My Genes Can Evolve Limitlessly

Chapter 37: So What If You Guys Are Rich?!

Translator: Lordbluefire

Lu Yuan was being surrounded and attacked.

There were three small stonemen and two black scorpions.

As the rate of Lu Yuan’s gene refinement rate kept on increasing, his Blackiron Body’s toughness was rising as well.

During the period he had entered the Land of Origins, he had absorbed quite a number of spirit crystals, raising his refinement rate to 12%.

Although this refinement rate wasn’t considered too high, the extraordinary gene Lu Yuan had engraved and recorded was an elite-grade one.

It primarily raised his defense and allowed him to be comparable to a gene fighter with a common-grade gene and a refinement rate of 50% or even 60%.

Moreover, he was wearing genetic armaments, and his defense was extremely strong.

As long as his critical spots weren’t hit, these ferocious beasts wouldn’t be able to inflict him with actual damage. It’d only make him feel a bit of pain.

Without any worries about his defense, Lu Yuan primarily focused on practicing his movements and sword techniques.

Between gene fighters of the same level, the one with the stronger physical training technique would naturally have a greater battle prowess.

Hence, Lu Yuan didn’t wish to lag behind in this area.

Through the repeated dodges, he let his movements become more efficient.

Through repeated attacks, he let his sword techniques become sharper.

......

Surrounded and attacked by five ferocious beasts, the difficulty of dodging them was extremely high.

He kept getting hit.

However, he wasn’t anxious at all.

He could only repeatedly practice to improve his dodging abilities.

After that, he waved the longsword in his hand, occasionally leaving injuries on the five ferocious beasts.

It wasn’t long before one small stoneman turned into a pile of stones and fell to the ground.

Although the remaining four ferocious beasts continued to surround and attack Lu Yuan, Lu Yuan’s attempts at dodging became a lot easier.

However, he still got hit occasionally.

Lu Yuan continued attacking. Just as he killed another small stoneman, a piercing sound of something cutting through the air came from behind him.

Lu Yuan’s back felt cold and he instinctively sensed danger.

He moved his body one step to the side.

An arrow that brought about a strong wind brushed past Lu Yuan’s face and hit a small stoneman in the head.

Boom!!

The crazy arrow attack pierced a hole through the small stoneman’s head.

Its body swayed a little before it turned into shattered stones and crumbled to the ground.

This attacking ability was slightly stronger than Lu Yuan’s.

Lu Yuan’s pupils contracted slightly and he turned to look over.

He had just turned when a fireball came shooting toward him.

(How dare they do sneak attacks! They are so sly!)

Lu Yuan silently cursed and moved once again.

The fireball passed by his body, landing on a black scorpion’s back.

The black scorpion screamed as it was engulfed by the flames. The explosion left a bloody hole on its upper body and it collapsed to the ground.

At the same time, Lu Yuan saw a catguy swordsman charging over with a sword.

At the sight of this swordsman, Lu Yuan frowned slightly.

“It’s you!”

This was the catguy hunter he had encountered yesterday.

If it was him, then the two attacks from earlier...

Lu Yuan raised his head and looked toward the corner.

The catgirl archer and that elementalist were also around.

But this time around, Lu Yuan didn’t have the help of another fighter party.

It was three against one.

This was a little troublesome.

Lu Yuan’s countenance sank a little.

The catguy swordsman dashed up to Lu Yuan very quickly, and that strange breathing rhythm rang out by Lu Yuan’s ear once again.

The catguy swordsman held his big sword and slashed it down diagonally at Lu Yuan’s neck.

In return, Lu Yuan exerted force on both legs and also slashed his longsword out.

Keng!!

Sparks splattered between the two longswords, and Xiye’s countenance changed as he took two steps back.

When he saw that Lu Yuan wasn’t pushed back at all, his pupils couldn’t help but contract and he revealed an astonished expression.

“Your strength has gotten so much stronger!”

When the two of them clashed yesterday, they were evenly matched. Xiye even had the slightest bit of advantage.

But now, after a short day, Lu Yuan had the upper hand in their collision.

Lu Yuan smiled.

The previous time, he had just entered the Land of Origins and his refinement rate was less than 8% or thereabout.

But this time around, his refinement rate had reached 12%.

It had risen close to 50%!

Although Lu Yuan’s Blackiron Body didn’t primarily raise his strength, it was still quite considerable.

Compared to the previous time, even if Xiye had made improvements, it was hard for him to be evenly matched with Lu Yuan.

After one attack, Lu Yuan strode forth, planning to continue with more attacks.

However, he had just taken a step forward when the sound of wind cutting rang out.

An arrow shot toward Lu Yuan’s eyes. At the same time, a fireball also came shooting toward him.

Lu Yuan frowned.

He moved to the side, dodging both the arrow and fireball.

He had just dodged the attacks when the catguy swordsman came forth again, slashing his longsword horizontally toward Lu Yuan’s defenseless stomach.

Just in time, Lu Yuan put up a horizontal block with his longsword, sending the catguy swordsman’s longsword flying. After that, he kicked out toward the catguy swordsman’s stomach.

Upon seeing this counter, the catguy swordsman’s pupils contracted, and he raised his left hand to put up a block.

A stifled sound rang out and the catguy swordsman backed off for many steps.

However, Lu Yuan didn’t have any time to give chase. Two consecutive arrows shot out toward him, and a fireball that was bigger than the last one came blasting over.

Moli and Nanqi, who were in the distance, naturally saw the fight between Lu Yuan and Xiye.

Their countenances also changed.

“What’s going on?! Xiye is being suppressed?!”

“How is that possible? Their strength was about the same level previously. If it’s an eruption for a short moment, Xiye should be able to suppress this human!”

“How long has it only been? He has become so much stronger?!”

“Go at full power! Otherwise, we’ll still have to flee this time around!”

Moli gritted her teeth and a savage expression appeared on her exquisite face. The arrow in her hand flashed with a faint bloody gleam.

Nanqi’s countenance was also icy-cold, and the fireballs he conjured with his magic staff got increasingly bigger.

Both sides engaged in a battle.

Now, Lu Yuan’s individual strength was stronger than Xiye, but he was unable to kill him within a short period.

With Xiye holding him back, Moli and Nanqi, who were in the distance, could easily attack Lu Yuan from afar.

Moreover, the three of them had quite good teamwork.

Each time Lu Yuan pushed back Xiye and wanted to give chase, Moli and Nanqi would attempt to suppress and push him back.

Each time Lu Yuan wanted to go for Moli and Nanqi, Xiye would hold back Lu Yuan.

Lu Yuan’s speed wasn’t fast to begin with. With Xiye holding him back, his speed was naturally even slower. It was impractical for him to go for Moli and Nanqi.

The battle entered a deadlock.

Lu Yuan’s countenance wasn’t that good either.

(It’s true that I’ve gotten stronger, but these three catfolk hunters have also gotten stronger. If the prowess of that catgirl archer’s arrows was the same as before, I might even be able to take on her arrows and kill this catguy swordsman first.)

He was a little irritated.

He had been fighting for so long but wasn’t able to kill a single one of them.

This was the helplessness of a guard-type fighter.

They had extremely strong defense but didn’t have an attacking ability that could allow them to end the match instantly.

Gradually, time passed.

Moli shot out another arrow. Her forehead was covered in sweat and she was panting vigorously.

Nanqi, who was next to her, was also a little pale. He looked at Lu Yuan in the distance and seemed to be very shocked.

“Something isn’t right! Something really isn’t right!”

Moli nodded. “It’s true that something isn’t right. What’s going on with this human? He has been using his battle technique all the time. How could he persist?!”

Nanqi also looked surprised. “Our battle techniques are attack-type battle techniques. After using them consecutively, our spirit energies are almost used up. On the other hand, his is a sustaining guard-type battle technique, so how can he continue for so long?! Look at him, he still looks so alive and energetic. It’s as if his spirit energy hasn’t reached a limit yet!”

In the distance, the fight between Lu Yuan and Xiye was still ongoing.

Xiye’s expression was turning a little pale, and his light-red skin had now become a lot duller than before.

He couldn’t perform his battle technique continuously for long.

However, Lu Yuan looked just like before. He was still covered in his Blackiron Body.

Keng!

Another collision took place.

As a result, Xiye’s face turned pale and he backed off five to six steps. His hands trembled and he even had some difficulty holding onto his sword.

He stared at Lu Yuan.

“How do you have so much spirit energy?”

Lu Yuan smiled. “Because I’m strong.”

Of course, he couldn’t say that he was holding a spirit crystal with his left hand and was continuously absorbing spirit energy.

This was the fourth spirit crystal he was absorbing spirit energy from.

After all, his refinement rate couldn’t be compared with the three catfolk hunters. Therefore, his spirit energy level was definitely lower.

If it was just an ordinary battle of attrition, Lu Yuan would definitely be the one to lose.

However, Lu Yuan was someone who could absorb spirit crystals to recover his spirit energy.

This allowed him to last longer.

Right now, Lu Yuan could sense that this catguy swordsman was finding it a little hard to keep going.

Hence, he broke into a smile.

“It’s my turn next, right?”

After dragging out the fight for so long, he had finally worn out this guy’s spirit energy. It had been very difficult.

He then took a step forward and shot out like electricity, slashing his longsword toward the catguy swordsman.

Whooshing sword wind blew at the catguy swordsman’s hair.

At this moment, the catguy’s expression changed drastically and he pounced to the side.

Lu Yuan’s longsword slashed onto the ground, leaving behind a sword mark. After that, he directly raised his sword and charged at the catguy swordsman once again.

The catguy swordsman was very shocked and kept on dodging.

“If you’re that capable, then don’t dodge.”

Lu Yuan felt happy and kept on attacking.

Xiye felt tremendous pressure. Cold sweat kept on breaking out on his forehead and he bellowed furiously.

“Moli! Nanqi! Hurry up and give me support!”

The countenances of Moli and Nanqi, who were in the distance, changed. They forcibly extracted more spirit energy and attacked with their battle techniques.

However, Lu Yuan swung his sword casually, sending the arrow flying and extinguishing the fireball.

He smiled. “Just this bit of attacking intensity? Their spirit energies should also be almost depleted, right? Do you think that yours is the only one being depleted?”

Upon hearing this, Xiye’s countenance changed.

Seeing that Lu Yuan had come charging up again, Xiye gritted his teeth and wore a heartache expression.

He took out a potion that was gleaming with starlight, chugging it down.

At the sight of this potion, Lu Yuan’s countenance changed slightly.

Spirit energy recovery potion?!

He had forgotten that such a potion existed.

After taking it, this guy’s spirit energy would probably slowly recover.

“Even if your spirit energy recovers...”

Before Lu Yuan could finish his words, Xiye took out another blood-red potion and chugged it down. He then took out a light green potion and did the same.

Moli and Nanqi, who were in the distance, also took out potions consecutively and drank them.

“???”

Lu Yuan sensed their auras getting increasingly stronger and his countenance instantly changed.

“F*ck! Are potions free?! Who drinks potions like this?? So what if you guys are rich?!”
