Five days later.
Tiger Soul Research Institute Headquarters.
3:00 p.m.
A bus bearing the Star City Academy emblem slowly pulled up outside the gates of Tiger Soul Base.
As the doors opened, Feng Qi, Lin Ran, and the other students got off.
It was not easy to apply for visiting access to the Tiger Soul Research Institute.
Every year, major cultivation method classes submitted applications in large numbers, but very few were actually approved.
After all, the Tiger Soul Research Institute was not a museum. Its purpose was to advance human Cultivation Studies.
But Feng Qi was confident about applying for visiting qualifications at the Tiger Soul Research Institute.
There were three main reasons.
First, he had led the Cultivation Method Class to victory in the Tiger Soul Concept Competition hosted by the Tiger Soul Research Institute.
Second, the Tiger Soul Research Institute had intended to admit him early. He had refused at the time, but not completely.
He was also a recipient of the Outstanding Human Contribution Award, so his application would be taken seriously.
Third, Lin Ran's name was on the visitor list.
Lin Ran held tremendous appeal for the Tiger Soul Research Institute—or rather, for the Nightshadow Clan behind it.
He even suspected that the reason Lin Ran had been admitted early by the Tiger Soul Research Institute because of his talent in Art Method Studies was that the Nightshadow Clan had taken a fancy to that talent.
After all, the Nightshadow Clan's core objective was to use the Tiger Soul Research Institute's resources and talent to create a super art method for their race.
That explanation made perfect sense.
After getting off the bus one after another, Feng Qi looked toward the gates of Tiger Soul Base.
Staff members were already waiting at the entrance.
