Chapter 183: Maximizing Talent

Ye Xuan looked at Su Mengli’s nervous appearance, smiled, and said nothing.

Su Mengli did not know the effect of the dog curse, nor was she aware of the existence of the Bond of Fate. Ye Xuan had his own considerations for not saying anything.

The dog curse was indeed powerful, but it was not without a solution, especially when facing opponents with special abilities, the dog charm spell might be completely useless.

For example, when encountering beings like the six-tailed white fox in the Magic Valley, who could manipulate minds and uncover the secrets within people’s hearts.

Su Mengli knowing about the dog curse’s existence would only make her more dangerous; the opponent would first take away the dog curse and then kill her.

If Su Mengli was unaware of this, then there would be no such worries. If Su Mengli herself did not know why she could not die, the enemy would naturally have no way to deal with her.

Therefore, not informing Su Mengli of the dog curse’s abilities was safer for her. Additionally, Ye Xuan was also worried that if Su Mengli knew about her immortality, she would wander around carelessly.

Walking by the river often, one is bound to get their shoes wet. If Su Mengli, relying on her immortality, disregarded danger, perhaps she would meet with disaster even faster than in her past life.

Furthermore, even if one could escape death, the pain of experiencing death, Ye Xuan had already experienced it once.

He did not want Su Mengli to easily experience that kind of pain, so as long as the dog curse could fulfill its purpose, Mengli did not need to know.

“Both of you are finally back. Stop wasting time; we need to hurry back to the Magic City.”

Upon hearing Zhou Qiang’s words, Ye Xuan asked in surprise, “What’s wrong? Did something happen in the Magic City?”

Zhou Qiang smiled and said, “It’s nothing major. It’s just that Lin Xu is worried that you two are having too much fun in the Capital City and have forgotten about him, the old dean.

Furthermore, without you two, there is a lot of pressure in the Magic City. The rewards over here have already been received, so let’s set off immediately!”

The Capital City is the core of China, where the top awakened individuals are mostly gathered. Although the Magic City’s economy is strong, it lags behind the Capital City in terms of awakened individuals.

Lin Xu is worried that the little wolf he raised, which has just shown its sharp teeth and claws, will be taken away by others, leaving him feeling frustrated.

Therefore, with the rewards in hand, he immediately urged the two to return, fearing that the elite awakened students of the Peking University Awakening Academy would snatch them away.

Upon hearing Zhou Qiang’s words, Ye Xuan said directly, “Mengli, let’s go back to the Magic City. We can absorb those fruits when we return.”

Su Mengli nodded slightly and said, “Okay.”

The three of them had only taken a few steps when they “coincidentally” met Chen Ya. “Why are you in such a hurry? Can’t you two stay in the Capital City for a few more days? Especially you, Ye Xuan, your control over your abilities is insufficient. It’s best to hone your skills in the Mirror Space for a while.”

Ye Xuan smiled and replied, “No need. I’ve already disturbed you for a long time. There’s also pressure in the Magic City waiting for us to return and share the burden.”

Upon hearing this, Chen Ya said, “The pressure in the Magic City is not a problem. If Dean Lin feels the pressure is not enough, I can arrange for two senior awakened individuals to go there. They can definitely share more of the pressure.

Both of you are juniors and don’t need to rush to the battlefield. In the Capital City, there are many geniuses of your age. Communicating with them more often will also benefit you.”

Chen Ya’s words were very reasonable, and for Ye Xuan, it was indeed the best choice.

There are many geniuses in the Capital City, especially a few SS-class geniuses. Ye Xuan has never even won a mid-class lottery once.

If they spend some more time together, they can meet the basic requirements for the lottery, which would be even better.

Upon hearing Chen Ya’s words, Zhou Qiang looked at her warily and said, “Instructor Chen, these two are the backbone of our Magic City University’s Awakening Academy. Don’t have any ideas about them.”

Chen Ya laughed and said, “I have no ulterior motives. I just hope they have a better development. I can guarantee that they will always be students of the Magic City University Awakening Academy.

As long as they maintain their ranking on the Hidden Dragon Ranking, the resources of the Magic City University will not diminish. Besides, this time, it’s not just the two of them who stayed.”

Zhou Qiang was taken aback and asked, “Are you saying…”

Chen Ya explained, “The top one hundred on the Hidden Dragon Ranking will mostly stay in the Capital City. The Capital City is the center of China, with the most top talents, the fastest access to high-end resources, ensuring rapid personal growth.

At the same time, transportation from the Capital City to various parts of the country is very convenient. Once there is a beast attack somewhere, we can quickly dispatch personnel to support, making the best use of talents. Isn’t it better than staying in the Magic City?”

Zhou Qiang hesitated, as he had originally wanted to take the two students away as soon as possible to prevent them from getting too comfortable.

However, Chen Ya’s words had convinced him. Ensuring the two’s identity as students of the Magic City University Awakening Academy meant that they would not be poached.

Moreover, staying in the Capital City would allow the two to grow better, which was indeed better for them, and the Magic City University would not lose anything.

Most importantly, those who stayed were not just students of the Magic City University Awakening Academy but also talented individuals from various places. With so many geniuses interacting, competing, and growing together, it would indeed be more beneficial.

After some thought, Zhou Qiang said, “Let me discuss this with our dean.”

Chen Ya smiled and said, “Of course, I believe Dean Lin is not someone who disregards the overall situation.”

Zhou Qiang nodded and prepared to call Lin Xu.

At that moment, Chen Ya’s phone rang.

Answering the call, Chen Ya chatted for a few moments before saying, “Director Zhou, you don’t need to make that call right now.”

Zhou Qiang was surprised and asked, “What’s wrong?”

Chen Ya handed her phone to Zhou Qiang and said, “There has been an incident on the Main line of the Beijing railway. A high-speed train on the secondary line has lost contact.”

Zhou Qiang’s face changed immediately, “All contact? What happened?”

Chen Ya shook her head and said, “I’m not sure either, but we have already located the last signal sent by the train. We should be able to find some clues there.

You wanted to go back to the Magic City, right? Perfect, go and solve this matter, check on your Dean’s peace of mind in the Magic City, and then let the two children come to the Capital City for training. What do you think?”

Zhou Qiang said, “Okay, let’s go with that.”

This was not the first time a train had an accident. The last time it happened, Ye Xuan encountered an attack by the Insect Emperor on his way back to Jiangcheng, resulting in heavy casualties on the train.

However, that incident had been resolved after Ye Xuan informed Lin Xu of the situation, and the trouble had been completely resolved.

Routes as important as the Main line of the Beijing railway must have been cleaned up by relevant awakened individuals. Yet, now, another incident had occurred, and it was unclear what kind of beast was causing trouble.
