He Became A Monstrous Genius After Obtaining A Time Dilation Artifact-Chapter 548. Careful.

The Dao Enlightenment Academy was in shock.

There was only one name on various lips.

Kailen Darkhaven.

Several videos containing the same content were spread on different academy forums. Many played what had ensued below one of the cultivation mountains over and over again.

No one would have thought that this would be the outcome of the confrontation between Darkhaven and the strong students who planned to make him their lackey for their selfish reasons.

At most, he would have been able to put up some resistance, only to have been crushed in the end.

But many had gotten a strong reality check.

Kailen Darkhaven was abnormal. Even in the context of the academy where every student was a genius and could not be viewed with common sense, he still stood out. He was simply too abnormal, beyond even the definition of geniuses.

"During the ranking battles, he was still at the rank 3 beginner stage Dao level. Even if he had cultivated at a cultivation mountain for a week..."

Someone sighed.

"...I know... this cultivation speed is too abnormal. It’s true that the cultivation mountains are havens for cultivation, but still, no one who is rewarded after a mission and is allowed to cultivate on a cultivation mountain has jumped cultivation levels with this kind of speed."

Another added.

"I agree with you. He’s too mysterious. It does not make any sense."

"That’s what makes him a monster. In the vast history of the academy, even some veteran mentors who have taught here for thousands of years can admit that he’s the first person to have these insane feats."

"First a rune skill proficiency and purity level of 99.99 percent, then this... at this point, I don’t even know what to think anymore."

"The way he killed them hits harder than even the act itself. I can’t help but feel a chill whenever I watch the video."

"It seems no one will dare mess with Kailen Darkhaven from now on. I suppose the next time he participates in a ranking battle, he will shoot straightaway to the top of the rankings."

"No doubt about that."

"I don’t even think he’s interested in the ranking battles. Probably just participating because of academy rules."

"Yeah, after all, none of the mentors can even mentor him."

"In just a month and some weeks of enrolling, and then this happens."

"I heard the academy stores are paying large amounts of universe coins to purchase Kailen Darkhaven’s alchemical products and runic artifacts."

"Indeed. It’s not surprising with his level of skill."

"To think the academy hierarchy would be flipped overnight because of a new special enrollment student."

"Had no one decided to cause trouble for him, I don’t even think he would have caused a commotion."

"Yeah, that fellow would have probably completed missions silently and cultivated silently till he left the academy."

"Well, that is impossible. With the way things are structured in the academy, trouble is bound to come looking for you even if you are low-key."

"True."

"I honestly feel like I have a crush on him."

"Girl, don’t you have a boyfriend?"

"Tsk."

"If only it was possible to befriend him..."

"He keeps himself locked up in his villa all the time. He only comes out when he’s going to the academy shops to make transactions."

"Several high rankers have tried approaching him, but it’s been to no avail."

Similar conversations were happening everywhere in the academy.

At this moment, Kailen Darkhaven, the hot topic of the academy, was currently relaxing in his villa.

A week had gone by since the incident at the foot of the cultivation mountain occurred.

"It really feels nice, now that no one is coming to look for trouble. And it seems I don’t have to worry about universe coins for a while, considering the sales I’ve made."

Currently, Kailen was laying on his bed. He was going through academy feeds on academy forums.

"So much for keeping a low profile," Kailen chuckled lightly. His name was everywhere.

Some students had even formed some sort of fan club in his name.

What the hell was going on?

In one of the comment sessions, some ladies were even saying they would do anything to have just one night with him.

Kailen was shocked. So shocked. What is wrong with people these days? 𝘧𝑟𝑒𝑒𝘸𝘦𝘣𝑛𝑜𝘷𝑒𝓁.𝘤𝘰𝓂

The Time Dilation Artifact appeared.

"You can cheat on Arrie Hall. She won’t be around to see it, right?"

Kailen stared at her with a dumbfounded expression.

"Where did that even come from?" Kailen shook his head, surprised. Of all the nasty things she could say, this was what she could come up with?

"Hmph! You are such an unmanly man," she rolled her tongue at him mockingly.

"I hate to say this, but... fuck off," Kailen gave her the middle finger. Had she said any other thing he would have been careful with his words so he didn’t end up getting bullied by her, but Arrie was a different case.

She threw her hands forward. "Wouu, slow down Romeo. I just like those cultured fellows in those empire harem court dramas. That’s all."

Kailen chuckled lightly. This Time Dilation Artifact was simply something else.

"You need to be careful," she said with a serious expression. After that, she simply disappeared into the shadow expanse.

Kailen processed her words. A glint of realization flashed through his eyes.

"Word will travel by mouth when students leave the academy for missions. Also, the videos will naturally spread. Academy information brokers will definitely put my videos out there." He placed his hand on his chin.

"It’s only a matter of time before the mid-tier civilisations find out about me, and the things I’ve done in the academy, including the people I killed. Some of the people I killed are definitely from terrifying backgrounds—factions, sects, families, mercenary groups, academies of empires, amongst others."

"Eventually, when they find out I’m the one behind the deaths of these students, they will act. They can’t venture into the academy. But when I leave the academy for missions, it will be a different case. It seems I will have to be more careful from now on. The academy may be safe for me, but not when I’m outside."
