Super Gene Ⅱ: Evolution-Chapter 649 Tian Xiaocao

Despite the Maile Clan’s efforts to seal off the news, the message that Moer died in the Chiyou Temple still got out, shocking the entire universe.

Someone investigated the time of Moer’s death, as well as the changes in the rankings at that time, and made a speculation that was hard to accept.

It was during that time period that Moer appeared briefly on the rankings twice, only to disappear from the list due to his death, as the "Divine King".

Although the Divine King’s time on the rankings was short, because there were so many people focusing on the rankings recently, and some were even live streaming the changes, it was quite easy to find the scores of the Divine King’s two appearances.

"Was Moer really the Divine King? That’s hardly possible, isn’t it? Would the Immortal’s swordsmanship have such a low score?"

"How is it not possible? The Temple’s scoring is fair, Immortals are only strong in strength; their skill doesn’t necessarily have to be stronger than others."

"How exactly did Moer die? He didn’t attack the statue in a fit of rage because his score was too low, did he?"

"The Immortal’s swordsmanship score didn’t even reach 3.5, what kind of blade technique is the Fist God?"

"It’s impossible for an Immortal’s score to be that low; Moer couldn’t have been the Divine King."

People had various speculations, but these had nothing to do with the Maile Clan anymore. The moment the news of Moer’s death went out, the Maile Clan had already announced they had joined the Di Man Tribe.

Rather than saying they joined, it was more a decision made to preserve the Maile Clan.

Without the Immortal, the Maile Clan no longer had the power to maintain everything they now possessed. If they couldn’t quickly find a powerful backer, the entire clan could likely be enslaved by their opponents.

Of course, joining the Di Man Tribe also came with a hefty price; great clans are never charitable.

Lin Shen had been following the changes in the species rankings closely. Lin Xiangdong’s rank was in the ninety millions, which was just enough to make it into the species rankings.

If Lin Xiangdong could hold out to the end, humans would historically enter the universal species rankings for the first time.

Lin Shen studied those ranked near Lin Xiangdong; most were Nirvana Beings from minor clans, and some were from major clans, but they didn’t pose much of a threat to Lin Xiangdong. The likelihood of humans entering the species rankings was still very high.

Tian Xun had returned, and he also brought back a message: Tian Jue had agreed to meet Lin Shen, and Tian Xin would take Lin Shen to see Tian Jue.

Lin Shen, Wei Wufu, and Tian Xin went back to Sky Pinnacle Star together. Lin Shen told Wei Wufu to go home first, and he followed Tian Xin to the Tian Jue Manor.

As they walked, Tian Xin said, "After we get to the house, say as little as possible and just follow my lead."

"Alright." Lin Shen readily agreed.

The Chi Family and the An Family each had four mansions, but the Tian Family wasn’t as abundant in mansions; each family tended to their own affairs, giving off a vibe of each household sweeping the snow from its own doorstep.

The Tian Jue branch was one of the more influential ones within the Tian surname group, but its influence wasn’t anywhere close to an existence like the An Family First Mansion.

However, if one were to talk about sheer combat power, it was doubtful that anyone in the Celestial Race dared to claim a certain victory over Tian Jue.

The Tian Jue Manor was as large as an estate. As soon as Tian Xin and Lin Shen entered the manor, they saw a young Celestial standing in the courtyard, holding a sword in his arms and staring at them coldly.

"Brother Seven, Father wants to see Lin Shen, so I brought him here," Tian Xin spoke with grandeur outside, but now his words to Lin Shen were tinged with cautiousness.

"You want to walk the path of Dual Nirvana?" Tian Xiaocao looked at Lin Shen coldly, completely ignoring Tian Xin.

"Since there is such a path, I want to take a look," Lin Shen answered.

"True techniques are not transmitted to the incapable. You may take a look, but first you must prove that you’re worthy of it," Tian Xiaocao stated, her face stern.

"Brother Seven, Father sent for him," Tian Xin tried to flare up, but ended up speaking in a compliant manner.

"Come talk to me when you have the ability to defeat me," Tian Xiaocao said flatly, deflating Tian Xin’s temper. He opened his mouth as if to say something, but in the end, he said nothing.

"Tian Xin doesn’t have it easy at home either," Lin Shen thought to himself. He then asked Tian Xiaocao, "How do I prove myself?"

"I have one sword move. If you can understand it, then you’ll have passed my test," Tian Xiaocao replied coldly.

"I’m not very good with my eyes and can’t see clearly. Don’t make me look. How about I take ten of your sword strikes instead to pass this test?" Lin Shen suggested with a smile.

At these words, Tian Xin’s expression changed abruptly. He tugged at Lin Shen and said, "Don’t be reckless, my Brother Seven is a natural swordsman, with a single strike capable of slaying seven lives. If you were at the Nirvana Level, perhaps you could take one of his strikes, but you are just Ascended, you can’t withstand his sword."

Lin Shen calmly asked, "Has he walked the path of Dual Nirvana?"

"No," Tian Xin shook his head.

"If he hasn’t walked the path of Dual Nirvana and I can’t even get past him, then there’s no point in looking any further," Lin Shen said as he took off the Scrap Sword from his waist and, holding the scabbard, walked towards Tian Xiaocao.

"You indeed have the heart of someone daring to walk the path of Dual Nirvana," Tian Xiaocao said indifferently, "but having the heart isn’t enough, we still have to see if you’re capable. There’s no need for you to take ten of my strikes; I will only make one. If you can withstand it, then proceed inside."

"Then bring it on," Lin Shen said, uninterested in further conversation, and stood before Tian Xiaocao.

Tian Xiaocao, holding her sword, slowly lowered her hand. One hand held the scabbard, laying the sword in front of her, while the other held the hilt, yet she did not draw the sword. Her eyes, like sharp blades, were fixed on Lin Shen.

Tian Xin watched the two anxiously. He understood Lin Shen’s capabilities, which were indeed strong, but he was also well aware of Tian Xiaocao’s abilities.

If Lin Shen were at the Nirvana Level, he likely could have fought Tian Xiaocao. But regrettably, Lin Shen was still merely Ascended, and Tian Xin feared that Tian Xiaocao’s single strike could actually kill Lin Shen.

Tian Xin was internally fearful of seeing Tian Xiaocao draw her sword, yet he also yearned for a quick resolution, torn immensely within.

Tian Xin had expected a swift outcome from a single sword strike, but after a prolonged wait, Tian Xiaocao still had not drawn her sword.

The two maintained their positions, standing motionless.

Tian Xin was impatient, but when he calmed down, he noticed that although Lin Shen’s stance appeared defensive, it also hinted at the possibility of a counterattack. If Tian Xiaocao’s strike was not successful, she would face his thunderous retaliation.

Tian Xiaocao had yet to draw her sword, probably because she was not confident she could break through Lin Shen’s defense and deliver a fatal blow with a single sword strike.

"This guy’s defense has been trained to such a degree that even Brother Seven can’t find an opening. No matter how perfect the defense, flaws will emerge over time. If we continue in this deadlock, Lin Shen will always be on the receiving end," Tian Xin thought with a strange expression.
