Scarlet Research Institute.

After three hours of recuperation, the nutrient solution dropped, and the capsule door slowly opened.

As the hose attached to his body automatically retracted, Feng Qi walked out of the nutrition capsule.

Picking up the towel on the table, he wiped the liquid off his body and changed into a clean set of clothes.

Taking a deep breath, he felt refreshed and comfortable.

The fatigue from training was swept away.

Then, he went to the sofa at the side of the nutrition chamber and sat down.

He looked up at the screen on the nutrition capsule, which recorded the details of his body, bloodline strength, age, and other data.

Three years had passed, and he was already 20 years old.

As for how long he could live in this timeline, he did not know.

However, judging from the situation of the previous timelines, living for another ten years shouldn’t be a problem.

During this period of training, he had become more and more comfortable controlling his strength. Under the enhancement of the Demon Dragon Rune Crystal, his strength had already reached Silver- Low Rank.

In terms of pure strength, he was not even inferior to an Silver- Intermediate body cultivator.

During this period of time, he had also been paying attention to Mu Qing in real time.

He knew that she had already joined a domain combat team and was about to step onto the real battlefield.

He was not worried about her safety.

Even though he had changed history and allowed Mu Qing to join a domain combat team that was different from history, Mu Qing’s strength was not affected.

While the special rune crystal on her gave her powerful strength, it also gave her unparalleled combat instincts.

In Wei Wei’s words,

if she really becomes enrage, this girl could easily overturn a Fang Level (LV 3) domain field and eat the spatial crystals in the domain field as snacks.

As Wei Wei, who knew Mu Qing the best and personally did her rune transformation, her evaluation was enough to show how terrifying Mu Qing’s strength was.

Even when she was in Star City Academy, she had never displayed her true strength.

Besides Mu Qing, Feng Qi was also in frequent contact with Lin Ran.

He used the excuse that the cultivation technique he was researching required mental attack techniques to urge him to do research in this area.

He also learned that

after entering the Tiger Soul Research Institute, Lin Ran displayed an extremely terrifying talent in spell research.

First, he officially announced the Hand Seal Technique to the outside world.

Then, he received the honor of the Gold Medal of Outstanding Contribution in the shortest time possible.

The embryonic form of the Hand Seal technique was formed, and a super spell school that could be recorded in history was born.

Apart from that, Lin Ran also released several very outstanding damage output spells in one go, making him a top celebrity in a short period of time.

All the media outlets scrambled to report the news on him.

But recently, in his connection with Lin Ran, he discovered something strange.

According to Lin Ran, after entering the Tiger Soul Research Institute, he had suggested more than once that he wanted to enter the cultivation technique research team to study cultivation techniques.

However, these requests were all rejected.

In order to stop him from conducting research on cultivation techniques, the higher-ups of the Tiger Soul Research Institute even specially held a meeting and criticized Lin Ran as a negative example.

Then, they persuaded him earnestly. All the higher-ups of Tiger Soul thought that Lin Ran’s talent in spell research far exceeded that in cultivation techniques research and he should not spend his energy on the latter.

In order to prevent Lin Ran from coming into contact with cultivation techniques, the Tiger Soul Research Institute even arranged a large number of spell research projects for him.

This was a little strange in Feng Qi’s opinion.

At this moment, Lin Ran had already stood out and was already a top-notch spell researcher in the outside world.

If the owner of the fog behind the Tiger Soul Research Institute wanted to launch Flesh Sacrifice, it could completely start controlling Lin Ran’s route.

However, Lin Ran’s initiative to apply to join the cultivation techniques research team was rejected.

According to the normal historical trajectory, even if Lin Ran did not join the cultivation techniques research team now, he would still do so one day in the future. Moreover, he would be the leader of Team Infinity.

It was be strange that Tiger Soul Research Institute did not agree at this time.

Two guesses appeared in his mind.

The first possibility was that the owner of the fog behind the Tiger Soul Research Institute felt that Lin Ran’s current influence was still lacking. It planned to wait for Lin Ran to have greater influence before launching Flesh Sacrifice.

However, this guess was unreasonable.

In his opinion, Lin Ran’s influence was completely enough. Moreover, as long as the feedback from the outside world was good, all the cultivators would soon know about the launch of Flesh Sacrifice.

The second possibility was that the current Tiger Soul Research Institute was not controlled by the owner of the fog.

Therefore, from the perspective of mankind, the Tiger Soul Research Institute felt that Lin Ran was more suited for spell research and should not waste his talent on cultivation techniques research.

As for Lin Ran joining the cultivation techniques team later, it was because Tiger Soul Research Institute was infiltrated and controlled by the owner of the fog at that time.

In comparison, the second guess was clearly more reliable.

After all, letting Lin Ran join the cultivation techniques research team in advance did not conflict with the owner of the fog’s plan. It could even be said to have laid the groundwork for it in advance.

When the Flesh Sacrifice was released, it could be said it was the product of Lin Ran’s x years of studies.

Therefore, the guess that Tiger Soul Research Institute had yet to be controlled by the owner of the fog was more reliable than the first guess.

If this guess was correct,

Feng Qi began to speculate about the time when Tiger Soul Research Institute was truly infiltrated..
