Chapter 31: 3x Genetic Tier!
Chapter 31: 3x Genetic Tier! (Please Follow! Monthly Vote Needed! Investment Requested!)
Returning to the Wilderness Zone for the second time.
This time, he was flying solo—no one from home to protect him anymore.
But Jiang Zhe wasn’t worried about safety. He had full confidence in his strength.
"With my Mental Energy Quality approaching the 9th Stage of the Apprentice Mentalist tier, only Hong, Lei Shen, or Ister could kill me on Earth."
"If a Councilor Rank hunter comes after me, my flight speed should be slightly faster."
"If I play it safe, I could always copy Luo Feng’s groundhog strategy and burrow into the Subterranean Rock Layer. As Katlan once said, 'Hunting a Higher Warrior-class Mentalist underground is a feat not even a War God Rank expert would dare claim.'"
"With my 2x Genetic Tier, my Mental Energy Intensity is only slightly weaker than Luo Feng’s when he first entered the Mist Island Campaign."
...
He ventured into northeastern forests to slay the Crested Serpent;
Crossed the Xing’an Range dancing with Bear Lords and Tiger Kings;
Hunted the Deer Herd Lord in Changbai Mountains;
Razed wolf packs while soaring over vast grasslands;
...
Every few days, Jiang Zhe visited nearby military bases to deliver Lord-Level Monster materials to his family business manager.
Of course, they paid him for these.
Family businesses must maintain clear boundaries between public and private affairs, though the acquisition price was only 60% of market value.
Hundreds of billions of yuan flowed into Jiang Zhe’s monthly allowance card, numbing him to the concept of money.
24!
...
29!
...
35!
...
42!
...
Jiang Zhe counted each Lord-Level Monster he’d slain.
Each kill brought a pang of emotion.
They weren’t truly dead—transformed into wealth and Light Points, they continued fueling his journey toward a 3x Genetic Tier.
"In the universe, Domain Lords and Immortals would go mad with joy if they could gain Genetic Tier boosts by defeating stronger enemies."
"At the World King Stage, talents capable of killing ordinary Immortals aren’t rare. But such cross-tier victories would provide enough resources to last a lifetime."
While tracking the progress of his Third Celestial Star condensation, Jiang Zhe noticed patterns.
"Cross-tier battles yield the greatest gains—even crossing the small threshold between Apprentice 6th and 7th Stages!"
"When I first entered the Wilderness Zone as a Warrior killing Beast Lords, just 40+ Beasts filled my Progress Bar to 20%."
"After advancing to Low-tier Warrior General, hunting Beast Lords required over a thousand to fill the remaining bar."
Jiang Zhe reviewed his recent achievements.
"23 days!"
"Covering half Northern Hanxia, 144 Lord-Level Monsters slain!"
"Mostly Mid-Tier and Low-Tier Lords. Only five High-Tier Lords—rare and tough to kill. My Progress Bar is now over 80% full."
"If I hunted only High-Tier Lords, less than a hundred would fill my Third Celestial Star from nothing."
"But enough for now. Tomorrow’s the big day—Grandfather and Uncle’s Promotion Banquet."
By Jiang Clan tradition, such banquets shouldn’t be held.
But pressured by Hanxia and HR Union, the feast not only proceeded but became a grand affair—both powers eager to claim the two new Legislators.
As Jiang Zhe flew back to Lanling Base City from the grasslands, he had no idea someone had already targeted him.
In the imperial villa district of Kyoto, Unit 09.
Councilor Li Nansheng’s residence. He’d been having a terrible streak.
The Wang Clan, with whom he’d shared an ambiguous relationship, suffered a devastating blow due to their own foolishness, resulting in a complete leadership change.
It was like a dynasty collapse before Great Nirvana—everything reshuffled.
The new Clan Head severed ties with him, aligning with Jia Yi instead.
Li Nansheng felt betrayed, burning with rage.
When the master’s mood soured, servants dared not breathe loudly. The entire villa became a pressure cooker.
For Li Nansheng, worse news came.
A fat fish he’d eyed for twenty years suddenly evolved into a great white shark—twice over. His past schemes now seemed laughably unrealistic.
Fortunately, fortune turned.
It began two weeks ago with a video from a northeastern military base.
The video’s protagonist was Jiang Zhe himself—carrying his long spear and Mental Energy-Carrying Backpack, delivering beast materials to Jiang Clan’s business.
One glance, and Li Nansheng recognized the rod-shaped object wrapped in cloth on Jiang Zhe’s back.
Ecstatic!
"Nearly 2.6 meters long, wrapped in cloth to hide its luxury... Definitely Jiang Clan’s Ancestral Divine Spear!"
"They actually dared bring it out of the base city!"
"They must think no one knows its secrets. Hahaha! Heaven helps me!"
"This spear pierces Black God Suits. Combined with my Spear Technique, I’ll become Hanxia’s strongest. Jia Yi will be a stray dog I kill with a flick!"
Li Nansheng retrieved an old smartphone from his safe, replaying the blurry footage.
—A life-or-death duel between two Higher Warriors, both in Black God Suits locked in stalemate. The turning point came when that outrageously ornate dragon spear slashed through the Black God Suit!
Twenty years!
He’d dreamed of this spear day and night.
"Stay calm!"
"His Mentalist cultivation is strong. I’ll get one chance. Better avoid Hanxia territory to hide my identity—the two pests could send reinforcements fast."
"Just one shot!"
...
Jiang Zhe returned home late at night.
The Jiang Clan courtyard was decorated festively for tomorrow’s ceremony.
A bonfire blazed in the Front Courtyard.
A small gathering—thirty to forty people, half Hanxia and half Europa, mostly young women from HR Union’s new generation.
Surprisingly, Black Bear... no, his Second Brother Jiang, unseen for months, was here—and in a "little trouble", cornered by a short girl.
"Huh? Is this gathering also a matchmaking event?"
Jiang Zhe halted mid-air.
His Mental Energy shield veered, aiming to slip into his private courtyard.
But his brother wouldn’t let go of this lifeline.
Loudly shouting: "Dear younger brother! Now that you’re a War God Rank, you won’t even glance at your poor older brother?"
Not listening, not listening—Black Bear chanted!
Jiang Zhe ignored him, descending toward his villa.
"Xiao Mei, we'll chat later. My brother and I are at war—I must resolve this family conflict now. Black Bear... no, his Second Brother Jiang, unseen for months, was here—and in a 'little trouble,' cornered by a short girl."
Black Bear Spirit rose to leave.
Two steps out, he turned back: "See you tomorrow!"
"Brother Wu, see you tomorrow!"
The girl waved longingly.
Jiang Zhe tried to close his door.
A hand shot out faster, blocking him.
"Quick! Let me hide here. I’ve been back less than five days and they’ve already arranged three of these gatherings! Elder Jiang’s coming after me?!"
Jiang Zhe deadpanned: "That’s not ‘coming after’—they’re helping you settle down."
"Ugh, let’s not talk about it." Second Brother Jiang waved him off. "You’ve been on an insane spree lately, slaying over a hundred Lord-Level Monsters! The outside world praises you as the Jiang Clan’s sole supplier for weapon-grade materials."
"Ha? Just killing beasts to pass time."
Jiang Zhe deflected: "Second Brother, you’re not bad either—High Warrior General now. Thunder Gym’s Elite Training Camp must be great."
"True! I’ve also mastered the Ninefold Thunder Blade—4.2x power amplification. After using Agate and Dragon Blood this time, I’ll ascend to War God Rank directly."
"When you hunt Lord-Level Monsters next, take me along."
...
After Grandfather and Uncle’s promotion ceremony, Jiang Zhe set off again.
Destination: Australasian Continent.
Partly to complete the final 20% by slaying Lord-Level Monsters;
Mainly to visit Mist Island, collecting dozens of Flora Spirits for family use.
Elder Jiang used the Nine Lives Revival Grass for medicine. This trip, Jiang Zhe carried only five Dragon Blood vials, planning two long-awaited advancements.
Boarding a HR Union private jet, Jiang Zhe parachuted mid-flight, landing on his shield in the mountains.
—[140°E–145°E; 25°S–30°S!]
Unbeknownst to him, the pilot transmitted his likely activity coordinates upon jumping.
The plane later crashed into the Pacific.
...
Australasian Continent teemed with Lord-Level Monsters.
Wearing his Black God Suit, Jiang Zhe ventured boldly, prioritizing speed by targeting Low-tier Lords.
Two Great Demon Apes!
Four Gold-Backed Alligator Dragons!
Three Rock Kangaroos!
Red-Back Wolf Spider!
Lightning Python!
Adamant Python...
At dawn, Jiang Zhe finally smiled after a day and night of work.
"223 Lord-Level Monsters slain!"
"153 Low-tier, 56 Mid-Tier, and 14 stubborn High-Tier Lords!"
"Time for the final Metamorphosis!"
Four Annihilation Throwing Daggers drilled into the ground. Jiang Zhe plunged, Mental Energy propelling him like a diamond drill into the earth.
Deep underground, rock layers.
Jiang Zhe blasted a small cave, leaning against stone to recover, reaching peak condition.
Sitting cross-legged, visualizing the Three-Star Chart.
Refined Energy flowed from his Consciousness Ocean through his body.
Secret Patterns in his chest heated, circulating massive Light Points before merging.
Two energies intertwined—Life Evolution began!
The final step: the Third Celestial Star solidified in his Left Shoulder, completing the first Life Blueprint diagram.
Cerebral Domain!
Right Shoulder!
Left Shoulder!
Three Celestial Stars interconnected, glowing mutually, forming a unique Vitality Field.
A gentle rhythm guided Jiang Zhe’s Final Evolution.
He felt cells dividing, body tissues transforming...
Most importantly, a cohesive sensation unified spirit, flesh, bone, and blood—no longer fragmented, but a complete entity!
