Bang~

The door was forcefully pushed open, and the sunlight scattered in, illuminating the figure sitting in a red-corded plastic chair with a shine.

Professor Cao was only wearing a pair of loose oversized board shorts, his chest, abdomen, and all the way down to his knees presented an eerie dark gold color.

Doctor Zhang strode in angrily, glaring at him, “Have you lost your mind? Attacking An? Do you have any idea, by doing this, you’re ruining the kid, and you’re destroying yourself as well.”

“Human nature, can it be reclaimed through erosion?”

Professor Cao slowly lifted his head, looking at him with a sneer, “Don’t think I don’t know; right now, you’re just Liu Yuanmou, that bastard, and that bastard is you!”

“When we found that big banyan tree, I could have killed Liu Yuanmou with a single strike. If I hadn’t realized this, knowing that killing him would mean your humanity couldn’t be retrieved, Liu Yuanmou would have been long dead!”

“Just now, when I did that to Liu Yuanmou, you felt it too, didn’t you?”

Doctor Zhang obviously choked, coughing violently.

He was beating his chest uncomfortably, producing a dull thud, “I’ll be damned…”

“I’ll be damned…”

Doctor Zhang sighed, “That lunatic Liu Yuanmou refused to act human, and actually tanned his heart together with mine. We now share one heart, what the hell can I do?”

“He deliberately muddled his self-awareness, not minding that he isn’t himself, just to avoid the Spirit Realm’s call to Sorcerer Zombies. I damn well want to be myself!”

“I’ve told you, once I reclaim my humanity, I will have a way to snatch my heart back from him, no longer under his influence.”

Professor Cao gazed at him darkly, “That’s because of arrogance. You arrogantly think wizards are toys to be played with. You casually experiment with these people. When you grafted your heart onto Liu Yuanmou, while it might have blocked the erosion of your heart by Lu Jiao, it also meant you were abandoning your own soul.”

Doctor Zhang was clearly upset, “What good does it do to talk about this now?”

“Wizards are all mad to begin with, and you’re trying to understand them with common people’s perspective, which is laughable,” Professor Cao’s face was full of mockery.

Annoyed, Doctor Zhang curled his lip and looked Professor Cao up and down, noticing that his body was almost turning dark gold, he couldn’t help but widen his eyes, “Woah~ What’s this thing?”

Professor Cao raised an eyebrow at him, “The Sorcerer’s Bloodline advanced further, the Spiritual Energy Bloodline.”

Doctor Zhang incredulously stepped closer to examine, “Cao! Mr. Cao, have you gone mad? Isn’t this what Mr. Lu’s grandfather was researching? Wasn’t this deemed unfeasible?”

Professor Cao looked deeply at him, stayed silent, and closed his eyes.

“Speak!”

Doctor Zhang looked at him full of curiosity, “What exactly is going on?”

Professor Cao sighed, “This is Lin An’s Spirit Realm Entity’s bloodline, I am eroding his Spirit Realm Entity, accepting its erosion.”

“Showoff~” Doctor Zhang laughed heartily, “Are you off the rails?”

But as he laughed, his brow furrowed again.

“No, you’re not off the rails, you’re doing this deliberately!”

Doctor Zhang’s eyes narrowed, “If you don’t tell me now, I’ll interrupt whatever you’re doing to An right this moment!”

Professor Cao slowly opened his eyes, one eye socket emitting a dark golden light, the other crawling with dense roots.

“Liu Yuanmou’s banyan tree spirit has eroded me.”

Doctor Zhang suddenly leaned back, “You damn well screwed up!”

Professor Cao shook his head, “I’m dying, barely breathing, but I’m not content to let others inherit my research. I want to find the results on my own. ‘Wizard’s Crucible,’ I must completely research it before I die.”

Doctor Zhang curled his lip, “You’re just too proud, always wanting to get one step ahead of Mr. Lu.”

Professor Cao gave a faint smile, not denying it, “I intentionally endured the banyan tree’s erosion to finally have the Sorcerer’s Bloodline, but the regulation of the Antler People is too powerful. This superficial Sorcerer’s Bloodline doesn’t allow me to use witchcraft at all.”

“In the end, I had no choice but to use Mr. Lu’s grandfather’s method, accepting the erosion of the Spirit Realm Entity, to possess a spiritual bloodline.”

“How nice,” Doctor Zhang chuckled, “You’ve become Liu Yuanmou’s son first, and now you’re switching bloodlines to become An’s son. You won’t even have the chance to enter the Purgatory World’s graveyard, only to become a Sorcerer Zombie entering the Spirit Realm.”

He laughed as he spoke, but tears were vaguely present in his eyes.

Professor Cao pursed his lips, letting out a sigh, “I’m just worried that before I take my last breath, I won’t be able to thoroughly research the ‘Wizard’s Crucible’ that could change the Supernatural World.”

“I’m not worried at all about where I’ll go after death. Coming back from the graves of Purgatory World in the future? I’m not interested in that fantasy. It’s better to let me go to the Spirit Realm, perhaps I can kill all those Sorcerer Zombies there, fulfilling the duty of an Antler Person to protect the world.”

“Idiot!”

Doctor Zhang cursed, yet admired this idiot from the bottom of his heart—damn it, he couldn’t bring himself to that extent.

The mixed feelings of love and hatred towards an old friend over the years, and the guilt owed to the younger generation Lin An, can’t be compared.

In the end, Doctor Zhang did not stop Professor Cao, but simply squatted nearby, sighing.

He babbled, “An is such a good kid, I can tell he is very emotional. He truly sees you as his master, and it’s not because you taught him something.”

“Liu Yuanmou taught An more, and with my secret influence, he taught wholeheartedly, even revealing his very foundations to An.”

“But do you think An sees him as his master?”

“He doesn’t, people believe it’s you!”

“Such a good kid. Look at me, insisting on making him my disciple, I didn’t teach much, but he still shows some gratitude and sees me as his master.”

“I, as a master, am incompetent. I cannot protect this kid and let you, the villain, harm him.”

Professor Cao’s gaze turned wooden, scaring Doctor Zhang into silence.

“I didn’t intend to kill him.”

Professor Cao said softly, his eyes narrowing slightly, “A wizard is inherently mad, which is the effect of amplified emotions and also the source of a wizard’s power. He suppresses his heart too much, leading to an unsmooth path as a wizard, and the emotional power can’t support the demand for a stronger ‘Wizard’s Furnace’.”

“I had to push him.”

Doctor Zhang let out a fake laugh, “Wow, impressive, this way of pushing, if you can’t learn then you die, huh?”

“…”

Silence, the room suddenly fell silent.

Ultimately, Professor Cao’s voice was distant, “If he can’t learn, I won’t kill him, but if he still can’t break through to the realm he’s supposed to reach after being pushed, then he can stay stuck there for life. But if that’s the case, we really can’t count on him for the ‘Wizard’s Crucible’ research.”

Doctor Zhang rolled his eyes, “You blockhead, you’re still so thick even though you’re old!”

Boom!

The house shattered, cement chunks and window glass flew everywhere as Doctor Zhang was ejected from Professor Cao’s room with immense force.

“All this nagging, it’s so annoying!”

Professor Cao pursed his lips and closed his eyes again.

…

…

Lin An was truly desperate, the Mind Balance Curse not only affecting him and Mr. Cao, but also emerging under the feet of every one of his subordinates.

Still, it wasn’t in vain, his past efforts hadn’t been wasted; whether as subordinates or students, these people had all acknowledged him.

Even including the little boss and Chen Shuyun.

He began to mobilize their witchcraft to assist himself.

His current state was extremely poor, due to Mr. Liu’s meddling, the heart of that ‘Land Whale’ witch had linked up with him, eroding his own, spreading in reverse along the ‘Third Furnace: Wizard’s Will’ and ‘Spatial Special Furnace’.

It should have been a minor issue, Lin An had enough means to handle these.

But at this time, Professor Cao had actually activated the Furnace within himself, constructing a Wizard’s Crucible. This did not seem like a good thing, the ill effects of forcing growth, this thing filled with a strong rhythm of Professor Cao, was affecting him as well.

What to do?

What to do!

Neither his own methods nor those of his subordinates seemed capable of changing the situation.

He really started to feel despair.

That air of despair surged within him, quickly ignited into a wild blaze of emotions under the influence of Spiritual Energy, beginning to devour his mind.

His spirit violently stimulated, memories of his past began bursting forth, scene after scene, like a horse racing past flowers.

The extremely tough years as an orphan…

The incredibly dull times as a student because of working to pay tuition without a social life…

Finally completing his education, beginning to realize the joy of fulfilling his life-long dreams.

Back then…

He had bought a house for himself, not big, but enough to provide sanctuary for his spirit.

That home, ah…

It seemed he hadn’t returned there in a long time…

As the images from his memories drew closer, Lin An’s Spirit Intuition led him back into the joyous times after he bought the house.

It was the desire for a home.

No, even the ecstasy and sense of security he felt for finally having a piece of the world completely his own, an unparalleled satisfaction no one could imagine.

That, had always been his desire.

Home!

Lin An’s eyes suddenly brightened; he had found the breakthrough to change the situation!

The Dark Gold Statue in mid-air slowly withdrew its right hand, extending its left hand. The radiance that the left hand was holding, which was about to turn into a coffin, began to twist and deform.

That shape it was forming, looked more like a key.

The key to a home.

The very heart of his own spiritual resting place.

The howling wind shook the forest as the members of organizations who came to investigate finally found Chen Shuyun, all looking towards the figure at the center who seemed to be kneeling on the ground, caressing the earth.

Streams of magma-like light spread from his arms, extending along the ground and weaving through the clouds in the sky.

“What is he doing?” the little boss asked, eyes wide with disbelief.

Goodness gracious, he thought goodness gracious, they say one should regard each other with new eyes after a mere three days of absence, but he’s with Lin An every day, how did this guy become so incredible?

Chen Shuyun watched thoughtfully, “He seems to be subconsciously refining the space of this world?”

“What?” the little boss blinked, “Isn’t this space yours? How is he taking it away? This guy is really bad!”

Chen Shuyun smiled lightly, “Not at all, I told you before I would give it to him to establish the Sorcerer’s Sanctuary.”

“!!”

The little boss felt jealous.

Such an incredible place, not found by sorcerers or Witch-hunting Knights, and you just give it away, donate it to someone just like that?

What virtues and abilities does An have!!!

He’s so handsome, so rich, why has no one given him a space like this?

The little boss looked discontentedly at Chen Shuyun, “Do you know witches who are rich like you? Introduce me to one, will you?”

Chen Shuyun covered her mouth to suppress a giggle, “Sure, there’s my sister, she’s much more powerful than I am. But she likes Lin An too.”

The little boss’s expression fell, then he looked alarmed, “Too?”

“No, no, you heard wrong!” said Chen Shuyun, shaking her hand quickly, “I mean Lin An likes her, you can’t compete with a good brother for a woman, okay?”

The little boss didn’t respond but covered his heart, with an air of being deeply hurt, “Damn! I’m so angry!”
