Legend of the Mythological Genes

Translator: Lordbluefire  Editor: Lordbluefire

The Asura Planet was a planet with an extremely vile and nasty environment. Although the atmosphere was normal and could allow humans to survive on it, the temperature here was very extreme. During the night, the temperature would plunge to below 100 degrees celsius and during the day, the temperature would rise up to near 80 degrees celsius. It would either be so cold that one would be frozen or so hot that one would be baked. This was simply a place akin to hell. It basically wasn’t suitable for humans to stay here.

Hence, this place became a forbidden zone where death criminals were sent to. If the criminals on death row wished to live on, they had to modify the environment, allowing it to become a life planet suitable for humans to survive in.

Although the process was very slow, using death criminals could be considered a type of recycling wasn’t it?

This was none other than the location of the Cosmos University’s second round of examinations. The Asura Planet!

The sun of Asura Planet was ten thousand times larger than the sun of Earth. Thus, the radiation here was also incomparably intense. Ordinary people would directly die in this environment as their body cells turned cancerous.

Only interstellar cultivators with powerful vitality stats were able to survive and move around freely in such a vile environment.

“Everyone, gather at the public square of the warship immediately!” A voice rang out. Feng Lin and the other exam candidates hurriedly gathered, knowing that they were no longer in the solar system.

“We have already arrived on Asura Planet,” Marshal Jelos spoke in a loud voice and then continued, “The duration of the second exam will be set at ten days. All of you are only allowed to bring in a bottle of nutrient medicine and a flash of water. No other tools are allowed. The basic information has already been sent to your id microchips; you all can view it any time. The more biochemical monsters you kill, the more points you would have. I have to warn you guys that this place is a planet where criminals on death row are sent to. Therefore, it doesn’t have the facilities to enable you to connect with the interstellar webs. In the cold and dark universe, the first priority of humanity is to survive. Hence, your most important mission is survival. Only those who can survive are considered experts. If not, no matter how high your score is, it would be useless once you died. Now, are there any students who wished to give up? This is your last chance to choose to give up. For those who choose this, you all can wait in the warship until ten days have passed, we will send you back to the solar system after that. In any case, your lives and deaths are not our responsibility.”

No one cowered under the pressure.

This was only natural.

The Cosmos University would only recruit 10,000 students out of billions of humans. The competition was incomparably intense. The death rate was naturally extremely high as well.

Everyone had the option to choose not to take the exam. However, there was only a single opportunity for everyone to enroll to the Cosmos University. If one decided to give up, they must not regret their choice in the future.

None of these exam candidates of the solar system bowed out.

How many chances would one have in life where they could stake it all?

Since they dared to register for the Cosmos University, they already had some realizations in their hearts. They wouldn’t give up even if the situation was dangerous.

After all, if they gave up now, there would be no more future opportunities for them.

This was also a test of their courage and natures.

“Excellent, as expected of the peak geniuses in the solar system. Your courage is commendable! Since no one wishes to give up, I will wish you all good luck then. I hope you all will be able to attain the best scores!” Marshal Jelos nodded and was very satisfied with this reaction. “Now, the exam has officially started. Move out!”

The door of the warship opened. The exam candidates respectively sat on small-scale flying shuttles which broke through the atmosphere as they proceeded to set foot on Asura Planet.

At this moment, it was morning on Asura Planet. The sun rays were extremely scorching; the temperature was 62 degrees celsius!

The intense heat waves permeated the atmosphere, wanting to bake everyone dry.

Feng Lin instantly closed his pores, preventing the loss of moisture.

Ordinary humans would instantly die from heatstroke when faced with such a high temperature. Only exam candidates like them with high vitality stats would be able to endure it.

They descended on a flat mountain peak akin to a stone platform.

After the exam candidates were all sent down, the flying shuttles soared into the air once more and returned to the warship.

Feng Lin remembered the coordinates of this place. This was the pick-up point where the survivors were to gather ten days later. At that time, the flying shuttles would be deployed to pick up the lucky survivors back to the warship.

At this moment, the exam candidates gradually split up, going off in their own directions, trying to get familiar with the environment of Asura Planet as they planned to hunt the biochemical monsters to obtain high scores.

“Feng Lin!”

A thunderous roar suddenly rang out, causing the eardrums of many to feel pain at the loud volume.

Seven to eight figures rapidly moved over, wanting to surround Feng Lin. The man in the lead was actually the Martian. He radiated an intense enmity as he stared at Feng Lin. At this moment, he had a fiendish look on his face as he rushed over.

Feng Lin ignored them and left the area quickly.

“Stop him!” An angry roar rang out.

Feng Lin didn’t slow down. On the contrary, he used the entirety of his speed and executed his movement technique, transforming into after-images as he rapidly fled.

The pursuers tried to surround him by coming at him from two sides.

“Get out of my way!” Feng Lin roared. He ignored everything and ruthlessly charged forward, knocking all obstacles aside.

These people didn’t expect Feng Lin to be so ferocious. They only felt a tank knocking into them, sending them flying as screams of pain rent the air.

The guy from Mars wasn’t able to arrive in time and could only stare helplessly with impotent rage at Feng Lin’s rapidly vanishing figure.

Ever since he got down from the warship, Feng Lin had already discovered that this Martian had ill intent toward him. Feng Lin naturally made some preparations.

He didn’t fear the Martian. He just felt that things would be extremely troublesome.

He naturally wouldn’t stupidly stand there and let them gang up on him. This wasn’t a cliche plot from novels of the Ancient Earth Era. Now, it was already the Interstellar Era, who would be so stupid?

Feng Lin only had a single goal now. That was to hunt as many biochemical monsters as possible and obtained the throne—the position of King of the Solar System.

After splitting up with the pursuers, he endured the heat and rapidly sped through Asura Planet.

The ecology system on Asura Planet seemed to be very strange. Black trees with trunks as tough as metal were all around him; he had no idea what biological lifeforms these were. Despite the vastness of this black forest, a deathly silence permeated the atmosphere.

All of a sudden, a scream rang out, breaking the silence.

“ARGH!!”

“There’s a monster!”

“Put in all your effort to kill it! If not, we would be the ones to die here!”

…

Feng Lin’s eyes narrowed as he glanced backward. He saw some exam candidates far behind him that decided to group up in this chaos. They seemed to have been ambushed by a monster.

Shashasha~

A strange sound rang out from within the black forest.

Feng Lin felt wariness in his heart. All of a sudden, he saw a monster resembling an octopus jumping from within the trees, lunging right at him.

(What the hell is this?)

Feng Lin’s spirit force instantly gushed forth, transforming into a gigantic ethereal hand that caught hold of the octopus-like monster as he ruthlessly squeezed the life out of it.

Numerous explosions rang out and the smelly body fluids of the monster fell onto the ground, causing a sizzling sound.

Its blood was actually a strong acidic substance!

A tossed stone raises a thousand ripples.

The originally silent forest suddenly seemed to come to life. Even more octopus-like monsters rushed forth in waves, forming a dense mass and blocking out the sun with their silhouettes.

Feng Lin’s spirit force formed into a sword and obliterated these monsters. For a period of time, acidic rain fell from the sky. Their blood corroded the ground, forming many motley holes. If the acidic blood were to land on humans, things would truly be bad.

Swish, swish, swish~

The sound of a creature rapidly rushing through the forest could be heard, rapidly moving toward Feng Lin.

Shriek!

A shrill voice rang out as an intensely cold and savage aura gushed forth.

Four gigantic black silhouettes silently appeared, already having Feng Lin surrounded and blocking all paths of escape. Their eyes stared fixedly at Feng Lin, filled with a look of intense hunger as drool leaked from their mouths. It was like they were staring at their prey and wanted nothing more than to lunge over right now to tear him to pieces, devouring him.

These four stooped figures were roughly about three meters in height and had a humanoid shape. Their eyes were compound eyes that were completely black. They had a mouth filled with sharp fangs and appeared extremely malevolent. Even the bones in their bodies were clearly visible on the surface of their flesh.

Their thick tongues swiftly extended forth and back as their smelly drool dripped onto the ground, generating the sound of sizzling. Behind them, their tails swung around, causing the rocks in the surroundings to be crushed from the impact. Their strength was extremely terrifying.

Feng Lin felt that their appearances seemed very familiar.

How were these biochemical monsters?

Clearly they were…
