Evolving infinitely from ground zero

Liu Chuanwu continued, “Of course, the most important thing is the interest involved. It’s too risky to rashly reveal Zi Chen’s astonishing adaptability to the Pureblood Human Path, as it may attract danger.”

Song Yuyan frowned, “But doing so, how much funding will we lose? Without sufficient funding, it won’t be beneficial for researching the Pureblood Human Path either.”

Liu Chuanwu said with a calm face, “Don’t worry, in the coming time, I will utilize all the connections I can to raise funds to prepare evolution resources for Zi Chen.”

“Also, once Zi Chen’s performance is astonishing enough, I’ll find him a backer to ensure his safety, and then promote him vigorously, spreading the philosophy of Tianren Pavilion.”

“With that, we’ll have both safety and publicity.”

“The principal is truly considerate!” Song Yuyan gave Liu Chuanwu a thumbs-up.

Liu Chuanwu said with a smile, “Of course!”

The excitement and agitation on both their faces could not be concealed, and they had already started to fantasize about the day Lin Zichen, with a Pureblood Human physique, would break free from the restraints of an ordinary creature and evolve into an advanced-level creature.

Seeing how excited and agitated they were, Lin Zichen couldn’t help but smile.

To think that just evolving to a Common Tier Five Biological Level, and completing just one Tempering Skin during the summer vacation, already got them this excited.

If they knew that my Biological Level had already evolved to an Ordinary Ninth Rank, and that both Tempering Flesh and Bone Tempering were already completed, and I am in the midst of a second refinement, wouldn’t they be flabbergasted?

“Zi Chen, you don’t need to attend classes at the Martial Arts College anymore. The low-end courses there won’t be of much help to you. Just come directly to the research institute and work with your Sister Yan on researching the Pureblood Human Path and exchange experiences deeply.”

After finishing, Liu Chuanwu turned his head toward Song Yuyan and said, “Yuyan, you shouldn’t be a mentor anymore either. I’ll pay your salary out of my own pocket, and from now on, you’ll help Zi Chen practice the Blood Tempering Technique, and be his personal mentor, aiding him in his cultivation.”

Before Song Yuyan had a chance to respond, he changed his mind and said, “No, that’s not right. Zi Chen has more talent for practicing the Blood Tempering Technique than you do; you can’t be his mentor. You can only be his assistant. From now on, you’ll be his exclusive assistant.”

“Principal!” Song Yuyan expressed her dissatisfaction, “Don’t I have any face left?”

Liu Chuanwu chuckled and said, “You talk about face, but when you’re ridiculed and lost in the crowd every day, your face has become as thick as a bulletproof vest, so do you really care about these blunt words I say?”

Song Yuyan rolled her eyes at Liu Chuanwu and didn’t bother to talk to him.

Liu Chuanwu turned to Lin Zichen with a smile and said, “Tomorrow afternoon the school will hold a welcome meeting. After it ends, there will be an opening trial to select the Newcomer King.”

“Your Biological Level is as high as a Common Tier Five, plus you’ve completed a Tempering Skin session, so without accidents, the title of Newcomer King will likely be yours.”

“During the trial, remember to give the newcomers from the Evolution College and the Mechanical Academy a good beating. Stand up for the Martial Arts College, and after it’s done, I’ll give you ten Qi-Blood pills!”

This was a personal vendetta. He wanted to embarrass Ma Zhenhe, the principal of his arch-rival Evolution College, and also to have a moment of triumph in front of his ex-wife, Yuan Dongzhi.

Song Yuyan said with exasperation, “Principal, you still hold grudges just as you did before. So petty.”

Liu Chuanwu responded nonchalantly, “What do you, a youngster, understand? Often, people live for the sake of pride. If holding in anger makes one feel oppressed, then it needs to be vented promptly.”

Turning back to Lin Zichen, he said with emphasis, “The Pureblood Human Path, at its core, follows the path of Qi-Blood.”

“Considering Qi-Blood contains the word ‘Qi,’ if the Qi isn’t flowing smoothly, it will affect the Blood, which in turn impacts the physical training.”

Patting Lin Zichen on the shoulder, he said, “If you ever feel frustrated in the future and your strength isn’t enough, you can bear it for the time being, but once your strength is sufficient, you must take revenge and release that anger.”

“Thank you for the guidance, Principal.”

Lin Zichen responded perfunctorily, then asked with genuine concern, “Principal, what rewards will the school give for winning the Newcomer King title in the opening trial?”

“They award academic credits,” Liu Chuanwu replied and continued, “According to previous years, first place is rewarded with 10 academic credits, which can be exchanged for evolution resources in the school app’s store. You can download the app from the school’s official website to see what evolution resources are available.”

Ten academic credits?

Lin Zichen recalled the prices of the items he saw in the school app store that morning, with many seemingly expensive Exotic Beast Gene Reagents selling for only 5 credits each.

So in this light, a reward of 10 credits seems quite generous.
