Super Gene Ⅱ: Evolution

Ouyang Yudu used a tactic similar to "Inviting the Gentleman into the Jar" to break Di Esi's Dust Life Base, but that was the power of the Life Base, not a skill.

At the time, Ouyang Yudu even claimed that Lin Shen was stronger than he was, just not willing to win, and so on. Lou Ran thought then that Ouyang Yudu was merely trying to salvage Lin Shen's honor.

But if Lin Shen really knew "Inviting the Gentleman into the Jar", it's uncertain whether he could defeat Di Esi, but the effect of the Dust Life Base would definitely be reduced.

In the universe, there is no invincible power, just as the Separation Method can counter Lin Shen's Surfing Fist, "Inviting the Gentleman into the Jar" also has a certain restraining effect on the Dust Life Base.

"If it really is Lin Shen, this matter may not be so easy to handle," Lou Ran couldn't help but frown.

Princes like Tian Yunxiang entering the academy to cultivate is not considered a big deal.

But Lin Shen is different. Although he is only at Ascension Level, he holds the position of Head of the Celestial Masters' Institution within the Celestial Race.

Such a person generally wouldn't enter the academy to study; one, there's no need, two, there's no time, and thirdly, the Celestial Race would not allow someone in a key position to stay in the academy for a long time.

The Head of an Institution, with countless matters to deal with, how could they find the time to cultivate in the academy, not to mention the risk of leaking secrets.

"Teacher Lou Ran, is the person mentioned by Teacher Helian the one who has mastered 'Inviting the Gentleman into the Jar'?" Evil Qianchun asked.

"It should be," Lou Ran got up ready to meet Lin Shen. Her impression of Lin Shen was not good, and if it weren't for Helian Sheng, she wouldn't be willing to accept Lin Shen as her student, even if he had mastered "Inviting the Gentleman into the Jar".

"Teacher Lou Ran, may I join you to meet that person?" Evil Qianchun eagerly asked.

"Come with me," Lou Ran thought about it and nodded in agreement.

Lou Ran led Evil Qianchun to the outside of the examination area. Now, there was less than an hour left until the end of the exam, and Lin Shen and his group should be waiting here for Tian Yunxiang to come out.

Sure enough, Lou Ran quickly spotted Lin Shen and his group and walked towards them.

Evil Qianchun followed at Lou Ran's side, eyeing the figures ahead. Soon, he also noticed Lin Shen and his group.

But Evil Qianchun did not believe that the person Lou Ran referred to was one of them; he thought Lou Ran was looking for someone nearby.

However, as they got closer, it was clear that Lou Ran was heading straight for Lin Shen and the others.

"Impossible… it can't be… it definitely can't be one of them… if it were them… why would they have left admitting defeat just now…" Evil Qianchun couldn't accept that they were the ones Helian Sheng was talking about.

But Lou Ran had already reached Lin Shen's presence and called out his name, "Lin Shen, there's something I'd like to discuss with you. Come to my office."

"Can it wait until after the test is over?" Lin Shen glanced at the time; there was only about forty minutes left until the test ended.

"If not, let's use the conference room next door. It won't take long, just a few words," Lou Ran said, pointing to a small building nearby.

"Alright," Lin Shen told Ouyang Yudu and the four women to wait here and followed Lou Ran to the small building next door.

Lou Ran used a card to open the door of a conference hall and brought Lin Shen and Evil Qianchun inside.

Walking last, Evil Qianchun locked the door behind them.

"Teacher Lou Ran, what did you want to see me for?" Lin Shen was considering whether to convey the message from Demon Master Demon Bone to Lou Ran.

The benefits promised by Demon Master Demon Bone were no longer of much interest to Lin Shen, and he didn't need to pass on the message for such trivial gains.

"Did you go to Fragmented Flower Path an hour ago?" Lou Ran asked.

"I did," Lin Shen nodded in reply, remembering the small street flanked by flower trees on either side, indeed beautiful.

"Did you run into an old man?" Lou Ran continued.

"We didn't run into him, he slipped on his own. I also caught the fish tank for him, it didn't hit the ground, not a scratch on it." Lin Shen's heart skipped a beat as he thought, "It couldn't really be a scam, could it? Even Lou Ran is concerned, how much money is he going to swindle from me?"

Hearing Lin Shen say this, Lou Ran was certain that it was him who had encountered his teacher, Helian Sheng.

"The person you met, that was my teacher, Helian Sheng," Lou Ran said slowly.

"Your teacher?" Lin Shen was startled and quickly explained, "I really didn't bump into him."

The teacher of Lou Ran, if he started to extort, Lin Shen was worried he wouldn't be able to afford the compensation; he never believed that someone of high status was necessarily of good character.

Lou Ran couldn't help but smile wryly, "What I mean is, the old man you ran into is my teacher, Helian Sheng. According to my teacher, the way you caught the fish tank involved a Solutionless Skill, 'Inviting the Gentleman into the Jar'?"

Evil Qianchun stared intensely at Lin Shen, unable to believe that Lin Shen was capable of 'Inviting the Gentleman into the Jar', what made him worthy of mastering that skill.

"Not really, just some insignificant trick I practiced before," Lin Shen didn't dare to reveal anything about Chi Xinhuo.

After all, the man was settled into retirement at the Celestial Master Institute, and it would be somewhat dishonorable to betray him.

"An insignificant trick?" Both Evil Qianchun and Lou Ran twitched at the corners of their eyes.

If 'Inviting the Gentleman into the Jar' was considered an insignificant trick, what did that make all the teachers and students in the institute?

"Could you demonstrate your 'insignificant trick' one more time?" Lou Ran instinctively emphasized the words 'insignificant trick'.

She still wanted to confirm whether the skill Lin Shen used was truly 'Inviting the Gentleman into the Jar', or some sort of similar innate ability, or perhaps a skill with a similar effect.

The number of innate abilities was fixed, so if it was the effect of an innate ability, it wouldn't be surprising.

But a skill was something one trained to develop, which meant having an additional skill, of course far stronger than any innate ability.

There were also some similar skills, but their effects vastly differed from that of 'Inviting the Gentleman into the Jar' and couldn't be used in actual combat.

If Lin Shen fell into either of the two aforementioned categories, Lou Ran didn't think he qualified to be her student.

"Why?" Lin Shen felt no obligation to demonstrate his skill to her.

"If you have truly mastered 'Inviting the Gentleman into the Jar', our institute is willing to offer you a special admission spot to become a student," Lou Ran knew very well that Lin Shen, as a dean of an institute, wasn't as easy to persuade as an ordinary student.

"I'm sorry, but I am only here to escort Princess Yunxiang and have no plans to join your institute," Lin Shen said, having too much to do already without time for schooling.

Lou Ran had known it wouldn't be easy to convince Lin Shen, so she went on, "Once you're in the institute, you will have the same status as Prince Di Esi."

How high Prince Di Esi's status was, naturally, went without saying.

"I appreciate the kind offer, but I have a lot of work and no time for school," Lin Shen couldn't care less about such trivial benefits.

"I can also offer you another special admission spot to recommend someone for enrollment. As long as it's not too outrageous, anyone you recommend can be admitted," Lou Ran threw out another condition.
