Chapter 42: Qub Yi Seeks Assistance

Genres:Martial Arts and Xianxia Last update:25/03/23 21:01:41
    The emergence of these magic arts further strengthened Ding Huan's belief in his conjecture that immortals and gods do exist.

    Otherwise, how would these magic arts be explained?

    Before Ding Huan arrived at Puhai, he was constantly worried about being discovered by the strong. The main reason was that he had no means of preserving his life.

    Now that these magical methods are available, how could one not hurry to learn them first?

    Looking at his own arm, Ding Huan decided to test his ability to recover from injuries.

    His wind blade skill was not yet proficient, at least Ding Huan had not mastered it fully. He dare not randomly slash himself with it, for fear of accidentally amputating an arm and turning joy into sorrow.

    After some thought, Ding Huan still took a fruit knife and sliced his arm.

    Yet, although the cut was deep, the blood was only slowly oozing out.

    Within a few seconds, the bleeding stopped. Ding Huan observed his wound and noticed that in less than a minute, the wound seemed to be slowly healing.

    "Wow, that's amazing." Ding Huan was incredibly excited.

    Within just one minute, the wound began to heal.

    What was most critical was that the wound healed differently from normal wounds. It didn't form a scab, and there was no itching sensation.

    The wound healed directly without any intervention—was there a more miraculous recovery ability?

    Five minutes later, Ding Huan used water to clean the wound.

    Where he had just sliced, there was now only a faint mark.

    This healing ability of the wound surprised Ding Huan himself.

    ...

    Today's harvest was indeed much larger than expected, and it took Ding Huan quite some time to calm himself down.

    Then, Ding Huan packed his things and checked out of the room, paying for the damaged items at their full price.

    The hotel was also puzzled as to why Ding Huan had chopped in half a bedside table with a knife, but as compensation was offered, there was nothing they could do.

    After checking out of the room, Ding Huan specially bought a tent and headed to the unfinished Putou New Park in Puhai.

    Since the environmental mutation and the outbreak of genetic ferocious beasts, this park has been halted from construction.

    In this era, few people would go to parks.

    Everyone is busy striving for survival.

    No one knows which will come first, death or tomorrow.

    So the vast wetland park has become a wilderness, and even some genetic ferocious beasts lurk here.

    Ding Huan randomly set up the tent and then started practicing fireball skill, wind blade skill and control wind skill.

    Since he was in Puhai, he couldn't leave without anything to show for it.

    Before leaving, he also wanted to take a look around the old nest of the Genetic Union in Puhai, so these simple skills were quite useful.

    The wind blade skill was quite simple, and Ding Huan managed to succeed on his first attempt.

    The fireball skill was more challenging; it took about half a minute to concentrate and cast, which made combat rather impractical.

    These skills require speed, ferocity, and accuracy.

    Ding Huan kept practicing the fireball and wind blade skills repeatedly.

    Starting from the first fireball, Ding Huan's progress was like being blessed by a deity. In just five days, he was able to cast the fireball skill instantly.

    As for the wind blade skill, Ding Huan was even more precise with it.

    The only thing lacking was control wind skill, which needed more time to refine.

    For five days, aside from a few cars, Ding Huan didn't see a single person pass by this area.

    For Ding Huan, he could now leave.

    ...

    The Wudao Square in Puhai, the second round of the assessment has ended.

    Fang Chong, Li Wanyan, and Lu Ziyuan were still among the top five.

    The more reserved Lu Ziyuan was still in first place. Olwen was in second place, Li Wanyan was in third place, Ixi was in fourth place, and Fang Chong was in fifth place.

    All the top five candidates achieved a double S grade.

    This ranking caused shame for many famous universities in China, as none of their students made the top five.

    With the exception of Yujiang University, the best performance among all other schools in China appeared in the sixth place.

    The scores from the first two rounds were one S-grade and one A-grade, which were still significantly weaker than the top five.

    The third round of assessment will take place one day later.

    Two rounds of assessments over, true happiness and true sorrow are seen.

    Regardless, Yujiang University was overjoyed. Even the leaders of Luohe City were in high spirits, with some even making a special trip to Puhai to offer condolences and congratulations.

    The three students from Yujiang University who shone in this round of assessment, Fang Chong, Li Wanyan, and Lu Ziyuan, naturally took advantage of this opportunity to reunite with their families.

    At this time, not only Yujiang University but also the entire city of Puhai, they three were the focus.

    As the parents of the three students, they naturally received invitations from all sides.

    Leaders from Luohe came to Puhai to meet with them and requested that they bring their children together for a gathering.

    Geng Qianxing thought about the three students practicing Qianluo Gene Decree and basic fists, and this kind of strength should be able to handle the third round and fourth round without any problem.

    Why not let the three students relax and enjoy the joy of success with their families?

    Geng Qianxing, who was left alone in the room, was still thinking about his notebook. Since his notebook was taken away, he had been restless.

    What was strange was that after the notebook was taken away, there was no news.

    Now that the three students were not around, Geng Qianxing practiced the Qianluo Gene Decree for a while but couldn't help feeling distracted.

    Just then, the door of the room was knocked on.

    Geng Qianxing opened the door and looked curiously at the young girl standing at the door.

    The girl looked exhausted, even with a bloodstain on her forehead, and her eyes lacked vitality.

    "Excuse me, who are you looking for?" Geng Qianxing asked.

    Yujiang University was outstanding, so many guests seeking Geng Qianxing and the three students were turned away.

    Now, someone was still coming, which must mean they had some ability.

    Could it be because of his endurance gene? Thinking of this, Geng Qianxing's heart tightened.

    "You must be Mr. Geng." the tired-looking girl asked in a very polite manner.

    Geng Qianxing nodded. "That's right, it's me."

    "My name is Qu Fei, and I'm here to look for Mr. Ding."

    The visitor was Qu Fei, who previously didn't believe in Ding Huan. She had tried to convince Qvy not to associate with Ding Huan, yet here she was seeking him out herself.

    Even as she herself felt somewhat sarcastic.

    Before, she certainly didn't believe in Ding Huan. However, the three students under his guidance now had all achieved S-grade scores in two rounds of assessments.

    Once she was convinced that Ding Huan had real abilities, she couldn't even find him to see him.

    Many ordinary people believed that Geng Qianxing also had some merit in the appearance of the three extraordinary students from Yujiang University.

    As someone at the level of Qu Jiuyi, Geng Qianxing had some understanding. According to what he knew, the reason why the three students from Yujiang University had such outstanding achievements was solely because of Ding Huan.

    Unfortunately, he didn't believe Ding Huan's words before, which cost Qvy his future.

    Qu Fei and Qu Yi had always followed Qu Jiuyi, so Qu Fei was also aware of some of the truth. The truly talented person was Ding Huan, not this Mr. Geng in front of her.

    Because of this, Qu Fei is still regretting it to this day.

    "Ding Huan? He's not in Puhai." Geng Qianxing was even more confused.

    Ding Huan is currently wanted, doesn't everyone know that? To come looking for Ding Huan now... what does that mean?

    Qu Fei quickly said, "I know that Mr. Ding isn't in Puhai, but I have a letter that I need to give to Mr. Ding."

    "I can't find him either." Geng Qianxing refused the suggestion without hesitation.

    Qu Fei sighed and said,

    "I am Qu Yi's auntie. I stopped Ding Huan from meeting Qu Yi several times... I did these things in a way that wasn't very proper, and it also caused harm to Qu Yi..."

    Qu Yi?

    Geng Qianxing had a faint recollection. During the first day of the first round of assessments, before Yujiang University even started, he saw Qu Yi's name on the big screen showing the scores, and it was quite high up in the rankings.

    It seems to be B-grade gene fusion level.

    "You say Mr. Ding knows Qu Yi?" Geng Qianxing was not entirely certain.

    He was relatively familiar with Ding Huan, but he really didn't know much about Ding Huan's past.

    "Yes, when Ding Huan left, he told Qu Yi that if she ever encountered difficulties, she could come find him."

    Now Qu Yi is truly in trouble, and I can only come to look for Mr. Ding.”

    Qu Fei knew that Ding Huan and Qu Yi must not have met, and Qu Yi would not lie to her about such matters.

    She was able to find her way here, thanks to Qu Jiuyi's advice just before his death.

    Qu Jiuyi advised her that Ding Huan can cultivate three students with S-grade gene fusion levels, indicating that Ding Huan's control over genetics is far superior to those so-called experts and professors.

    In just three months, he transformed three ordinary students into all S-grade achievements. If he hadn't used gene drugs, no one would believe it.

    Qu Yi's current situation can only be saved by a strong gene scholar. Qu Yi's forced gene fusion is causing problems, and her own gene group needs to be stabilized in order for her to survive.

    There may be a few people in the world who can save Qu Yi, but they can only be called upon by one person, that is Ding Huan.

    Qu Jiuyi said this and then left.

    So far, Qu Fei has not been able to forgive herself for stopping Ding Huan and Qu Yi from meeting.

    If Qu Yi had met with Ding Huan, might the assessment results have also been double S grades? With double S grades, who would dare to force Qu Yi to undergo gene fusion?

    "Alright, I'll take the letter and keep it. If I meet Mr. Ding, I'll hand it to him. If I don't meet him, you can't blame me." Geng Qianxing took the letter from Qu Fei and put it away.

    "Thank you." Qu Fei bowed to Geng Qianxing and then turned and left.

    Qu Fei left, and Geng Qianxing still felt an unease, though he himself didn't know what he was uneasy about.

    After turning a few times in the room, Geng Qianxing heard the door being knocked again.

    Geng Qianxing's heart skipped a beat without reason. He immediately placed the letter he was holding on the bedside table and went to open the door.

    The two men didn't wait for Geng Qianxing to speak and directly entered his room, closing the door behind them.

    "Who are you? What are you doing here?" Geng Qianxing stood guard and asked, taking several steps back after speaking.

    These two men were clearly not the kind of people to be messed with. Both were wearing sunglasses, and one of them was holding a bag, which was bulging with something inside.

    The man who didn't have the bag on was wearing a long-sleeved shirt, and his hand was tucked inside the sleeve.

    Geng Qianxing suspected that the man had a gun in his hand.

    "We are from the Gene Alliance, and we need Mr. Geng to cooperate with our investigation. Mr. Geng, please." The long-sleeved man finished speaking and stepped aside to let open the doorway.

    Geng Qianxing remained silent, knowing that his resistance would be futile.

    Only he can blame himself for not listening to Ding Huan's words.

    These two men were looking for him, and there was a good chance that it had something to do with his endurance gene. Apart from that, it was also related to Ding Huan's whereabouts.

    (That's all for today's update, friends, good night!)
