A Fan

The four members in Queen's team were Tyrant, Lazy cat, Horny Old Man and Sky Jealousy. Tyrant was actually well cultured in battle, beside his unruly attitude.

He gave a courtesy bow "Tyrant!" He said his name and expected Bian to reciprocate.

Obviously Tyrant wasn't his real name but a nickname of sorts, Bian knew this as well. 'Should I come up with a nickname?' Bian thought about it, but he concluded it was too early.

"Bian!" Bian responded with a courteous bow.

Before Tyrant could lunge at Bian, Lazy Cat stepped forward with trembling steps.

"Did you just say your name is Bian. As in Bian Manwei? The reviver of the Echo Geckos." Lazy cat said in a trembling excited voice.

Bian wasn't sure whether or not to confirm her thoughts. He gave her a simple nod.

"Kyaa!" Lazy Cat brought out a pen and paper from who knows where. She came up to Bian and asked for his autograph.

"Oh my, can we exchange contact info. Let's get together and have some fun, I'll invite all my friends and ..." Lazy Cat went on and on.

Bian signed the paper and returned it, Tyrant finally couldn't take it anymore.

"Lazy Cat, you have gotten the autograph. Leave now, it's time for us to fight." Tyrant said a little peeved that his battle had been disrupted.

"Leave him alone Tyrant! I vote for him to join the team" Lazy Cat glared at Tyrant.

Queen stepped in to mediate the dispute before it escalated. "Lazy Cat, we had an agreement. If he's strong enough, he can join us"

Queen had the final say as the leader of the group. Although she implemented a fair process for decision making, everyone subconsciously saw her as the judge in the courtroom.

Queen stood between Bian and Tyrant.

"3!"

Bian activated the dongxuan sutra gene lock, he saw the energy flow of Tyrant. With this it would be easier to dodge his moves.

"2!"

The lightning rune surfaced in Bian's mind, time seemed to slow to a crawl.

"1!"

Bian summoned the black fanged snake knife, the jade scissors were a bit clumsy as compared to normal swords, it could be fatal against someone as powerful at Tyrant.

"Fight!" Queen took a huge leap back.

Tyrant took off faster than a rocket, his armor didn't hinder his movements but rather enhanced it.

He sent a straight punch towards Bian, aiming for his stomach. With godly agility, Bian twisted his abdomen and placed the knife in front of Tyrant's throat.

"You've lost!" Bian said coldly.

The knife actually couldn't damage Tyrant and he was only in this position because he was caught off guard. Had he not underestimated Bian, he could have reacted better.

Unfortunately, to underestimate ones enemy in the wild was akin to death. There were no second chances.

"The match is over" Queen said with a sigh, this kind of attitude could lead to death in battle. Tyrant wasn't sloppy at all, he just didn't give it his all. His mood was also thrown off guard by Lazy Cat and her fiasco.

Its not entirely Tyrant's fault. Bian had a one in a hundred chance of pulling this off successfully. His second gene lock with mental point targeting would ensure this perfect effort was achieved, and everything would be executed smoothly.

"What! I've not lost yet" Tyrant's body emitted a glow, before he could do anything though, Han Yan appeared behind him. With a chop on the neck, Tyrant was knocked out.

'She is fast' everyone thought including Bian. Jadeskin was an extremely powerful geno art, its gene lock would naturally also be overpowered.

"Sorry about that" Queen took Tyrant away. She gave her farewell and said she would contact them soon.

"Wow, I'm to weak" Bian sat on the ice cold floor. Han Yan came and sat beside him.

"You won that fight, you're very strong" Han Yan didn't say that to comfort Bian, she meant every single letter of the word.

"Thanks, time to hunt" Bian went through the locations of relatively small mutant beasts. With the aid of Han Yan and Zhu Ting, in a few days, he was able to max out his mutant geno points.

"You've maxed out on mutant geno points right, let's go hunt some sacred-blood creatures." Han Yan invited Bian.

"A hunting spree, like the good old days?" Bian inquired.

Han Yan responded with a nod. "And it gets even better in the second sanctuary. Here the beasts gather together in a single shelter making it more efficient. I recently found an isolated shelter, come on" Han Yan led Bian to the crystal boat, together they left the icelands and sailed towards an island in the distance.

With the silver fox on board, they didn't get harassed by any super creature. It was a natural repellant to beasts below the super rank. They had time to practice the jade sun force that Bian had gotten from Zhu Ting greatly enhancing their kidney and their stamina.

Soon Han Yan and Bian arrived on the island, just in time for the emperor manticore to come out of its cocoon as a berserk super creature.

A huge shelter with about a dozen sacred-blood creatures roaming about. Bian wondered if his empirical will would work on a spirit.

A black manticore appeared before Bian. "Don't use your stinger, kill any creature that tries to run away." Bian said to the manticore. With a roar it took off into the sky.

Bian and Han Yan, both battle ready ran head first into the shelter. They danced a tango of blood and dismembered limbs, they had opened their gene locks and gained a very high fitness coupled with the facts that they had maxed out their super geno points before evolving.

In an hour they killed 14 sacred-blood creatures. Bian killed 5 himself and obtained their beast souls, those killed by the manticore didn't guarantee him a beast soul.

Bian and Han Yan pushed open the grand doors to the hall, their footsteps echoing across the polished marble floor. Before them stretched a vast expanse, lined with imposing white columns. Among these pillars stood two towering statues, their sculpted forms resembling mighty serpents carved from pristine marble. A large statue stood gracefully in the distance with a white gem embedded in the forehead

As they gazed upon the scene, as if stirred by some unseen force, the marble serpents stirred. With a graceful movement, they turned their heads to fix their gaze upon the duo, their eyes gleaming with a dangerous light, they were berserk sacred-blood beasts.

A man in full plated armor hoisting a rapier came forward. His armor was all white and his steps contained grace and poise.

Han Yan drew her blade and combated this foe. Bian summoned forth the manticore, like a black shadow, it passed by a snake. Its head was missing.

Bian used the jade scissors to cut off the head of the other snake while it was distracted by the manticore. With his current physique he didn't need to worry about sacred-blood creatures, but he wouldn't be cocky. Tyrant was a good example of what happens to cocky people.

[Berserk sacred-blood creature marble serpent killed. Beast soul has been gained. Eat the meat to gain 0 to 10 sacred geno points randomly.]

[Type of beast soul of creature berserk sacred-blood marble serpent: weapon.]

Bian summoned forth a curved single-edge blade, It looked like a katana.

"Still waiting for you" Han Yan called out to him. She stood alone in front of the statue.

Bian walked towards the statue empirical will still active. He pried the spirit stone from the forehead of the statue.
