He Became A Monstrous Genius After Obtaining A Time Dilation Artifact Chapter 539. Complete
A sweet-scented aroma wafted through the hall.
Then, several screams erged in the hall.
The eyes of the Vimodials turned bloodshot. Crimson veins appeared on their sclera. It was as if sothing inside them had snapped.
Then, their pupils shrank violently. Greenish substances began to seep from the corners of their eyes. The fluid was thick and viscous, trailing down their faces as their bodies convulsed.
The sight was extrely chilling and dreadful to watch.
No words, no statents, then, they fell on the ground lifeless. Horror, pain and dread was on their lifeless faces.
The whole room was silent.
The planetary district officials in the hall, who were fortunate enough to not have their life force drained, the governor included, had expressions of fear on their faces.
So even soiled themselves. The gravity of what had just occurred was extrely shocking.
The chilling sight of the vimodials absorbing the life force of their colleagues before them.
The dreadful sight of how the vimodials had suddenly died, the mont the sweet-scented aroma spread in the hall.
None of them spoke a word.
Had they just escaped death?
They felt grateful to whoever had saved them that they were alive.
They felt afraid of the person at the sa ti.
Were all academy students this competent and terrifying?
At the sa ti, they stared at each other warily.
Each was scrutinizing whether or not the other was a vimodial.
"Where is he? I should at least et him one last ti before he leaves. To possibly thank him... and if possible...." the governor muttered to herself.
At the mont, Kailen was observing everything on the roof.
He nodded quietly.
"Done deal."
[ Mission complete.
Report to the academy for your reward ]
A holographic information popped up on his id token screen.
Kailen sighed. "Could use a shower."
His spaceship appeared before him.
Kailen’s figure flickered. Very soon, the spaceship sped off.
He was headed back to the academy.
Whatever happened here after what he had done did not matter to him.
He ca to complete a mission, and he was done. Since his task was done, it was only natural he did not linger here any longer.

"Did you hear?"
"What?"
"Soone completed that mission in the Belhor Empire."
"Be specific. The Belhor Empire is large. Which mission are you referring to?"
"The one in the Orca Planetary district?"
"The one given to beginner stage Dao level students?"
"Yeah, that one. Almost no one returns from that mission. Those who return narrowly escape with their lives. So even return with wounds they are unable to recover from!"
"Wait... did you say soone? A single person?"
"Yeah, it is not even a group. A single person was sent on the mission, and they returned in just 2 weeks?"
"Are you kidding ?"
"Not joking. Heard this from a trusted source."
"The most terrifying aspect is the person completed the mission in just a single night. According to reports from the higher ups of the Orca Planetary district."
"Heh. I don’t believe this."
"It’s true. She’s not lying. I heard it too. It’s actually trending on so academy forums. I guess one of those information brokers leaked it."
"Seriously. Who’s this person who completed the mission?"
"He was trending on a few academy forums recently."
"The rank 4 Black Flask Alchemist and runesmith that killed a couple of students in one of the registration halls of the Alchemy Society?"
"Yeah, that special enrollnt student?"
"It’s him, Kailen Blodhart or whatever."
"His na is Kailen Darkhaven. There are a few rumors that he may have sothing to do with what happened to so three gangs recently."
"As expected of a special enrollnt student. This person is not ordinary."
"Even if he’s a special enrolnt student, he’s quite the abnormal fellow."
"Sigh. It seems the academy will get more interesting during the ranking battles tomorrow."
"Indeed."
Similar conversations were happening at a number of places in the academy.
Kailen didn’t know about the resulting fa his completion of the mission had brought.
"I suppose I cannot go to the pocket world or the cultivation mountain until the ranking battles end, since I cannot miss the ranking battles as long as I’m not on an academy mission."
200 days in the pocket world would be equivalent to 200 hours in the real world. This was the equivalent of 8 days and 8 hours.
Since the ranking battle was tomorrow, he’d have to wait till after tomorrow.
He couldn’t also go to the cultivation mountain because he would spend a week there.
If he went to the pocket world or the cultivation mountain now, he’d miss the ranking battles and he’d land into trouble.
Kailen took a cold shower, and went to bed.
The next day arrived in a flash.
The academy monthly ranking battles was happening today.
Academy students and ntors flocked towards a partular stadium the size of three planets.
Despite the size of the stadium, it would not have been large enough to accommodate the large number of students and ntors of the academy around for the ranking battles.
The law of space had been used to enhance the size of the stadium so that the large number seed accommodating, no matter how many filled up the stadium.
Very soon, various students and ntors had all arrived.
"We all know the rules of the combat rankings but I’ll go after them again for the sake of formality," one ntor explained. "Lower ranked students are allowed to challenge any higher ranked student of their choice and the higher ranked student cannot refuse. Deaths are normal. Don’t worry about ntors intervening because we won’t. As a matter of fact, we can’t. Perform well, and getting a promising ntor will not be a problem for you."
The combat rankings of the students appeared in the vision of all the academy students.
Kailen checked his rank.
He was the lowest ranked student. Not because he was too week. But because he had never participated in the combat rankings before.
Kailen was not perturbed. A glint flashed through his eyes.
Which higher ranked student would he be able to challenge and defeat? He started weighing his options.
