Super Gene Ⅱ: Evolution

Lin Shen battled with Dou Shi Buddha, who actually only used one hand, while his other hand held a begging bowl and was not used in combat.

Even so, when Lin Shen deployed his Surfing Fist Skill and Finger Sand in unison, he could not gain an upper hand over Dou Shi Buddha.

Although Dou Shi Buddha did not possess the abilities of the Heaven and Celestial Beings Skill, he seemed to have the ability to foresee the future. No matter what move Lin Shen made, Dou Shi Buddha was able to counter in advance. Lin Shen was forced to change his move midway, which would have been extremely uncomfortable for most people.

Lin Shen was uncomfortable too, but he was not impatient. He had experienced failure many times before, unable to master things that others could easily learn.

Therefore, Lin Shen was quite familiar with the feeling of things falling apart halfway through, and did not feel particularly troubled by it.

In the middle of the fight with Dou Shi Buddha, a sudden cracking noise was heard, followed by a loud explosion. Dou Shi Buddha's bowl split into pieces and burst open, and the imposing body of the Holy Shield Dragon squeezed out and rapidly grew larger in the air.

With the begging bowl shattered, Dou Shi Buddha spat out blood. The Holy Shield Dragon charged forward, and with a ferocious swipe of its dragon claw, it struck down at Dou Shi Buddha.

Dou Shi Buddha quickly retreated, but he was not faster than the Holy Shield Dragon. He had to cross his hands to block the dragon's claw.

But the force of that claw was so explosive that it sent Dou Shi Buddha plummeting from the sky.

Dou Shi Buddha smashed into the ground, creating a massive, circular crater, resembling a lunar pit formed by a meteorite strike.

Clearly enraged, the Holy Shield Dragon flapped its six wings and, like a comet, charged towards Dou Shi Buddha in the crater below.

Just as Dou Shi Buddha got up, he had no time to evade and could only extend his hand to recall the black flood dragon formed from a pair of chopsticks. The dragons, one on each side, rushed towards the Holy Shield Dragon in an attempt to stop it.

The Holy Shield Dragon, however, paid no attention to their attack. Three shields around its body released a protective light, and the black flood dragons were repelled upon impact, unable to influence it in the slightest.

Boom!

The Holy Shield Dragon, like a comet, struck the spot where Dou Shi Buddha stood, creating an enormous, deep crater.

Under a large tree on Pet Planet, An Jiahe, who was resting with his eyes closed, suddenly opened them.

"Tri-Life Base," An Jiahe sighed deeply and said calmly.

"Master, what is Tri-Life Base? Could it be that Lin Shen is actually a Three-Rooted Being?" The Immortal Level elder guarding beside him asked with a furrowed brow.

An Jiahe shook his head with a smile, "Uncle Five, you've misunderstood. When I mentioned Tri-Life Base, I was referring to Lin Shen's Three-Headed Dragon pet. It is indeed rare to see a Three-Rooted Being.

"Three-Rooted Beings are extremely rare throughout the universe, with only a handful known to exist. It's surprising that the boy has a Tri-Life Base pet. It might very well be a gift from the Heavenly Emperor," An 5 grunted.

"The Attribute of that Tri-Life Base pet is too strong. Dou Shi Buddha's body can't compete against it. Its interference has indeed given Lin Shen an advantage. However, I have now understood his strength. Despite having extraordinary abilities, his combat experience is lacking and his skills are not systematic. He is not yet a true master," An Jiahe said tranquilly as he stood up: "Let's go. I've grasped his strength, and he could indeed become a problem in the future. It's best to deal with him sooner rather than later."

"The Heavenly Emperor is now favorably disposed towards him, even allowing him to live on Celestial Star. It won't be easy to move against him," An 5 said.

"The reason the Heavenly Emperor favored him so was because he could scavenge resources for the Emperor, so he would certainly still go on missions, and the opportunity would naturally present itself," An Jiahe said with an indifferent look, seemingly already having someone in mind for the task. "However, we can't make a move ourselves, we still need to find a suitable candidate."

The Holy Shield Dragon directly shattered the body of the Dou Shi Buddha, and Lin Shen, who had been thinking about whether he could make the Dou Shi Buddha his pet, naturally had no hope now.

With the death of the Dou Shi Buddha, his chopsticks and prayer beads broke apart, which seemed to suggest that those items were not his Life Base but just a manifestation of some ability he possessed.

The real Life Base of the Dou Shi Buddha must have been his bowl, but, unfortunately, even the bowl was burst open by the Holy Shield Dragon.

"I didn't expect the fighting strength of the Dou Shi Buddha to be so astonishing. It's good that your pet is too strong, otherwise, it would have taken some effort to deal with him," Tian Qingyu flew over and said.

"It is quite interesting indeed," Lin Shen said with a profound gaze, believing that the Dou Shi Buddha's prowess wasn't inherently impressive and that, although the skills had been used discreetly, Lin Shen had still detected traces of manipulation.

On this Pet Planet, aside from themselves, the only others were An Jiahe and his supervisor. If there were no others, then they naturally were the prime suspects.

Unfortunately, even if it really was them, Lin Shen had no way to do anything about it because it was impossible to have any evidence in such a situation.

"If it really is that An Jiahe, his ability to manipulate creatures is indeed interesting," Lin Shen said nothing to Tian Qingyu because it would've been pointless.

An attack by a wild Dou Shi Buddha couldn't possibly be linked to An Jiahe.

The two supervisors from that side also repelled the Jade Fairy and flew over here. Seeing the shattered body of the Dou Shi Buddha, they were both quite surprised.

After all, a pet like the Dou Shi Buddha was extremely rare.

By killing the Dou Shi Buddha, Lin Shen and his group had lost an opportunity, leaving only one person with the chance to obtain a pet.

Such were the rules of Pet Planet, and even Tian Qingyu couldn't change them.

"Brother Tian, since we can't find the Heavenly Machine Beast and I don't have much interest in other pets, what pet do you want? I'll help you find it," Tian Qingyu said to Lin Shen.

"Now that I have this pet, I'm not too interested in others either," Lin Shen said, recalling the Holy Shield Dragon.

"With such a pet, it's extremely rare in the entire universe. Brother Tian, having one like this means you really wouldn't care for other pets," Tian Qingyu could see that the Holy Shield Dragon used a Tri-Life Base and knew Lin Shen was telling the truth. She no longer insisted and continued to search for a creature she took interest in.

Perhaps it was a turn of fortune, but Tian Qingyu actually stumbled upon a Heavenly Machine Beast. It looked like a cute cartoonish sports car, only this one was blue, slightly different from the red Heavenly Machine Beast she had shown him before. Although its speed and strength were considerable, it was no match for the Holy Shield Dragon.

The Holy Shield Dragon, without even using its Life Bases, had subdued the Heavenly Machine Beast.

The defeated Heavenly Machine Beast actually obediently spat out a Pet Key, which Tian Qingyu gladly collected.

Lin Shen felt that his mission was accomplished by helping Tian Qingyu get the pet she wanted. Although he didn't acquire a pet himself, the battle with the Dou Shi Buddha had brought him some gains as well.
