leave those spirit children to you guys! The ranking this time around will be based on the number of Spirit Race you kill!”

“First Place: One million contribution points plus 10,000 academic points, Second Place: 200,000 contribution points and 20,000 academic points, Third Place: 100,000 contribution points and 10,000 academic points! Next, those in the top ten will each receive 20,000 contribution points and 2,000 academic points. Meanwhile, those in the top 100 will each receive 10,000 contribution points and 1,000 academic points. Last but not least, every survivor will also get 1,000 contribution points and 100 academic points...”

The reward was unprecedentedly huge, making all the freshmen astonished.

With this kind of great reward, there would definitely be people with the courage to fight for it!

The freshmen were previously still in an unprecedentedly anxious state, but now they felt that this might not be a bad thing to do!

It was their first time to be offered so much contribution points and academic points. They knew that this was an extremely rare case.

“Get ready to engage!” commanded the instructor.

After putting up with the harsh training for so long, even ordinary people would have gone through a thorough transformation, let alone the fact that Feng Lin and the other freshmen were all absolute elites that had been picked from rounds of selection.

They moved quickly and started to prepare themselves, entering the battle mode.

In just a minute, the space shuttle’s door opened.

The instructor led the elite Great Wall Warriors and stepped into outer space.

At the instant the door opened, waves of energy emitted out.

The spirit race nest in the distance was immediately alarmed from its standstill state. It was as if a massive creature had woken up.

Intense radiation spread out, and many octopus-like spirit lifeforms swam forth, moving about freely in outer space. Their tentacles formed particle streams that charged over, bringing out brilliant light streams in outer space.

Pffft pffft pffft!

An energy barrier appeared on the space shuttle, fending off the particle streams. The collisions produced endless amounts of sparks.

“Charge!” The instructor gave the order and led a group of armored soldiers to the battle.

These soldiers all had burly physiques and the vitality they emitted were at least on the level of grand cultivators.

However, they were soldiers that the Great Wall University had recruited to build up their military force and weren’t students.

The Great Wall University’s military force was divided into two parts, with one being the large number of soldiers that guarded the Great Wall University, while the other part being the university students that enrolled annually.

There were no age restrictions for the soldiers, and they were assessed by their cultivation and battle prowess. They protected the interstellar humans and were the Great Wall University’s line of defense.

These soldiers could use their contribution points to exchange for cultivation resources from the school. Moreover, some soldiers who showed outstanding potential could even be selected to enroll in the school.

This was also another important channel for the Great Wall University to increase their student intake other than through the college examinations.

And students were different from soldiers. What was important was their potential and not their strength.

Every student was nurtured to become military officers.

Once they had graduated successfully, those who were willing to stay in the school could successfully be transferred to become a military officer with actual authority and would lead a small troop!

Even the undergraduates would at least start from being a team leader the moment they entered the battlefield. They were considered to be the elites amongst elites.

The instructor released the restrictions on his body, and his cultivation base shot up to the elite adept realm.

He came from a martial clan and possessed an extremely strong aura that broke out from his body. It took on a material form and was like a stream of blood-red flames in outer space.

The spirit lifeforms who were assaulted by the auras immediately broke down and dissipated into fundamental energy particles.

The prowess of an elite adept wasn’t something that these insignificant spirit lifeforms could withstand.

With the instructor starting off, the many interstellar warriors followed quickly after him and charged toward the mother nest.

“Go!” Feng Lin, Donghuang Taichu, and Augustus also led their respective team members and split up, heading for the three child nests.

The Spirit Race had no gender and didn’t reproduce by giving birth. Instead, they underwent binary fission.

Each spirit lifeform started off being a spore that was separated from their parents. They would then slowly absorb energies from the universe and keep on getting stronger.

The one that was in the very center of the mother nest was naturally the spirit mother.

To catch the bandits, one must first capture the ringleader!

That was what the instructor was aiming for.

And what Feng Lin and the others needed to do was to kill as many of those spirit children as possible and not let them interfere with the main battlefield where the instructor was at.

After all, although Feng Lin and the others had huge potential, it was just potential and wasn’t real strength. They still didn’t have the right to get involved in the official battlefield between races.

Zi zi zi!

The micro-mecha that Feng Lin was wearing would occasionally release piercing sounds that interfered with the Spirit Race’s energy signal.

The spirit race nest had been completely alarmed and the densely-packed octopus monsters crowded over, releasing silent cries and appearing abnormally terrifying.

This scene caused all the freshmen to unconsciously hold their breath.

“Hahaha!” At this tense moment, Donghuang Taichu suddenly laughed out loud, attracting everyone’s attention.

“Feng Lin, Augustus! We’ve been competing for so long in the one month of spartan training! But those training are really too dry. Now, things are just starting to become interesting! Why don’t we have a gamble?” He suggested.

“How are we going to do it?” Even Augustus started to become competitive.

Feng Lin didn’t say anything.

“This time around, we won’t compete with our battle prowess. Since we’re group leaders, why don’t we compete on the total number of Spirit Race that is killed by the team that we each lead? The two losers will each give 100,000 contribution points and 10,000 academic points to the winner. The winner will take it all! Do you guys dare take up the gamble?” Donghuang Taichu proposed an extremely daring gamble.

Feng Lin smiled calmly. He could tell what Donghuang Taichu’s plan was.

He knew that Donghuang Taichu had been suppressed by him for so long and was feeling anxious after having remained in second place on the newbie board. Therefore, he wished to take this daring gamble as an opportunity to close up their gap and then move up to the first place.

Augustus also thought of this and appeared a little hesitant.

With such a great bet on the line, if he were to lose, he would never be able to fight for the top position in the future.

However, if he didn’t take up the gamble and continued to advance steadily like he was doing now, the gap would remain. He would not have any chance to surpass the other two, and he would never be able to take the lead.

If he couldn’t get first place, it’d be useless no matter how many academic points he had!

Wealth was sought amidst danger. Thus, he was going to give it his all!

“Alright!” Augustus clenched his teeth and agreed.

The pressure was now back on Feng Lin.

The two of them stared at Feng Lin with a challenging gaze, as if asking, ‘Do you dare?’

The team members behind Feng Lin also looked over.

If Feng Lin didn’t even have the courage to take on the challenge despite being their team leader and the current first place, they would doubt his abilities to lead.

“Since you guys want to give me academic points, it’s not a bad thing! I’ll accept it!” Feng Lin smiled faintly and took on the challenge, not disappointing everyone else.

In terms of fighting experience against the Spirit Race, there wasn’t anyone present who could win against him!

Feng Lin had the confidence that his chances of winning were the biggest. If he didn’t even dare take on the challenge, then he’d be cultivating for nothing!

“Excellent! You’re bold!” Donghuang Taichu put his thumbs up and strong fighting will erupted from his eyes.

“Let’s go!” With a long cry, he led his team members and headed for his target.

The three teams split up like scattered stars, integrating into the dark outer space.
