Starting by picking up a female fan, he swept through the martial arts world.

Chapter 116 Crazy Woman, You're Back?

"woke up?"

Liu Xiu looked at him curiously, his shock beyond words.

How could someone who had suffered such a mental breakdown wake up just five minutes later?

What kind of heaven-defying thing is this?

Jiang Lang didn't answer, he just sat on the ground in a daze, as if a dark cloud was swirling around him.

After a while.

He glanced around and found that the manor was already engulfed in flames, and the shattered corpses had been gnawed to pieces by some kind of insects.

Even Liu Xiu's nearly charred body was covered with bite marks.

Jiang Lang frowned: "Is this how you clear your name?"

"Will it work?"

"Um!"

"Don't worry about that!"

Liu Xiu raised his eyebrows confidently. There were no survivors left. They could easily stage the scene as if the pirates of the myriad races had suddenly stormed in and killed everyone.

As for why he and Liu are still alive, that's simple.

science and technology!

Given the resources and expertise of the Spark Research Institute, both feigned death and insect prevention have corresponding research findings that can explain them.

He was initially worried about how he could have suffered psychological trauma and how his memories could have been extracted.

Now there's no need to worry.

He suffered severe psychological trauma and may not recover for a month or two. Moreover, the traces of his memories being extracted are very obvious and cannot be faked.

This confirms the fact that the pirates stole the complete set of materials from the four fellow practitioners and left.

And myself.

As the director of the Spark Research Institute and a survivor, he is unlikely to face any difficulties.

Jiang Lang spat out a mouthful of bloody phlegm: "So, what exactly did you call me here for?"

"Let's cooperate!"

"cooperate?"

Jiang Lang almost laughed in anger: "Can't you just say you want to cooperate? Do you have to play this game of mutual destruction?"

Liu Xiu couldn't hold back any longer: "I've invited you several times, have you accepted?"

Jiang Lang: "————"

It's better to say something than to say it.

indeed so.

He rubbed his head: "So, how do you want to cooperate?"

Based on the memories he searched, Su Su looked down on Liu Xiu and thought he was weak.

But he's only relatively weak compared to Su Su and her brother; compared to others, he's definitely the toughest of the tough.

They can be considered as one of our own.

"Tell me! How do you want to cooperate?"

"Let's share resources! You can be my research material, and I'll help you get promoted to associate professor."

"Well----"

"You've exposed me completely, and you still don't trust me?"

"Not exactly!"

"Then what the hell are you talking about!"

"I was just thinking—"

Jiang Lang was finally able to ask the question ahead of time: "What secrets is the associate professor at Qida University hiding?"

Liu Xiu narrowed his eyes: "It's very simple! When you become an associate professor, you will gain the power of choice."

"What to choose?"

"Choose whether or not to become a traitor!"

"what?"

"You should also know what Qida's position is towards all races."

"A window to steal the technological progress of the Terrans."

"

"right!"

A glint of fanaticism flashed in Liu Xiu's eyes: "But it is also the window through which humanity steals the core bloodlines of all races!"

Jiang Lang remained silent, lost in thought.

Liu Xiu said in a deep voice: "Those races also covet our human technology. Whether it's producing potions to control those warlords or using it for their own evolution, they all need a research center, and Qida is that center."

Therefore, the core members here will inevitably come into contact with the secrets deep within the bloodlines of all races.

If these could be stolen, it would undoubtedly make a huge contribution to the advancement of modern technology.

Perhaps, humanity can change its underlying code as a result, and be able to directly absorb the spiritual energy between heaven and earth, just like those cultivators in the ancient times of the old era.

This is a cultivation system for everyone with near-zero cost; you should be well aware of its significance.

Jiang Lang was well aware of its significance.

The current cultivation system makes absorbing radiation extremely costly, so high-end combat power has always been concentrated in the privileged class. Even if there are commoners who rise to power, they are like Wu Lie, a martial arts student who learns both literary and martial arts to serve the imperial family.

Even the most ambitious students must learn to offer a toast humbly.

But if one could cultivate like in ancient texts—

This is disruptive to the entire social structure.

Jiang Lang was silent for a moment: "Is it possible? How exactly did you manage to do it?"

"I'm not sure!"

Liu Xiu shook his head.

Jiang Lang's eye twitched: "You don't know, yet you dare to tell me?"

Liu Xiu chuckled self-deprecatingly: "I have never entered the core of Qida. I only managed to gather bits and pieces of information through some means. Of course, I don't know what the bloodline core is, and I don't think this plan can succeed."

Jiang Lang was extremely agitated: "Then you fucking—"

Liu Xiu interrupted, "But she thinks she can! You know, she's always doing things that seem impossible."

Jiang Lang:

'

He fell silent.

a long time.

a long time.

He forced a smile and said, "It's a pleasure doing business with you!"

Liu Xiu stared at him for a long time, and the hint of jealousy in her eyes gradually disappeared.

He used to not understand why Su Su never seemed interested in him, even though he was the more rational and organized person.

Now he understands.

Because in desperate situations, rational planning is important, but rationality alone is not enough to break the deadlock.

To have a glimmer of hope, you need to have some unrealistic fantasies, and—believe in them!

It's easy to have fantasies.

I firmly believe that it is as difficult as ascending to heaven.

To be willing to give one's life for it is something only a madman would do.

The two remained silent for a long time.

Jiang Lang asked in a deep voice, "What would that pledge of allegiance be?"

He knew very well that it would be impossible to gain access to the core secrets of Qida University without paying a price.

Liu Xiu shook his head: "I don't know either, but since you can become Professor Su's student, he must have already prepared everything for you in advance."

"Um!"

Jiang Lang nodded and stood up expressionlessly: "Contact me anytime if you need anything."

That's all.

He staggered downstairs.

When he reached the top of the stairs, he suddenly stopped.

He turned around, glanced at the gruesome corpse on the ground, and his lips moved slightly: "This is a nice gift. Next time, let me know in advance if you want to give one."

Liu Xiu smiled slightly, but said nothing, simply watching Jiang Lang leave.

Although the figure was staggering, it possessed an indescribable power.

only----

It looks like a dog.

That makes sense.

That crazy woman must be very important to him, even more important than himself.

but----

Liu Xiu's expression was somewhat strange. Although he had been unconscious, his consciousness had been unusually active.

Souls repel each other, like water and oil. Even if they are forcibly mixed together, they will not easily become confused. In time, they will naturally separate.

However, he still came into contact with Jiang Lang's extremely terrifying memories.

In that memory, Su Su seemed like a devil, ruling over all the tortures called "special training".

Pain is rooted in the soul; he could feel Jiang Lang's fear originating from the depths of his heart.

There is definitely anticipation involved in the special training.

Yet they ruthlessly treated people as tools!

If he were Jiang Lang, he would never want to see Su Su again.

But...

This kid somehow managed to hide it in the deepest part of the interior.

really.

A person will only keep the memories they most want to keep.

If the madwoman were alive, Jiang Lang might still harbor feelings of hatred and fear towards her.

But now the madwoman is dead.

Then she is the most perfect.

Liu Xiu shook his head. Although today's meeting was full of twists and turns, he was very satisfied with the result.

Once Liu has finished handling his funeral arrangements, this farce can come to a satisfactory end.

He stood up, ready to urge Liu.

As soon as I turned around, I saw a familiar figure standing in front of me in the corridor.

That face was familiar, but it looked much more mature than I remembered.

Her eyebrows were raised in anger, and her almond-shaped eyes were filled with rage.

Liu Xiu was stunned, his voice trembling violently with excitement: "Su... Su Su?"

"call out!"

A fleeting afterimage flashed by.

The woman went straight back to the beginning.

He swung his arm in a wide arc and slapped Liu Xiu across the face.

Liu Xiu was completely stunned by the slap, his lips trembling as he couldn't utter a word.

The woman gripped his collar, her eyes bloodshot with rage: "You! Why did you bully him!"
