Super Gene Ⅱ: Evolution

Lin Shen slowly raised his right hand, with his pinkie and ring fingers clenched, his middle finger, index finger, and thumb extended in the shape of a gun, and then aimed it at Wan Guliu, who was fleeing.

Everyone was somewhat puzzled and did not understand the meaning of his gesture. They thought it might be a unique human way of pointing at someone, at least not something as childish as playing house and pretending a hand was a gun.

"Wan Guliu," Lin Shen's voice made Wan Guliu's body tremble. He didn't dare to look back, let alone break out of the formation, and rushed even more desperately into the crowd, hoping that as the enemy, Lin Shen would not dare to charge into their battle team.

"The enmity between the Wan Family and my Lin Family is deep as the sea. The first time I saw you here, I didn't harm a single hair on your head because you were still human. In this battle of races, we both represent humanity. Even with the do-or-die situation between the Wan Family and the Lin Family, I was unwilling to kill you here. But since you yourself do not wish to remain human and insist on being a beast, I shall fulfill your wish," said Lin Shen, and with that, his hand shaped like a gun jerked back as if firing.

Everyone was confused. Ascension Level beings didn't have long-range attack abilities, and while it would have made sense for Lin Shen to use Life Base attacks on Wan Guliu, this child's play of a gesture seemed incomprehensible and even amusing to some.

Bang!

But in the next second, a bloody hole suddenly appeared through the front and back of Wan Guliu's skull as he fled through the crowd, with brain matter and blood spurting from the hole in his forehead.

Wan Guliu's eyes widened, and he fell forward powerlessly towards the ground.

For a moment, the nearby Ascenders all felt like their souls were in great peril, and when they looked back at Lin Shen's hand, which had seemed child's play, they didn't find it funny anymore. In fact, they felt that this "handgun" was even more terrifying than another type of handgun.

Killing from a distance with a single blow to the skull, claiming a life amid billions with a single finger—what kind of demonic or ghostly skill was this?

Even within such a bizarre world, it still felt utterly absurd to them.

"What kind of skill is that? It's too cool," many people said in awe and envy, with Tia's eyes shining brightly.

"This person is really strange," Catherine said as if she realized something, her expression unusual as she murmured, "Lin Family... also has grievances with the Wan Family... could it be he's related to that woman involved with Wan Nianbei... if so... it turns out I have some karmic ties with him..."

Lin Shen withdrew his hand and swept his gaze across the battle teams from both sides, tens of billions strong, and said indifferently, "If there is anyone else who thinks I am the source of disaster and needs to resort to such despicable means to cover for my brother, just come and kill me. I'll shoulder the debt of the Undefeated King."

For a time, among the tens of billions of Ascenders, not a single one stepped forward.

The mere act of Lin Shen crushing Wu Mian into dust with a finger and killing a man with a handgun from across the space was too terrifying and frightening. Even the top Ascenders hesitated with doubts in their hearts and did not dare to act rashly.

Moreover, most people understood in their hearts that with such strength, there was no need to bother with manipulations.

An Ascender who could crush Wu Mian with a finger was already an invincible presence among Ascenders.

Even the universally acknowledged number one Ascender, Di Esi, whom they had always regarded as the strongest, now seemed uncertain in their hearts whether Di Esi could survive an encounter with Lin Shen.

No sooner had Lin Shen finished speaking than the countdown for the elimination round ended, and all Ascenders were transported out.n/ô/vel/b//jn dot c//om

On the cosmic tapestry above, the imagery of Planet Battlefield vanished, replaced by five leaderboards.

The leaderboards were for Base Mutation Level, Ascension Level, Nirvana Level, Immortal Level, and Realm King, with no names listed on the Realm King board.

In this era, no one could delineate the heavens and become a Realm King to rule the universe.

On other ranking lists, positions are determined based on the number of points accrued, which also sets the starting positions for the next ranking battle.

The number of individuals on the Immortal Level ranking list is noticeably lower; it still falls substantially short of a complete roster of Powerful Cosmic Races.

Moreover, very few pay attention to the Immortal Level battlefield, with only the big players from powerful clans capable of fully understanding the combat there.

Most people merely glance at the Immortal Level ranking list and find that the top-ranked Immortal is a relatively unfamiliar name "Feng 6." However, judging by the surname, it is likely someone from the Phoenix Clan, which isn't particularly surprising.

On the Nirvana Level, Ascension Level, and Base Mutation Level ranking lists, the Powerful Cosmic Races have filled the lists, and there aren't many surprises, with the top ranks mostly occupied by individuals from powerful cosmic clans.

The only exception is the Ascenders' ranking list, which shockingly contains many previously unheard-of races, and even some unknown Ascenders occupying the top spots.

And at the very top of the Ascenders' ranking list, the name "Human Tian" prominently stands.

Lin Shen had already accumulated a considerable number of points; moreover, after slaying Wu Mian, all of Wu Mian's points transferred to him, thrusting his score to the top of the list.

The battle at the Ascension Level was already highly anticipated, but Lin Shen's series of maneuvers caused an even greater stir among many high-level combatants. The discussion intensity skyrocketed past the pre-match speculation that the Undefeated King would be besieged.

People are discussing just how strong Lin Shen, who crushed Wu Mian with but a flip of his finger and assassinated Wan Guliu from afar with a pistol, truly is, and whether he is indeed invincible within his tier.

Theoretically, not even Di Esi could achieve what Lin Shen has done, leading many to believe that this Ascender from a lesser-known race might indeed be the strongest of his tier.

Many have begun researching exactly what Evolution Skill Lin Shen practices, what Innate Skill he possesses, and what kind of skills he wields.

They debate whether the crushing finger against Wu Mian is an Innate Skill, some sort of skill, or a combination of both.

And that impressively cool Pistol Air Strike Skill, what kind of skill could that be?

Various analyses of Lin Shen's imagery and his skills continue to emerge and refresh constantly on the heavenly network.

Even some high-level Nirvana combatants have personally entered the fray to analyze and speculate on Lin Shen's skills.

Some have hypothesized that Lin Shen's overwhelming finger against Wu Mian wasn't due to his own power, but rather was enhanced by a certain skill.

Of course, others believe that represents Lin Shen's true power, and the two factions have been disputing each other fiercely on the heavenly network.

It wasn't until an Immortal known as "Mr. Jinghua" spoke up and provided a detailed analysis of Lin Shen's various skills and abilities that he gained widespread consensus.

Mr. Jinghua determined that Lin Shen's crushing finger against Wu Mian did receive a boost from an external force and pointed out that this boost actually came from a strangely-sounding War Song.

By comparing that finger with the Pistol Air Strike Skill, he proved there was a significant difference in the strength of the two, along with limitations to an Ascender's Attribute powers, suggesting Lin Shen's true power was actually demonstrated by the strike used to kill Wan Guliu, which also fell within the range of an Ascender's strength.

Mr. Jinghua also listed Lin Shen's skills exhaustively; besides the Pistol Air Strike Skill, he distinctly categorized the War Song enhancement, two different Weakening Skills, and more, analyzing them with great clarity.
