My martial spirit leads me to Earth; I begin by submitting my skills to the Douluo Continent.

Chapter 72 Being Studied

The two beautiful young women had their mouths slightly open, and there was no longer any disdain in their eyes for the little brother.

Dugu Yan stared intently at the boy in front of her, his mind replaying his mind-blowing speech.

Those profound terms about underlying logic and objective laws seemed to offer her a glimmer of dawn in the endless darkness.

If he dares to break the ironclad rules of the Soul Master world that have stood the test of time for thousands of years, if he can truly see through the essence of the material world—

Dugu Yan swallowed hard, her voice trembling slightly.

"You just said that you need to see through the essence of matter and grasp the underlying logic of the evolution of martial spirits."

She unconsciously took a step forward, her eyes filled with longing.

"What if—I mean, what if—there's a deadly poison inherited from the very root of a martial spirit, passed down through generations? Could your system's theory unravel it?"

Having suffered from the venom of the Jade Phosphorus Snake for a long time, she longed to find a way out of this predicament more than anyone else.

Even though it was just a pie in the sky painted by a boy, after witnessing his terrifying theoretical system, she still wanted to take a bite no matter what.

Seeing her nervous expression, Su Yun pushed up his sunglasses and smiled calmly.

"In the face of scientific systems theory, no toxin is mysterious or unpredictable."

Su Yun spoke in a relaxed tone, as if they were discussing what to eat tonight.

"So-called highly toxic substances are nothing more than a combination of specific molecules or a stack of mutated proteins. Once you do a blood test to understand its molecular structure and chemical equation, it's incredibly easy to formulate a targeted antidote that can neutralize it."

Easy peasy!

These four words exploded in Dugu Yan's mind like a thunderclap.

The nightmare that had plagued the Dugu family for generations, and which even a titled Douluo couldn't solve, could be easily resolved by this boy!

"I'm joining! I'm joining right now!"

Dugu Yan grabbed Su Yun's hand excitedly, her eyes burning with fervor.

"I'm dropping out of school today! I want to come to your Spark Academy!"

Su Yun nodded in satisfaction; the true intentions were now revealed.

"Very good, I greatly admire your awareness of seeking the truth!"

"As one of the first members, I promise you that you will be able to participate in research immediately upon enrollment."

Dugu Yan and Ye Lingling exchanged a glance, their eyes sparkling with excitement and anticipation.

The two asked in unison, their voices trembling with eager anticipation, "How are we going to conduct the research?"

Su Yun pushed up his sunglasses, a kind smile playing on his lips, and uttered four words lightly: "Being studied."

"what?"

The smiles on the two girls' faces froze instantly.

So, the so-called participation in research is just being a guinea pig!

However, Dugu Yan only hesitated for a second before nodding vigorously without hesitation.

"No problem! I'm willing to do anything to cure my grandfather and me from the poison!"

After saying that, the decisive young woman suddenly turned her head and stared intently at Ye Lingling beside her.

Ye Lingleng felt uneasy under her gaze and subconsciously took a half step back.

Dugu Yan grabbed Ye Lengleng's shoulder, her voice so excited it was almost manic.

"Sisters, let's give him all the money we have to help him start a school! He'll definitely be able to cure my grandfather's illness!"

Ye Lengling's eyes were full of innocence.

She glanced at Su Yun, then at Dugu Yan, her tone slightly innocent.

"Do I have to give you mine too?"

"right!"

Dugu Yan spoke with absolute certainty, leaving no room for negotiation.

Ye Lengling said "Oh," and actually obediently took out a gold soul coin stored-value card with a considerable value from her bosom, and stuffed it into Su Yun's hand along with her own money bag full of pocket money.

Su Yun looked at the heavy sum of money in her hand, and before she could even sigh, she heard Dugu Yan begin her next plan.

"My grandfather is extremely stubborn. If he doesn't agree to us dropping out of school and transferring, we'll go to the cliff outside Tiandou City first thing tomorrow morning and threaten to kill ourselves. He loves me the most, he'll definitely agree!"

Upon hearing this plan to destroy everything, Ye Lengleng was completely stunned.

A look of utter confusion and grievance flashed in her eyes, and her voice trembled with a hint of tears.

"Am I going to die too?"

Dugu Yan nodded emphatically without hesitation: "Yes!"

A gentle breeze swept across the open space, stirring up a few fallen leaves.

Su Yun, standing to the side, was dumbfounded and deeply shocked.

"Ahem—there's really no need to go to such extremes."

Su Yunqian coughed twice and forcefully stuffed the money back into Dugu Yan's hand, untouched.

Dugu Yan accepted the huge sum of money, casually stuffed it into her pocket, and put all of her and Ye Lengleng's belongings into her own pocket.

Standing to the side, Ye Lengleng stared blankly at her empty little hands, then looked at her best friend's bulging pockets.

She could only purse her lips in grievance, her eyes clear and pitiful as she looked at Dugu Yan.

"Little brother Su Yun, don't think it's too little! If it's not enough, I'll figure out how to make up the difference tomorrow—"

"This has nothing to do with money."

Su Yunyi interrupted her righteously, put his hands behind his back, and adopted an attitude of regarding money as dirt.

"Our Spark Academy is backed by extremely strong financial resources, with ample start-up capital."

"I started this school to seek the truth, not to stoop so low as to squeeze pocket money from you two little girls."

"Keep this money safe so as not to cause unnecessary misunderstandings among your elders, who might think you've encountered some kind of scam."

Upon hearing the words "ample funds," Dugu Yan finally breathed a sigh of relief, but her brows remained furrowed.

"But—my grandpa is really stubborn. What if he doesn't process my withdrawal from school?"

Su Yun pushed up his sunglasses, a calm smile playing on his lips.

"Academic research requires a gradual approach, and such acts of 'terrorism'—crying, making a scene, and threatening suicide—are the most taboo. If parents really don't agree to withdrawing from school and transferring, that's fine too."

Su Yun opened her arms wide, her tone tolerant.

"Our Spark Academy practices open teaching, and we welcome all students to audit our classes."

"An auditor?"

"That's right."

Su Yun nodded.

"You are perfectly entitled to retain your student status at Tiandou Advanced Academy."

"Whenever you have time, you can always bypass the firewall and come over to participate in our research. Wouldn't that be the best of both worlds?"

Upon hearing that they wouldn't have to drop out of school, and certainly wouldn't have to hold hands and jump off a cliff, Dugu Yan and Ye Lengleng were overjoyed.

"Great! It's settled then!"

Dugu Yan excitedly patted Su Yun on the shoulder and pulled up Ye Lengleng, who was relieved.

"Let's go back and pack our things today, and come back first thing tomorrow morning to 'study'... no, to be 'studied'!"

After receiving Su Yun's affirmative answer, the beautiful snake didn't linger for a moment. She grabbed Ye Lengling, skillfully scaled the high wall again, and disappeared outside the manor.
