Super Gene Ⅱ: Evolution

Lin Shen carefully examined the content on the blackboard and realized it was merely a theory and not an actual skill that could be used in real combat.

In theory, Lin Shen indeed could not solve it, unless he directly overpowered with strength or dodged and backed away, but that wouldn't be considered solving the skill.

Wei Wufu and Ouyang Yudu also looked and shook their heads, as they too could not solve it.

The four ladies of Ye Xing were even less likely to solve it since their specialty was not in countering or breaking skills; given their power of sound, they generally didn't need to engage in close combat, and their mode of combat was different.

The move "Inviting the Gentleman into the Jar" could theoretically utilize a siphoning method to roll all energy into it.

However, such a siphoning method only existed in theory and no one had actually mastered it, so, for the moment, it remained just a conjecture.

Lin Shen thought, if he truly faced this skill, he would just let it suction, directly using "Finger Sand" to take advantage of the motion, the stronger the suction, the more it would increase the speed and power of the "Finger Sand," without the need to worry about misfiring, a pity it would still be counted as overpowering the skill.

If it were Ouyang Yudu, it would depend on who could out-suction whom but presumably, nobody could out-suction Ouyang Yudu. Thus, facing Ouyang Yudu, this skill would be akin to meeting one's match, and there would be no need for him to break the skill.

Wei Wufu's thoughts were simpler; when an enemy fought him, he simply wouldn't give them the chance to execute this skill.

Because according to the theory of "Inviting the Gentleman into the Jar," this skill required the coordination of four types of forces to achieve the siphoning effect, which made it somewhat cumbersome to use.

At the same level, it was unlikely that anyone could execute this skill in front of Wei Wufu.

If the distance was extended, this skill would lose its significance and fail to pose a threat.

But the ideas of the three could not be considered a proper breaking of the skill, so they could only shake their heads.

"It appears we have been frogs in a well, our apologies for the disturbance," said Lin Shen as he prepared to leave.

Such theoretical skills should be left to professionals to handle; he had no interest in wasting time on them.

With so many skills in the universe, Lin Shen couldn't possibly practice each one; focusing on a few was the best choice.

"At least you have some self-awareness," the man remarked. Seeing that Lin Shen did not argue, he felt bored and stopped speaking. He continued to write and sketch on the blackboard, exploring the feasibility of "Inviting the Gentleman into the Jar."

He was not researching a countermeasure but was trying to turn the theoretical skill into reality.

Lin Shen had walked some distance when he suddenly realized something and turned back to stand beside the man, observing the content on the board thoroughly.

As Lin Shen watched, an odd expression appeared on his face.

When he first saw these theories, he felt something was off but couldn't quite put his finger on what it was.

After thinking it over carefully, the so-called "Inviting the Gentleman into the Jar" was not just the "Mudfish Catching Skill" Chi Xinhuo had taught him?

Though there were some differences in detail, the effects were the same, an example of reaching the same goal through different means.

"What, still not giving up? I'll tell you the truth, this skill is one of the One Thousand and One Unsolved Skills of our Supreme Academy. Since the founding of Supreme Academy, countless geniuses and top experts have studied it multiple times without being able to solve it, not just you, even Di Esi couldn't break this skill," the man said with a cold huff.

"Is this skill really that powerful?" Lin Shen couldn't help but ask.

He wasn't questioning the capabilities of those at the Supreme Academy, but he was rather surprised that the skill of Chi Xinhuo was so formidable; when he practiced it normally, he hadn't felt that this particular move was anything special.

"If it weren't formidable, how could it be a solutionless skill? However, this skill currently exists only in theory, and no one has been able to master it, let alone find a way to break it," the man said, seeing Lin Shen's attitude was fairly good, and decided to elaborate a bit.

"It can't be that hard," Lin Shen recalled, initially, it seemed rather challenging indeed, but after Huo taught him the card-touching practice, Lin Shen quickly mastered it and didn't find it particularly difficult.

Of course, the Mudfish Catching Skill taught to him by Huo wasn't backed by theory but was a skill developed through practice.

Therefore, when Lin Shen was reading through these theories just now, he couldn't quite grasp them immediately.

Now after reviewing these theories, he'd gained a deeper understanding of the Mudfish Catching Skill, experiencing an epiphany.

He himself didn't know that the Mudfish Catching Skill actually involved such complex theory, and he wondered whether Chi Xinhuo was aware of these theories.

"Not that hard? Then practice it and show me. If you can master it, wherever you are, I, Evil Qianchun, will stay well clear of you," said Evil Qianchun with a twist of his mouth.

So many top geniuses from various clans, including the many top powerhouses of the Supreme Clan, had studied it for who knows how many years and still couldn't figure out this move.

Evil Qianchun himself had also been researching for quite some time and was still clueless; Lin Shen's outrageous statements were hard for him to swallow.

"I wouldn't dare claim such a thing," Lin Shen replied with a smile.

"If there's nothing else, then hurry up and leave, don't waste my time here," said Evil Qianchun, who had no interest in idle talk with Lin Shen and promptly told him to leave.

"Alright, I'm going. Can I take a photo of the content here to keep as a memento?" Lin Shen wanted to go back and study it, and having a theoretical basis for Mudfish Catching would prevent him from using it as haphazardly as before.

"Take your photo and get out," Evil Qianchun didn't care whether Lin Shen took photos or not, as the material was already available to everyone in the academy and had spread throughout the universe.

Lin Shen took photos of the content on the blackboard, then left with Wei and the others.

The Supreme Academy was essentially a large city; they roamed for half the day and still couldn't cover the entire academy.

"I had intended to show you around the academy today, but some issues came up, my apologies," said Di Esi as he approached from the opposite side while they were still touring.

"Go about your business, we'll be fine on our own," Lin Shen replied, not particularly keen on touring with someone he barely knew.

"It's settled now, I'll take you to a great place." Seeing Lin Shen look uneasy, Di Esi added, "Don't worry, it's right inside the academy, it won't take much time, and I guarantee I'll get you back to the exam hall entrance before the test ends."

Lin Shen fell silent, contemplating a reason to refuse Di Esi.

"Di Esi, it's almost time," Lin Shen hadn't come up with an excuse yet when he heard someone calling Di Esi's name from inside a nearby building.

Turning his head, Lin Shen was taken aback; the person walking out of the building was completely indiscernible, covered in a thick mosaic.

"Teacher, I'll be right there," Di Esi quickly turned to Lin Shen and said, "Lin Shen, come with us, you won't be disappointed."

"I shall respectfully comply," Lin Shen shifted his previous stance, agreeing straightforwardly.

Unexpectedly, he had encountered someone bearing Fire Seed here; even if he couldn't obtain the Fire Seed, he at least needed to understand who this person carrying the Fire Seed really was.
