Alright, it seems everyone is involved after all.
The brilliant purple light in Xiar's eyes faded, returning to their original color. He smiled slightly, holding Firefly as he stepped out of the alley and merged into the crowd.
Just a moment ago, his badge had vibrated, and Gafiel had instructed him to head to the laboratory to handle a batch of experimental materials.
“Xiar, did you hear? Lord Clark has gone missing!” Peter, with his thick brows and big eyes, leaned in and whispered.
“Oh? When did this happen? Did he go off on some secret mission?” Xiar asked, his expression unchanged as he continued to busy himself with the materials at hand.
“No, according to internal sources, Lord Clark just vanished without a trace, as if he evaporated…”
“You're overthinking it. Lord Clark is a Tier Three Expert, and he possesses an incredibly powerful psychic entity known as Ultimate Form. There are very few people in this world who could pose a threat to him.”
“That’s true…” Peter shook his head, feeling somewhat ridiculous for his worries.
After successfully calming Peter down, Xiar's mind was racing; he wasn't as calm as he appeared on the surface.
As one of the academy's prominent figures, Clark undoubtedly had many affairs waiting for him to address. Now that he was missing, it would surely attract the attention of numerous high-ranking individuals.
It should be noted that he possessed an Enforcer Badge, which allowed him to communicate throughout the entire Atlan region. Under normal circumstances, such a situation where he couldn't be contacted would never occur!
There was only one explanation: something unexpected must have happened that prevented him from contacting the academy's experts!
“Clark might have secretly gone to an uncharted island and possibly didn’t even take his Enforcer Badge with him for fear of being tracked. Moreover, the situation could have been extremely urgent, with two powerful psychic entities facing off against each other, leaving him unable to seek external assistance.”
Xiar speculated quietly, piecing together clues to avoid revealing any slip-ups.
“The materials used to create the Enforcer Badge are unknown; it might have a tracking function similar to smartphones from my past life. If he had it on him, it could very well lead directly to the uncharted island, and those people would definitely consider him a witness.”
Of course, Xiar didn't care much about being seen as a suspect; after all, his displayed combat strength was merely at the Secondary peak level and posed no threat to a Tier Three Expert.
Moreover, no one would believe that a peak Tier Three Expert couldn’t even send out a distress signal; they would just think he was crazy.
However, Xiar had to be cautious, knowing that the academy might possess other Special Totems or Source Artifacts. If they had a similar ability to foresee the future, finding him would be a matter of moments.
During a break, Gafiel suddenly called him aside. After assessing his grasp of knowledge, Gafiel became increasingly satisfied with him.
"Xiar, to be fair, you are the most outstanding student I have ever seen. I hope you can stay and work with me for the sake of knowledge," Gafiel said seriously, looking at him.
"Thank you for the compliment, Teacher. I've thought about it and plan to go back to visit my father to cure his illness. When I come back, I will bring him with me," Xiar replied, crossing his hands and wearing a sincere smile. "Teacher, I really like this city and hope you can continue to teach me."
"That's a great choice." The other person's eyebrows twitched in surprise and delight, but he quickly regained his composure and casually asked, "Xiar, what are your thoughts on Evolved Warriors?"
"Well, I haven't encountered many, so I'll just share my superficial views. Evolved Warriors are a groundbreaking achievement—a reverse initiative that allows ordinary people to embark on the path of Evolution, truly opening up the road to Evolution for humanity..."
Xiar's tone rose as he expressed his opinions, gesturing animatedly. Everything came from the heart; thus, he was a firm supporter of the revised plan.
In his view, Super Evolution was the greatest invention of this era, far surpassing the industrial revolution on Aqua Star.
Because it fundamentally changed humanity's original way of life, enhancing overall strength and ushering in a great era of universal practice in Evolution.
At that time, perhaps Evolved Warriors would become a mandatory course for nine years—everyone would be strong!
"Then what do you think about human cloning technology?"
The other person pressed further, causing Xiar's heart to shudder slightly. With a smile, he replied, "I think it's a good thing."
"Why?"
Facing Gafiel's indifferent gaze, Xiar understood that the other party was likely testing him regarding this top-secret project.
Thoughts flashed through his mind as he recalled knowledge from his past life: "It's simple; human development cannot be separated from cloning technology. For example, if a leg is burned off, healing it requires creating a new leg."
"However, relying on the patient to grow it back slowly is asking too much. Even the most powerful Evolved Warrior, Leslie, cannot achieve that. Therefore, cloning technology must be used to regenerate a complete leg based on the patient's own Bloodline."
"For instance, if a patient's heart or lungs are damaged, cloning technology can also be used to regenerate those organs. The Source Force Transplantation Technique you taught is completely trivial for upcoming transplants."
In the end, Xiar flattered him.
It was evident that the compliment was well-received, as a subtle pride appeared on his face. After all, it was one of his core Three Major Combination Spirit Techniques and a masterpiece he took great pride in.
Then, Gafiel fell silent for a moment, his eyes fixed intently on him. "So, what are your thoughts on the Clone Body?"
The crucial moment had arrived!
This answer would undoubtedly influence how Gafiel evaluated him, ultimately determining whether he would be allowed to participate in this top-secret plan.
"Weapons are not inherently right or wrong; it depends on who wields them. Similarly, cloning technology is the same. If used for a righteous purpose, I fully support it." Xiar did not shy away from Gafiel's gaze and expressed his opinion simply and directly.
"Good. Weapons are not right or wrong, and science is the same; it only matters where it's applied," Gafiel grinned widely, his already large mouth stretching even further.
"Then, let's work together from now on. I'll show you the academy's most core secrets!"
"I won't let you down."
