In the evening, all the buildings and streets in Wuhun City were lit up.
Under the cover of the dark starry sky, the city was as bright as day.
There are even more pedestrians on the streets, and their enthusiasm for defeating the night is unlikely to diminish for a year or two.
Almost all shops were still open, and Flanders and others were eating in a restaurant.
When his dream lover Liu Erlong arrived, Flanders spent a lot of money and went directly to the most popular restaurant in the outer city of Wuhun City and asked for a private room on the second floor.
Liu Erlong leaned against the window, looking at the brilliant lights outside, with a fascinated look on her face.
"It's really unexpected. I remember the last time I came to Wuhun City was four years ago. It's completely different from now."
Flanders smiled and said, "Of course. This is the era of soul guides. Under the leadership of Saint Master Latio, the times will change more and more. I heard that there will be flying soul guides in the future..."
"What is that?" Liu Erlong looked at Flanders curiously.
Flanders specifically learned about the relevant information, asked Liu Erlong to sit down, and then began to show off his knowledge.
The aviation business group facilitated by soul beasts will launch a manned soul-guided flying program in the future.
From now on, even ordinary people will be able to enjoy the treatment of soul guides.
It is said that the speed is increasing by leaps and bounds, and one can reach Xingluo City directly from Tiandou City in one day!
"This... this is simply incredible! Flanders, no wonder you all ran to Wuhun City. It seems that only here can we get so much information." Liu Erlong exclaimed repeatedly.
Flanders smiled complacently, "As I expected, Wuhun City will be the center of the future, no, from now on, it has become the center of Douluo Continent."
"I also heard that the Spirit Hall is going to jointly launch a soul guide device with the Sea God Island! I heard it is called the Soul Guide Vehicle."
Flanders began to talk incessantly again.
Liu Erlong's eyes lit up when he heard this.
A woman like her who loves novelty is passionate about these things.
Yu Xiaogang, who was listening nearby, felt unhappy because he considered himself to be Latio's arch-enemy.
Now that Flanders praises the changes that Latio has brought, can he be happy?
He had a gloomy face, coughed twice, and said:
"They are just some superficial applications. There is nothing much to say. Flanders, are you also like those vulgar ordinary people, amazed by these little things?"
"..." Flanders mouth twitched, thinking to himself, Yu Xiaogang, you are such a killjoy!
Everyone else is talking about it happily, but you are the only one who is special?!
You are so awesome, but I don’t see any results from your research!
The manuscript I submitted yesterday was returned by the Scholars Union again. Do I still have the nerve to tell him about this?
Liu Erlong then realized that Yu Xiaogang was right beside her, but it wasn't that she had no feelings for Yu Xiaogang.
But these things are too new.
Moreover, Yu Xiaogang has changed his face now, making it difficult for her to put himself in Yu Xiaogang's identity.
"Then let's talk about something else. Saint Master Latio has a very good reputation now. Almost everyone in the world is grateful to him, right? The students of our Blue Blade Academy all like him very much..."
Liu Erlong talked about the situation in Tiandou City.
Although not all the deeds of Saint Master Latio could be spread there, and some were half true and half false, it was inevitable that there would be many admirers.
Among the ten people, at least half are fans of Master Latio.
"Saint Master Latio is respected, that's for sure. I admire him too, he really works for the country and the people. I saw four or five orcs appear in Tiandou City, and now the mainstream also uses the spirit rings he mentioned..."
When Liu Erlong mentioned Latio, his words were full of admiration.
"..."Yu Xiaogang's face turned even darker. Good fellow, she's having an affair right in front of me, right?
Even though I can't accept you and even run away from the marriage, you shouldn't like others!
Yu Xiaogang wanted to cough a few more times as soon as he opened his mouth, and by the way, he wanted to say that Saint Master Latio was just so-so, and let Liu Erlong de-charm him.
"Flander, did Saint Master Latio really kill a god?" Liu Erlong looked at Flander expectantly.
Flanders nodded and said, "It's true! And it was Haotian Douluo at that time... Now, there are almost more than ten gods in Wuhun City, right? It's really amazing! Saint Master Latio is more than a god..."
"Cough cough..." Yu Xiaogang clenched his fist and coughed again.
However, he didn't dare to say bad things about Master Latio anymore.
If the crazy fans of Saint Master Latio heard it, he might get beaten!
Liu Erlong's attention finally returned to Yu Xiaogang.
In fact, it had been such a long time since they last met, and she didn’t know how to face Yu Xiaogang now.
According to the original plan, she wanted to throw herself into Yu Xiaogang's arms.
But now that Yu Xiaogang has changed his appearance, she really can't do it.
The surprise of meeting each other after more than ten years can only be kept in the chest and cannot be vented.
"Xiaogang, what's wrong with you?" Liu Erlong asked with concern.
Yu Xiaogang sighed and gave Flanders a look, indicating that he should speak to him.
"Xiaogang..." Flanders began to tell the story.
He didn't have a secret in his mouth and didn't want to create a positive image for Yu Xiaogang. He just said whatever he wanted and Yu Xiaogang didn't hear the image of himself as a miserable scholar.
Instead, he looks more and more like a clown who can't bear to be lonely.
He glared at Flanders and angrily said, "Flanders! What are you talking about?!"
Liu Erlong's face was full of surprise. Although she was in love and admired Yu Xiaogang infinitely in her heart, from Flanders' description, it was difficult for her to speak to Yu Xiaogang.
Yu Xiaogang had no choice but to flatter himself and continued, "It's like this..."
Flanders drank alone and his face twitched from time to time when he heard Yu Xiaogang's version of the experience. My goodness, this old guy is really shameless!
No wonder he could win Erlong’s heart. If I were to brag like him, would Erlong also fall in love with me?
After Yu Xiaogang finished speaking, Liu Erlong believed it completely and looked at him with heartache.
"Xiao Gang, I didn't expect you to suffer so much injustice. It's really fate. If it weren't for the coincidence and the woman Bibi Dong's harm to you, you would have ended up like Master Latio..."
"Puff...!!!" Flanders couldn't help but spit out all the wine in his mouth.
He sprayed Yu Xiaogang on the opposite side in the face.
"Hahaha……!"
Flanders slapped the table and laughed.
Liu Erlong stared at Flanders in dissatisfaction, "What's so funny?!"
Flanders wiped his mouth and said, "Nothing, nothing..."
Yu Xiaogang did not bother with Flanders. He also knew that it was understandable that some of the parts that glorified himself made Flanders laugh. It would be bad if he questioned Flanders and exposed himself.
Liu Erlong continued: "It's a pity that the Scholars Alliance doesn't even know who the real master is!"
"Not only did he suppress Xiaogang's talent, but he would rather push a child out than let Xiaogang succeed? Is that Ning Fengzhi? Let's go find him and settle the score! He even said he respected Xiaogang!"
Liu Erlong slammed the table angrily, stood up, and was about to turn around to settle the score with Ning Fengzhi.
Flanders and Yu Xiaogang hurriedly grabbed Liu Erlong.
You're going to settle the score with Ning Fengzhi. Do you really not know how to write the word death?
Besides, it’s not like Flanders hadn’t read the reply from the Scholars’ Alliance. It was obvious that Yu Xiaogang’s paper was completely nonsense, so it was normal for it to be returned.
What's more, Yu Xiaogang used a pseudonym when submitting his articles, so no one knew that it was Yu Xiaogang who submitted the article.
"Erlong, don't worry. Jixiang will hold an impromptu lecture tomorrow. I will then publicly raise doubts and prove my theory!" Yu Xiaogang said proudly, looking up his head.
Liu Erlong looked at Yu Xiaogang, her eyes filled with heartache.
"Xiaogang, I'm really sorry for you..."
The next day.
Academic Building.
In the large conference room on the first floor, Jixiang began to hold a lecture. This lecture was added at the last minute and the standard was not high, but thousands of people still came. Flanders and the other two were in the audience.
At the beginning, Jixiang made his appearance and bowed, then apologized.
He said that the theory he published still had problems and needed further thinking and improvement.
Then he said he would figure out the key to the problem in a short time.
In short, this is a public apology. Not only this lecture, the Scholars Alliance also issued a notice, pointing out the flaws of the auspicious version of the core magic circle.
Because Jixiang was just a teenager, he took the initiative to admit his mistake, and no losses were caused.
Although the core magic circle has many disadvantages, it is not unusable, so not many people really blame Jixiang.
He even maintains his level as a researcher, hoping that he can figure it out as soon as possible.
Jixiang cried on the stage, he was very moved.
Below the stage, Yu Xiaogang was so angry that his face turned red. He was about to publicly give Jixiang a fatal blow, but Jixiang actually admitted his mistake first!
Moreover, these people were not as aggressive as they were towards themselves, but instead forgave Jixiang?
This almost made Yu Xiaogang explode with anger!
Liu Erlong sighed, "This boy looks very honest, it's definitely not his fault. And he also found the problem, Xiaogang, don't bother with him."
Flanders nodded slightly and said, "It is the greatest virtue to admit one's mistakes and correct them."
“……” Yu Xiaogang gritted his teeth and his chest trembled violently.
forgive?
This is not a question of forgiveness or not.
Instead, he has to rely on stepping on Jixiang to get to the top!
Now that Jixiang has become obedient, what other leverage can he get?
"No...it's not over yet, Erlong, you have to help me..."
Yu Xiaogang said through gritted teeth.
……
At the end of the lecture, Jixiang still had tears in his eyes.
After all, he was still a teenager, and he felt that he had caused a big mess and was filled with guilt.
He didn't expect that those people still had high hopes for him, which made him feel even more guilty.
Ning Fengzhi patted his shoulder and took him back to his room, comforting him: "Jixiang, if you really feel bad, just research the real ratio as soon as possible. This is the best time for scholars..."
Jixiang nodded vigorously. He only slept two or three hours these days just to find out the truth as soon as possible.
"Squeak..."
The two pushed the door open and entered.
In the room, Latio was sitting at the table writing something.
Seeing that Saint Master Latio had come again, Jixiang suddenly became excited.
Now, he knew more about the achievements of Saint Master Latio, and his respect for him became even stronger.
"Master Latio, you are here..."
Latio waved at him and said simply, "Come here and sit down."
Jixiang quickly sat opposite Latio, like a student.
"Any doubts?" Latio asked.
"Yes, when I was studying the proportions of metal materials..."
Jixiang began to speak out the problem quickly.
In fact, the current problem is very simple, that is, what are the materials for writing inscriptions? How can we make the inscriptions have a long-lasting effect?
What else can be added besides metal powder?
Latio listened patiently and then began to comb Jixiang's hair.
In fact, Jixiang is now stuck in a dead end. What he should do most is to relax instead of thinking too much.
After the end, Latio used Phase Fire to leave in auspicious gratitude.
……
The scene changed and Latio returned to the laboratory.
In the laboratory, Xiaobai was sleeping soundly on the table.
Sensing his presence, she immediately woke up and sat up, looking at Latio with curious eyes.
"Friend! Oh no, it's Saint Master Latio, you're finally back! Do you know how many times I've come to see you?" Xiaobai couldn't help but complain in his tone.
"Hmm?" Latio asked in confusion.
"Saint Master Latio, you really deceived me so badly! Humph..." Xiaobai circled around Latio with a depressed look on his face.
"What did I lie to you about?"
Latio asked.
"You never told me that you were the Holy Master of Latio!" Xiaobai pretended to be angry.
If it were someone else, they would probably be secretly happy now. What a blessing it is to be friends with Master Latio!
Latio said: "I have never denied my identity."
"..."
Xiaobai was stunned. That was right. Latio had never lied to him before.
And normally, since we meet Latio here, we can definitely guess that he is the Holy Master of Latio.
Xiao Bai grumbled and snorted, "It was my fault, okay..."
Latio hummed, looked up and down at Xiaobai, and then said: "Do you feel the change in soul power?"
Xiao Bai nodded and replied, "Yes! I felt it. I later found out that what you threw into my stomach was actually a divine seat! By the way, our high priest asked you if you need anything else..."
"No need." Latio raised his hand and placed it on Xiaobai's belly.
Xiao Bai's face turned red, but she didn't dodge. She snorted, "Although I'm a soul beast and don't care about these things, you also know that I'm a woman..."
The next second, Latio withdrew his palm and a ball of red light came out.
A trace of pain appeared on Xiaobai's face. "Hiss, it hurts a little..."
Latio said: "I'm sorry, because it has begun to merge with your soul."
Latio placed his other hand on Xiaobai's shoulder and began to soothe her pain.
Soon, the color returned to the little white man's face. He looked at the throne in Latio's hand and said, "So this is the throne they wanted. It doesn't look anything special..."
Latio observed the changes in the God's Position and Xiaobai, and from these changes, he mastered a new theory.
"The origin of soul power... maybe, I can start practicing now." (End of this chapter)
