At this moment, the thoughts transformed. Since it couldn’t be delayed any longer, it was time to scare him good.
Levinbeck harbored intentions towards him and concealed them deeply, posing a threat that must be guarded against.
At the moment, unable to do anything about him, he could only use some unconventional means to shake his worldview.
"I’ll be watching you." Li Ming waved his hand, and the mechanical bodies retreated.
Levinbeck’s eyes finally rippled with emotion. He walked up to the Blood Seed and gently stroked it.
The Blood Seed seemingly received some signal, extending tendrils of blood patterns from its roots, swiftly spreading in all directions.
"What are you doing!?" Li Ming, very conscientious, continued acting till this moment, shouting sternly.
"Don’t rush, this is a normal reaction, it’ll be fine in a moment." Levinbeck explained casually.
The population on this planet wasn’t large, so the alchemy material obtained from devouring life energy was meager.
Even if this carrier absorbed it, it wouldn’t exert much capability.
However, what I wanted was merely to take Li Ming away. Wasting this carrier, along with the alchemy material, should barely be doable.
The Primordial Carrier is quite precious, born only from Primordial Flesh. It can imprint the existence of flesh in a region for rebirth.
Still, if I can take Li Ming away, it’s all worth it.
Everything proceeded according to his thoughts. Levinbeck slowly closed his eyes, preparing to welcome the descent of alchemy material.
The completion of alchemy material was just in sight!
Hmm!?
As time trickled by, however, the Blood Seed showed no reaction.
No way!
Levinbeck abruptly opened his eyes, looking at the Blood Seed in front of him with suspicion.
How could this be, the alchemy material?
Why is there nothing at all?
"Did it fail?" A slightly indifferent voice came from behind. Levinbeck frowned, "Wait... Hmm?"
He turned suddenly, looking at Li Ming.
The expression on the other’s face was entirely different from before, one he had never seen; calm, serene, yet chilling to the core.
"You..." An inexplicable thought suddenly emerged in Levinbeck’s mind, causing his face to twitch fiercely, yet impossible to believe at first.
"Can’t activate it?" Li Ming asked again, casually sitting on a nearby rock, "No hurry, take your time. I’m waiting for you."
He fiddled with the smart terminal in his hand, seeming to not regard Levinbeck at all.
Finally, he looked up again, smiling as he spoke, "I should capture Lord Levinbeck’s current appearance, my teacher might be very interested."
In an instant, Levinbeck’s heart twisted tight, as though an invisible force clenched it, the unimaginable thought in his mind confirmed, "You... he really..."
I was played!
Azure Dragon, along with this kid, knew the truth from the start, even his identity.
Always acting for him, treating him like a fool!
I was actually toyed with by a little guy.
Levinbeck found it difficult to accept, his heart burning with rage, and an unspeakable humiliation. His previous pretentiousness must be utterly laughable to them.
Levinbeck looked at Li Ming’s apathy towards him, even beginning to resent why he wasn’t here in true descent, wishing to shred this guy into pieces!
All his previous guesses were wrong, Azure Dragon’s identity, means, remained unknown!
But finally, he barely held back, glanced at the unmoving Blood Seed, squeezing a few words from his throat, "Where’s your teacher?"
"He’s busy." Li Ming’s attitude was casual, "Whatever you want to say, I can relay it."
"Relay it!"
These four words seemed like a fuse, completely igniting the fury in Levinbeck’s heart.
Embarrassment from being toyed by Li Ming, anxiety of his plan possibly being exposed, dread of Azure Dragon, suspicion towards his possible identity as the Forging Hammer, tangled feelings.
All erupted at this moment, he spoke coldly and lowly, "Do you know who you’re talking to!"
"To what extent is he strong enough not to regard me, or is he afraid to face me?"
"Let Azure Dragon meet me!"
Levinbeck didn’t believe Li Ming had the qualifications to talk with him.
Previously, hiding his identity was for disguise; now, appearing as Levinbeck, everything should be different.
Nearly eighty percent certain now, confirming Azure Dragon is the Forging Hammer, the reason he hadn’t appeared was fear of facing him, his former student.
Li Ming was very calm, looking at Levinbeck in anger, "Finished talking? Just that?"
After a brief outburst, Levinbeck quickly calmed down, his eyes cold.
The two faced each other in silence for a long time, then Levinbeck spoke hoarsely, "So, you know everything?"
