Inside the research base of Interastral Peace Corporation, a staff member approached the room door, knocked, and said with a hint of sarcasm, " Tang Hao, your free time is up. Given your recent good behavior and lack of escape attempts, the company has decided to increase your daily free time from half an hour to one hour. Enjoy it!"
After finishing his sentence, the staff member turned and left without waiting for Tang Hao's reply.
To be honest, when this former Clear Sky Douluo was first imprisoned, he was far from as well-behaved as he is now.
Back then, Tang Hao, relying on his strength Titled Douluo, didn't take the company's people seriously at all. Every day, he would either insult the staff or shout that the name of Clear Sky Douluo could not be dishonored. He even tried to escape from prison multiple times.
The most dangerous time was when he secretly removed part of the device while the researchers were inspecting the suppressor, forcibly restored his Soul Power, and almost escaped from the research base.
Fortunately, Mr. Welt, Nameless from the Astral Express, happened to be at the company at the time and subdued him in time; otherwise, who knows how much damage would have been caused.
Since that incident, the company has installed a dual suppressor on Tang Hao and reduced his free time to half an hour a day.
Having learned his lesson a few times, Tang Hao has finally become more obedient, and at least recently he hasn't tried to escape again.
Not long after, the door slowly opened.
A middle-aged man in a white hospital gown with messy hair walked out. He had a stubble beard, looked exhausted, and wore heavy Soul Power suppressors on his hands.
This person was none other than Tang Hao, the Clear Sky Douluo who once dominated the continent.
He has long lost his former imposing presence; he looks disheveled and even walks listlessly.
Tang Hao glanced down at the suppressor on his wrist, cursing under his breath, but dared not attempt to remove it again.
He's already suffered enough.
After walking along the corridor of the research base for a while, Tang Hao unknowingly arrived at an experimental area.
This place was much busier than other areas, with many researchers moving equipment and others carrying data back and forth in the corridors.
Tang Hao hadn't originally planned to stop, but as he passed a laboratory, he suddenly noticed the things displayed inside.
Rows of transparent culture devices were neatly arranged on the experimental table, with a small black hammer suspended inside each device.
Those hammers were completely black, with familiar patterns on their heads.
Tang Hao stopped and squinted to take a closer look.
The next moment, his expression changed.
Clear Sky Hammer?
Why do these things look so familiar?
Tang Hao quickly took a few steps closer and observed through the glass.
That's right!
The contents of those cultivation devices are clearly the Clear Sky Hammer Martial Soul!
And there was more than one; an entire row of cultivation devices contained samples of the Clear Sky Hammer's Martial Soul.
Tang Hao was stunned, and for a moment even doubted whether he was seeing things.
Just then, the voices of two staff members talking came from inside the laboratory.
"By the way, how's the recruitment of the second batch of volunteers arranged by Ms. Ruan Mei going? Wasn't it said that volunteers would be selected from both locals in the Douluo Continent and company employees?"
Another staff member replied with a smile, "We recruited them a long time ago! You wouldn't believe how enthusiastically the locals signed up after hearing that participating in the experiment would give them a chance to obtain the Clear Sky Hammer Martial Soul."
"Many Soul Master who already possess Martial Soul also want to try their luck. However, this recruitment mainly targets ordinary people without Martial Soul, so we have to exclude them for now."
The previous employee laughed after hearing this, "What about the company side? I bet quite a few people are interested too, right?"
"Needless to say? As soon as they heard it was a project led by Ms. Ruan Mei, the number of applicants almost crashed the system. Even researchers from other departments wanted to participate. I myself am a little tempted."
As they talked, the two continued to organize the data on the lab table.
However, Tang Hao outside the door was completely stunned.
What did they just say?
Transplanting the Clear Sky Hammer Martial Soul to an ordinary person without Martial Soul?
Tang Hao suddenly looked at the cultivation devices, recalling the events of the past few days.
Since being imprisoned in the research base, researchers have been collecting blood from him every day and occasionally making him release his Martial Soul to record various data.
He originally thought that these people just wanted to study the power of the Clear Sky Hammer or figure out the principle of the Ring Detonation.
But now it seems things aren't what I thought at all!
These guys actually used their own blood to create so many Clear Sky Hammer Martial Soul!
And they even plan to transplant them to those lowly people who don't even have Martial Soul!
Tang Hao could no longer hold back.
You bastards!
He stormed into the laboratory, pointing at the incubation devices and roaring, "Who gave you permission to manufacture the Clear Sky Hammer? This is the Martial Soul passed down through the Clear Sky Sect for many years! How dare you lowly commoners lay a finger on it!"
The two staff members were startled by Tang Hao's sudden entrance.
One of them quickly said, "Mr. Tang Hao, please calm down! This is an important research area; you can't just enter without permission!"
"Shut up!"
Tang Hao was so angry that his eyes turned red, and he wouldn't listen to anything.
"You dare to copy the Clear Sky Sect's inherited Martial Soul while holding my blood! You even want to transplant the Clear Sky Hammer to those useless people without Martial Soul! You are insulting the Clear Sky Sect!"
He reached out and grabbed a testing instrument next to him, then slammed it to the ground.
With a loud bang, the instrument's casing shattered, and parts scattered all over the ground.
You all deserve to die! You all deserve to die!
Tang Hao roared and then overturned the small workbench next to him.
The staff in the lab immediately stepped back, and one of them quickly pressed the alarm button on the wall.
Not long after, several security personnel rushed into the laboratory.
" Tang Hao! Stop the destruction immediately!"
Tang Hao ignored him completely and turned around to continue smashing the cultivation devices.
The two security guards exchanged a glance, then pulled out stun batons from their waists and rushed to Tang Hao's side, stabbing him hard in the waist without any hesitation.
"Sizzle!"
A powerful electric current instantly coursed through his entire body.
"Aaaaaah!"
Tang Hao screamed in agony, his whole body convulsed violently, his legs buckled, and he collapsed to the ground.
Because the dual suppressors restricted his Soul Power, he was unable to mobilize Soul Power to resist and could only curl up on the ground, trembling incessantly.
The security guards kicked him a couple more times, one of them cursing, "You've only been behaving yourself for two days and you're already causing trouble again! You're really something else!"
The other man looked at the fragments of equipment scattered on the ground, frowned, and said, "You've broken so much again. Do you think the company's equipment is free? Take it away, lock it up, and have someone assess the damage later."
Two security guards grabbed Tang Hao from either side and dragged him out of the laboratory.
Tang Hao felt numb all over, his legs dragging on the ground, and he kept muttering curses about the Clear Sky Sect being unworthy of humiliation, but unfortunately, no one was willing to pay attention to him anymore.
This scene was witnessed by three young people not far away.
It is the star of the Astral Express, March 7th, and Dan Heng.
Looking at Tang Hao being dragged away, March 7th couldn't help but ask, "Is this the guy Uncle Yang mentioned before, the one who almost caused serious damage to the company's research base?"
Dan Heng nodded. "It should be him. Uncle Yang said that this person is quite strong, but has a terrible temper. He even dismantled Soul Power suppressor before."
"No wonder those security personnel were so skilled." March 7th shook his head, then turned to Xing, "Hey, Xing, what do you think?"
When she turned around, she saw Xing holding a slice of watermelon, eating it with relish, while holding up her phone in her other hand, recording the direction in which Tang Hao was being dragged away.
March 7th fell silent.
"Hey! You! Why do you have to record even something like this!"
Xing put down her phone and replied matter-of-factly, "It's rare to see such a wonderful scene, of course I have to record it."
"You really are..."
March 7th reached out and patted her forehead, then quickly grabbed her arm.
"Alright, alright, stop recording! Aren't we here to visit Ms. Ruan Mei's experimental creation? If we keep dawdling, she might already be off work!"
Xing then put away her phone, picked up the remaining watermelon, and followed.
Dan Heng glanced at the two of them but didn't say anything more.
The three of them walked down the corridor to another research area, which was responsible for cultivating special life forms. Entry and exit required identity verification.
As soon as they reached the entrance of the culture room, a staff member recognized them.
"Miss Xing, and two other Nameless, may I ask what brings you here?"
March 7th approached with a grin. "Hehe, we heard that Ms. Ruan Mei recently created an egg, apparently made with some kind of dragon bloodline, so we came to see it!"
The staff suddenly realized what was happening.
"So you've come to visit that experimental creation. Please follow me."
He opened the door to the incubation chamber and then reminded them, "However, please note that the creations inside are currently in the incubation stage. Please do not touch the incubation equipment or adjust it without authorization."
"Don't worry, we're just taking a look!" March 7th quickly assured him.
Xing nodded in agreement, but with watermelon still in her mouth, she didn't look very reassuring.
The three entered the incubation room and immediately spotted the egg placed on the central incubation table.
It was a giant egg, entirely golden, much larger than the eggs of ordinary Soul Beast, with fine patterns covering its shell. As the incubation device operated, beams of golden light flowed slowly along the patterns.
Several testing instruments were placed around the egg, and several staff members were recording data on the life activities inside the egg.
On March 7th, I excitedly ran to the culture station and carefully observed it through the transparent protective cover.
Wow, it really is a golden egg! The color is so beautiful!
Xing also came over and took out her phone to take a few pictures of the golden egg.
Dan Heng stood a little further away, carefully examining the constantly flowing golden patterns on the eggshell.
He could vaguely sense that there was some familiar power within the egg.
March 7th walked halfway around the incubation table, then couldn't help but turn around and ask, "By the way, how long has this egg been incubated? Why hasn't it hatched yet?"
The staff member next to him was just about to answer.
Just then, the golden egg on the incubation table suddenly wobbled slightly.
