I Can Infinitely Synthesize Transcendent Genes

Chapter 381: Sister, if you do this, I can only act recklessly this once (first update, asking for monthly votes)_2
 

Nagano, Elemental Association.

All eight Heads of the Courts gathered together.

The research meeting held by the Elemental Association, while touted as a learning opportunity for advancement, was in fact more about selecting outstanding talents.

At this moment, the plaza was crowded with many people, including the external court members from the Elemental Association itself, as well as the “elite members” who had obtained entry spots from various places.

Next, everyone would be assigned to different Internal Courts, and at that time, the corresponding head of the court would become their mentor in cultivation.

Those capable of serving as heads of the Internal Courts were basically Second Grade Element Masters, and according to Hu Xiu, these people were renowned figures in the martial world when they went outside.

Pei Jinye watched and felt moved.

The aura exuded by these eight Heads of the Courts was certainly not that of ordinary Fifth Rank Extraordinary individuals.

More importantly, these were not necessarily the strongest members of their respective courts, but more often embodied the role of transmitting their techniques and knowledge.

Their experiences, expertise, and related Elemental skills were far beyond what ordinary people could handle, which was also a main reason why the Elemental Association had continued to thrive for so long.

This also meant that the Elemental Association possessed at least eight bona fide Fifth Rank Extraordinary individuals, and even some who were Transcendent of the Sixth Rank and above, a “powerhouse” that Pei Jinye had never encountered even in his future life.

“This is the list for this selection of courts, totaling 79 people. Among them, 54 are elite members from our own Elemental Association’s external court, and 25 are elite members from outside. The introductions to their respective attributes have already been listed; you all can look over them first,” said Guo Zhenhai, head of the Dry Character Courtyard of the Eight Courts, with his usual expression.

In front of the other Court Heads sitting beside him, the medallions of their respective courts were placed, corresponding to the characters of the eight courts.

It was just that upon closer inspection, the number of medallions varied slightly, with some courts having a few more and others a few less.

“Everyone, please choose your disciples. If multiple people choose the same disciple, you may discuss it among yourselves. With that, let’s begin,” he added.

No sooner had Guo Zhenhai finished speaking than the medallions laid out before him flew out all at once.

The medallion of the Dry Character Courtyard appeared above the heads of no less than ten students.

“Elder Brother Guo surely picked a good disciple. I heard that Xie Lingyun has a Mutated Water Element. After some polishing by Elder Brother Guo, her future will be limitless,” a woman said with a light chuckle.

Guo Zhenhai simply smiled faintly, “The people chosen by my sister aren’t far behind either.”

Soon enough, the Heads of the Eight Courts finished their selections.

During the process, there were three lucky individuals who were simultaneously chosen by multiple courts.

Pei Jinye looked up at the young man beside him, who suddenly had four medallions appear above him.

This meant that four Heads of the Courts had taken an interest in him.

“Elder Brother Wang, with so many elites under you, how can I compete with that?”

“We can negotiate about others, but this one, I truly cannot let go,”

The other students also began to stir a bit.

The scene of being chosen four to one seemed quite rare.

The students who had already been selected gathered to whisper among themselves.

“It’s actually him… no wonder. If I had talent as good as his, I’d have a boundless future ahead.”

“Nangong Sheng… I heard he has a Mutated Fire Element. Some have witnessed his power, and the scene was extremely terrifying.”

“A true genius.”

“Shock, Li, Xun, Kun—apart from Li College, the other three are quite strong, right?”

“Indeed, Li College has been declining year by year; if it continues like this, it might really fall into disrepair. This year they only have five spots, what’s that even enough for?”

“Actually, Li College is in a tough spot. It used to be very powerful back in the day, but it’s just that a majority of people perished in the battle to protect the city…”

…

Pei Jinye raised his head.

He noticed that he was one of the five “lucky ones” chosen by Li College.

But with just a glance, he silently retracted his gaze.

“No worries, I’ll take my turn.”

…

He looked up again and saw Nangong Sheng’s self-satisfied appearance within his vision.

If I remember correctly,

this guy also wanted to get his spot through the Fang Family.

But unexpectedly, just a day later, he still showed up.

“In terms of ability, he’s indeed much stronger than the Nangong Family of later generations.”

As for this talent recruitment battle, Li College was the first to drop out, followed by the elimination of Shock and Kun colleges; the head of the Sun Character Courtyard, who looked like Maitreya Buddha, chuckled and said he was conceding, taking Nangong Sheng as a disciple.

With the end of the battle for people, the heads of each college took their people and left.

The head of Li College’s last name was Xiao, a middle-aged aunt who looked to be in her forties, and she was respectfully referred to by everyone as “Madam Xiao.”

Pei Jinye learned about Madam Xiao’s achievements through conversations of others beforehand.

She was not originally a member of the Elemental Association but joined later.

Her family of five was reduced to just her and her daughter surviving due to a battle to protect the city; Madam Xiao single-handedly raised her daughter while, on the other hand, she joined the Elemental Association where she displayed her extraordinary talent, becoming the head of Li College in just seven years.

Pei Jinye didn’t care whether the head of the college was powerful or not; since each college practiced their corresponding mental method, he didn’t have much to be concerned about.

It was simply a matter of whether there were many or few people in the college.

Fewer people meant more quiet.

…

He joined Li College.

Madam Xiao was decisive, sweeping away the previous discouragement at the plaza as she began introducing Li College.

The five new disciples, aside from Pei Jinye, all seemed more or less grief-stricken.

“Mother, are these the new disciples of the Internal Court?”

A clear and beautiful voice floated from behind everyone.

A tall and beautiful young woman appeared, her black hair tied into a ponytail, her blossoming figure hinting at the dazzling coming years.

Xiao Yuqing, Madam Xiao’s daughter.

She is now the eldest senior sister of Li College.

Madam Xiao nodded as a signal.

Xiao Yuqing, seeing so few people, took her mother aside, “Didn’t they agree to give us more people this year? Why aren’t they keeping their word?”

“Forget it. We can’t argue with them,” Madam Xiao shook her head, having already let it go, “These five are not too bad anyway. Since you’re here, you might as well teach them the Elemental Heart Method.”

“I’m going to find the president, they’ve gone too far!” Xiao Yuqing turned to leave.

Madam Xiao sighed helplessly and stopped her daughter, “Your junior brothers and sisters are still here. Is this how you set an example as their senior sister?”

Xiao Yuqing stopped in her tracks, turned around, and hesitantly looked towards Pei Jinye and the others.

…Nôv(el)B\\jnn

“The first three layers of the Elemental Heart Method focus on the basics, sensing the Elements in the air, and enhancing oneself…”

As Xiao Yuqing explained,

Pei Jinye noticed a line of text emerging with unusual speed on his attribute panel.

“Elementary Heart Method”: Beginner 20%!

This fast???

Is the mental method too simple?

No!

Pei Jinye raised his head to look at the beautiful senior sister in front of him.

It seemed that all of this was related to her.

“Senior sister, I have a question.” Pei Jinye suddenly raised his hand, ignoring everyone else’s gaze, and walked up to Xiao Yuqing.

He wanted to test whether being near this beautiful woman and listening to her explanation could speed up his cultivation.

If that was the case…

“Senior sister, then this junior brother can only be presumptuous.”
