``` Pu Hai Pearl Building. This is not only Pu Hai's tallest building but also the most prominent landmark in Hua Xia. When people mention the Pu Hai Pearl Building, they usually think of its height and fame. Few realize that the top-floor conference room of the Pu Hai Pearl Building is the most luxurious in the world. At this moment, inside the top-floor conference room of the Pu Hai Pearl Building, almost all the deans from the Blue Star Ten Great Colleges had gathered. In addition, there were Qian Chen, the Alliance Hierarch of the Martial Arts Alliance, Yan Xia, the Vice Alliance Hierarch, and Shi Changqian, the Alliance Hierarch of the Genetic Alliance. Shi Changqian was an American who used to be called Francis, but now, as Hua Xia led the world, everyone adopted a Chinese name, just like everyone used to learn English decades ago—it was the trend. Of course, it wasn't just a trend; it was also more convenient to have a Chinese name. Among the Blue Star Ten Great Colleges, four were located in Hua Xia, and almost ninety percent of all Martial Arts Sects were in Hua Xia. And in genetics, Hua Xia was leading the way. Presiding over the meeting was the person responsible for the enrollment assessment of the Blue Star Ten Great Colleges and the head of the Genetic Alliance's Security Department, Qian Chen. "Ladies and gentlemen, in this year's Blue Star Ten Great Colleges enrollment assessment, many talents have emerged. Their appearance will inject new blood into our future, ensuring the safety of Earth and the continuation of humanity." Qian Chen spoke with powerful resonance, his words tinged with concern for the future of humankind. "Tomorrow marks the beginning of our second round of assessments. I believe and hope that the second round will bring us even greater surprises..." Qian Chen's tone slowed as he spoke, as if waiting for someone to interrupt. Sure enough, an overweight Caucasian man suddenly said, "Mr. Qian, I have a question." Qian Chen immediately stopped and said with a smile, "Please go ahead, Vice Alliance Leader Gu." The plump white man was Gu Xian, the Vice Alliance Hierarch of the Genetic Alliance, a European who studied Chinese only passably but insisted on using it. His original name was Edward, and in an attempt to showcase his Chinese proficiency, he chose a Hua Xia name for himself: Gu Xian. He intended for it to mean 'noble and virtuous from ancient times.' However, he got the word 'virtuous' wrong and ended up with 'idle.' Despite his explanations, everyone went on referring to him as Gu Xian. Eventually, he resigned himself to this name. Gu Xian coughed, "As Mr. Qian said, indeed, many talented students emerged yesterday, but there were also a few whose abilities defy conventional wisdom, such as Fang Chong, Li Wanran, and Lv Zi from Yujiang University..." The conference room was very quiet; nearly everyone knew that these three students were the true focus of the meeting. Or rather, it wasn't the students themselves, but who was the mysterious mentor behind them who had cultivated these prodigies? "What's so unconventional? Six years ago, during our admissions assessments, we had a student whose gene fusion rate was nearly 99%," a disgruntled voice interjected. The meeting hall fell silent. The speaker, an elderly man with white hair, was none other than Zhang Yongcheng, the Dean of Da Han Yi Academy. Zhang Yongcheng had little respect for the Genetic Alliance's recent actions. He was the first to object when they caused a massive disturbance in Pu Hai two months earlier. He also suspected that the Genetic Alliance was involved in the disappearance of that student with the nearly 99% gene fusion rate in the Amazon six years ago. Qian Chen nodded, "Vice Alliance Leader Gu is correct, and Dean Zhang isn't wrong either. However, the situation this time is different from six years ago. This time three students have simultaneously achieved an 'S' rank, and all three were mentored by the same instructor." Gu Xian said loudly, "Exactly, that is what I meant. If this instructor can truly foster such exceptional talents, why not invite him to the Blue Star Ten Great Colleges or the Genetic Alliance to contribute to the future of Earth?" "Hehe, Vice Alliance Leader Gu might not be aware. The person who trained such excellent students is named Ding Huan..." A woman stood up to say. Before she could finish, her statement was immediately contradicted: "Qin Qiang, you mustn't speak carelessly. We've heard that it was two teachers who cultivated these three students, with Mr. Geng as the primary and Ding Huan merely assisting." The woman speaking was Qin Qiang, the Dean of Martial Vein Mountain, ranked eighth among the Blue Star Ten Great Colleges. Contesting Qin Qiang was none other than Li Chuan, the Dean of Guardian, ranked fourth among the Blue Star Ten Great Colleges. Qin Qiang said indifferently, "Dean Li, I won't mind if you haven't grasped the situation. I would just remind you that in such meetings, it's best to understand the situation before commenting." ``` "Mr. Li, the main tutor for the three examinees from Yujiang University was indeed Mr. Ding Huan, with Geng Qianxing as his assistant," Dean Antonio of Planet Academy stepped forward to speak on behalf of Qin Qiang. Mr. Li frowned slightly but did not speak. He was quite displeased with this woman, Qin Qiang. Although she was from Hua Xia and was the dean of Martial Vein Mountain, she not only favored the Genetic Alliance but ultimately became one of their members. Who didn't know that the Genetic Alliance was now dominated by Western forces? The Martial Arts Alliance was the true heritage of Hua Xia. However, since this Antonio had spoken up, he couldn't continue to argue. In fact, he hadn't investigated thoroughly, but he understood the implications. The Genetic Alliance had taken the lead in convening this meeting, clearly targeting the instructors from Yujiang University who had nurtured three genius students. Once proven, the loathsome Genetic Alliance would definitely invite this instructor to join them under the pretext of legitimate reasons, which in fact was to interrogate someone else's secrets. How many despicable deeds had the Genetic Alliance committed under the banner of justice over the years? Others might not know, but a few deans of the colleges were aware to some extent. But what could they do? The Antonio who just spoke was one of the Genetic Alliance, and this woman, Qin Qiang, who played both sides, was also one of them. Of the Blue Star Ten Great Colleges, at least four deans belonged to the Genetic Alliance... Thinking of this, a cold sweat broke out on Mr. Li's back. Had the Genetic Alliance grown this powerful without anyone noticing? Gu Xian laughed and said, "Dean Li, we have no ill intentions. On the contrary, we want to provide strong support and cultivate talents like Mr. Ding Huan..." Qin Qiang chuckled and suddenly spoke up, "Vice Alliance Leader Gu, if you knew that the two members of the Genetic Alliance who were killed might be connected to Mr. Ding Huan, I fear you wouldn't think the same way." "What?" Gu Xian's smile faded, and a hint of murderous intent crept into his tone. Dean Zhang Yongcheng of Da Han Yi Academy said coldly, "Dean Qin, one must be careful with what they eat these days, let alone what they say. Do not spread rumors without evidence here." A sharp voice directly interrupted Zhang Yongcheng, "Dean Qin, please state the specifics. We indeed need outstanding talents but not those who kill indiscriminately." Zhang Yongcheng sighed and did not speak again; the speaker was Shi Changqian, a madman. As the Alliance Hierarch of the Genetic Alliance, Shi Changqian had once lured a Genetic Beast by using a small town as bait and then encircled and slaughtered it. Although that operation to exterminate the Genetic Beast was successful, even eradicating a mountainous threat at once, it resulted in heavy casualties for the town. As the instigator, Shi Changqian insisted that sacrificing a small number of people to protect many others was justified. He claimed that even if it cost him his life to protect more people, he would do it without hesitation. Anyone with clear eyes would know that this fellow was just full of hot air; his own life was dearer to him than anyone else's. Despite it being just a small town in Europe, Zhang Yongcheng couldn't help but feel uneasy. What was the purpose of establishing the Genetic Alliance, Martial Arts Alliance, and the Blue Star Ten Great Colleges? It was to protect humanity and Earth. How could using people as bait be considered just? Qin Qiang did not heed Zhang Yongcheng's stern rebuke; she continued to address Shi Changqian, "Alliance Hierarch Shi, I can't be certain it was Ding Huan, but I've uncovered a few points for reference. I learned about Mr. Ding Huan because of Yujiang University's outstanding performance. Indeed, I investigated Yujiang University. Without looking, I wouldn't have known, but once I did, I found various issues." Guardian and Dean Li Chuan couldn't help but speak, "Dean Qin, before you speak, you should consider the following. Mr. Ding is innocent. If he is implicated because of your words, would your conscience allow it?" Qin Qiang spoke indifferently, "Rest assured, Dean Li, I, Qin Qiang, do not need you to teach me these things. Everything I say is based on facts. Firstly, Ding Huan arrived in Pu Hai over two months early. He had scouted a high-end hotel before the murder of the two Genetic Alliance members took place, only he had gone a week earlier..." Hearing this, Shi Changqian was itching with hatred—not for anything else, but out of contempt for the Genetic Alliance nurturing a bunch of useless people. How could they not have discovered such a simple issue, and yet it was Qin Qiang who had identified it. What he didn't know was that Qin Qiang, as one of the deans of the Blue Star Ten Great Colleges, was not only highly skilled in various fields but also first-class in intel work. When it was decided a year ago that Pu Hai would become the recruitment assessment site for the Ten Great Colleges, she had secretly installed hidden surveillance equipment in almost all hotels around the Pu Hai Martial Arts Square. These surveillance devices were hidden everywhere and could easily go undetected, even through a complete renovation. She was convinced it was Ding Huan's doing because the surveillance footage showed him taking the elevator to the ninth floor, then using the stairs to the eleventh floor. The dimwits of the Genetic Alliance began their inquiry by excluding anyone who did not use the elevator to the eleventh floor—reducing the workload, sure, but utterly useless. Initially, Qin Qiang didn't pay much attention to this information. Honestly, although she was a member of the Genetic Alliance, she felt indifferent toward the killing of its members. Only a few days earlier, after learning that the three students from Yujiang University had received S-rankings in the first round of testing, she realized the connection with Ding Huan and started paying closer attention.
