493 The Dean’s Suggestion (1)
As the dean praised Xu Jingming, he also came up with some guesses by carefully observing the fleeting traces of his mental strength and thought projections.
Deputy Dean Redmond and Secretary General Blacksky didn’t say a word, so Xu Jingming naturally kept mum.
The dean observed for half a minute before saying, “Xu Jingming, in terms of the speed at which you become an Origin lifeform, you’re 35th in the recorded history of cosmic humans. Only five of the 34 people before you reached the Paramount realm. In terms of probability, the probability of you reaching the Paramount realm is very low.”
Xu Jingming listened obediently.
“I’ll give you two suggestions.” The dean’s eyes seemed to see through Xu Jingming. “First, your Life Evolution path should be more inclined to combat because you have great potential in combat.”
Xu Jingming was stunned. The dean said that I have great potential in combat?
“Different Origin lifeforms have different strengths. Some are good at research, some are good at research and combat, and some are inclined toward combat,” the dean commented. “From my judgment, you should be inclined toward combat. As for science, you don’t have to study it too deeply. Just reaching Lv. 100 is enough; don’t go deeper.”
Xu Jingming blinked. Inclined toward combat? Don’t go deeper? Lv. 100 is enough?
Dean, do you have any misconceptions about scientific education? Education Lv. 100 already makes one a great scholar.
“The reason why I suggest that you reach and stop at Lv. 100 is that learning too much and going too deep may not be a good thing,” the dean said. “This is because what you’ve learned is the knowledge accumulated by generations of humans in the universe. This knowledge is still focused on understanding our universe. As for the Primordial Star, it’s a great celestial body in high-dimensional space. The knowledge in our universe is sometimes not applicable when it comes to high-dimensional space. It’s even wrong.”
Xu Jingming remained stunned.
“Learning too much and too deeply would result in a firm understanding of yourself. When you study the Primordial Star, all that knowledge will become an obstacle,” the dean said. “It’s too difficult to break past those obstacles.”
“Therefore, the simplest method is to obtain some basic knowledge—knowledge that I recommended in the Primordial Research Institute’s database. Grasping this basic knowledge would end up around Lv. 100.”
“Thank you, Dean. I’ll focus on combat.” Xu Jingming nodded.
In fact, from the effects of Demon Vanquishing World and Universe’s Apex, his improvement was the fastest in combat.
The dean gazed at him. “My second suggestion: believe in yourself.”
“Believe in myself?” Xu Jingming was a little stunned. Believe in what?
The dean looked at him. “Don’t underestimate yourself. You have to believe that your potential is limitless. You can surpass all living things and have a chance of becoming the strongest human in the universe.”
Xu Jingming felt the shocks running through him.
Surpass all living beings and become the strongest human in the universe?
“Every living being, be it humans or aliens, possesses infinite possibilities.” The dean gazed at Xu Jingming. “The future is unknown. How do you know that you won’t be the strongest among cosmic humans?”
“In terms of probability, any human can stand at the apex of the cosmic human race in the future.” The dean smiled at him. “You have to believe in yourself. If you don’t believe in yourself, how can you reach the apex?”
Xu Jingming nodded slightly.
The future is unknown. I also have a chance of becoming the strongest human in the universe? Xu Jingming felt his heart burn.
When he previously learned of Deputy Dean Redmond’s achievements, he felt that it was very difficult for him to be on his level.
As for the three Paramount realm experts? They were the three greatest people in human history.
Xu Jingming had few thoughts about it and found it unattainable.
“You have to sufficiently believe in yourself,” the dean stated. “Belief is a very powerful mental force. It will silently affect your life.”
“Yes, Dean.” Xu Jingming was convinced.
Yes, the future was unknown.
For him to be ranked 35th in history, it was completely possible for him to become a Paramount. It was also possible for him to surpass the three Paramounts.
Burn yourself! Pursue the highest goal with all your might!
“I’m done meeting Xu Jingming.” The dean glanced at Secretary General Blacksky and Deputy Dean Redmond. “You may leave.”
“Dean.” Blacksky asked, “What’s the arrangement for Xu Jingming’s battle armor and spaceship?”
The dean thought for a moment. “Primordial Battle Armor #9. As for the spaceship, just stick to the usual.”
“Yes, sir,” Blacksky replied.
The dean smiled at Xu Jingming. “I hope that the next time I see you, you will already be a cosmic legend.”
With that said, he walked forward. He appeared to be walking into the depths of the building, but he was actually passing through layers of spacetime. At the end of the layers of spacetime, he turned into a miniature Primordial Star.
“Let’s go.”
Deputy Dean Redmond and Secretary General Blacksky walked out with Xu Jingming. After leaving the strange building, the door slowly closed.
“You have to take note of the dean’s advice,” Redmond said. “When the dean sees us, he sees many things. The advice he gives
 is also very suitable for you.”
“He requested to meet you and observed you with his own eyes to give you suggestions.” Blacksky smiled and said, “That’s because he hopes that you can go further. Otherwise, your achievements will be limited if you waste too much time taking detours.”
