Chapter 226 Genius Doesn't Play by the Rules_1

Fang Yuan reported to the department, then returned to his little haven from which he had been absent for a month.

This time, he shouldn't leave the school for too long before the winter vacation.

But that's not quite right... in mid-November, the Battle Society's dojo learning activity was set to unfold, and he had applied to study at the Wind Fist Flow Dojo.

At that time, he might be out learning for a week to half a month.

...

Fang Yuan knew that, after this return, his tranquil campus life might soon depart from him for the coming period.

In September 2016, news of the discovery of Special Frozen Stones in the Antarctic Secret Realm stirred a wave in the academic world.

Eevee's Fire, Thunder, and Water forms were the first to be discovered, and at the end of the 20th century, the existence of the Leaf Spirit was detected; more than a decade later, the fifth form, the Ice Spirit, was confirmed. Eevee, shrouded in mystery, once again attracted the attention of the academic community.

Fang Yuan still remembered the initial Eevee craze... discussions about Eevee were ubiquitous across various websites.

Just a year later.

The thesis on Eevee's Fairy attribute evolutionary direction published by the Fairy King Xie Qingyi, and the news of the Fairy Spirit form being revealed, pushed Eevee to an incredibly high status.

Without needing evolutionary items to evolve into a strong, cute, and rare Fairy Spirit, why wouldn't a Beginner Elf choose Eevee?

Although later people found that Fairy-type Moves Secret books were incredibly difficult to obtain and making Eevee learn Fairy-type Moves was very challenging, it cannot be denied that the reveal of the Fairy Spirit form promoted research on Fairy attributes all over the world. Particularly in Hua Nation, research on Fairy attributes was far ahead of the world.

The price of Eevee Pokémon Eggs at the breeding house now is no longer as cheap as when Fang Yuan first purchased them.

And this phenomenon, I'm afraid, will become even more serious in the future, with Fang Yuan being the chief culprit...

The revelation of the Fairy Spirit form less than two months ago and the discovery of the Solar Spirit form were as if someone had dropped a missile in the academic world.

In just one year, three new evolutionary forms of Eevee had been discovered...

Was Eevee on its way to becoming a deity?

"One of the Top Ten Mysteries of Pokémon: How Many Evolutionary Forms Does Eevee Have? Updated again as Magic City University Research Department newcomer discovers Eevee's seventh evolutionary form!"

Hua Nation Pokémon Report covered such news.

The Top Ten Mysteries of Pokémon are the ten most discussed issues in the Spirit Academic World, such as the number of Eevee's evolutionary forms, which is one of them.

...

Europe, England, London.

Here resides a wealthy man, a Creature Collector, known as Shadow Tiger.

This magnate has many pleasures, one of them being collecting the Eevee Family.

Ordinary Eevee, Fire Spirit, Vaporeon, Thunder Elf, Leaf spirit, Ice Spirit... he has them all.

Among them, the magnate who offered a reward in the international Pokémon academic world to find Eevee's new evolutionary forms is also this man.

For anyone who can discover a new evolutionary form of Eevee and publicize the method of evolution, he will donate $1 million for each new form revealed.

That day, inside a luxurious manor in London, the Shadow Tiger, not yet fifty years old, received new information about Eevee from his butler.

"The Solar Spirit?"

"It's incredible, but why haven't the evolution conditions been announced yet? Quickly contact the discoverer and tell him we'll give him one million dollars just for revealing the evolution conditions."

The tycoon was as excited as a child, muttering the name of Solar Spirit.

First, the Fairy Spirit, and then the Solar Spirit, Hua Nation really is a magical place.

However, before the evolution conditions of the Solar Spirit could be announced, the tycoon was bombarded with a second piece of news that left him somewhat overwhelmed.

After the Solar Spirit, the existence of the Moon Spirit, with its dazzling golden circular patterns that glowed faintly under the moonlight, was also revealed!

Shadow Tiger almost thought his butler was joking with him when he heard the news, but after seeing the news report, he came to believe it was true.

The person who discovered the Solar Spirit and the one who proposed the evolutionary conjecture of the Moon Spirit... turned out to be the same person, a university student from another country.

"Fang... Yuan..." After saying this name in Chinese, Shadow Tiger told his butler:

"If they can reveal the evolved form, double the reward money. Also, you can ask this Fang Yuan if he's willing to come to England to study... I'm willing to sponsor his tuition... and help him pick the best school."

...

At this moment, Fang Yuan had no idea that someone in distant England had taken notice of his talents!

Now, he was following the uproar this matter had caused with a smile on his face.

Online, the name Fang Yuan even quickly shot up to the front of the hot search list.

Love Eating Roast Duck: We're both university freshmen, so why is there such a huge gap between people? I don't want to live.

Onix in Love with Cloyster: Doesn't anyone want to know the evolution methods of Solar Spirit and Moon Spirit?! Both of them look so cool!!

Chillingly Thoughtful Little Magnetic Monster: Stop begging, it'll definitely be announced. But one's Psychic Type, and the other's Dark Type, both rare attributes, so Eevee's price... won't it go up again?? I'd better take my Rattata and find the Eevee from the girl next door to have a Little Eevee, buying a Pokémon Egg is too expensive!

Aqua Jet Defeats Legendary Pokémon: I know this Fang Yuan, wasn't he the strongest New Trainer from Su province from the previous year?? He abandoned battling to be a researcher?? Holy crap, the world of the mighty, terrifying indeed.

Apart from watching the comments of silly netizens, Fang Yuan found that the editor called Xiao Shuangjiang appeared again, hyping up Fang Yuan and Eevee as the only ones in the sky, even predicting that Fang Yuan would make even bigger moves next, and the world should wait and watch.

"Damn, this guy..." Fang Yuan was confused. How did the other party know?

Who leaked the information?

Fang Yuan calmed down and decided to let it be.

Next, no one would be able to stop him from breaking through and becoming an "Official Researcher" with his subsequent research papers.

At this moment... Fang Yuan didn't even dare to look at his phone.

True, in this era of the internet, one hot topic is quickly replaced by the next, but this time, the hot topic he had created was a bit too big.

Thankfully, Demon Capital University helped him block the crazy media, otherwise, Fang Yuan wouldn't have been able to eat in peace.

...

Magic City University meeting room.

The Dean of the School of Pokémon personally convened a meeting, and everyone currently holding important positions in the Research Department was present. They began to discuss Fang Yuan, the genius who didn't play by the rules, and signs indicated that Fang Yuan was no ordinary student.

Being able to stir up such a commotion in the academic world at the undergraduate level, he was rarer than a Trainer who passed the professional assessment before graduation.

At least from now on, they couldn't treat Fang Yuan as an ordinary student anymore.
