    Ding Huan did not allow Laoliu to come up together, but only came to the East Xun Gene Center Building with Nian Jin Qing.

    "Boss Nian." As Jinnianqing arrived at the East Xun Gene Center Building, both the security guards at the entrance and the receptionist were extremely polite.

    As for Ding Huan who came together, no one checked their background.

    "Is Master Shi here?" Nian Jin Qing asked.

    The front desk receptionist quickly replied, "There's an issue with the human corridor defense. Master Shi has been invited to the front lines. However, Principal Antono is here, as well as Minister Xiao Qiang."

    "Please wait a moment, let me inform you."

    "Never mind, I have a date with the principal, we can go up ourselves," Nian Jin Qing said.

    He understood that since Ding Huan didn't go to the headquarters of the Beast King Group to look for him, but instead set a trap for him, it was definitely that Ding Huan did not want the people of the Gene Alliance to know.

    As Nian Jin Qing was a big shot after all, and there had been similar arrangements in the past for him to come and meet, the receptionist did not persist and let Nian Jin Qing go straight to the elevator.

    ...

    The Gene Alliance's headquarters building in Puhai is the East Xun Gene Center Building.

    However, the real leaders of the Gene Alliance are basically based on the top floor of the East Xun Gene Center Building.

    Even the meeting rooms are on the top floor.

    The first time Ding Huan was on the top floor conference room to take care of them all in one go.

    Nian Jin Qing often came here, and he knew where the office of Antono was located.

    "Teacher Ding, as for Antono, he can be overlooked, but I've heard that Minister Xiao Qiang is incredibly powerful, not much weaker than the master." In the elevator, Nian Jin Qing cautiously told Ding Huan.

    Ding Huan nodded, some of these guys may have been cultivating for over twenty years, and their cultivation is higher than him is normal.

    What's the use of having a high cultivation?

    On the Changyi Continent, Ding Huan has seen too many 9th-level Gene cultivators.

    But there is a huge difference among 9th-level Gene cultivators. Many people with higher cultivation are actually weak.

    Some truly powerful 9th-level Gene cultivators were ultimately proven to have spiritual roots, and most of these people can build a foundation.

    In his previous life, he was a Level 4 Gene cultivator, and to be honest, his combat power was entirely dependent on sheer force.

    Now he is still a Level 4 Gene cultivator, but this one is not the same level as the previous one. This is not just because he knows some magic, but more importantly, he has a gene root now.

    The distinction between a cultivator with a spiritual root and one without is qualitative.

    Seeing that Ding Huan said nothing more, Nian Jin Qing also stopped being chatty.

    He has seen Ding Huan's strength, and the invisible blade sharpen is something even Master Shi Changqian, who is here, might have difficulty dodging.

    With Ding Huan, Nian Jin Qing went to the office of Antono and was about to knock on the door when Ding Huan directly kicked the door open.

    There were three people sitting in the office, two men and a woman, who seemed to be discussing something.

    When the door was kicked open roughly by Ding Huan, the three people inside suddenly stood up.

    Ding Huan saw clearly that the person who reacted the fastest was a thin, pale-skinned man who appeared to be from China. This must be Xiao Qiang, as mentioned by Nian Jin Qing.

    As expected, Ding Huan could see that Nian Jin Qing had not said wrongly. This thin, pale-skinned man should not only be a Level 4 Gene cultivator, but even higher.

    It's mainly because the qi of his true essence is extremely turbulent.

    Unfortunately, that doesn't amount to much, because while the true essence is turbulent, it's also very scattered.

    Just like his previous life, he can't fully utilize his true essence, limiting his offensive capabilities.

    Because of this, Ding Huan was indifferent.

    A cultivator with true spiritual roots or a gene spiritual root, who has cultivated for decades, cannot fail to conceal the essence qi of a Level 5 or Level 6 Gene cultivator.

    This guy's qi is scattered and overflowing, he can only reach here in this life.

    "Nian Jin Qing, what are you doing?" The woman scolded first.

    Antono and Xiao Qiang didn't say anything, nor did they look at Nian Jin Qing. Both of their gazes were fixed on Ding Huan.

    "Are you Ding Huan?" Antono had only met Ding Huan once before, and with Ding Huan's huge reputation, he recognized him at a glance.

    As for Nian Jin Qing, he was not even looked at by Antono and Xiao Qiang.

    Nian Jin Qing had blood stains on him and an unsteady breath, clearly showing that he was seriously injured.

    A seriously injured Nian Jin Qing and Ding Huan come to the Gene Alliance Headquarters together. Without anyone explaining the situation, they also know what's going on.

    It was Ding Huan who forced Nian Jin Qing to come.

    The woman also realized what was happening, feeling somewhat embarrassed about her lack of discernment.

    "Principal Antono, it's been a while." Ding Huan smiled and walked in, seemingly not caring about Xiao Qiang's threat.

    In fact, Ding Huan paid a bit more attention to Xiao Qiang, as he was the strongest among the three. Not being afraid is one thing, but ignoring him is another.

    Antono should be a Level 4 Gene cultivator plus an Earth-level warrior, which means nothing to Ding Huan.

    Even if Xiao Qiang is weaker, he could still be a Level 6 Gene cultivator.

    "Ding Huan?" The woman looked at Ding Huan in disbelief, really surprised by his name.

    Ding Huan's father had visited her Qin family before he went missing.

    Xiao Qiang suddenly lifted his hand and launched several dozen white light toward Ding Huan. He was certain that even if Ding Huan was also a Level 6 Gene cultivator, he couldn't avoid the Locker Ice Knife that Xiao Qiang suddenly launched.

    This is not something that can be achieved with just a thick reserve of true essence, but requires the coordination of true essence and mental energy.

    Xiao Qiang is certain that there are at most three people in this world who understand mental energy.

    And the term "mental energy" was invented by him. It's a kind of force that follows the mind.

    In Xiao Qiang's eyes, the most important thing in fighting an enemy is not how thick the true essence is, but how accurate the strike is, especially for cultivators with higher levels of cultivation.

    This is a refined understanding of true essence.

    It's not hard to launch ten or more knives at once. The difficulty lies in the fact that each knife has its own independent force and angle, rather than all being the same.

    His ten or more killing rays may seem consistent, but in reality, they differ not only in strength and angle but also in the order of their launch.

    Some of the knives seem to be aimed at the chest, but if you try to block them, they will instantly change direction and shoot at the heart or other vital points.

    This is what Xiao Qiang calls "commanding power with thought," or mental power, in short.

    Of course, to defend against his ten or more Locker Ice Knives, Ding Huan must be able to withstand the pressure of his true essence at the Level 6 Gene cultivator level. Otherwise, he wouldn't even be able to stabilize his body, let alone block the ice knives.

    Ding Huan's spiritual thought has been focused on Xiao Qiang the whole time, and he knew exactly what Xiao Qiang was going to do as soon as he made a move.

    Even so, when Xiao Qiang's ten or more Locker Ice Knives were launched, Ding Huan still felt that the space around him was locked by the blade qi.

    No matter which direction he tries to escape from, he will definitely be blocked by three blades and then surrounded by the rest.

    The oppressive aura is far stronger than the giant ape he killed at the foot of Qianluo Mountain.

    It's definitely strong. Ding Huan can confirm that without his spirit awareness, this time he would have to choose the weakest direction to avoid the attack.

    Although Xiao Qiang is a Level 6 Gene cultivator, his true essence aura is not stronger than his, and it is even a level weaker.

    Even without a spirit awareness, Ding Huan would have just been more embarrassed, at best.

    This further confirms the huge importance of spirit awareness for a cultivator.

    Because his spirit awareness caught the force and locking position of the opponent's Locker Ice Knives, Ding Huan leaped into the air from where he stood.

    Seeing Ding Huan dared to dodge his Locker Ice Knives from where he stood, Xiao Qiang's eyes showed disdain. If his Locker Ice Knives could be easily dodged like that, there would be no need for him Xiao Qiang to show off.

    However, the next moment, Xiao Qiang was stunned. Ding Huan's hair was almost stuck to the ceiling. Two of the knives he fired were stepped on by Ding Huan's feet.

    The other flying knives seemed to have eyes, flying past Ding Huan's side by the narrowest of margins.

    Without waiting for Xiao Qiang to speak, Ding Huan had already swung a Wind Blade towards his neck.

    An extreme sense of danger surged up, and Xiao Qiang quickly tilted his head to the side, propelling his entire body sideways.

    "Huh!" Ding Huan was surprised that Xiao Qiang had such a strong premonition, able to avoid his Wind Blade.

    But before Ding Huan's body landed, he also slanted and moved several meters across, then kicked out his foot.

    As Xiao Qiang had just settled, a massive footprint was kicked onto his face.

    "Crack!" The sound of his nose bone breaking was clearly audible, and with the immense force, Xiao Qiang was kicked flying out and slid down after colliding with the wall.

    Despite the excruciating pain in his nose, Xiao Qiang was shocked, looking at the headboard.

    The Wind Blade he had just dodged earlier had split this bed in half.

    Imagine how dangerous it would have been if he hadn't dodged it. That Wind Blade would have torn him apart into two pieces.

    Shao Qiang couldn't spare time to worry about his injury and felt some unease in his heart, this level of strength...

    Absolutely not weaker than the alliance leader.

    Perhaps the true essence is not as strong as that of the alliance leader, but that kind of skillful handling of heavy things with light hands is not inferior to that of a Pre-natal warrior.

    Antono, who had been about to block Ding Huan's path, turned pale instantly. Subconsciously, he quietly pulled back his foot that was about to step forward.

    Xiao Qiang's strength, he naturally knows very well.

    Don't judge him by the fact that he practices both martial arts and gene cultivation. His strength is still not on the same level as Xiao Qiang's.

    Standing in the corner, Xiao Qiang did not continue to attack. He knew that he might not be a match for Ding Huan.

    Ding Huan is probably a Level 7 Gene cultivator, and that Invisible Blade Maneuver is extremely hard to defend against.

    Even though he didn't continue to strike, Xiao Qiang still kept his eyes on Ding Huan. He had his ace up his sleeve, and as soon as Ding Huan made a move, he would give it his all.

    (That's all for today's update, friends, good night!)
