Super Gene Hunting Ground

Gan Wei held Xiao Qingliu’s hand,

”Come, follow Master inside.”

Xiao Qingliu glanced at Yang Xiao.

Yang Xiao nodded,

”I’ll come to see you when I have time.”

Gan Wei smiled and said,

”It seems you two are a pair of lovers. Don’t worry, Master won’t separate you. After completing the cultivation tasks for Master, you’ll have plenty of time to meet within the academy.”

Xiao Qingliu blushed and waved at Yang Xiao, following Gan Wei into the cottage.

Yang Xiao continued walking forward with Vice Dean Le.

”Master, do you like Mentor Gan Wei?”

”Hmm? Yes, I do.”

”If you like her, why not just marry her? Waiting ten years, and the daylilies will be cold. Why suffer?”

Vice Dean Le turned back to look at Yang Xiao and laughed heartily, saying,

”Our love is different from you young people’s. You’re like a blazing fire, we’re like a slow-cooked soup, the longer it stews, the more flavorful it becomes.

For us, with constant body seizing and rebirth, time is eternal.

Life is long, and if we don’t find something to do, how boring, empty, lonely, and cold it would be.”

Yang Xiao: ”...”

Seemingly aware of Yang Xiao’s inner confusion, Vice Dean Le smiled and said,

”You won’t understand now, but once you cultivate the Body Seizing Divine Skill and can permanently exist in this world, you’ll understand. Living forever, you’ll find life is just like that, really boring,

yet if you were to give up this colorful world, you’d be very reluctant.”

Yang Xiao felt a bit dizzy. This old man was giving him a lesson in life philosophy as soon as he arrived!

Are all the people at Shendu College like Vice Dean Le and Mentor Gan Wei, bored and idle all day?

Ying Tianmo, Lei Tianmo, and the Divine Hall Elders were all ambitious, aiming to unify the universe, save Dwarf Star, how come when they reached Shendu College, the mentors’ outlooks on life were so negative?

Yang Xiao followed Vice Dean Le to a small grove full of blooming flowers. Inside the grove was a small courtyard, also covered by a Defense Light Screen.

Vice Dean Le took out a Jade Token and tossed it to Yang Xiao,

”This is the Jade Token key to open the courtyard’s Defense Light Screen. It’s yours now, you’ll be living here from now on.”

Yang Xiao took the Jade Token, opened the Defense Light Screen, and walked into the courtyard.

A white shadow flashed, rushing toward Yang Xiao.

Yang Xiao was startled and struck a palm through the air in response.

”Bang!”

The white shadow leaped in mid-air, retreating several dozen meters.

”Woof woof woof!”

A pure white puppy barked at Yang Xiao.

”Xiao Bai, don’t be rude.”

Vice Dean Le reprimanded.

Xiao Bai glared at Yang Xiao, then with a whoosh, leaped to Vice Dean Le’s side, wagging its tail constantly.

”Yang Xiao, let me introduce you, this is Xiao Bai,

Xiao Bai, this is Yang Xiao, from now on, you are to be friends.”

Yang Xiao looked at Xiao Bai. The palm he had just swung hadn’t hurt the dog; although he hadn’t used all his power, it wasn’t weak either. Even someone at the Emperor Level Realm might not withstand it. Did this dog possibly surpass the Emperor Level Realm?

Vice Dean Le laughed and said,

”Don’t underestimate Xiao Bai. It’s been evolving for over two hundred years, reaching the Emperor Level Primary Realm.”

Yang Xiao took a deep breath, surprised that even a dog at Shendu College was an Emperor Level, truly a place where Emperor Levels were as common as dogs.

”Since Xiao Bai is already at the Emperor Level realm, it should be able to transform into human form, right?”

”Exactly, Xiao Bai has long been able to transform into human form, but it doesn’t want to.”

Yang Xiao looked at the little white dog in front of Vice Dean Le and laughed,

”It’s better to transform into human form.”

”Why should I transform into human form? Give me a reason to hear.”

Xiao Bai suddenly spoke up, addressing Yang Xiao.

”I’ll say it, but don’t get angry.”

”Come on, am I a dog that gets angry so easily?”

”As a dog, it’s not good to constantly expose your body outside, is it? When I look at your paws, I can’t help but imagine you as a girl, haha....”

Yang Xiao grinned mischievously.

Xiao Bai was taken aback, its body trembled, and it dashed away into the hut, disappearing from sight.

Vice Dean Le glanced at Yang Xiao and laughed,

”You cheeky boy, you’ve really got it. Xiao Bai has been with me for fifty years. I’ve been persuading it to transform, yet it’s unwilling. I never thought, with just one sentence, you could compel it to transform.”

As they spoke, the two entered the hut.

The hut was spacious, with five or six rooms, containing a living room, kitchen, three bedrooms, a large study, and outside were garden groves, making the environment quite excellent.

”Xiao Bai!”

Vice Dean Le shouted, and a room opened. A woman in her late twenties or early thirties came out with her head down.

”Master!”

Yang Xiao took a glance and found the woman fairly graceful in appearance, with a decent figure.

When Xiao Bai saw Yang Xiao paying attention to her, recalling his previous words, her face flushed red, and she glared at Yang Xiao fiercely.

Yang Xiao laughed and said,

”There’s nothing to be embarrassed about. Before transforming, you’re a beast; after transforming, you become human. Even though you’re just a Beastman, a demon beast at the Emperor Level, transformed, has intelligence very close to a regular human.”

Vice Dean Le nodded and said,

”Xiao Bai, I know you dislike the rules of human society, finding the constraints numerous and limiting. As a demon beast, reaching the Emperor Level is already a rare fortune,

since heaven has granted you this opportunity, you should cherish it. Transforming into a human is also beneficial for your evolution. For demon beasts, the ultimate goal of Genetic Evolution is to become human, so why not enjoy it?”

Xiao Bai’s face turned crimson, and she lowered her head and said,

”Yes, Master!”

”Alright, Yang Xiao is my newly accepted disciple. Now that you’ve transformed, you should address each other as senior and junior siblings, otherwise, it would be a master-servant relationship.”

”I don’t want to be his servant; I only wish to serve you all my life.”

Xiao Bai said eagerly, casting a side glance at Yang Xiao.

An Emperor Level demon beast willing to serve as Vice Dean Le’s servant must have a special bond, which Yang Xiao didn’t care to inquire about.

Vice Dean Le said to Yang Xiao;

”Yang Xiao, since it’s your first day here, I’ll have Xiao Bai take you to register your information at the academy later and get your Identity Jade from the academy. With the academy’s Identity Jade, you can freely enter and exit places like the library, Purgatory Dungeon, and Martial Arts Training Ground, and also attend lectures in various college halls,

the only strict rule I emphasize is no private fighting within the academy, or you will be expelled from Shendu College upon discovery.”

”Is it true that no one fights in the entire Shendu College?”

”If you’re really eager to fight, you can go to the Martial Arts Training Ground, where many are willing to spar with you,

Shendu College has a portal that teleports you to the Ancient Continent, where many high-level demon beasts are available for practice,

but remember, even for Emperor Level Middle Stage Transcendent experts, do not venture deep into the Ancient Continent, take note.”

”Yes, thank you, Master, for the guidance. By the way, Master, since you’ve accepted me as a disciple, do we have any unique secret technique manuals in our sect that I need to learn?”

Upon hearing that, Vice Dean Le laughed heartily and said,

”Cheeky boy, just joined and already asking Master for gifts?”

”I wouldn’t dare. I’m just worried if someone asks, saying you’re Vice Dean Le’s disciple, surely Vice Dean Le has taught you a unique Divine Skill, right?

If I can’t answer, wouldn’t it bring shame to you, Master?”

”Hehe, stop joking around, the books in the study are rare Secret Technique Manuals I’ve gathered, greatly beneficial for Genetic Evolution cultivation. Besides that, I’ll give you a manual.”

Vice Dean Le waved his hand, and a golden Jade Token flew toward Yang Xiao.

Yang Xiao hurriedly caught it,

”What is this?”

”This is something your Master obtained while adventuring in the Ancient Continent. After slaying an Emperor Level Middle Stage Green Dragon Demon Beast, this Jade Token fell out from its body,

the Jade Token should contain long-lost Divine Power Techniques from the Ancient Continent. I haven’t had time to study it, so I’ll give it to you. See if you can figure something out.”

”Thank you, Master.”

”Furthermore, if you’re thinking of training in the Ancient Continent, it’s best to take Xiao Bai with you.”

Yang Xiao turned to look at Xiao Bai.

Xiao Bai intentionally turned her head away from Yang Xiao, still resentful of his earlier remarks.

Yang Xiao said,

”If I’m not mistaken, Xiao Bai should be the demon beast Master picked up from the Ancient Continent, right?”
