Chapter 199: Chapter 169: The Desire of the Willow Tree Genes, Treasure in the Villa

"Let’s go. Summon that thundercloud of yours, bring them along, and let’s head back," Bai Yuan said to Ji Zhixing.

Ji Zhixing nodded. With a thought, he summoned the Purple Gold Thundercloud from his Genetic Acupoint. Dark clouds churned and lightning flashed as a ten-meter-wide thundercloud hovered half a meter above the ground.

He tossed Chen Wenjie and the other three aboard. The four were already heavily injured; they let out muffled groans when they hit the thundercloud, lacking even the strength to struggle. Then, he stepped onto the Purple Gold Thundercloud, flapped his Purple Gold Thundercloud Wings, and flew toward Yu City Base City.

"Teacher Bai, we’re innocent! We really didn’t know the person Gu Zheng brought was a member of the Dark Star Association!"

Aboard the Purple Gold Thundercloud, Chen Wenjie and the others had ashen faces. They desperately spoke up, hoping to seize a sliver of hope. Their injuries were not light, but no matter how severe, they could still be healed in this world. What truly filled them with despair was that the person Gu Zheng had brought was actually a member of the Dark Star Association. They were genuinely ignorant of this fact.

"Ji Zhixing, we’ve been classmates for three years..." Yu Zhirou looked at Ji Zhixing. By now, she was also filled with regret. Her relationship with him used to be decent, and she had never expected things to reach this point.

But was she really to blame? She could never have anticipated that Ji Zhixing would grow so powerful in such a short period of time.

THWACK! THWACK! THWACK! THWACK!

Hearing their chaotic pleas, Bai Yuan frowned. He flicked his fingers, shooting out several bursts of air that struck their heads. Instantly, all of them passed out.

Ji Zhixing looked at the unconscious group and shook his head. He actually wanted to ask why Ren Pingzhi had betrayed him, and he also wanted to know why Yu Zhirou was here. But after some thought, he realized that none of it mattered anymore.

Now that he had caught them all in one fell swoop, he basically had no more enemies left in Yu City Base City. As for Cao Zhenxing, although they didn’t get along, it was merely a competitive relationship with no deep-seated hatred. In fact, after their few encounters, Ji Zhixing was usually the one who came out on top.

With this in mind, a thought struck Ji Zhixing. "Teacher Bai, how did you recognize that man as a member of the Dark Star Association at a single glance?" he asked.

Bai Yuan glanced at him with an enigmatic smile. "Simple. From now on, when you’re out there and you meet someone wicked, unknown, and trying to kill you, just treat them as if they’re from the Dark Star Association.

"Take today’s guy, for example. He conspired with Gu Zheng and the rest to kill you. If you kill him and write him off as a Dark Star Association member, no one will say a word."

Ji Zhixing was stunned, finally realizing that Bai Yuan had just been spouting nonsense earlier. However, the man hadn’t denied the accusation at the time, and Gu Zheng hadn’t said anything either. This meant the man might actually be a member of the Dark Star Association after all.

Pondering this, Ji Zhixing steered the Purple Gold Thundercloud into Yu City Base City, returning to Yu City University. Upon arriving, he handed Chen Wenjie and the others directly over to Bai Yuan to handle. Now completely free of burdens, he prepared to head back to Xiao Mingyue’s villa to continue cultivating.

RING RING!

Just then, his phone suddenly rang. Ji Zhixing picked it up and saw that it was Yang Man Ni calling. He immediately answered. "Teacher Yang?"

"Ji Zhixing, come to my office," Yang Man Ni’s voice came through the phone.

"Understood." Ji Zhixing nodded at once. Without asking what it was about, he changed directions and headed straight for Yang Man Ni’s office.

After arriving, he asked, "Teacher Yang, why did you call me over?"

Yang Man Ni motioned for him to sit down. "Do you know about the Beiyuan Genius Training Camp?"

Ji Zhixing gave a slight nod. "I do."

The Beiyuan Genius Training Camp was an annual program. When it opened, every university in the Northern Realm of Xia Country could send their prodigies there. However, to enter the Beiyuan Genius Training Camp, one had to have fused with at least Tier-4 Morning Star genes; otherwise, they wouldn’t qualify.

Seeing his nod, Yang Man Ni smiled. "This year’s Beiyuan Genius Training Camp is about to open.

"Since you’ve only fused with Tier-3 genes, you wouldn’t normally be able to enter. But just now, the Beiyuan Genius Training Camp sent you a special invitation.

"With this invitation, you can unconditionally join the Beiyuan Genius Training Camp and enjoy special privileges." As Yang Man Ni spoke, she pulled out an invitation letter and handed it to Ji Zhixing.

"A special invitation to the Beiyuan Genius Training Camp?" Startled, Ji Zhixing accepted the letter and glanced over it. He then looked up at her. "Teacher Yang, why would they send me an invitation like this?"

Yang Man Ni gave him a meaningful smile. "The Beiyuan Genius Training Camp issues a few special invitations every year, but they’re generally given to the scions of major families.

"Think about it. Do you know any important figures?"

Xiao Mingyue!

Hearing this, a realization instantly struck Ji Zhixing. He didn’t know many people, and there was likely no one else capable of helping him with this besides Xiao Mingyue.

The Beiyuan Genius Training Camp...

Ji Zhixing took a deep breath, wondering if he would be able to see Xiao Mingyue once he went there. A sense of anticipation swelled in his heart. Although they hadn’t been apart for long, he still really wanted to see her.

"All right, you can head back now," Yang Man Ni said. "Three days from now, the school will arrange for all of you to be uniformly teleported to the Beiyuan Genius Training Camp."
