"Final warning. Stop talking nonsense."

Chen Feng swept Wang Yue with a cold gaze. "Just keep up."

"Let's go."

Xu Fei found it rather amusing.

Compete with Chen Feng in the speed of lifting restrictions? Kid, even if your mental energy reached 100 points, it would be useless!

The restriction was lifted.

Everyone left one after another.

Having learned their lesson, no one spoke this time. Even Wang Yue fell silent, quietly following at the back of the group. They made their way smoothly back to the first floor. Any Mutated Beasts they encountered were dealt with by Xu Fei and the others, while every restriction along the way was broken by Chen Feng in an instant.

That was right—in an instant.

Strong mental energy? A Beginner Producer?

What use were they?

Before Chen Feng, they were all a joke!

They charged from the Fourth Layer back to the first floor, and not a single restriction lasted more than a second in Chen Feng's hands. With Xu Fei continuously supplying Mental Recovery Reagents, Chen Feng swept through everything and led them all out safely. All the students looked utterly dumbfounded, which Xu Fei found rather amusing.

Very soon, they left the Ice Crystal Cave.

However.

The moment they left the Mountain Range, everyone was stunned by the sight outside.

Blood!

It was all blood!

That vast expanse of sea had actually turned completely crimson!

"What on earth happened..."

Xu Fei was about to ask something else.

Suddenly.

The mountain behind them began to rumble.

Rumble!

The entire Mountain Range collapsed at that moment. The ceaseless thunderous roars made everyone's hearts pound, and all the students of Senior Year Class 2 broke out in cold sweat.

If they had been even a little slower...

If not for Chen Feng's absurdly fast restriction-breaking speed...

They looked at Chen Feng, the person who had just saved them like a hero. Yet he remained as calm as ever. Perhaps this was what a true genius looked like?

Boom!

The entire mountain collapsed.

Azure ice crystals scattered in every direction. The spot where Dragonfall Mountain had stood caved in, forming a massive vortex like an open maw—grim and terrifying. An enormous mountain range was swallowed whole in mere dozens of seconds!

After the Mountain Range collapsed into a vortex, the enormous island was left with only a massive ring-shaped strip of land. Most terrifying of all, within that vortex, the D-Class Mutated Beast from the Fifth Layer was struggling frantically to escape, yet the vortex held it firmly in its grip.

Roar—

Furious roars rang out one after another.

The D-Class Mutated Beast struggled wildly, but the more it struggled, the deeper it sank. Slowly, it was swallowed by the vortex and vanished.

Everyone sucked in a breath.

Xu Fei and the others stood at the edge of Ring Island, drenched in cold sweat as they watched the scene.

So close!

They had come within a hair's breadth of sharing that Mutated Beast's fate.

"This place won't hold for long."

Zhou Ling said, "Let's get across quickly."

Buzz!

Ice crystal power bloomed in Zhou Ling's hand, and the water beneath their feet turned to ice. But before they could rejoice, all the ice crystals on the surface shattered in an instant.

Boom!

A Mutated Beast with scarlet eyes emerged from the sea.

Glug!

Glug!

A series of strange, grotesque sounds followed.

Then, one terrifying Mutated Beast after another surfaced from the sea. Against the blood-red water, they made everyone tremble in terror.

What the hell was this thing?

"Roar—"

Every mutated beast went mad at the sight of living humans.

Splash!

Splash!

Waves sprayed everywhere.

All the mutated beasts charged toward them. The scent of living humans stimulated these crazed mutated beasts, and their strength kept rising wildly. There were simply too many of them to count!

"Damn it!"

Zhou Ling and the others hurriedly defended themselves.

Flames.

Ice crystals!

They used every power at their disposal, yet they still could not hold them back!

"What do we do?"

Xu Fei roared.

"There are too many. We can't stop them."

Zhou Ling gave a bitter smile.

Boom!

Tieshi punched a flying mutated beast away. His expression remained as cold as ever, while the power throughout his body erupted to its limit. There were simply too many mutated beasts here.

"Damn it."

Xu Fei's heart went cold.

What the hell had happened in this damn place?

No one knew!

These monsters were not strong, but there were far too many of them!

The students trembled under Xu Fei and the others' protection. Some with support-type Gene Abilities cautiously used their powers, but they had no effect at all. This single trial had shattered the pride of all these prospective college students!

"What do we do?"

Many girls sobbed quietly.

Then, Chen Feng suddenly stepped forward. Under Tieshi's protection, he actually walked to the shore, and everyone's eyes instinctively turned toward him.

"Houzi, have you finished counting?"

Chen Feng asked.

"I have."

Houzi nodded slightly. "Over six hundred F-Class Mutated Beasts. Although all of them have gone berserk and their strength has increased drastically, none have reached E-Class. There are just too many of them—we can't handle this."

"Zhou Ling!"

"Blast all the mutated beasts into the seawater!"

Chen Feng shouted.

"Understood."

A frigid light erupted around Zhou Ling. Terrifying freezing power burst forth in that instant, forcibly shoving many mutated beasts that had already approached them back into the sea. But that was all. The mutated beasts suffered no real damage and instead charged at them even more frantically.

"I did my best."

Zhou Ling's face turned deathly pale, and she nearly collapsed to the ground.

Su Jin caught her.

"Then next..."

"Leave it to me."

Chen Feng took a deep breath and hurled a vial glowing with white light into the seawater.

Boom!

White light bloomed.

A cold gleam flickered in Chen Feng's eyes.

Boundless lightning power erupted at that moment. A strange little snake formed from lightning flashed into view, then swelled wildly under the nourishment of some mysterious force within the seawater, unleashing astonishing might beyond even Chen Feng's expectations.

Boom!

Boom!

The Blood Sea churned.

Every mutated beast was scorched inside and out, struggling madly in the seawater. After a long while, when the Electric Light faded, corpses floated across the Blood Sea.

Dead.

All of them were dead!

Even Chen Feng himself had not expected it.

The Thunderstorm Reagent had only possessed the power of an E-Class strike!

The original plan had been for the Thunderstorm Reagent, though powerful, to carve out at most a bloody path through such a large number of Mutated Beasts—enough for them to escape. But he had never imagined that its power in water, especially in this Mysterious Seawater, would far exceed his expectations.

So powerful.

Everyone stared at Chen Feng in shock.

Even Xu Fei and the others were stunned. They had thought Chen Feng was already impressive when he shattered Wang Yue's energy shield and instantly broke the Restriction, but they had never imagined he was this powerful.

This guy...

Xu Fei smiled bitterly.

At that moment.

All the students of Senior Year Class 2 looked at the figure standing on the shore. Chen Feng was not far from them, yet he somehow gave everyone a sense of security. It was this person they had looked down upon who had pulled them from despair several times.

Failed the college entrance exam?

It was practically a joke!

Everyone felt their faces burning with shame.

Chen Feng!

Wang Yue glared fiercely at Chen Feng, roaring inwardly. He refused to believe it. How could Chen Feng possibly possess such strength? That trash! Wang Yue had obtained abundant resources now; he should have surpassed him by far! How could he let that trash lord it over him?

No...

Wang Yue muttered to himself.

It's only because I haven't fused with that gene yet!

Chen Feng, I will become stronger than you—not just in production. Once I fuse with that gene, I will become the strongest Gene Warrior and producer in history!

I will walk the path that ordinary people dare not take!

Wang Yue roared inwardly.

He felt no gratitude whatsoever for Chen Feng saving his life. Being saved by Chen Feng felt even worse than dying! Just a few days ago, he had confidently declared to Chen Feng that he would leave him far behind. Yet today, he had been crushed by him countless times. How could he possibly accept that?

It was worse than death!

The feeling was like Chen Feng repeatedly stomping hard on his face.

I won't lose!

Wang Yue clenched his fists tightly.

However.

At that moment, Chen Feng paid them no attention at all. Instead, he looked toward the opposite shore, where two Black-Clothed People stood, their bodies flickering with intense Mental Fluctuation.

"Houzi."

Chen Feng spoke.

"Understood."

Blue Light bloomed in Houzi's eyes, flickering continuously. He quickly confirmed, "They're behind this. They actually intend to use the entire sea as material to make something!"

"They want to kill everyone!"

Houzi's voice was icy.

"Then take them out."

Killing intent surged in Xu Fei's eyes. "Kill them, and we can survive."

"Let's go!"

Zhou Ling had recovered considerably by then. She rose and stepped forward, her expression cold. "Let's see what these two masterminds really are."
