Super Gene Hunting Ground

The rest of the process is fairly simple. Yang Xiao took the green jade token and went to another building in the academy, which specifically handles new student admissions.

In the square in front of the new student admissions building, people were lined up with a long queue waiting to be processed as usual.

Black Wood introduced:

”New students need to go through some assessments, and the acceptance rate for those in line is only about ten percent.”

Yang Xiao was taken aback,

”There’s an assessment too?”

”You don’t need to be assessed. You already have a green academy identity card, so you just need to go to the new student admission office to register and pay the tuition fees.”

”So, did I go through the backdoor?”

Black Wood laughed heartily and said:

”Of course, but it’s not entirely a backdoor.”

”How so?”

”You’re not yet thirty years old, and you’ve already reached the Emperor Level Primary Level Realm in cultivation. That’s considered a genius. Most new students who enter here are at the Empire Level Realm and need to go through ten or dozens of years of cultivation before they can break through to the Emperor Level Realm.”

”Oh, according to what you said, Wuji Academy has 100,000 students. How many of them are above the Emperor Level Realm?”

Black Wood chuckled and said:

”The Emperor Level Realm is limited by the cultivator’s genetic talent, and very few can break through to the Emperor Level Realm. Among the 100,000 students at Wuji Academy, only about a hundred or so have broken through to the Emperor Level Realm. Those who can break through to the Emperor Level Middle Stage Realm are even rarer,

most of the students can cultivate to the Empire Level Advanced Realm at Wuji Academy and will then weigh the necessity of continuing cultivation, and the vast majority will choose to leave the academy.”

”By the way, I never asked you, how much is the tuition at Wuji Academy?”

”A hundred thousand crystal disks per year.”

”A hundred thousand crystal disks? It’s not an insignificant amount, but not too excessive either.”

Black Wood heard this, laughed, and said:

”A hundred thousand is just the basic tuition fee. At Wuji Academy, everything is self-funded. For example, your dormitory, cultivation resources, even going into the library to read books, all require payments. Generally, children from poor families don’t have this kind of money for cultivation.”

Yang Xiao remembered the standard of living of the citizens in the City of Hope, and for ordinary families, spending a hundred thousand crystal disks per year on children’s education is indeed impossible. No wonder he set up a free school, and so many people want to immigrate here.

Thinking of this, Yang Xiao said to Black Wood,

”Black Wood, make sure you go back and tell everyone to work together and build the academy well, strive to allow all children to get free admission and receive basic genetic evolution training.”

Black Wood nodded and said,

”Boss, I deeply admire you for setting up a free academy, benefiting the people, benefiting future generations, contributing in the present, and profiting for centuries!”

”Haha, alright, stop flattering me. I initially came up with this idea to draw people over and attract them to immigrate. But education is indeed a significant matter, important to every child and every family.”

Black Wood took out a black jade token directly from the spatial area and handed it to Yang Xiao.

Yang Xiao was taken aback,

”What’s this?”

”Boss, without your consent, Fan Chen, Wanyan Bai, and I privately decided to deposit a billion crystal disks into Wuji Academy. This card can be linked with your academy identity card, so you can directly use the academy identity jade for expenses at the academy.”

Yang Xiao was startled,

”A billion crystal disks? That much?”

”Haha, it’s not a lot. You’ll understand after a period of cultivation. A billion crystal disks is just your first-year cultivation cost, and you’ll need more in the future,

but boss, rest assured. You just focus on cultivation, and no matter how much money you need, we’ll handle it.”

Yang Xiao heard this and felt slightly excited inside, looked at the three people, and said:

”Thank you all.”

The three laughed heartily.

”Boss, without you, the City of Hope wouldn’t be what it is today. To say it frankly, all of the wealth of the City of Hope is yours, so spending a billion is nothing, it’s only the right thing to do.”

Yang Xiao joined the queue and entered the new student admissions office, handing over the green jade token.

The staff took the jade token and cast an odd glance at Yang Xiao, about to input genetic evolution energy into the jade token, which emitted a ray of light, revealing the basic information about Yang Xiao.

When the staff saw this, their facial expression immediately changed.

”Is your name Yang Xiao?”

”Yes.”

”28 years old?”

”Yes.”

”Emperor Level Primary Level Realm?”

”Yes.”

There were 5 teachers in the admissions office handling the admission tests and other trivial matters for the new students. Upon hearing Yang Xiao and one of the conversations between Yang Xiao and one of the teachers, they all froze, stopped the work they were doing, and turned to look at Yang Xiao.

”Under thirty years old and breaking through to the Emperor Level Primary Level Realm, isn’t this TM a genius, is it real?”

A young female teacher looked at Yang Xiao with admiration in her eyes.

The person holding Yang Xiao’s jade token was an older teacher, appearing to be at least over sixty (according to the real age for genetic evolvers, possibly over a hundred).

The old man held the jade token and said,

”This was introduced by Vice Dean Deng. Could it possibly be false?”

The middle-aged man said,

”Did Vice Dean Deng personally verify his genetic evolution level?”

The old man said,

”How would I know?”

Then he looked up at Yang Xiao,

”Yang Xiao, did Vice Dean Deng personally verify your genetic evolution level?”

Yang Xiao shook his head.

”Well, in that case, you’re a new student here on the first day, and you need to verify your genetic evolution level before registering it in the records,

The academy’s special genetic evolution level test room is quite far from here, and you’d need to queue for at least an hour before it’s your turn,

So, you can exhibit a part of it here, let us experience your genetic evolution level.”

The old man wasn’t disbelieving of Vice Dean Deng, but rather exceptionally curious about Yang Xiao, being someone who broke through the Emperor Level Realm at 28 years old.

Throughout the history of Wuji Academy, individuals capable of breaking through the Emperor Level Realm before turning thirty are extremely rare. In the past hundred years, Yang Xiao is the first.

Not only was the old man curious, but the other teachers were also highly intrigued, as if seeing a dinosaur at the zoo. Each one was wide-eyed in awe as they looked at Yang Xiao.

Yang Xiao gave them a glance and said with a smile,

”Teachers, there’s no problem exhibiting it, but let me ask first, is the genetic evolution level of all of you above the Emperor Level Realm? I worry that if I display it and you can’t handle it, what will you do?”

The old man’s face appeared embarrassed.

The other teachers were the same; their evolution levels were merely at the Empire Level Advanced Realm. That young female teacher had just broken through to the Empire Level Advanced Realm.

The atmosphere in the room was tense.

The young female teacher glanced around and said with a smile,

”We haven’t broken through to the Emperor Level Realm yet, but you can display your cultivation technique slowly. If we find it unbearable, we’ll voice our concerns.”

Curiosity kills the cat!

The teachers were eager to see the cultivation of the young prodigy in front of them.

Yang Xiao thought for a moment and said,

”Other techniques are hard to control, but as for ice element techniques, I can slowly exhibit it. When the chill becomes unbearable, just shout out.”

The teachers exchanged a glance and nodded.

The old man, filled with excitement, said,

”We’re ready, you can start demonstrating.”

The teachers immediately focused their energies and activated the Defense Light Screen.

Yang Xiao smiled slightly, and his divine sense swept the room.

With a crunching sound,

The entire room was instantly covered in ice and snow.

Yang Xiao wasn’t sure how much power to use, estimating fifty percent of evolution energy should be enough.

But he regretted it as soon as he started.

Two of the five teachers immediately turned into ice sculptures.

There were screams coming from outside the room.
