He Became A Monstrous Genius After Obtaining A Time Dilation Artifact-Chapter 523. Leaving the Low tier Civilisations 1
Meanwhile, somewhere far away from the low tier civilisations, two figures were seated on a star, having a cup of coffee and playing Go.
One of the figures was a handsome male with white hair. He was in a gentlemanly attire.
The other was a very beautiful woman in a simple t-shirt and trousers, black hair tied at the back. These two individuals looked extremely ordinary.
"Heh, you lose again," the feminine figure whistled in glee.
The male figure snorted. "Do you cheat or something? We’ve been playing for the last two centuries, and I have not even won one round."
"Two centuries, huh," the woman said. "I wonder what kind of surprises the next screening process will bring."
"Indeed. There’s actually a peculiar kid who managed to obtain a slot, Principal," the man said.
"Oh. It’s a pity he will not be partaking in the screening process," the female slightly squinted her eyes in surprise. "How come I, the principal of the Dao Enlightenment Academy, have no knowledge of this seedling?"
"Old Hag, it’s because you spend your days playing Go with me in this fragile solar system. But you see, I am at least more responsible than you, the principal," the vice principal, the man with white hair, continued. "Since you keep dumping your responsibilities on me, after the background scan of the young man was done, I gave the approval for the slot to be given to him."
"Oh please, Isaac. We both know we are not just playing Go here. I can’t believe that the vimodial we’ve been pursuing is still hiding. The moment he makes an appearance, we kill him and return to base."
Isaac sighed. "Honestly, Rita, I could use a shower. Had anyone told me the extreme zones would be this harrowing, I would have fled, or found a secret Sect to join before I was enlisted. Sigh."
"You cowardice knows no bounds, Ike," Rita chuckled. Her pupils reflected a look of playful disdain on Ike’s face.
"Well, anyway, concerning the kid, you should read about his achievements. One of a kind," Isaac said.
"Oh, there have been a couple of youngsters who enrolled with slots, seen all there is to see, haven’t we?" Rita said.
"This one is different."
"Oh, I’m curious. Coming from you?"
"Yeah, check it out."
Ike pulled out the profile feed of Kailen Darkhaven.
Rita started reading.
As she went through the information, her expression turned from casual to that of surprise.
"Started cultivating at 17, became a rank 1 Dao Level life form at 23. This kid is a rare gem indeed. Law of space?... He’s a monster."
She kept reading, skimming through unnecessary details like his background.
A rank 3 Black Flask Alchemist with a purity level of 99 percent, a rank 3 runesmith with a rune skill proficiency of 99 percent, Elemental mirroring tier 3...
Eyes widened.
She went through his battle feats and videos in the low tier civilisations, one after the other.
"Interesting. This kid has accomplished groundbreaking feats that would take some rare geniuses centuries to achieve in not more than 6 years? He’s definitely going to achieve great things in the future," Rita said. Her words were not of praise, but based on pure assessment. She had been an academy Principal for an extremely long time, but even among students that enrolled in the academy via slots for the past thousands of years, she had not encountered any student with the credentials of the young man.
Isaac nodded at her words. He felt the same way too.
"Let’s nurture him well when he enrolls officially," Rita said.
"Also, this kid has a terrifying backing already. No one can have these kinds of feats with just an ordinary power behind him. I cannot even begin to imagine how terrifying the power behind him is. Ike, kindly instruct all the mentors to not do anything nasty like forcing him to be their disciple. We do not want to anger the powerhouse behind him."
"Roger. Will contact them after we are done with the next round."
"Heh, you really have grown immune to defeat, haven’t you?"
"Let’s just play already... hehe."
The two powerhouses, rank 7 supreme stage Dao level lifeforms, resumed touching the Go pieces again.

Universe Alliance HQ of Low Tier Civilisations.
Planetary Sector Xerfan.
In a bar across a lively street.
"Did you hear the news about Excellency Darkhaven?"
"What news?"
"Seriously, you are at the HQ base of the low tier civilisation universe alliance, and you don’t even know this?"
"What, just tell me already!"
"He’s broken through to the Dao level, and not just that... he has mastered the law of space!"
"The... Dao... level... How long has he been cultivating?... This..."
"Heh, I was as equally shocked as you when I heard it. What’s more terrifying is that he mastered the law of space, one known in myths, completely difficult to master. What sort of comprehension ability does this guy really have... sigh."
"Indeed. There are people you simply can’t compare yourself to. These are the kind that are bound to shake the entire universe."
"Sigh. I would have found the words this fellow just said very weird, had it been about someone else. But if it’s about Excellency Darkhaven, I have no doubts he will make a name for himself across the Starry Seas."
"Does that mean that he will be leaving the Low Tier Civilisations?"
"Most definitely."
"It can’t be helped... someone of his caliber deserves a higher stage."
"Indeed. I’m also curious about the friends he came here to train with a few years ago. It seems they’ve all disappeared. In fact, one of them even established a sect. After that, he went into seclusion. All of them are probably in seclusion."
"I think so too. They are all monsters in their own right. It’s only natural they are serious about their cultivation. With someone like Excellency Darkhaven as their friend, it’s only natural they feel more pressured to grow stronger."
"Mmm."
Suddenly, someone’s eyes squinted as they looked through the window of the bar towards the distance.
"What is that?"
Another noticed.
"Is that a tear in space?"
