"That's right, what else could it be?"
Ding Ling Dong frowned.
"Nothing, nothing. At first, I thought you were talking about your ex-boyfriend and felt a little embarrassed. But then I thought it was impossible, hahahaha."
Li Yao scratched his head. He didn't know why, but he felt very happy.
"What do you mean by 'impossible'? Do I look like I can't find a boyfriend?"
Ding Ling Dong raised her eyebrows and became angry.
"No, no, but... do you have one?"
Li Yao asked impulsively.
"Probably, maybe, it seems like I did!"
Ding Ling Dong blushed and said somewhat guiltily.
"What do you mean by 'probably, maybe, it seems like I did'?"
Li Yao turned into a curious baby.
"When I just entered college, we were not very familiar with each other. You know that there are more men than women in our college. Then, a senior brother from the Iron Fist Club pursued me. He said that he appreciated my passion for martial arts and hoped to explore the peak of martial arts with me. I saw that he was very sincere, and he was also very handsome, so I said that I would seriously consider it."
Ding Ling Dong said hesitantly.
"And then?"
Li Yao's throat was somewhat dry.
"Then, that afternoon, it was our Iron Fist Club's match between new and old students. I just happened to draw a lot to fight with him. I thought to myself, since you appreciate my passion for martial arts so much, then I would certainly blast out 120% of my strength and let you see my full strength, right? As a result, I was so excited that I accidentally broke four of his ribs and kicked him out of the arena, sending him flying into the audience. "
"That night, he sent a message from the hospital's intensive care unit, saying that he had thought it over carefully. He felt that I was a good person, but we were not suitable for each other, so he said that we should be good friends in the future! "
"That son of a bitch. Not even a little bit of manliness. Just a little setback and he retreated. Moreover, I didn't say yes or no, I just said that I would seriously consider it. What does the latter message mean? Who would want to be good friends with such a coward! "
"Encountering such an inexplicable matter, of course I am in a bad mood. Two days later, the Iron Fist Club and the Chaos Edge Hall clashed because of a small matter. It just so happened that I had a bellyful of anger, so I was a bit heavy-handed and sent fifteen of the Chaos Edge Hall's students to the hospital. "
"After that, no one dared to ask me out, those cowards!"
The more Ding Ling Dong spoke, the angrier she became. She inadvertently raised her head and saw Li Yao grinning foolishly. She could not help but fly into a rage and slap the door.
"What do you mean? I treat you as my good brother. That's why I'm telling you such an embarrassing thing. It's one thing for others to laugh at me for not being able to find a boyfriend, but even you're gloating? "
"I'm not gloating!"
Li Yao went on and on. The corners of his lips curled up again.
"How dare you deny it!"
Ding Ling Dong reached out like lightning, pinched Li Yao's cheeks, and pulled them with all her might. "You're smiling like a morning glory, yet you're still saying you're not gloating! I understand now, it must be because I'm usually too fierce to you and often bully you, so you're eager for me to not be able to find a boyfriend, right? You must be very happy right now. Very happy, right? "
Li Yao was almost tearing up from being pulled by her, "Ouch, ouch, ouch! Let go of me! "
Ding Ling Dong gave him another hard pinch before letting go of his hand in satisfaction. With a "bang", she slammed the door shut.
She secretly saw Li Yao rubbing his cheeks and leaving with a grimace. Only then did she sit down under the window and take a deep breath.
"What's wrong with me today!"
She grabbed her hair with all her might, turning it into a messy bird's nest. "Why did that stinking brat ask me such an embarrassing thing? He's going to laugh me to death!"
"Little Cai, come here and play what you saw yesterday!"
Ding Ling Dong crooked her finger at the parrot.
Everything that happened last night was recorded by the parrot with its crystal camera and stored in the crystal chip.
The colorful parrot hopped in front of Ding Ling Dong, opened its mouth, and shot out a beam of light, which transformed into a small 3D image.
From Li Yao circling around the villa, to him climbing through the window to check the wine bottles on the table, to him coming to the basement and being hugged by Ding Ling Dong, the whole process was recorded one by one.
As she watched, Ding Ling Dong pouted her lips.
Especially when she saw that she was tightly clinging to Li Yao like an octopus, and Li Yao's face was filled with incomparable pain, she was even more furious. She slapped the floor, causing the wine bottles to jump up.
"Is it that uncomfortable?"
Ding Ling Dong angrily said, "Hugging won't hurt you. What's with that half-dead, half-dead look of disgust?"
...
On the campus boulevard, Li Yao walked with light steps, refreshed and refreshed. As he strode towards the Refining Department, his mini crystal processor suddenly vibrated.
"It must be the professor who came to urge me!"
Li Yao quickened his pace.
He raised his wrist and saw that it was a newly added contact, Jiang Shaoyang!
In the spiritual crane messenger, Jiang Shaoyang's bald head was shining under the sunlight, but there was a strange smile on his face.
His temperament was different from the previous two days. It was a mixture of extreme madness and incomparable calmness. It was like a frozen flame, making people unable to tell whether it was cold or hot.
"What's the matter?"
Li Yao was quite surprised.
"It's nothing important. I just want to tell Senior Brother Li Yao that I have officially withdrawn from Deep Sea University and will embark on a brand-new path of refining."
Jiang Shaoyang leisurely said.
"What!"
Li Yao was quite surprised. Jiang Shaoyang was really crazy. Could it be that he was influenced by what he said that day?
Jiang Shaoyang said calmly.
"I've thought about it for a long time. Senior Brother Li Yao is right. In the past, there were too many restraints on my body, preventing me from displaying my true strength!"
"The moment I shaved my hair, I decided to sever all ties with my past life, my past environment, and my past self. I gave up everything and explored a path that no one had ever taken before!"
"So, from now on, please don't call me 'Tenth Star'. I am me, Deep Sea University, and Novem Stellae. It's not the same as a supernova. "
"I've heard you say that your nickname in the refiners' circle is' Fiend Star '. Be it a demon star or a supernova. Not to mention the Nine Star Chain. At the end of the day, they are all just tiny stars. "
"I'm different. I will become the sun in the refiners' circle, shining ten thousand times brighter than all of you!"
His calm expression and arrogant declaration made it hard for people to tell whether he was joking or really crazy.
"But …"
Li Yao frowned.
"You don't believe me?"
Jiang Shaoyang's eyes were burning with flames.
"It's not that I don't believe you, but … In a broad sense, the sun is also a star. "
Li Yao said seriously.
"…"
Jiang Shaoyang was stunned.
"The sun is the same as the stars. They are both stars, and most of the stars are actually brighter than the sun. It's just that they are too far away from us, so they look dimmer. For example, the Fire Cloud Star, which is relatively close to the Tian Yuan Realm, is 17 times brighter than the sun according to the observations of astronomers. Such stars are countless in the sea of stars. This is common knowledge. Why don't you know? "
"…"
Jiang Shaoyang was stunned for a long time. The veins on his bald head bulged. He gritted his teeth and said, "Metaphor, this is just a metaphor! In short, please train like crazy, Senior Brother Li Yao, because I will come to you soon. The sun and the fiend star will compete again! "
"Pa!"
Jiang Shaoyang cut off the call in anger.
"Why is everyone acting a little weird today?"
Li Yao touched his nose and continued on his way.
He returned to the Refining Department. Having no time to rest, he went straight to Yuan Manqiu's laboratory.
"Professor. I'm sorry I'm late. "
Yuan Manqiu was facing a row of 3D holograms. She looked at them quietly.
On the holograms were the complicated structural designs of the Crystal Suit.
As she watched, sparkling and translucent tears seeped from the corners of her eyes.
"Li Yao, thank you. I have seen your efforts and hard work over the past year. If it weren't for your efforts, Project Mystic Skeleton wouldn't have been restarted so soon. On behalf of myself, on behalf of Old Mo, and all the teachers and students who sacrificed themselves for Project Mystic Skeleton, I thank you!"
Yuan Manqiu moved her fat body and bowed deeply to Li Yao.
Li Yao was at a loss. He hurriedly helped his professor up and grinned. "Professor, I'm also looking forward to the Mystic Skeleton Battlesuit being refined and flying in the sky!"
"Yes, we have to seize every minute and second so that the Mystic Skeleton Battlesuit can be reborn as soon as possible!"
Yuan Manqiu wiped away the tears in her eyes. She took a deep breath and calmed herself down. Then she said quickly,
"Let's cut the crap and get started. Let me introduce the current situation of the Refining Department to you first.
"Because of your outstanding performance, the university will increase the investment in the Refining Department next academic year. The sponsorship from the major sects will also increase. Therefore, the problem of funding is not big. We plan to recruit two classes with a total of sixty freshmen. I believe that many examinees will choose us if we invest a lot of resources."
"As for the teachers, after a year of running around, I've contacted a lot of experts in the circle of refiners. Originally, what everyone was worried about was nothing more than research funding. Now that the problem has been solved, many people, especially the grassroots refiners who are scattered everywhere, are willing to teach in the Grand Desolate War Institution."
Li Yao nodded.
Wealth, land, spells, and companionship were the four most indispensable factors for the ancient cultivators. Among them, wealth was the most important factor.
As a cultivator, they might not care about worldly pleasures, but research and training in any field required a lot of money and resources.
With endless research funding, of course, a lot of cultivators would be willing to teach.
"As for the teaching facilities, it will take too much time and effort to build a new floating mountain, which is unnecessary for now. I've contacted a buyer and prepared to buy a second-hand small floating mountain for modification. After three months of modification, it will be enough to satisfy the daily studies and training of 200 teachers and students, as well as the refinement of the Mystic Skeleton Battlesuit!"
