Super Gene Ⅱ: Evolution

Chapter 793: Chapter 793: The Winner Is Father Chapter 793: Chapter 793: The Winner Is Father Tian Jiuyou had some hesitations in his heart just moments before, contemplating whether to spare Lin Shen’s life and try to recruit him once more, but given the situation, he could only let out a long sigh, “One must not be too arrogant, or else they may break from being too rigid.”

However, no sooner had he finished speaking than he saw the beam of light beginning to shrink, narrowing from the width of a great river to that of a small river, and then to a stream, until Lin Shen’s figure became visible.

Lin Shen held his sword crossed with the sheath in front of the blue beam of light, streaked with red.

The beam struck the crossed sword and scabbard, splitting apart and scattering in different directions.

“How can this be?” Tian Shangjiang’s face was full of shock.

He watched helplessly as his all-out strike shattered into pieces before Lin Shen, vanishing into the void, with not even a flicker of light remaining.

Even as he watched with his own eyes, he failed to see how Lin Shen was able to block his attack, which simply defied all logic.

“Is that all the strength you have?” Lin Shen looked at Tian Shangjiang, his face expressionless, “Your turn is over, isn’t it my turn now?”

As Lin Shen spoke, his body moved, his armor that seemed painted with ink casting an eerie glow.

The Scrap Sword in his hand slashed backwards, sending an invisible Blade Qi tearing through the void, heading towards the complex-faced Tian Shangjiang.

Lin Shen’s Blade Qi was already strong among those at the Nirvana Level, but against an Immortal, such intensity was obviously insufficient.

Not fast enough, not strong enough.

At such a distance, Lin Shen’s Blade Qi flew through the void for several seconds and still hadn’t reached Tian Shangjiang.

Under normal circumstances, Tian Shangjiang wouldn’t even consider an attack like that worthy of his attention.

But Lin Shen’s performance had been too bizarre just now; even though the slash didn’t seem to pose any threat, Tian Shangjiang didn’t dare to be careless and fully triggered the Frenzied Wall Breaker to launch a terrifying beam of light at the slowly traversing Blade Qi.

When the Blade Qi collided with the terrifying beam, everyone witnessed an unbelievable scene.

The Blade Qi actually cut through the beam and, unstoppable as bamboo, surged towards Tian Shangjiang.

Tian Shangjiang, struck with horror, quickly dodged by leaping aside, not daring to directly receive the slow-moving, seemingly weak Blade Qi.

Tian Buhuan clicked his tongue in wonder, “How peculiar, that Blade Qi clearly looks weaker in speed and strength compared to the power of the tenth brother, so how could it have sliced through the Frenzied Wall Breaker’s immense power?”

“This child is indeed extraordinary,” Tian Jiuyou’s gaze was complex as he suddenly addressed the uncertain Tian Shangjiang, “Old ten, step back.”

Tian Shangjiang wanted to say something, but upon opening his mouth, he said not a word.

He wanted to claim he could defeat Lin Shen, but that last slash from Lin Shen gave him no confidence at all; those words simply couldn’t be spoken.

“Righteous father, allow me to capture him and present him to you,” Tian Buhuan requested.

“No need, I want to personally subdue him, you all go capture the other people and bring them back,” Tian Jiuyou, moved by determination, resolved to take Lin Shen under his wing.

“Yes,” the others acknowledged and went after the fleeing embassy officials.

Tian Jiuyou stood with his hands behind his back, not immediately attacking Lin Shen.

After the others had gone far away, he smiled at Lin Shen, “How about we make a bet?”

“What kind of bet?” Lin Shen asked.

“If you can land three strikes on me and manage to injure me in the slightest, even just cutting the hem of my clothes, I will let you go unharmed,” Tian Jiuyou said.

“What if I can’t injure you?” Lin Shen asked again.

“Then you will join my ranks and become my thirteenth adopted son,” Tian Jiuyou said with a smile.

Tian Jiuyou had thought such a proposal was a great honor for Lin Shen and expected him to have no reason to refuse.

But to his surprise, Lin Shen said, “That’s not fair.

Since it’s a bet, it must be absolutely fair.

If I lose and have to become your son, why should you give up nothing if you lose?

If you lose, you should likewise become my son—that would be fair.”

Instead of getting angry upon hearing this, Tian Jiuyou burst into laughter, “That can be arranged.

You take three strikes from me, and if you remain unscathed, I will become your son.”

Tian Jiuyou said this casually, knowing that his three strikes could do more than injure Lin Shen—they could kill him.

How could Lin Shen ever agree to such terms?

“Agreed, then, let’s seal the deal with our words,” Lin Shen promptly accepted, catching Tian Jiuyou off guard.

“Impressive!” For some reason, the more Lin Shen acted like this, the more Tian Jiuyou liked him, and the more he desired to make him his disciple.

“If I lose, I shall honor you as my righteous father, and if you lose, you shall honor me as such.

A man’s word is his bond and cannot be taken back, right?” Tian Jiuyou said to Lin Shen with a hearty laugh.

“Definitely not,” Lin Shen smiled.

“Good,” Tian Jiuyou looked at Lin Shen but still did not strike, continuing to stand with his hands behind his back as he went on, “Your Nirvana Attributes are indeed marvelous.

If I’m not mistaken, they must possess the power to reverse yin and yang and invert the strong and the weak, right?”

Lin Shen was startled, “Tian Jiuyou has a keen eye.

I’ve only used the Light of Fate Reversal twice, and he has already discerned its essence.”

As Tian Jiuyou said, the Contrarian’s Light of Fate Reversal could indeed reverse the strong and the weak.

This light had the power to make the weak become strong and the strong become weak.

In fact, the reason Lin Shen’s Blade Qi could cleave through the light of the Frenzied Wall Breaker was a result of the reversal of power by the Light of Fate Reversal.

In other words, the stronger the enemy’s power, the stronger the Light of Fate Reversal became.

Conversely, if the enemy’s power was too weak, the Light of Fate Reversal would have the opposite effect and weaken Lin Shen’s own power.

The Light of Fate Reversal was like a double-edged sword, potentially making Lin Shen overpowering or utterly powerless.

But since Tian Jiuyou had seen through the Light of Fate Reversal, if Lin Shen continued to use this Nirvana Power in battle, Tian Jiuyou could turn it against him, making it Lin Shen’s vulnerability.

Even if Tian Jiuyou didn’t take advantage of the Light of Fate Reversal, as long as he was faster and prevented Lin Shen from directly confronting his power, the Light of Fate Reversal would be ineffective.

Tian Jiuyou looked at Lin Shen and smiled, “You needn’t worry, it wouldn’t be appropriate for me to take advantage of a Nirvana Being like you.

If I can’t do that, how am I fit to be your righteous father?

Use your Power of Nirvana with all your heart.

I won’t exploit your Nirvana Attributes’ weaknesses and will still strike directly, allowing you to fully wield your power.

I’ll make sure you lose convincingly, willingly becoming my adopted son.”
