On a broad scale, genes determine the difference between species.
On a smaller scale, genes determine bloodline and talent.
Jiang Ming immersed himself in analyzing how genes were stored, replicated, transcribed, and operated. It was too magical, too unbelievable.
He could perceive, he could discover, but had no clue how to elevate and evolve genes, not even knowing where to start. The source of this content nov(el)bi((n))
“Grasping a Gene Skill and successfully cultivating it within a year, even evolving the gene, that’s difficult!
This is genuinely challenging.
More challenging than winning the championship of the United States Major Examination.
Speaking in the perspective of a martial artist, whether from the Martial Arts First Realm or a Martial Arts Eighth Realm expert, their genes are the same. Their strength might differ significantly, but essentially, there is no difference.
Even if an Eighth Layer Martial Artist can cleave mountains and divide seas, their genes haven’t undergone any changes and is just the result of self-development.
To evolve genes is to break the shackles of the bloodline and uplift the essence of life.
These are the draws of forbidden power.
Within the Provincial Mansion, Jiang Ming had once inquired about Gene Skills. For the entire Federation, this is a colossal issue, and there may not even be any real successful cases.
Now, he was requested to accomplish this within a year.
Absurd!
“There is endless potential, but there is no sign of hope!”
“Nevermind, let’s test this after the Grand Examination. If it doesn’t work, then 1 will just give up”
Jiang Ming shook his head, pushing down the idea.
Losing one talent, for him, truly wasn’t much at all.
There are many talents, and just any one would be able to lead him to the pinnacle of martial arts.
He opened another box, and instantaneously, a Slaughter Sword Intent that can kill everything pitched at him, causing his heart to startle.
The four words printed on the book cover were like swords: Slaying Immortal Sword Skill.
Jiang Ming showed a strange expression.
He had speculated about the Three Swords of Slaying Immortal before.
Now there is a Slaying Immortal Sword Skill book in front of him: Could it be similar to what I speculated?
No wonder he had this guess, because the Sword Intent that just flashed by was loaded with the power of destruction, death, demolition, sharpness, and more.
Everyone looked up and couldn’t help but gasp.
A huge figure appeared in the sky, standing hundreds of feet high, towering over the ground with a vigor that reached the heavens.
Elder Tang and Instructor Yu also showed signs of shock, and quickly stood up and bowed deeply towards the giant figure as a sign of respect.
Jiang Ming and the others followed their lead.
The giant looked at the mountain where Jiang Ming and others were also, and a booming voice came over, “I am Hong Xuanji, the dean of the Saint Academy. Candidates, please enter the Virtual Combat Network at eight o’clock for the announcement of rules and rewards. The examination will commence exactly at nine o’clock. Any delay will result in disqualification.”
As the voice faded, the giant figure also suddenly disappeared, as if it never appeared in the first place.
“It’s actually Dean Hong!” Long Aotian showed a shocked look, then turned to Elder Tang and Instructor Yu, “What level is he at? He can transform into a hundred-foot tall giant, just like a Demon, it’s unbelievable.”
Qiang Jiu, Qin Zhiyan, and Lan Xin all turned their gazes toward the two powerful men.
“What level?” Elder Tang sighed, “Of course it’s human excellence.”
“Eighth Layer, Martial Arts Golden Core?” asked Jiang Ming.
Elder Tang just smiled and said nothing.
However, everyone understood that he was at least an existence of the Eight Realms.
Above the Eight Realms?
Perhaps!
Soon, they all finished their breakfast.
“Good luck, everyone! Make it to the top hundred!” Jiang Ming was the first to speak.
“Top hundred? I have to make it there, or when I get back, the old man will definitely beat me up.” Long Aotian swung his fist, “This is a once in a lifetime opportunity, once in a lifetime to become a saint in front of everyone. Don’t aim for the top twenty, just aim for the top hundred.”
“Let’s all do our best!” Lan Xin’s fighting spirit was soaring, it seemed to have increased a lot compared to the time of the Provincial Examination.
Obviously, she had gained much during the cultivation, and the Lan family also had support.
“Top hundred? Hmph, my target is the top twenty, top ten!” Qiang Jiu’s intention with his spear could pierce the sky.
“Top hundred? I’ll give it a try!” Qin Zhiyan clenched her fist, full of self-confidence.
At this time, in the surrounding courtyard, a strong aura was emitted all around. Some filled the sky with sword intention, some had a profound aura, some were deep and vast, and some were obscure and unpredictable, and so on!
All full of a shocking will to fight.
“Good luck then, I hope you all succeed and achieve great results!” Elder Tang gave his blessing.
“When you come out, we will celebrate your success!” Instructor Yu said.
Everyone nodded their heads, then each went back to their rooms, lay down in their virtual pods which had already been checked out.
A moment of darkness later, they entered the Virtual Combat Network.
The Grand Examination officially began..
