Chapter 248: Xia Chunzhou's Fury 2
Sun Hongyi's final words before leaving left Xia Chunzhou in deep contemplation.
The reason for his silence was simple; what Sun Hongyi said was true, and he was absolutely correct.
To become the principal of Zhonghai Beastmaster University, his strength must be beyond compare to ordinary people.
And to be a renowned powerful individual in Zhonghai City, his talent must be exceptional.
It was precisely because of this that he understood the importance of talent.
Without exceptional talent, no matter how hard one tries, they can only become a decent powerful individual, a skilled Beastmaster.
But to stand at the pinnacle of the pyramid, effort alone is insufficient; talent is indispensable.
It was because he understood this point very clearly that he fell into silence.
And then, he actually started seriously considering the feasibility of Sun Hongyi's absurd suggestion.
If Li Qian's talent in cultivation truly amazed people, then headhunting him might be worth a try.
Just as Xia Chunzhou was deep in thought about this matter, not long after Sun Hongyi's departure, another person arrived.
This time, it was Shi Yulian from the Wind and Thunder Division of the Beastmaster Academy. She came over in a flustered manner.
When Xia Chunzhou saw her, he couldn't help but press his temples, wondering what this old lady wanted.
He hoped she wasn't here to stir up trouble.
As Xia Chunzhou was thinking this, Shi Yulian spoke up, "Principal, I've discovered a cultivation genius!"
Xia Chunzhou's lips twitched upon hearing this. The first thing Sun Hongyi said when he came earlier was almost identical to Shi Yulian's words.
This made him suspect that these two might have colluded, but this suspicion only lasted for a moment before he dismissed it himself.
Sun Hongyi and Shi Yulian didn't have a close relationship and didn't interact frequently, so it was unlikely they would collude.
"What genius?" Xia Chunzhou asked calmly, maintaining his composure.
"A cultivation genius from Jiangnan Province..."
Shi Yulian didn't hesitate and continued, "At the age of eighteen, having just graduated from high school, he has already mastered three Overlord-rank potential beasts and one Emperor-rank potential beast."
Shi Yulian was still speaking when Xia Chunzhou interrupted her, "Wait, are you sure it's three Overlord-rank potential beasts and one Emperor-rank potential beast, not two Emperor-rank potential beasts?"
Shi Yulian was taken aback by Xia Chunzhou's question, "Two Emperor-rank potential beasts?"
Xia Chunzhou nodded, "Yes, just now, Professor Sun Hongyi from the Cultivation College came to me and recommended a genius breeder as well. At the age of eighteen, having just graduated from high school, he has mastered three Overlord-rank potential beasts and two Emperor-rank potential beasts."
"Oh..."
This time, the one left dumbfounded was Shi Yulian. After a moment of stunned silence, she immediately spoke up, "I only know about the three Overlord-rank potential beasts and one Emperor-rank potential beast. As for more, I'm not very familiar with him, so I'm not sure."
By now, Shi Yulian was almost certain that the genius breeder Xia Chunzhou mentioned was the same person she had brought up, Li Qian.
It was unlikely that two such similar monstrous geniuses would exist in a short period.
Xia Chunzhou had similar thoughts, and after a glance at each other, Shi Yulian spoke first, "This student is named Li Qian, and he has already been recruited by the Shazhou Beast Academy."
"As expected, it's him!" Xia Chunzhou heard the name Shi Yulian mentioned and nodded slightly, barely perceptible.
Including Sun Hongyi, who had come earlier to complain, this was already the second time he had heard someone mention this name today.
While feeling slightly peculiar, he couldn't help but be filled with curiosity about Li Qian, a student he had never met before.
"Principal, I truly didn't know that in recent years, how has our school's enrollment process been conducted? Such a monstrous genius has been snatched up by another school..." Shi Yulian's complaints followed one after the other, causing Xia Chunzhou's lips to twitch again.
Hearing Shi Yulian's complaints about the school's enrollment process, Xia Chunzhou couldn't help but frown.
One person complaining could be a misunderstanding or deliberate slander, but two people made it a different matter.
Besides proving that Li Qian was indeed an extraordinary genius, it also indirectly indicated that the school's enrollment process might have genuinely encountered issues.
"Professor Shi, the new semester is about to start, and you'll be busy soon. Go back early, and as for the matter of recruiting Li Qian, I'll give it serious consideration..." Xia Chunzhou responded, and as he did, his expression became solemn.
If at first, facing such a situation, he had merely been in a playful mood, now he was genuinely taking it seriously.
Upon hearing this, Shi Yulian didn't linger and left Xia Chunzhou's office after a brief chat.
After Shi Yulian left and the scene returned to silence, Xia Chunzhou's thoughts began to surge.
Perhaps it was indeed necessary to send someone to make contact with this Li Qian.
At the very least, someone should be sent to gather information first. Xia Chunzhou didn't hesitate and immediately instructed his assistant to handle the matter.
He believed that with the resources of Zhonghai Beastmaster University, investigating a high school graduate's information would be an easy task.
"Old friend, I came here today to recommend a student to you. He's a genius Breeder." Just as he was waiting for his assistant to bring the information, another person arrived—it was Li Suokuan from the Teleportation Center. Upon seeing Xia Chunzhou, he spoke in a cheerful tone, directly stating his purpose.
"Er..." Xia Chunzhou's expression became even more peculiar.
"What's that expression for?" Li Suokuan saw Xia Chunzhou's reaction and a hint of confusion flashed in his eyes.
Xia Chunzhou smiled bitterly, "Before you, two professors from our school just said almost the same thing as you."
"Is it a high school graduate named Li Qian? He researched three evolution paths for Sovereign-rank potential Companion Beasts and two for Imperial-rank potential Companion Beasts..."
Hearing this, Li Suokuan muttered to himself, "Two evolution paths for Imperial-rank potential Companion Beasts? He's even more monstrous than I imagined..."
"Old friend, such a genius didn't appear at Zhonghai Beastmaster University. Honestly, it's a bit surprising to me."
Facing his old friend's teasing, Xia Chunzhou, who was usually known for his mild-mannered temperament, finally couldn't hold back his frustration, "Hmph, in recent years, our school's enrollment process has indeed been somewhat negligent. It seems we need to tighten our grip."
One person, two people, three people in a row, all recommended this Li Qian while complaining about the school's enrollment process.
He couldn't help but feel dissatisfied.
So many complaints were enough to prove that the school's enrollment process had indeed encountered problems.
The source of students is the foundation of a Beastmaster University. If there are issues with the student body, it will have a serious impact on the school's future development.
Thinking of this, his anger became difficult to suppress.
