Chapter 36 - 34 Crazy Parents

Hidden in Penglu Mountain, Ding Huan was unaware that his name had already become famous throughout the Pu Sea area. After tens of thousands of Genetic Beasts surged past him, Ding Huan finally breathed a sigh of relief. He had been prepared for death just moments ago; with tens of thousands of Genetic Beasts charging at him, his chances of survival with his current strength were incredibly slim. Fortunately, these Genetic Beasts were just rampaging in a group, not targeting him. But wait, if these Genetic Beasts weren't after him, then who were they targeting? The idea of the Genetic Beasts rampaging in a team was merely Ding Huan's sarcastic thought; it clearly couldn't be the reality. Soon, Ding Huan was on edge again. He remembered something from a few months ago when he traveled to Pu Sea; the train was intercepted by a group of Genetic Beasts, and the military stepped in to resolve the situation. Ding Huan knew that the incident was far from over. There was yet to be a follow-up to that event, and now tens of thousands of Genetic Beasts were surging out of Penglu Mountain. No matter how vast the hundreds of kilometers of mountain ranges of Penglu Mountain were, they could not possibly suffice for the living needs of the Genetic Beasts. These Genetic Beasts were leaving Penglu Mountain in search of new places to dwell. And Ding Huan didn't need to think to know that Lujiang City was the primary target. Lujiang was a large city, but in fact, its defense measures were not even as good as the small Anhe County. The consequences of these tens of thousands of Genetic Beasts sweeping through.... Ding Huan sighed and walked out of the cave, knowing that with his current abilities, he was utterly incapable of stopping such an event from happening. In his past life, he didn't know what had become of Lujiang City. Once he had gained a degree of freedom, all he collected were news about himself and his father, Ding Baishan. As for things like the Genetic Beast tide, or the enrollment examinations of the Blue Star Ten Great Colleges, none of these were within his considerations. Watching the direction in which the herd was disappearing, Ding Huan resolutely turned and headed deeper into Penglu Mountain. The Two-Horned Fire Lizard as well was a Mutated Fierce Beast, but Ding Huan believed that this Fire Lizard would definitely not join the beast tide rushing out of Penglu Mountain. The Two-Horned Fire Lizard possessed the bloodline of a Divine Beast Dragon, even an ordinary Third-level Mutated Gene Beast Black Ape couldn't command it, much less affect it. Not to mention, this Two-Horned Fire Lizard must have taken advantage of the opportunity while the herd was away to enter the depths of Penglu Mountain in search of its own territory. Therefore, for Ding Huan, this was also his opportunity. ... The first assessment, the Genetic Fusion Test, lasted a full five days. Nearly two million people participated in the assessment, but in the end, only three hundred thousand passed the first round. Many candidates had passed their own Genetic Fusion Test, even achieving an 80% fusion rate. But upon arriving at the actual assessment site, they still couldn't reach the E grade. The second round of assessments would take place two days later. When Qu Yi, Qu Fei, and Qu Jiuyi arrived at the Tinghuan Hotel, it was not just about meeting Ding Huan; it was difficult to even enter the hotel. Everyone there was there to see Ding Huan and Geng Qianxing. These people virtually surrounded the entire hotel so tightly a fly couldn't get in. "Xiao Yi, I'm afraid we won't be able to see Mr. Ding," Qu Jiuyi said with a weight in her eyes. Ding Huan was a training teacher at Yujiang University, where the students had achieved three S-grade results. Even if Ding Huan was just a bystander, as long as he had once taught these three students, he was someone worth beseeching. Qu Yi remained silent. With the situation at hand, it was absolutely impossible to meet Ding Huan. "Excuse me, let me through, I'm a classmate of Mr. Ding's," a crisp voice spoke up. Everyone, including Qu Yi, turned their heads; the speaker was a good-looking woman. "Are you really Mr. Ding's classmate?" some who couldn't squeeze in clutched at this like a lifeline. If they couldn't find Mr. Ding, finding his classmate could at least indirectly yield some news about him. It was naturally Geng Qianxing who took the lead, but Ding Huan, this supporting teacher, must have his own merits. Initially, when Luo Xinwei found out that Ding Huan was the instructor for the Yujiang University students during this assessment, she just thought that Ding Huan was extremely lucky to have grabbed onto a big leg the moment he arrived at Yujiang University. As for anything else, she hadn't given it much thought and didn't even plan to have a lengthy conversation with Ding Huan. When she learned that all three Yujiang University students received S-grade results in the first round of assessments, and that the instructor involved was really Ding Huan, she was desperate to meet him right away. Luo Xinwei even thought, if she could secure a spot in the next Blue Star Ten Great Colleges enrollment assessment, could she ask Ding Huan to talk to Geng, the teacher at Yujiang University, and let her receive his pre-exam training. "Yes, my name is Luo Xinwei, and I've been classmates with Ding Huan for four years; we're also very good friends. Please let me through, I need to find Mr. Ding," the newcomer was Luo Xinwei. Strictly speaking, she wasn't even an instructor. She had only gotten a menial task by currying favor with the teacher leading the group from Luoh River Shangwu University. In Luo Xinwei's mind, as long as she stood in front of Ding Huan, whatever she asked, Ding Huan wouldn't refuse. In fact, she was a bit upset because Ding Huan's phone had been unreachable. If it had been reachable, why would she have needed to push through the crowd like this? "Luo classmate, is Ding Huan really a training teacher at Yujiang University?" Qu Jiuyi asked. Qu Jiuyi knew that Ding Huan was a training teacher at Yujiang University. Hearing that Luo Xinwei was Ding Huan's classmate, he wanted to make conversation and get closer. Luo Xinwei slightly frowned and then said, "Of course, he and I both graduated from Luoh River Shangwu University. He was assigned to Yujiang University as a mentor, and I was assigned to Luoh River Shangwu University as a mentor." In fact, Ding Huan was assigned to Yujiang University as an instructor, and she was merely an instructor as well. "Yes, I can confirm that. My mentors are Mr. Ding and Mr. Geng Qianxing," another voice chimed in. "Your mentors are Mr. Geng and Mr. Ding? What's your name?" A bald man asked in surprise. "I..." Huang Chengwei's face turned red. Actually, Mr. Ding and Mr. Geng had indeed been his mentors, but he had screwed up and run off on his own. For the chance to participate in the assessment of the Blue Star Ten Great Colleges again in the future, he had come here reluctantly under relentless pressure from his family. "Forget it, stop bragging," someone scoffed. Luo Xinwei cast a disdainful glance at Huang Chengwei and had already squeezed her way through the crowd. After realizing that Luo Xinwei was Ding Huan's classmate, the crowd still made way. After all, no one wanted to offend someone familiar with Mr. Geng and Mr. Ding. Seeing an opening, Qu Jiuyi hurriedly followed through the gap. As a Martial Artist with Inner Strength, he easily followed Luo Xinwei and arrived in front of Mr. Geng Qianxing and Principal Tan Bei of Yujiang University. This was because Principal Tan and Mr. Geng Qianxing needed to be interviewed at the hotel, which led to them being stopped on the first floor of the hotel lobby. "Principal Tan, is Ding Huan here?" Luo Xinwei entered and asked with a smile. "You are?" Tan Bei looked at Luo Xinwei with confusion, as well as the few people following behind her. Luo Xinwei explained, "My name is Luo Xinwei. I was Ding Huan's classmate at Luoh River Shangwu University. After graduation, we were both assigned jobs, I was placed in our school, and Ding Huan came to Yujiang University." Mr. Geng quickly said, "Mr. Ding isn't here, he had some urgent business to attend to, and I also don't know exactly where he has gone." "Mr. Geng, I just hope you can train my child for one day, no, just half a day would be enough. This is your compensation..." A woman who had squeezed her way in said in a rush, then handed over a suitcase to Mr. Geng. Without opening the suitcase, everyone knew it was full of cash. To bring a suitcase full of cash and dare to offer it openly to Mr. Geng, one wasn't just anybody. Some martial arts experts seeing the person with the suitcase guessed that it could be a Martial Artist approaching the yellow level. Mr. Geng was helpless, and so was Principal Tan. Was this not at all discreet? Handing over money in the midst of a crowd? Who taught you this? However, Principal Tan also understood the parent's desperation, as there were only two days left until the second round of assessments. If not for this method of handing over money, she wouldn't have had any opportunity at all. Not just the opportunity to offer money, but even the chance to meet these two instructors was nonexistent. The woman offering the money indeed thought this way. The second round of assessments was in two days, and who knew if Mr. Geng would show himself after today? She had neither the time nor the opportunity. "Mr. Geng, my child is also willing to follow you for training, no matter the cost, we are willing to pay..." As if two people had ignited a powder keg, everyone claimed they were willing to offer more money or even offer other things if money wasn't the issue; they could manage that too. Principal Tan, looking at the crowded gathering, helplessly covered his forehead, unable to continue with the interview. In his dreams, he had wished for Yujiang University to make a sensational impact during this enrollment assessment, but this was too sensational, no, it was creating a worldwide commotion. Seeing that the venue was so crowded it was hard to breathe, Mr. Geng had no choice but to say, "Everyone, please listen to me." Seeing Mr. Geng speaking, the crowd finally quieted down. Mr. Geng took a deep breath and stood up on the coffee table, proclaiming loudly, "I can understand everyone's feelings, but I still have to tell the truth. This time, Yujiang University trained three students, and indeed, these three students all achieved good results. In fact, I myself am shocked and perplexed. I swear to the heavens, all the training had nothing to do with me; it was entirely the work of Mr. Ding. Mr. Ding is not here right now. If Mr. Ding were here, he would surely come forward." "Then where is Mr. Ding?" Seeing Mr. Geng swear, the crowd could only look for Ding Huan. Mr. Geng said loudly, "Mr. Ding had urgent business and is not here. I don't know when he will return. If you are looking for Mr. Ding, it's best to wait until after the assessments end, and then go to our school..." After finishing, Mr. Geng wiped the sweat from his forehead. He could only do as Ding Huan had instructed and lay the blame on the absent Ding Huan. Hearing that Mr. Geng was not the training instructor and that the real trainer was Mr. Ding, who was not present, the crowd could only disperse slowly. They weren't just giving up like that; instead, they were each using their Divine Skills to find a way through other channels to make a connection with Mr. Ding and send their children for two days of training.
