He Became A Monstrous Genius After Obtaining A Time Dilation Artifact-Chapter 530. Arrival

The massive spaceship slowed as it approached a gigantic star system.

Before Kailen’s eyes, a colossal star system came into view.

" This is one of the many star systems of the academy," the dwarf mentioned.

Several vast arrays of runic formations floated in the void of space, forming layers of protective barriers across.

Lightning, flames, and strange streams of majestic energies, surged across the runes, forming a terrifying defensive network.

"Incredible," Kailen thought.

Even before stepping into the region, he could feel the pressure of countless powerful auras.

The spaceship passed through several layers of defensive runic formations and clusters of star systems.

Each layer scanned the passengers, their cultivation, their identities, and even the fluctuations of their laws. Some dropped off at different regions, headed towards different planetary sectors and star systems in the academy.

Kailen and the dwarf finally arrived at the target destination.

The environment around Kailen changed drastically.

The air itself felt heavy.

The universe energy here was extremely dense, far denser than what he had experienced in the low tier Civilisations. Of course, the density of universe energy in the pocket world was leagues above what was here, Kailen thought. But still, this was very impressive.

" The universe energy in the academy is not just dense compared to the low tier civilisations," the dwarf said. "For someone who enrolled with a special slot, you are not ordinary. I am sure in one way or the other, you found out that the academy is established by the Universe Alliance."

Kailen nodded calmly.

The dwarf continued, "The Universe Energy gathering arrays of the academy are on an entirely different level. They were made by a certain alumni universe level powerhouses. These alumni are not below the rank 7 when it comes to runesmithery."

Kailen nodded calmly. He expected as much. As a runesmith, he could tell the difference between his level and the level of runesmithery used in the academy. Rank 7 runesmiths and above were really on another level.

The spaceship finally docked at a massive floating platform.

The platform was wide enough to accommodate dozens of spaceships at the same time. Thousands of awakeners were already present. Some were arriving. Some were leaving to various places.

The moment Kailen stepped out, he felt a couple of gazes.

Some were curious.

Some were indifferent.

Some carried faint hostility.

Must be a new student, they thought. But the academy screening process will be happening soon. It was yet to happen.

This only meant one thing. This person had enrolled via a special slot. That meant he was not ordinary, even though he looked weak. At this thought, several of the gazes directed his way finally disappeared.

The dwarf who brought Kailen here walked ahead.

"Follow me," the dwarf said calmly, not in the least bit surprised by the reactions Kailen was getting.

Kailen nodded and followed behind.

As they walked, Kailen observed the surroundings.

Towering structures floated in the skies, connected by glowing bridges flickering with the power of laws.

Some buildings were shaped like giant pagodas. Others looked like ancient palaces. Some looked like massive metallic fortresses covered in runes.

In the distance, he could see open training grounds. Some awakeners were battling openly. Shockwaves rippled through the air. Laws clashed. Explosions rang out. One of the individuals was ruthlessly overpowered by the other and died.

No one intervened.

Those watching did not look shocked. They looked used to it.

"Interesting " Kailen muttered.

The dwarf replied casually, "Yeah. The academy may be cruel, but it’s civilized. As long as it’s at unrestricted places, the academy doesn’t care. If someone dies, that only means they were too weak."

Kailen’s eyes flickered.

This place really was ruthless.

They continued walking until they arrived at a massive hall.

A large calligraphic inscription floated above the entrance.

— New Student Registration Hall —

Inside the hall, innumerable holographic screens hovered in the air. Several academy personnel sat behind long counters. Each of them radiated powerful auras.

Kailen felt faint pressure just standing there.

" How may I help you?" the academy staff asked politely.

The dwarf nodded towards Kailen.

Kailen proceeded towards the counter. A holographic display hovered before Kailen, revealing some sort of QR Code.

The academy staff, from the machine race, glanced at Kailen. Their eyes briefly glowed as they scanned him.

"As I thought, special slot enrollment. Interesting," one of them said. "Not bad for a newcomer."

Another staff member tapped on a screen imbued with runes.

A small jade token floated toward Kailen and attached itself to his forehead. It glowed faintly on his forehead and disappeared.

"Your ID token. It grants access to your assigned residence and basic academy facilities."

Kailen nodded. The moment the token entered his forehead, holographic details containing information flooded into his mind.

Residence location.

Map routes.

Restricted areas.

There were also basic academy rules, which basically entailed everything the dwarf had told him.

"Since you are familiar with the rules, you can leave."

Kailen nodded. "Understood."

The dwarf gave Kailen a nod. Kailen nodded back politely. The dwarf left after that. His mission was complete. He seemed impatient to leave for his rewards.

Kailen exhaled slowly.

He was on his own now.

Using knowledge of the map, Kailen headed towards the district where his residence was.

The academy was massive. The further he moved, the more he realized just how vast this place was. Entire mountain ranges existed within the academy’s territory. Rivers dense with universe energy flowed between certain regions. Some zones were completely sealed off, radiating terrifying pressure. Those places were clearly not meant for ordinary students.

After some time, Kailen arrived at the district. The district spanned three planets. Currently, he stood in the street where his villa was located.

The area was filled with rows of simple looking villas.

Kailen moved towards the house.

The moment he appeared before the house, something from the house, possibly an AI program in the house, scanned his forehead, where the ID token had fused with him.

[ Access granted, welcome, Mr Kailen Darkhaven ]

The ID token’s holographic screen appeared before him.

After that, Kailen nodded and entered the house.

The house was spacious. With his perception, Kailen scanned the house.

There was a large training hall in the house, infused with special universe energy gathering runes that concentrated universe energy in the room. The room was also made of hard material and was infused with protective runes of high quality to contain the brunt of attacks during training.

There were even virtual universe goggles for entering the virtual universe lined across stands in the training hall.

The place contained a kitchen, washroom, a living room, and a spacious bedroom.

"This place is much better than I expected..." Kailen muttered.

Suddenly, he heard some conversations outside.

" I heard a new student with a special slot has arrived."
