In the year 300 of the Federal Calendar.
In the classroom of the God of War Academy, the white-bearded professor looked at the students below with disdain. "You are truly the worst batch of students I have ever taught. You are about to graduate from college, yet there are still some who can't even unlock the level 1 gene chain!"
Ye Senluo twitched the corners of his mouth twice. "Ye Senluo, what are you fidgeting about? I'm talking about you!"
Damn it! Ye Senluo cursed inwardly.
By this time, it had been exactly three hundred years since the spiritual energy of the earth had recovered. In this world where technology and cultivation coexisted, under the nourishment of spiritual energy, many humans had evolved their physiques. But Ye Senluo's physique was really hopeless. It was an ordinary physique. Due to its limited blood qi, it was unable to unlock the gene chain.
Unless Ye Senluo desperately trained his body and increased his own blood qi, there was a possibility of unlocking the gene chain. However, in this world, there was a lack of body training methods. Moreover, for an ordinary physique, it seemed that no matter how much one trained, it was all in vain.
"Ha ha, level 9! I have unlocked level 9 of the gene chain!" Just then, Zhang Tiezhu, his good friend, suddenly shouted excitedly.
This was truly a critical hit! Ye Senluo really couldn't understand why even a fool like Zhang Tiezhu could unlock the gene chain.
Zhang Tiezhu was Ye Senluo's best friend and childhood playmate. The relationship between the two was extremely good.
"As long as I unlock another level 1 gene chain, when the inner courtyard starts recruiting next month, I will be recommended to enter the inner courtyard!" Zhang Tiezhu was full of high spirits. All the other classmates looked at Zhang Tiezhu enviously. The outer courtyard of the God of War Academy was like an ordinary university. Anyone could be admitted by taking the exam. But the inner courtyard was a holy place for cultivation. Not only these outer courtyard students but also disciples of various sects longed to enter.
The white-bearded professor nodded in satisfaction and said, "Zhang Tiezhu, it will be very difficult to enter level 10 from level 9. I remember that Chen Hao unlocked the level 10 gene chain two days ago. You can ask him for some tips!"
Chen Hao was the monitor of Ye Senluo and others. However, he had never had a good relationship with Ye Senluo and the others. He stood up and said disdainfully, "What's the use of telling them the tips? Where can civilians like them get resources for cultivating immortality!"
"Damn, this bastard is so arrogant!" Zhang Tiezhu said angrily.
Ye Senluo curled his lips and said, "He is the heir of a viscount. Now in the Federal Empire, nobles are supreme. It's normal for him to be arrogant."
The Federal Empire was currently the most powerful country in the world. It had been established for three hundred years. The only country that could rival it was the Western Demon Kingdom.
Zhang Tiezhu was just about to continue to confront him when the bell for the end of class suddenly rang. Ye Senluo packed up his things and prepared to go home.
"Ye Senluo." A voice came. It was Chen Hao.
"Anything?" Ye Senluo frowned.
Chen Hao looked at Ye Senluo and said with a half-smile, "I'm going to get married to Li Yao.
" Huh? Ye Senluo was stunned.
What made him stunned was not the fact that Chen Hao was getting married but the person Li Yao.
Li Yao had once been Ye Senluo's girlfriend. However, in sophomore year, Chen Hao suddenly started to pursue Li Yao. Obviously, Li Yao couldn't resist the temptation of an heir to a viscount and readily agreed. After that, under the baptism of countless cultivation resources from Chen Hao, she awakened a powerful physique and had already entered the inner courtyard. This speed was even faster than Chen Hao's. You should know that Chen Hao hadn't entered the inner courtyard yet.
After all, titles could be inherited, but cultivation talents couldn't be inherited. Obviously, Chen Hao actually didn't have much cultivation talent.
It was just that Ye Senluo didn't expect that after two years of not seeing each other, Li Yao was actually going to get married.
To be honest, that relationship back then had really made Ye Senluo deeply involved and overly devoted. But if it was missed, it was missed. Ye Senluo was not a person who was stuck in the past.
So, Ye Senluo said freely, "Congratulations."
"Congratulations?" Chen Hao said in a strange tone, "Do you still have the nerve to congratulate me? I heard that you still can't forget Li Yao!"
Zhang Tiezhu frowned, "Chen Hao, if you want to cause trouble, find a better reason. As for a woman like Li Yao, who would be unable to forget her?"
"Heh, is that so?" Chen Hao sneered, "But why did I hear that Ye Senluo called Li Yao's name affectionately after drinking yesterday?"
Ye Senluo was stunned. Obviously, he didn't expect that he had slipped up after drinking.
Embarrassing! Truly embarrassing!
All the other classmates watched this scene with great interest. Especially those classmates with noble status showed amused expressions.
The struggles between nobles and commoners were always fascinating to watch.
Chen Hao looked down at Ye Senluo and said coldly, "Remember, Li Yao is now my fiancée. If I hear such rumors again, I will kill you!"
Saying that, Chen Hao left directly without paying any more attention to Ye Senluo.
"Wait." Ye Senluo suddenly spoke. "What? Are you not convinced? Want to play with me?" Chen Hao's expression was full of mockery. Zhang Tiezhu quietly stood in front of Ye Senluo. Chen Hao naturally saw Zhang Tiezhu's action, but he didn't care. He wouldn't take a commoner seriously.
In the eyes of all the classmates, some mocking and some sympathetic, Ye Senluo spoke. He said with a smile, "Chen Hao, I just want to explain to you that I really have no thoughts about Li Yao. After all, we had been in a relationship for more than a year. I have already understood everything I should understand. How could I still be unable to forget her?"
Having understood everything one should understand? The meaning was obvious!
All the students around were stunned!
Bang! Chen Hao slapped the table hard, his killing intent boiling. Ye Senluo sneered, "What? Want to start a fight? The academy has strict regulations. Students are strictly prohibited from fighting privately. Our school is one of the five major academies of the empire. As a mere heir to a viscount, you can't bear the punishment of the academy!"
After saying that, Ye Senluo casually whistled and walked out of the school, leaving a group of stunned classmates.
In July, the weather changed quickly. Just as Ye Senluo separated from Zhang Tiezhu, it started to rain. Ye Senluo ran towards a distant hotel to take shelter from the rain.
"Sir, if you want to take shelter from the rain, please stand farther away." At the hotel entrance, the beautiful greeter looked at Ye Senluo's cheap clothes and said mercilessly. Ye Senluo was not surprised. In the Federal Empire, all service industries were always for nobles. And no noble would be willing to walk around in cheap clothes.
Ye Senluo was about to stand farther away. But at this moment, a luxury car came speeding recklessly.
Perhaps this luxury car was not particularly outstanding compared to those cars at the hotel entrance. But it made the greeter's face change.
Because there were two words written on the license plate of the luxury car: Battle King!
In the three hundred years since the Federal Empire was established, there had only been one kingly title holder twenty years ago. That was the Battle King. He was second only to one person and above all others. His fief was the vast Jiangnan War Zone. You should know that there were only seven war zones in the entire empire, and the Jiangnan War Zone was at the top!
The car door opened, and an old man with white hair got out. The beautiful greeter was not unfamiliar with this old man. He was the old housekeeper of the Battle King's mansion and could often be seen on TV.
Just as the beautiful greeter was struggling with what kind of noble etiquette to use to greet this old housekeeper, she saw a scene that she would never forget in her life.
She saw the old man with white hair walk straight to the shabby young man who was already soaked by the rain and gently say, "Your Highness, the Crown Prince. It's time to go home."
At the hotel entrance, the beautiful greeter's face turned pale instantly.
