50: Research Institute, Su Qingwan

After boarding the plane, Ye Liuyun was assigned to first class, and he was the only one in the entire first class cabin.

This made the students behind him incredibly envious.

Everyone on this plane was from Lu Province, and they were all quite familiar with the Geniuses from their own province; even if some didn't know, they had exchanged information in the waiting room.

As all of them were special recruits, they were extremely curious about Ye Liuyun's treatment.

What level of contract could create such a huge difference between him and them?

An hour and a half later.

The plane landed.

Ye Liuyun followed everyone out of the airport, where a large bus was already waiting.

At the same time, a familiar figure was also present.

"Hahahaha, Ye Liuyun, you sly dog, you really pulled off something big in secret, quietly running off to the Eastern Front?" Director Niu walked over, looking at Ye Liuyun with a beaming smile.

"Isn't it just to get some training?"

"Excellent training! I think all the young people of Great Xia should be like you," Director Niu said, looking at the other twenty-odd people.

"Welcome, everyone. Please get on the bus. There will be teachers on board to take you to the school to settle down and explain the school rules to you."

"Yes!"

Everyone responded in a loud voice.

Some of these people had family members in the military, so they possessed a certain military aura in some aspects.

Ye Liuyun was about to follow the others onto the bus but was stopped by Director Niu.

"You ride in my car." Director Niu waved, and a military-plated off-road vehicle drove over from a distance.

This special treatment once again sparked envy among the crowd.

They all knew who Director Niu was—the Director of Admissions at National Martial Arts University.

That made him one of the higher-ups at National Martial Arts University.

After getting into the car.

Director Niu said, "I'll take you to the Imperial Capital Military Research Institute first.

I've heard about the situation on the Eastern Front. To prevent any accidents, our school's President personally arranged for your research to be conducted at our military research institute.

That way, anything that happens will be within our control."

Only then did Ye Liuyun recall what Commander Liu had said: that he would need to cooperate with some examinations upon arriving in the Imperial Capital.

"No problem, Director Niu, I will fully cooperate."

"Alright," Director Niu replied. The military's high-ranking leaders were quite concerned about Ye Liuyun's transformation into a Vicious Beast.

After all, this had never happened before.

At the same time, they needed to determine whether this was a skill that could appear in all Beast-type S-rank abilities, or an anomaly that occurred after Ye Liuyun's ability mutated.

They also needed to analyze whether Ye Liuyun's mental state might experience any unexpected changes.

According to reports from the Eastern Front, the state Ye Liuyun entered at the time was comparable to an eighth-tier Vicious Beast.

Moreover, his bloodline was even purer than that of the Storm Tiger Emperor.

If he lost control and suddenly erupted at National Martial Arts University, the casualties caused in a short time would be far from a small number.

Ye Liuyun leaned against the window, secretly marveling at the urban construction of the Imperial Capital.

The scale of the Imperial Capital's steel jungle was simply something he had never seen in his two lives.

Not only that, but small mobile ships flew overhead from time to time.

He had already seen dozens of these things, which were a rare sight in Quancheng, in just a short while.

Once he settled down at school, he would also have to contact Xu Feng and ask when he could get his own mobile ship.

The off-road vehicle sped through the traffic, moving extremely fast.

However, even at this speed, it still took an hour.

The current Imperial Capital was now three times the size of Quancheng, having been expanded multiple times since the Great Era began, with all surrounding areas incorporated.

An hour later.

The vehicle drove into a courtyard guarded by armed soldiers.

After getting out of the car, Ye Liuyun followed Director Niu into the building. The sentries at the entrance couldn't hide their surprise at seeing Ye Liuyun, such a young Major.

In this era, there was no such thing as pulling strings; military rank and strength were intertwined, unless one performed a great deed.

And clearly, Ye Liuyun was of that type.

After the initial surprise, the guards looked on with reverence.

What great Merit must one achieve to become a Major at this age!

Inside the building.

Seven or eight scientists in white coats were already waiting there.

Standing at the front was a woman with a beautiful face, appearing to be twenty-seven or twenty-eight years old, exuding an intellectual charm.

It was clear that everyone here was a researcher.

"Director Su, this is Ye Liuyun. I'm entrusting him to you all." Director Niu walked over and shook her hand warmly.

Ye Liuyun subtly glanced at him from the side.

Why did this old man sound somewhat fawning when talking to her? Of course, just a little bit.

Su Qingwan nodded, then looked at Ye Liuyun.

"Hello, I am the person in charge of your full examination. My name is Su Qingwan."

"Hello, Sister Su," Ye Liuyun said with a grin.

As soon as the words "Sister Su" came out.

Director Niu's face turned completely red. "Director Su, I'm truly sorry, Ye..."

"It's alright. His relaxed demeanor is actually beneficial for the examination." Su Qingwan smiled, and that gentle temperament instantly made Ye Liuyun stare in a daze.

This was exactly his type!

Who among his peers wouldn't like this style?

Don't lie to yourself!

"Alright, then I'll leave him to you. I'll wait outside." Director Niu turned around and glared at Ye Liuyun.

That look seemed to say, "Don't you dare bark at me!"

After Director Niu left.

Ye Liuyun followed Su Qingwan and her group into the elevator.

Once inside the elevator, he stood behind Su Qingwan, a faint fragrance lingering around his nose.

Ye Liuyun couldn't help but take a couple more deep breaths.

But!

Anyone who has been in an elevator knows that when no one is talking, the elevator is almost perfectly silent.

Ye Liuyun's inhaling sounds were exceptionally loud.

Su Qingwan's pretty face in front of him instantly flushed.

In this research institute, everyone treated her politely, and usually maintained a distance when speaking.

This... the others in the research team secretly glanced at Ye Liuyun.

But the latter remained completely unfazed.

A gentleman loves a pleasant scent and breathes it in deeply. What's wrong with that?

Fortunately, the elevator arrived.

Su Qingwan quickly walked out.

It was so uncomfortable in the elevator just now, but she couldn't exactly tell him not to breathe!

After leaving the elevator.

Ye Liuyun suddenly noticed the sign on the wall.

[Vicious Beast Research Institute]

He immediately froze in place.

Su Qingwan and the others, feeling him stop, also halted and turned to look at him.

"Major Ye, is something wrong?"

One of them asked.

Ye Liuyun's expression changed. "Vicious Beast Research Institute? Are you going to treat me as a Vicious Beast? Or a lab rat?

I fought for my country on the front lines, and now I'm going to be treated as a lab rat for research?"

His voice was a mixture of grievance and weariness, heartbreaking to hear and tear-inducing to listen to.

As the Director, Su Qingwan's heart sank.

This was precisely what she feared most.

And it had happened.

Her voice was a little urgent, "It's not like that, Major Ye, please don't think that way. We absolutely are not going to treat you as a lab rat. It's just that some tests specifically for Vicious Beasts can only..."

Ye Liuyun looked up, his eyes filled with weariness and pity. "Director Su, please don't say any more. I understand it all. As a soldier, sacrificing for the country is something I won't shy away from.

However, I have a condition."

Su Qingwan felt bad seeing Ye Liuyun's expression.

After all, he was indeed going to lie on the equipment meant for Vicious Beasts.

She looked up at Ye Liuyun, who was half a head taller than her. "Tell me, I will do my best to help you achieve it."

Ye Liuyun lowered his head, their eyes meeting. "Can we exchange contact information???"
