Super Gene Hunting Ground

All new students have a common issue; they’re super excited during their first month at Wuji Academy, thinking they’ve enrolled in a prestigious genetic cultivation school on the Dwarf Star, opening a new chapter of their lives.

However, after attending classes for a month, they disappointingly find themselves asking, ”What the heck are these lessons teaching?”

The Cell Separation Genetic Technique Theory class is a course nearly all genetic evolvers on the Dwarf Star learn.

Plus, similar cultivation books are everywhere, easily accessible.

New students enter Wuji Academy with high hopes, only to discover they’re being taught the same primary courses they’d already learned, leaving each of them deeply disappointed.

During the first month, they still somewhat attend classes, but by the second month, over half skip them, heading to the library to read or flirting around, or going to the cultivation field for training.

The library and cultivation field are just as crucial as attending lectures with mentors, forming the three essential elements of cultivation.

Any student wishing to grow at Wuji Academy must dedicate significant time to the library and cultivation.

Yang Xiao’s teacher for class 368 was named Zhai Kang, a middle-aged man of Empire Level Advanced realm cultivation.

Due to the recent surge in class skipping among his batch of new students, he set a new rule: any student who skips class more than three times will directly fail the annual assessment and have to repeat the grade with the next batch of new students.

Wuji Academy is divided into the Primary Academy Department, Intermediate Academy Department, and Advanced Academy Department. If you can’t graduate from the Primary Academy, regardless of how high your cultivation is, you cannot enter the Intermediate Academy Department.

Thus, today, the students attending the class were particularly prompt, with 28 out of 30 present.

Two students were absent, one of whom was Yang Xiao.

Zhai Kang had already reviewed Yang Xiao’s records and was quite astonished at the time.

Never in his dreams did he expect a new student at Emperor Level realm to attend his lessons, leaving him anxious yet thrilled.

However, during the first roll call, he noticed that all 30 students were present except Yang Xiao.

He thought to himself, maybe someone with such talent has arrangements elsewhere within the academy, perhaps directly being taught by a silver-tier mentor.

Class 1000368 has always had only 29 students attending.

After a month, half of the students began skipping classes, and there was a day when only ten students attended, sparking Zhai Kang’s anger.

”Starting tomorrow, students who skip classes three times shouldn’t even hope to graduate from the Primary Academy.”

Yang Xiao arrived at classroom 501 while Zhai Kang was in the middle of a lecture.

He hesitated at the doorway, and following the habit back on Earth’s Xuanming Country, he crouched and snuck into the classroom when Zhai Kang turned to write on the board.

As Yang Xiao stepped into the classroom, teacher Zhai Kang suddenly turned around and looked at him,

”Stop right there!”

Yang Xiao froze, standing awkwardly at the entrance.

The twenty-seven male and female classmates in the room stared at Yang Xiao, all quite bewildered, as none of them knew him.

Zhai Kang not only didn’t know Yang Xiao, but he also didn’t recognize most of the students in this new class.

Seeing Yang Xiao trying to sneak in, Zhai Kang smirked and said,

”You’re quite bold, aren’t you? Despite my warning yesterday that those who skip classes three times can’t graduate from the Primary Academy, you dared to skip class?”

”Teacher, I didn’t skip classes. Look, I’m here now, just a tad late.”

”...”

The students in the room began quietly chuckling.

Zhai Kang looked bewilderedly at Yang Xiao,

”Fine, let’s say you didn’t skip, but is it okay to be late?”

Yang Xiao immediately replied,

”Of course not. As a student, being punctual shows respect for the teacher!”

Zhai Kang: ”...”

”Since you understand the principles, why were you late?”

Yang Xiao initially wanted to explain, but it’s not something easily conveyed in a few words, so he said,

”Teacher, I was late, and I won’t make excuses. I’ll change this next time.”

Zhai Kang’s expression lightened, nodding in approval.

”Hmm, your attitude is excellent. I like it,”

He said while scanning the two dozen students below, loudly declaring,

”You should all learn from this student. Look at his attitude towards learning. He acknowledges being late is wrong and doesn’t make excuses for himself. Isn’t that admirable?

Unlike some of you who claim you have headaches or stomach aches, various excuses. Does the food at Wuji Academy contain toxins, causing all of you stomach pains?”

Over twenty students in the room cast resentful glances at Yang Xiao.

Yang Xiao secretly lamented, ’You all saw, I didn’t do anything. It’s the teacher taking this as a chance to preach, not my fault.’

Zhai Kang then loudly remarked,

”Let me tell you, none of you are qualified to skip classes or be late. If anyone deserves that privilege, there’s just one person, Yang Xiao.

Do you know about Yang Xiao? Do you understand why our class only has 29 new students?”

Everyone shook their heads in unison, indicating they didn’t.

Yang Xiao felt uneasy listening to Zhai Kang mention him.

”Originally, this class had 30 students, one of whom was named Yang Xiao. Most of you are only at King Level peak, with a few having broken into the Empire Level realm,

Do you know what realm Yang Xiao’s genetic evolution stands at?”

Zhai Kang gazed at the crowd.

Some students guessed,

”Teacher, is it possible Yang Xiao has reached the Empire Level Advanced realm?”

”Advanced? That’s impossible, right?”

”I presume he’s at Empire Middle Level.”

...

Zhai Kang looked down at the crowd with a sense of superiority and proudly stated,

”Empire Level realm? I can only say, talent has limited your imagination; Yang Xiao entered the academy already at the Emperor Level Transcendent realm.”

”Emperor Level?!”

The classroom was filled with cries of astonishment.

To them, the Emperor Level realm seemed an impossibly distant and unreachable state.

The thought of having had the chance to be classmates with an Emperor Level realm powerhouse filled their hearts with regret and yearning.

Zhai Kang felt satisfied as he observed their shocked expressions.

”If you could reach the Emperor Level realm like Yang Xiao, or even the Empire Middle Level realm,

If you did, forget skipping classes—even if you slept all day in your dorm, I could hand you a Primary Academy diploma right now and let you take classes in the Intermediate Academy.”

Zhai Kang glanced at Yang Xiao standing by the door and noticed his expression was calm, lacking any hint of astonishment, which irked him internally. He coldly asked,

”You there at the door, even if your confession attitude is good, you’re still late. I have to record your name,

Remember, being late three times counts as skipping class once,

What’s your name? Hand me your identity jade.”

Yang Xiao hesitated for a moment, then approached the podium.

”Teacher Zhai, I—”

”No nonsense, don’t beg me for mercy. I detest students who try to plead. Give me your identity card.”

Yang Xiao felt helpless, reluctantly retrieving his identity jade from his space ring in front of everyone and handing it to Zhai Kang.

Zhai Kang glanced at the orange jade in Yang Xiao’s hand, his mind buzzing, staring intently at Yang Xiao.

”You, what’s your name?”

”My name is Yang Xiao!”

The classroom fell silent; dozens of eyes stared at Yang Xiao, each filled with excitement, surprise, and shock.
