Chapter 985: Chapter 983 Dust to Dust Chapter 985: Chapter 983 Dust to Dust “Kaldora joined the Academy almost at the same time as I did, and without a doubt, she was a young woman with astonishing talent and boundless potential,”
Ignoring Luo Bu on the ground, Cass was obviously lost in some long-distant memory.

“And her talent was duly recognized. During an important operation at the Academy, she was chosen to participate in the team and ultimately brought back a harvest beyond imagination.”

“It seemed to be a kind of contamination; she didn’t even know how she was affected, but most importantly, this contamination gradually granted her Divinity.”

“In addition to that, any potions, even Transcendent limbs, could be absorbed and fused into her body without any rejection.”

“Of course, the cost was that her very existence, both mentally and physically, was blending and dissipating, slowly turning into an unconscious mass of flesh.”

“Kaldora’s sanity was quickly compromised, but with her strong will, she managed to escape after exhausting all her resources and, with her last coherent consciousness, refused our attempts to treat her.”

“She believed that the extent of her contamination was irreversible and ultimately requested that we dissect her, cultivate, test, and explore the origins of this Divinity.”

“You must realize that the step from Middle Tier to Demigod has always been a chasm, vexing countless Transcendents; and Kaldora believed this contamination offered an incomparable value for this step.”

“Her desperate return was to bring this sample to us, and in the end, I respected her wishes.”

After reminiscing about the past, Cass looked at Fu Qian.

“The current Kaldora has achieved an absolute Demigod Ranking and continues to exist in this form. Any instructor at the Academy who meets the requirements can apply to use her for testing, and of course, you can too.”

A sample immune to rejection from all Transcendent categories?

That sounds like the godsend of the Rebirth Club!

Fu Qian nodded silently, while feeling a sense of wonder inside.

“Is this strange thing, the accident you mentioned?”

Earlier, Cass had referred to a mission where the Academy’s elite suffered heavy losses.

“I can’t answer that question for you.”

As expected, Cass declined his question, and just then, a pained groan also rose from a charred figure on the ground.

“They unfold traces resembling patterns of Divinity.”

Supporting himself with one hand, Luo Bu struggled to sit up, not forgetting to analyze their recent situation.

“One must be vigilant at all times!”

The purification Cass had just performed was clearly measured, not intent on dispatching Luo Bu directly.

As Luo Bu spoke, he began clearing the char marks on his body, though the severed arm and the large wound in his abdomen still seemed very serious.

“Go get treated, and avoid dealing with this kind of thing for a while.”

Cass’s tone wasn’t very severe, and it didn’t seem like he intended to hold Luo Bu accountable.

“I will arrange for someone to keep an eye on it for you.”

“Alright.”

As for how Cass was handling it, Luo Bu, naturally, had no objections and staggered up to leave.

“Don’t be nervous; this doesn’t happen often.”

As he watched Luo Bu leave, Cass gestured for Fu Qian to follow him and explained as they walked.

“How could it be, I only sensed a rich academic atmosphere.”

Fu Qian assured that this was not an issue at all, and indeed, he meant it.

Presently, the refreshing scent that had filled the building due to Luo Bu’s “purification” was swiftly dissipating, replaced by a smell that was hard to describe.

Heh heh heh!

Cass seemed to have expected Fu Qian to react this way.

“Welcome aboard.”

…

What a fruitful day it has been, truly a mix of entertainment and learning!

After touring the laboratory and learning about the history of the Academy, and since Cass clearly still had to deal with the problems caused by the troubled instructor, Fu Qian did not further trouble him to play tour guide and decided to say goodbye and go rest.

Of course, by “going back,” Fu Qian meant going to Lanaia’s place.

It wasn’t that he necessarily wanted to torment his superior; mainly, he had no idea where he was currently living.

And upon reaching Lanaia’s residence, she was, as expected, not yet back.

Not surprising, since Veron and Ni Huayuan probably had more tumult to deal with.

And Lanaia, obviously confident in the Academy’s atmosphere, had not arranged any special protection. With his master-level lock-picking skills, it took Fu Qian less than half a minute to return to his room.

Even on the way, he had already thought about how to explain himself if Lanaia came back — It seemed inappropriate to receive special treatment as one of the heroes who saved the Academy, before everything was clear, so I decided to continue my self-imposed confinement.

An excellent sense of self-discipline, one might say!

Once back in his room, Fu Qian didn’t rush to rest. The whole day had been smooth sailing, and not too taxing.

In the dark, Fu Qian sat on a chair, closed his eyes to feel for any lingering effects of his recent ordeal, and upon confirming that they were almost completely gone, he quietly activated the Return Edict.

That Demigod Kaldora was undoubtedly a legendary figure, both because of the contamination she suffered and the way she dealt with it.

To return, struggling through so much, just so her colleagues could use her as research material and increase the chances of peering into the mysteries of the Divine Beings.

She was truly fierce; now he somewhat understood the slightly mad attitude of those from the Heaven’s Commencement Institute.

Behind every unknown, there may lie a profound trail of blood and flesh.

Speaking of which, the ideas of Professor Luo Bu, although nearly causing an experimental accident, were quite interesting, and could be followed up on later.

And that incident which wiped out the Academy’s elite squad.

Overall, this permanent professorship he held offered plenty of things to do; of course, now the timing seemed about right!

Cutting off his train of thought, Fu Qian gauged the situation and then removed the Emissary’s Mask.

The night was deep, and while a new week had just started, he wouldn’t be forced to go on a mission at midnight tonight, but under the influence of such a positive environment at the Academy, Fu Qian felt inspired to be proactive.

[Identity verification complete, work for today begins]
The familiar warehouse and prompt appeared almost simultaneously.

[Warning, containment breach]
Of course, the leak arrived as scheduled.

[Name: Dust to Dust, Code: 3-1041]
[Today’s work content has been updated, please enter Containment Scenario 3-1041, and complete recontainment]
A code starting with 3? That suggests rather large fluctuations in intensity; could this be the warehouse’s subtle reminder to balance work and relaxation?

Too bad, Fu Qian thought, if it were the past, he might make such speculations, but having seen the history of employee benefits transformations, he didn’t hold out much hope for the warehouse’s integrity.
