Chapter 1601 - 1575: Thanos Saint Is Nothing

Vice Dean Le said to Yang Xiao:

"Yang Xiao, this is Dean Jingshan."

When Yang Xiao heard that, he hurriedly bowed and said:

"Greetings, Dean."

The middle-aged man laughed heartily, nodded,

"You really cut a fine figure. No wonder old Le here broke his decades-long rule of not taking disciples and made an exception for you."

"That's my Master's undeserved favor, and this junior's good fortune."

Yang Xiao said modestly.

Dean Jingshan smiled faintly, liking Yang Xiao even more,

"Your Genetic Evolution Talent is high, and yet you can still calm your heart and bury yourself in study in the library for half a year. That's really not easy. Normally, after entering Shendu College, people all rush impatiently to the Dungeon Purgatory to cultivate, desperately trying to raise their attribute values.

Why didn't you go to the Dungeon Purgatory?"

Yang Xiao bowed slightly and said:

"In truth, this junior also very much wants to go to the Dungeon Purgatory to cultivate as soon as possible. It'd be a lie to say I'm not anxious. However, this junior also knows that food must be eaten bite by bite, and matters handled one by one. Absorbing Evolution Energy is certainly important, but studying all kinds of Genetic Evolution knowledge and Cultivation Techniques, broadening one's knowledge, and laying a solid theoretical foundation are even more important.

Doesn't our Shendu College have the school motto of 'timing, terrain, harmony among people, and luck'?

The level of a person's achievement in Genetic Cultivation certainly depends on hard work, but the right methods, a good mindset, and a thread of luck are equally indispensable.

Otherwise, even if you cultivate in the Dungeon Purgatory for ten years, a hundred years, you may not necessarily surpass others and reach the Peak."

Yang Xiao's speech left Dean Jingshan and Vice Dean Le both momentarily stunned. The look in their eyes toward Yang Xiao became all the more heated.

Dean Jingshan smiled faintly, turned his head and said to Vice Dean Le:

"Old Le, you really are lucky. How come I never have luck like yours? Just blame that period when I went into seclusion to cultivate. Otherwise, you wouldn't have picked up this bargain."

Old Le laughed loudly, and said in high spirits:

"These years, this is about the only achievement I can boast of. This is exactly the 'luck' Yang Xiao just mentioned, haha."

For Extraordinary Experts like Vice Dean Le and Dean Jingshan, they already view their own Evolution Realm rather lightly, because at this stage, every bit of increase in attribute value often takes years, even decades, to achieve.

Such a slow pace can no longer excite their interest.

But when it comes to taking disciples and passing on their mantle, they are very interested.

It's just that, given their standards, ordinary people simply don't enter their eyes. Only those with truly Transcendent aptitude can arouse their interest.

In Genetic Evolution, so-called Transcendent aptitude is more obvious before the Emperor Level Realm. After reaching the Emperor Level Realm, it becomes very difficult to display talent that surpasses common sense.

For someone like Yang Xiao, already at the Emperor Level Middle Stage Realm and still progressing so rapidly, it is indeed extremely rare.

Yang Xiao immediately laid on the flattery, saying:

"Aren't all the students of Shendu College disciples of the Dean and the Vice Deans? Being able to enter Shendu College is already a great honor for this junior."

Vice Dean Le and Dean Jingshan exchanged a glance and smiled,

"Haha, good, that's a good line. The students of Shendu College are all our disciples. Good."

Dean Jingshan paused for a moment, then said:

"Yang Xiao, I heard that old Qin at the new student registration office gave you a Spirit Transformation Pearl. Is that right?"

"Yes. Was that inappropriate?"

"What's inappropriate about it? How about this: you go to the Dungeon Purgatory to cultivate for half a year. After half a year, I'll have a mission for you."

"A mission?"

Vice Dean Le immediately shot Yang Xiao a meaningful look and said:

"Yang Xiao, hurry and thank the Dean. The missions the Dean assigns all come with great opportunities."

Though Yang Xiao didn't understand the specifics, seeing Vice Dean Le's expression, he still hurriedly bowed and said:

"Thank you, Dean."

Dean Jingshan stood up, took out a Jade Token and tossed it to Yang Xiao,

"Half a year from now, take this Jade Token and go to the Ancient Continent. The specific mission is written on the Jade Token. In your free time, do some homework yourself, go to the library and check some information.

Remember what you just said: keep a good mindset. Some things can't be forced. When your luck is good, seize it. When your luck is bad, learn to let go.

Alright, old Le, I'm off. I'll be leaving the college for a year for now. I won't be able to return until a year from now. Handle the college's affairs in consultation with the other Vice Deans."

"Respectfully seeing the Dean off!"

Vice Dean Le bowed.

Yang Xiao and Xiao Bai also hurriedly bowed.

The Dean's figure flickered, and he disappeared.

Yang Xiao held the Jade Token, looked at Vice Dean Le,

"Master, this?"

Vice Dean Le smiled and said:

"Just put it away for now. Since the Dean told you to go to the Ancient Continent, he naturally has his reasons."

"Then why does he want me to go cultivate in the Dungeon Purgatory for half a year first?"

"With your current Cultivation, you can't go deep into the Ancient Continent. My guess is that the Dean wants you to raise your Cultivation for half a year first, so you'll have a better chance."

"Oh."

Yang Xiao pressed on the Jade Token and examined it. A few words were written on it: "Ancient Ruins – Spider Cave."

"Master, this Ancient Ruins, Spider Cave, do you know it?"

Vice Dean Le gave Yang Xiao a glance and said:

"Legend has it that the Ancient Continent is the birthplace of Dwarf Star Genetic Evolution, but for reasons unknown, humans withdrew from the Ancient Continent, leaving behind only vast numbers of terrifying Demon Beasts.

On the Ancient Continent, there are many treasures and ruins left by Evolutionary Cultivators from ancient times, but most of these ruins and treasures are hidden in certain secret locations and sealed by some mysterious power. Only with the help of a special kind of Jade Token can these mysterious Sealings be opened.

That's the kind of Jade Token you're holding."

"Then where did this kind of Jade Token come from?"

"Good question. People from our Shendu College often use Transmission Arrays to go to the Ancient Continent to hunt, and one of the biggest purposes is to try to find these lost Sealing Jade Tokens.

Most of these Sealing Jade Tokens are controlled by Demon Beasts at the Emperor Level Advanced Realm, and even Saint Level Supremes. Only by killing these Demon Beasts can you obtain these Jade Tokens.

The Jade Token in your hand was very likely obtained by Dean Jingshan during one of his adventures on the Ancient Continent. It's very precious."

Yang Xiao was taken aback and asked:

"Dean Jingshan isn't going to seek the treasure himself, and instead gave it to me?"

Vice Dean Le smiled and said:

"That's fate. That's your luck. Didn't you just say that Genetic Evolution requires timing, terrain, harmony among people, and luck?

You've obtained the luck first. As for the rest, that's up to your own effort."

Yang Xiao immediately bowed and said:

"Thank you, Master, for fulfilling me... Master, may I ask you a question?"

Vice Dean Le smiled,

"You want to know Dean Jingshan's Evolution Realm, don't you?"

"Heh, Master really is perceptive. You see through what I'm thinking at a glance."

"A hundred years ago, Dean Jingshan had already reached Saint Level Supreme."

"Ah?"

"What? Very surprised?"

"Out in the world they all say Thanos Saint is the one with the highest Genetic Evolution Level on Dwarf Star, the only Saint Level Supreme on Dwarf Star. I never thought Dean Jingshan was also a Saint Level Supreme."

"Thanos Saint? Heh, what kind of thing is he? In our Shendu College, there are no fewer than ten people above Thanos Saint. In front of Shendu College, he's not even worth a fart."

When Vice Dean Le mentioned Thanos Saint, he seemed very disgusted.

Yang Xiao was utterly shocked on the inside.

The strength of Shendu College far exceeded his imagination!

He had originally only thought Shendu College was very powerful, but he never expected it to be powerful to such an absurd degree!
