142: Ice Contract-Cold Spirit

Stepping into the Research Department street, the atmosphere instantly changed.

The wide, straight road was filled with students dressed in white lab coats, looking like doctors.

They held various precise instruments.

A plump white pig, as big as a small mountain, galloped wildly like a runaway horse.

Behind it, two flustered students were chasing it relentlessly.

Compared to the Battle Department students who focused on Beastmaster cultivation, their Beastmaster strength was somewhat unsatisfactory.

After all, most of their time was spent on research and experiments; how could they have time to cultivate Beastmasters?

That's why scenes like losing control of experimental Beastmasters occurred.

“Oh, whose report is running around everywhere?”

“I don’t know, didn’t you have this kind of scene before?”

“Ahem, I suddenly remembered that the previous materials weren’t prepared properly. I’ll go back and check…”

The surrounding crowd was accustomed to this, even calmly commenting on it.

This situation happened almost every few days; everyone was already used to it.

Such a scene made even Ziyu’s eyelid twitch.

It was a bit abstract.

Lin Shu, however, watched with great interest.

“It was like this the last few times I came as well.”

“You’ll get used to it. The situation here in the Research Department is quite whimsical,” Chu Yu said to Lin Shu.

“It’s good, I find it quite interesting.”

The two continued at a steady pace and soon arrived at a villa.

Its decor and specifications were the same as Lin Shu’s.

Chu Yu took out a key and directly opened the door.

“My mentor sometimes gets so engrossed in research that he rarely checks his phone.”

“To make it convenient for me to visit, he gave me a key so I could open the door myself.”

Lin Shu was not surprised by this situation.

The Research Department, a profession that sounded like it would cause hair loss, being busy was completely normal.

Pushing open the door, the two walked inside.

They found it pitch black, with scattered papers lying on the floor.

On them were dense annotations and some incomprehensible data.

If he wasn't inside, then he must be outside.

Sure enough, behind the villa, there was a rectangular building the size of a basketball court.

Its surroundings were all made of white, glass-like material.

It was crystal clear and transparent.

Since it was connected to the back door, they immediately saw Old Song busy at work.

Next to him was an Ice-Toothed Sword Tiger.

It looked well-behaved, like an obedient student.

However, there was a hint of fear in its eyes, and its head was buried very low.

Following their gaze, they could see another azure figure.

It resembled a human, with a restrained aura, yet it still couldn't hide the outward chill, with wisps of white smoke emanating from its body.

Its body was composed of pure ice, its entire being ice-blue, as if carved from a giant sapphire.

Its head was slightly raised, topped by a crown made of ice stone.

Its facial features were distinct, and its eyes were as deep and cold as ancient ice.

Its physique was slender and tall, with an ice-made coat fitting snugly on its upper body, adorned with exquisitely carved patterns.

Below its waist, it abruptly disconnected, and flowing sky-blue energy emerged, forming a sash that tightly bound its lower half.

The lower part consisted of various sizes of angular, conical ice pillars, tightly adhering to the upper body, causing it to float above the ground.

Clearly, this was Old Song’s Beastmaster.

This was a Spirit Origin Level Beastmaster; no wonder the Ice-Toothed Sword Tiger was so docile.

It was truly powerful. Although its level and strength were not as high as a mentor’s, it was a peak for most Beastmasters.

Its level and skill proficiency were somewhat unsatisfactory, clearly because Old Song was too obsessed with research.

The Beastmaster's strength improvement had slowed down considerably.

Only the Beastmaster’s name, Ice Contract - Cold Spirit, seemed a bit strange.

Old Song was deep in thought and completely unaware of Lin Shu and Chu Yu entering.

His hands moved continuously, taking out several ice-element spiritual objects and feeding them to the Ice-Toothed Sword Tiger.

Then, a spiritual object emitting a scorching hot flame aura appeared out of thin air and was also stuffed in.

Ice and fire merging, truly a genius idea.

Lin Shu didn't understand it, but he felt greatly shocked.

Was this the Mental state of the Research Department?

Seeing Lin Shu’s somewhat strange expression, Chu Yu whispered beside him, fearing to disturb the evolution process in the field.

“This is an experimental process now.”

“Evolutionary pathways are perfected through such repeated experiments.”

Lin Shu merely nodded slowly in response, not interjecting.

After all, he wasn't a professional.

Old Song looked at the Ice-Toothed Sword Tiger with anticipation.

He hoped that this 258th material change could uncover a new evolutionary form.

Unfortunately, the result was ultimately disappointing.

A frantic aura boiled within the Ice-Toothed Sword Tiger.

A scene of ice and fire duality appeared within its body.

The energy instantly became unbalanced.

The Ice-Toothed Sword Tiger rolled its eyes, its mouth covered in blood.

It opened its mouth wide, and a large amount of fresh blood gushed out.

Then, it tilted its neck and directly fell unconscious, losing consciousness.

Seeing this, Old Song frowned, considering the reason for the failure, and waved his hand.

Cold Spirit gently stroked the Ice-Toothed Sword Tiger with its icy hand, and an azure light flickered.

It instantly healed it back to its original state, good as new.

Tears were vaguely visible in the Ice-Toothed Sword Tiger’s eyes.

It was like this again. This situation had happened to him countless times.

“Old man, spare my tiger life, can you switch to another tiger?”

“My small body really can’t take it.”

However, these actions were useless; no one paid any attention.

Cold Spirit had clearly noticed the two who had entered earlier, and patted Old Song’s shoulder, motioning for him to look behind.

“It’s Lin Shu, and also Xiao Yu.”

“Look how busy I am.”

“Quickly, come with me.”

Upon hearing this, he immediately replied, “Old Song.”

“Mentor!”

Seeing the two, he immediately stood up and came to their side.

He led them into the living room at the back.

He gestured for Cold Spirit, who was lying to the side, to serve tea and water.

Just as he was about to speak, Old Song was attracted by Ziyu, who was lying to the side.

It was as if Ziyu had a magnet in him, directly drawing Old Song to him.

A pair of somewhat rough large hands stroked Ziyu’s body.

Just as Ziyu was a bit displeased and about to shake him off, a bone-chilling gaze made him pause slightly...
