Chapter 16 - He said

The Imperial Star Laboratory is conducting a secret experimental research

They wanted to test the extent to which the mental strength of disaster beasts at each age could reach.

Compared to the meager and pitiable mental strength of humans,

The mental power of the disaster beasts is tens or even hundreds of times greater than theirs.

And extracting spiritual power would inflict pain on the disaster beast.

Mental strength is usually considered the source of supernatural abilities

They wanted to steal the abilities of the disaster beasts through the method of mental purification.

Humans can also awaken various supernatural abilities,

For example, mind reading, space control, teleportation, etc

But no one can awaken the elemental power of the disaster beast that can destroy the heavens and the earth.

This is exactly what the researchers at the Imperial Star have always longed for.

The experimental drug dosage was still being increased.

The bear king in the transparent cage let out a heart-wrenching roar.

"We've reached the top." The researcher in charge of the operation stopped his hand on the button.

It's already at the maximum dose.

Upon hearing this, the expression of the lab leader, Mu Li, actually showed a hint of disappointment.

Shouldn't be, right?

This is unbearable.

Is this the limit of the Bear King?

Without a trace of empathy, he looked at the suffering Bear King in the arena

There was only indifference in his eyes.

Trash!

At this moment, the mechanical door automatically opened to both sides

A researcher in a white lab coat walked up to Muli and reported to him in a low voice.

"Major Li Yuan is here."

Mu Li glanced towards the doorway.

Sure enough, there was a man in a military uniform.

Mu Li was slightly surprised; when she first met him, he was full of vigor and spirit

Not as embarrassed as I am now.

His clothes were stained with blood, and two or three buttons were missing

The worst part was the scabbed bloodstain on his face

Judging by the depth of this wound, it will probably leave a scar.

However, for a soldier, having some scars is quite normal

More manly.

He could appear so rudely in the Imperial Star Laboratory, probably because he had encountered something.

Mu Li didn't ask, waiting for him to speak on his own

Unexpectedly, the first thing he said was a game-changer.

"The thunderbird has run away!"

This sentence frightened everyone present.

Except for Muli.

These researchers deal with disaster beasts all day long; they know how serious the consequences are.

"What should we do?"

"Heavens, will it come for revenge?"

"It's hard to say, birds hold grudges!"

The researcher almost blurted out, whispering softly.

Liyuan wasn't quite sure if this disaster was caused by him releasing the chains and shackles from the thunderbird

But he had no time to worry about that now; the most important thing was to quickly catch the Thunderbird.

Since his camp was attacked, those poachers, cowardly and fearful for their lives,

Those who survived stole a few ships from the camp and fled directly.

In the beginning, it took a hundred people to catch the thunderbird together

Now Liyuan has become a lone commander,

Even if he had battle strategies, it would be absolutely impossible for him to strike alone.

But Li Yuan knew that the Imperial Star Laboratory had this capability.

The reason he was so concerned about the whereabouts of the thunderbird,

Nature is not to make up for the great mistakes it has made,

The most important reason is..

Wen Meng was taken away by the Thunderbird.

Liyuan felt that he was beyond saving

At this critical moment, he still had the presence of mind to care about the lives of others.

The entire Di Xing Laboratory was waiting for Mu Li to give the order

But unexpectedly, Mu Li just said lightly,

"Let him run if he wants to."

Liyuan was stunned, "Didn't you say before that the thunderbird wandering outside was very dangerous?"

Mu Li didn't care at all.

Indeed, he did say that.

But the premise is based on the Thunderbird just having reached maturity and entering its mating season,

It can indeed endure for a very long time.

Must be dealt with.

But after much negotiation with Li Yuan, it was finally caught, and after being caught, it was kept in the camp for many days.

For such a long time, unable to mate,

That thunderbird, even if it escapes, won't live for long.

After hearing Mu Li's words, everyone finally breathed a sigh of relief. It did seem to be the case.

However, there was also an element of gambling involved.

Overall, it was more likely to die.

All the researchers in the Imperial Star Laboratory were relieved

Only Li Yuan, an outsider, still clung to the almost nonexistent small probability, relentlessly questioning Mu Li.

"If we don't mate, we'll die. But what if we do?" Li Yuan asked Mu Li.

Mu Li raised an eyebrow, "There are mother thunderbirds on this planet? How come I didn't know that?"

"What if it's not a thunderbird?" Li Yuan asked with an eerie academic curiosity.

The most frightening thing is when the air suddenly becomes quiet.

"..."

Do you even hear what you're saying?!

Mu Li was extremely well-mannered, possessing the false politeness of the elite class

There was no direct accusation that Li Yuan was a lunatic or a pervert

Instead, it gave him a fantasy that existed in a dream.

The grand dream of all beast tamers and awakened ability users.

The Calamity Beast!

With a little bit of thought, you would realize just how ridiculous this idea is.

The disaster beast's ability level starts at SS and has no upper limit.

If a Beast Master wants to control a beast, his ability level must be at least 2 levels higher than the disaster beast, which means SSSS.

And the highest level of supernatural ability in the Star Realm is barely SS

On the same level as the disaster beast.

There were only 10 in the entire star realm.

To tame the disaster beast, absolutely impossible.

If there really were a Beast Master who could control disaster beasts and suddenly emerged,

So they wanted to calm the thunderbird in heat,

It's simply a piece of cake.

This conclusion was derived based on the abilities of an S-class Beast Master

Calming one's contracted beast is a fundamental skill for a Beast Master.

Makoto rested his chin in his hand, appearing deep in thought.

"Ah!" he suddenly exclaimed as if he had an epiphany

A faint smile played on his lips, "Perhaps, there really are mother thunderbirds on the Green Lizard Star, who knows?"

The researchers present burst into uproarious laughter.

The boss led the way in telling dirty jokes, and they made no effort to hide the darkness within their hearts.

Their true natures were gradually revealed.

Only the female researcher in charge of drug control had slightly trembling fingertips

In his eyes, a light flickered.

The camp was destroyed, and Liyuan could stay at the Imperial Star Laboratory

But he just couldn't find peace in his heart.

I always feel like something is about to happen.

Looking at the student card in his hand, with Wen Meng's ID photo pasted in the center,

She smiled sweetly, pure and adorable.

Yes, he would have put it in his pocket by then.

So Wen Meng didn't see it afterward.

Liyuan spoke to the photo, "Good luck."

But then he suddenly remembered that he had once personally put her into the cage of a thunderbird in heat

I want to see her torn to pieces.

Now he found himself hoping that nothing would happen to her?

Isn't that having your cake and eating it too!

Get lost!

Emotional explosion,

He forcefully threw Wen Meng's student ID far away.

To discard this terrible memory as well.

Late at night, the patrol guards near the Imperial Star Laboratory,

At a glance, he saw someone sneaking around in the bushes

He shone his flashlight and drew his gun with the other hand, "Who's there? Don't move!!"

The man looked up.

It was actually Major Li Yuan.

"What are you doing here so late?" the guard asked, confused.

"I'm digesting." Li Yuan found him very annoying.

"Alright," the guard said, though puzzled. How could planting rice seedlings be someone's way of aiding digestion?

But he couldn't meddle in the affairs of the upper class, only offering a heartfelt reminder,

"Then please be careful while walking, further in that direction is—"

Before he could finish his sentence, in the blink of an eye,

Li Yuan stepped into the experimental pond of the Imperial Star Laboratory.

Memory cannot be discarded, but a student ID can.

This story tells Liyuan not to throw things around carelessly

Otherwise, when you try to find it later, it will be quite embarrassing!

In the end, the decision was not to stay.

Li Yuan's pants were soaked up to the knees, and his military boots could practically hold fish.

He started the aircraft, one of the few intact ones in the camp.

Most of them were destroyed by the thunderbird.

Without an official order, he could not leave the Green Lizard Star on his own accord

He is still in his punishment period.

But, if he truly wants to go back, who could possibly stop him?

If the military path is not an option, at worst, I can go back and inherit the family business.

His dad and mom beamed with joy.

The aircraft ascended, and Li Yuan couldn't shake the feeling that a giant claw would swoop down at any moment.

There truly was a shadow.

On the control lever button beside her, Wen Meng's student ID swayed gently

Li Yuan took it back to the capital star.

Placed by the pillow, kept as a memento.

After Li Yuan arrived home, the Li family was as excited as if it were the New Year.

"Young master has returned!"

The old woman saw Li Yuan landing on the tarmac from a distance

He hurriedly ran to Madam Li's room to report this good news.

Mrs. Li immediately went out to greet them

Holding Li Yuan, tears streamed down his old face.

"Finally back."

Master Li could no longer contain his inner excitement,

I don't even know how many years it's been since I last saw this unfilial son!

But he still kept a composed face, pretending to be aloof

He just coughed loudly twice, hoping to make the mother and daughter notice his presence.

Liyuan walked over and called out, "Dad."

Master Li gave his arm a hard slap, "You brat, you still know how to come back!"

"How long do you plan to stay this time?" Mrs. Li wiped away the tears of joy from her face.

Li Yuan, in a fit of pique, declared, "I'm not leaving!"

Being overshadowed by Huo Xiao all day long was driving him crazy.

Fortunately, Huo Xiao is not in the capital star at this moment.

Not that much of an eyesore.

"Really?!" The two elders of the Li family were overjoyed.

The son no longer went to that wretched military camp to seek hardship.

The years of icy estrangement melted away in this moment.

Mrs. Li struck while the iron was hot.

"Alright, alright, you're not getting any younger. It's time to start thinking about settling down!"

"Ah?!"

Li Yuan felt as if he had been struck by lightning.

It turns out that the thunderbird's lightning did strike me back then, just with a bit of a delay

At this moment, it fell.

I should have known to die on the Green Lizard Star.

Li Yuan returned at a fortuitous time, just in time for the matchmaking event for the noble children on the Emperor Star.

Under the pressure from his mother, he reluctantly went to participate.

Dressed casually, but the upright posture and unrestrained demeanor are not something that can be faked.

Even the scar on his face added to his rugged charm.

As soon as Li Yuan appeared, he attracted everyone's attention.

Two young girls stared at him for a long time.

It seems to be the young master of the wealthy Li family!

After many years of serving in the military abroad, he finally returned.

Li Jia had only him, the precious only child

Top-tier eligible bachelor!

"Hurry up," urged by her female companion nearby,

Another girl finally mustered the courage and walked over,

"Hello, my name is Wen Xin. Can we get to know each other?"

Li Yuan didn't really look at her, casually responded with a "hmm," and said two words, "Li Yuan."

Saying this, he speared a piece of honeydew melon and put it into his mouth

His interest in the melon was greater than in himself??

The atmosphere was a bit awkward.

"Eh? Wen Xin!"

At this moment, a young girl with exquisite makeup ran over in high heels from a distance

"Has your brother come back?"

She is Wen Xin's classmate, Tao Tao, who is madly infatuated with the eldest son of the Wen family.

"No." Wen Xin shook her head.

Inwardly annoyed, he thought, doesn't she have any sense? Why choose this moment to strike up a conversation?

But Tao Tao had no intention of leaving, chattering on and on.

Liyuan had no interest in the girls' gossip and turned to leave

Wen Xin's gaze clung to his back.

Li Yuan had barely taken a few steps when he heard a startled cry behind him

"What!? He's still out there looking for that imposter Wen Meng?"

Wen Meng??

Li Yuan was sensitive to these two syllables, and he retreated again

Directly ignoring Wen Xin, he fixed his gaze on Tao Tao's face

He remembered the girl's husky voice,

"Just now, you mentioned Wen Meng. Which 'Wen' and which 'Meng'?"

Tao Tao didn't understand the reason, but she answered him anyway.

"Gentle as 'wen', adorable as 'meng'."

Li Yuan's entire body froze.

This name,

What are the chances of having the same name on the Emperor Star?
