Multi-Gene

Chapter 438 - Kill List



A week flashed by in the blink of an eye. The atmosphere within the academy was getting more and more tense and especially quiet.

Different expressions could be felt by the students. While some were nervous, fearful and anxious, some of the disciples were feeling confident, excited, and full of anticipation towards the upcoming Demonic hunt. While some couldn't even wait at all for the opening of the event.

Dong! Dong!! Dong!!!

A soft penetrating sound of bells ringing echoed through every corner of the academy.

In a particular room, a massive amount of mental energy and Brian waves overlapped with each other as though its source was unending.

Whoosh!

Within the small room, there was a singular figure, standing right at the center of the mental energy storm. Within the blink of an eye, the singular figure seem to phase as though he was both unreal and real. 

But before was able to Phantom what was happening, the image split into three parts and that person turned into three identical split image of himself.

That strange person was David. But there wasn't just one David in the room, but three identical David instead. One of them was the true David while the other two were simply clones made up of brainwaves and mental energy interwoven by some sort of technique. 

Their breathing pattern was symmetrical to each other and their chest moved as though they had life, making them quite difficult to figure out which was the true David. 

Suddenly, one of them moved. The one on the left changed his hand seals and the two other David gazed at each other and then shrugged. 

Their bodies quickly disintegrated, breaking down into mental energy particles and brain waves. 

David opened his eyes as the sound of the bells ringing entered his ears. 

"It's time." His voice was slightly hoarse since he hadn't spoken a single word in a week. Standing on his feet, David felt something hanging on his toe. 

Gazing down, he saw Flint sharpening his teeth with his toes while growling aggressively. "Enough play Flint, I need to freshen up." David smiled as he removed Flint from himself and quickly made himself look presentable before heading outside with Flint. 

At a particularly large plaza almost ten times the size of a football field, there were about a thousand student gathered there with some still joining in on with the crowd. 

Walking with the crowds, David noticed that they were already passed the 500 student limit that was to enter the Secret Domain.

He then realised that not all the students in the plaza wished to go, they just wanted to witness the once in a few decade phenomenon. 

After a few more minutes, the students gasped in awe as they saw 12 figures fly from the horizons on their flying blade, eventually landing at the podium at the center of the podium. 

David could instantly recognise five of them as the elders that had persecuted him a few days ago. But the elder he had sent snaking away was no where to be found. He was probably recuperating from his injuries. 

The Dean was also amongst the 12 people that had landed at the podium. 

The Dean walked forward to address the crowd. "This is a very rare opportunity for you all. It's a once a 500 years opportunity and your set is very lucky to have witnessed such opportunities. I hope you all don't disgrace the academy and survive through the hardship you might face."

"Now, those within the rankings 1-500 step forwards to accept your tags, the elders will distribute them to you. Please, as you step forward, be sure you are within top 500 otherwise, humph!" The Dean only snorted, but his voice was thunderous to the ears of the students. 

As David and the rest walked forwards, the elders rose in their flying blades and started to distribute the tags. When it was David's turn, an elder David could recognise came to him.

As soon as he saw David, he immediately recognised him. The elder paused but then gave him the tag eventually, saying. "You are pretty daring, but things won't be as you expect within the secret domain, be careful and keep a low profile." 

As soon as she said this, the middle lady flew towards the next participant. David wanted to say his thanks, but the lady had flown too fast. 

David frowned as he pondered on the words the lady had told him. He felt that there might be deeper meaning to her words but then, her words were just too vague for him to figure out what it was. 

"Is it something to do with the domain?" David shrugged. Whatever the case might be, he would handle it when the time comes, as for now, he needed to read the information given to him infused within the small tag. 

Placing the tag in his forehead, David allowed his brainwave flutter through the air and as soon as they touched the tag, images fluttered into his mind, together with their descriptions. 

David could see pictures of different people in his mind. From the information next to them, David could see that they were students of other academies that he should be wary off and if he could possibly eliminate some of them, there were rewards to be given. 

David skimmed through the list of people and went to the person in the number one list of people to be killed. 

[Scarlet Blood Demon]

[No information.]

David was quite surprised, there was no information about this so called number one person and he was from the Flowing Sand academy. Although he had heard about the academy, he didn't hear about this blood demon of a person. David shrugged and then scrolled down to the second person on the kill list. 

[Name: Song Que]

[Details: A once in a thousand years genius with innate fire attributes. Every attack of his contains the ability to burn his enemy alive in one swing.]

[Warning! It's been rumoured that he had killed more than a thousand men already and although he is still at Psuedo-Earth realm, his last kill was a peak-earth realm without having any injuries. Once you see him, run as fast as possible!]

[10 million contribution point upon elimination.]

David's eyes flashed as he saw this information. This person was more than capable. He could already kill peak earth-ranked realm just at the pseudo earth realm. He couldn't possible just how strong that person mental energy was.

"Now that you all have your tag, it's finally time to leave. If you wish to withdraw, you can still do that. There is no shame in withdrawing since your life is more precious than any treasure out there." The dean's voice echoes through every corner.

There was no judgement in his voice or was there mockery in it. He truly didn't want to force anyone to go to the secret realm just to go and die in there.

He knew only less than ten percent of the people going would survive the bodies of those who died would be used to supplement the domain and grow more herbs, flourishing the domain for the next 500 years for the next set of people to come in. It was a repeated cycle, but the Dean was helpless. 

Those without talents just have to be sacrificed to increase the strength of those with talents. 

The Dean sighed but shook his head to get rid of the thought. He smiled slightly as he saw a few tens of people withdrawing. They had unknowingly saved their own lives. While the weak ones who are ashamed to withdraw will simply be stepping stones for the strong and the talented. 

"Since we are a prepared, it's time to go." His hands were intertwined and they formed a hand seal as a thunderous voice echoed from his mouth. 

"Dà!"

A golden flying blade flew out from his sleeves and in the blink of an eye, it grew so large it covered the very sky within the academy. 

"Gasp!" The students gaped in shock as they watch the blade expand to an almost immeasurable size. 

David's eyes flashed as he saw the ability of the dean's legendary weapon. He then shook his head as Megaton entered his brain. The damn rusty blade still doesn't want to accept him as his master at all. It's seal wasn't even weakening in the least despite David's effort to weaken it. 

"Get on the blade! We don't have all day!" The elders reprimanded the students. 

David nodded his head along with the other 300 and something students. They immediately leapt onto the large blade along with four elder and the Dean. 

The blade shook violently, rising upwards slowly, literally lifting the 300 students upwards with the blade with the aid of mental. 

David couldn't help but be shocked at this scene.. His mental energy wasn't even enough to lift himself up not to mention lifting 300 plus people upwards. Which meant that the Dean was most likely an Heaven realm expert!
