Chapter 110

The existence of the Secret Treasure Gate, so coveted by all, was actually created by Dean Bai's mother as a 'law'—just how powerful must that Awakened be?

Sure enough, Dean Bai's next words were a bombshell.

"She is the Federation's most recent S-class Awakened."

Wen Jing:...!!

Seeing the students' unusually adorable blank expressions, Dean Bai couldn't help but chuckle, "How about that? Didn't expect that, did you?!"

"..."

No, she just suddenly understood what the term "[Rebirth Expert]" meant.

Chapter 110

Well, you could say that being Luck from the moment you were born is a good thing!

Wen Jing was taken aback by the information he had just received, then quickly recovered and asked, "Then what about when you said your enemies were some A-rank individuals coveting the Secret Treasure Gate?"

A treasure left to descendants by an S-rank Awakened —how could an A-rank possibly covet it?

That's an S-rank! There have only been six human powerhouses in the Federation's history. While there aren't many A-rank individuals either, one still appears every few years.

Was this a deliberate test given to the teacher by that S-rank student?

The next moment, Dean Bai said without any change in expression, "Because she has been missing for eighty-three years."

Eighty-three years... Wen Jing was stunned.

Because of the existence of the Ancient Wilderness Night, if an ordinary Awakened were to go missing for more than a few days, one would assume they were dead. Only when it comes to an S-rank Awakened would one consider the possibility that they are still alive.

However, it is clear that as the time of disappearance increases, the deterrent effect of the S-class will gradually decrease.

Wen Jing realized something. "Since the Secret Treasure Gate still exists, she should be alright."

Dean Bai shook his head slightly. "Laws are like programs added to the rules of the universe. Once completed, they have no connection to the person who created them... But let's hope so."

Looking at her calm expression, Wen Jing understood that after so many years, the teacher had probably already digested the Digestion.

Given her personality, she wouldn't need any comfort or support at this time.

It seems that the power of S-rank Awakened has reached another level, and their life or death status is far beyond the reach of Awakened below S-rank to interfere with or investigate.

For example, Wen Jing wouldn't even have the concept of adding a program to the rules of the universe if it weren't for Dean Bai.

"As for my enemies... it's rather complicated. I'm involved with three of the top ten conglomerates, but currently, the main one is the Taman Family, led by the Iron Curtain Security Group." At this point, Dean Bai paused for a moment and added, "They're also legally related to me, I suppose."

"Three conglomerates..."

It turns out to be complicated.

wealthy families

Is there a conflict of interest?

Wen Jing was surprised, and couldn't help but imagine a dramatic family feud.

"It's not what you think." Dean Bai could tell from Wen Jing's expression that she had misunderstood, and he smiled, "My mother awakened on the School District Planet, and I am her only child."

"My paternal genes come from an anonymous gene bank. My mother told me that it was a Luck number she picked on a whim the year she fully awakened."

Upon hearing this, Wen Jing couldn't help but twitch at the corner of his mouth.

Truly worthy of its dazzling Luck Aura...

After becoming Awakened, one's control over their body transcends the physiological realm of ordinary humans.

If an Awakened woman doesn't want children, she can simply stop ovulating. So whether Awakened wants children or not is entirely up to her own desire.

In this situation, Dean Bai's "Rebirth Expert" seems to be a result of his "Luck Aura."

"Then who are the relatives you're talking about?" Wen Jing, puzzled. They weren't paternal relatives, and Dean Bai's mother didn't come from a conglomerate. How could they be related to several conglomerates now?

Dean Bai said casually, "You've been through this too, haven't you? After you won the championship this time, didn't many wealthy people want to adopt you as their goddaughter and propose marriage to you?"

"Uh..." Wen Jing paused. She did know that this kind of kinship recognition was a high-level contract in her eyes. If she recognized the kinship, she could really obtain the same inheritance rights as other children of tycoons, and the order of inheritance would even be improved based on future achievements.

After all, while this world is full of unfairness, the probability of becoming Awakened is perfectly fair.

Even though reproductive technology can bypass the mother's gestation process, neither cloning technology nor immature eggs and sperm induced by technological means can awaken the embryo.

Furthermore, there is no such thing as "like begets like" in bloodline inheritance. Whether the children of two ordinary people are the same or the children of two Awakened, the probability of them becoming Awakened is the same.

Therefore, even conglomerates will absorb successors from outside if they do not have enough strong leaders.

but...

Wen Jing frowned and asked, "Even S-rank Awakened Ones recognize goddaughters?"

S-class power should be an absolutely transcendent existence. Even without the influence of the top ten conglomerates, there is nothing in this world that they cannot do. If they were willing, they could certainly establish a power comparable to the top ten conglomerates.

Dean Bai shook his head and said, "Of course not! They've adopted her as their godmother!"

Wen Jing: "..."That's right too.

Imagine if Dean Bai's mother had just awakened to S-rank from the School District Planet when she was eighteen, and a bunch of tycoons who had been "wandering for half their lives without finding a wise master" came to worship her as their godmother. The scene would definitely be quite spectacular.

"S-rank Awakened will naturally receive tributes from conglomerates, merely seeking some symbolic support. Therefore, the assets I mentioned are all external things. As long as you have the strength, people will willingly offer them to you."

Dean Bai shrugged. "However, it is precisely for this reason that even though my mother has been missing for eighty-three years, other conglomerates dare not covet what she left behind, while these people do, because they have a legitimate reason to do so."

"Conversely, in some matters, they also take the initiative to protect me."

Wen Jing nodded in understanding. Because of the disappearance of the S-rank, these people coveted the teacher's treasure internally, but externally, the title of S-rank was always a reliance for these conglomerates, and they would protect it spontaneously.

"These are the enemies behind you that you need to be wary of; the rest are the enemies on the front lines..."

"It involves a debate over the ideologies of those Awakened."

Dean Bai looked at Wen Jing: "In the current Federation, any department or industry involving Awakened is mainly divided into three factions. One is the conservative faction, which supports the Potential Rank Theory and believes that the Awakening level determines an Awakened's future and abilities."

"Another group is the Reformist Faction, who believe that awakening level doesn't represent everything, and that no position should be limited by the Awakened's level; the capable should be given the job."

"The last type is the Neutral Faction faction, who doesn't want to be on either side and hopes to maintain the status quo and a balance between the two factions."

After listening, Wen Jing could say without a doubt that, based on his daily understanding, he knew that Dean Bai belonged to the Reformist Faction.

"Conservatives make up the majority of the Federation's mainstream. Basically, most high-level Awakened are natural conservatives, with a small number of Neutral Faction. People like me and Old Xie are considered outliers."

At this point, Dean Bai smiled and said, "He said we were the kind of 'individuals who betrayed their class.'"

She then gave a ready-made example. "For instance, Dean Ailin of Mystic Radiance is a conservative, while Dean Fu of Azure Jade is Neutral Faction."

Wen Jing was surprised. "Isn't Dean Ailin very close to you?"

"Yes, I have a good personal relationship with Dean Ailin; she was my mentor before. However, she's on the opposite side when it comes to factional ideologies."

Dean Bai explained, "A direct enemy is different from the Taman Family. The Taman Family might resort to underhanded tactics without hesitation, but factional disputes are all about 'reputation'."

At this point, she gave Wen Jing a thumbs-up with her eyes crinkling.

"For example, if you win the Freshman League championship this time, it can be considered a great victory for us!"

"I see..."

After a conversation, Wen Jing fully understood the situation.

Therefore, after becoming Dean Bai's official student, her main concern is still the Taman Family, who are known for their underhanded tactics. The factional struggles are out in the open, and she faces various challenges.

Of course, the latter also needs to perform well, otherwise it will likely undermine the teacher's years of hard work.

The next morning, Wen Jingxian, who was still unable to enter the Ancient Wilderness Wen Jing, went to the official league venue with Dean Bai.

Upon entering the bustling venue, the Wilderness Weapon, which Wen Jing Jingxin had named [Tactical Glasses], reflected a dazzling array of colors into her eyes.

Although I saw a lot of people at once, I wasn't overwhelmed by the dense list of entries.

On the one hand, most people don't have many entries; on the other hand, Tactical Glasses are, after all, Wilderness Weapon, essentially for information transmission, and the number of entries displayed depends on Wen Jing's willpower and information reception ability.

Seeing that no one else seemed to be attracting attention, however, when Wen Jing's gaze, peering through his glasses, landed on the two deans at the top of the platform—

Almost immediately, their eyes turned to look at each other.

Wen Jing instantly retrieved the Wilderness Weapon, while Dean Bai took a small step forward, half-blocking her path, and greeted the two of them with a smile.

Seeing this, Dean Fu turned his head away speechlessly, while Dean Ailin returned a smile.

"It seems that it can be detected by perceptive and capable people, but most people weaker than you probably won't notice."

After the two deans looked away, Dean Bai turned back and whispered to Wen Jing.

"Mmm." Wen Jing nodded, still feeling a lingering fear, recalling the intense red light and the words he had seen when he looked at the two deans.

[Astral Resonance]/[Glazed Mental Body]/[???]...

[Deep Sea]/[???]...

Dean Fu's description seemed impressive but was actually quite mysterious. However, judging from the red light on his body that represented the difference in combat power, Dean Ailin was more terrifying, and there were fewer descriptions of her that could be seen.

However, the two characters' biographies are red and gold, unlike Dean Bai's seven-colored Luck Aura. It's unclear why there's this difference.
