According to Nie Ting, he said that he felt as if the world was breaking apart. When Nie Ting used his powers, it would be in conflict with the rules of the world. He could make a move, but there was a high possibility that he would destroy the area beyond repair.
This was very frightening. No one knew what would happen after the world broke apart.
Thus, to outsiders, the Heavenly Network was now much more powerful than everyone else. The large organizations, such as the Bishop and the Saint, all sought ways to break through as well. Some organizations hoped that they would be able to produce Class A experts as well and seek new heights.
But only Shi Xuejin knew that after Network had advanced to Shen Cang Jing, the strength of the Heavenly Network had instead regressed. They were supposed to have the strongest combat power, but Nie Ting had reached a point where he could not even attack.
Of course, total destruction was still possible. Nie Ting was like a mobile and intelligent nuclear bomb that could fire several times. The price to pay was mutual destruction.
Shi Xuejin and Nie Ting were certain that the Puppet Masters already knew what was beyond Class A. Thus, they knew the consequences of a full-blown battle between two Class A’s. They also knew what would happen after Nie Ting advanced to Shen Cang Jing.
Back then, Cloud Yi and Tiger Zhi did not fight Nie Ting. From the beginning, they had their eyes on Li Xianyi.
Back then, during that stormy night, the Puppet Masters and the Golden Foundation had become enemies. This was a life-and-death matter. A battle was bound to break out some day.
If the battle really happened, the Heavenly Network would probably have to side with the Golden Foundation. This was the rule of the world. The Puppet Masters were outsiders.
Everyone knew the reason why the Golden Foundation existed and the details behind it. Thus, even if a very strong expert appeared, they were not afraid. They would not be scared even if the Saint broke through. They were scared of the unknown.
No one knew what was behind the barrier to the exiled land. No one knew what the Puppet Masters represented either.
Back then, Nie Ting wanted to chase and kill the Saint and the Bishop, but he could not. Furthermore, Lu Shu’s call made Nie Ting so angry that he almost grew unstable.
After Coral followed Chen Baili and Nie Ting back to the Capital, she did not return to Luo City immediately. Instead, she requested to visit the cemetery.
Shi Xuejin was slightly puzzled. The only link that Coral had to the cemetery was Liu Xiu. But Coral had lost her memory. What was happening?
Before Nie Ting went into hiding, he had told Zhong Yutang that no one from the Luo Shen Cultivation College species research specialization would be allowed to participate in the competition among the seven major Cultivation College.
To be honest, he was not targeting Lu Shu. He had made this decision to protect the students from the other Cultivation Colleges...
Zhong Yutang agreed with Nie Ting’s decision. After all, the other principals were his colleagues. If Lu Shu created a disaster, it would be hard to face them.
It was entirely possible for Lu Shu to do that!
Zhong Yutang was in his office discussing the management of the black market with You Mingyu. Recently, more and more secret practitioners had come to the black market. In the past, they had hoped that everyone would congregate, making it easier to control them. Now, the Heavenly Network wanted to make greater use of the secret practitioners.
The problem was determining what the secret practitioners would do. The secret practitioners could not be considered weak. You Mingyu wanted to build a massive secret practitioner trading system, to gather training resources scattered all over the world.
But they had to wait for the situation to mature. They could not be rash.
Suddenly, there was a call. Zhong Yutang picked up the call. The person on the line shouted, “Principal, principal! The species research specialization is going to cause big trouble!”
When Zhong Yutang heard the words “species research specialization”, he became anxious.
“We’re done! We’re all done for!”
Lu Shu, Lu Xiaoyu, Cao Qingci, Chen Zuan, and Cheng Qiuqiao were stuck in the laboratory all day. They could not dissect their specimens. Thus, they could only gamble or watch movies. They even played games.
The facilities outside the laboratory were very complete. There were many computer rooms, as well as media equipment.
Lu Shu looked at the news on the Golden Foundation forum. The mutated creatures had created some trouble again. The mutation of plants, which everyone was most afraid of, had not happened yet. However, the invasion of plant species in some areas had become more vicious.
Earlier, there had been a plague of locusts in northern China. The mutated locusts were as large as a thumb. At first, the Heavenly Network was very worried as although they did not attack humans, they ate crops very quickly, faster than in the past.
But before the Heavenly Network could assemble forces to get rid of the locusts, the locals had banded together to exterminate them.
At first, everyone was rather afraid. After all, they were mutated locusts. They sounded very frightening.
Later on, everyone realized that the mutated locusts did not attack humans. They grew more daring.
With the mindset that if you eat my crops, I will destroy you, there were humans everywhere the locusts went. For a period of time, there were more locusts caught then locusts running around. Some people even started to gather locusts.
Typically, locusts were sold for 60 dollars per kilogram. But the mutated locusts were sold for 180 dollars per kilogram. They were earning profits...
In the end, the intelligent insects had no choice but to run north. The entirety of Russia suffered...
The locals felt that it was somewhat of a pity. These mutated insects were rather tasty. Why did they run overseas? Do come back and visit...
But the mutated plants were different. Everyone found out that many animals had not changed their eating habits, but many plants took in everything that was nutritious to them. This was frightening.
While Lu Shu was reading the news, a movie was playing in the laboratory. A group of people was gathered on a sofa in the projector room. They were watching a horror movie about a murder.
Lu Xiaoyu enjoyed the entire show. But when she turned around, she suddenly realized that Cheng Qiuqiao and Chen Zuan had curled up like a ball. They seemed very scared. She laughed coldly. “Was it that scary? Aren’t you embarrassed?”
Chen Zuan felt very helpless after being humiliated by Lu Xiaoyu. He pointed at Cao Qingci. “If you want to watch a movie, then watch it. Can you stop her from writing things down? We are very scared...”
Lu Shu was speechless.
Lu Xiaoyu was silent.
Even if Cao Qingci had always been assigned on assassination missions, taking notes while watching a movie was too much...
Lu Shu thought about it and said, “I’ve decided. We will participate in the competition among the seven major Cultivation Colleges.”
Cao Qingci put down her notebook. “I thought that we weren’t allowed to participate?”
Lu Shu raised his eyebrows. “If Nie Ting doesn’t allow us, does it mean that we can’t participate?”
Thus, the species research specialization started to eradicate everyone in the Luo Shen Cultivation College...
