Their appearance will inject new blood into our future and safeguard the safety of the Earth and the continuation of humanity.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Qian Chen's words were sonorous and powerful, and his tone carried a sense of worry for the future of humanity.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Tomorrow will be the start of our second round of assessments, and I believe and look forward to the second round bringing us even greater surprises...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Qian Chen slowed his tone towards the end, as if waiting for someone to interrupt.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Sure enough, a fat white man said abruptly, \"Director Qian, I have a question I would like to ask.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Qian Chen stopped immediately and said with a smile, \"Please go ahead, Deputy Leader Gu.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The white, fat man is Gu Xian, the deputy leader of the Gene Alliance. This guy is European; his Chinese is average, yet he loves to show off his Chinese.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His original name was Edward, but to show off his Chinese proficiency, he gave himself a Chinese name: Gu Xian.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In his mind, Gu Xian meant \"virtuous from ancient times.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It’s just that he got the character for \"virtuous\" (xian) wrong, turning it into \"leisure\" (xian). Later, no matter how he explained it, everyone defaulted to calling him Gu Xian.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Finally, having no other choice, he accepted the name Gu Xian.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Gu Xian coughed and said, \"Just as Director Qian said, many genius students did indeed emerge yesterday, but there were also a few students who cannot be judged by common sense. For example, Fang Chong, Li Wanran, and Lu Zi from Yujiang University...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The conference room was very quiet; almost everyone knew that the real purpose of this meeting was actually just these three students.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Or rather, not these three students, but who exactly is the teacher behind these three students?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"What is there that cannot be judged by common sense? Six years ago, during our admissions assessment, a student with a gene fusion rate of nearly 99% appeared.\" A displeased voice rang out.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The conference hall fell somewhat silent. The person speaking was white-haired and aged; it was Zhang Yongcheng, the dean of the Dahan Yi Academy.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zhang Yongcheng looked down upon the actions of the Gene Alliance over these years. Two months ago, when the Gene Alliance turned Puhai upside down, he was the first to stand up and oppose it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And the student with a gene fusion rate of nearly 99% who went missing after entering the Amazon six years ago—he also suspected it had something to do with the Gene Alliance.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Qian Chen nodded, \"Deputy Leader Gu is right, and Dean Zhang is not wrong either. However, this situation is different from six years ago. This time, three students reached S-rank simultaneously, and these three students all come from the same mentor.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Gu Xian said loudly, \"Yes, that is exactly what I mean.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"If this mentor can truly train such excellent talents, why don't we invite him to the ten major academies of Blue Star, or the Gene Alliance, to contribute to the future of Earth?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Hehe, Deputy Leader Gu is probably unaware. The person who trained such excellent students is named Ding Huan...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A woman stood up and said.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Before the woman could finish, a voice immediately retorted:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Qin Qiang, some things cannot be said carelessly. We heard that these three students were trained by two teachers, with Teacher Geng as the lead, and Ding Huan only assisting.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The woman speaking was Qin Qiang, the dean of the Martial Pulse Mountain Field, which is ranked eighth among the ten major academies of Blue Star.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The one countering Qin Qiang was Li Chuan, the dean of the Guardian Academy, which is ranked fourth among the ten major academies of Blue Star.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Qin Qiang said indifferently, \"I won't mind that Dean Li hasn't clarified the situation. I am just reminding Dean Li that in a conference room like this, it is best to clarify the situation before speaking.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Mr. Li, the mentor for these three candidates from Yujiang University is indeed Ding Huan as the lead, and Geng Qianxing as the assistant.\" Annio, the dean of the Planet Academy, stood up to help Qin Qiang.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Li Chuan frowned slightly and did not speak.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He was very displeased with this woman, Qin Qiang. Clearly a Huaxia person and the dean of the Martial Pulse Mountain Field, she not only leaned towards the Gene Alliance but eventually became a member of the Gene Alliance.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Who doesn't know that the Gene Alliance is now dominated by Western forces? The Martial Arts Alliance is the orthodox Huaxia force.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It was just that since Annio stood up to speak, he couldn't continue to argue. In fact, he hadn't investigated carefully at all, but he understood the severity of the situation.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Gene Alliance led the convening of this meeting, clearly targeting the teacher who trained the three genius students at Yujiang University.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Once confirmed, the disgusting Gene Alliance would definitely use a righteous reason to invite this teacher to sit in at the Gene Alliance, which in fact would be to interrogate him for his secrets.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>How many disgusting things the Gene Alliance has done over the years under the banner of justice—others might not know, but the deans of these few academies know a thing or two.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>◆co\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And what if they know?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Annio who spoke just now is a member of the Gene Alliance, and this woman Qin Qiang, who eats inside and out, is also a member of the Gene Alliance.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Of the ten major academies of Blue Star, at least four deans are members of the Gene Alliance...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Thinking of this, cold sweat suddenly broke out on Li Chuan's back. Has the Gene Alliance become so massive without anyone noticing?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Gu Xian laughed, \"Dean Li, we have no ill intentions. On the contrary, we want to vigorously cultivate and support talents like Teacher Ding Huan...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Qin Qiang chuckled and suddenly said, \"Deputy Leader Gu, if you knew that the two members of your Gene Alliance who were killed might have something to do with this Teacher Ding Huan, you probably wouldn't think that way.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"What?\" Gu Xian's smile faded, and a murderous aura entered his words.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zhang Yongcheng, the dean of the Dahan Yi Academy, said coldly, \"Dean Qin, one cannot eat just anything, let alone speak just anything. Do not spread rumors here about things without evidence.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A sharp voice directly interrupted Zhang Yongcheng, saying, \"Dean Qin, tell us the specific situation. We do need excellent talent, but that does not include people who kill the innocent.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zhang Yongcheng sighed and said no more. The person speaking was Shi Changqian, and this guy is a madman.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As the leader of the Gene Alliance, Shi Changqian has actually used a small town to attract genetic beasts and then surrounded and killed them.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Although the results of that encirclement were very good, even eliminating the threat of genetic beasts in a mountain range in one fell swoop, that small town also suffered heavy casualties.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As the instigator, Shi Changqian still kept saying he sacrificed a small number of people to protect more people. Even if he were to die, he would die without hesitation if it could protect more people.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Anyone with a discerning eye knows this guy is just farting; he values his own life more than anyone else's.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Even though it was just a small town in Europe, Zhang Yongcheng just felt uncomfortable in his heart.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>What is the purpose of the Gene Alliance, the Martial Arts Alliance, and even the ten major academies of Blue Star? It is to protect humanity and protect the Earth.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Using people as bait like this—what kind of justice is that?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Qin Qiang didn't care at all about Zhang Yongcheng's stern rebuke and continued to say to Shi Changqian,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Leader Shi, although I am not sure if it was Ding Huan who did it, I have found out a few points for your reference.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I was able to know about Ding Huan because Yujiang University's results were too good. I did indeed investigate Yujiang University, and I didn't know until I checked; once I checked, I really discovered all sorts of problems.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Li Chuan, the dean of the Guardian Academy, couldn't help but say, \"Dean Qin, you should consider things before you speak.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Teacher Ding is innocent. If an innocent person is implicated because of your words, can your conscience bear it?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Qin Qiang said indifferently, \"Dean Li, rest assured, I, Qin Qiang, do not need you to teach me these things. Everything I say has a basis.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"First, Ding Huan arrived in Puhai more than two months early. Before the two members of the Gene Alliance were killed, Ding Huan had gone to the Yudun High-end Hotel to scout the location, only he went a week early...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hearing this, Shi Changqian was so angry his teeth itched. It wasn't that he hated anything else; he hated that the Gene Alliance was raising a bunch of idiots. Such a simple problem wasn't discovered, yet Qin Qiang found it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He didn't know that Qin Qiang, as one of the deans of the ten major academies of Blue Star, was not only strong in other skills, but her intelligence work was top-notch.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A year ago, when it was determined that Puhai would become the location for the admissions assessment of the ten major academies of Blue Star, she had secretly installed hidden surveillance equipment in almost all the hotels around the Puhai Martial Arts Plaza.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>These surveillance devices were hidden in various places; without careful checking, even if they were renovated, one might not know.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She was certain that Ding Huan did this because she saw from the surveillance that Ding Huan reached the ninth floor by elevator and then walked to the eleventh floor by the stairs.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And those idiots in the Gene Alliance, the first step in investigating the footage was to rule out anything other than the elevator to the eleventh floor.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The workload was reduced, but it was useless.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>When she first learned this information, Qin Qiang didn't care. To be honest, although she was a member of the Gene Alliance, she didn't have any special feelings about the Gene Alliance members being killed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It wasn't until a few days ago, when the three students from Yujiang University tested at S-rank in the first round, that she knew this had something to do with Ding Huan and started paying attention. ===== CHAPTER 42 =====\u003C\u002Fp>",2011,"2026-06-17T23:21:20.864Z",1,"Gemini 3.1 Flash Lite","a2ab42296570f47dc7a2a450d80ce4f04a022501759c8248626e1ac3d25ff773","after-the-myth-chapter-42","after-the-myth-chapter-40",1000,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fafter-the-myth-cover.jpg"]
