Professor Li's gaze swept over the six figures at the tower entrance one by one.
With each person I scanned, a greater sense of surprise arose within .
Although these people tried their best to conceal their aura, the oppressive feeling they inadvertently exuded was impossible to fake.
As one of the top scholars in Great Xia Country, Professor Li has t countless Geniuses.
But any one of these six people, taken individually, would be enough to move him.
Their professional grade is at least S-level or higher.
Professor Li was in turmoil.
friend?
He glanced at Gandalf beside him, who remained calm, and sneered inwardly.
This kind of nonsense might fool a three-year-old.
Are S-level and above professionals as common as cabbages? Can you just pull out a bunch of them anyti?
These people are definitely not ordinary friends.
This is clearly a top talent secretly cultivated by the military.
Only the military has such a terrifying foundation.
Professor Li's mind was racing.
There is no doubt that Gandalf is a mber of the military.
He's brought such a large group of top-tier fighters here, so eager to improve his strength.
I'm afraid... sothing big is about to happen.
Having figured this out, Professor Li felt a chill run down his spine.
He took a deep breath without making a sound, forcibly suppressing the shock in his heart.
This is not sothing a professor who does research should be concerned with.
Professor Li's expression returned to its usual amiable state, though his smile seed sowhat stiff.
He pointed to the six figures, his tone tinged with uncertainty.
"They... also have to undergo body tempering tests?"
Zhou Huai, controlling Gandalf, calmly nodded.
"Yes, Professor Li, is there a problem?"
Upon hearing this, Professor Li's lips twitched slightly.
question?
This is a huge problem!
He coughed twice to cover up his lapse in composure.
"I have no problem here."
"However, the amount of mortal demon origin stone required to perform high-intensity Body Tempering on so many people is not small."
He looked at Gandalf, a hint of inquiry in his eyes.
"Is the mortal demon origin stone you possess enough...?"
Zhou Huai smiled but didn't say anything.
He simply made a "please" gesture, indicating that Professor Li should lead the way.
This feigned mystery made Professor Li even more uncertain.
He shook his head, stopped thinking about it, and turned to lead everyone into the Body Tempering Tower.
The familiar laboratory, the familiar huge glass container.
Everything was the sa as last ti.
Professor Li walked to the control panel, preparing for the power-on process, and said "Dao" without turning his head.
" Take out the Mortal Demon Origin Stone first. I need to adjust the instrunt's paraters based on the quality and quantity of the Origin Stone."
"good."
Gandalf responded.
He didn't move, but simply nodded slightly to the lancholy, silver-haired man behind him.
Moria understood and slowly stepped forward.
He raised his hand, and the unassuming Storage Ring in his palm flashed with a faint light.
The next second.
Splash—
A series of crisp, rapid collisions suddenly broke the silence of the laboratory, like the most beautiful lody.
Upon hearing the sound, Professor Li instinctively turned around.
Then, he froze completely.
A "Holy shit!" blurted out.
Countless black crystals, shimring with a dark luster, surged forth from the small ring like a burst dam.
In the blink of an eye, a small, shiny black mountain, more than a person tall, was piled up in the open space in the center of the laboratory!
Each crystal exudes a pure and powerful energy fluctuation.
The light in the entire laboratory seed to dim slightly because of the presence of this pile of crystals.
Professor Li's eyes widened even more.
His expression went from initial astonishnt to shock, and finally to blankness.
Its mouth opened uncontrollably, so wide that it could almost fit a fist inside.
Ti seed to stand still at that mont.
In the laboratory, you could hear a pin drop.
Only the occasional, crisp sound of the crystals slipping off proved that what was happening before their eyes was not an illusion.
"Gulp."
Professor Li swallowed hard, his Adam's apple bobbing up and down.
He felt his throat was so dry it was on fire.
Having lived for nearly a hundred years, he considered himself to be quite knowledgeable and experienced.
The scene of so many mortal demon origin stones piled up in front of him.
This is truly the first ti I've seen this.
"You...you brat..."
"You little brat, did you empty the national treasury of all the Mortal Demon Origin Stones?!"
Zhou Huai's smile faded, and his expression turned serious.
He took a step closer and lowered his voice.
"The origin of these mortal demon origin stones is a matter of top military secret, and I cannot elaborate further."
" Marshal Zhao attaches great importance to this matter."
"Before he left, he specifically instructed that this matter was of great importance and I must not reveal a single detail to anyone."
"So, I hope Professor Li can keep this a secret for ."
Hearing Gandalf say that.
Professor Li imdiately revealed an expression of "I knew it!"
To be able to casually produce so many mortal demon origin stones.
Who else could it be besides the military?
He quickly waved his hand.
"I understand, I understand, I understand everything!"
"Don't worry, I'm very tight-lipped!"
"From now on, I see nothing and know nothing, Dao."
"Don't worry, everyone!"
Seeing his expression, Zhou Huai chuckled inwardly.
The objective has been achieved.
Professor Li rubbed his hands together, his gaze returning to the small mountain of crystals, his eyes practically overflowing with fervor.
"Since it's the Marshal's order, this old man will definitely cooperate fully!"
He walked around the pile of crystals as if admiring a perfect work of art.
Then, he stretched out his palm and aid it at the pile of mortal demon origin stone.
Buzz—
An invisible force surged from his palm.
The mountain of black crystals on the ground seed to lose its weight, turning into a black torrent, which was completely absorbed into the inconspicuous Storage Ring between his fingers.
After doing all this, Professor Li clapped his hands and looked at Gandalf and the others.
"Please wait here for a mont."
"These mortal demon origin stones are still just rough raw materials. They contain too many impurities and their energy is too violent, so they cannot be used directly."
"I need to go in and purify and dilute them, and then formulate them according to different physiology needs to create special energy agents."
Zhou Huai bowed slightly to the ground.
"Then I'll have to trouble Professor Li."
Professor Li waved his hand, his face beaming with barely concealed excitent.
"No trouble at ◈ Nоvеlіgһт ◈ (Continue reading) all! Not trouble at all!"
"Being able to process so many high-quality Originium stones at once is a rare experience for !"
After saying that, he turned around impatiently and strode into the tal door.
"Boom—"
The heavy doors slowly closed, completely isolating the inside from the outside.
Silence returned to the laboratory.
