Evolving infinitely from ground zero

Chapter 311: 194. Alien-class Genius! Luo Qianxue!

Everyone was shocked by Lin Zichen's mental strength.

It was hard to imagine a freshman could have such a high mental strength, reaching Advanced Second Rank without fusing with the Exotic Beast Gene.

It was simply astonishing.

As a Legendary-level Strong Person, Ye Yongsheng felt only a slight surprise towards the high level of Lin Zichen's mental strength, and did not reach the level of shock as the others did.

Having lived for over a thousand years and having guarded the Origin Land for countless years, he had seen numerous top-level geniuses.

Among them, he had seen quite a few rare geniuses extraordinary like Lin Zichen.

It was not enough to shock him anymore.

Another point was that he himself, having evolved into a Legendary-level being, was a top-level genius that appeared once in a millennium.

His performance when he was young, compared to Lin Zichen now, would only be better, not worse.

"Vice Governor, the reason I've been hiding my abilities is that I fear if I perform too outstandingly, it will invite frenzied attacks from Heretics,"

"If they only attack me, it's fine, but I'm afraid it would involve my family."

"I can't bear that consequence..."

Lin Zichen, risking possibly displeasing Ye Yongsheng, voiced his concerns.

He spoke these concerns to Ye Yongsheng not to refuse to show his strength, but to seek protection.

In a word, I can show my strength, but can you ensure my protection?

Ye Yongsheng understood Lin Zichen's meaning and said with an unfazed expression, "If I tell you to demonstrate your strength without reservation, naturally, I will ensure the safety of you and your family."

"In the Origin Land, I dare not promise, but on the lands of Jiuzhou, when I say I'll keep someone safe, no one can harm that person."

"Therefore, you don't have to worry about safety, just show your strength as you please."

"..."

"I understand, Vice Governor. I will demonstrate my abilities to the fullest extent, so you can understand the upper limit of the Pureblood Human Path," Lin Zichen said respectfully.

As he spoke these words, his heart was filled with some trepidation.

Ye Yongsheng had only said that he would ensure his and his family's safety, but he had not specified how he would do so.

Would he assign a personal bodyguard?

Or relocate them to a safe place?

Or some other measures?

Ye Yongsheng had not mentioned any specific protective measures, which made it hard for Lin Zichen to feel reassured.

However uneasy he felt, Lin Zichen did not dare to ask.

Because he felt that he might have already offended Ye Yongsheng by voicing his concerns.

If he were to ask Ye Yongsheng how exactly he would provide protection, it would be tantamount to courting death.

Leaders mostly detest being questioned by their subordinates about their statements.

Lin Zichen could imagine the scenario.

If he were so foolish to ask Ye Yongsheng how exactly he would offer protection, Ye Yongsheng would probably think:

—Being a Vice Governor, if I say I'll keep you safe, it means just that. You still ask me how exactly I'll keep you safe? Are you questioning my ability?

Ye Yongsheng was unaware of all these irrelevant thoughts in Lin Zichen's mind.

He turned to his male secretary and said, "Xiao Zhang, add this student Lin to WeChat and send him that list."

"Yes."

The male secretary complied, walking briskly to Lin Zichen, pulling out his phone, opening WeChat, and adding him as a friend.

Then, he sent him a document.

The file name was—Alien-class Genius List.

Alien-class Genius List?

What was that?

Lin Zichen curiously opened the list, and immediately saw a bunch of names.

He counted, a total of 28 names.

He read through the names on the list, finding them unfamiliar, not knowing any of them.

Wait.

There was one he knew.

The familiar name was "Luo Qianxue."

Lin Zichen had a deep impression of this name.

Because this person was Shen Qinghan's never-seen-before senior apprentice sister, Yuan Dongzhi's top disciple.

At the same time, she was also suspected to be the white-haired girl transfer student from his second grade in elementary school—Bai Xue.

Lin Zichen remembered that this girl named Luo Qianxue seemed to be in the Origin Land now.

So... were all the people on this list in the Origin Land?

All were geniuses unknown to the world?

As Lin Zichen pondered, Shen Qinghan curiously leaned over to look at the list on his phone.

She did not recognize any of the names on the list; her social circle largely overlapped with Lin Zichen's.

People unknown to Lin Zichen were most likely unknown to her as well.

Huh?

Luo Qianxue? Only on m v|le|mp|yr

Seeing this name on the list, Shen Qinghan's delicate and pretty eyebrows raised slightly in surprise.

Her senior apprentice sister was actually on this list?

Was she an Alien-class Genius?

What level was an Alien-class Genius?

Could it compare with Xiao Chen?

Shen Qinghan silently wondered to herself.

At that moment, Ye Yongsheng spoke, "The people on this list are the top young geniuses in the country, and only those under 30 are eligible for selection."

"Every genius on this list is a rare talent that appears once a century; each has the makings of a legend, with the potential to evolve into Legendary-level beings."

"These Alien-class geniuses are the main force in Earth's resistance against the Origin Land."

Ye Yongsheng paused for a moment, then asked, "Do you recognize anyone on the list?"

"No," Lin Zichen shook his head.

"That's correct."

Ye Yongsheng continued, "Most of the people on this list were sent to the Origin Land for focused training before they were of school age, not on the same track as the geniuses who follow the education system like you."
