Yujiang University.
Ding Huan shouldered his bag once again. He planned to take out the Washing Blade Association first, then make a trip to Kunlun Mountain.
"Mr. Ding, what do I need to do?" Kong Dan had accompanied Ding Huan all the way to the school gates, knowing Ding Huan couldn’t possibly stay at Yujiang University for long.
Ding Huan patted Kong Dan on the shoulder, "All you have to do is practice hard. Remember, the Wind Blade Skill I taught you, never use it on innocent people."
In the past few days, Ding Huan had provided Kong Dan with Quality Gene Potions to enhance his attributes. Not only that, but he also imparted to Kong Dan the Qianluo Gene Technique, basic long fist, and a set of blade skills.
Compared to Fang Chong and the others, this time Ding Huan specifically taught Kong Dan the Wind Blade Skill.
Ever since he came out of Qianluo Mountain, he had felt the Genetic Beasts becoming increasingly rampant and fierce, so he had to pass on some offensive techniques to Kong Dan.
"Rest assured, Mr. Ding, I will strictly follow your instructions," Kong Dan replied seriously, having spent a lot of time at the Security Department.
Ding Huan laughed, "Stop calling me Mr. Ding, I’m only nineteen, much younger than you. Just call me by my name, Ding Huan."
"The great one can be a mentor. My entire Cultivation is taught by you. In my eyes, you are my teacher and my martial arts mentor," Kong Dan answered earnestly.
"Forget it, whatever you prefer. I’m off, farewell." Ding Huan waved his hand. The Gene Alliance’s fleet would leave Earth in about a year, and Ding Huan still intended to take this fleet to leave.
Whether he could return to Changyi Continent was a matter of luck. In order not to derail his original trajectory, Ding Huan hadn’t planned to change too much for now.
...
Luohuan Building, Lu River City.
Yuan Youzhen, the Vice Chairman of the Washing Blade Association who had just returned from Pei City with his men, felt somewhat weary, as there had been an unusually high number of deaths in the Association recently.
However, the Association’s income in recent times could almost be described as printing money.
Genetic Beasts had gone mad in the past few months, continuously creating disastrous beast waves across various locations.
More than ten cities had been wiped out by these beast waves, and the Washing Blade Association specialized in such doomsday profiteering.
Whenever a city was about to be struck by a beast wave, the Washing Blade Association would be the first to arrive, claiming to defend the city against the beasts and gaining trust.
As soon as the beast wave began its assault, the Washing Blade Association would immediately begin pillaging unsuspecting residents.
At such times, no one would care about their actions, nor would anyone be able to intervene.
As beast waves continued to devour cities, who wouldn’t want to flee quickly?
Once order broke down, the Washing Blade Association could do as they pleased. They looted, killed, and plundered without restraint. They not only stole from residents but even robbed banks.
Wherever they robbed, they never left any survivors.
The traces of the numerous atrocities they caused would be completely obliterated once the beast wave swept through the city.
While this ill-gotten wealth came quickly, it also came with a price. In addition to resistance from the locals, lingering too long meant facing the onslaught of the beast wave.
To rob and destroy evidence, they were usually the last to leave the disaster-stricken cities.
Previously, the Washing Blade Association cared about their brothers. However, with an endless flow of wealth, they no longer had such concerns.
People were dying all the time, and in this world, there were plenty of homeless and starving people. They could use their wealth to attract a continuous supply of individuals desperate enough to risk their lives for them.
Just as Yuan Youzhen sat down, one of his subordinates came in a hurry to report, "Vice Chairman Yuan, we’ve located Ding Xiaotu. He’s at the entrance of Yujiang University..."
Yuan Youzhen was the Vice Chairman of the Washing Blade Association, but in Lu River City, he reigned like a king.
In Lu River City, everyone called him Chairman, no one daring to append the word "vice" in front of it.
Even with this kind of profiteering from various cities, whatever Yuan Youzhen’s members looted was kept by him.
As for how much would be handed over to the main branch in the future, that was up to Yuan Youzhen to decide.
"Ding Xiaotu?" Having made a fortune recently, Yuan Youzhen didn’t immediately recall who Ding Xiaotu was.
"That’s Ding Huan. He killed several of our people before," the subordinate quickly clarified respectfully.
"Snap, this guy dares to return to Lu River? He really has guts. Hehe, the Gene Alliance hasn’t managed to catch him until now, which is quite impressive. Notify everyone immediately, head to the top-floor meeting room."
Once Yuan Youzhen remembered Ding Xiaotu, he became excited on the spot.
He wasn’t thrilled about avenging his fallen members by killing Ding Xiaotu, but rather excited about the secrets that Ding Xiaotu held.
In just a few months, Ding Xiaotu had cultivated three students who placed in the top five in the assessments at the Blue Star Ten Great Colleges, with a genetic potion that seemed to defy the natural order.
In these chaotic times, if he could control such a genetic potion, then...
The more Yuan Youzhen thought about it, the more excited he became. Wasn’t the Gene Alliance’s warrant for Ding Xiaotu issued because of this genetic potion?
Who could have imagined, the Gene Alliance failed to capture Ding Xiaotu, yet he ended up being cornered by Yuan Youzhen in Lu River.
So he had to arrange this operation flawlessly and not let Ding Xiaotu escape again.
Although Yuan Youzhen no longer cared about his underlings as before, with the recent wealth, each of his subordinates was making a fortune.
At this moment, Yuan Youzhen demanded everyone to go to the top-floor conference room for a meeting, which was nearly a matter of minutes, so the leaders of the Washing Blade Association in Lu River City were all gathered in the meeting room.
Yuan Youzhen cut straight to the point, "Everyone knows how difficult genetic cultivation is, and I believe you all are aware of how three students from Yujiang University became gene cultivators in just three months.
Yes, it’s that Ding Xiaotu. Right, he has changed his name to Ding Huan. This Ding Huan has a genetic potion that can make anyone a top-level gene cultivator.
Now, Ding Huan has appeared at Yujiang University, and this time our Washing Blade Association absolutely cannot let this person slip away."
Upon hearing that Ding Huan had shown up at Yujiang University, everyone got excited.
Who among the people here hasn’t killed a few innocents?
In their eyes, killing Ding Huan to seize the quality gene potion he possessed was a no-brainer, it was simply taken for granted.
Moreover, by killing Ding Huan, each of them could become a revered gene cultivator, what an exciting thing was that?
"Chairman, please give your orders, we will not let this person get away," Yan He, the most loyal hound of Yuan Youzhen at the Washing Blade Association, was the first to step forward and make a stand.
With Yan He’s pledge, the others stood up one after another to express their stance.
"Very well, my plan is this, Yan He, you take..."
"Your idea is so-so, but I think it’s better to let me come over myself, don’t you think?" Ding Huan’s voice interrupted Yuan Youzhen.
"You..." Yuan Youzhen, seeing Ding Huan standing at the door, was at a loss for words for a moment.

"Ding Huan?" Feng Yu, however, was the first to react, because after Li Xing and Chang Chongjin were killed, it was he who had been tracking Ding Huan.
"Are you Ding Huan?" Yuan Youzhen couldn’t believe his eyes as he looked at Ding Huan at the door. Could this guy possibly be that audacious?
"Correct, I am Ding Huan." Ding Huan said with a smile as he walked in.
Yan He raised his gun almost reflexively, not to kill Ding Huan but to injure him and then take control of the situation.
If Ding Huan could teach three formidable students, he must surely be a gene cultivator himself.
"Pfft!" As soon as Yan He’s hand was raised, a spurt of blood jetted out, and his hand, along with the pistol, fell to the ground.
Blood exploded, instantly soaking Yan He in red.
Ding Huan approached Yuan Youzhen and said, "Back when I visited the headquarters of Pu Hai Gene Alliance, some dared to point guns at me, and they all died later."
"You did that?" Yuan Youzhen suddenly realized and pointed at Ding Huan, terrified.
The Pu Hai Gene Alliance headquarters had been massacred overnight, but no one knew who had done it.
Now, he understood that it was the work of Ding Huan.
The Washing Blade Association considered itself quite powerful, but that was only true for ordinary people, or for some genetic superpower users and martial artists. The Washing Blade Association wasn’t afraid of them at all.
But when faced with someone who could annihilate the Genetic Alliance, the Washing Blade Association was far out of its depth.
"Mr. Ding, I, Yuan Youzhen, deserve to die for daring to entertain the thought of going after you..."
Yuan Youzhen was outright bashful, standing up to apologize.
What he didn’t know was that Ding Huan’s divine will had long since detected the movement of his fingers behind his back.
With a flick of Ding Huan’s hand, a wind blade swept out, cutting two Washing Blade Association members hiding in the corner of the conference room protecting Yuan Youzhen into four pieces.
Two guns also fell into the pool of blood.
Blood flowed everywhere, and Yuan Youzhen felt his legs give way, collapsing to the ground.
"Make a call and notify all the Washing Blade Association members in Lu River to come here," Ding Huan said as he kicked Yuan Youzhen further away and then sat in Yuan Youzhen’s seat.
He had learned from the lesson of Qu Yi’s misfortune; this time, he was determined to leave no stone unturned.
Hesitant? No such thing.
Even the lowest member of the Washing Blade Association wouldn’t be spared.
No one responded to Ding Huan’s words, and no one made any calls.
Growing impatient, Ding Huan raised his hand and sent out a few wind blades, directly cleaving several Washing Blade Association members in half.
"Quickly, my patience is limited," Ding Huan commanded sharply.
"Brother Ding, if I make the call, could you spare my life?" Yan He, who had only one hand left, asked pale-faced.
He felt like his death was certain today.
"If you make the call, I won’t annihilate your whole family. If you don’t, I’ll wipe them all out, clean," Ding Huan said mockingly.
Killing Yan He’s family had never crossed Ding Huan’s mind, but he felt it necessary to threaten those like Yan He this way.
"I’ll call..." Yan He’s face got even paler.
"Remember, if one person is missing, your entire family is gone," Ding Huan snorted.
