Exotic Humans? Before a True Genius, They're Nothing but Ants

"Buzz--"

A whooshing sound rang out.

A thick black fog, blotting out the sky, surged towards Lin Zichen and Shen Qinghan.

Lin Zichen didn't even move. He simply had a thought and his blood energy exploded on the spot, generating a terrifying Blood Qi Gale to clash with it.

Soon.

A loud "boom" was heard.

The two powerful air currents collided violently, unleashing a terrifying aftershock.

In an instant, the area within a kilometer radius was affected.

Plants and trees broke, soil splattered and stones flew.

Even some of the Advanced Being that were nearby were thrown out and rolled hundreds of meters away.

Many powerful figures in the vicinity felt the strength of this aftershock and immediately turned their heads to look over.

About a few seconds later.

The aftershocks subsided, and the dust settled.

The dense black aura was devoured by the extremely aggressive blood energy, revealing a man whose body had been reduced to a skeleton by the blood energy, standing swaying precariously in place.

A Biological Rank- level Exotic Human the Land of Extinction perished on this battlefield.

His face was unrecognizable; he died with his eyes wide open in disbelief.

Everyone was shocked to see this.

Especially those who know Lin Zichen.

Seeing that Lin Zichen had killed a Rare mid-level Land of Extinction Exotic Human with just one move of releasing his Qi and Blood, everyone was shocked and questioned their own existence.

What happened?

What exactly happened?

He's only been in the Origin Land for less than six months, how come he possesses such formidable strength?

This is so weird!

Everyone was baffled and couldn't understand how Lin Zichen had managed to do that.

Lin Zichen ignored the shock of those around him.

He quickly raised his hand towards the skeleton in front of him.

With a thought, he drew it to his hand from a distance.

"Devour!"

Lin Zichen silently recited in his heart.

Immediately afterwards, a notification message flashed in the Void.

[Absorption failed; there is no absorbable Alien Race Life Origin within the target's body]

Lin Zichen glanced at the contents of the message.

Hmm, it can't be swallowed, just like last time.

The Exotic Human are human, not Alien Race. They do not possess the Life Origin of Alien Race and therefore cannot trigger the [survival of the Survival of the Fittest] effect.

What a pity.

If only Exotic Human could also devour...

Lin Zichen coveted the abilities of the Exotic Human from the Land of Extinction.

Putting everything else aside, its ability to transform into a cloud of black mist that blots out the sky and surges forth looks incredibly powerful.

"Let's go ahead and loot the corpse."

Lin Zichen didn't linger. He took out an Energy Core from the skeleton of the Exotic Human from the Land of Extinction and quickly spoke to Shen Qinghan beside him.

Possessing the power of the Survival of the Fittest, he now only desires to devour large quantities of Alien Race Life Origin to further enhance his own strength.

While we're at it, let's see if we can find any storage bags or something similar on the corpse.

"The fighting over there is too intense. Wouldn't it be dangerous for us to go there rashly?"

Shen Qinghan was cautious and didn't want to take the risk.

Lin Zichen dismissed it. "It's alright. With my current strength, I'll be fine as long as I don't encounter any Epic- level creatures."

Shen Qinghan nodded after hearing this and said, "Let's go then."

She chose to trust Lin Zichen, believing that he wouldn't put her in a dangerous situation.

The front lines of the battlefield.

Hundreds of Rare Tier powerhouses clashed fiercely, causing the heavens and earth to change color and triggering various natural disasters.

Flood.

Dust storm.

Ground subsidence.

A world of ice and snow.

Flames spread...

These perceived natural disasters were all the work of Rare Tier and powerful individuals.

The powerful beings, with their ability to manipulate the elements, transformed the entire battlefield into a terrifying apocalypse.

As soon as Lin Zichen approached these disasters, notification messages kept popping up in the Void.

[You are experiencing a flood, and you have successfully survived it. Survival of the fittest Achievement completion progress +1]

[You are experiencing a sandstorm. You have successfully survived the sandstorm. Survival of the fittest Achievement completion progress +1]

[You are experiencing a sinkhole. You have successfully survived the sinkhole. Survival of the fittest Achievement completion progress +1]

[...]

[Total Survival Attempts: 35/100]

One notification message after another popped up.

Soon, Lin Zichen was pleasantly surprised to find that his Achievement in achieving the "survival of the fittest" achievement had soared to more than halfway.

At this rate of improvement, it won't be long before I complete this Achievement and obtain the long-awaited Biological Attribute— [Survival of the Fittest].

Lin Zichen felt slightly encouraged by this.

After calming myself down a bit.

Lin Zichen led Shen Qinghan deeper into the front lines of the battlefield, relentlessly devouring any corpses they encountered along the way.

[You have devoured a large amount of the Life Origin of the "Heat-Poison Demon Frog," gaining the Biological Attribute "Heat Poison."]

[Heat Poison: Your skin can secrete a volatile toxin that can melt the organs of the poisoned person]

[You have devoured the Life Origin of a large number of "Bone Worm," gaining the Biological Attribute "Hard Bone."]

[Hard Bone: Your bones Indestructible]

[You have absorbed a large amount of the Life Origin of the "Nether God Fish," gaining the Biological Attribute "Absolute Focus."]

[Absolute Focus: Your focus level will be significantly improved]

[...]

As Lin Zichen devoured the Life Origin.

Shen Qinghan, who was standing to the side, was not idle. She kept looting the corpses and collecting the spoils of war.

I didn't touch it much.

I hardly saw any storage items.

There were only some small, miscellaneous items.

On the battlefield, few people would risk their entire fortune.

Because if they were to die in battle, the resources would simply go to the enemy.

"Lin Zi, there are city people being besieged over there, we need to go and rescue them!"

Shen Qinghan saw a woman ahead being attacked by dozens of vines, being forced to retreat and seemingly about to collapse, so she quickly called out to Lin Zichen beside her.

Upon hearing the sound, Lin Zichen immediately looked ahead and saw the city dweller that Shen Qinghan had mentioned.

She is a woman who still retains her charm.

She looks to be about 40 years old.

Its Biological Rank is as high as Rare Tier 5.

If he were on Earth, he could take on 1000 Yuan Dongzhi.

However, on this battlefield, it was being beaten so badly that it was powerless to resist and was about to perish.

Seeing that the woman was about to collapse, Lin Zichen immediately used [Higher Spirit], [Lord of the Forest], and the newly acquired [Absolute Focus] to control the vines from a distance of over a thousand meters, stopping them from attacking the woman.

The woman, who had been prepared to die on the battlefield, was taken aback when the surrounding vines suddenly stopped attacking.

But soon, she realized that it was Lin Zichen who had taken control of the vines.

She is extremely sensitive to Mental Power, and can sense even the slightest fluctuation of Mental Power from a distance of thousands of meters.

"Thank you for saving me."

The woman flew to Lin Zichen in a few seconds and landed in front of him, looking very grateful.

After saying that, she praised, "Indeed, heroes have emerged from among the young since ancient times. Lin's talent for evolution is so extraordinary that anyone who sees it would pale in comparison and feel inferior. At only around 20 years old, her strength already far surpasses that of me, a centenarian who was once hailed as a genius girl. Witnessing it with my own eyes today has truly broadened my horizons. I can die without regrets."

Why does this person speak in such a formal, literary way...?

Lin Zichen thought to himself, but said aloud, "You flatter me, senior."

"No praise."

The woman shook her head and continued, "Lin's talent is unprecedented; perhaps only the immortal masters who survived from the Age of Gods can compare to you."

Immortal Masters of the Age of Gods...

Lin Zichen heard this keyword again.

Apart from Qi Qingmo, he had never seen any other immortal masters from the Age of Gods, which made him very curious about this mysterious group.

"Let me introduce myself. I am Guo Caidie, the current president of Kyoto University."

The woman first gave a brief self-introduction, then invited, "If I am still alive after the great battle, I will visit you to express my gratitude."

Benefactor?

Lin Zichen found it strange and said, "Senior, there's no need to be so polite."

Guo Caidie shook her head and said, "You saved my life. This isn't a matter of being polite; it's an act of kindness."

Lin Zichen didn't know how to respond.

His act of helping was merely a casual gesture, and he didn't need to repay the other party at all.

Guo Caidie added, "By the way, I have a great-grandson Li Moyu. He is also a student at Shanhai University and is in the same year as my benefactor. I wonder if my benefactor knows my great-grandson? If he does, I will bring him to visit and express my gratitude."

"Um... I was in the same class as Li Moyu when I was a freshman."

Shen Qinghan said weakly, somewhat introverted.

Upon hearing this, Guo Caidie, a mature woman still possessing considerable charm, immediately smiled and said, "Then I will bring my great-grandson with me to pay our respects."

After uttering those words, Guo Caidie flashed forward and charged into the battlefield to continue fighting.

Watching the other person's departing figure, Shen Qinghan felt a little unsteady. "I never expected that auntie was the president of Kyoto University, and also Li Moyu's great-grandmother."

Lin Zichen: "Indeed, he looks very young; you can't tell he's a centenarian at all."

Shen Qinghan shook her head and said, "It's not about age, it's about the fact that the other party is the president of Capital University, and that he was so respectful to us."

"You know, two years ago, we were just ordinary high school students, completely unknown."

"And now, only two years later, even the president of Capital University has to respect us. It feels really incredible."

Shen Qinghan subconsciously still felt that she was just an ordinary person, and she felt very magical when she was praised so highly.

Ultimately, it's because their status rose too quickly.

In just two short years, it surged from the bottom to the top.

It wouldn't be an exaggeration to say that the changes happened in an instant.

In contrast, Lin Zichen didn't feel anything.

He has always been clear about his potential and had long anticipated that this day would come.

"Lin Zi, there are people being attacked over there too. Let's go and help them!"

Shen Qinghan pointed to the left and said.

Lin Zichen glanced at them, and the next second he appeared a thousand meters away in a flash. He killed three Rare Tier Exotic Human from the Land of Extinction with a Black Tiger Heart Strike, and took out a fist-sized core from their bodies.

Exotic Beast have Beast Core, and so do Exotic Human; both are essentially Source Crystal Energy Core.

"Truly a prodigy..."

The young man rescued by Lin Zichen muttered to himself, his face filled with disbelief.

He appears to be an 18-year-old youth, but his actual age is 35. He was a member of the team of geniuses of the Exotic Human Tier back then, and his current Biological Rank is the Rare Tier 4.

Back then, among the group of Exotic Human Tier geniuses, his strength ranked in the top three.

Furthermore, five years after leaving the team and graduating, it rapidly evolved into Rare Tier 4, attracting much attention in the city, and is expected to evolve into Epic- level creature before it turns one hundred years old.

Yet, even with such genius, he was now like a helpless kindergarten student in front of Lin Zichen, a newcomer, utterly weak.

After killing the three Rare Tier Exotic Human from the Land of Extinction, Lin Zichen didn't even glance at the person he had saved before turning around and flashing back to Shen Qinghan's side.

He had barely returned, and had only been gone for less than two seconds, when Shen Qinghan called out again, "Lin Zi, I see Instructor Lan and the others!"

"They're over there, enveloped by a huge cloud of black mist!"

"Let's send it over quickly!"

At this moment, Shen Qinghan was like a battlefield savior, rushing to rescue anyone in danger she saw.

The only drawback was that it was always Lin Zichen who rushed to the rescue.

Lin Zichen didn't care at all.

He is now confident that he can defeat any enemy on the battlefield, as long as he doesn't encounter Epic- level powerhouse.

Under these circumstances, if we have the ability to save our compatriots, then we should naturally do so.

"Buzz!"

A piercing whooshing sound was heard as it approached.

Lin Zichen grabbed Shen Qinghan by the waist and carried her at lightning speed toward the distant black mist to rescue Lan Tianbai and the others.

Incidentally, kill the Land of Extinction Exotic Human hiding in that black mist and obtain Source Crystal.

As Lin Zichen and Shen Qinghan sped forward.

Below the black fog.

Lan Tianbai did his best to lead his troops in resistance, looking for an opportunity to escape.

"Qianxue, can you freeze the black mist? Just a few seconds will do!"

Lan Tianbai shouted to Luo Qianxue, whose front half of her body had transformed into elemental form.

That black mist in the sky was too troublesome. Even with his Rare Tier Biological Rank, along with Zhao Qingxian and Zhang Tao, who were also Rare Tier, and the rest of the team, they were still unable to defeat it.

The only chance for survival now rests with Luo Qianxue, who is an Exotic Human.

If Luo Qianxue can use her elemental transformation ability to freeze the black mist and delay it for a moment, Lan Tianbai can lead everyone to escape.

Upon hearing Lan Tianbai's words, Luo Qianxue desperately deepened her elemental transformation state, trying to freeze the black mist in the sky with her body.

Unfortunately, several attempts all ended in failure.

The difference in Biological Rank is too great.

Luo Qianxue's Biological Rank is only Advanced Tier 7.

The Exotic Human from the Land of Extinction within the black mist possessed a Biological Rank as high as the Rare Tier 4.

Faced with such a huge gap in strength, Luo Qianxue simply couldn't challenge someone of a higher level.

"Interesting. I didn't expect to find someone from the Northern Snow Realm here. I just wonder why you've become one of the Earthling."

A hoarse voice came from within the black mist.

As soon as the words were spoken, a terrifying giant hand reached out from the black mist and slammed down on the crowd below.

It's over!

Faced with the overwhelming suppression, Lan Tianbai and the others all showed despair.

Just then--

"Buzz!"

A whooshing sound suddenly rang out.

The next instant, a monstrous surge of blood energy rushed forth, crashing directly towards the descending giant hand.
