Chapter 16 of "Post-Mythical Era: I don't want to die in the third reincarnation" begins with intriguing events: "Ding Huan, how do you plan to train these four students?" As soon as the... Don’t miss it!

"Ding Huan, how do you plan to train these four students?" As soon as the students left, Geng Qianxing asked eagerly. He truly didn't wish for Yujiang University to close down. During the Blue Star Ten Great Colleges recruitment, if Yujiang University could enroll just one student, it could continue to operate. "I need to make some things, Mr. Geng. I'm stepping out for a moment. Do you have a car?" Ding Huan needed to make a test for genes, which required another trip to Qianluo Mountain. "Yes, yes, it's the gray Red Rabbit parked outside the gene laboratory. From now on, just call me Qian Xing or Lao Geng, no need to address me as Mr. Geng. I'm only a few years older than you." Geng Qianxing was already taking out the keys as he spoke. "Not bad at all, to be driving a Red Rabbit," Ding Huan said, laughing as he took the keys. Geng Qianxing touched the back of his head, somewhat helplessly saying, "If my endurance gene doesn't go on the market and make money, I'll go bankrupt very soon." "What happened?" Ding Huan looked at Geng Qianxing with puzzlement. From Geng Qianxing's clothing, he could tell his family circumstances were still quite good. "You should know about the latest Sai Liu gene from Baiyu Group, right? That's incredibly expensive. I reserved a dose for my mother," said Geng Qianxing. Ding Huan shuddered when he heard Geng Qianxing's words, hurriedly saying, "Xiao Geng..." "Wait, wait, I'm older than you. You can call me Lao Geng. Don't call me Xiao Geng." Geng Qianxing immediately interrupted Ding Huan. "Forget it, I'll still call you Xiao Geng, otherwise others might think I'm cursing you. Listen to me, you absolutely cannot buy the Sai Liu gene. If you've reserved it, cancel it right away." Hearing the first half of Ding Huan's sentence, Geng Qianxing was confused—how did 'Lao Geng' become a curse? But upon hearing Ding Huan say you absolutely cannot buy the Sai Liu gene, he immediately asked in confusion, "Why can't I buy it?" "Do you believe me or not?" Ding Huan said gravely. Geng Qianxing patted his chest, "To tell you the truth, ever since I started in genetics, the person I've admired most is you. Even though you've only reminded me once, I knew, you are probably much more formidable than my mentor. I've already decided that once the endurance gene hits the market, there is a share in it for you." "Good, since you believe me, I'll tell you the truth. The Sai Liu gene has issues, and this gene potion is going to blow up soon. On the surface, this gene potion has a very high fusion rate, but in reality, after fusing this gene potion, one will die explosively in a few months, and the death will be gruesome," Ding Huan said very seriously. "Ah..." Geng Qianxing was stunned, muttering, "How could this be..." If anyone else didn't believe him, it wouldn't have mattered. But Ding Huan had a good impression of Geng Qianxing, so he added one more thing, "You're right to believe what I say." "Ding Huan, I do believe you, but so many people around the world are lining up to buy the Sai Liu gene. How could there be a problem?" Geng Qianxing really wanted to believe Ding Huan, but the fact was this gene couldn't be bought without connections. He had secured this gene potion, but it had cost him many favors, and nearly all his savings. "You're not wrong to listen to me. I need to go out and take care of some business," Ding Huan said as he patted Geng Qianxing's shoulder and left with Geng Qianxing's car keys. It wasn't until a good while after Ding Huan had left that Geng Qianxing came to his senses and quickly grabbed his phone to make a call, "Mr. Qin, have you received your Sai Liu gene? Ah... whatever you do, don't use it. There's something wrong with that gene... What problem? I'm not sure yet, but I'm certain it's not a falsehood..." Geng Qianxing decided to believe Ding Huan's words; he felt Ding Huan had no need to deceive him in this matter. Besides, Ding Huan was the most talented genetic scholar he had ever met, bar none. In the field of academic research, Geng Qianxing never felt that older meant stronger. Despite his young age, he didn't believe he was inferior to those old professors at the Genetic College. To Geng Qianxing, all those old pedants at the Genetic Science Academy were nothing but wine bags and rice buckets. ... Having just returned home from Yujiang University and not yet entered the house, Huang Chengwei heard some lively noise inside; it seemed there were many people. "Chengcheng's back!" As soon as Huang Chengwei opened the door, his mother, Jin Ling, greeted him with a beaming smile. "Chengwei, this is Professor Fu from Yanjing—hurry and come over to say hello," Huang Chengwei's father, Huang Xinlan, also hastily intervened. Huang Chengwei saw that several of his aunts and his second uncle were also present; he quickly stepped forward to greet Professor Fu and then his aunts. "Chengwei, you're in luck. Professor Fu just happens to be in Heluo City for three months, so you can study with Professor Fu during this time," said his second uncle Huang Xijian with a smile on his face. His eldest aunt immediately agreed, "Yes, our Huang family is counting on you. If you can enroll in one of the Blue Star Ten Great Colleges, not only will our Huang family be proud, but the whole Heluo City will honor you." Huang Chengwei realized they wanted him to undergo preliminary training with Professor Fu before the examination. "Dad, I already promised Mr. Geng and Mr. Ding today to stay at Yujiang University for pre-exam training," Huang Chengwei hurriedly said. Hearing Huang Chengwei's words, Huang Xinlan's face darkened, "Chengwei, what nonsense are you speaking? Training at Yujiang University? Do you think the quota came easily? " "Don't think that just because you've already been at Yujiang University, the spot you've obtained to participate in the Blue Star Ten Great Colleges assessment came easily. It took nearly all of our family connections and..." Huang Xinlan stopped herself from saying the words "money" when she remembered the presence of others. Huang Chengwei felt somewhat troubled. He knew that training with Professor Fu would undoubtedly be better than with Mr. Ding and Mr. Geng, but he had promised Mr. Ding. Was he going to break his promise? Huang Chengwei was troubled once again. He knew that even if he trained with Professor Fu, he wouldn't be able to get into one of the Blue Star Ten Great Colleges. If he wasn't going to make it anyway, why go back on his word? Jin Ling, who had never lost her temper at Huang Chengwei, immediately rushed over and grabbed his ear, "Huang Chengwei, have you grown so bold? How dare you make such a big decision on your own?" Uncle Huang Xijian came over to Huang Chengwei's side and patted him warmly. "Chengwei, this is no small matter. Professor Fu has come to Heluo City, and this time there are seven people from Heluo City receiving pre-examination training under him. We wouldn't have had this opportunity if it wasn't for Professor Fu giving us face." Huang Chengwei fell silent, fully aware of how hard it was to secure his spot. ... As soon as night fell, Ding Huan returned to Yujiang University. This time, borrowing Geng Qianxing's car and being a Level 1 gene cultivator himself, he was less apprehensive about his actions. In just half a day on Qianluo Mountain, he had found over a hundred types of herbs. He collected everything he saw, whether he needed it or thought he might need it in the future. He only encountered two ordinary Genetic Beasts, which seemed to sense Ding Huan was not someone to mess with and actively avoided him. What disappointed Ding Huan was that he didn't see the Great Wilderness Golden Ape. If he had, he would have liked to test the gap in strength between himself and the ape. But not seeing the Great Wilderness Golden Ape didn't mean he would go looking for it. With his current strength as a Level 1 gene cultivator, it was still too early to seek out the ape. Upon his return, Ding Huan quickly made something to eat, then went to the gene laboratory; he needed to refine a few Genetic Potions. This wasn't about refining the Spirit Root Gene. With Ding Huan's skills, it only took a mere four hours to complete the creation of the Genetic Potions. ... After cultivating throughout the night, Ding Huan opened his eyes the next day feeling full of energy. Ding Huan himself marveled, having the gene spiritual root really was powerful. In his previous life, even with gene meditation, he still needed to ensure he got enough sleep. Gene meditation and cultivating Luo Shijin were different. The former consumed energy, while the latter replenished energy and enhanced strength during the cultivation process. "Mr. Ding is here." When Ding Huan arrived at the classroom after breakfast, Geng Qianxing had already come. Ding Huan handed the car keys to Geng Qianxing and said with a smile, "How come Huang Chengwei isn't here?" From the four students yesterday, Fang Chong, Li Wanran, and Lv Zi were all present, but Huang Chengwei was nowhere to be seen. Geng Qianxing sighed, and the always reserved Fang Chong spoke up from below, "Mr. Ding, Huang Chengwei called me yesterday; his family insists on him going elsewhere for pre-examination training. He was too embarrassed to address it directly, so he asked me to mention it. He said he's sorry to Mr. Geng and Mr. Ding." Upon hearing this, Ding Huan understood. Huang Chengwei's family clearly thought that staying at Yujiang University for pre-examination training wouldn't stand a chance of getting him into the Blue Star Ten Great Colleges. He sighed and said, "Your families must have tried to persuade you too, right? Why are you all still here?" Suddenly, the typically shy Lv Zi spoke up, "Mr. Ding, this is what I think: wherever we train, our chances of getting into one of the Blue Star Ten Great Colleges is very slim. So since that's the case, might as well stay here." Fang Chong and Li Wanran both nodded, their families had similarly advised them. But, they argued, no matter where the training took place, could they really get into one of the Blue Star Ten Great Colleges? Their reason for taking part in the assessment wasn't to get into the Ten Great Colleges but to broaden their horizons and enhance their resumes. When looking for jobs in the future or applying to other Martial Arts Academies, just mentioning that they had participated in the Blue Star Ten Great Colleges enrollment assessment would instantly increase their value. If their assessment results were good, it would be even more of an honor. Ding Huan spoke slowly, "I can't guarantee that you will certainly get in, but I'm confident that the chance of getting in through studying with me is higher than anywhere else. One more thing—and let me be blunt—if you want to back out, you can leave now. Once I start training you, there will be no turning back. As for Huang Chengwei, he hasn't let us down; he's let down himself." (New book release schedule adjustment: evening updates will be moved to around noon. Once the new release period is over, the update schedule will return to normal, and additional updates will not count. Also, I humbly ask for your recommendation and monthly votes of support, thank you!)
