Wuhun element periodic table, rubbing black hole in Douluo

Chapter 423 Allies can also be enemies!

a.

The door to the quiet room at the elixir research base slowly opened, and Lin You walked out.

His face was slightly pale, and his steps seemed to carry a barely perceptible unsteadiness, but his eyes were even deeper and brighter than before he went into seclusion, as if they contained stars.

"Master Lin You!" Manager Li Rong, who had been waiting outside, immediately greeted him with a beaming smile. His gaze swept over Lin You, and he exclaimed in amazement, "Master, your physical condition seems to have improved considerably during your seclusion! We'll probably have to revise our previous pill supply plan for you. However, this will require about two weeks of adjustments and preparations."

Lin You waved his hand gently, his voice slightly hoarse from just coming out of seclusion: "It's alright, thank you for your trouble, Supervisor Li. I'll go back to my dormitory to rest first."

He nodded to Li Rong and then left the elixir research base directly.

This so-called unsteady gait was merely a normal reaction to the body not yet fully adapting to the massive amount of medicinal power absorbed in a short period of time. It had no effect whatsoever on his already forged foundation, comparable to Vajra.

Back in his dormitory, Lin You pushed open the door, only to find that the room was not empty.

Teacher Fanyu was sitting at his desk, his brows furrowed, his expression revealing a hint of undisguised anxiety.

Upon seeing Lin You enter, Fan Yu abruptly stood up, strode forward, and slammed the door shut behind her.

"Lin You, you've finally come out."

Fan Yu's voice was low and tinged with nervousness, "You've come to the Sun Moon Empire this time, what exactly is Elder Mu's specific plan? Now that the time is almost up, is there anything I can do to help you?"

He looked at Lin You, his eyes full of inquiry.

Lin You is a core exchange student personally appointed by Elder Mu, and also Elder Mu's personal disciple. His identity is special, and he may be carrying out some unknown secret mission.

Upon hearing this, Lin You's gaze sharpened slightly. After a moment of contemplation, a gentle smile suddenly appeared on his face: "Teacher Fan Yu, you're overthinking it. As for help, there's nothing particularly I need you to do."

He paused, then changed the subject, a hint of mystery creeping into his smile: "The real battlefield isn't here. However, we do need to exert a certain degree of... control and protection over this academy, especially Mingde Hall."

"Control? Protection?"

Teacher Fan Yu's brows furrowed even more deeply, her face filled with confusion and bewilderment. "Protect what? Isn't our purpose here to cause as much trouble as possible for the Sun Moon Empire, or even... to create a huge disturbance?"

Lin You waved his hand, his smile unchanged, but his tone carried a hint of guidance: "Not so, not so. Teacher Fan Yu, why don't you think about it carefully? In the past year, the students of the Sun Moon Royal Soul Guidance Academy, who have absorbed so many new theories, do they really still have such a strong aversion to our Shrek Academy? Do they still have that initial rejection of us exchange students from Shrek?"

Fan Yu was taken aback by what she heard, and subconsciously began to recall the bits and pieces of the past year.

Upon their initial arrival, the students of the Sun Moon Royal Soul Guidance Academy were indeed wary and guarded towards these exchange students from the "enemy" academy, and even harbored some hidden hostility.

However, as time went on, especially after Lin You's element theory caused a great uproar within the academy, the situation changed subtly.

Shrek Academy, as the birthplace of the elemental theory system, seems to be shrouded in a sacred halo in the eyes of these Sun and Moon students who are devoted to research.

They deeply admired Lin You, the "Father of Elements," and this admiration extended to the other Shrek exchange students. The students were eager to learn more about elemental theory and to exchange ideas with their peers from its "birthplace."

Under Lin You's deliberate guidance, the exchange students at Shrek Academy were also happy to share some theoretical knowledge that did not involve core secrets.

After a while, the man developed feelings for the woman, and the woman reciprocated.

The relationship between the students of the two colleges has become harmonious, even intimate, without anyone realizing it.

Aside from certain sensitive issues of political stance, their daily academic exchanges and interactions are comparable to those between classmates in the same college.

Thinking of this, even Fan Yu, a "science student" who usually only focuses on the research of soul tools, couldn't help but nod, a look of realization flashing in his eyes.

After categorizing and summarizing these scattered observations, he said in a deep voice, "Now that you mention it, it's true. In the past six months, the relationships between students have improved a lot, and some have even become like brothers. As long as they don't talk about sensitive topics such as which army they will join after graduation, everyone is very open in academic discussions and daily interactions."

Lin You's smile deepened: "That's right, Professor Fan Yu. This actually means that they have begun to accept us from the bottom of their hearts. They regard us as companions on the road of science."

He walked to the window, looked at the iconic Mingde Hall building outside, and said in a calm but undeniably firm voice: "Science has no borders, but scientists do."

At this point, Lin You's tone suddenly changed, taking on a chilling edge that made Teacher Fan Yu shiver.

"Therefore, if a war were to break out and sweep across the continent in the future, what do you think would happen to these students and researchers who possess the most advanced soul-guided technology of the Sun Moon Empire and represent the future of the empire?"

Lin You slowly turned around, his gaze sharp as a knife: "They must be the first targets to be attacked! And they will definitely be decapitation targets, wiped out completely!"

Teacher Fan Yu was startled, and her expression changed slightly.

Lin You continued, his voice growing increasingly somber: "Teacher, if we want to promote the industrialization of Soul Guidance throughout the entire Douluo Continent and achieve a leapfrog development in productivity, we cannot do without these technical backbones, these future scientists and Soul Guidance Masters! We at Shrek Academy, or rather, I, covet these talents from the Sun Moon Empire."

"but,"

He then changed the subject, adding a hint of sarcasm, "Our lust for their bodies doesn't mean that the three countries that originally belonged to Douluo Continent are the same. Xingluo, Tianhun, and Douling are still combat systems with Soul Masters as the absolute core. Even though the national level has begun to pay attention to the development of Soul Guidance Technology due to the growing military threat from the Sun Moon Empire, it is ultimately a forced pursuit."

"If, and I mean if, we were to give them a chance, a chance to weaken the Sun Moon Empire once and for all, what do you think they would do?"

Lin You's lips curled into a cold smile, "They would never mind first physically wiping out the Sun Moon Empire's cradle of soul masters—Mingde Hall—as well as all the students and teachers in this academy!"

"If successful, the technological heritage of the Sun Moon Empire will be disrupted, and their backbone will be completely broken! Within the next hundred years, the Sun Moon Empire will be in a state of decline and will no longer be able to threaten them. This is a matter of national destiny, and they have no reason to let such an opportunity slip by."

Lin You looked at Fan Yu, whose expression was becoming increasingly solemn, and said, word by word, "In other words, Teacher Fan Yu, even if Shrek Academy joins forces with the Douluo Three Kingdoms to eliminate the Holy Spirit Cult, our attitude towards the Sun Moon Empire, especially regarding these technological talents, is no longer that of simple allies."

"To some extent, we are already on the opposite side."
