Twisted Dreams

Dean’s office.

Li Tufang made tea for Li Yang and said with a smile:

"Teacher Li, are you getting used to it?"

Li Yang lit a cigarette:

"You brought me to this school, you don’t really want me to be a teacher, do you? Li Yao."

Li Yang bit the last two words heavily.

Li Tufang’s hand paused for a moment and continued to pour tea for Li Yang:

"Have you been to the Lost City?"

Li Yang nodded.

Li Tufang sat down, smiling:

"How did you escape from Tie Lin?"

Li Yang raised his eyebrows:

"He’s dead."

Li Tufang was stunned.

It seems Li Yang took out Tie Lin.

Li Tufang shook his head regretfully:

"Actually, I quite liked Tie Lin. Aside from being too rigid and stubborn, he was perfect."

Li Yang said:

"It’s said you once discussed some things about me and Jin."

Li Tufang nodded openly:

"Yes, I used to support Jin."

Li Yang flicked his cigarette ash:

"And then?"

Li Tufang said:

"Now I choose you."

Li Yang said:

"Oh?"

Li Tufang picked up his teacup and smiled:

"Do you know why I placed you in Class Eight?"

Li Yang ungraciously asked why.

Li Tufang said to himself:

"Just wanted to see if your character is still the same as in that era.

If you maintain the character from that era, I wouldn’t dare support you."

Li Yang asked:

"What would I do in that era?"

Li Tufang said quietly:

"All those troublemakers in Class Eight would die.

Not just Class Eight, you’d blame the entire school."

Li Yang laughed:

"I like the me from that era."

Li Tufang took a sip of tea and put down the teacup:

"Do you know how surprised I was to see those troublemakers reading quietly?"

Li Yang asked:

"Aren’t you afraid that I might really turn into my old self here and start a killing spree?"

Li Tufang questioned:

"What’s a few deaths compared to confirming your nature?"

In outsiders’ eyes, those Class Eight playboys were privileged, but in Li Tufang’s eyes, as a Wandering One, they were worth less than grass.

The grandeur Li Tufang showed outside was all an act.

Li Yang extinguished his cigarette and smiled:

"Just confirming my nature makes you decide to help me.

Your words seem a bit insincere."

Li Tufang nodded:

"Yes, it’s a bit insincere, there are other reasons.

Do you know where the technology of God Creation comes from?"

Li Yang looked Li Tufang up and down:

"Related to you?"

Li Tufang said:

"I was the best Artifact Refiner of our era. I shared some of my knowledge with the president."

Li Tufang pointed to his head and said:

"The president transferred that knowledge into Jin’s brain using Soul Power.

So Jin possesses the most mysterious knowledge of this era, as well as the strongest soul.

His soul strength isn’t much weaker than yours."

Li Yang laughed.

So this Jin really is cheating, huh.

No wonder he can beat Su Yutang with just pure Spiritual Power, without any talent.

Li Tufang continued:

"Besides that, he also had materials provided by Tie Lin.

The materials were the body tissues of Celestial Race people.

Otherwise, what do you think enabled the God Creation Group to create Evolvers and develop biotechnology beyond the forefront of this era?

He must have a research direction, a model for research."

Li Tufang sighed and continued:

"Jin’s research cannot do without Celestial corpses.

He needed more and more materials, even Tie Lin couldn’t supply enough.

That’s why he’s eager to target the Changbai Mountain Demon Race.

Targeting his own Blue Star race, I don’t know what Jin is thinking.

Jin’s research is increasingly deviating from what I envisioned, which is why I’m inclined to support you."

Li Tufang looked at Li Yang and said:

"Lately, I haven’t been able to sense the existence of the Lost City.

I didn’t expect you to kill Tie Lin, I thought there was another change in the Lost City.

Now that it’s completely shut down, Jin has no more research materials.

Jin is entirely useless now, so I can only choose you.

Fortunately, you didn’t disappoint me."

Li Yang knew that Li Tufang was talking about his actions in Class Eight.

Li Yang chuckled softly:

"You Wandering Ones are always so arrogant.

You say you support me? What exactly do you have to support me?

I don’t need useless allies."

Li Tufang never thought there’d be a day he’d be disdained by someone, he sneered:

"Does being a strong fighter count? I’m the most powerful among the Wandering Ones."

Li Yang gave Li Tufang a suspicious look:

"Strong enough yet could be locked in the Lost City by Tie Lin?"

Li Tufang coughed in embarrassment:

"That was because I had no weapon.

My weapon wasn’t brought to this era by the president’s time reversal.

You know, although I was the greatest Artifact Refiner of our era, I can’t really show my skills in this era.

It’s like a robot inventor traveling back to ancient times, unable to make a robot.

Even if he understands the principles of making robots, in ancient times he can’t find the materials to make them.

Like computers, alternating current, a whole series of things.

He can’t even physically flatten and shape iron into a robot’s form."

Li Tufang slowly got serious:

"But now I can, after seeing your book on Spirit Forging Technique, I got inspired.

Give me some time, and I can recreate a weapon.

Believe in me, with a weapon, even the president might not be able to kill me."

Li Yang was slightly amazed at Li Tufang’s words.

It wasn’t surprising that Li Tufang would become strong with a weapon; he is, after all, a Wandering One.

What surprised him was Li Tufang’s last statement.

Li Tufang was proudly proclaiming that even in his peak era, the president might not be able to defeat him.

Not being killed by the president as a benchmark for measuring combat strength, just how powerful is the president?

Seeing Li Yang in contemplation, Li Tufang furrowed his brows and asked:

"What, you don’t believe me?"

Li Yang said:

"I have a question, it’s also why I came to find you and accompany you in this teacher-student act."

Li Tufang placed his hands on the table, looking very serious:

"Go ahead."

Li Yang asked:

"Where is Meng Xing? What is his level of Extraordinary?"

Li Tufang pondered for a while:

"I’m sorry to disappoint you, I can’t answer the first question, I don’t know where the president is.

As for the second question...."

Li Tufang’s eyes showed deep reverence:

"The president is no longer an Extraordinary, not even human anymore."

Li Yang raised an eyebrow:

"Not human?"

Li Tufang picked up the teacup, countless words to describe the president surfaced in his mind, but each felt empty and inadequate.

He put down the teacup, those thoughts fell away, leaving just one word.

Li Tufang said solemnly:

"The president is a god! A living god!"

Li Yang paused briefly, then a smile appeared at the corner of his mouth:

"A god? Interesting."

Li Yang stood up, taking his round hat and putting it on.

Li Tufang stood up in surprise:

"Where are you going?"

Li Yang walked to the door and glanced back at Li Tufang:

"You don’t really expect me to keep teaching here, do you?"

Li Tufang laughed:

"You have given the Spiritual Body Gathering Technique, which is already the academy’s greatest treasure.

You know enough about the Wandering Ones, and you should also know that the Celestial Race’s arrival is fast approaching.

I’m asking what your plans are."

Li Yang adjusted his round hat:

"Going home to feed the cat."

Li Yang walked out of the office, leaving a dumbfounded Li Tufang behind.
