Super Gene Ⅱ: Evolution

Chapter 281: Chapter 281 Celestial Descent

Tian Xun was secretly watching the battle through the equipment she had previously installed on Razor Fang Island.

She knew that Lin Shen must possess a special innate skill, for without the items she had given him, it would have been impossible for him to defeat Cosimo without Ascension.

Yet, watching Lin Shen dart and weave through the sky as if on flat ground, making it difficult for Cosimo to land, still caught Tian Xun by surprise.

“What kind of innate skill is this? It’s quite interesting. I never thought that Razor Fang Island, chosen by me, would be so suited to Lin Shen’s innate skill. It has truly become his home court. A Mutator up against an Ascender, and he even has the aerial advantage— who would believe that?” Tian Xun now somewhat understood why Lin Shen insisted on not undergoing Ascension—he indeed had his own reasons.

“Mutators have far less stamina than Ascenders. In such a fight, Lin Shen shouldn’t be able to last too long. What other abilities does he have?” Relying solely on this ability to kill Cosimo seemed unlikely, and Tian Xun was now very interested to know what other special abilities Lin Shen had.

Tian Xun thought that Lin Shen wouldn’t last much longer, and Cosimo also believed Lin Shen couldn’t hold out for long, which is why he bided his time.

He planned to wait until Lin Shen was exhausted before making his move.

Spatial Fist Power, along with efficient stacking ability and aerial borrowing techniques, made Cosimo realize that Lin Shen was not an ordinary Mutator.

“No wonder Tian Xun took a special interest in him—he truly does have remarkable qualities. It’s just a shame that he’s only practiced Evolution Theory, otherwise he could become a serious problem in the future. But he has no future; he’s a dead man today,” Cosimo wasn’t in a hurry; Tian Xun had gone inside Giant Ring Star and wouldn’t be able to return any time soon.

However, things turned out somewhat unexpected for Cosimo. Lin Shen continuously launched his Surfing Triple Punch in the air, each time sending Cosimo flying higher, preventing him from descending.

Strangely enough, despite the ferocity of the fist power, Lin Shen kept unleashing it without the slightest sign of fatigue, as if it were inexhaustible.

“Damn it, he has a skill for quick recovery of strength. How can this guy’s skills be so weird!” Cosimo immediately realized the problem.

Tian Xun had thought of it even earlier—Lin Shen must have a skill for quickly recovering strength; otherwise, continuously unleashing the Triple Fist would have long since worn him out.

“Quite a pleasant surprise,” thought Tian Xun, feeling more and more that aside from his rather ordinary practice of the Evolution Skill, his repertoire of skills was quite peculiar and unconventional.

The ability to step on air, it seemed, would not be very useful after Ascension, but Tian Xun knew that this skill still had its uses, even being very significant at the Nirvana Level.

In many habitats of Nirvana Creatures where flying is prohibited, ordinary flight abilities can easily be suppressed. Lin Shen’s air-stepping ability might not be of much use at the Ascender stage, but later on, at the Nirvana Level, it would be greatly beneficial.

This made Tian Xun suspect that Lin Shen had a high-level mentor guiding him; otherwise, why would he choose a talent that, in the eyes of others, was weak early on and seemingly useless?

Cosimo, being pummeled by punch after punch from Lin Shen, was already furious.

The intensity of each hit from the Triple Fist was enough to kill an average Ascender, causing Cosimo great discomfort. Although it didn’t injure him, each blow made it difficult for him to return to the ground, and it was especially frustrating since he could do nothing but take the hits without retaliating.

With a thought, Cosimo took out a pet handgun and fired continuously at Lin Shen, spawning several Ascension Pets in an instant.

Lin Shen was only able to maintain distance and aerial advantage due to his air-stepping, but his speed was not very fast. As several flying pets charged at Lin Shen, even if he managed to deal with the flying pets, Cosimo would have the chance to land and would no longer be in such a passive position.

The only thing frustrating Cosimo was that none of his pets had wings.

He had never thought that flying Ascension Pets without wings would be a disadvantage, so he hadn’t made a dedicated effort to acquire a winged Ascension Pet.

If he had a winged Ascension Pet now, he would be able to ride it while chasing down Lin Shen.

Cosimo, after launching his Ascension Pets, suddenly found that Lin Shen’s speed had also increased, becoming even faster than the launching speed of the Ascension Pets. He easily dodged the pets’ collision.

He didn’t bother with those pets and continued to chase after Cosimo, bombarding him with Triple Fists.

“Damn it, this guy is too cunning, hiding an acceleration skill!” Cosimo watched as his Ascension Pets fell to the ground, posing no threat to Lin Shen, filled with both shock and rage.

Now he somewhat regretted following Lin Shen into the air. Although Lin Shen hadn’t truly injured him, the feeling was too uncomfortable, completely frustrating.

“How many skills does he actually have?” Tian Xun was equally surprised.

The skills displayed by Lin Shen included the ability to walk on air, rapid recovery of strength, acceleration, and quick wound healing.

Generally speaking, a Mutator should have at most three Innate Skills, which made Tian Xun realize that something might be wrong with Lin Shen’s Innate Skills.

“Could it be that among his skills, some are not Innate Skills but are acquired skills like the Surfing Fist?” Tian Xun pondered in her heart.

Cosimo knew he couldn’t wait for the moment when Lin Shen’s strength would be exhausted. The carapace on his head lit up, resembling a crown, with light cascading down, bathing his carapace as if in the glow of dawn.

When Lin Shen launched another Triple Fist at him, Cosimo didn’t use his scepter to smash through the Fist Power; instead, he punched directly at the Triple Fist Power coming from below.

The Triple Fist Power, resembling a terrifying wave, was forcefully torn apart by Cosimo’s punch. The shockwave reached him, but it was dissipated by the glow on the carapace, unable to push his body up again.

Cosimo’s body quickly descended toward the ground, and it wouldn’t be long before he landed.

Suddenly, Lin Shen crossed through the air, appearing below Cosimo, and from below, launched another Triple Fist.

“Seeking death!” Cosimo, not alarmed but pleased, slammed an Imperial Kill Fist downward, tearing apart Lin Shen’s Triple Fist. The powerful shockwave was also unable to push his body upward.

Lin Shen twisted his body and circled to Cosimo’s back, delivering another Surfing Triple Strike, this time from an oblique angle above, targeting the back of Cosimo’s head.

Cosimo snorted coldly, counterattacking with another Imperial Kill Fist. The power of his fist tore through the Triple Fist Power, creating a terrifying shockwave that sent Lin Shen’s body flying out.

Suddenly, Cosimo felt as if his body was bound by something, and felt a tightness around his neck, as if something had wrapped around it, hung up like a hanging, he was slung into the sky.

After being flung up, Cosimo noticed that Lin Shen now held a red Crystal Rope in his hand.

“This guy really has a lot of strange things!” Cosimo, both shocked and angry, knew the Crown of the King had a limited duration, and he had to quickly return to the ground.

“Lin Shen, I’m going to kill you.” Watching as Lin Shen charged at him again, Cosimo could no longer bear it, his intent to kill Lin Shen reaching its peak.

In the next instant, Cosimo’s body radiated a golden glow, as if an indistinct golden spirit overlaid his body.

Cosimo, who had been forbidden to fly, suddenly took flight, turning into a dreadful stream of golden light, reaching Lin Shen in an instant.

“It’s over, Celestial Descent also has the effect of breaking restrictions…” Seeing this scene, Tian Xun’s face changed dramatically. She had not known that Celestial Descent had such a function.
