Third Year, Rejecting Director Liu's Invitation

The Direct Ascension Class received the most resources. Each student received Ten God Source every month.

Each student in the Genius Class received eight God Source a month, each student in the Key Class received five God Source a month, while each student in the Regular Class received only three God Source a month.

Although the students in the Direct Ascension Class seemed to receive only two more God Source per month than those in the Genius Class, the actual gap was enormous. For instance, they could consult the directors every day about matters concerning the creation of Divine Kingdoms. The directors were their personal teachers.

Moreover, if certain directors thought especially highly of a student, they might even invest in them in advance, giving the student their own God Source to use. Once that student rose to prominence in the future, the returns would undoubtedly be exceedingly generous.

Thus, while their benefits appeared similar, their actual treatment was worlds apart.

This differentiated treatment existed to better cultivate geniuses and eliminate mediocrities. The world had always been like this: the weak were prey to the strong.

The next day.

Ye Xuan woke up from bed and went to report to his class. It also happened to be a day when the director was teaching.

He had been assigned to Genius Class One, which came as no surprise to him. As for Li Dong and Zhou Xingchao, they had also been assigned to Genius Class One.

That was no surprise either, because Li Dong and Zhou Xingchao had always been the most outstanding students in the entire Second Year. Once they advanced to the Third Year, they would naturally be in Genius Class One as well.

There were two Genius Classes in the Third Year. Class One and Class Two actually had no difference in treatment; they merely had different teachers assigned to handle their daily affairs.

When Ye Xuan arrived at the large classroom reserved for Third Year Genius Class lessons, he discovered that he was actually late. The teacher and students had all arrived long ago.

He was late because he had not slept all night, spending the entire time developing his Divine Kingdom. The five God Source the Principal had promised him had also been delivered, meaning he now possessed twenty-five God Source.

He had poured God Source into it all night, focusing on strengthening the foundation of Chaos in hopes of advancing as soon as possible.

Aside from that, he had also poured the remaining God Source into the phantom of the Destruction Godfiend, hoping that a second Godfiend would soon be born within Chaos.

He had spent the entire night building his world. By the time he came to his senses, class had already begun.

Ye Xuan did not interrupt the teacher or his classmates. He simply walked into the classroom and took a seat in a corner.

Though he felt that he had not disturbed anyone, both the teacher and the students were staring at him.

"This must be our student Ye Xuan! Ye, your reputation as a genius is now resounding throughout the entire school!" After seeing Ye Xuan sit down, the director was not angry. Instead, he spoke with a genial smile.

As a teacher at the school, he had naturally witnessed Ye Xuan's performance firsthand. It was not only him—who knew how many director-level teachers were now clamoring to take charge of teaching Ye Xuan, only to be stopped by Principal Zhang Yuanwu.

The Principal's meaning was clear: Ye Xuan would choose for himself, and no one was to force him.

Anyone could see that he was this kind of genius.

"Yes, Director, he's Ye Xuan—the one with the Waste World!"

Suddenly, someone spoke up.

Ye Xuan looked over and frowned. If this person had called him Waste World before, it would not have mattered much. But saying it under these circumstances clearly meant he wanted trouble with him.

However, Ye Xuan did not pay him any attention. He stood and replied to the director, "Teacher, I'm Ye Xuan."

"Mm, very good. There's no need to heed the comments of certain classmates. Just be yourself! Let me introduce myself. My name is Liu Qiang, and I'm one of the instructors responsible for teaching your Genius Class. Would you be interested in studying under me?" Liu Qiang first shot that student a deathly glare, then put on a smile and looked at Ye Xuan.

"Wow! As expected of Ye God—he actually gets the treatment of the Direct Ascension Class!"

"Yeah, yeah! I'm so jealous!"

The surrounding students looked at Ye Xuan with envy.

Even Li Dong and Zhou Xingchao could not help but look enviously at Ye Xuan, who had advanced alongside them.

They had all just moved up together, so why was the difference in treatment so enormous...

Liu Qiang's meaning was obvious. He was offering to personally guide Ye Xuan, teaching him the way students of the Direct Ascension Class were taught.

"This... thank you, Teacher, but my path is somewhat different from that of ordinary people, so... Still, if I have any questions, I'll come seek your guidance!" Ye Xuan declined tactfully.

He had a complete plan for his world. Ever since arriving in this world, he had already decided what kind of world he would create in the future. Fortunately, he had succeeded in creating it.

That was the truly difficult part. Having successfully opened up a Chaotic World, everything afterward was no longer a problem for him.

Therefore, he did not need anyone else's instruction, so he tactfully refused.

Liu Qiang did not lose heart and instead continued, "All right, then let's continue with the lesson! Within a Divine Kingdom, aside from the strength of its living beings, their numbers are equally important..."

The class ended quickly, and Liu Qiang did not linger. As soon as the lesson was over, he disappeared.

The moment class ended, someone appeared in front of Ye Xuan. It was the person who had mocked him earlier.

"My name is Yao Hai. You'll remember that name!"

Yao Hai declared arrogantly, looking smug and overbearing.

"Oh."

Ye Xuan responded with an expressionless "oh," enraging Yao Hai so much that he gritted his teeth and glared at him.

"Your reputation may be great, but the genius who ultimately gets admitted to the Five Great Academies will definitely be me!"

"Oh."

Ye Xuan answered with another "oh." He could not be bothered with this person, who seemed to have something seriously wrong with his head. He had come up acting as though Ye Xuan were some sworn enemy.

"Ye Xuan! Why did you reject Director Liu's invitation? I heard from the other students that he's the strongest person in the entire school apart from the Principal and Vice Principal!" Zhou Xingchao and Li Dong also came over to Ye Xuan. The three of them formed a triangle around Yao Hai.

Yao Hai looked around, then finally snorted coldly and left on his own.

Watching his retreating back, Li Dong said disdainfully, "Who was that guy? So arrogant."

"No idea. He's not important."

Ye Xuan shook his head. He ignored anyone who hated him anyway. Those people would never catch up to him.

"As for why I rejected Director Liu, it's because I don't think any of them can teach me. All right, enough talk. I need to hurry back and draw Divine Power. I still haven't entered the Apprentice Creator God realm..."

After leaving those words for the two of them, Ye Xuan walked out of the classroom.

It was not that he had forgotten; he had simply been so focused on the development of Chaos that he had temporarily neglected his own cultivation.

A Creator God was founded upon their Divine Kingdom. The stronger the Divine Kingdom, the stronger the Creator God. Raising one's own strength took only a moment; the difficult part was increasing the strength of one's Divine Kingdom.
