Super Gene Ⅱ: Evolution - Chapter 1206: A Bet That Isn’t a Bet

Chapter 1206: Chapter 1206: A Bet That Isn’t a Bet

“My identity is actually quite simple, it is the Celestial Court…” Vice Dean An said up to this point and suddenly looked shocked, glancing behind Lin Shen.

But Lin Shen remained unmoved, still focused on Vice Dean An.

Vice Dean An sighed inwardly, “The Dean truly lives up to the title, not stirred by my tactics, managing to hold back from looking back.”

Vice Dean An thought his plan had failed and was about to say something but saw Lin Shen glance back.

Vice Dean An was instantly a bit stunned; earlier Lin Shen hadn’t reacted, and now it was he who hadn’t reacted.

When Lin Shen turned back, Vice Dean An only then realized he missed the chance to escape earlier.

Seeing Vice Dean An’s expression, Lin Shen immediately realized what had occurred, smiling he said, “Sorry, I reacted a bit slow just now and couldn’t coordinate well with you.”

Vice Dean An shook his head helplessly, “Dean, though it’s somewhat regretful, I have no choice but to bid farewell now, until we meet again.”

Saying so, Vice Dean An’s figure shot up into the sky like an illusion, yet just as he ascended, he rapidly descended again.

A gigantic Black Bell descended from the sky, forcing Vice Dean An to land.

“How is the Chaos Bell in your hands, Dean?” Vice Dean An instantly recognized what it was, otherwise he wouldn’t have landed without attempting to force his way through.

“You can try other directions to see if you can escape,” Lin Shen said indifferently.

Vice Dean An shook his head, “Since the Dean already has arrangements, it seems it is indeed difficult for me to get out today.”

“Now can you tell me who you really are?” Lin Shen asked.

“Dean, knowing my identity brings you no benefit, why insist on knowing?” Vice Dean An replied.

“That book of yours, World Unsolved Mysteries, I’ve never quite grasped it. It seems I need you to personally demonstrate it for me.” Lin Shen didn’t draw his sword, stepping with the Surfing Step, he swung a fist towards Vice Dean An.

Now, Lin Shen’s Surfing Fist, after enhancement from the Three Realms Divine Skill, whether in footwork, movement technique, fist techniques, or the power of the fists, had increased many folds over before.

Furthermore, his Attribute was extremely high, when at full power, various Attributes were not inferior to those of an Upper God.

This punch from Lin Shen wasn’t at full power, but the speed and strength were already astonishing.

Vice Dean An’s figure slightly flickered, dodging Lin Shen’s punch, he said with a pained look, “Dean, what is this for, there is nothing we can’t discuss calmly, everything can be negotiated.”

“Let’s talk while we fight then,” Lin Shen increased his power and speed, the Surfing Fist continuously surged, pushing one wave after another wave of crescendos.

Lin Shen’s punching became faster and faster, his footwork also quickening, layer upon layer of Surfing Fist power stacking together, endlessly crashing towards Vice Dean An.

Vice Dean An’s figure was at ease, weaving and moving through the waves of punches as if taking a leisurely stroll.

All his movements were flawlessly impeccable, extremely concise, not a single movement was superfluous; he would not take an extra step even by a millimeter more than necessary.

Each of his blows struck at the most crucial points, actually breaking Lin Shen’s Surfing Fist waves, with the front and rear waves canceling each other out. All these Vice Dean An performed effortlessly, appearing unbothered.

“The Dean’s progress in such a short time is truly rapid, both in Attributes and techniques, they’ve reached a considerable level,” Vice Dean An commented.

“Are you complimenting yourself? Such strong techniques but still unable to handle you,” Lin Shen said composedly.

“That’s not it, we are different, not comparable,” Vice Dean An replied while dealing with Lin Shen’s attacks.

“You mean your Realm is much higher than mine, not even in the same dimension, right?” Lin Shen continued to fiercely advance, yet in techniques, he couldn’t surpass Vice Dean An, nor did he have an advantage in Attributes.

“Dean, how could you think that way? Our Attributes are quite similar, naturally, we’re in the same dimension, and my Realm is not higher than yours. The reason you can’t handle me is not that I’m stronger, but simply because I understand this world better,” Vice Dean An said sincerely.

“What do you mean?” Lin Shen asked amidst the fight.

“I mean, I know more information than you, and I process it relatively faster, so all your actions are within my expectations. Unless you can utilize techniques beyond my information reserve, no matter how well you practice, you can’t defeat me. Of course, there probably isn’t a technique in the current Cosmic scope that exceeds my information reserve,” Vice Dean An explained.

“Are you an Immortal?” Lin Shen could now finally confirm what Vice Dean An was.

He had suspected earlier that Vice Dean An and that weirdo were not ordinary humans. With Vice Dean An’s words, he guessed what was going on with Vice Dean An.

The true intellectual powerhouses are those immortals born from the merger of humans and Smart Brain, whether the First Immortal or Cloud Immortal, their brain calculation capabilities far exceeded human limits.

Cloud Immortal only seemed weak because its physical body was destroyed and then imprisoned at the Treasure Vault’s altar entrance.

If Cloud Immortal still had its body and wasn’t imprisoned, it was uncertain if Lin Shen could kill it.

“You even know about Immortals, does that mean you have recollection of past lives?” Vice Dean An’s eyes lit up.

“No, just heard from others, it seems you indeed are an Immortal as well,” Lin Shen replied.

“Fourth Immortal… Yun Bieli…” Vice Dean An finally revealed his true identity and name.

“Was that bean sprout-looking weirdo also an Immortal?” Lin Shen asked again.

“I can only tell you who I am, please don’t ask anything more, I cannot speak further,” Vice Dean An stated.

“How about this then, let’s make a bet: if you win, I’ll let you go and we’ll consider today as never having met. If I win, you answer all my questions without reservation, how about it?” Lin Shen’s hands did not pause, yet he still couldn’t do anything to Vice Dean An.

“I never gamble,” Vice Dean An’s words made Lin Shen laugh.

“Vice Dean An, aren’t you being a little too ridiculous? At the Celestial Master Institute, you played many card games and board games, I remember there were stakes involved, what do you call that if not gambling?” Lin Shen chuckled.

“Not knowing the process and result is called gambling, knowing both can that still be called gambling?” Vice Dean An replied calmly.

Lin Shen was slightly stunned, only then realizing that Vice Dean An was an Immortal with a super brain, calculating cards and games was too easy, it was simply impossible to lose.

Yet, at the Celestial Master Institute, Vice Dean An was the one who lost the most.

“Didn’t you say no technique can beat you? I’ll bet with you that I won’t use any special abilities, nor rely on brute force, but defeat you purely with techniques within ten moves. According to your logic, that’s not considered a bet, right?” Lin Shen asked.

“It really isn’t,” Vice Dean An replied.

“So, will you bet or not?” Lin Shen inquired.

“Since it’s not a bet, then let’s bet,” Vice Dean An responded with a smile.
