Chapter 320: 198. Ma Xiwei wants to follow the Pureblood Human Path
After staying in the office for nearly two hours,
Lin Zichen felt it was about time, so he took Shen Qinghan and left to head back home.
After the two left,
Yuan Dongzhi took out her phone and called President Ma Zhenhe of Evolution College to inform him about Shen Qinghan's situation.
She explained that Shen Qinghan was walking the Pureblood Human Path and that, starting tomorrow, she would no longer be an Evolution College student but a member of the Tianren Pavilion.
The news left Ma Zhenhe, who was at home, completely dumbfounded.
After a moment of recovery, he asked incredulously, "Qinghan is clearly a Genetic Integrator, how can she be a Pure Blood Human? What exactly is going on?"
"Qinghan is not a Genetic Integrator but a Gene Enslaver," Yuan Dongzhi stated calmly.
"A Gene Enslaver? What does that mean?" Ma Zhenhe frowned and continued, "Principal Yuan, I don't quite understand. Could you please explain it to me?"
Yuan Dongzhi replied, "It means that when the Exotic Beast Gene was injected into Qinghan's body, it did not fuse with her genes but was instead enslaved by them."
She shared Shen Qinghan's secret with Ma Zhenhe.
Without hiding a single detail.
Because for Shen Qinghan to be listed among the Alien-class Talents, she would need to demonstrate her strengths and potential once school started.
There was no longer any need to conceal her abilities.
What Shen Qinghan needed to do next was to show that she was a Pure Blood Human who had a special constitution that could gain abilities like a Genetic Integrator.
She sought to join the list of Alien-class Talents as soon as possible to access better evolution resources.
...
For the next half an hour,
Ma Zhenhe discussed Shen Qinghan with Yuan Dongzhi.
After ending the call,
Ma Zhenhe sat on the sofa in his living room, his face still filled with confusion, feeling somewhat unreal.
Gene Slavery?
Was there really such a special existence?
No, he must visit the Pure Human Research Institute tomorrow to see if it was really true...
As he thought this, Ma Zhenhe grumbled, "That old codger Liu Chuanwu, he's so lucky, snagging two top-level geniuses all at once, it's sickening!"
Right after he spoke,
Ma Xiwei, who had been taking a shower, came out from the bathroom.
Hearing what Ma Zhenhe said, Ma Xiwei asked curiously, "Dad, what's this about President Liu recruiting two top-level geniuses?"
Ma Zhenhe told her, "Principal Yuan just called to inform me that your classmate Shen Qinghan is a Pure Blood Human and will be leaving Evolution College to join Tianren Pavilion."
"Ah?"
Ma Xiwei was taken aback.
After a moment of realization, she said, "How could Shen Qinghan possibly be a Pure Blood Human? I've seen her use the Exotic Beast Gene before; she is clearly a Genetic Integrator."
Ma Zhenhe explained, "Principal Yuan said she's not a Genetic Integrator but a Gene Enslaver; when the Exotic Beast Gene enters her body, it won't fuse but will be enslaved by her genes."
"Can it really be like that?"
Ma Xiwei looked utterly confounded.
In front of her, Ma Zhenhe was lost in contemplation, pondering the future trends of the Pureblood Human Path.
Ma Zhenhe had heard from his daughter that Lin Zichen was attacked by the Divine Plant Cult during a military special training.
The scale of the attack was huge, even Rare-level Fighters were mobilized.
This indicated the Divine Plant Cult placed great importance on Lin Zichen.
Now, with school about to start, Yuan Dongzhi suddenly arranged for Shen Qinghan to join Tianren Pavilion.
All these actions seemed to hint that the Pureblood Human Path was not simple.
It looks like they would need to pay close attention to a few individuals at the Pure Human Research Institute in the future...
That's what Ma Zhenhe was thinking.
And Ma Xiwei in front of him was thinking the same.
Ma Xiwei pondered seriously.
Hesitated for a while.
Then she said to Ma Zhenhe, "Dad, I want to remove the Exotic Beast Gene from my body."
Hearing this, Ma Zhenhe frowned, "What are you thinking of doing? Don't tell me you also want to join Tianren Pavilion to walk the Pureblood Human Path."
Ma Xiwei pursed her lips and replied, "Dad, based on Lin Zichen's performance and the Divine Plant Cult's level of interest in him, the Pureblood Human Path is no simple matter. If I switch to it now, when it truly comes into prominence, I can be one step ahead and go further than others."
Ma Zhenhe scolded, "Ma Xiwei, what on earth are you thinking? Do you realize how much damage removing the Exotic Beast Gene from your body could cause? If it goes wrong, you might ruin your life!"
After saying this, he felt his tone might have been too harsh and spoke more earnestly, "Weiwei, think it over carefully. Do you really think Lin Zichen's outstanding performance is due to the enhancement from the Pureblood Human Path, or is it his own ability?"
"If Pure Blood Humans were really that strong, would they have fared so poorly over the years?"
"Besides, no matter how capable Lin Zichen is, he has not yet broken free from the constraints of being an ordinary creature."
"As long as he has not evolved into an Advanced-level Creature with a Pure Blood Human body, there is no future for the Pureblood Human Path to speak of."
"You're being too irrational in wanting to join Tianren Pavilion and walk the Pureblood Human Path now."
"You need to stay calm and not be so easily swayed, understand?"
"..."
Ma Xiwei looked into Ma Zhenhe's eyes, earnestly saying, "But what if Lin Zichen, with a Pure Blood Human body, does break free from the constraints of being an ordinary creature and successfully evolves into an Advanced-level Creature?"
Without hesitation, Ma Zhenhe replied, "Just because he can, doesn't mean others can too. Unless the Pureblood Human Path produces several Advanced-level Creatures in a short period, there's no need for you to even consider it."
"I understand, Dad. It's late; I'm going to sleep in my room. You should go to bed early too," she said.
