188: Experimental Spiritual Techniques

Colorful flames burned fiercely, making one feel incredibly hot all over.

Seeing that Lu Yuan was insistent, Zheng Dinghan exchanged glances with the two elders beside him.

"Three upgrades, one hundred million per upgrade."

Zheng Dinghan said.

Lu Yuan paid the money readily without bargaining.

"Whether it succeeds or not will be known tomorrow." Zheng Dinghan took the nirvana sword and a storage ring from Lu Yuan's hand.

The storage ring contained the materials needed for the upgrade.

"Are you really going to refine it?"

Watching Lu Yuan's departing back, Zhong Qingfeng wanted to say something but hesitated.

"Otherwise what? Try your best not to destroy the nirvana sword." Zheng Dinghan said.

"Senior Fu, what do you think the probability of success is?"

On the way out of the headquarters, Lu Yuan chatted with Fu Jingjie.

"I don't know, but since Elder Zheng said so, it's probably pitifully low." Fu Jingjie habitually tidied his clothes.

His mysophobia was severe to an outrageous degree.

Even if his clothes were like new, he always felt that they were still dirty somewhere.

"Since it can be upgraded, I definitely have to try. It's nothing more than destroying a high-grade spirit tool." Lu Yuan shrugged.

"Nothing more?"

Fu Jingjie was speechless.

"Junior Brother Lu Yuan really doesn't feel the pinch. That's a high-grade spirit tool, and an upgradeable high-grade spirit tool at that." Fu Jingjie felt Lu Yuan was too extravagant.

If it were him, he definitely wouldn't dare to gamble; the cost was simply too high.

Three hundred million in fees, plus the materials required for the upgrade.

You have to know that some materials cannot be bought with money, and most importantly, the nirvana sword could very likely be destroyed!

"It's still not too late to change your mind." Fu Jingjie reminded him.

"Once the move is made, there is no regret."

Lu Yuan strode out of the headquarters.

Since he had come to the Imperial Capital, he definitely had to go and meet his Older Sister.

He hadn't gone the previous few times because he was pressed for time, but this time he had plenty of time.

"Come greet me!"

Lu Yuan sent a message to Lu Yeli, but there was no reply for a long time.

"She's probably researching space and time Fusion Spirit Skill with Ke Yueyao." Lu Yuan thought.

Lu Yeli had been staying at school, and she had even called him last night.

Taking a private car, Lu Yuan headed straight to Imperial Capital University.

Compared to the unpredictable weather in Pengcheng, the Imperial Capital always maintained warm sunshine.

The sky was clear for ten thousand li, and the sun was bright.

Before Lu Yuan could contact the members of Lu Yeli's team, he saw Chu Wushe first.

As well as the woman beside Chu Wushe.

"Oh?"

Lu Yuan raised an eyebrow and walked over with a light step.

Bang, bang, bang—

The sound of fists colliding rang out!

Wearing a practice uniform, Chu Wushe's fist wind was sharp, and every move was a killing blow; he didn't show any mercy just because the person opposite him was a woman.

The woman sparring with him was about twenty-three or twenty-four, tall, and deliberately kept her distance from Chu Wushe.

Chu Wushe used his fists, while she used her legs; her whip kicks, fast as a blur, forced Chu Wushe to retreat repeatedly.

"Let's stop here." Chu Wushe stopped, then suddenly turned his head.

Lu Yuan clapped with a smile on his face.

Clap, clap, clap—

Seeing it was Lu Yuan, Chu Wushe's expression changed.

"Why are you here?"

"What do you mean? Can't I come to visit a friendly school?"

Lu Yuan retorted.

"Watch your attitude; I am your creditor now."

Hearing this, Chu Wushe curled his lips.

"It's Imperial Capital University that owes you money, not me."

"If you don't understand, ask: isn't the current principal of Imperial Capital University surnamed Chu?" Lu Yuan asked, knowing the answer.

Chu Wushe instantly wilted.

Lu Yuan, having easily handled Chu Wushe, felt secretly pleased and looked around casually.

Although this wasn't the playground, there were quite a few students practicing close combat.

Some of those teaching the students were martial artists from Zhenbang Martial Arts Hall, and some were Ancient Professionals.

Finally, Lu Yuan let his gaze rest on the woman who had been sparring with Chu Wushe.

"We seem to have met?" Lu Yuan asked.

"Yes, I came to Imperial Capital University on the orders of the Vice Commander."

Xu Qimeng looked at Lu Yuan with a respectful expression.

She had witnessed Lu Yuan easily defeat the Vice Commander Gao Aozhi.

"No wonder." Lu Yuan realized that Xu Qimeng was a member of the Ashen Army.

Xu Qimeng was beautiful, and both her face and figure were impeccable.

"With a beauty by your side, Principal Chu, your life is quite comfortable." Lu Yuan said.

This remark instantly made Chu Wushe bristle.

"Don't talk nonsense, I didn't, you're overthinking it!"

Chu Wushe denied it three times.

"I am simply doing it to improve my close combat skills, nothing more!"

Watching the incoherent and constantly explaining Chu Wushe, Lu Yuan's smile grew wider.

"May I have a private word with Principal Chu?" Lu Yuan looked at Xu Qimeng.

Xu Qimeng tactfully went to instruct other students.

"If you like her, just come out and say it; why act so aloof?"

With no one around, Lu Yuan stared at Chu Wushe, who was holding his arms.

They were all men; he could tell at a glance that Chu Wushe had feelings for Xu Qimeng.

A breeze blew by, and Chu Wushe raised an eyebrow, wanting to continue explaining.

However, he dared not look directly at Lu Yuan.

"That's right, I do like Xu Qimeng."

Chu Wushe said in a low voice.

At first, he didn't have this thought, until he sparred with Xu Qimeng in close combat skills.

Xu Qimeng, who had the Gold Attribute and was a four-star Law Realm, couldn't beat him in a Spirit Skill competition.

But in close combat, the two were infinitely close to being evenly matched.

As they sparred, Chu Wushe's mindset gradually changed, and he sought out Xu Qimeng for practice almost every day.

"Then pursue her." Lu Yuan said indifferently.

Chu Wushe was the Alliance Master of the Thunder Alliance, which in ancient times would be equivalent to the son of a prime minister.

Regardless of talent or background, he had plenty of confidence to pursue Xu Qimeng.

"Aren't I pursuing her?"

Lu Yuan: "..."

"Have you become stupid from being a principal? Does sparring every day count as pursuing? Of course, going on dates and watching movies is what you call pursuing!" Lu Yuan said crossly.

Either Chu Wushe had become stupid from being a principal, or he had never been in a relationship before.

Lu Yuan was more inclined to believe the latter.

After all, from the time he could remember, Chu Wushe had started preparing for his profession awakening at eighteen.

"I... I can't say it out loud!" Chu Wushe said in a helpless tone.

"Then you can just wait for someone else to pursue Xu Qimeng."

Lu Yuan curled his lips.

Chu Wushe suddenly raised his head, his eyes firm, and his steps even firmer as he walked towards Xu Qimeng.

"Again!" Chu Wushe said.

Watching the two start sparring in close combat again, Lu Yuan shook his head.

"Um... do you have time tonight?"

Lu Yuan, who was walking towards the back mountain, stopped and glanced at Chu Wushe, who was speaking to Xu Qimeng.

"He is teachable."

At the back mountain of Imperial Capital University, in a remote corner covered by a domain all year round.

"Principal Lu, please go in." The instructor in charge of patrolling nodded.

This was a forbidden area of Imperial Capital University, and students were strictly prohibited from being active nearby.

Because it was covered by a domain, Lu Yuan could not distinguish the environment inside.

After entering, he discovered it was a wide cave.

"Don't... don't kill me, I beg you, don't kill me."

A shrill scream came over!

Space was distorted, and ripples were visible to the naked eye in the air.

Time was chaotic, giving people the illusion that time was either accelerating or slowing down.

Blood stained the cave walls red, and over a hundred people wearing handcuffs were kneeling on the ground.

Their expressions were fearful, and their bodies were trembling violently.

"The 289th experiment begins!" Chen Yaozong said in a deep voice, ignoring the pleas of these death row prisoners.

Lu Yuan stood in place and watched.

It was just as he had guessed.

At this moment, Lu Yeli and Ke Yueyao were experimenting with the space and time Fusion Spirit Skill!
