Super Gene Hunting Ground

Dark Forest is surrounded by mountains on three sides, only the east side opens to the ocean.

This ocean is called Wuji Sea, and in its center, there is a mountain known as Wuji Mountain, also called Wuji Island, which spans a vast area.

Wuji Academy has existed for thousands of years.

On Dwarf Star, there are ten large clans, among them Thanos Saint of the Netherworld Clan, and the Wuheng Clan from which Yang Xiao once collected Wu Dai’s soul.

The ten clans each operate independently, yet they merge with each other.

Besides these, there are hundreds more other clans on Dwarf Star.

Each of the ten clans has its own Genetic Evolution Academy, dedicated to training their clan members, and they do not recruit externally.

Wuji Academy on Wuji Island does not belong to any single clan; instead, it recruits Genetic Evolution talents from across the Dwarf Star Continent, making it an ideal place for small clan Genetic Evolvers to cultivate.

The number of Genetic Evolvers practicing at Wuji Academy reaches around one hundred thousand.

Wuji Academy is quite famous throughout the Dwarf Star.

Yang Xiao’s warship landed on a vast airfield on Wuji Island, where hundreds of various types of warships and transport ships, and flying devices are stationed, with continuous take-offs and landings.

Black Wood said:

”Most of these are just like you, here for cultivation at Wuji Academy.”

Leaving the crew with the warship, Black Wood, Yang Xiao, along with Fan Chen and Wanyan Bai, walked toward the distant gate of Wuji Academy.

Yang Xiao looked into the distance, where a massive blue Defense Light Screen, hundreds of meters high, enveloped the entire Wuji Academy to the horizon.

While walking, Black Wood explained:

”The Defense Light Screen of Wuji Academy can block primary-level Emperor Realm experts. The academy is entirely enveloped by the Defense Light Screen, with twelve entrances and exits,

Both students and teachers at Wuji Academy have an Identity Jade Pendant, which allows them to open the gates in the Defense Light Screen and freely access it,

The ocean surrounding Wuji Island spans over ten thousand kilometers wide, teeming with various Super Demon Beasts. Unless absolutely necessary, don’t attempt to fly over Wuji Sea alone—it’s very dangerous….”

The four of them talked as they walked, arriving at the main entrance of Wuji Academy.

Outside the main entrance lies a plaza, where hundreds of people are queuing to enter the academy.

Fan Chen exclaimed:

”So many people! How long will we have to wait in line?”

Black Wood laughed,

”Follow me.”

Yang Xiao and the other two followed Black Wood to another entrance outside the main gate, where four guards were stationed.

Black Wood stepped forward, took out a blue Jade Pendant, and handed it over,

”Brothers, you’ve worked hard!”

The gate guards took the blue Jade Pendant from Black Wood, infused it with Genetic Evolution Energy, causing it to emit a blue glow that revealed some symbols.

The guard’s face instantly displayed a friendly smile.

”Are you an alumni?”

”Indeed, I graduated and left ten years ago. Today I am bringing along a brother, and I’ve already informed Vice Dean Deng.”

As Black Wood spoke, he gestured to Yang Xiao beside him.

Yang Xiao quickly returned the smile.

The guard, upon hearing Black Wood’s words, grinned even more warmly,

”Oh, you’ve spoken to Vice Dean Deng? That’s good.”

”Yes, there are too many people lining up at the front. You’ve worked hard, brothers; do us a favor this time.”

Black Wood said this and discreetly handed a bag filled with Crystal Disks from his Space Ring to the lead guard.

Yang Xiao glanced over, estimating there were at least ten thousand Crystal Disks.

The guard captain was initially taken aback, but swiftly slipped it into his own Space Ring, saying with a smile,

”Of course, since you’re a familiar face and also a disciple of Vice Dean Deng, there are no issues.”

Speaking, the guard captain retrieved four white Jade Tokens from his Space Ring and handed them to Black Wood, saying,

”Senior, you’re surely familiar with Wuji Academy rules, so I won’t need to elaborate. This temporary Jade Token permits only staying in the academy for up to 24 hours; before that time is up, you must leave the academy, or face the consequences on your own.”

Black Wood accepted the temporary Jade Tokens,

”Thank you, Junior. I’m aware of the rules, naturally.”

Black Wood then distributed the temporary access Jade Tokens to Yang Xiao, Fan Chen, and Wanyan Bai.

The four of them held their Jade Tokens, scanned them at the entrance of the Light Screen gate, and entered the academy one by one.

Yang Xiao said with a smile,

”Black Wood, seems you’ve had your fair share of back channels in the academy before, huh.”

”The small gate at the main entrance is actually meant for normal access by academy students; newcomers have to wait in line to register materials—the procedure is quite tedious, so the waiting time is fairly long.

We all receive a commemorative Jade Token after leaving the academy, though it’s not directly usable, but it allows priority access when accompanied with an old academy Identity Card.

I could have entered directly, but since you three can’t, I had to resort to bribery.”

”Are you close with Vice Dean Deng?”

”Kind of. I’m from the same clan as Vice Dean Deng, and happened to get acquainted with him, establishing some connections.”

”Where are we headed now?”

”Let’s go find Vice Dean Deng directly, so he can process your admission.”

Being quite familiar with the academy, Black Wood led Yang Xiao and the others across several streets to a grand building.

”This is the academy’s Administration Office Building.”

Black Wood explained.

Yang Xiao glanced at it, the entire Administration Office Building is about one hundred meters long, five stories high, with dozens of rooms on each floor.

Two guards were stationed at the entrance of the office building.

Black Wood presented his Jade Token for inspection and briefly explained their purpose.

The guards glanced at Yang Xiao and the other two, saying,

”Only one person is allowed inside.”

Yang Xiao let Fan Chen and Wanyan Bai wait outside the building, while he followed Black Wood inside.

They arrived at the door of an office on the first floor, a plaque read ”Vice Dean Deng’s Office.”

Black Wood suddenly appeared somewhat nervous, tidying his clothes and hair, coughed a couple of times, and pressed the doorbell.

A moment later, the Defense Light Screen door opened with a ”whoosh” sound, and a young man emerged, looking at Black Wood and Yang Xiao,

”Whom are you looking for?”

”We’re here to see Vice Dean Deng.”

”For what reason?”

”I am a former student of Wuji Academy, and this is my old student Identity Card,”

Black Wood said, handing over the Identity Jade.

The young man didn’t extend his hand to receive it, only glanced at it, speaking plainly,

”State your business.”

”I recommended a friend to the academy for cultivation, and it’s him. I’ve already informed Vice Dean Deng.”

Black Wood said, pointing to Yang Xiao beside him.

The young man looked at Yang Xiao, paused for a moment, and nodded.

”Wait a moment.”

Turning, he went back inside.

After a brief wait, the young man returned, handed Yang Xiao a green Jade Token, and said,

”Take this Jade Token and report to the academy’s new student recruitment office.”

Yang Xiao took the Jade Token and thanked him.

Black Wood hesitated for a moment, saying,

”May I meet Vice Dean Deng? It’s been a long time since I have seen him, and I miss him dearly.”

”No need, Vice Dean Deng is very busy and has no time for a meeting; he has already arranged everything for you, and he is not in office now, so you cannot meet him.”

”Oh!”

Black Wood seemed quite disappointed.

The young man at the door paid no further attention to Black Wood or Yang Xiao and turned to close the Defense Light Screen door.

Holding the Jade Token, Yang Xiao patted Black Wood’s shoulder, saying,

”Black Wood, don’t be disappointed; there’s plenty of time ahead, and surely more chances in the future.”

Black Wood nodded and walked out of the office building with Yang Xiao.
