355: As expected

“...” Chen Heng probably knew why Wu Xiong didn't want to come to the Imperial Research Institute.

These people looked a bit eerie.

Chen Heng suppressed the urge to act and walked in under the gazes that could almost solidify.

“Come, come, young man, try my newly developed Five Elements Spirit Cannon handheld version, guaranteed to be super effective!”

“Go away, go away, first try my Blood-Raging Potion, guaranteed to only benefit the body with no harm.”

“And mine...”

Chen Heng had barely walked a few steps when several younger Researchers came over with their own makeshift contraptions.

Especially the young man holding the Five Elements Spirit Cannon handheld version, who almost shoved the muzzle into Chen Heng's face.

“Oh my, this is quite interesting.”

Chen Heng took the Five Elements Spirit Cannon handheld version and played with it in his hands.

Seeing that Chen Heng really took the Five Elements Spirit Cannon handheld version, the area within a dozen meters was instantly cleared.

Every Researcher held a Silver White shield and hid behind cover.

“?” Chen Heng was stunned for a moment. Why were these people reacting so strongly?

“Mr. Chen, please fire a shot at the target and try it!” a Researcher cautiously poked his head out and said.

Chen Heng didn't suspect anything, aimed at the target, and pulled the trigger in his hand.

Poof~

A muffled sound like a silent fart rang out, and the Five Elements Spirit Cannon in Chen Heng's hand began to shake violently.

“What's going on?” Chen Heng looked at the muzzle but found nothing unusual.

“So it's just a dud after all that? I thought it was something good.”

Just as Chen Heng was about to put down the Five Elements Spirit Cannon, a fierce red light burst out from the Spirit Cannon, hitting Chen Heng directly in the face.

“It's over, our first guest in two years just bit the dust like this...”

The Researchers sighed with some regret, but they didn't take it too seriously.

“This cannon of yours doesn't have much power.” But when they emerged from cover, Chen Heng's voice rang out again.

Chen Heng's face was completely unharmed, and he was still fiddling with the Five Elements Spirit Cannon handheld version with great interest.

“How is that possible!?” The Researcher who had given Chen Heng the Five Elements Spirit Cannon handheld version was utterly bewildered.

He had tested this Five Elements Spirit Cannon handheld version before; although its power couldn't compare to the regular version, it could still pierce through a ten-inch thick refined iron ingot.

Could it be... that this person's skin was even tougher than a refined iron ingot?

Thinking of this, these guys' minds started to race.

They had many things that no one dared to try.

Now that they had finally caught someone with thick skin who was also interested in their junk, they certainly couldn't let him go!

After a flurry of chatter, Chen Heng clapped his hands.

“It's no problem for me to help you test things; I'm quite interested too.”

Indeed, the various items here were all new to Chen Heng: potions, weapons, armor, all sorts of things.

They looked quite interesting.

“However, before I finish my main business, everything else has to wait.”

Seeing that these people were still chattering, Chen Heng released a trace of Devilish Qi and Evil Qi.

In an instant, the entire Imperial Research Institute fell into a dead silence.

“Now, find me the data you obtained from the ruins. Understood?”

“Mm...” Everyone nodded and quickly went to search for what Chen Heng needed.

“Young man, you... wouldn't happen to be a Great Demon, would you?” The Old Woman who had opened the door to greet Chen Heng walked over, sizing him up.

“What Great Demon?” Chen Heng was a bit confused; he had heard people call him a Great Demon more than once.

“Then what's with all this Devilish Qi on you?”

The Old Woman was completely unaffected by the Devilish Qi on Chen Heng, and she even reached out to touch Chen Heng's iron-like muscles.

“I practiced some unorthodox Cultivation Technique and cultivated it.”

Chen Heng replied casually.

“Then you're quite impressive, daring to touch such an unorthodox Cultivation Technique and still being so normal.”

The Old Woman was surprised now and couldn't help but continue to scrutinize Chen Heng.

Chen Heng didn't say anything more, and the Old Woman also didn't pester Chen Heng further, but went to find the information Chen Heng needed.

With the help of the entire Research Institute, several document bags, identical to the one from the previous world-suppressing nail, were placed before Chen Heng.

“These things are useless to us; we've been trying to decipher them for so many years and still haven't figured them out.”

The Old Woman sat opposite Chen Heng and pushed the document bags towards him.

“Mr. Chen, if you can understand these things, would you be willing to share them with us?”

“Depends on the situation.” Chen Heng glanced at the Old Woman, not giving a definitive answer.

Some things he could tell them, but some things only he could know.

Opening the topmost document bag, it was indeed another handwritten letter.

The familiar opening, the familiar self-praise, it was indeed left by his Fellow Countryman.

This letter was quite long, but apart from the self-praise, the useful information was actually only a few sentences.

First, he successfully survived the counterattack of the Heavenly Gods and sealed all the invading Heavenly Gods.

Second, the world-suppressing nail of the Chengtian Empire also had an entrance to the Yin Side of the World, and he planned to create one in every world-suppressing nail.

And the most important and explosive piece of information was this third point.

The Dragon Clan was created by him... and the Dragon Clan had no reproductive ability, but their lifespan was very long.

Most of the Dragon Clan were sent to the Yin Side of the World to guard the source fragments, leaving only a few elderly Dragons in the Yang Aspect to guard the world.

“No wonder there's no trace of the Dragon Clan; so they all died out.”

Chen Heng shook his head, he had thought there was some shocking secret here.

No, this should also be considered a shocking secret, it's just that Chen Heng was relatively easy to accept it.

The letter detailed how to guide a snake to become a Dragon, and also explained his experiments of injecting Dragon Bloodline into other races.

“So that's how those half-bloods came about.”

Chen Heng nodded and set the letter aside.

Overall, this letter wasn't very useful, but it did answer some of his questions.

Chen Heng also memorized the method of a snake becoming a Dragon, intending to try it on Snake Green later.

Opening the second document bag, the title immediately caught Chen Heng's eye.

【Experiments on the Possibility of Utilizing source fragments】

【So far, most experiments have ended in failure. Their physical strength is too weak; suitable test subjects must be found】

【After a series of experiments, I ultimately chose the Dragon Clan as the test subject for the source fragments】

【Reasons are as follows: ...】

Chen Heng frowned, he seemed to have guessed the final outcome of this experiment.

【Judging by the results, the experiment was indeed successful, but it cannot be said to be completely successful, because the Dragons that underwent Fusion with the source fragments were completely unusable, seemingly directly affected by the source, and could only be sealed away】
