Time passed day by day.

With the announcement of the fourth season of the elite list of first-year students, the promotion assessment is coming to an end, and there are constantly first- and second-year students returning from the front line of the war.

The academy is also becoming lively.

More importantly, the graduation assessment of the third-year students is about to begin.

"Lei Luo, junior brother!"

As soon as Bai Ling got home, he shouted excitedly in the hall on the first floor, full of energy and radiant.

It seems that after the final preparation of this time, she is full of confidence in the graduation assessment.

Meanwhile.

Inside the laboratory on the third floor.

At this moment, Lei Luo is worried about the academic experimental research of "Atavistic Clone"!

Tutor Gu Bo selflessly taught himself the academic mystery of "Atavistic Clone", and even told himself some cutting-edge experimental data, and tried his best to find a kind of protoancient bloodline from "Atavistic Clone" that may have some inhibitory effect on the cursed true body.

Coincidentally, the demonic fire talent of this bloodline is a kind of spiritual fire, which has a good protective effect on spiritual consciousness.

In the future, as long as Lei Luo continues to study "Atavistic Clone" in depth and strengthen the talent of this ancient bloodline, he can suppress the negative impact of the cursed true body to a certain extent, so as to turn the cursed true body into an acceptable true body ability.

However!

This is in conflict with Lei Luo's own insistence on the "Heliocentric Theory" starry sky academics!

It's completely different from Lei Luo's vision.

"Aavistic Clone" is not a small academic field under the evolutionary mystery, but a huge branch of academic theory in the development period!

Whether it is "heliocentrism" or "atavistic clone", it is an extremely large and complex academic field.

It is so huge that even the most outstanding and great scholars need to build an exclusive experimental research institute through huge resources, and unite many other scholars to summarize the experimental data one by one, so as to open up the vast power of it.

It requires a scholar to exhaust his life's energy, pursue with eternal perseverance, and constantly forge ahead, so that he can have a chance to go to the forefront of the truth of the times, become a royal academician, and be admired by thousands of people.

But the energy of the individual is limited.

It is impossible for one to be all-encompassing and to be the ultimate in all fields.

Lei Luo is well aware of the limits of his wisdom and energy, so between "Heliocentrism" and "Atavistic Clone", Lei Luo must give up one and persevere to forge ahead with the other truth.

Only in this way can Lei Luo go higher and farther on the road of scholars.

This truth, with Lei Luo's continuous in-depth study of "Atavistic Clone", has become more and more felt.

During this time, Gu Bo's mentor even intended to let him join the atavistic cloning laboratory as an experimental assistant, which was obviously a manifestation of Gu Bo's considerable expectations for himself, and he intended to train himself as an academic inheritor.

If Lei Luo can seize the opportunity and inherit the mantle of Gubo, he will inevitably enjoy the shade of this tree on the road of academic research in the future, and he will no longer have to worry about many things, maybe a hundred years later, he will also be mixed with the honorary earl title of the Duchy or something, and complete the status that many scholars cannot achieve in their lifetime.

But!

Every time he thinks of his father who died of ignorance because of bloodletting, every time he thinks of the cardinal master who burned books and mocks his tone, and every time he thinks of the pioneer of Bai Nivens who insisted on the truth of "Heliocentrism" 800 years ago in order to light the fire of truth and reason, Lei Luo is a little unwilling.

And as time went on, this reluctance became more and more intense.

And Lei Luo has already initially experienced the greatness of Star Academics.

Although "Atavistic Clone" will make it smooth sailing and let me experience fewer ups and downs, it will not allow me to realize the value of life and get a sense of personal satisfaction.

Perhaps, in Gubo's view, "Atavistic Clone" is just an auxiliary means to exert his alchemical talent?

But in Lei Luo's opinion, the alchemy of the star core is just an auxiliary means to open up the truth of the universe of the "Heliocentric Theory"!

It is precisely because of all the worries in his heart that in recent days, Lei Luo's research interest in "Atavistic Clone" has also faded day by day, which has seriously affected his starry sky academic research.

You have to make a choice!

"Huh?"

Hearing the familiar cry downstairs, Lei Luo in the gloom suddenly brightened his eyebrows.

"Senior Sister Bailing?"

Hurriedly finished his experimental research that lacked interest, Lei Luo ran downstairs and looked at the familiar white-clothed figure who was stroking Jia Hei, who else could it be if it wasn't Bai Ling?

"Senior brother, I haven't seen you for a long time, do you miss my senior sister?"

"Senior sister, why are you back?"

Naturally cordial, Lei Luo has become accustomed to the selfless pampering of this senior sister, and his words are illogical.

This is Bailing's home, and of course it's normal to come back whenever you want.

"Look at what you said, of course, I came to see you, my mother, and Senior Brother Shadhara, well, and then take the graduation examination and get a natural scholar degree certificate, otherwise can I come back to see the old man who chatters all day?"

After stroking two more handfuls of gahei, Bai Ling raised his eyebrows and said, "Where is Senior Brother Shadra?"

"It's been a long time since I left the academy, and I heard that I was going to go to the Aurora Bright Empire, and I don't know how long it will take. ”

"Oh. ”

Pouting, Bai Ling grinned again in a blink of an eye.

"Forget it, hehe, didn't you go to the front line of the fortress? As soon as I entered the gate and said that you were upstairs, I couldn't believe it, aren't you particularly afraid of that old guy, come back so early, I'm not afraid that he will give you a look after the elite list results come out, I can think of what he is going to say, it must be, well, your senior brother was ...... at the beginning."

I was amused by Bailing's light-hearted humor.

But there was a bit of heaviness in the depths of this smile.

There is no doubt that during this period of time, Tutor Gubo has changed very obviously in himself, and he can clearly sense Tutor Gubo's expectations.

But.

It is precisely because of this ardent expectation that I have been firmly determined in my heart to study the truth of the "heliocentric theory", but I don't know how to tell my mentor to break this beauty and reject his expectations.

......

Night.

Ripples prepared a sumptuous dinner.

Like a lively elf, Bai Ling chattered non-stop, and Ripple looked at his daughter with a satisfied smile.

But.

As Gu Bo personally served a plate of medium-rare steak to Lei Luo, Bai Ling, who was chattering and laughing, suddenly stopped talking, his eyes widened, like a ghost, and kept looking at Gu Bo and Lei Luo, with an incredulous expression.

Gubo was completely unaware of this, and after cutting a piece of beef from his plate, he nodded in satisfaction.

"Good steak today. ”

Ripple sensed Bai Ling's astonishment, and whispered with a smile in his ear.

Bai Ling's mouth suddenly opened wide, almost stuffing a goose egg, and looked at Lei Luo in disbelief, but it seemed that because of the ripples' advice, he didn't say anything.

......

Late at night.

On the roof of the third floor, inside the astrology hut.

Lei Luo observes the moon day after day, and only in this short time can Lei Luo leave all his worries behind and find true peace in his heart.

Before he knew it, Lei Luo was completely immersed in it, ignoring everything around him.

The starry sky of the universe is so vast.

But he is so small.

"Today I have applied to the Academy, and you can join the atavistic cloning laboratory as my experimental assistant through a special identification certificate, and freely enter and exit the Royal Academy of Science in the inner courtyard. ”

The abrupt voice behind him brought Lei Luo back to reality.

Join the atavistic cloning lab?

Lei Luo knew that things couldn't drag on any longer.

I have to make a final decision!

"Mentor. ”

"Huh?"

Gubo was accustomed to Lei Luo's calm and low-key, as well as his fear and respect for himself.

Accustomed to Lei Luo's seemingly ordinary appearance, the delicate and decisive in his heart, as well as the talent and wisdom that are not easy to find, he worked silently for some persistence.

A proud smile emerged.

Gu Bo sat down next to Lei Luo, thinking that Lei Luo was afraid of causing trouble for himself, and comforted: "You don't have to worry that you can't be qualified for this assistant position, for the teacher to believe in your wisdom, in fact, studying "Atavistic Clone" will not only help you make a breakthrough in the study of evolutionary mysteries, but also fulfill one of your wishes as a teacher." ”

He shook his head and sighed.

"Wushuang because of the family inheritance, has its own academic persistence, Shadhara and Bailing can't be counted on at all, my soul life is not much, in case I don't complete the final breakthrough, I'm afraid it's been these twenty or thirty years, before he dies, he always has to pass on the "Atavistic Clone", I didn't expect you kid to wake up, hum, it's cheap for you. ”

In the end, Gubo turned from a sigh to a smile.

Twenty or thirty years?

When Lei Luo came to his lips, he didn't know how to continue, so he had to continue astrology to hide the chaos in his heart.

After a while.

Gu Bo, who was in black and white striped pajamas, stretched and yawned, "Rest early, and come with me to the laboratory tomorrow." ”

"Mentor !!"

Lei Luo couldn't hold back his inner struggle anymore, and he was a little broken.

Gu Bo was slightly stunned, frowning and looking at Lei Luo.

Lei Luo was afraid that after tonight, he would never have the courage to face Gu Bo and say his inner choice.

"Mentor, once here, it was you who made me see the vast starry sky, realize the infinite greatness of the universe, and strengthen the truth of the heliocentric theory. ”

Lei Luo raised his head, his eyes were hazy, and they were tears of apology.

"I'm sorry, mentor, I can't fulfill your expectations, focus on the "Atavistic Clone" academic, I want to study the "Heliocentrism" starry sky academic! I want to break the ignorance of faith in this world, so that all scholars in the future can maintain their due dignity and live! I want to get out of this so-called box and go to other astral worlds to see !!"

The roar of shouts echoed in the silent night sky.

"I have lived up to your expectations, I cannot inherit your knowledge of the Aavistic Clone, let alone carry it forward!"

Gu Bo was stunned, looking at Lei Luo with a sneer, looking at this disciple who had ignited his hope, and at his struggling and roaring apologetic tearful face.

He never thought that this disciple, who had been despised by himself, would refuse to accept his mantle inheritance and cultivation.

This apology even made Gubo feel ashamed.

The shame of shamelessness.

He has walked out of his own path of truth, and has to fight for it all his life, and he no longer needs his atavistic clone academic research, but has become a redundant burden.

In the astrological room, there was silence for a long time.

"No, it's the price I paid for my arrogance. ”

Lonely and muffled, Gubo turned to leave.
