Ding Huan was dumbfounded, he had threatened these students just a moment ago, not to make all of them leave.
If everyone left, wouldn't it mean that Yujiang University would not have a single student capable of entering one of the Blue Star Ten Great Colleges in the future?
But Ding Huan quickly saw that there were still two people who hadn't left.
"Why haven't you two left?" Ding Huan asked, puzzled, as he looked at the two male students still seated.
One of them immediately said, "We are students of Yujiang University, and it's only natural that we believe in our school's teachers."
Hearing this, Ding Huan wasn't moved much, but among the students who walked to the door, two stopped, hesitated a bit, and then returned to their seats.
"That's right, Fang Chong. You're correct, if the students of Yujiang University don't support Yujiang University, then who will? It's all just for show anyway, wherever we go for the last training, isn't it the same?"
The ones who returned to their seats were a male and a female student, and the speaker was the male student.
"Indeed, although Yujiang University is facing difficulties right now, I am very relieved to see that four of our students can stay," Geng Qianxing also said.
"Mr. Geng, our Yujiang University is not just four people, we have seven in total, and the other three left," Fang Chong continued.
Ding Huan gestured to Geng Qianxing to close the classroom door, then said, "You believe in me and Geng Qianxing, and we must ensure you get into one of the Blue Star Ten Great Colleges. That's my promise."
Although Ding Huan's promise was sworn, none of the four students took it to heart.
Even Fang Chong, who had initially spoken about believing in their school, didn't take Ding Huan's words seriously.
What he had said earlier was just social nicety, and in truth, for him, there was no difference between training here or not.
Get into one of the Blue Star Ten Great Colleges? That must be a joke.
Not to mention Yujiang University, even Luoh River Shangwu University, ranked among the top ten in the country, could only send one or two students each year.
"Perhaps everyone is familiar with Mr. Geng. My name is Ding Huan, and I will be your guide when you apply to the Blue Star Ten Great Colleges in the future.
Now, everyone should also introduce themselves, and then we can discuss the assessment of the Blue Star Ten Great Colleges a few months from now."
Ding Huan knew that no one believed him, but as long as these few stayed here to receive their training, that would be enough.
"My name is Fang Chong, a junior history major at Yujiang University," the first to stand up was still one of the two who had initially stayed.
"My name is Lv Zi," the student spoke in a very soft voice, appearing rather shy. He was one of the first two who had stayed.
"Mr. Ding, my name is Li Wanran, a student majoring in biology at Yujiang University," the female student stood up and crisply introduced herself.
She always felt that Ding Huan looked younger than her, but that hardly seemed possible. After all, Ding Huan was already a guide. Even if Yujiang University had seen better days, one had to be a university graduate to become a guide.
In fact, Li Wanran was not mistaken; Ding Huan was indeed the youngest one present.
After the environmental mutations on Earth, natural sciences were no longer the most important; Martial Arts and Genetic Studies were key.
As the young heir to the Baiyu Group, Ding Huan was naturally set to receive the best nurturing.
Raised in luxury, Ding Huan was not conditioned to endure hardship. Therefore, Ding Baishan had abandoned the idea of Ding Huan learning Martial Arts from a young age and then pursuing further studies in Martial Arts Academy.
Since he was not going to Martial Arts Academy, the only other choice was Genetic College.
Ding Baishan had made up his mind long ago that as soon as Ding Huan turned eighteen, he would have him fused with the most potent Martial Arts Gene Potion.
Thus, during his secondary education, Ding Huan skipped two grades, and in university, he did it again.
Nowadays, skipping grades in middle school wasn't just about having good grades, especially since Ding Huan's were not that great. As for skipping grades in university, it was even more difficult.
The reason Ding Baishan allowed Ding Huan to skip grades was to enable him to merge the best Martial Arts Gene when he turned eighteen, and then send him to the best Genetic College for cultivation.
Although Earth's genetic studies had developed over several decades, to date, it was still believed that only at eighteen could a person perfectly fuse with Alien Genes without causing harm to the body.
Luo Xinwei, the class belle, got lucky because of Ding Huan, having also skipped two grades in middle school and two more in university.
Otherwise, with Luo Xinwei's family background, no matter how good her grades, skipping grades wouldn't have been an option.
Unfortunately, this year Ding Huan finally turned eighteen, but Ding Baishan had gone missing.
"My name is Huang Chengwei, a freshman," the last student to introduce himself was the tallest, standing at around one meter ninety.
He too had stayed because of what Fang Chong said, otherwise, he would have left as well.
After the four students had introduced themselves, Ding Huan continued, "Next, let Mr. Geng talk to us about the assessment requirements and procedures of Blue Star Ten Great Colleges, and then I will assign training tasks for everyone."
Mr. Geng Qianxing had no doubts about Ding Huan's capabilities. Hearing Ding Huan's request, he immediately said,
"My fellow students, I believe you have all researched the admission conditions for Blue Star Ten Great Colleges—quite stringent, aren't they?
However, I have faith in Mr. Ding. He will surely lead everyone to achieve good results."
Ding Huan smiled and said, "Mr. Geng, although everyone is aware of the assessment conditions, please give a brief introduction."
In fact, everyone here was aware of the enrolment assessment standards of Blue Star Ten Great Colleges except for Ding Huan.
Geng Qianxing nodded and continued, "I won't go into how Blue Star Ten Great Colleges came to be, but those who enter are the world's top geniuses. Once you get in, you will enjoy the best Cultivation Resources on Earth.
Blue Star Ten Great Colleges conduct unified admissions, and the assessment content is divided into four main areas: gene compatibility, growth potential of genes, physical qualification, and martial prowess.
You'll soon understand Mr. Ding's capabilities. As long as you take Mr. Ding's training seriously,
even if you can't get into the top-notch places such as True Universe Academy, Planet Academy, West Hemisphere, there is still a chance to get into the Second Gene College or Da Han Yi Academy..."
Listening to Geng Qianxing's introduction, Ding Huan also gradually understood the specific standards of the Blue Star Ten Great Colleges assessment.
The Blue Star Ten Great Colleges are ranked from best to worst as follows: True Universe Academy, Planet Academy, West Hemisphere, Guardian, Yongzhou City, Air Ocean Academy, Future College, Martial Vein Mountain, Second Gene College, and Da Han Yi Academy.
Places like West Hemisphere and Guardian, although they don't bear the title of 'academy,' are still counted among the Blue Star Ten Great Colleges.
The first item in the assessment is gene compatibility, which is the chance of successfully fusing an Alien Gene.
Generally, a compatibility of 60% is considered E grade. As for A grade, that requires a compatibility of over 90%.
For ordinary people, reaching E grade in Alien Gene compatibility is a cause for celebration. However, at Blue Star Ten Great Colleges, this is merely the minimum requirement for entry.
Even if you reach E grade compatibility, it does not mean you meet the conditions.
Students entering the Blue Star Ten Great Colleges are all eligible for free fusion of one Alien Gene, and these genes are not the ordinary ones available on the market; they are highly valuable.
Even market-available genes like the Shi Yina Gene and other such genes must reach top purity once you enter one of the Ten Great Colleges.
Otherwise, you won't qualify to be chosen by the Blue Star Ten Great Colleges.
Such Genetic Potions are naturally very expensive, and if the success rate for fusion is too low, it's a waste.
The second item in the assessment is the growth grade of genes, which is also graded from S to E.
The higher the growth grade, the greater the future potential.
It's like if the same gene can be fused by two people, A and B, and A has a growth grade A while B has grade E.
After A fuses the gene, they could become a High-level Gene Cultivator, whereas after B fuses it, they could only become an ordinary Genetic Superpower User.
Naturally, Blue Star Ten Great Colleges want to invest resources in a genius with potential like A, while B would only be eliminated.
The third item is the physical fitness assessment, purely testing strength, speed, and agility. This type of assessment requires a foundation in Martial Arts.
Putting strength, speed, and agility together is also classified from E to S grades.
The fourth item is the Martial Arts ability test, which is simply a tournament. It's entirely a comparison of individual martial prowess.
This is also why students from ordinary schools or ordinary families very rarely pass the Blue Star Ten Great Colleges assessment.
Those who pass are typically cultivated from a young age.
After Geng Qianxing finished introducing the content and details of the Blue Star Ten Great Colleges assessment, more than an hour had passed.
"That will be all for today. Rest tomorrow and come back the day after tomorrow when we will officially start the training," Ding Huan concluded and signaled everyone to leave.
Now that he understood the assessment content of the Blue Star Ten Great Colleges, Ding Huan already had plans in mind.
It seemed fortunate that only four people were left; if he had to train twenty, it would be the death of him.
The first thing necessary for these four students to pass the assessment was to determine their compatibility with attribute-specific genes.
To do this, Ding Huan would need to concoct a Genetic Potion himself to test it.
For Ding Huan, Genetic Potions were not only for enhancing strength or physical skills, but also for testing, combat, research, and more.
