Chapter 63

After a moment, Chu Lingfeng and Miao Ling had already arrived at the observation room, along with several scientists from the institute, while Su Yang slowly stepped through the open door and entered.

Almost as soon as Su Yang appeared before the giant python, a scene that would be unforgettable for the rest of their lives unfolded in the observation room.

The python, which had been acting as if it were mad, suddenly stopped all its movements. Its enormous head swayed left and right in front of Su Yang, and its massive tail occasionally tapped the ground lightly, appearing unusually calm.

"Professor Chu, did you see that?"

"It's incredible. Since we brought the python here, we've never seen it behave like this."

"If we were to explain it professionally, the python's current behavior is a way of showing friendliness," a snake behavior expert said, sweating profusely and in shock.

"This Mr. Su is truly extraordinary," Chu Lingfeng said sincerely, glancing at Miao Ling.

"I didn't expect this either. I suggested it because I had confidence in him," Miao Ling admitted frankly.

In front of the glass box, Su Yang released his aura without restraint and, without hesitation, crouched down and entered through a small door at the bottom of the box on the left side.

"Ha ha, Black Diamond, it seems your memory is quite good. You recognized me. It's been over eight hundred years, and I've missed you."

The moment Su Yang entered the glass box, all the scientists in the observation room held their breath, watching with bated breath. They were well aware of the python's astonishing destructive power.

If it weren't for hibernation, they would have every reason to believe that unless the entire mountain range was burned to the ground, even a ten-thousand-strong army would not be able to capture it alive.

Black Diamond flicked its tongue, sniffing the familiar scent on Su Yang, appearing extremely excited. Its massive head lowered and moved toward Su Yang.

Seeing this, most of the people in the observation room believed that Su Yang was about to be swallowed by the python.

But in the next moment, the python approached Su Yang and gently rubbed its head against him, as if it were extremely affectionate. Its behavior made it seem more like a pet than a world-class beast.

"My God, this is not scientific!"

"Is this man a beast tamer?"

"Am I dreaming? Pinch me."

"Su Yang, how many more wonders do you have hidden? You're a man who can never be fully understood."

Ignoring the shock of the people in the observation room, Su Yang stroked Black Diamond and then flipped over, mounting its head. Black Diamond let out a low growl, raising its head, appearing extremely excited.

Eight hundred years ago, Su Yang often rode on Black Diamond, traveling the world. Reuniting with its old master, with Black Diamond's intelligence comparable to that of a human, it couldn't help but be incredibly moved.

On a whim, Su Yang tried to communicate with Black Diamond using his mind.

The moment Su Yang released his mental energy, a familiar and warm mental wave immediately converged with it.

"Boss, you've gained the ability to communicate with me. I never thought it would happen," Black Diamond, who had lived for nearly a thousand years and was almost as wise as a demon, said. In many ways, it was even smarter than humans.

This kind of pure mental communication was Su Yang's first experience, and he found it very intriguing. He tried to respond with his mind: "Old buddy, it's been over eight hundred years. I never thought we would meet again in such a place."

"Boss, let me out. I want to eat all the humans who locked me up."

Black Diamond, finding its old master, felt like it had a backing. It shook its head and communicated with Su Yang: "These despicable people took advantage of my transformation to put me in this transparent box. They're all bad, and I want to eat them."

"Old buddy, calm down."

Su Yang patted Black Diamond's head. "Is human flesh really that delicious? You've tasted it before. It's sour. If you want to travel the world with me again, you must behave and not hurt anyone without my permission."

Black Diamond whimpered in a pitiful way, lowering its head. "Boss, I want to eat good things with you. In the years you were gone, I had fewer and fewer opportunities to eat good things."

In Black Diamond's mind, good things were all treasures that people considered invaluable. Back when it followed Su Yang, the spiritual medicines it ate were probably enough to refine another "Limitless Golden Pill." Without the benefits it gained from following Su Yang for over eight hundred years, it wouldn't have grown to its current size, nor would it have lived for nearly a thousand years while still maintaining vigorous vitality.

"Old buddy, you'll be free soon."

Sitting on Black Diamond's head, Su Yang instructed with his mind: "Remember... do this..."

After hearing Su Yang's instructions, Black Diamond was very excited, flicking its tongue. "Boss, can I scare those despicable humans a bit? I promise not to hurt them."

"Scaring them is fine, but don't make too much noise," Su Yang nodded slightly, smiling mischievously.

In the observation room, the snake behavior expert was somewhat skeptical. "To be able to get along so well with such an unknown beast is simply颠覆了我对生物界的认知，而且为什么我觉得苏先生此刻好像正和这头巨蟒进行某种我们所不知晓方式的沟通呢？"

Chu Lingfeng adjusted his glasses and agreed, "Professor Wang, I have the same feeling. What I've seen today has broadened my understanding of science."

"However, I still doubt whether Mr. Su can successfully obtain the python's blood. Professor Chu, don't forget that during the last period of the python's hibernation, we had about ten minutes to collect blood samples, but due to its incredibly tough scales, we failed."

Reminded by the researcher beside him, Chu Lingfeng slapped his forehead in surprise, "I was negligent. I actually forgot such an important thing."

"The hardness of the python's scales is comparable to, or even exceeds, that of tank armor. Without special tools, it's impossible to obtain its blood sample, even if it cooperates."

While everyone was talking, Su Yang had already jumped off Black Diamond's head, stroking its scales, and communicated with his mind, "Old buddy, it will only hurt a little."

In the next moment, Su Yang's palm turned into a blade, and he lightly slashed at the scales. A clear white mark appeared, but it didn't break through the scales.

Black Diamond sent a somewhat proud thought, "Boss, these past eight hundred years haven't been wasted. I'm much stronger than when I followed you."

"You, if you were so capable, you wouldn't have been captured," Su Yang replied with a touch of schadenfreude. A blood glow flashed at the edge of his palm, and with eight-tenths of his power, he finally managed to cut through Black Diamond's scales, and a few drops of blood with a faint golden hue trickled down.

He took out the test container Chu Lingfeng had given him and placed Black Diamond's blood inside.

"Remember, don't hurt anyone when the time comes."

Su Yang reminded Black Diamond one last time, winked at it, and walked toward the small door.

Just before reaching the door, Su Yang subtly pressed his hand against the glass box. Instantly, twenty-seven sharp, blade-like true qi energies spread out in a peculiar oscillation, silently and imperceptibly destroying the silver-titanium reinforced glass box.

When the scene of Su Yang using his palm as a blade to cut through the python's scales and draw blood appeared before the eyes of the scientists in the observation room, almost everyone's eyes were wide open, except for Miao Ling, who managed to remain relatively calm.

A few scientists specializing in human genetics looked at Su Yang with a "fanatical" gaze.

If someone were to ask them at that moment which they wanted more, the python or Su Yang, the answer would definitely be the latter.

Fortunately, Miao Ling's words timely stopped these scientists' unrealistic expectations.

"Mr. Su is a true master of internal martial arts. It's not surprising that he can break through the python's scales with his bare hands. After all, he is a close friend of Elder Zhou and Elder Lu. If he weren't a true master, how could he have such a close relationship with these two founding figures?"

Even the academicians of the Chinese Academy of Sciences, who were deeply engaged in scientific research, had heard of these two national-level figures and naturally didn't dare to think too much. After all, Miao Ling's explanation was reasonable.

When Su Yang came out, Chu Lingfeng rushed over, excitedly taking the container with Black Diamond's blood sample from Su Yang's hand. "Mr. Su, you've done a great favor."

Su Yang calmly replied, "I didn't do it to help you, but to show you that what I told you earlier is true. Soon, you'll realize that it has no research value for you."

After witnessing Su Yang's almost miraculous skills, Chu Lingfeng had to take his earlier words seriously. After a moment of hesitation, he said, "If the test results are as Mr. Su said, I will discuss and consider your proposal with the leadership."

Su Yang waved his hand, "I'll wait for your news."

Leaving the Life Science Research Institute with Miao Ling, the tall beauty stared at Su Yang and said sensitively, "I always feel like you have some ulterior motive..."

Is it really that scary, a woman's intuition?

Su Yang grumbled inwardly and smiled, "I always prefer to act openly."

Miao Ling said seriously, "Su Yang, don't cause any trouble at the institute. If something big happens, even Elder Lu might not be able to handle it."

"Do I care?"

Su Yang said disdainfully. He indeed had the capital not to care about Elder Lu, especially since he had already taken a roundabout way to help the country and was still suspected by Miao Ling. He couldn't help but feel annoyed, "Now that we've left the institute, if anything happens, it won't involve us, right?"

"In theory, yes."

Miao Ling sighed lightly, feeling a bit apologetic, "Su Yang, I was just overthinking. Sigh, who would have thought you'd do so many outrageous things, and this time you're so conventional. I just couldn't adapt."

Hearing this, Su Yang couldn't help but sigh inwardly. It turned out that his perfect performance had made him suspicious. It seemed that his "reckless" image had deeply rooted in the tall beauty's mind.
