"Flying Sword Dao Art, Merging Sword Spell, Wind Control Dao Art, combine—Returning Thousand Swords Magical Power!"

On the training grounds, Fang Yuan fiercely displayed his sword arts. Numerous fine Sword Qi gathered with their devastating power but did not explode.

"Being a Nascent Soul or Soul Transformation cultivator, having mastery of spiritual will, and using the power of heaven and earth will allow me to cultivate magical powers! After combining several magical powers, it becomes the trump card of Undead Immortals—immortal techniques!

"It's a pity that there are issues with exchanging for magical powers in my current state. I can't even think about immortal techniques for now!"

Some talented cultivators could completely break through their shackles at the Golden Core stage and master incomplete magical powers in advance. The Red Tarantula's great commander was one such example.

Therefore, it was entirely justifiable for Fang Yuan to exchange a magical power or two.

As for the fluctuations during practice, it was more than enough to use his Demon God abilities to cast illusions that covered the entire training grounds.

"Even though getting immortal techniques is difficult, there are fortunately ways to do it. But there aren't any normal ways to obtain arcane spells…"

Fang Yuan was currently following the route of ancient Arcanists, advancing by continuously analyzing high-level arcane spell models. Unfortunately, such knowledge was very scarce in East Dragon University. Especially the legendary arcane spells, which were heavily guarded just like immortal techniques.

He would alert Venerable Three Star once he exchanged for an immortal technique. But there was no place to exchange for legendary arcane spells even if he wanted to.

However, Fang Yuan managed to find a shortcut to this.

"There's an Undead Immortal and two Grand Arcanists from the military stationed in the Blood Dragon Research Institute currently. Perhaps… I can try controlling one of the Arcanists to obtain all of his spell models when the opportunity arises!"

It was simple for a Demon God to enter someone's memory to obtain information.

The researchers who came were naturally not the East and West's best such as Dark Star, the Black Death God, or the Thunder God. According to Fang Yuan's observations, not one of them was higher than level thirty, even level twenty-five. This was his chance!

"Speaking of which… there's also the breakthrough in the research of the Seven Emotions Overmind's corpse. At least, Fu Hongxue thinks there are no problems with it, and he can use it to improve the medium."

Fang Yuan walked out of the training grounds, changed, and went to the research institute with a tinge of worry. "The uneasiness in my heart is growing stronger… Looks like something is going to happen!"

However, unless he revealed his identity, no one would give a damn about his words. He did not want to suffer undue humiliation.

"Lin Meng, quickly come and see!" Ross and Ye Piaoling pulled him along, their eyes brimming with excitement. "It's about to begin!"

"Okay!"

They switched on the screen in their room and saw the Blood Sea.

Normal researchers and other miscellaneous people like them did not have the privilege of on-site viewing, and they could only witness it through broadcast.

In fact, within the Blood Sea, there were only three Undead Immortals and two Grand Arcanists.

"I've waited so long for this. Finally…"

With excitement in his eyes, Fu Hongxue dropped a blood-red test tube into it.

Crack!

The test tube exploded in the meat nest at the center of the Blood Sea, and a trace of red liquid oozed out.

The flesh medium started moving. After thirty seconds, it expanded, occupying quite a bit of the Blood Sea.

"Quick! Give it the nutrient solutions and metal preparations!" Fu Hongxue shouted. "Open the valves!"

Several channels opened in the laboratory, and a large amount of blood-red liquid flowed into the Blood Sea, growing the medium to eventually occupy the entire laboratory, like a palace of flesh and blood.

A red-purple mass of flesh was 'spat' out by it.

"Quick, test the strength of Momon flesh!" Fu Hongxue said nervously.

A huge robotic arm grabbed that red-purple mass of meat and started scanning. "Hardness: 10014, flexibility: 6007, rune adaptability is excellent! Evaluation: fully meets the standard of Emperor-grade mecha!"

"Success!"

Everyone cheered, and the whole institute suddenly plunged into a sea of joy.

Only Fang Yuan had an ugly look on his face. It seems like… it's exactly the same as I predicted. I have to be prepared to take drastic measures! More importantly, I'll inevitably have to be in contact with the Momon armor after they're produced, so I can't stay here long if I want to remain hidden for the eventual victory!

Clang!

At this time, the laboratory door was kicked open. Wu Wudi, clothed in a lab coat, walked in. "Good day, everyone!"

"What are you doing here?" Ye Piaoling frowned.

"I'm here to make an announcement… In view of assistant Lin Meng's laziness over the recent period, you are dismissed! I will replace you as the research assistant!" Wu Wudi smirked at Lin Meng. "Apologies…"

"Impossible!" Ye Piaoling's pupil shrank. "Why would Venerable Blood Dragon agree to it?!"

"Why not?" Wu Wudi chuckled. "Isn't it better for the project if I take his place? Moreover… Grand Arcanist Oris has persuaded Professor Fu Hongxue to design and build a mecha for me. The raw material will be the latest Momon armor…"

The research institute had to accept some researchers with military backgrounds in order to obtain the Seven Emotions Overmind's flesh. Grand Arcanist Oris was one of them, and his words naturally had some weight.

To Fu Hongxue, Fang Yuan was just a talented young man who had donated a mecha. He would certainly stop Wu Wudi if he were to cause Fang Yuan any harm.

However, he was merely asking to replace him as an assistant, and it was not good to go against a Grand Arcanist over it.

Besides, a genius assistant at the Nascent Soul Stage was obviously better than the unknown Fang Yuan, and he had also graduated from East Dragon University!

Fang Yuan's wristband sounded an alarm. "Beep! Warning! Warning! Your researcher permissions have been revoked. Please leave the laboratory within three minutes. Bring no material with you lest you be punished!"

"Good! Very good!" Fang Yuan laughed coldly, took off his lab coat, and left. The heavens really favor me. I was having trouble finding an excuse to leave!

"Lin Meng!" Ye Piaoling wanted to help him but could say nothing.

…

"Going by his character, this is only Wu Wudi's first step in his plan!"

Fang Yuan returned to his dormitory and immediately decided to avoid trouble and wait for an opportune time.

"Just nice… I can take this opportunity to increase my cultivation to the peak!"

In any case, he had Principal Three Star's protection in East Dragon University. Wu Wudi could do nothing to him as long as he stood firm.

Wu Wudi's thoughts were probably on his mecha anyway.

Time flew, and another three months passed.

"Bro… you don't know just how arrogant the Wu family has been recently…" Qi Yunshan confided in Fang Yuan bitterly. "Wu Wudi truly has wild ambitions. The school trained him to Nascent Soul before he turned around and joined the military, the West's military. He's been showing off his power in school recently, and I heard that his mecha is about to be completed. He's really going all the way!"

"No rush! No rush!" Fang Yuan took a sip of his drink leisurely. "Oh, right… Has the Cosmic Lifeform Alliance made any moves?"

"Nothing!" Qi Yunshan scratched his head in doubt. "After the last ambush proved successful, the Alliance had planned several attacks to bring the situation in the Devil Galaxy back to the past!

"And there have been no new wormholes in the East Dragon star sector. Perhaps the previous time was just an immature experiment from the other party…"

…

"Senior Qi, heed my advice!" Fang Yuan did not lift his head from browsing the internet. "You better stay away from Planet East Dragon during this period of time!"

"Why? You want me to stay away from Wu Wudi?" Qi Yunshan obviously took it wrongly. "What can he do to me in East Dragon University?"

He got up to leave after a few more sentences of miscommunication.

Fang Yuan laid there lazily, without any intention to see his guest off.

His attention was on a few pieces of news.

"Professor Han Yunfeng of East Dragon University has released a patent for ancient drug refinement methods. Some studies have shown that this patent can increase the success rate for the high-tier brain development drug by about 20%. The medical community applauds Professor Han Yunfeng's selfless contribution and has decided to set up an award in his name for those who have made outstanding contributions to medicine!"

"Haha… Han Yunfeng became a professor?" Fang Yuan nodded and turned to the next news.

"There has been a stunning breakthrough in Professor Fu Hongxue's research. Momon armor has begun to impact the high-end mecha armor market, and the stocks of several major mecha manufacturing giants have plummeted. It's reported that the military has invested heavily to create mass-production factories. In the future, Emperor-grade mechas will no longer be a dream. The author is honored to predict that it will spell the end of the cosmic lifeforms once these Emperor-grade mechas are in mass production!"

"Mass-production factories? That's interesting. Looks like the output increased sharply after the medium was enhanced!"

Fang Yuan sneered, confirming his suspicions even more.

Of course, something produced off a production line could not actually be regarded as an Emperor-grade mecha. Although there was now a solution to the most important armor materials, the other raw materials were still rare after all. They were at best 'pseudo Emperor-grade'. It was still terrifying nonetheless since it had caused a huge shuffle in the mecha industry.

Those mecha manufacturing companies might have even assassinated Fu Hongxue if he did not stay within East Dragon University.

"However, Wu Wudi's mecha has yet to be completed even though the other ones are being mass-produced. It seems like he's sparing no effort, adamant in creating a state-of-the-art mecha!"
