Chapter 144: Chapter 144: Heaven Never Seals Off All Exits (Four Updates)

Xia Luo smiled and said:

"There is always a way out, since Yang Xiao has offered us help, we will definitely survive. Don’t worry, within twenty days, we will surely find a way to defeat the Snow Wolf and live."

Xia Luo walked to the Genetic Store, where two samurai stood like iron towers outside, just like the ones at the entrance of Kongming Academy’s Genetic Store. Although their appearances were slightly different, their formidable killing auras were the same, standing vigilantly at the store’s entrance 24 hours a day, with a heavy broadsword hanging at their waists.

Xia Luo entered the Genetic Store with Zhou Qiang. The shopkeeper was a middle-aged man named Gu Yue.

Xia Luo’s current attributes were Strength 13, Agility 8, Defense 7, and Wisdom 4. His Beast Soul was that of a Tis City tiger, strong and fierce.

Although he didn’t know why Yang Xiao asked him to boost all attributes above 10 points, Xia Luo understood that since this was the only thing Yang Xiao instructed under such pressing circumstances, it must be of great significance.

Xia Luo placed a large bag on the counter.

"Boss, my current Agility Genetic Attribute is 8, Defense is 7, and Wisdom is 4. I want to raise them all to 10 points. Here, I have 20,000 Genetic Fragments, will that be enough?"

Gu Yue smiled and said:

"It depends on your personal constitution and evolution state. Let’s start with Agility first."

More than an hour later, after spending seven thousand Genetic Fragments, Xia Luo had raised his Agility, Defense, and Wisdom to 10 points each. Then, a tremor coursed through his mind, prompting him to focus closely, and he was overjoyed.

"Primordial Gene Primary Stage,"

"Beast Soul Skill, Mountain Crossing Punch."

What kind of Beast Soul Skill is Mountain Crossing Punch?

Xia Luo wondered. He had previously activated his Beast Soul and gained the Tiger Claw Skill. Now, with the addition of Mountain Crossing Punch, it indeed puzzled him.

After reading the explanation carefully,

Thrust a punch through the air; after the first enemy is hit, the person standing behind will suffer 110% of the attack damage, the third will suffer 120%, up to the sixth person, who will take 150% of the attack damage.

Xia Luo was delighted, damn, this meant that his punch could injure at least six people linked together, each more severely than the last.

"No wonder Yang Xiao asked me to upgrade all Genetic Attributes, so it could activate Beast Soul Skills. This is quite unexpected, hehe. With these Beast Soul Skills, we’ll naturally be able to defeat the Snow Wolves outside."

Thinking this, Xia Luo looked at Zhou Qiang standing beside him and said:

"Zhou Qiang, I remember your Beast Soul is the Long-Armed Ape. What are your current Genetic Attributes?"

"Ah, my Strength is 6, Agility 12, Defense 6, Wisdom 3."

"Good, boss, boost all attributes of this brother to above 10 points. Use all the remaining 15,000 Genetic Fragments on him."

Zhou Qiang was stunned,

"Boss, how can I accept this? This is what everyone worked hard to obtain from hunting Mutated Creatures. It’s not appropriate for me to use it like this, right?"

"Cut the chatter, if I say it’s fine, it’s fine. You saved us all this time; you deserve the most credit. What’s 10,000 plus Genetic Fragments? Hurry up, stop dawdling."

With no other choice, Zhou Qiang accepted Xia Luo’s arrangement. Deep down, he too wanted to enhance his Genetic Attributes.

The owner of the Genetic Store, Gu Yue, spoke calmly:

"Young friends, due to special circumstances today, I will temporarily lift the time limit for staying inside the Genetic Store. You can take your time drinking these Genetic Potions."

Zhou Qiang nodded and began to drink the Genetic Potion.

An hour later, after using over ten thousand Genetic Fragments, Zhou Qiang finally entered the Primordial Gene Primary Stage and obtained a new Beast Soul Skill: Shadow Clone.

Shadow Clone could create a duplicate of Zhou Qiang, possessing 80% of his attack damage. The death of the Shadow Clone would not affect Zhou Qiang’s own health, and after its demise, Shadow Clone could be used again after 5 minutes.

Zhou Qiang told Xia Luo about his new Soul Skill and said with some disappointment:

"This Shadow Clone’s Soul Skill doesn’t seem too useful, does it? My attacks are already not very powerful."

Xia Luo fell silent for a moment, then suddenly laughed:

"Who says it’s useless, maybe our survival in the future depends on you."

"Depend on me?"

Zhou Qiang was completely baffled.

Xia Luo nodded, leading Zhou Qiang out of the Genetic Store.

"Zhou Qiang, cast your Shadow Clone for me to see."

Upon hearing this, Zhou Qiang concentrated, reviewed the Cultivation Technique for Shadow Clone, and then, with a flash, a person identical to him appeared before their eyes.

Xia Luo was amazed.

"Boss, this Shadow Clone has a limitation; it can’t be more than 30 meters from the original, or it will automatically disappear."

"30 meters? That’s enough. Get more familiar with it, we are going hunting Snow Wolves now."

"Now?"

"Yes, now."

"Just the two of us?"

"What, no confidence?"

Zhou Qiang looked at Xia Luo confusedly, not understanding why Xia Luo suddenly had so much confidence. Seeing Xia Luo’s insistence, he had no choice but to follow.

Xia Luo arrived at the edge of the orange light. Snow Wolves were everywhere, scattered around the orange light, preventing Xia Luo and others from leaving.

A few Snow Wolves noticed Xia Luo and Zhou Qiang approaching the orange light’s Mutation, and immediately ran over, growling softly.

"Zhou Qiang, get ready with your Shadow Clone. I’ll attack the outer Snow Wolves later. If any Snow Wolves get seriously injured, your Shadow Clone should immediately rush out and drag the killed or injured Snow Wolves inside."

"Eh? Okay!"

Zhou Qiang still couldn’t believe that Xia Luo could defeat several Snow Wolves alone. These wolves were not only large but also had a high Evolution Level in their genes, strong Defense, and powerful Killing Aura, making them very difficult to deal with.

Xia Luo reached the edge of the orange light, feigned a motion to charge out, and four or five Snow Wolves immediately surrounded him. Xia Luo suddenly shouted and threw a powerful punch.

With a boom, a giant Tiger Claw burst through the air, striking a Snow Wolf in front lightning-fast. The wolf’s body shuddered, it howled miserably, and retreated back.

Behind this Snow Wolf, there were two more.

Then, something miraculous happened. The two Snow Wolves behind it let out successive screams, each more pitiful than the last, especially the third Snow Wolf, which took 120% damage and directly collapsed to the ground, spitting out blood.

Xia Luo did not pause, standing within the orange light, he continuously executed the "Mountain Crossing Punch", causing several Snow Wolves to howl in pain.

"Zhou Qiang, quickly, use your Shadow Clone to bring back the most severely injured Snow Wolf, remember it has to be dead before you can bring it into the orange Defense circle, otherwise it will turn to ash directly."

Zhou Qiang nodded. His clone rushed out lightning-fast, wielding a broadsword, and fiercely slashed at one of the injured Snow Wolves, cutting half of its neck. Blood sprayed everywhere, and the wolf died on the spot.

However, his clone was also immediately attacked by two Snow Wolves, losing several chunks of flesh. Fortunately, it was only a Shadow Clone; otherwise, he would have fallen already.

Xia Luo hurriedly used Mountain Crossing Punch to hit the Snow Wolves near Zhou Qiang’s Shadow Clone, and Zhou Qiang’s clone barely dragged the dead Snow Wolf into the orange light’s Defense circle.

As soon as Zhou Qiang’s Shadow Clone came in, it collapsed and disappeared, causing Zhou Qiang’s whole body to tremble.

Xia Luo and Zhou Qian looked at the Snow Wolves on the snowy ground, exchanged glances, and burst out laughing.

"Heaven never seals off all the exits!"
