Super Gene Ⅱ: Evolution

"Very well, Yu Lizi, you've gone too far in bullying others. Even if I have to risk my life today, I absolutely cannot let you have an easy time." Qing Lunzi roared angrily, taking out a Divine Artifact Sword, ready to fight Yu Lizi to the death.

Long Xiuzi held him back firmly: "Qing Lunzi, don't act rashly!"

"What a joke, Brother, you are a Middle Divine Being of high standing, whereas I am but a Lower Divine Being. In terms of rank and seniority, you are far above me – who could bully whom?" Yu Lizi said indifferently.

Despite knowing that Yu Lizi was a truly despicable person, Qing Lunzi and Long Xiuzi couldn't help but curse him furiously in their hearts as they observed his outwardly righteous demeanour.

"Yu Lizi, it will be either your death or my survival today. I want your life." Qing Lunzi shook off Long Xiuzi, ready to rush and fight Yu Lizi to the death.

However, Yu Lizi just stood there calmly, not dodging or evading the oncoming Sword Artifact from Qing Lunzi.

The Divine Soul Flood Dragon Shadow rose from Qing Lunzi's body, unleashing terrifying strength, but when his sword struck the Sky-topping Armor, it was directly repelled, unable to make Yu Lizi budge even half a step.

Although Yu Lizi was only a Lower Divine Being, he wore several Divine Artifacts that enhanced his Strength Attribute; his strength had already reached 40,000, the standard of a top Middle Divine Being.

Therefore, in terms of strength, Yu Lizi was actually not weaker than them; furthermore, with the defensive capabilities and immunity traits of the Sky-topping Armor, Qing Lunzi, despite being one rank higher, could not injure Yu Lizi.

Everyone could only see Yu Lizi standing with his hands behind his back, unwavering, letting Qing Lunzi attack at will without any intention of striking back.

Yet, it was astonishing that Qing Lunzi, a Middle Divine Being, could not inflict the slightest injury on him.

"Have you had enough, elder brother?" After a series of frenzied attacks from Qing Lunzi, whose momentum clearly weakened, Yu Lizi drew his sword to meet the Divine Artifact Sword in Qing Lunzi's hand.

The swords clashed, and Qing Lunzi's sword, augmented with the power of Divine Soul Light Shadow, was directly cut into two pieces by Yu Lizi, as easily as slicing through tofu.

Everyone was shocked, including Qing Lunzi and Long Xiuzi.

Yu Lizi was merely a Lower Divine Being, yet the Divine Artifact in his hand was capable of cutting through Qing Lunzi's Middle Divine Artifact sword—this was truly incredible.

Everyone was shocked by Yu Lizi's strength; for a Lower Group being, such combat ability was indeed extraordinary. They also concluded without a doubt that Yu Lizi must have been the one to kill the Sky-supporting Turtle.

The offensive power of Qing Lunzi could not breach the defense of the Sky-topping Armor, making their claim that they could kill the Sky-supporting Bag seem unconvincing.

Yu Lizi's sword strike made everyone believe that only such destructive power could have potentially killed the Sky-supporting Turtle, deciding the superior and inferior in an instant.

"Out of respect for our brotherhood, I've already given both elder brothers enough face. I ask you not to misunderstand," Yu Lizi said lightly, holding the Divine Weapon in his hand.

For a moment, Qing Lunzi and Long Xiuzi were at a loss for words; their original plan had been meticulous, but they had not anticipated Yu Lizi's destructive power, an unexpected revelation that made them unsure if they should proceed with their plan, fearing the risks involved.

But having come this far, they also didn't want to back down, knowing that they probably couldn't continue to mix in at the Mud-Plate Palace anymore.

With gritted teeth, Qing Lunzi pointed at Yu Lizi and said: "Yu Lizi, we cannot coexist! I will gamble everything I own with you."

With those words, everyone thought Yu Lizi must have gone mad.

The Celestial Court does not allow private killings; grievances are generally settled by betting battles.

Clearly, such a bet required stakes, but nobody would stake everything they own unless it was for a grievance as grave as a father's murder or wife's abduction; such things were not typically done.

Newlines indicate new paragraphs. Among other things, the stakes of such a bet meant even the star system assigned by the Celestial Court would be at risk. Without a home, a comeback would be difficult in the future.

"Elder brother Qing Lunzi, are you joking? On what basis do you wager everything with me? Does all of your fortune combined match up to this single piece of Sky-topping Armor?" Yu Lizi said with contempt.

He was still somewhat worried and not willing to wager everything with Qing Lunzi.

After all, Qing Lunzi was a Middle Divine Being, who knew what kind of trump card he might be hiding, or if he had a scorched earth tactic up his sleeve.

If he were a Middle Divine Being himself, he naturally wouldn't fear Qing Lunzi, but as a Lower Divine Being, Yu Lizi felt it was better to be cautious.

"Exactly, Qing Lunzi, although you are a Middle Divine Being, all your possessions have a price. What makes you think you can wager Yu Lizi's priceless treasure…"

"A senior brother is a senior brother after all, ginger does get spicier with age. To bully a Lower Divine Being with your Middle Divine Being status, wagering your trash against Junior Brother Yu Lizi's premium Divine Artifact, the scheme you've concocted, I could hear it from three thousand star systems away."

"One can't help but say, Elder Brother Qing Lunzi really has a thick skin."

Amidst the scorn of the crowd, Qing Yangzi shouted sternly: "Heaven watches what people do, your bad deeds are exhaustive, there will definitely be retribution. I won't bet with you on a battle, only that you won't get through the first knockout round in the Cosmic hardest Divine Being competition. I bet Heaven will deal with a scum like you, and won't let a treacherous wretch like you rampage any longer."

The crowd was taken aback by these words.

Qing Yangzi's words were fierce and earnest; they didn't seem feigned.

The main point was that if he made this bet, he truly needed Heaven's help to win; under normal circumstances, it would be ten bets, ten losses.

The Cosmic hardest Divine Being competition, the first round is a knockout round, which doesn't count towards the ranking and has no rewards.

Yu Lizi was participating in the Lower Group competition, his opponents would surely be Lower Divine Beings.

With the strength Yu Lizi had shown, he probably had the ability to make it into the top hundred, or perhaps even higher.

Among the countless competitors, to encounter less than a hundred potential knockout opponents in the first round is as likely as winning a lottery.

The competition was held in the Great Void realm, and the competition was controlled by the Lord of the Celestial Court; cheating was almost impossible.

No matter how they thought about it, Qing Lunzi's way of betting seemed like he was simply giving money to Yu Lizi.

"Could it be that there's some inside story to the Sky-topping Armor? Otherwise, how could Qing Lunzi be so senseless?" some people pondered in their hearts.

Yu Lizi himself was also somewhat shocked and doubtful, wondering if Qing Lunzi had any schemes; by the looks of it, Qing Lunzi hardly had any chance to win this bet.

"Elder Brother Qing Lunzi, why must you do this? Those items of yours are useless to me, and I don't wish to see you fall into such a state," Yu Lizi said.

"Yu Lizi, are you feeling guilty? Afraid that Heaven will deal with you, right? The filthy things you've done, others might not know, but you are well aware in your heart…" Qing Lunzi sneered.

Seeing the crowd's gazes change, Yu Lizi said indifferently: "I just don't want my elder brother to lose everything he has."

"Hahaha, it seems you are indeed scared. Very well, let everyone know what kind of person you are; sooner or later, Heaven will deal with scum and trash like you," Qing Lunzi laughed loudly, then turned around and prepared to leave.

Yu Lizi's expression turned ugly; if he didn't take the bet now, the other brothers might really think he was scared.

The key was that Yu Lizi really couldn't figure out, on what basis he could possibly lose.

He did not believe that there was such a thing as Heaven dealing with him, nor that he, with his strength, would fail to get through the first round.

With the assistance of that Mysterious Artifact, making it into the top ten was possible; to lose was truly difficult.
