Feng Qi had already expected that he would meet Lin Ran again after entering the Hu Po Research Institute.

But what he didn't expect was that it would happen so quickly.

Just after entering the Hu Po Research Institute, I met Lin Ran.

At this time, Lin Ran stood up from his seat, walked to him, stretched out his hand and beat his chest:

"Brother Qi, I haven't been able to contact you for so many years. Where have you been?"

"I went to the front line to train for several years."

Looking at Lin Ran, who had some gray hair on his head and a much more mature face, he smiled and punched Lin Ran's chest.

A familiar feeling flows in my heart.

"Why don't you tell me when you go to the front line? I almost thought you disappeared from the world." After saying that, Lin Ran raised his fist again and hit his chest, and then asked with a look of anticipation:

"Are you ready to come back and continue studying the methods?"

"More or less, I plan to make a living at the Hupo Research Institute." Feng Qi smiled and nodded.

After hearing these words, Lin Ran finally showed a smile on his face.

There are not many geniuses that he can truly admire.

Feng Qi is definitely the best one in his eyes.

During his days at Star City Academy, he witnessed Feng Qi's terrifying talent. Sometimes he could develop a cultivation technique in just a few days after a sudden inspiration.

During the days when he entered the Hu Po Research Institute, he gained a deeper understanding of the study of martial arts, and even more realized how terrifying Feng Qi's talent was.

Under normal circumstances, a skill needs to go through many steps from concept to formal birth.

The process of creating exercises can also be called the process of perfecting the concept of cultivation.

However, there is a big discrepancy between the concept and reality.

The energy required to create a skill is unimaginable.

After the birth of the exercise method, it needs to go through several versions of updates and tests to ensure that there are no hidden dangers in the exercise path and can be released to the outside world with confidence.

After he joined the Hu Po Academy, he always wanted to join the Kung Fu group.

However, the senior management of the Hupo Research Institute never approved his application. Even so, he continued to study Kung Fu research knowledge whenever he had free time, and often read the previous years' Kung Fu research materials of the Hupo Research Institute.

This includes the exercise data developed by Feng Qi.

He was surprised to find that all the exercises developed by Feng Qi passed the test phase once and there was no need for subsequent improvements, updates or modifications.

This kind of talent made Lin Ran understand more deeply how terrifying Feng Qi's talent was back then.

After so many years, Feng Qi's original dazzling aura has faded, and he has never developed any new cultivation techniques.

But he always believed that Fengqi would definitely return as the king one day in the future.

At that time, he will be the most dazzling new star of this era, writing his own legendary chapter in the long history.

He firmly believed in this.

But over the years, he has been deeply puzzled by Feng Qi's disappearance.

For this reason, he even sent an email to ask Scarlet Research Institute where Feng Qi had gone.

As a result, the Scarlet Research Institute gave him no response at all.

In addition, he also asked researchers at the Scarlet Research Institute about the news about sealing chess during exchanges between research institutes.

The answer given by the other party was also unclear.

He really wanted to use the highest authority of the Hupo Research Institute to find out where Feng Qi had gone through consumption, residence registration, etc.

However, he does not have the authority to view other people's information at will.

Feng Qi's disappearance became a mystery in his mind.

But he did not give up on searching for Feng Qi.

I plan to use my authority to access relevant information when I am promoted to the management of Hupo Research Institute in the future.

Under Lin Ran's warm greeting, Feng Qi came to the sofa and sat down.

Sitting down next to him, Lin Ran's eyes flashed with anticipation:

"Brother Qi, I believe that with your ability, the Hupo Research Institute will definitely set up a special technique research group for you. When the time comes, remember to recruit me to work in your technique research and development team."

"As the leader of the magic team, your next step should be to become the boss of your magic research department, instead of thinking about continuing to develop techniques."

After hearing these words, Feng Qi couldn't help but roll his eyes.

"Researching Kung Fu is my dream. If I can't participate in Kung Fu research in this life, I...I will never rest in peace."

Hearing these words, he felt ashamed.

After so many years, Lin Ran's desire to study the exercises has not diminished at all.

"By the way, tell me, what exactly have you been doing on the front lines these past years?"

Facing the inquiry, Feng Qi began to tell the story he had prepared.

Looking at Lin Ran who nodded from time to time, he suddenly felt uncomfortable in his heart.

At this sacrifice line, Wang Jinjin had already entered the Scarlet Research Institute.

With Lin Ran's current influence, when the Lord of Mist infiltrates the Tiger Soul Research Institute, he will become the best target to seize the body.

Lin Ran is now the most famous genius in the field of cultivation.

Every time a new spell is released, it will attract a large number of new students in the academy, and frontline soldiers will compete to learn it.

This kind of influence is full of temptations for the Lord of Mists.

What the Lord of the Mist lacks most now is an influential media to promote his improved "Flesh and Blood Sacrifice" technique. At this time, Lin Ran will obviously be the best choice.

Just like what the Lord of the Mist said originally.

As long as "Flesh and Blood Sacrifice" is initially promoted, it will spread and spread like a virus.

Not only human cultivators, but also domain forces will become "sacrifice" after trying to practice, and then pass them on to future generations.

The influence of flesh and blood sacrifice is invisible.

On the surface, this technique brings hope to humans and the weak races in the realm, but in fact, they have become nutrients for the growth of the Lord of the Mist from the very beginning.

But he couldn't remind Lin Ran now.

The Lord of the Mist has the ability to read part of the memory after completing the body seizure.

In the words of the Lord of Mist, the memory he read was full of randomness, and it was impossible to accurately obtain the memory content of a certain period of time.

But he can't gamble.

If the Lord of the Mist reads the content of his confession to Lin Ran, this sacrifice line will be completely destroyed.

This is irresponsible to ourselves, and even more irresponsible to our fellow travelers on this timeline.

Their efforts will be in vain due to their own willfulness.

During the chat, he suppressed his emotions and chatted with Lin Ran about his prepared frontline experiences with a smile.

Finally, they talked about their experiences at Star City Academy.

They couldn't help laughing when they talked about Lin Ran drinking too much Gongxun Liquor and jumping into a lake to swim to cool off.

The embarrassing things in their youth brought them back to their youth.

But those are memories after all.

The iron triangle of dry rice that once stood in the north corner of the Xuefu restaurant has long since disappeared.

Other friends, Lin Ran, Yang Xinxin, Monk... also took different paths.

While chatting, it was time for dinner.

Following Lin Ran to the restaurant at the Hupo branch base, they packed three plates full of food, brought some drinks, and went to the rooftop on the top floor of the base.

The rooftop of Hupo Research Institute seems to be a tea drinking place, with many tea tables and tea sets placed there.

Following Lin Ran to a tea table, they put down their dinner plates.

"Brother Qi, there is no atmosphere in the restaurant, so we will eat here to reminisce about the past and talk about future plans."

As he spoke, Lin Ran reached out and unscrewed the bottle cap:

"I haven't drank for many years. Alcohol affects the efficiency of my magic research, but I will make an exception for you today."

With that said, Lin Ran handed him the bottle and then opened another bottle.

The bottles clinked together, and a smile appeared on Lin Ran's face:

"Brother Qi, let's first talk about your next plan after entering the Hupo Research Institute. Do you want me to recommend you to join the exercise research team? With your ability, being an exercise test experimenter is really overqualified."

"You just came here and you want me to be your relationship partner?"

"What I hate the most is people with connections, but you are different. You are a person with real talents and learning. As the saying goes, don't avoid relatives when you promote talents. I don't want to see my pearls covered with dust." Lin Ran said with a serious face.
