576: Chapter 576 Arguing

Hearing this, the rest of them wore expressions of slight anger, and even Elder Fengjue couldn't help frowning.

"What does a greenhorn like you know! We all have concrete successful cases, don't think you can talk nonsense here just because you know a little bit of the surface."

The bespectacled Rank 8 Transcendent pointed at Nie Ning and rebuked angrily.

Nie Ning wore a sneering expression and didn't retort, instead looking at Elder Fengjue: "It's still not too late to stop the experiment now, otherwise once it's too late, there really won't be any coming back."

At this moment, 50% of the experimental student's body had already mutated, with large patches of gray fish-scale-like substances growing all over the body, and the arms were swollen and split, the flesh inside writhing like long worms.

Seeing the experimental student's appearance, the rest of the students all had panicked expressions in their eyes.

Elder Fengjue gave Nie Ning a deep look, his gaze falling into the experimental pod, and said in a deep voice: "Stop the experiment."

"Elder..."

The bespectacled Transcendent still wanted to say something, but Elder Fengjue waved his hand to stop him.

Seeing that Elder Fengjue had said so, the bespectacled Transcendent gave Nie Ning a cold glare, and then unwillingly turned off the array formation of the experimental pod.

Nie Ning sneered, not scared just because the other party was a Rank 8 Transcendent, because he still had a big gift to give them.

Watching the nutrient solution in the experimental pod being sucked away, Nie Ning stepped forward and opened the door of the chamber.

Without the inhibitory potion, the Power of Corruption began to frantically erode the experimental student's body.

Nie Ning couldn't help sighing, that group of morons really harmed people.

Immediately, Nie Ning stretched out his hand toward the experimental student.

At the same time, in Nie Ning's sea of consciousness, the soul suspended above the branded spell slowly opened its eyes, and a strange spiritual fluctuation began to spread.

Under Nie Ning's guidance, the Power of Corruption inside the experimental student's body seemed to be guided, and was quickly forced by Nie Ning onto the experimental student's left arm.

The left arm began accelerated mutation, the writhing muscles extending from the arm like long worms, floating and swaying like tentacles.

As for the other parts of the student's body, they had already recovered from the abnormality.

Beads of sweat seeped from Nie Ning's forehead, but he was still unable to force the Power of Corruption out of the body.

It was enough to show just how difficult to deal with the Power of Corruption really was.

Without any hesitation, Nie Ning's right hand turned into a blade shape, and with a wave of his hand, he chopped off the experimental student's entire left arm.

"Ah!"

The experimental student let out a miserable scream.

Nie Ning didn't pay too much attention, turning his head to look at the twisting and mutating left arm on the ground, summoning a ball of flame to burn it to ashes.

Then he used life energy to seal the wound on the experimental student's left arm.

At this point, this student's life was considered saved, and his talent had also gained some improvement.

However, Nie Ning's ability was limited, and the Corruption value inside the experimental student's body was still above average; if handled improperly, there would still be the risk of mutation.

"Thank you, Teacher."

The experimental student sat on the ground with a pale face, but still thanked him sincerely.

Nie Ning nodded and didn't say much.

Several teachers from the side stepped forward and began to check the student's physical condition.

...

A moments later, several teachers had finished checking.

"How is it?"

Elder Fengjue asked.

"It's a bit better than expected, the aptitude has improved quite a bit. Although there is still a little bit of the Power of Corruption remaining in the body, it's no longer a major issue."

One of the teachers put the student into the treatment pod and then said.

Fengjue nodded, a hint of appreciation adding to his gaze toward Nie Ning.

"Since you have this kind of talent, why don't you execute the upcoming experiments?"

At this time, the bespectacled Transcendent stepped forward, looking at Nie Ning with a smile, as if what happened just now had never happened.

"Are you a moron?"

Nie Ning retorted unceremoniously.

"How are you talking!"

The bespectacled Transcendent was full of anger, and his Rank 8 coercion fell upon Nie Ning.

"If your brain isn't problematic, then how did you come up with such a lousy idea, having someone with exceptional aptitude waste time doing this kind of thing."

Nie Ning bore the pressure and said in a cold voice.

With tens of thousands of people in the entire academy, if it were just simply looking after them, it wouldn't be a problem.

But if most people were in this failed state, he would probably be worked to death, and it might not even be possible to finish the Corruption experiments in a few years.

Let alone needing to recruit students in the future.

The bespectacled Transcendent snorted coldly: "Everything is for the Extreme Phase Demon Palace, sacrifices are inevitable."

As soon as these words came out, even Elder Fengjue couldn't help frowning.

The times have already changed, and oppressing people with power also depends on the timing.

This kind of thing could indeed be said, but that was for the old-timers of the Extreme Phase Demon Palace.

After all, those people ate and drank from the Extreme Phase Demon Palace, so repaying the Extreme Phase Demon Palace was naturally only right.

But Nie Ning had only joined the Extreme Phase Demon Palace for less than two years, and he didn't have much sense of belonging to the Extreme Phase Demon Palace, let alone someone with such outstanding talent.

"I joined the Extreme Phase Demon Palace just to become stronger, and why should I foot the bill for the mistakes made by a bunch of trash like you all."

"If your technology is no good, go back and practice more. Stop putting on airs of seniority just because you're old; you can't even figure out a crappy energy conversion, yet you have the nerve to learn from others and do research."

Nie Ning didn't care about the people present at all, speaking bluntly and sassing back.

"You!"

The bespectacled Transcendent was full of anger, and just as he wanted to speak, he was interrupted by Nie Ning.

"You what you, if everyone wastes the time of those with exceptional talent like you guys do, then will the Extreme Phase Demon Palace still want to develop in the future, or is it going to rely on a bunch of trash like you?"

Being sassed like this by Nie Ning, not only those teachers, but even Elder Fengjue's face turned ugly.

Other things were easy to talk about, but after all, the time of those with exceptional talent was extremely precious, so naturally it shouldn't be spent on some meaningless matters.

As long as they grew smoothly, it was the greatest reward for the Extreme Phase Demon Palace.

But for Elder Fengjue, he had participated in the Corruption experiment; Nie Ning was equivalent to scolding him as well.

"What, unconvinced?"

Nie Ning looked sideways at the angry bespectacled man.

"Disrespectful to elders..."

The bespectacled man just wanted to put on airs, but Nie Ning walked directly to the side of the experimental pod.

"The array patterns and circuits inside here are obviously wrong, there is simply no possibility of the experiment succeeding. Are you saying there's a problem with the array formation, or that there's a spy sabotaging things inside?"

Nie Ning cast an amused look around the circle and said with a smile.

As Nie Ning's voice fell, Elder Fengjue's gaze changed.

This was no trivial matter; it was the strategic goal of the next stage for the Extreme Phase Demon Palace.

If there really was a spy sabotaging things, he feared even he would be deeply implicated.

"Open the experimental pod."

Elder Fengjue said coldly.

"Elder, don't listen to his nonsense, he..."

The bespectacled man still wanted to say something, but Elder Fengjue's fierce gaze had already landed on him.

"I don't want to say it a second time!"
