Evolving infinitely from ground zero

Just like that, they had spent a few days outside the city.

The two of them gradually became accustomed to the true intensity of the domain power rejection.

The reason they could adapt so quickly was that both of their biological levels were not low, one reaching the high level of Seventh Order, and the other the high level of Sixth Order, ranking them above average in the entire team of Alien Human Level geniuses.

"Now that you two have fully acclimated to the true intensity of the lower domain power rejection, it's time to leave the city for some training,"

Lan Tianbai said to Lin Zichen and Shen Qinghan in a calm voice, "For your first-time training outside the city, I'll arrange for some of the experienced team members to take you. Once you've gone out a few more times and are familiar with it, we can then consider letting you go out on your own."

Lin Zichen said, "Thank you for making the arrangements, Instructor Lan."

Lan Tianbai took out a map from his bosom. The map had many pale blue dots on it, which looked like coordinates of some place.

He glanced at the light spots on the map and said to them:

"Just right, several team members returned from training outside the city this morning. I'll take you two to meet them, see if anyone is willing to voluntarily take you out of the city for training."

"Okay."

Lin Zichen responded tersely.

...

Under a sky-scraping giant tree in front of the city gate.

Lin Zichen, Shen Qinghan, and Lan Tianbai stood under the tree, chatting and waiting.

Just five minutes earlier.

Lan Tianbai had notified the team members in the city to gather here using the Conch of Sound Transmission.

Now the three of them were all waiting for the team members from the city to arrive.

Only half a minute had passed.

The Alien Human Level geniuses Lan Tianbai notified had all arrived.

There were five of them in total.

All of them had just returned from outside the city today.

Lin Zichen glanced over and recognized two familiar faces among these five people.

One was Xia Liu, whom he had encountered a few days ago.

The other was the white-haired girl Luo Qianxue he had seen in a portrait.

Lin Zichen's gaze lingered on Luo Qianxue for a few more moments, the more he looked, the more he felt that Shen Qinghan's cheap senior sister looked just like Bai Xue.

Whether it was the color of her hair or her eyes, they were exactly the same as Bai Xue, the transfer student from his second grade in elementary school.

Shen Qinghan was also sizing up Luo Qianxue, noticing she looked identical to Bai Xue, stirring ripples in her heart.

At this moment, she was absolutely certain the cheap senior sister before her was Bai Xue from back then.

There could be no mistake.

"Now, let me introduce everyone. This pair of handsome boy and beautiful girl are the two new guys who joined our Alien Human Level genius team a few days ago,"

"His name is Lin Zichen, and her name is Shen Qinghan. They are geniuses who grew up on Earth since childhood, and they are only 19 years old this year."

"On the day they entered the Origin Land, they took the test with Qian Yifei and a few others."

"Among them, Zi Chen took first place in the test with an overwhelming advantage, showing during the test that his strength starts at least at the high level of Seventh Order, with exceptionally high Evolutionary Talent and a bright future ahead."

While introducing Lin Zichen and Shen Qinghan, Lan Tianbai spared no praise for Lin Zichen, as if afraid that the several veteran team members wouldn't realize how talented Lin Zichen was.

The reason for such praise was mainly to convey a message to the veteran members:

—The Evolutionary Talent of Earth is in no way inferior to that of aliens, capable of giving birth to geniuses comparable to top-tier aliens. If you can't surpass Luo Qianxue, it just means you aren't capable yet, not that Earthlings aren't.

He conveyed this information to the veteran members not to demoralize them, but to inspire them, lest they always sigh and feel inferior when facing Luo Qianxue, losing the drive for evolution.

Hearing that Lin Zichen was only 19 years old this year, but his biological level was at least at the high level of Seventh Order,

a young man named Fu Zhou among the five veteran members widened his eyes in disbelief.

A genius grown up on Earth?

19 years old?

At least at the high level of Seventh Order?

Are you sure this isn't a joke?

I'm already 24!

I've trained in the Origin Land for a full 16 years!

And now, my Biological Level has barely reached the High-Level Seventh Order!

What qualifies this Lin Zichen to be on the same level as me?!

The more Fu Zhou thought about it, the more outrageous it seemed, his entire being riddled with doubt, at one point even wondering if he was dreaming.

Opposite him, Luo Qianxue with her snow-white long hair also felt somewhat surprised. She hadn't expected Lin Zichen, who was the same age as her, to have achieved a Biological Level as high as High Level Seventh Order.

How did he manage that?

In theory, Earth, with its extreme scarcity of Evolution Resources, couldn't possibly nurture such powerful Living Beings.

What exactly is going on here?

Luo Qianxue racked her brains but couldn't find an answer; however, she didn't show any of this on her face, maintaining an expression of calm.

The remaining three veteran team members, Liu Xinyi, Gao Jianying, and Xia Liu, were all quite composed, not showing any shock or surprise like Fu Zhou and Luo Qianxue.

Because these three had already learned about Lin Zichen a few days prior and knew just how freakish this newcomer was.

"You five veterans, if anyone has time, help out by taking these two newcomers and get some training outside the city. I've got things to deal with outside and will be leaving first," Lan Tianbai spoke to the five veterans in front of him and swiftly vanished with a flicker of his figure.

After his departure, Shen Qinghan turned her gaze towards Luo Qianxue, who wasn't far off.

She opened her mouth, wanting to strike up a conversation with Luo Qianxue, who was right in front of her eyes.

But when it came to actually speaking, she found she couldn't say a word.

Her personality was a bit timid; she was too embarrassed to speak to Bai Xue, with whom she hadn't made contact in 11 years.

Having no other choice, she looked towards Lin Zichen and cast him a pleading look, hoping he would initiate the conversation with this old acquaintance from years ago.

Lin Zichen noticed her plea for help, didn't think much, and directly walked over to Luo Qianxue, straightforwardly initiating a conversation, "Hello, do you remember the two of us?"

Luo Qianxue did not expect Lin Zichen to suddenly come up and talk to her, feeling somewhat at a loss for a moment.

She had no experience in social interactions.

After a long while, she finally spoke with an emotionless and cool tone, "I only find your names vaguely familiar; beyond that, I remember nothing."

Hearing this response, Shen Qinghan felt somewhat disappointed in her heart.

Really doesn't remember anything...

How could this be...

We used to play so well together back in primary school...

Feeling downcast, Shen Qinghan suddenly thought of something and took off the Beast Fang she wore around her neck, gingerly handing it over to Luo Qianxue with a soft voice, "Bai... Senior Sister, this Beast Fang was given to me and Xiao Chen by you. Do you have any recollection of it?"

She pondered a lot before she spoke that sentence.

Initially wanting to call her Bai Xue, but she ended up using the more respectful "Senior Sister."

She was going to call Lin Zichen "Lin Zi," but to make Luo Qianxue have a clearer recollection, she chose to use the name "Xiao Chen," which she used to call him in the past.

Facing the Beast Fang handed over by Shen Qinghan, Luo Qianxue did not reach out to take it, merely quietly looking at it and then shaking her head, "I have no impression."

Is that so...

Shen Qinghan felt awkward, but even more so, she felt heartache.

At that moment, Xia Liu not far away shot a glance at his two junior colleagues.

Seeing the look from Xia Liu, Liu Xinyi and Gao Jianying immediately understood and promptly headed towards Lin Zichen and Shen Qinghan.

The two aimed to pick a bone with Lin Zichen and Shen Qinghan, thereby creating an opportunity for Xia Liu to appear as the hero stepping in to right a wrong.

"Hey, what's with you two newcomers? Not even asking your seniors their names before chatting away. Don't you have any respect, or do you just not know better?" Liu Xinyi was the first to cause trouble, charging up and speaking aggressively to Lin Zichen and Shen Qinghan.

Lin Zichen frowned upon hearing this and turned his head to look at the young man with the buzz cut approaching.

Leading this squad, full of top-tier geniuses, completely looked down on Lin Zichen the newcomer.

Liu Xinyi and Xia Liu bullied Lin Zichen and Shen Qinghan.

Newcomer, get me a glass of water.

Do you think I'd get my own water?

Also, those wanting to court Shen Qinghan completely disregarded Lin Zichen.

Just as Xia Liu was about to make a move, Lin Zichen stunned the audience!
