With his “Advanced Spirit” biometric attribute, he resisted several illusion techniques, depleting the fox-eared girl’s blue bar and then delivering a punch to her face to clear her health bar.“Boom—!”
Suddenly, a sound of the earth shaking and the mountains quaking came.
Everyone looked in the direction of the noise at the first opportunity.
But it was too far away, and for a moment, they couldn’t make out what was happening.
They could only see, indistinctly, that there was a large group of birds and beasts frantically fleeing in the distance ahead.
Lin Zichen, assisted by the “Eye of the Sky,” saw it clearer than the others.
But even he could only see which specific birds and beasts were flying, not why they were flying.
He was very curious about what had happened behind the fleeing birds and beasts.
So he immediately gathered his spiritual power to his eyes, further enhancing his eyesight.
Once his vision was enhanced,
The next moment, a terrifying, sky-high tsunami abruptly entered his sight.
Wherever the tsunami passed, except for a few towering trees that stood over a hundred meters tall and managed to survive, all other plants were swallowed up in an instant, disappearing completely into the waves tens of meters high.
“There’s a tsunami coming from ahead!”
“Everyone, climb the trees!”
“Up that tree over a hundred meters tall!”
Upon seeing the towering tsunami, Lin Zichen immediately warned the others loudly.
Then he quickly picked up Shen Qinghan and rushed to the nearest towering tree over a hundred meters tall, swiftly climbing to the very top.
The four others were stunned for a moment, but upon realizing the situation, they also quickly climbed up.
The speed of the tsunami waves was extremely fast, normally reaching up to 700–800 kilometers per hour.
Converted to seconds, that’s roughly 200 meters per second.
With the tsunami moving so swiftly,
People like Lin Zichen, even if they ran so fast they sparked, couldn’t possibly escape it.
Unless they could fly.
Setting aside a few genetic integrators who had fused with special exotic beast genes,
A normal genetic integrator, if they wanted to achieve flight, would need to attain at least the Rare-level Biological Level.
Only when reaching the Rare-level, with a significant increase in spiritual strength, could one achieve flight.
And at this moment, the one with the highest Biological Level among people like Lin Zichen was Lu Tianrong.
He was a high-level Sixth Order, a full nine leagues away from the Rare-level.
Therefore, all they could do was climb the trees to evade the impending tsunami.
Lin Zichen had just noticed that where the tsunami had passed, many of the towering trees over a hundred meters tall had managed to survive; this indicated that taking refuge in the trees was a viable strategy.
Even if it was not possible to escape, it wouldn’t matter if the tree was knocked down by the giant wave.
As long as one wasn’t standing on the ground, taking the full frontal impact of the tsunami on one’s body, everything else was manageable.
“There really is a tsunami!”
“My god, the waves are so high!”
“Is it really safe to stand on the tree?”
As the waves surged closer and with the broad view from atop the tree, the others soon saw the approaching tsunami as well.
The moment they saw the tsunami, they felt surprised at first, and then worried.
Worried that the towering tree they were on would not withstand the tsunami’s impact.
“How did you discover the tsunami?”
Lu Tianrong asked Lin Zichen, who was beside him.
He couldn’t understand.
Despite being a high-level Sixth Order, he hadn’t been able to spot the oncoming tsunami from the ground.
How had Lin Zichen, whose Biological Level was only a common Eighth Order, managed to detect the tsunami so sharply?
It didn’t make sense.
Lin Zichen casually explained, “This is a coastal forest. Suddenly, a large group of birds and beasts flew out from within the forest and started to flee in panic. It was most likely because a tsunami had occurred.”
So it was a guess, and I thought he had some way of discovering it… Lu Tianrong thought to himself.
“Boom—!”
As the sensation of shaking ground and quaking mountains intensified,
Soon, huge waves several tens of meters high surged over.
They swept through everything in their path with unstoppable force, swallowing all objects along the way.
“Here it comes, hold on tight!”
Lu Tianrong reminded everyone aloud.
Everyone was already holding on tight, their bodies clung to a thick tree branch.
Shen Qinghan didn’t hold onto a branch, she chose to curl up in Lin Zichen’s arms, tightly held by him.
Rather than a sturdy branch, she trusted the warmth of Lin Zichen more.
“Boom—!”
“Bang—!”
“Crack, crack, snap—!”
The fierce tsunami kept crashing into the ground, creating the noise of various objects being instantly destroyed.
The towering giant tree where several people were located shook violently under the impact of several waves, shedding a large amount of dead branches and leaves.
Feeling the vibrations coming from beneath their feet, the people hiding at the top of the tree were all extremely nervous.
They feared the giant tree they stood on would be toppled by the massive waves.
Fortunately, the giant tree was as sturdy as they had imagined, and it finally stabilized without incident, not being felled by the waves.
[You have survived a tsunami, successfully living through the disaster.]
[Achievement: Survived 100 times in different “extreme adverse environments” or “disasters”.]
[Reward: Gained Biometric Attribute—Survival of the Fittest.]
[Total Survival Count: 2/100]
Survival of the Fittest?
Lin Zichen was momentarily stunned as several pieces of information appeared out of thin air, taking him a while to react.
This achievement quest had popped up once a year ago and hadn’t been seen since.
Now, after more than a year, it had finally popped up a second time.
The conditions for triggering it were just too harsh, hardly achievable in normal living environments.
“It really withstood it,”
“That scared me to death just now.”
“The impact was so fierce. If we hadn’t been in the tree but on the ground, we probably wouldn’t have died, but we would’ve been gravely injured.”
“We would’ve been washed away for sure, probably torn into several pieces.”
Li Moyu and Luo Yongjian said in turn, their faces showing their lingering fears.
Ma Xiwei wondered, “Why did a tsunami come out of the blue like this?”
Lu Tianrong speculated, “Unless I’m mistaken, this tsunami was probably Principal Yuan’s doing.”
“Principal Yuan is that powerful, capable of causing such a terrifying tsunami?”
Luo Yongjian was astonished, finding it hard to believe.
Creating such a horrific tsunami was a feat one might expect from the Dragon King of myth.
Li Moyu said, “Principal Yuan is a Rare-level creature, and a Rare-level Fighter who has integrated with the Jiaolong gene, it’s not strange for him to be able to do this.”
Luo Yongjian was curious, “Brother Yu, how do you know so much about Principal Yuan?”
Without explaining too much, Li Moyu simply said, “The Li family, where I come from, has some business dealings with Principal Yuan’s Yuan Family, so I’ve had more contact and naturally know a bit more.”
Hearing this, Luo Yongjian was envious.
He thought to himself how great it was to be a second-generation successor with connections everywhere,
Unlike himself, whose family only manufactured sexy lingerie and had plenty of money but no such connections.
In terms of networking, his family was far behind those that had been prominent for hundreds or thousands of years.
“Now the entire forest is submerged in seawater; the Rare-level Fighter battle far away must have been won by Principal Yuan,”
Lu Tianrong said, looking in the direction the tsunami had come from, with a hint of a smile.
Luo Yongjian agreed, “Definitely, Principal Yuan can even create a tsunami, how could the Divine Plant Cult stand a chance?”
Mentor is so powerful… Shen Qinghan thought to herself.
The recent overwhelming wave was incredibly shocking, something she felt only a deity from myths could achieve, and she greatly aspired to reach that level.
Would she be able to create her own massive waves like her mentor one day after she grew stronger?
Or perhaps, surpass her mentor?
The more Shen Qinghan thought about it, the more she looked forward to it.
Lu Tianrong, looking into the deep, unseen waters below, said with concern, “Ah, I hope the others are alright, and that there are no casualties.”
The ‘others’ he referred to were the special trainees from Jing University, the military district, and the Machine God Group.
After being controlled by the fox-eared girl’s spiritual power, he hadn’t seen those 15 people again.
“Buzz—”
“Buzz—”
“Buzz—”
Suddenly, a series of staggered whooshing sounds came from ahead.
The noise was that of objects moving at high speed, rubbing against the air.
Lin Zichen was the first to hear it.
The moment he heard it, [Danger Perception] went wild.
It pulsated more fiercely than ever before.
Frowning immediately, Lin Zichen had an ominous feeling.
In this coastal forest, only two Rare-level Fighters, Yuan Dongzhi and the Hunchbacked Masked Man, could cause his Biometric Attribute [Danger Perception] to go wild.
Yuan Dongzhi was one of their own and bore no malice, so he wouldn’t trigger [Danger Perception].
That left only one possibility: the Hunchbacked Masked Man was coming!
Realizing this, Lin Zichen’s expression changed slightly.
Immediately afterward, he looked in the direction from which the sense of crisis was emanating.
Under the enhancement of [Eye of the Sky],
he vaguely caught sight of a hunched figure leaping crazily from one towering giant tree to another, approaching rapidly in his direction.
Upon closer inspection, it indeed was the Hunchbacked Masked Man with a clover insignia on his mask!
