429: Chen Tian'er! A true genius!

“As for this thing,” Chen Heng glanced at the cube in his hand.

“Forget it, I’ll study it first before giving it to you all.”

Chen Heng shook his head; he still planned to try it on himself first.

This thing was actually called a Gene Integrator, a product left behind by his Fellow Countryman after various transgressions.

According to the manual left by his Fellow Countryman, this small cube contained the Bloodlines of all creatures that had ever existed or were imagined in this world.

Many of them were extremely rare Bloodlines, but their stability was relatively poor.

It also contained many Vicious Beast Bloodlines from the Classic of Mountains and Seas, all of which were things he had researched himself.

It would be too dangerous to rashly give it to Bai Jun and the others. It was better to use it on himself first; anyway, he had a tough life and it was hard for him to die.

Moreover, a faint optimization button floated on this Gene Integrator, but Chen Heng temporarily had no plans to use it.

After dealing with the matters in the world-suppressing nail, it would still be timely to discuss it after he went out.

“Let’s go.” After putting away the Gene Integrator, Chen Heng led the group towards the Testing Ground.

The few of them exchanged glances. Although they didn’t quite understand what was going on, they still followed behind Chen Heng.

To be honest, if Chen Heng hadn’t had the illusion immunity of his Self-Transformation Great Freedom Heavenly Demon Body just now, he might have truly become immersed in it.

After all, who wouldn’t want to go home and see… Meanwhile, in the Xuan Alliance outside.

“No, the strength is still not enough.” Yi Rui stared at her messy hair, extremely anxious.

The engine she designed was theoretically achievable, but the Materials’ strength was too low.

Even with alloy Materials containing relic metal, it couldn’t withstand such high-intensity, long-term operation.

“Dean, this is already the strongest Material currently, besides relic metal.”

One Researcher also had bloodshot eyes.

Since learning about the Ultimate Return, they had only slept for a total of three hours over the past few days to sustain their lives.

If it weren’t for everyone having some level of Cultivation, this intensity of work would have led to sudden death long ago.

“How far along is the Materials Department’s reverse engineering of the relic metal?”

Yi Rui propped her hands on the table, turning her head to look at the Researcher beside her.

“No progress. We can’t even analyze what Materials are in it…”

The Researcher shook his head. He now really wanted to go back to the Chengtian Empire and beat up those slacking members of the Materials Department.

They had started reverse engineering the production of relic metal since the founding of the Empire, but even now, there was no progress whatsoever.

“Those people in the Materials Department have been too idle for too long…”

Yi Rui gritted her teeth. Everything about the engine was complete; all that was left was to use Materials of sufficient strength to proceed to the next step.

Yet, it was stuck here… Yi Rui was very unwilling, but she had no good solution.

She could only hope that Chen Heng would clear out the Testing Ground in the ruins soon, to see if they could replicate the relic metal with a more Advanced Testing Ground.

Just then, Chen Tian’er, carrying two books, walked in.

“Master, I’ve finished these two books, and I’ve memorized them all!”

Chen Tian’er placed the two brick-like thick books on the table, her bright, sparkling eyes looking at Yi Rui.

“Finished?” Yi Rui was startled. This was the foundation that students of the Chengtian Empire needed to study for four whole years, yet she finished it in two days… “Yes, and I’ve memorized them all too.” Chen Tian’er smiled sweetly, instantly curing Yi Rui’s volatile, almost explosive mood.

“Then Master will test Tian’er. You mustn’t lie to Master.”

Yi Rui’s voice softened as she gently stroked Chen Tian’er’s little head.

“Master, you can test me however you want, I’ll definitely be fine!”

Chen Tian’er patted her chest, replying with full confidence.

“Alright, then Master will test you…”

After a few questions, Yi Rui’s eyes lit up.

Chen Tian’er answered every question correctly without exception. Yi Rui became even more convinced that Chen Tian’er would be the best choice to inherit her legacy in the future.

As time passed, sweat began to bead on Yi Rui’s forehead.

She had initially thought Chen Tian’er’s claim of memorizing everything was just childish talk, an overflow of self-confidence.

She never expected that as the questions deepened, Chen Tian’er answered every single one correctly without exception.

“Genius…” Yi Rui murmured. Learning four years of knowledge in two days—if this isn’t a Genius, what is?

But what she didn’t know was that Chen Heng had already Optimized Chen Tian’er before.

Moreover, the Optimization branch chosen was brainpower, so understanding this level of knowledge was simply too easy for Chen Tian’er.

“Master, can I go out and play for two days?”

Unfortunately, Chen Tian’er was still too young to settle down and study.

“Go ahead, go play with your Grandpa Hua.”

Yi Rui chuckled, her previously anxious mood significantly improved.

“But only for today, okay? Tomorrow you still have to continue studying.”

Yi Rui affectionately stroked Chen Tian’er’s little head again, sending her out of the Testing Area.

“A bunch of useless people, not even as good as a child!”

As soon as Chen Tian’er left, Yi Rui once again reverted to her devilish, Rakshasa-like demeanor.

“Contact His Majesty the Emperor for This Old Lady, and tell him to personally oversee the progress of the Materials Department’s work.”

“I understand.” The Researcher smiled slightly; he had long been displeased with those idle people in the Materials Department.

With His Majesty the Emperor personally present, he didn’t believe those guys could continue to slack off!

Chen Tian’er had barely walked a few steps out of the Testing Area when she was immediately caught by Hua Luandao.

“Grandpa Hua, I’m here to Cultivate with you!”

Chen Tian’er followed by Hua Luandao’s side, making the old men behind Hua Luandao envious.

“How can that old man Hua be so lucky, to have Tian’er favor him.”

A Mahayana Stage Expert gritted his teeth. In terms of strength, he could beat fifty Hua Luandaos, but Chen Tian’er just didn’t like him.

“Exactly, exactly. That old man Hua looks like the sole of a foot that has gained sentience…”

Hua Luandao naturally heard the conversation of those Mahayana Stage Experts, but he didn’t take it seriously.

Instead, he turned back with a provocative and mocking expression, raising his chin at them.

“Hey! That old geezer, is he looking for death?!” A more hot-tempered Mahayana Stage Expert rolled up his sleeves, ready to go out, but was held back by the others.

“Don’t rush, let’s make our move after Tian’er leaves.”

The other Mahayana Stage Experts were also quite angry, and they already had a plan on how to severely beat up Hua Luandao.

Of course, they wouldn’t kill Hua Luandao; this wasn’t some life-or-death feud… They just needed to break one of his legs.

And also smash his head into a pig’s head… In the brightly lit Testing Ground, Chen Heng was currently cleaning… Well, actually, the Testing Ground was quite clean; they had virtually nothing to clean.

Although there wasn’t much to clean, one thing caught Chen Heng’s attention.
