Chapter 1209.
Never underestimate mutant creatures, they are actually very smart and will get smarter and smarter!
These words originated from Ma Wancheng, an academician of the Imperial Supreme Academy of Sciences, this great scientist who had spent his life researching mutant organisms was one of the inventors of the genetic enhancement potion and had vigorously promoted the construction of the Ecological Experiment Star.
For a long time, everyone had regarded mutant creatures as unintelligent lifeforms, used as potion materials and ingredients, like chickens, ducks, cows, and sheep bred in a farm.
However, Academician Ma Wan Cheng had always been wary of mutant organisms, calling on the Empire to strengthen the management and monitoring of the Eco-Experiment Star to prevent mutant organisms from invading the habitable planet.
Although this great scientist had long since passed away, his warnings were still memorized in textbooks, reminding everyone.
And it has been proven that the genes of mutant creatures are not completely under human control, and a very small number of them will evolve and give rise to stronger and smarter individuals.
Normally, once the empire discovered such mutant creatures with the ability to evolve themselves, it would exterminate them at all costs, not giving them any room to survive.
The problem was that due to the great demand for gene-enhancing potions and alienated ingredients, the empire was constantly transforming uninhabited planets into ecological experiment stars.
The types and groups of mutant creatures continued to expand and expand!
Wang Dust was surrounded by dozens of Gray Helmeted Armor Bugs.
They were approaching Wang Dust from all directions, cooperating with each other very well, unhurriedly and tightly, as if they had formed some kind of formation.
These gray-helmeted beetles were waving their blades and limbs, and their sharp teeth were constantly rubbing together to emit a palpitating sound.
They were also exerting invisible pressure on Wang Chen.
In the place of an ordinary third year candidate, facing such a vocalization from the mutant creatures, I’m afraid that he could only ask the invigilator for help as fast as he could, calling for fire support from the near-Earth orbit.
Of course sending out a signal to ask for help would mean that one had voluntarily withdrawn from this examination.
This was certainly not Wang Chen’s choice.
With a sweep of his gaze, he rushed towards the three o’clock direction without thinking, brazenly meeting a gray helmeted beetle with teeth and claws.
At the same time, Wang Chuan stimulated his Spiritual Energy.
His spiritual energy was currently only at the level of a ring, and was still far from the point of interfering with reality, so the power it could exert was very limited.
However, Wang Chen’s utilization and manipulation of his spiritual energy had long been at the highest peak of the realm!
He compressed part of his spiritual energy into the blade of the longsword, and used the other part to enhance his speed and strength, and swung the weapon in his hand the moment he approached his target.
The standard-issue super alloy longsword steeply blossomed into a brilliant sword aura, and straight forward broke through the interception of the Gray Helmeted Beetle’s blade limbs, heavily chopping at the latter’s head.
Wang Chen’s sword did not target the Gray Helmeted Beetle’s weaknesses, and it was completely a head-on confrontation with unrelenting courage.
The sword blade sliced through the Gray Helmeted Armor Bug’s head armor without any stagnation, and then slashed downward with a breakneck momentum, slicing the mutant creature’s head into two halves.
The left and right dimensions were not different!
The Gray Helmeted Armor Bug trembled, and then collapsed to the ground.
Its biggest vital point was its head, and once it was hit hard, it would die immediately, unable to even struggle a little.
In the next moment, Wang Dust rushed into the middle of the two Gray Helmeted Armor Bugs at the back.
He jumped up and avoided the sword limb of a Gray Helmeted Beetle, and swept his right hand longsword across and sliced through the gap in the armor underneath its head.
The gray helmeted beetle’s head immediately flew several meters away.
Wang Chen rolled to the ground and swung his longsword repeatedly, cutting off the feet of another Gray Helmeted Beetle, causing the other party to lose balance and fall down.
Immediately after that, he leaped up again and swung his sword at the fourth Gray Helmeted Beetle.
In just a few seconds, Wang Dust tore a gap in the Gray Helmeted Beetle’s encirclement.
When the nearby Gray Helmeted Armor Bugs rushed over to support him, he switched directions and cut into the already chaotic array of these mutated creatures, once again creating a bloody storm!
After adding spiritual energy, the longsword in Wang Chen’s hand was able to easily break through the armor of the Gray Helmeted Bugs, severing their heads and limbs, and harvesting the lives of these creatures.
Of course, the Gray Helmeted Beetles couldn’t just let Wang Dust slaughter them, and they also tried their best to counterattack, surround Wang Dust, and block Wang Dust without fear of death.
However, even with the absolute numerical superiority, these Gray Helmeted Bugs were still routed by Wang Dust, with severed limbs and insect fluids splattered everywhere, falling down one after another like wheat being cut by a scythe.
Wang Dust sped through the bugs, waving a brilliant and powerful sword, mercilessly tearing apart any enemy close to him, just like a killing machine!
At this moment, 2000 kilometers away from the ground in orbit, in the command room of a Xinhai-class frigate, a holographic screen was constantly changing its picture, playing the real-time scene of one of the candidates.
The frigate’s captain, Zhou Jun, was leaning back in his command chair, drinking the coffee that had just been brought over by his adjutant while watching these live broadcast images.
At the age of forty, Zhou Jun was at the peak of his life, with a resolute, confident and calm appearance, and an extremely mature temperament. The testosterone he invariably exuded made the several female crew members in the command room steal a few glances from time to time.
Drinking his cup of coffee in one gulp and casually setting the porcelain cup aside, Zhou Jun sighed and said, “This Azure Star’s new generation is getting worse every year.”
Ever since all the candidates were dropped onto Planet FT1205, this captain had been monitoring their assessments.
As of now, there were few candidates whose performance had made it into Zhou Jun’s eyes.
The adjutant standing next to him laughed, “My lord, if we compare it to your term, it’s definitely not even comparable!”
Zhou Jun was also from the Azure Star and was a candidate from the year 595 of the Holy Light Calendar.
In this year’s Azure Star Group Higher Martial Examination, a group of true geniuses emerged, and the number of people who entered the Empire’s Seven Universities broke through the historical record, and Zhou Jun was precisely one of them.
Moreover, he had achieved the third best overall score in the Azure Star Cluster!
Today, more than twenty years later, all of these genius candidates from that year, except for those who had fallen by accident, had achieved dazzling results in different fields.
Zhou Jun had become the captain of a New Sea-class frigate at less than forty years of age, and with the rank of Lieutenant Commander, he was undoubtedly counted among the best of them, with not many people being able to compete with him.
When he looked at the performance of these new generation candidates now, he only felt that they were all mediocre and clumsy, which was actually completely normal.
When one’s position stood high, one’s vision would only be higher.
Regarding the adjutant’s jokes, Zhou Jun only shook his head and waved his hand to switch the holographic screen.
After switching three times in a row, the captain, whose expression was becoming increasingly impatient, suddenly stared, as if he had discovered a new continent, with a hint of surprise in his eyes!
