Multi-Gene

David chuckled and proceeded to leave, ignoring the young man staring at him.

The young man was startled, seeing David ignore immediately infuriated him.

"You dare to leave while I'm talking to you!?" The young man gritted his teeth and immediately clicked on his wrist, an holographic image popped up. With a series of clicks, he then pointed towards David.

Ding.

David stopped in his tracks and opened his own interface. There, was a message of challenge for him.

David was immediately amused. He hadn't even been to the institute for an hour before he had been challenged.

He couldn't help but think this guy was being very cute."Hehe, you should go back to class."

David waved his hands, rejecting the challenge and turned to leave.

"Y-you actually dare to walk out on me!?" Red-faced, the young man instantly burst into action.

His fingers warped into an alligator paw and he struck out towards David's back.

BANG! Cr-crack!!

Ahhh!!!

The young man's eyes opened widely and a strange inhuman scream tire through his lips.

His wrist had been twisted into a weird shape, looking oddly strange and terrifying.

David snorted coldly. "Let that be a lesson to you. If it were the others, you might as well be dead."

With that, he immediately moved, but to the young man, it was as though he had vanished. His speed was just too fast.

David wasn't in the mood for sightseeing any longer. In the wink of an eye, he was before the dormitory.

Walking down the familiar passageway, he got into the elevator and then proceeded to ascend to his room.

Getting into room 1324 was quite easy and he was already there. Opening the door, he was met with some of the stuffs he had left there. His clothes and some valuable stuff that wasn't really valuable to him anymore.

For example, the nucleus he had gotten from the crimson Blaze rapidly evolved beast.

David popped it into his mouth, an energy wave surged, increasing the circulation of blood in his body, but it was barely able to raise his strength. He could only feel the blood energy in his body and his genetic force increase ever so slightly.

Shaking his head softly, David smiled. The things that were so valuable he had left here just incase he wouldn't lose them was now totally useless to him. He was way stronger for there to be any real effect.

Opening a box, it contained a serum that could increase his blood circulation, he could barely remember where he got it from.

Drinking it as though he was just drinking water, he closed his eyes to see if there would be any effect, but he could barely feel a thing.

Shaking his head bitterly, David just proceeded to ignore the rest of his stuff. They could do little to assist him anyways.

Pressing a button, his wall released a few mechanical sounds, and a bed slid out from the side of his wall.

David slowly settled and felt the softness against his skin. It had been a long while he had slept on a bed this soft. With that, he drifted off to sleep.

Roughly 8 hours later, David had cleaned the filth off his body. While mental energy could erase dust from his skin, the feeling wasn't as smooth as when water touched his skin.

Heading out, he took a public sky cruiser together with the rest of the students. He had been summoned by the grand professor as soon as he woke up.

"You are back?" David heard a voice say from behind him.

Startled, David glanced at the seat behind him. "Oh, it's you."

It was actually Lu feng. The blue-haired asian looking guy that had topped the rankings list the previous time.

"When did you arrive?" Lu Feng's expression was even colder than before and he seem to have matured by alot, but he appeared to be even more chattier as he always kept quiet previously.

"I came back yesterday, since the student exchange ended." David shrugged.

"Hmm. Heading off to meet with the Grand Professor?" Lu feng asked.

"Hm. Need to report my stay at that academy." David explained. Although Lu Feng was been overly friendly who h was weird, David didn't feel like it would hurt to engage in a conversation with someone he knew.

"Oh. Okay. Oh yeah, I should inform you most students in our set have gone out on missions, you are lucky to find me since I'm just coming back from one." Lu Feng reminded.

"You should rest for a while here and then try to upgrade your strength since you're lots of months behind us. I don't think you can catch up though, but you should get a little stronger before you head out for your missions."

David frowned but nodded his head. "Alright, I will remember that."

He could feel there was some sort of ulterior motive behind Lu Feng's questioning, but David didn't mind and wasn't bothered by it. According to what he thought, how could an ant afford to stop an elephant with its strength, it was simply impossible.

"You are here." David entered through the door and he spotted the old but strong looking man standing within what seem to be his office, but also his home.

"Since you've done your institute a great favour, you are allowed to enter and exit my courtyard anytime."

The old Man said with a faint smile on his face making David nod his head in approval.

"I'm thankful to you sir."

"That's good. I hope you're well rested today."

"Yes sir, I'm fine."

"Alright, I didn't want things to be awkward for you, therefore no senior professors present with us." The old man stated

"I thank Grand professor for his care."

"Hm, that's good. Now off to the main point. Were you able to acquire some techniques on your stay there?" The old man turned serious when the pleasantries ended.

David also turned serious in the process. And nodded his head. The old man seem to sigh in relief.

"If you don't mind, tell me how many you were able to acquire." it was as though the old man didn't really believe David's words. And that was to be expected. He hadn't placed his hope on David from the very beginning, he had placed his hopes on the others who seem to have more cognitive memory than a usual person. But he had been disappointed by the news that they weren't going to come.

While he could go acquire his students back, it would take time and energy. Which meant he had only one option at this period in time.

David raised his hand up and formed to finger.

The old man's face flashed and his expression darkened. "Just two?"

David blinked his eyes and shook his head.

"Then you mean twenty?" The old man expressed his disbelief. It couldn't be helped as it was hard and brain heavy to memorize a single Mental art technique.

But David claimed to have learnt twenty of them, it was simply preposterous seeing as Davis was still in the mortal realm even after almost been an entire year.

The old man was about to say something when he saw David clicked on his interface, and brought out a book from his library.

"This book contains the twenty mental art techniques and their details. I've also categorized them according to their strength." with that, David calmly flicked it towards the old man.

The glowing light stopped before the old man and he opened his interface, accepting the book with a strange face.

H

As he read through it, his eyes continued to pop open, as he read further into it. In just a minute, the old man had gone through the entire book and he was shocked gazing at David with a warmer expression.

"Haha, you have done well, truly you have done well." The Grand Professor laughed uproariously.

"Thank you for your praise grand professor."

"Haha, that is too formal boy. Call me Mr Ather. " The old man was joyous, placing the book on his library.

"You've done your institute a favour by contributing something like this. I had wanted to reward you with Gyno points, but I don't think that would be enough. How about this, you can think over about your reward and after you've thought about something, I will grant it to too you. Or you can simply choose to get 200 million Gyno points, according to the calculations of my AI, that's what your contribution is worth."

David didn't blink his eyes and simply stated. " I choose 200 million Gyno points."

The old man was taken aback. "Are you sure of your choice?"

David nodded his head. "Yes sir, I'm absolutely sure of my choice."

'Unless you can give me the blood pool behind your courtyard.' naturally, David could smell the fragrance of a very rich and tasty blood in the air and have deduced that there was a massive blood pool somewhere here. He just wasn't sure what the old man was using it for.

A suspicion instantly formed within David's mind. What was this old man hiding?

Could he be a legacy successor too and needed blood like him? Or was it something even more sinister?0200
