Teacher Tianshui, always so gentle like water, makes it hard for anyone to get angry with her.

Every time he communicates with her, Lin Tianming always feels like he's about to be melted by her gentleness.

"So that's it for today, Brother Tian, you need to heal well and also do your best in the upcoming competition, your Teacher Jiang Han would definitely hope you can win, don't let her down!"

"Yes, we'll talk again next time, Teacher Tianshui, make sure to notify me before you become a God!"

After finishing the conversation with Lin Tianming, Tianshui reflected on their extensive exchange and felt a deep warmth in her heart.

"I should set off too, to let Brother Tianming witness that I can become a God before the opportunity arises, I must try harder to find more opportunities!"

She muttered to herself, inspired by Lin Tianming, and then left her residence.

...

After resting for two days, Lin Tianming, now fully recovered, received an invitation from Alice.

Today was the day of her successful advancement to the top eight, and right after the match, she pulled Lin Tianming out to hang out.

Lin Tianming didn't refuse, he also wanted to take the opportunity to experience the customs of Heavenly City with her, a local.

"Ming, this is our Heavenly City's Freedom Square, and also one of the famous attractions of the Beiyin Domain Heavenly City, let's have fun here today!"

Today, Alice brought Lin Tianming out not only because she wanted to relax.

She also wanted to try and change the somewhat unfriendly image of Beiyin Domain in Lin Tianming's mind through her efforts.

The Beiyin Domain also has lovely people and things, not everything is as dark as the Beiyin Domain officials portray.

Learning from the last encounter on Freedom Street where they continuously faced the dark side of Beiyin Domain, this time Alice chose Freedom Square directly.

With her, looking like a silver-haired elf, guiding him, Lin Tianming indeed had a lot of fun today.

He also knew she always wanted him to change his views on Beiyin Domain.

In fact, Lin Tianming felt she didn't need to do this.

His dislike of Beiyin Domain was limited to those Beiyin Domain officials who made things difficult for him.

Just as in Jiuzhou, Lin Tianming felt a disgust towards Teacher Jiang Han's Thunder Hall.

But that disgust is solely towards those stubborn Elders of Thunder Hall.

Lin Tianming has always been clear about grievances, not involving innocent people.

Yet, he wouldn't tell Alice this.

Seeing her trying so hard to show the brighter side, the best response Lin Tianming could give was to thoroughly enjoy the time spent with her.

This way, she would also feel that he was generally friendly towards most people in Beiyin Domain.

Unknowingly, Lin Tianming had once again enjoyed the pleasure of Freedom Square under the energetic company of Alice.

On the way back, Alice couldn't help but ask Lin Tianming.

"How about it, Ming, did you have fun today?"

Met with Alice's sunny, beautiful smile, Lin Tianming also affirmed her.

"Yep, the Freedom Square is indeed fun, thank you, Alice. Without you as a guide, I wouldn't have known how to find the fun places!"

[Great! Today was a success, Ming seems to really like it here!]

[In order to possibly change his view of Beiyin Domain and put down any hostility, it was tough!]

[But efforts will always pay off, at least letting him see that there are so many lovely people and things in Beiyin Domain, not everything is as dark as the high officials of Beiyin Domain!]

Alice's happy emotions, upon getting Lin Tianming's approval, were clearly written all over her face, impossible to hide.

Seeing her consistently thinking about these issues, Lin Tianming also felt Alice was not having an easy time.

To defend the image of Beiyin Domain, she was really putting in a lot of effort!

But it is precisely because of her efforts, Lin Tianming knew there must be more people like her in Beiyin Domain.

A completely dirty and ugly environment could not produce an adorable, sunny elf like Alice.

Because of people like her, Beiyin Domain would not collapse so quickly.

But the huge crises and contradictions lurking behind Beiyin Domain were undeniable.

If there was a threat to him and the people around him, Lin Tianming would definitely still stand against Beiyin Domain.

[Now, I just need to make sure nothing happens on the way back, and then today's task of showcasing the beautiful side of Beiyin Domain to Ming will be perfectly completed!]

Alice thought this happily as she headed back to the competition venue with Lin Tianming.

However, as she and Lin Tianming just turned the corner into the next street, what was happening ahead instantly froze her smile.

"Save... save me... I... I am being chased by people of the Genetic Sect... I am not a bad person... please... save me!"

Under the gaze of Lin Tianming and Alice, a man emitting Demonic Qi was stumbling towards them.

Although the man was calling for help, Lin Tianming still felt alert at his first sight of the man.

"Is this a Demon possessed by Demon or a follower of Deceit God?"

Listening to Lin Tianming's question, Alice was also confused about the situation of the person in front of her.

"I... I'm not sure either... It's so strange... There's no trace of Superpower Awakened energy on him... How could he have so much Demonic Qi on him?"

Seeing that Alice was also unclear about the situation, Lin Tianming started to analyze with a frown.

"Could it be that he encountered a Demon or a Demon-possessed person and got infected by the Demonic Qi accidentally?"

During Lin Tianming and Alice's conversation, the man shrouded in Demonic Qi also rushed towards them frantically, his face full of terror.

"It's possible, he seems to be a normal person... But we shouldn't rule out that he might be using some special means to make us lower our guard. We better be careful!"

As they spoke, Lin Tianming and Alice quickly dodged to either side, avoiding the man's charge.

"Please… save me... I... I'm not a Demon... I'm not a monster... it's them... they captured me for experiments... really... I... I'm going mad... I feel something invading my mind... driving me insane!"

The man didn't hit Lin Tianming or Alice and fell to the ground.

Immediately after, his shoulders began to grotesquely mutate, swelling up with tumorous growths.

"Quick… save me... they... it's the devils from the Genetic Sect... I heard them say... they injected me with the Demon Gene... it's all their fault that I turned out this way!"

Hearing the important information from the man with the mutating swelling shoulders, both Lin Tianming and Alice were shocked.

The Genetic Sect actually injected ordinary people with the Demon Gene?

"How... how is this possible? Have the guys from the Genetic Sect gone mad enough to do such a thing? Injecting Demon Gene into humans is an explicitly forbidden evil experiment!"

Alice still couldn't believe the Genetic Sect could be so ruthless.

However, before she could ask for more useful information, the man injected with the Demon Gene entered an irreversible state.

The tumorous growths on his shoulders, with no fixed swelling shape, continued to expand and split into more tumors.

The growing bulges began to compress the man's head.

Just within moments, the man was killed by the massive tumors swelling from his shoulders as they burst.

Seeing this, Lin Tianming sighed with a complex expression.

"An ordinary person infected with Demonic Qi and mutating, if they can't disperse the Demonic Qi in time, or control this power like Deceit God believers, there are only two paths left.

Either become a mindless mutated monster no different from a Demon, or die in extreme distortion and terror, which for him, might rather be a form of release."

Alice also looked at the dead body with a complex expression.

She hesitated for a moment, but couldn't help asking Lin Tianming in a low voice.

"Ming... do you… do you think what he said is true? Was he… really injected with the Demon Gene by the Genetic Sect?"

With no solid evidence, Lin Tianming couldn't answer Alice's question.

Just as he was about to speak, three strong Superpower Awakened rushed into the secluded, deserted street.

Seeing these three individuals, Lin Tianming and Alice, recognizing their outfits, realized they were from the Genetic Sect.

These three members of the Genetic Sect quickly got to the man's body, conducting various checks to confirm his identity.

After a moment, one of them immediately contacted their upper management on the spot.

"Discovered experiment number three has failed, status deceased, there are two witnesses nearby, please instruct."

"Bring them back as specimens, kill them if they resist!"

"Yes!"

The communication ended, the three members of the Genetic Sect looked towards Lin Tianming and Alice with ominous expressions.

However, they didn't expect Lin Tianming and Alice to be fearless, especially Alice, who looked at them with a cold gaze filled with disgust.

She directly questioned the three Genetic Sect members: "Did you inject this man's body with the Demon Gene?"

Upon hearing this, all three Genetic Sect members' expressions changed.

"Did this dead waste tell you that?"

As one of them retorted, Lin Tianming's expression turned cold.

"Alice, it seems I don't need to answer you anymore, these three people from the Genetic Sect have already given you the most accurate answer!"

At that moment, Alice felt a surging rage.

She had just held hope for the Genetic Sect.

Thinking that it was probably a plot by the Deceit God Organization or Demons, the Genetic Sect shouldn't be conducting experiments on ordinary people using the Demon Gene.

Now, with the truth laid bare before her, it proved how naive she had been, to believe such ruthless beings!

Today, her plan to show Lin Tianming the better side of the Beiyin Domain was about to be successfully completed.

Yet it was ruined by these scoundrels!

She dared not think deeper about how much Ming despised them in the Beiyin Domain now…

The more she thought about it, the angrier Alice became, her eyes flashing with a blood-red light.

"To use ordinary people for Demon Gene experiments, you guys are truly despicable… you… truly deserve to die!"
