109: Chapter 109 Accompanying

The Combat Training Hall at Jiangcheng University is divided into several zones.

Gu Han followed the corridor, heading towards the area where the upperclassmen were located.

As soon as he stepped through the entrance to the area, a wave of undisguised hostility surged from all directions.

The upperclassmen were much more mature than the freshmen, but the animosity in their eyes when they looked at Gu Han was even more intense.

The reason was simple.

The freshmen had just enrolled, so the reform of the passing score hadn't affected them as deeply yet.

But the upperclassmen were immediately facing the prospect of failing to graduate.

Once they failed a course, they wouldn't even be able to get their graduation certificate, which would severely impact their future prospects.

"Is that him? That Gu Han from Dongjiang University?"

"Heh, he's just showing off in the freshman zone relying on a mutated flower, and he actually dares to come to the upperclassmen competition arena."

"Freshman believers are at most Tier 2 or 3, but we have a Tier 4 genius here, he..."

Listening to the undisguised mockery around him, Gu Han's expression remained unchanged. He reached a hand out of his pocket and pointed at those who were mocking him.

"Are you Tier 4? Or are you Tier 4? Do you dare to spar with me?"

The few fell silent immediately. Most of them were only Tier 1 or 2, and they had heard that even Lin Chuxue, who was Tier 3, had lost.

Gu Han casually found an empty seat and sat down.

The combat intensity in the upperclassmen competition arena was indeed incomparable to the freshman zone.

Two people were currently dueling on the field.

One side summoned a hundred Tier 3 Transcendent Orcs, while the other had Tier 3 birdmen flying all over the sky.

Suddenly, Gu Han's gaze landed on a young man at the very front of the contestant seating area.

The young man was wearing an expensive custom-made combat suit, had an arrogant look on his face, and his features were somewhat similar to Tang Jichao's.

"That is Tang Wuying." A senior from Dongjiang University was whispering to his companion nearby, "He is the genius of this generation of the Tang Family, the number one person in his second year at Jiangcheng University, with an SS-rank Divine Kingdom. I heard his believers have already reached Tier 4."

Gu Han raised an eyebrow.

Tang Wuying? That sounds familiar.

He remembered the person he met at the Police Security Bureau during his last awakening, and then associated that with the exaggerated 10,000 square kilometer Divine Source reward for this professional league.

"They probably prepared such a huge feast just for him," Gu Han muttered to himself.

Just then, Tang Wuying seemed to notice Gu Han's gaze and turned his head to look over.

Their gazes collided in mid-air.

Tang Wuying's lips curled into a look of contempt, and he raised his right hand to make a throat-slitting gesture.

Gu Han responded by directly giving him the middle finger.

Not long after, the big screen flashed, and the referee announced the start of the sophomore zone finals.

Tang Wuying stood on the battle platform, facing a Tier 3 Divine Lord with a crew cut.

The crew-cut boy waved his hand, and the Divine Kingdom passage opened. Three hundred heavy-armored Iron-Back Bear-men roared out. They were all Tier 3 Transcendent Bear-men, with an imposing aura.

Tang Wuying didn't even lift a hand; the phantom of his Divine Kingdom automatically unfolded behind him.

"Ga ga ga—"

A harsh, strange screeching sound rang out.

Gu Han looked over, and his brow immediately furrowed.

These Goblins looked too strange.

The batch in the front was tall, with a massive wolf head and extremely sharp claws.

The group on the left was covered in green fish scales, their gills puffing in and out, holding steel forks in their hands.

The ones at the back were even more outrageous—long pointed ears, slender bodies, holding wooden longbows. Elf Goblins?

The most eye-catching one in the middle was a giant Goblin, three meters tall, with bulging muscles, two thick tusks protruding from its mouth, and a blood-stained mace in its hand.

Tier 4 Orc Goblin!

The audience seating area went quiet for a moment, then erupted into deafening discussion.

"Oh ho, a cross-bred version... Have I met a peer?" Gu Han rubbed his chin and sat up straight with great interest.

Although Divine Lord skills are unique, it's not like similar types of skills don't exist, so Gu Han wasn't too surprised.

Because of his special skills, he had been engaged in cross-Reproduction species, but he hadn't expected someone else to be following the same path. And looking at the scale, it had already formed a system.

A few sophomore students in the distance were whispering to each other, and Gu Han heard their conversation clearly.

"Brother Tang's Goblin army has evolved again! This time he even managed to get his hands on Elven bloodline!"

"Duh, look at what his innate skill is. His Divine Lord skill is [Selective Breeding], so his believers' genes will only get better and better."

"The main thing is that his Goblins actually awakened the [Unordered Reproduction] Transcendent trait, allowing them to breed with any species they catch. Originally, the offspring born were all ordinary Goblins, but combined with the Divine Lord skill [Selective Breeding], it directly solidified the superior genes of the mother!"

"Exactly. I heard that since he awakened that Transcendent trait, the Tang Family spent 800 million to let him buy many species and throw them into his Divine Kingdom for the Goblins to mess around with..."

Gu Han's heart was in turmoil.

It's actually possible to play like this?

A Divine Lord skill combined with a racial Transcendent trait to directly create a synergy effect?

[Selective Breeding] allows the next generation to retain superior genes, becoming stronger and stronger.

[Unordered Reproduction] provides the foundation for Goblins to breed across species.

Combining the two creates a fully automated Goblin stitching technique. Tang Wuying doesn't even need to do complex genetic matching; he just needs to provide different mothers and let the Goblins do the Reproduction themselves.

It skips the process of natural selection and automatically retains the strongest form.

Gu Han gasped.

This combination is amazing. If I had [Selective Breeding] and combined it with [Forced Breeding], wouldn't I just take off?

He wouldn't even have to struggle with trial and error; he could just pair two creatures, and the offspring would definitely be top-tier.

"It seems my thinking still isn't broad enough." Gu Han leaned back in his chair, having some new ideas.

When I get back, I need to properly check the Transcendent traits of various races, or maybe look for Divine Lords with special Divine Lord skills.

If any species' Transcendent trait can synergize with [Forced Breeding], I could definitely pull off something big.

On the stage, the battle was still ongoing.

Gu Han looked at that valiant Orc Goblin.

His Level 4 Believer really has something.

However, it's just this one; even if a few more came, they wouldn't be his match at all.

It's just the right time to test the newly cultivated believers.

Readership dropped by another 10,000, I give up, Tomato please notice me. Too many peers, a bunch of deity-themed novels popping up to steal traffic. It's okay, the extra update is still coming. I'm going to write.
