As the investigation into the gene alliance moved underground, Peiha Wusheng plaza returned to its usual hustle and bustle.
With candidates and guardians from all over the world arriving one after another, it's not just Peiha Wushu Square that's crowded, but the entire city of Puhai is overfilled with people.
Ding Huan, however, didn't go downstairs for three consecutive days. If he was hungry, he would just eat a little dry food. He felt that he was about to break through to the level of a secondary gene cultivator these days.
Under the rotation of Lujishi, at this moment, Ding Huan's whole body seemed to be a little larger.
Within Ding Huan's body, a series of energies continuously tried to find new breakthrough points.
Feeling like his body was about to explode, Ding Huan could only furiously operate the Lujishi while there seemed to be no other solution.
At this moment, he only realized that the cultivation technique he had been practicing was very dangerous. The elder who created the Lujishi technique must not have practiced it himself; he had only derived the technique based on his experience.
"Boom!" A sudden explosion came from outside.
The energy that has been accumulating in Ding Huan's body finally found an outlet at this moment, spreading rapidly throughout his entire body in an instant.
The sensation of his body about to explode vanished instantly, and a strong sense of power came. Ding Huan could clearly feel the change in his body.
Is this a breakthrough to level two of the gene cultivator?
Ding Huan took a deep breath and felt the lightness of his body and the even more subtle senses. He knew that he had truly broken through to level two of the gene cultivator.
Ding Huan believed that this technique must have some issues and that he needed to modify the Lujishi technique.
Otherwise, when he attempts to break through to level three, even level four of gene cultivator, wouldn't he really risk exploding his body?
He has been to the fourth level of gene cultivator before, and although the upgrade is difficult, it wouldn't be this life-threatening.
Right, the explosion outside made him breakthrough, and it sounds like a rocket launcher.
Even though he was upstairs, Ding Huan could still hear the boisterous sounds from a distance.
Ding Huan hurriedly went to the bathroom to take a shower and then rushed out of the hotel.
"What's going on?" Ding Huan asked as he walked to the front desk.
The front desk clerk's eyes were filled with fear and he quickly explained, "A gene mutated fierce beast rushed towards Peiha Wushu Square and took away one of the candidates…"
A mutated fierce beast daring to come to a place like Peiha? And it even abducted a candidate?
Ding Huan rushed out in a hurry, and there were people everywhere outside. Ding Huan quickly arrived at the Wushu Square, where almost everyone was discussing what had just happened.
"How could that night owl appear during the day and abduct students?"
"Who knows? They say the student is from Europe, with a gene fusion rate over ninety percent, and had already fused a powerful alien gene. If not for this incident, he would definitely have been able to enter one of the top ten academies on Blue Star."
Ding Huan rushed forward and asked, "Was the student eaten?"
"Not at all, he was just taken away."
"Is no one saving him?" Ding Huan was puzzled, for he had clearly heard the sound of a rocket launcher.
"Of course, strong ones have come to help. This is Peiha Wushu Square."
"Yan Xia, the elders, was the first to rush out. He leapt over several dozen feet high, ready to grab the night owl. Just at that moment, another night owl attacked Elder Yan…"
Yan Xia and Ding Huan knew that this was a Wushu master who had taken the mutated Qingtian Flower. Now, they estimated that he was at least a level of a D-grade master.
He had just broken through to the level of a secondary gene cultivator. He was definitely not the opponent of Yan Xia. It's just unclear how long he could hold his own against Yan Xia.
It's not because gene cultivation practitioners are so much weaker than Wushu practitioners, but because Ding Huan has not yet developed powerful skills and methods.
In his previous life, although he became a fourth-level gene cultivator, he was actually quite poor. He spent all the money he earned on buying the Fifth Star, so where did he have money to buy gene skills?
Moreover, with his previous physical constitution, it would not be easy to fuse gene skills even if he purchased them.
"What happened afterwards?" Ding Huan was curious if Yan Xia managed to save the person after he intervened.
The person speaking shook their head, "No, the night owl that attacked Elder Yan was very strong. The moment Elder Yan stepped aside, the night owl flew away with the person it had grabbed."
After Elder Yan landed from the air, someone immediately fired a rocket launcher. That shot hit the night owl's wings. Nevertheless, the night owl managed to escape. You can see the feathers it left behind over there.
Ding Huan looked over and saw that the military had cordoned off a section of the square's perimeter.
Ding Huan knew that this was just the beginning. In his previous life, when he left Earth, the fierce beasts there had become increasingly ferocious.
Moreover, he had even heard of several waves of beast tide.
At the time, he could hardly guarantee his own safety. The events about these waves of beast tide were irrelevant to him. He had only listened to them as a passing interest.
Now, even an owl dares to appear in broad daylight at such a crowded place as Peiha Wushu Square. What more could be said about the wild face?
Thinking about the train he had previously taken that was attacked by a group of fierce beasts, Ding Huan realized that he had to speed up his cultivation.
He trained in the hotel for two months, finally breaking through to the level of a secondary gene cultivator. That's not enough.
I don't know if Geng Qianxing and others have arrived yet.
Thinking of this, Ding Huan turned and walked back to the hotel. He dialed Geng Qianxing's phone at the front desk.
"Hello, Ding Huan, where are you? We can't find you anywhere. We're at the Huan Grand Hotel." Geng Qianxing's anxious voice came over the line.
That makes sense. With only a few days left until the assessment at the Top Ten Academies on Blue Star, Geng Qianxing and others would naturally come here.
Ding Huan wasn't surprised that Geng Qianxing and others were staying at the Huan Grand Hotel.
The parents of these students have dedicated almost all their efforts to ensuring their children are accepted into the top ten academies on Blue Star. The accommodation has been arranged in advance.
Ding Huan arrived at the Huan Grand Hotel and saw Geng Qianxing from a distance at the entrance.
"Mr. Ding,..." As soon as Ding Huan stepped into the hotel, Fang Chong, Li Wanran, and Lu Zizhen rushed over with excited expressions on their faces.
"Great job, you all made significant progress." Ding Huan could tell from just a glance at the three of them that they had all improved considerably in the past three months.
"Thank you, Teacher Ding... Without you, we wouldn't have today," Li Wanran said, her tone tinged with a hint of sobbing.
She was excited because she was about to see her destiny change. It was well-known that before this, she had never imagined that she had the strength to enter one of the top ten academies on Blue Star.
Ding Huan changed her destiny, and in reality, he had only taught her twice, totaling less than a day.
But in just one day, she believed that her gains were more than what others could achieve in ten years.
"Yes, Mr. Ding, without you, I would not be where I am today," Fang Chong was equally excited, knowing full well that his rapid improvement in strength was due to Ding Huan.
"Wow!" Ding Huan's gaze fell on Lu Zizhen, and he exclaimed in surprise.
Lu Zizhen had actually broken through in just three months and become a true level one gene cultivator. Before this, he couldn't be seen at all.
He had just broken through to the level of a secondary gene cultivator. Lu Zizhen definitely had a strong talent.
"Teacher, you've noticed," Lu Zizhen said, though he was quite shy, his tone was still uncontrolled.
Ding Huan immediately knew that Lu Zizhen hadn't told Geng Qianxing and others about his breakthrough to level one gene cultivator. He patted Lu Zizhen on the shoulder.
"Good luck with your exams."
He felt that Lu Zizhen was a bit reserved, and it should have been appropriate to inform Geng Qianxing after breaking through, after all, Geng Qianxing was his mentor.
Had he not noticed Lu Zizhen's breakthrough earlier, Lu Zizhen might not have been willing to share it with him.
"Yes, Mr. Ding, you can rest assured that I will give my best," Lu Zizhen clenched his fists.
Ding Huan nodded and was about to speak when Geng Qianxing said,
"Ding Huan, we'll take a few students to the Puhai Wushu Square to walk around. This will help them relax when they participate in the assessment."
"Right, you should know that a night owl attacked us earlier, taking away a talented student."
"I just found out too. Let's go to the Wushu Square first to get a look around, and we can discuss the rest later." Ding Huan also intended to take a few people to familiarize themselves with the venue.
Ding Huan knew that he couldn't defeat Qin Lao Da at the moment.
Firstly, finding Qin Lao Da was not an easy task. Even if he managed to kill him, it would still have a negative impact on Geng Qianxing and the others.
...
The ten top academies on Blue Star only recruit a total of 500 people.
Although the 500 people seem like a lot, in reality, each academy only recruits 50 people.
This is not just the number of students admitted from China, but the total global admissions number.
In other words, your abilities need to be among the top 500 globally for you to have a chance to enter one of the top ten academies on Blue Star.
How many students participate in the recruitment examination for the ten top academies on Blue Star each time?
To put it this way, the Puhai Wushu Square, which can accommodate six million people, is filled with people everywhere during the examination.
The Puhai Wushu Square is approximately 250 million square meters. That's nearly 250,000 square meters.
At this moment, ten giant signs were erected around the perimeter of the Puhai Wushu Square, each sign displaying the names and introductions of the ten top academies on Blue Star.
"Teacher Ding, if I can be admitted to the Han Dynasty Easy Academy, I will be satisfied," Li Wanran said, pointing to the last sign with a sense of melancholy.
The ten top academies on Blue Star, with four of them being from China, namely the top-ranked Zhengyu Academy, fourth-ranked Guardian Academy, eighth-ranked WuMAI Mountain Field, and tenth-ranked Dahanyi Easy Academy.
This is mainly because the Wushu in China is flourishing, and the Wushu to thrive must have China as its foundation.
"Don't worry, you're definitely going to pass the exam," Ding Huan smiled. Although Li Wanran hasn't reached the level of a first-class gene cultivator, she should still have no problem being admitted to the Dahanyi Easy Academy.
"Ding Huan, I think with your abilities, it would be easy for you to secure a teaching position at one of the ten top academies on Blue Star."
You should know that if you enter one of the top ten academies on Blue Star, the cultivation resources available to you, oh my…”
Geng Qianxing said in Ding Huan's ear, his voice filled with a series of "ahem" sounds as he finished.
After Ding Huan brought a few students to the Wushu Square this time, he always felt a bit uneasy.
Now, hearing Ding Huan's words, he shivered with a cold sweat suddenly, realizing why he felt a bit uncomfortable.
(That's all for today's update. Goodnight, friends!)
