Smack, smack, smack!
The muscular serpent tail slammed on the ground’s surface, creating thunderous noises. The tail was like a violent gale in a rainstorm, brimming with it immense might. It was like a gigantic pillar slamming left and right.
Feng Lin continuously dodged. Given his current strength, he had no way to receive a blow from that tail head-on.
His movement was incomparably agile as he transformed into a series of after-images that danced around the half-human, half-serpent figure. Whenever the snake tail was about to slam heavily into him, he would execute wondrously nimble movements and dodge by a slight gap. It was like he was dancing on a steel wire.
All of a sudden, he noticed that during Feng Shaoyou’s attack, there was a delay when his eyes blinked.
The time is now!
A bright light flashed in Feng Lin’s eyes. He stomped heavily on the ground and increased his speed from the push back, rushing out with incredible speed.
“You want to escape?” Feng Shaoyou coldly laughed. His tail arced through the sky, resembling a gigantic python chasing its prey.
Dragons were from the clouds, and tigers were from the wind!
Feng Shaoyou had transformed into a mythological creature that was half-human and half-serpent. His movements generated bursts of cold wind that caused people to shiver from the chill.
The scales on Feng Shaoyou’s body were square. They were as sharp as swords and gleamed with a cold light.
The giant tail slithered lightly, and Feng Shaoyou’s entire body shot forth like an arrow in flight, moving with unfathomable speed. He transformed into a blurry black shadow and instantly neared Feng Lin.
Kacha Kacha!
The sound of water rapidly turning into ice rang out.
Performing a gesture, a long lance suddenly manifested from ice in Feng Shaoyou’s hand. The chill in the air was extremely cold. He, who now had a height of five to six meters, resembled a malevolent god wanting to hunt Feng Lin.
The long lance emitted a terrifying power of frost and it was incomparably solid, formed from sparkling ice crystals. It gleamed with a sharp and cold light as it stabbed toward Feng Lin.
Vajra Subduing Devil Fist!
Feng Lin punched out with his fists. His entire body glimmered with a jade-like luster like he was a true stone monkey being born from heaven and earth. He was like a king kong that had an incomparably tough defense.
Bang!
The sound of metal and stone colliding could be heard.
Feng Lin’s fists were like giant hammers that were smashing against the ice lance. In an instant, the ice lance shattered into ice crystals and fell onto the ground from the impact.
However, the aftershock forced Feng Lin back as he slammed into the alloy walls at the side.
With a creaking sound, his entire body crashed into the wall and only then did he manage to come to a stop. When he finally picked himself up, a clear human-shape could be seen on the wall.
He was inferior in both strength and speed. It was truly too difficult to jump levels and fight a more powerful opponent.
Even though the gene Feng Shaoyou had awakened wasn’t a body-strengthening type gene, his speed and strength still surpassed Feng Lin.
Feng Lin’s greatest advantage, which was close combat, was now actually nullified by this opponent.
He wanted to pull away, but this Feng Shaoyou pursued him closely, not giving him any chance to flee. Feng Lin could only choose to fight.
Yin-Yang Mirror Imprint!
One of Feng Lin’s hands was Yin, the other was Yang. The hand imprints changed from gestures to gestures and were like two sides of a mirror, generating a reflection that could project countless transformations.
The formless mental energy ripples radiated outward, permeating the atmosphere.
There seemed to be thousands upon thousands of butterflies dancing through the flowers which were created by the changing hand imprints, causing one’s vision to be dazzled as they involuntarily felt befuddled.
Feng Shaoyou narrowed his eyes. He could dimly feel that he had fallen into a daze.
“Hai!” Feng Shaoyou roared thunderously, awakening himself. He had a heavy expression on his face as he coldly spoke, “Mental hypnosis! Before this, I already did my best to overestimate you, but ultimately, I still have grossly underestimated your power. To think that you are both an interstellar cultivator and a genetic hypnotist. Your strength has reached a level that can even influence elite cultivators even if it only lasts for an instant. At the very least, you can be classified as an initial-grade hypnotist that’s on the verge of breaking through to the mid-grade.”
Feng Shaoyou spoke in a lofty manner as though he had already seen through all of Feng Lin’s secrets.
Feng Lin coldly laughed.
So what could Feng Shaoyou do even if he had shaken free of the hypnotism and awakened an instant later?
Things were already too late!
Feng Lin naturally knew the limits of his abilities. Although the Mental Gene had been maxed out and was very powerful, a basic-tier gene was still a basic gene. He didn’t think that he could depend on a basic gene’s genetic abilities to influence an elite cultivator. His purpose was just to cause a delay.
At that moment when Feng Shaoyou had entered into a dazed state, Feng Lin hadn’t retreated but had chosen to advance instead, instantly closing in the distance. He leaped up into the air and was like an agile immortal monkey, leaping onto Feng Shaoyou’s giant serpent tail.
“Courting death!” The vertical pupils of Feng Shaoyou narrowed. His muscular tail started to move like an electric fan, wanting to shake Feng Lin off.
Feng Lin held on tightly, grabbing onto the tail. He stabilized his movements and borrowed the force from the swinging tail to leap higher in the air. His body rose up vertically as he reached a height above Feng Shaoyou’s head. After that, his fists that were like sky flipping hammers slammed harshly toward the sides of Feng Shaoyou’s temple.
Dragonsnake Fist!
Feng Shaoyou directly turned 180 degrees to face Feng Lin. A snake fist that moved unpredictably and a dragon fist that radiated overwhelming power were currently targeting his vital points.
The entwinement of dragons and snakes, these attacks had a seemingly imposing aura as they blasted toward their targets.
BOOM!
Feng Shaoyou retaliated with his fists, blocking Feng Lin’s attack.
The impact caused Feng Lin to be flung through the air, and he had to somersault twenty times over in the air before he managed to regain his balance.
Feng Shaoyou didn’t feel too good either. His body trembled violently and was slammed to the ground before he hurriedly straightened himself.
Feng Lin felt confidence in his heart when he saw this. Although his strength was inferior to his opponent’s, the disparity shouldn’t be too great.
The Stone Monkey Gene belonged to the body-strengthening gene type. It didn’t grant him the capabilities to use any energy attacks, but it focused purely on brute force.
What immense strength! What tough bones!
Feng Shaoyou’s vertical pupils stared eerily at Feng Lin; he felt extremely shocked in his heart.
“Is this a brand new gene that evolved from the Monkey Gene and Stonebirth Gene? Truly extraordinary!” He spoke.
“Eh?” Feng Lin was astonished. He didn’t expect the intuition of Feng Shaoyou to be so accurate, able to tell that this was a brand new gene he had evolved himself.
Upon seeing the look of astonishment on Feng Lin’s face, Feng Shaoyou coldly laughed. “You can hide this from others, but you cannot hide this from me. Given how vast the interstellar space is, there’s a possibility that anything could happen. I’ve investigated you clearly. Before this, the two genes you have awakened, the Monkey Gene and Stonebirth Gene, are both trash genes and your vitality stats were simply pathetic. Since your power rose suddenly, clearly you must have found a way to synthesize these two genes together to evolve them, creating a brand new cultivation path.
“This is why your combat prowess is so tyrannical. Although such an incident is considered rare in the interstellar space, it would occasionally still happen. In truth, it is precisely because I discovered this that I wanted you to be my protector. Although you cannot draw on the experience of others since you are walking on a new cultivation path, your future is unpredictable. But even so, your strength far surpassed those who are at the same level as you. It’s extremely suitable for you to be my protector. With my support, you might even be able to walk further on this new path than if you just depend on yourself. Sadly, you don’t know what is good for you and failed to appreciate my kindness. Since this is the case, don’t blame me for being impolite!”
Failing to appreciate kindness?
A sinister smile appeared on Feng Lin’s face as his eyes grew cold.
Just because you came from an interstellar ancestral clan, you think you can do what you want in the solar system?
You even want others to obey you or they would be deemed as not knowing what’s good for themselves and failing to appreciate your kindness?
Do you really think that only your judgment was accurate?
…
Through this period when they were fighting, Feng Shaoyou might have seen some clues from Feng Lin. However, Feng Lin wasn’t an idiot either. It was impossible for him not to have some discoveries.
Feng Lin, who was proficient in so many myths and legends, had actually discovered more stuff about Feng Shaoyou compared to the stuff Feng Shaoyou had discovered about him.
Fuxi came from Huaxu, while Huaxu came from Suiren.
These ancient human ancestors weren’t so simple. Suirenshi, Huaxushi, Fuxishi were considered progenitors of all human races in chinese mythology.
Humans in ancient times attempted to comprehend the nature of heaven and earth. They would absorb the spiritual qi in the world to gain insights into the Great Dao, causing their bodies to turn into transcendent beings, ascending from mortality to immortality.
This Feng Shaoyou transformed into a half-human, half-serpent creature that generated cold winds with his movements. This was a kind of ‘Dragoncloud Tigerwind’ ability.
When he thought about the basic-tier gene, Coiling Snake Gene, that was awakened by members of the Feng Clan, maybe if one continued to evolve the gene, they would naturally be able to transform into this half-human, half-serpent mythological creature, which would allow them to control the four elements in heavens and earth with a wave of their hands.
If this Naga Gene continued to evolve, it might eventually become the Suiren Gene, the Huaxu Gene, and eventually the Eight Trigram Genes which would then allow one to break free from one’s ancestor’s path, the Fuxi mythological path.
When he thought of this, Feng Lin suddenly felt like he understood something as he gained some overall knowledge about the Fuxi mythological path.
When Feng Lin saw Feng Shaoyou appearing so satisfied like he was in control of everything, he couldn’t help but laugh coldly in his heart.
Assuming a lofty posture? To whom did Feng Shaoyou want to show off?
This person thought that he had already seen through everything about him?
But who was the real one who had seen through everything clearly?
Smack, smack, smack!
