Multi-Gene

Flint growled at David as though annoyed. 

Looking at the surroundings, David didn't see the corpse of the old man anywhere, seems like old man Liu Yin managed to escape.

"Hmm, you truly didn't kill him." David nodded his head but then, his figure flashed as he grabbed hold of the hand, wrestling it from Flint's Jaws.

"I will be taking this." He took off the storage ring from the arm and then threw the arm back at Flint who seen as though it would leap at David in annoyance.

"You did well." David smiled and patted its head softly. But Flint withdrew backwards and growled at him.

David's expression darkened. "Now that you're all grown up, you think I can't pay you anymore?"

"Growl!"

"Fine!" With a huff, David snorted and placed his focus on the ring. After knocking the two other heaven realm experts unconscious, he placed Flint back within his storage ring and left quickly.

Normally, it was impossible to place a living entity within a storage ring, but Flint seems to have breached this rule. It was an undead but even then, it was still living. A true living dead. 

Occasionally, the thunder poison within his body would erupt, delaying him for at least ten seconds.

Rumble!

"Ugh, I need to find a way to solve this quick." If he couldn't get rid of the thunder poison, it would sooner or later be the death of him. He had tried his hardest during the past couple of days, but he wasn't about to suppress the thunder Seed no matter ashy method he used. Therefore David concluded that since he couldn't heal himself off the seed, he needed to find a way to conduct the thunder poison that it would not affect him, but instead assist him during combat.

David's eyes lit up as this idea sounded like a great one. But first, he could feel he was still been chased, if he slowed down to test his idea, the person chasing him might catch up.

The space warped and David steeped forwards, his body vanishing in thin air. Since his body was now very strong, he could withstand steeping into space for a few seconds after which, his body would start to break down in the process. David dated not stay more than 2 seconds. 

His one step through the nodes in space was equivalent to hundreds of kilometers within the real world. But all nodes in space didn't have the same distance and there were some nodes that worked in reverse. Instead of moving a hundred kilometers forwards, his body would be transported backwards by a hundred kilometer instead. 

Recollecting the map, he saw he was getting closer to the route which the academy's ship would take. And according to his calculations, it would require 3 more days for him to meet with them. 

"Let's see what goodies you guys have." David's eyes shone brightly, gazing at the three rings in his hand. He dared not place it within his small world and he had used his mental energy to wrap around the ring. If there was a slight fluctuation of energy, he would notice. 

And all this was done because of Flint! He didn't know what he would do if Flint also got into the three storage rings, but one thing was for sure, he would cry blood. 

David changed his direction, using his vampire body, he masked his senses. Using his ability to control his body, he closed all the pores on his skin and his breathing turned incredibly faint. 

"This should throw them off." David relaxed at the top of a boulder and was about to Check the storage rings when he felt the feeling of being pursued suddenly lock onto him again. 

"What's going on." David frowned slightly. He stood up and headed towards a different direction, while masking his scent breathing pattern and even changing his heat signature to that of a Rattle-frog he had observed not quite long. 

But after several seconds, David's face turned dark. "They are tracking me somehow."

He didn't even know who was pursuing him, even that old lady would be unable to keep up with his several teleportations and would have no choice but to give up. 

But this person was keeping up with his speed and was even closing in on him. 

"Just who is it?" David could feel the lingering scent of death looming over him and he knew he was in grave danger. The air warped and he vanished again. 

Just thirty seconds later, a mini-sized transparent door opened up and a person covered in a hooded robe casually walked out from the void, stepping on the air, instantly, the entire space was been suppressed by his energy!

The wind trembled, and the trees broke in half as they were unable to stand been bent to the ground against their will. 

The person blinked his golden eyes and started at the surroundings. An inhuman chuckle escaped its lips as it said. "You escape very quickly, I'm getting bored of these games already, guess I will have to take you seriously. "

Another transparent door opened and the person moved while the one behind him closed. 

David's muscles trembled and he was about to warp again when he suddenly stopped, his body rigid. "You've been tracking me for a while now."

A transparent door suddenly opened and the nodded figure came out, a faint smile on his lips as he responded. "And you've been running away like a mouse with your tail between your legs little wolf."

"Hahaha." David laughed like a mad man. And he turned around slowly while saying. "Indeed I have, but that was before I knew it was one of my prey… Vather."

BANG! 

An energy wave blasted off from Vather, slamming into the surroundings, totally obliterating everything within a hundred-meter radius, his face warping into that of anger. 

David raised his eyebrows in surprise. Using such an energy blast would have drained at least 50 percent of the energy of an Hexa-gene Phaser.

But David wasn't the least bit intimidated, as the energy wave was about to touch him, a ferocious storm of energy blasted out of him like the roar of a thunder slamming against the incoming wave like a tsunami. 

Booom!!! 

The two energy collided, forming a vortex that distorted space itself! Neither of the energy seen to be winning and eventually, the force cancelled out each other, turning into pure energy that vaporised in space. 

Vather's golden pupils suddenly changed and a ring formed with his eyes as he stepped forwards with a condescending look. "You think you are better than me? Not worth someone who could be under me?"

"But you're just a failure! A country bumpkin who doesn't know the immensity between heaven and earth. 

A frog who can't see beyond the well he's stuck in. I gave you a chance and even broke my rule to give you another chance, but sadly, as the ignorant miscreant you are, you have no idea how rare such an opportunity I've granted to you is.

I bet you're unaware that there are other planets out there and there's a place apart from the continents that is called the OutWorlds. 

I bet you think the real way to get stronger is through genetic mutations and manipulations. Do you even have any idea about nanotechnology apart from your continents crude way of using it as a weapon? 

Have you heard of Bio Nanotech!? Do you know what space is? There's is not even a single institute or academy that studies space and its laws here! This place is completely hopeless!!! And when I gave you the opportunity to work under me, you dare reject me!? "

He growled angrily at David's face, Vather was dumbfounded by his expression. David was gazing at him like he was an idiot, like someone who doesn't know what he was saying. 

Vather sighed softly. "Even the words I'm saying right now is still not assimilating to you and just pouring outwards, like a basket that, unable to hold the vast knowledge I'm impacting onto you."

"If we are talking about experiences, I'm certain I have more than you could ever in twenty lifetimes to come. So I will give you one chance Vather. Serve under me and you will know what true experience really is." 

David chuckled slightly. He had lived two lifetimes and he could say with confidence with all the experiences he had gained during his time here was a thousand times greater than that of Vather, shouldn't he be the one to teach Vather instead and accept him as his disciple? 

Vather was stunned, but he wasn't annoyed at all. His arrogant expression shook his head in pity as he gazed at David. "You are still a country bumpkin. You would certainly not be a threat in the future, but I can't leave that single chance you might become a troublesome person in the future, so I need to kill you."

David snorted. "Isn't that just a groundless purpose ? Giving yourself a righteous motive to get rid of me because you thought me a threat.. I wonder who will die here instead."
