Chapter 224 - 0224 Wisdom Awakening (Part 1)_1
Yang Xinyi emerged from the bathroom and lay straight down on the bed as if she hadn’t seen Ye Xiong, not even bothering to cover herself with the blanket, thus leaving her long, pale legs exposed.
Ye Xiong took a sharp breath, itching to pounce like a conquering hero; but knowing Yang Xinyi’s personality, she would definitely resist.
Her purpose in dressing so seductively was merely to torment him with desire—and yet remain out of reach, until he could no longer stand it and was compelled to marry her.
Women, always so full of schemes.
Faced with this situation, the only thing Ye Xiong could do was to keep his eyes pure.
He closed his laptop, clutching it to his chest, and escaped to sleep in the next room.
Yang Xinyi paused, then furiously threw a pillow at the door.
After fussing all evening, she still ended up with nothing.
The next day, Ye Xiong drove Tang Ning to Jiangnan University to enroll.
Originally, Tang Ning had asked Ye Xiong to drive that Porsche worth over eight million to show off, and he was tempted, thinking that driving such a luxury car might help him pick up some pretty university girls.
However, Yang Xinyi disapproved, feeling it was too ostentatious and only allowed him to drive a white BMW worth a few hundred thousand.
Upon arriving at Jiangnan University, there were already many students enrolling.
Although Ye Xiong had been here once before, he wasn’t very familiar with the school and planned to call Lu Long to help him bypass the queue and go straight to paying the fees.
“Excuse me, are you a new freshman here? Do you need help?” A slick young man approached Tang Ning and offered his assistance.
“We are here to enroll,” Tang Ning replied politely.
“My name is Zhang Qiang, from the student council. If you need anything, I might be able to help you,” said the slick youth, eyes fervently fixed on Tang Ning.
Just as Tang Ning was about to respond, Ye Xiong cut in, “No need, we’re familiar with this place. Maybe you could help that student over there? She seems to need it more,” and he pointed to a girl who looked rather plain and skinny, dragging a suitcase that resembled a burlap sack.
The slick youth glanced at the scrawny girl, shook his head repeatedly, and sped off.
Quite quickly, he set his sights on another attractive girl and went over to chat her up.
“That technique of hitting on freshmen is so out. I didn’t even use it when I was in high school,” Ye Xiong scoffed.
“Cousin-in-law, such a catch, and you just wasted it,” Tang Ning said regretfully.
“Catch? What catch?” Ye Xiong was puzzled.
“That guy just now was a catch. Do you know how I dealt with such boys in high school?” Tang Ning asked.
Ye Xiong shook his head.
“I would make them carry all my luggage, let them accompany me to pay my tuition fees, and then when I said I was thirsty, they’d buy me water. When I said I was hungry, they’d get me food. After sorting everything out, when they walked me back to my dorm, I would regretfully tell them: ‘Senior, you’re really nice. If I didn’t already have a boyfriend, I’d definitely want you to be mine.’ You should have seen their faces; they were priceless,” Tang Ning said with a giggling laugh.
Ye Xiong was speechless, she truly was a temptress; anyone who met someone like Tang Ning would just have to consider themselves unlucky.
Next, Ye Xiong called Lu Long to have Tang Ning finish the procedures, happy to have some leisure time for himself, he strolled around the school, taking in the scenery all around.
Pretty girls, too, were a part of the landscape.
Without realizing it, he found himself at the base of an ancient building to the northwest of the school campus.
Biological Research Institute?
Instinctively, he made his way up.
It turned out this building was the biology building, inside its various rooms were numerous artifacts of ancient life, statues, pictures, and even some fossils.
In one of the classrooms, a group of students was in the middle of a lesson.
“Students, today we’re going to explore animal behavior. Some say the biggest difference between animals and humans is that humans have consciousness and wisdom, whereas animals do not, but that statement is not correct,”
said a professor in his fifties, wearing glasses and sporting a salt-and-pepper beard, lecturing from the podium.
“Animals, in fact, are like us, possessing wisdom too. It’s just that they don’t know how to learn, don’t know how to amplify their wisdom and pass it down through the generations, which is why they end up being considered inferior… Foreign biologists claim that with systematic training, even a dog or a cat could be taught to speak human language.”
“Dr. Zhao, there’s a term that’s become popular in the realm of biology, it’s called ‘awakening of wisdom.’ What are your thoughts on this concept?” a female student asked.
“Awakening of wisdom is a trendy term that refers to animals unlocking their own intelligence. In fact, this term shouldn’t be exclusively applied to the animal kingdom; it can also apply to humans. For example, when a baby starts to talk, or when someone in a vegetative state has their brain function unlocked and redeveloped, or even when certain individuals can’t control their behavior under special circumstances…”
Hearing this, Ye Xiong couldn’t help but be captivated.
He vividly remembered being mocked by Skeleton during their fight, being called a Gene Warrior without awakened wisdom.
Phoenix had trained with him for a long time, but couldn’t help him retain his rationality or control over his body when he transformed.
He wondered if this so-called expert in animal behavior studies could help him awaken his own wisdom.
If he could control his actions after transforming, his strength would increase exponentially. Then, even if he faced many more Gene Warriors, he wouldn’t be afraid.
Ye Xiong slipped into the back row of the classroom, sat down, and quietly listened to the lecture, but unfortunately, the rest of the lesson had nothing to do with awakening wisdom. After half a class, he hadn’t learned anything useful.
After class, Ye Xiong followed Dr. Zhao. When there were few people around, he caught up with him.
“Dr. Zhao, please wait a moment, I have a question I’d like to ask you.”
“And you are?” Dr. Zhao stopped and looked at him curiously.
“I’m a student from another major but I’m very interested in animal behavioral studies, especially the awakening of wisdom training you just mentioned.”
Ye Xiong thought for a moment and concocted a story, “It’s like this, I have a friend whose father has fits of rage during which he completely loses his reason. Strangely enough, after these fits, he remembers everything he did, but while enraged, he just can’t control his behavior… I’m wondering if there’s any way to solve this?”
Ye Xiong briefly described the challenges he faced after undergoing his transformation.
“Has your friend’s father ever been bitten by a dog?” Dr. Zhao asked.
“No, everything about him is normal…”
Upon hearing his report, Dr. Zhao fell into deep thought.
