Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios

With Mu Qing around, the Night Shadow Race could not withstand a single blow.

It was 11 p.m.

There was a knock on the door. Feng Qi, who was reading a book, gave Lin Ran a look. Lin Ran immediately got out of bed and went to the door to open it.

A middle-aged man appeared at the door. He wore rimless glasses, had short hair, and was wearing a white shirt. His skin was a healthy tan. His eyes were deep and spirited, and his nose was high.

Feng Qi was no stranger to this person.

It was Director Liu, who had specially gone to Star City Academy to recruit him in advance.

This time, the invitation email from the Tiger Soul Research Institute was sent in Director Liu’s name.

Seeing an acquaintance, Feng Qi immediately stood up and greeted him.

“Director Liu.”

Through the information from the previous timeline, he was certain that Director Liu had been controlled by the Night Shadow Race.

To be more precise, this guy had joined the Night Shadow Race. He was not purely bewitched.

He hated human traitors.

However, he would not show this on his face.

He warmly invited Director Liu into the room and sat down. He smiled and said.

“Director Liu, I have to thank you for your support for coming to the Tiger Soul Research Institute this time.”

After exchanging pleasantries, Director Liu revealed his purpose for coming.

“Feng Qi, your talent is evident to everyone. Remaining in Star City Academy would only overshadow your abilities. On behalf of the Tiger Soul Research Institute, I extend another invitation to you. I hope you will consider joining the Tiger Soul Research Institute and contribute your talents.”

With that, Director Liu’s tone changed.

“Feng Qi, have you come into contact with any research on spells?”

Hearing this, he immediately understood Director Liu’s intentions.

It was not true that he valued his talent in cultivation technique research. It was true that he felt that his talent could be better used in spell research.

The constitution of the Night Shadow Race was incompatible with human cultivation techniques.

However, spells were related to the rules of heaven and earth and the elements of Spiritual Qi. Any spell could be used by all races, but there were differences in strength.

The goal of the Night Shadow Race, which controlled the Tiger Soul Research Institute, was to create a super spell for their race through the efforts of top human scholars.

After understanding the reason, he couldn’t help but glance at Lin Ran.

As a spell research genius, he was recruited by the Tiger Soul Research Institute in advance because of this reason.

But there was no doubt about one thing—Lin Ran’s talent.

He was undoubtedly the most talented spell genius of this era, and there were very few people who left a deep mark in history.

“Director Liu, I’m sorry. I don’t have any intention of joining the Tiger Soul Research Institute for the time being. As for spell research, I will not get involved.”

Director Liu appeared somewhat regretful.

However, he did not give up. He then smiled and said.

“Don’t be in a hurry to refuse. Come to the office with me later—I have something to show you. It might change your mind.”

“What is it?”

“Some historical information about the Tiger Soul Research Institute.”

“Alright, I’m interested in the history of the Tiger Soul Research Institute.” He immediately nodded in agreement.

After chatting for a while, he left the room with Director Liu and walked towards the core area of the Tiger Soul Research Institute.

Director Liu did not want to bring him to read historical information. Feng Qi understood this.

The information from the previous timeline allowed him to read Director Liu’s thoughts.

At this moment, the Night Shadow Race did not want to give up on him. They felt that he might have outstanding talent in spell research and could add to the Night Shadow Race’s super spell structure.

Now that he had specially delivered himself to their door, in the eyes of the Night Shadow Race, he was a sheep entering the tiger’s den.

It was not easy to make a move in the Star City Academy, but the Tiger Soul Research Institute was their home ground.

The only innate ability of the Night Shadow Race was the “Mind Control” ability.

It was self-evident what they would face next.

However, Feng Qi was fearless. In this combat timeline, Purple Soul patterns were engraved on his bones, making it a fool’s dream to attempt to control him through mental bewitchment.

Most importantly, he was about to enter the core area of the Tiger Soul Research Institute and see the Night Shadow Race.

This force was not a threat to him at all.

If not for the fact that he was afraid of exposing himself in advance and increasing the risk, Mu Qing alone would be enough to destroy the entire Night Shadow Race.

Before leaving, he gave Lin Ran a look.

He knew Lin Ran would understand what he meant.

Following Director Liu’s familiar route, they arrived at the core area of the Tiger Soul Research Institute.

The first thing he saw was the control panel in the center.

This control panel had the highest authority in the Tiger Soul Research Institute. It could control the operation or shutdown of all the facilities. It could also cut off the power of the entire Tiger Soul Research Institute.

With just a glance, he stopped paying attention.

After following Director Liu for a while, they arrived at Room A-1 in the core area.

Director Liu pushed open the door and walked in first.

Seeing this, Feng Qi immediately followed.

The room was like a laboratory with many instruments inside. It did not look like an office at all.

The strange thing was that the scientific research equipment here was covered in yellow paper that looked like talismans. There was an indescribable strange feeling.

Director Liu walked past the piles of scientific research equipment and suddenly turned to look at him with a smile.

He slowly took out a cell phone from his pocket and pressed it.

Immediately, the sound of gears grinding could be heard from the door. The door had been locked.

“Feng Qi, we’re very sincere to you. Initially, we didn’t want to control you and were prepared to spend a lot of resources to nurture you..”
