Chapter 201: Chapter 169: The Willow Tree Genes’ Desire, Treasures in the Villa

Gu Zheng had colluded with members of the Dark Star Association to assassinate Ji Zhixing. Yet here Ji Zhixing stood, perfectly unharmed, while Gu Zheng himself had been killed? No one knew what to say. They all knew Gu Zheng’s strength, not to mention the fact that he had teamed up with Dark Star Association members for the ambush. Under such circumstances, no one could figure out how Ji Zhixing had managed to survive without a scratch.

However, facing their stares, Ji Zhixing remained perfectly calm. With Gu Zheng dead, the grudge between them was finally over. Right now, his only desire was to improve his strength as quickly as possible. He was about to leave for the Beiyuan Genius Training Camp. Although his current strength was considered quite good within Yu City University, he knew he would definitely be at the bottom of the barrel once he arrived at the camp.

This thought reminded him of the two million points the university had rewarded him for killing the traitorous Gu Zheng. Even though he was about to leave for the Beiyuan Genius Training Camp, those university points would still be immensely useful. Entering the camp didn’t mean he was no longer a student of Yu City University. In the future, he would have two free opportunities each month to use the Transmission Tower to return.

"Get ready to leave," Yang Man Ni suddenly announced. With a mere thought, she activated Yu City University’s Transmission Tower.

HUM!

The very next moment, a brilliant white light flooded the interior of the Transmission Tower. After a dizzying wave of spatial displacement, the group found themselves standing in an entirely different Transmission Tower.

"Let’s go," Yang Man Ni said.

The students followed her out of the Transmission Tower and immediately realized they had arrived at a massive plaza. Scattered across the square were a full thirty Transmission Towers identical to the one they had just exited.

In the distance, a wide array of architectural styles dominated the skyline. Some buildings towered into the clouds, others were ancient and elegant, and some looked highly futuristic. Lush, tree-lined avenues crisscrossed between the structures. They could also spot other students around their age, either gathered in small groups or walking alone toward various destinations.

BOOM!

A sudden explosion echoed from the distant sky. The group looked up and saw two figures engaged in a frantic, mid-air battle.

One of them was surrounded by the phantom of a giant snake that was over thirty meters long. The snake’s phantom was covered in sinister Scale Armor, its entire body as pitch-black as ink. When its massive tail lashed out, the air let out a sharp, explosive crack, sounding as if the very sky was being torn apart.

The other combatant had transformed into a giant, dazzlingly golden ancient ape. Standing nearly ten meters tall, its fur looked like cast gold, blindingly bright under the sunlight and exuding a violent, ferocious aura. It pounded its chest and unleashed an earth-shattering roar. Every punch it threw looked like a miniature golden sun smashing across the sky to clash brutally against the sweeping snake phantom.

BANG!

As the phantom fist collided with the massive tail, a visible shockwave violently erupted, sweeping out in all directions. The sheer force of their clash traveled incredibly far, sending ripples that could be felt all the way back at the plaza.

"Tier 4 Morning Star... that’s at least a Tier 4 Morning Star battle! And those two are definitely not ordinary Morning Star Genetic Cultivators!" The students from Yu City University stared up at the sky, their minds reeling in shock. The terrifying might on display completely exceeded their imaginations.

Even Cao Zhenxing watched with deeply furrowed brows. He wasn’t entirely sure if he would possess that kind of combat prowess even after breaking through to the Morning Star tier himself.

"So, this is the Beiyuan Genius Training Camp?" someone muttered under their breath.

"Enough. If you want to fight, take it to the wilderness. If you cause any more chaos in the training camp, you can forget about your resource quotas for the month."

A booming voice suddenly echoed from the distance. The moment the reprimand rang out, the two fierce combatants in the sky immediately stopped. They retracted their transformations, exchanged a cold scoff, and flew off in opposite directions.

However, the new arrivals from Yu City University couldn’t stop chattering about the spectacle. They enthusiastically guessed the identities of the two fighters, wondering if they were fellow Beiyuan Genius Training Camp recruits from their own batch.

"Are you the group from Yu City University?"

A figure approached from a distance and asked. It was a middle-aged man with a tall, straight posture. He wore a crisp black suit and had ordinary facial features, but his eyes were exceptionally deep and piercing.

Yang Man Ni immediately replied, "Yes, we’re the students from Yu City University."

The man nodded. He swept his gaze over the crowd behind Yang Man Ni and asked, "Which one of you is Ji Zhixing?"

"That would be me," Ji Zhixing said, momentarily startled before stepping forward.

Seeing Ji Zhixing, a sharp glint flashed in the man’s eyes. "You are a specially invited student of our training camp. The camp has arranged a separate, private residence for you. Come with me."

He then signaled another person over from a distance and turned back to Yang Man Ni. "You can lead your team and follow him. He will sort out your dormitories."

"Understood," Yang Man Ni nodded. She seemed a bit tense in the presence of this middle-aged man and didn’t dare say anything more.

With that settled, the middle-aged man led Ji Zhixing away toward the inner sections of the camp.

"What’s going on?"

"How did Ji Zhixing become a specially invited student of the Beiyuan Genius Training Camp?"

"Isn’t he just from an ordinary family?"

Seeing him leave, the rest of the Yu City University students were left staring after him in utter bewilderment.

Meanwhile, Ji Zhixing followed the middle-aged man until they arrived in front of a row of small villas.

"This villa..." Ji Zhixing’s expression shifted slightly as he stared at one of the houses.

For some inexplicable reason, the moment he arrived here, he felt the phantom of his Thunder-Silent Willow Tree Genes tremble gently within him.
