Master of Strange Dao

Wang Zixuan looked at the group of deans, feeling there was something odd about them.

He always felt that the way these deans looked at him was particularly strange.

However, he still politely saluted them and spoke courteously.

"I hope you will all guide me from now on, as I actually know nothing and will rely on your guidance for everything."

The deans immediately smiled and returned the gesture amicably.

After all, the core reference sample this time was an intelligent creature that could directly communicate, making the research much easier.

Moreover, to improve efficiency, they certainly had to consider the feelings of the sample, treating it more kindly rather than handling it like an inanimate object.

At least, not as strictly as they would with those scholars.

Amidst the harmonious atmosphere, Wang Zixuan began his journey as a researcher.

Although there was a chance that the time he spent being researched might far exceed the time he spent on researching himself.

Yu Ziqing left Wang Zixuan and quietly carved a stone stele, placing it on a large protruding reef by the sea.

"Well, now we have a research institute."

With a thought, a White Bone Divine Bridge slowly appeared before Yu Ziqing, stretching out into the void, lanterns lighting up one by one along its sides.

Yu Ziqing stepped onto the White Bone Divine Bridge and disappeared into the void.

In the distance, Dean Nong walked out from a colorful forest, gazing puzzledly at the spot where Yu Ziqing vanished.

"What kind of Divine Secret Skill is this?

It seems like Void Escape."

Dean Nong arrived at the spot where Yu Ziqing disappeared, took out a seed, threw it on the ground, and scattered some black soil.

He formed a seal with one hand, swept his hand across the soil's surface, and murmured in an unknown language.

Moments later, a vine broke through the ground, directly reaching into the void, before instantly shattering into dust.

Dean Nong was shocked.

"Good heavens, at least a hundred thousand miles?

The residual fluctuations can't even be tracked.

If he has such skills, why research a teleportation array?

It doesn't make sense. With an existing skill, why study the original one?

This guy should have said something earlier, saving me from nurturing all sorts of bizarre spirit plants."

Dean Nong immediately turned and flew back into the island, ready to tell the others about this matter.

An hour later, in the meeting room, a group of deans looked at each other, staring at Dean Nong.

"Are you sure you didn't make a mistake? I remember you're not good at this, right?"

"I'm not skilled in it, but I'm not blind." Dean Nong slammed the table, retorting immediately.

No one questioned him further; even if he's not good at it, he at least knows the basics and wouldn't make a wrong judgment.

"Let's proceed with the new topic and tell him when he's free to stay longer here."

Everyone nodded, after all, directly stating that the major sponsor will be the core reference sample isn't very nice; it's better to coax a bit.

If Old Yang were here, there would be no need to go through so much trouble; just let Old Yang speak.

Days passed by, and Wang Zixuan roughly understood his role here and what status he held.

He accidentally overheard the scholars privately saying that he was the one being studied.

But just after he figured out this matter, he heard two deans discussing about getting Yu Ziqing to collaborate on a major research project.

Wang Zixuan thought maybe he was overthinking it.

Reflecting on these deans, they're quite knowledgeable, focused, and very kind.

Perhaps that's why they're deans, while those constantly scolded scholars are just scholars.

Being researched isn't a big deal; didn't the deans say Yu Ziqing will also be researched when he's free?

So here, everything should be normal.

It's all to tackle major topics, and everyone contributes their strength.

Wang Zixuan lay back with peace of mind, complying with the deans every day, doing whatever they requested.

...

Yu Ziqing walked down from a small bridge outside Jiayin City, sighing once again, realizing the town portal's usefulness.

If it weren't for the town portal, he wouldn't have wanted to personally navigate the map to send Wang Zixuan to the Southern Sea.

Returning to Dadui, he directly went to the Mud Sea of the Muddied World.

He wanted to continue rescuing others, speeding up to bring them all out.

The Great Fallen Devil had vanished, but it's impossible for it to be annihilated nor have escaped.

If it had silently escaped from the Mud Sea of the Muddied World, there would be no need for all these troublesome things.

Yu Ziqing crossed the Fire Sea, once again arriving at the Mud Sea of the Muddied World. He did not rush to rescue people but first guided the Fire Sea, channeling it to both sides to seal the coastline.

Then, reaching his destination, Yu Ziqing called out the True Name of No.5 in line, after establishing a connection, he peered into No.5's Memory Armor once again.

Unsurprisingly, there was a significant increase in memories related to the Great Fallen Devil compared to before.

Moreover, this time, many of them were quite sensitive.

Yu Ziqing chuckled, starting to build a magic platform and prepare for the ritual.

At this point, it was like playing with open cards.

Yu Ziqing knew that the Great Fallen Devil intended to escape when these fools helped him break free.

Furthermore, Yu Ziqing was certain that even if he ignored these fools, breaking his promise, and not rescuing them, letting them all vanish in the Mud Sea of the Muddied World, the Great Fallen Devil would not be destroyed along with them.

At most, it would revert to its former shape, continuing its mischief.

To deal with the Great Fallen Devil, these fools must be rescued first.

The Great Fallen Devil likely knew that Yu Ziqing was aware of this.

Everyone knew; it was just a matter of seeing what Yu Ziqing would do.

Of course, Yu Ziqing would not break his promise, intending to rescue them and at the fastest speed possible.

No matter what the Great Fallen Devil wanted, Yu Ziqing would not give it too much time; he intended to swiftly solve this problem, turning the Mud Sea of the Muddied World completely into a black soil production area.
