Super Gene Ⅱ: Evolution

"Evil Qianchun... teacher... the teacher is looking for you..." As Evil Qianchun was pondering a problem, a classmate suddenly ran over, gasping for air.

"Did the teacher come out of the examination room?" Evil Qianchun was somewhat puzzled, his teacher had been selected as an examiner, and at this time should still be in the examination room.

"No... not our teacher... it's Lou Ran... looking for you..." The classmate ran too fast and kept gasping for breath.

"Lou Ran is looking for me? What does she want with me?" Evil Qianchun's eyes lit up, not waiting for the classmate's answer, he asked again, "Where is Lou Ran?"

After finding out where Lou Ran was, Evil Qianchun hurriedly rushed over.

Although they were both teachers at the academy, Lou Ran's status was not something ordinary teachers could compare with.

When Evil Qianchun first came to enroll at the academy, he had hoped to become a disciple of Lou Ran, but since Supreme Academy did not allow the selection of specific teachers, he was assigned to his current teacher. He had always felt very regretful about this.

However, a teacher and a master are not the same; it's very difficult to change masters, but teachers are a different matter.

There had been students before who managed to change teachers, so Evil Qianchun still harbored a glimmer of hope.

He had planned to apply to transfer to Lou Ran's tutelage once he had made a breakthrough in 'Inviting the Gentleman into the Jar,' but he didn't expect Lou Ran to suddenly seek him out.

"So Lou Ran has already noticed me, could it be she wants to poach me into her tutelage?" The more Evil Qianchun thought about it, the more he felt it was not a mistake, and that his efforts were finally about to pay off.

Walking briskly to Lou Ran's office door, Evil Qianchun straightened his clothes before knocking on the door.

"Come in," came Lou Ran's voice from inside. Evil Qianchun pushed the door open and, sure enough, saw Lou Ran sitting behind the desk.

"You were looking for me, Lou Ran?" Evil Qianchun said very respectfully.

"Have a seat so we can talk," Lou Ran invited Evil Qianchun to sit on the chair opposite her, scrutinizing him as she spoke, "I've heard you've been researching the Solutionless Skill recently?"

"Yes, teacher, I'm researching 'Inviting the Gentleman into the Jar' within the Solutionless Skill." Evil Qianchun, who was usually fearless, felt somewhat nervous and uncomfortable in front of Lou Ran.

"Don't be nervous, I just want to chat casually. How is your research progressing?" Lou Ran asked with a smile.

"I've just made a bit of headway, but there are still many challenges to overcome..." Evil Qianchun told Lou Ran everything about his research.

The more Lou Ran listened, the more she felt something was off. She had thought that Evil Qianchun had already developed 'Inviting the Gentleman into the Jar' and was at least at the stage of using it.

But from what he was saying, he had only just made some progress and was far from the stage of use.

"Could it be that the person my teacher mentioned was not Evil Qianchun? But besides Evil Qianchun, no one else at the academy is known to be researching 'Inviting the Gentleman into the Jar'..." Lou Ran couldn't help but frown slightly.

Seeing Lou Ran's frown, Evil Qianchun's heart skipped a beat. Find exclusive stories on My Virtual Library Empire

"Did I say something wrong?" he worried internally, yet dared not ask aloud.

"Where were you just now?" Lou Ran, fearing that Evil Qianchun was being too modest and hadn't disclosed his actual research progress, decided to ask cautiously once more.

"I've been doing research over at the small plaza the whole time today; I haven't left," Evil Qianchun said.

"Have you been to Fragmented Flower Path today?" Lou Ran was still not giving up because she really couldn't think of anyone else besides Evil Qianchun who could have researched Inviting the Gentleman into the Jar.

"No." Evil Qianchun shook his head, a bit puzzled as to why Lou Ran was asking him these questions.

Lou Ran was now certain that the person Helian Sheng spoke of was not Evil Qianchun.

Helian Sheng had encountered that person on Fragmented Flower Path, and Evil Qianchun had not been there at all. His Inviting the Gentleman into the Jar was not even close to being usable; it was clearly a different person.

"Evil Qianchun, do you know if there is anyone else in the academy who is researching Inviting the Gentleman into the Jar?" Lou Ran asked after some thought.

Students exchange information much more than teachers do, and since Evil Qianchun had been researching Inviting the Gentleman into the Jar for a long time, he should know if other students were doing the same and had surpassed his progress.

"I don't think so. Inviting the Gentleman into the Jar requires too much control over the body and Strength; there are not many in the academy who would research this move." Suddenly, Evil Qianchun seemed to realize something, his eyes widening as he looked at Lou Ran and asked, "Teacher Lou Ran? Are you asking me these questions because someone else in the academy has researched Inviting the Gentleman into the Jar and made progress?"

Lou Ran said thoughtfully, "Today, a teacher encountered a student by Fragmented Flower Path, and he used Inviting the Gentleman into the Jar."

"Impossible… There are only a few people in the academy capable of researching Inviting the Gentleman into the Jar, and none of them have produced results yet. Their progress is not even as advanced as mine, nowhere near the level needed to actually use it…" Evil Qianchun looked utterly incredulous.

"If it's not a student from the academy, it's possible that it was a new applicant," Lou Ran thought aloud, now considering that perhaps Teacher Helian Sheng had not made a mistake, and it really wasn't an academy student.

"That's even less likely. New students should still be in the testing grounds right now, unless it was someone who was eliminated early..." Evil Qianchun thought for a moment and felt it was even more improbable. How could a genius who managed to master Inviting the Gentleman into the Jar be eliminated early? At the very least, they should have been able to persist until the end of the test.

Both Lou Ran and Evil Qianchun felt that this matter was very strange and could not figure out who it could be.

Just then, Lou Ran's communicator suddenly rang. She took it out and saw that it was from Teacher Helian Sheng, and quickly answered the call.

"Teacher," Lou Ran answered the call.

"Xiao Ran, I've found the diary, and I've got the information on that student," Helian Sheng said.

"What's his name?" Lou Ran had been worrying, but hearing such news, she let out a long sigh of relief.

"Let me check." Helian Sheng flipped through the notebook on the other end and then read, "Lin Shen, the 'lin' as in 'the outstanding forest', and the 'shen' as in 'the profound unknown'... Race... Human..."

When Lou Ran heard Helian Sheng say Lin Shen's name, she paused, thinking that she might have misheard, mistaking it for someone with a similar sounding name.

But hearing the mention of the human race, it couldn't be wrong; there was only one human named Lin Shen in the academy.

"Xiao Ran, this person might be a candidate who failed the entrance exam. You find him first. I'll speak with the Qi Family later to arrange a special enrollment spot for him..." Helian Sheng said.

"Teacher, don't hurry just yet. Let me meet this person first. We can make a decision after I return," Lou Ran said, having some understanding of Lin Shen.

She had watched the battle for the rankings among Ascension Level races and knew that Lin Shen's ability was indeed not poor, but she had not expected that he would also know Inviting the Gentleman into the Jar.
