Super Gene Ⅱ: Evolution

Chapter 855: Chapter 855: King of the Secret Realm

Lin Shen, who had already won over a thousand Commerce Star Coins, didn’t care much for such a small amount of money. However, in the realm of Ascension Level pets, the stakes couldn’t get much higher. Lin Shen wanted to opt for more lucrative bets, but there was no chance for that.

The likes of the Explosive Demon King who directly went for a thousand coins were unique within the Ascension Level.

As he continued to challenge other players, some agreed while others declined.

Lin Shen was still not cunning enough; after winning several matches, his Dragon Hunter had caught the attention of many.

Although other than the challenged pet owners, no one could see the battles of the Dragon Hunter, nor know which Ascension Pet it was challenging.

But as the estimated value of the Dragon Hunter kept increasing, and as the stakes for some earlier high-stake pets started lowering somewhat—and this wasn’t just a one or two-time coincidence—many had begun guessing what was happening.

These people, thriving on pet price wars, were no fools, and soon no one was accepting challenges from the Dragon Hunter anymore.

Lin Shen realized the problem, but by then, it was too late to remedy it.

Had he realized this sooner, he would win a few matches and then deliberately lose a few to those betting lower, enabling sustainable growth.

Now, it was already too late. The Dragon Hunter had been singled out, and reducing its evaluated price was futile.

Lin Shen had no choice but to hang up his own thousand-coin bet in the pet pricing war zone, hoping some naive fish would swim to his net.

At this moment, Charles was still trying to borrow the Holy Heart Knight from Golia; otherwise, that thousand coins would likely have been on Charles’s head.

Lin Shen thought that his Jiweis would not be challenged while he continued to monitor material prices, but suddenly, he received a challenge request.

“King of Ascension Pet Mysterious Realm challenges Dragon Hunter, do you accept?”

Lin Shen glanced at it, confirmed that the challenger was an Ascension Level pet, and accepted the challenge without even looking at the challenger’s estimated value.

The Dragon Hunter entered the arena where Lin Shen saw the pet named King of Mysterious Realm, which was wrapped in grey bandages, resembling a mummy.

Lin Shen immediately ordered the Dragon Hunter to attack; it summoned the Dragon-cutting Blade and rushed forward, swinging the blade.

Lin Shen had thought that the mummy-like pet would not be very agile and would move slowly.

To his surprise, its movement speed was unexpectedly fast. With the Dragon Hunter’s speed and Blade Technique, it missed the King of Mysterious Realm with several consecutive strikes.

The King of Mysterious Realm’s movement technique was extremely unpredictable and seemed profound. Even Lin Shen couldn’t predict the pet’s next move or direction.

Despite its speed and the odd nature of its movements, they looked anything but smooth. Every action of the King of Mysterious Realm was very stiff, very direct, like that of a robot.

Yet such a technique allowed it to constantly evade the Dragon-cutting Blade, which couldn’t touch the King of Mysterious Realm’s body.

“This pet is quite interesting!” Lin Shen curiously observed the King of Mysterious Realm, somewhat surprised by its speed and movement technique, which were exceptionally strong.

However, he figured that anyone daring to wager such a high bet of a thousand coins must be somewhat capable. Having such combat strength wasn’t surprising.

Lin Shen was surprised, and so was the owner of the King of the Secret Realm.

Long Yue looked at the King of the Secret Realm and the Dragon Hunter engaged in battle, a trace of astonishment on her face.

She generally didn’t care much about ordinary Ascension Pets, so bringing out the King of the Secret Realm meant she wanted to nurture this pet.

A pet that could catch the eye of Immortal-level Long Yue must be extremely strong. The King of the Secret Realm had an extraordinary origin. It was not only an exquisite pet but also possessed a powerful Evolution Ability.

It was able to learn and grow during combat, enhancing its experience and fighting capabilities.

Long Yue let the King of the Secret Realm participate in the prize battle. Winning money was secondary, the main purpose was to increase the fighting experience of the King of the Secret Realm.

She hadn’t expected the first match to be against such a formidable pet.

“No wonder they dared to place a thousand as a bet, this Dragon Hunter is quite fierce and even looks handsome,” Long Yue observed for a while and found that the King of the Secret Realm could only dodge, with no chance of counterattacking under the Dragon Hunter’s blade.

Rather than being alarmed, Long Yue was pleased. The King of the Secret Realm had a great learning ability. The stronger the opponent, the faster its growth. A strong opponent was beneficial for the King of the Secret Realm.

Just as she was thinking about how this fight could significantly improve the King of the Secret Realm’s combat experience, she suddenly heard a loud gunshot.

The initially dodging King of the Secret Realm suddenly had a hole the size of a fingertip appear in its head, and then it fell rigid to the ground.

“Double Life Base pet… too treacherous…” Long Yue saw the gun in the other hand of the Dragon Hunter and was slightly surprised.

In a flash, she felt the owner of this Dragon Hunter was too cunning, hiding behind a Double Life Base pet capable of frontal combat but opting for a sneak attack and aiming to take the life of the King of the Secret Realm in one shot, which seemed overly cruel.

Had the King of the Secret Realm not been quite unique, any other pet might have been killed outright.

“This person is bad!” Long Yue chose to concede. If she didn’t concede now, and the opponent realized that the King of the Secret Realm wasn’t dead and continued the attack, then the King of the Secret Realm would truly be in danger.

Conceding meant losing a thousand Commerce Star Coins, and although it wasn’t a significant amount of money for Long Yue, it was a loss that left her rather reluctant and unwilling.

“Once I’ve trained the King of the Secret Realm, I’ll challenge the Dragon Hunter again and make sure he pays back double,” Long Yue thought of a good idea as she looked at the King of the Secret Realm lying straight on the ground.

The next second, the body of the King of the Secret Realm sprang upright, and the hole on its forehead slowly swelled back to its original form.

“Let’s go, time for training. I’ll add some more meal, and after you reach Tenth Turn with strong fighting experience, we’ll win that money back,” Long Yue decided to personally train the King of the Secret Realm to boost its combat experience.

She then planned to gather more resources to help the King of the Secret Realm achieve Tenth Turn quickly.

When the King of the Secret Realm, having been a loser, went to challenge the Dragon Hunter again, the opponent would surely think the King of the Secret Realm was just delivering money.

Long Yue really wanted to see the look on the face of the Dragon Hunter’s owner when the King of the Secret Realm, greatly improved, beat the Dragon Hunter and took his money.

Unfortunately, since the Commerce Star platform didn’t show the owners of goods, Long Yue could only imagine it.

Lin Shen had won another thousand, and his mood was excellent. He rewarded a bag of Immortal Liquid to Xiaoyu, who was always at his beck and call, and gave some Mutated Ascension Liquid to the Dragon Hunter, hoping to boost his reincarnation count.

The Dragon Hunter was still at First Turn, with a lot of potentials to rise.
