Chapter 74 Purple Thunder Mystic Fruit, S-Rank Spirit Fruit
Lin Yuan leaned against the headboard and gently twisted his stiff neck.
Sunlight streamed through the gaps in the blinds and fell onto the white sheets.
A faint smell of disinfectant wafted in the air, mixed with a hint of milk tea aroma.
He turned to look at the doorway.
Shen Man leaned against the door frame, holding the cup of milk tea she never let go of, with the straw between her teeth.
Her gaze toward Lin Yuan was full of approval, yet tinged with a hint of teasing.
Lin Yuan slowly sat up and asked, "Teacher Shen, what time is it?"
Shen Man took a sip of her milk tea before answering him.
"At 9:32 this morning, you were meditating cross-legged at the Pentagon last night, and it has been exactly six hours since then."
Lin Yuan looked down at his hands.
The pale golden bone patterns, formed by the ten rounds of bone tempering, slowly receded and retreated beneath the skin.
Deep within the chest cavity, the dark red light core hung quietly between the heart and the sternum, docile and peaceful, without the slightest agitation.
It flickers in and out of focus, following the rhythm of a heartbeat, radiating a gentle energy.
Six hours.
A red phantom, a silver-white spacetime phantom, and the raging energy being refined appeared in my consciousness...
Everything felt incredibly real; it wasn't a dream at all.
The Time-Space Contract on my left index finger rests quietly against the fingertip, with a faint red mark clearly visible on the ring face.
Shen Man walked to the bedside and patted Lin Yuan on the back.
The force was considerable; even with Lin Yuan's powerful body, forged through ten rounds of bone tempering, he was slightly shaken.
"You're really something! A member of the Shadow Abyss Imperial Clan at the sixth level of the second tier, possessing the bloodline of a supreme imperial clan, and you killed him without hesitation!"
Shen Man's lips curled up, her tone devoid of any reproach, only overflowing with undisguised pride and smugness.
When the news reached the academy in Shanghai, the old guys who were in charge of the department were having a morning meeting and it immediately caused an uproar.
They bombarded me with over a dozen questions, insisting I recount every single detail of your battle from beginning to end.
"Gently, gently." Lin Yuan was slapped so hard that he fell forward. He pretended to be in pain, made a grimacing face, and rubbed his back.
Lin Yuan then chuckled and asked bluntly, "So, besides verbal praise, does the academy offer any tangible benefits?"
He had barely finished speaking when the ward door was pushed open.
A figure in deep blue stood at the entrance, wearing the white crane emblem of Kyoto Academy on his robe.
The visitor was none other than Fang Qing.
He stepped into the ward, holding two cans of coffee from a vending machine, and casually handed one to Shen Man.
Shen Man glanced down at the coffee can, her face full of disdain, clearly looking down on the drink.
"The benefits that Shanghai universities refuse to offer, come to Kyoto University and I'll give you all of them."
As she spoke, Fang Qing sat on a chair opposite the hospital bed, her legs casually crossed, her tone indifferent.
"Kyoto Academy will provide you with top-tier resources as an S-class freshman. Whatever you want, I'll approve it for you."
Upon hearing this, Shen Man crossed her arms and leaned against the wall.
She didn't say a word, but the expression on her face clearly warned Fang Qing that it was impossible for him to poach her students in front of her.
"Teacher Fang," Lin Yuan said, bowing politely.
Shen Man simply nodded casually, her attitude extremely perfunctory.
Fang Qing waved his hand, his gaze falling on Shen Man, his eyes filled with a smile.
"It's been years since I last saw you, and you've become more sensible."
Back in the Kyoto training camp, you blew up the training ground, and I punished you by making you write a self-criticism. You wrote four words: "Lightning-style characteristics."
Now that she's a teacher, she's become quite polite.
Hearing Fang Qing talk about her past, Shen Man couldn't help but roll her eyes, her ear tips turning slightly red.
"Teacher Fang, these are all old stories. Don't bring them up in front of the students. Give me some face."
It's hard to imagine that the now lazy and carefree Shen Man was once such an unruly witch.
Fang Qing laughed loudly, then turned to look at Lin Yuan, scrutinizing his complexion from head to toe, his gaze lingering lightly on Lin Yuan's chest.
He noticed a faint dark red glow emanating from his chest, but didn't ask any questions, simply nodding slowly.
Fang Qing could sense that the residual aura within Lin Yuan's body was very clean, indicating that it had clearly been refined.
As for what happened in between, everyone has their own secrets, and a seventh-level mentor wouldn't pry into the details of a young man's destiny.
"I'm here today for two things. First, to check on your health. Last night, your internal energy fluctuated abnormally, but it seems you're fine now."
Immediately afterwards, he leaned forward slightly, his expression becoming more serious.
"The second thing is that Kyoto Academy wants to buy a portion of the corpse of Prince Yingyuan."
Lin Yuan was almost stunned when he heard this.
He had thought Fang Qing would try to win him over with pleasantries, but he didn't expect him to start by talking about a deal.
A dignified seventh-tier S-class wind-elemental expert and the chief instructor of Kyoto Academy, yet he was so straightforward in discussing business with him.
"The complete physical body of the Shadow Abyss Imperial Clan has been preserved for the first time in five hundred years across the entire human territory."
Your shot precisely pierced the heart, perfectly preserving the imperial bloodline, bones, and core essence; its condition is practically perfect.
Fang Qing's tone was full of urgency, making no attempt to hide his desire.
"Kyoto Academy Research Institute is willing to exchange top-tier cultivation resources for a part of the corpse. Feel free to name your terms."
As soon as he finished speaking, Lin Yuan leaned against the headboard, his hands behind his head, in a relaxed posture.
To him, the emperor's corpse was of no use.
They neither study the bloodlines of other races nor keep corpses as spoils of war.
"Teacher Fang, I have no use for this body; I was planning to hand it over anyway."
Lin Yuan's lips curled slightly, and he said calmly, "Just give me the corresponding cultivation reward."
Fang Qing was taken aback at first, then burst into loud laughter, so loud that the nurses passing by outside the door peeked in to check.
His eyes were full of approval, and he nodded repeatedly.
"Good! Good! Good!"
Fang Qing said "good" three times in a row, and immediately took out a smooth and lustrous spiritual fruit from his spatial ring and handed it to Lin Yuan.
"I knew I hadn't misjudged you. You have a broad perspective and are definitely not a selfish or greedy person."
Kyoto Academy would never take your things for nothing. This spiritual fruit is a gift to you to help you improve your cultivation!
A fist-sized fruit came into view, quietly resting in Fang Qing's palm.
The spirit fruit is deep purple all over, with fine silver patterns on its skin that slowly swirl around.
The moment the fruit appeared, the air in the entire ward was instantly ionized by the lightning energy!
Even the water glass on Lin Yuan's bedside table instantly crackled with tiny electric arcs.
"This is the Purple Thunder Mystic Fruit, a top-tier S-grade treasure spirit fruit."
Fang Qing slightly raised his palm, causing the spirit fruit to suspend in the air and slowly rotate, and spoke in a deep voice.
"This is something I obtained by chance many years ago in southern Xinjiang; it's a rare find in the world."
"It has two incredible effects on lightning-type ability users."
