Chapter 82 Sweet and Soft
Upon hearing this, Song Lin felt slightly relieved, but new worries immediately arose: "Your Majesty, how long will it take for Mo Yu to fully recover from his injuries, and will it affect his normal cultivation?"
After a moment's thought, and considering the extent of the damage to Mo Yu's spiritual sea, Ya Li gave a conservative estimate: "At least six months, and possibly up to a year. The power of the curse has already damaged her spiritual essence. To fully repair it, we need to proceed gradually and cannot rush it."
He was in a coma for two or three months, and would need to recuperate for another six months to a year, during which time he couldn't even cultivate!
Song Lin's heart sank instantly, and her arms around Mo Yu trembled slightly.
For an ordinary Soul Master, a stagnation of a year or two might not be a big deal.
Ke Moyu is a student at Shrek Academy, the top soul master academy on the continent. The competition is fierce and brutal, and the rules are so strict that they are inhuman. No one ever stops to wait for anyone.
Shrek Academy's assessment system is known for its "rigor." Every year, the entire academy takes a small exam, implementing a "last-place elimination system." The five students who rank last in the assessment will be expelled.
Although Mo Yu's situation is a special case, she may be able to apply for exemption from some daily attendance penalties, such as being late for class or skipping class, which may be exempted at the discretion of the authorities.
But the crucial annual exam will never be given special consideration for personal reasons.
Given Mo Yu's current condition, she will need a long period of recuperation after waking up, making it impossible for her to cultivate normally, and even her soul power will be difficult to stabilize.
What will she have to compete with her classmates who are working hard day and night and making rapid progress in the small exam a year later?
"Sigh~"
Ya Li also thought of this and let out a sigh, but the rules set by the ancestors are paramount, and this is not something that she, as the dean of the inner court, can change.
Shrek Academy's motto is: We only accept monsters, not ordinary people.
If Mo Yu doesn't make it through this hurdle, it only proves that she isn't a true "monster" student.
"I can save her."
Just as Song Lin's eyes were red and she was about to accept this cruel reality, a child's voice, firm yet tinged with childishness, suddenly broke the silence.
People in the coffee shop all turned their attention to the source of the sound, and their expressions became somewhat strange. A small figure was slowly walking out of the crowd.
"I can save her, but you must pay me." Lu Xingchen walked slowly to Mo Yu, facing the astonished gazes of the crowd.
"Um?"
Song Lin was taken aback at first, but when she realized that the speaker was a child, a hint of impatience flashed across her face.
She suppressed her irritation and said in a somewhat dismissive tone, "Don't be silly, kid. This isn't child's play."
Upon hearing this, Lu Xingchen slightly raised her eyes, her clear gaze meeting Song Lin's directly: "You don't want to save her anymore?"
Song Lin was taken aback by his words, and after realizing what he meant, she said with some annoyance, "She is my student, of course I want to save her, but even His Holiness the Holy Spirit cannot heal her, so what can I do?"
Lu Xingchen looked at her calmly, his tone unwavering: "That's why I said I can save her, it just depends on whether you're willing to pay the price."
"you?"
Song Lin sized up the little kid in front of her, then laughed angrily, "What do you know about healing? Even if you are a healing-type Soul Master, you're probably only a one-ring Soul Master, right?"
"Can't even one ring road save a life?"
Lu Xingchen tilted his head slightly, his eyes filled with a pure doubt, but without the slightest fear. "Just tell me, are we going to save her or not?"
"you----"
Song Lin was already upset about Mo Yu's situation, and now, being repeatedly questioned by a child, her anger flared up instantly. She gritted her teeth and raised her hand to chase the troublesome child away.
"etc."
Ya Li suddenly raised her hand and pressed down on Song Lin's arm, her gaze falling on Lu Xingchen with a mixture of curiosity and inquiry. "Are you really confident you can cure Mo Yu?"
She was kind by nature and never wanted to give up any hope. Moreover, after their brief contact, she could tell that this child was not someone who talked big.
Mo Yu's condition is already bad enough. If there is a possibility of treatment, why give up?
Anyway, with her, a level 98 healing-type super Douluo, there's a safety net even if things go badly. So why not let Lu Xingchen give it a try? What if it works?
"I'm about 80% sure."
Lu Xingchen nodded, his tone certain, "However, if you want me to take action, there must be a reward."
"What reward?" Ya Li asked curiously, while Song Lin temporarily suppressed her anger and stared intently at him.
Lu Xingchen held up a tiny finger and said clearly, "Ten million Federal Credits. If I cure her, you will give me ten million Federal Credits as a reward; if I fail, I will not receive a single cent."
"Sure." Ya Li agreed without hesitation. "If Mo Yu is unable to pay it off immediately, I can pay it for her first."
Most of Shrek's students come from wealthy families. Even if they are temporarily short of money, the academy has many missions and avenues to earn money. With Mo Yu's abilities, it will not be difficult for her to pay off this debt in the future.
Moreover, the college's rules are that students should be self-reliant. She will not directly help them for free, but she will not delay treatment because of money either.
"Okay, I'll begin the treatment then."
After receiving a reply, Lu Xingchen walked up to Mo Yu and carefully placed his two small hands on her pale cheeks. He took a deep breath, and a faint halo suddenly emanated from his body.
"Buzz—"
Two condensed yellow soul rings (disguise) quietly appeared, slowly rotating around his body, emitting a steady fluctuation of soul power.
"A Grand Soul Master?"
A hint of surprise flashed in the eyes of Ya Li, Song Lin, and the others.
The child in front of me looks to be under ten years old, yet he is already a level twenty-something Great Soul Master? Even in Shrek City, where geniuses abound, such talent is truly rare.
"Sainthood".
Lu Xingchen uttered two words softly, and strands of blood, almost invisible to the naked eye, seeped from his palm. Under the control of his mental power, they slowly seeped into Mo Yu's body through her mouth and nose as if they were alive.
As the blood flowed, an extremely rich and pure life force emanated from Lu Xingchen, instantly filling the entire coffee shop.
In everyone's eyes, Lu Xingchen at this moment seemed to have transformed into a star radiating emerald green light, and wherever that gentle light of life reached, even the air was filled with vibrant vitality.
Song Lin felt a warm sensation on her skin as the light touched her, and the fatigue and anxiety of the past few days dissipated, making her feel as if she had become several years younger.
"This healing light—"
Yali's eyes were filled with shock. "The radiation range is small, but the purity of this life force is subtly superior to mine?"
As a level 98 healing-type super Douluo, her vitality is among the best on the entire continent. Apart from Biji in the Star Dou Great Forest and the Golden Ancient Tree in the academy, she has never seen such pure life fluctuations.
But both Brigitte and the Golden Tree had reached such a level after tens of thousands of years of accumulating. How could this child, who was only a few years old, possess such a heaven-defying life essence?
Yun Ming, standing to the side, was also slightly moved. Sensing this familiar fluctuation, he murmured, "This feeling seems somewhat similar to the life tide on Devil's Island, and this child's spiritual fluctuations... Spirit Sea Realm?!"
As the emerald light continued to surge, wisps of dark green energy gradually seeped from Mo Yu's seven orifices; that was the cursed power that was eroding her brain.
Upon contact with the light of life, these dark green currents, like ice and snow meeting the blazing sun, instantly transformed into wisps of blue smoke and dissipated into the air.
"It actually works?!"
Song Lin's eyes widened, her face filled with horror.
The curse that even the Holy Spirit Douluo could not completely eradicate was easily resolved by a child. What exactly is his martial soul?
i
"There seems to be something wrong with the way this child is being treated." Just as everyone was marveling, Yali's brows furrowed slightly.
She keenly sensed that as the curse power within Mo Yu's body gradually dissipated, the fluctuations of Lu Xingchen's soul power were slowly decreasing—not a normal consumption, but a decline at the source level.
He had clearly had level 23 soul power before, but now he felt as if he had dropped to level 22.
"alright!"
Just then, Lu Xingchen suddenly withdrew his hands, a fine layer of sweat seeping from his forehead, and his face turned somewhat pale, clearly indicating that he had exhausted himself greatly.
"Hmm~"
Almost the instant he finished speaking, Mo Yu, who had been unconscious, twitched her fingers slightly. Then, she frowned and slowly opened her dazed eyes: "What happened to me?"
"That's great! Mo Yu, you're finally awake!" Song Lin couldn't hold back any longer and hugged her tightly, her voice choked with emotion.
"Huh? Teacher Song Lin, what's wrong with you—" Mo Yu was a little out of breath from being hugged so tightly, and blinked blankly.
Song Lin began to explain: "You before—"
Yali stepped forward, a soft white light condensing in her hand, enveloping Moyu.
A moment later, she nodded to Song Lin with relief: "The curse power in Mo Yu's brain has been completely expelled. As long as he rests well for one night, he will recover quickly."
"Yes, thank you, Your Holy Spirit." Song Lin helped Mo Yu, who had just woken up and whose face was still somewhat pale, to stand up slowly and thanked Ya Li.
Then, she turned her gaze to the pale-faced, petite child, took a deep breath, and her tone, which had previously been impatient and dismissive, became more serious: "I'm sorry, my attitude was bad before, and I apologize for that."
Judging from the methods this child just displayed, he undoubtedly has the potential to become a top-tier healing-type Soul Master.
It's natural to befriend a Soul Master of this level if possible, because you never know when you might be seriously injured and need to ask them for help.
Of course, what made her even more determined to give in was Ya Li's obviously unusual attitude towards Lu Xingchen just now.
His Holiness the Holy Spirit is a level 98 healing-type super Douluo, one of the few on the entire continent, yet he showed a certain familiarity and concern for a child.
Song Lin was insightful and naturally understood the significance of the matter.
The proud Shrekians never apologize easily unless the other party is also a Shrek and of a much higher status.
The child in front of her was clearly worth her humbling herself for.
"Pay!"
Lu Xingchen also noticed the other party's attitude and gestured with her small hand.
"Um.
""
Song Lin took out a black card with fine patterns engraved on the edges from her bosom and handed it to Lu Xingchen. "There are ten million Federal Credits in here. The password is six zeros."
Although Ya Li had said she would pay in advance, Song Lin would not actually let the Dean of the Inner Court bear the cost.
Mo Yu is her student, so this debt should naturally be settled with her, the class teacher. As for the future, Mo Yu will naturally have to repay it slowly through academy tasks.
That's the rule at Shrek Academy: students must learn to be self-reliant, and teachers can only help to a certain extent, never do everything for them. Only in this way can true "monsters" be forged.
Lu Xingchen put away the black card, then stumbled, seemingly feeling somewhat weak.
"careful."
Seeing this, Ya Li immediately stepped forward and pulled Lu Xingchen into her arms to prevent him from falling.
It smells so good!
Since Lu Xingchen's height only reached Ya Li's waist, when Ya Li hugged him, his cheek happened to brush against a soft, warm body, and a delicate fragrance, like bamboo after the rain, instantly filled his nose.
It was a body fragrance formed by long-term nourishment from life energy and soul power, pure and gentle, which unconsciously relaxed his tense nerves and even dissipated some of his physical fatigue.
"So soft, is this what it feels like to hold a baby?" Ya Li, who was holding Lu Xingchen, also felt a strange flutter in her heart.
Perhaps it was the sense of closeness stemming from shared life forms; the small body in my arms was warm and soft, like a cloud-like pillow warmed by the afternoon sun, carrying a pure and clean aura.
A vague thought suddenly flashed through her mind: if she and Ming-ge had their own child, would it be just as adorable?
"Um, can you let me go?" Lu Xingchen's voice rang out in her arms, tinged with a hint of barely perceptible embarrassment.
Ya Li snapped out of her daze, her cheeks slightly flushed. Though reluctant, she slowly released her arms. A wisp of soft white light gathered at her fingertips and gently touched Lu Xingchen's brow. The light instantly entered his body, gently nourishing his meridians: "If the exhaustion of your soul power is due to the treatment, don't push yourself. Go sit down and rest properly."
Lu Xingchen shook his head and wiped the cold sweat from his forehead: "It's nothing, I'm just a little tired, I'll be fine after a rest."
"Really? Then I'll help you recover."
A steady voice suddenly rang out, and Yun Ming had walked up to him without anyone noticing.
His expression was calm, but without saying a word, he gently placed his palm on Lu Xingchen's back. An extremely gentle yet profound soul power, as deep as the ocean, slowly flowed into Lu Xingchen's body through his palm.
"Brother Ming?"
Yali was slightly taken aback, a hint of surprise flashing in her eyes.
Yun Ming was calm and composed, and he never easily interfered in other people's affairs. Why would he take the initiative to transfer soul power to a child today? But she quickly understood. Brother Ming always acted with discretion, and there must be a reason for his actions.
The gentle soul power flowed slowly through Lu Xingchen's body, nourishing his depleted meridians like warm water. It not only propelled his own soul power to circulate rapidly but also quietly probed his bones and origins.
Yun Ming's brows furrowed as he investigated, then slowly relaxed, his eyes filled with disbelief and amazement.
After a long while, he slowly withdrew his hand, his gaze towards Lu Xingchen filled with shock.
This child has so many extraordinary qualities.
That incredibly pure life force, the spiritual power comparable to a Soul Saint, and that miraculous healing method—none of these are things an ordinary orphan could possess.
He initially thought Lu Xingchen might be a transformed soul beast, but the investigation revealed that he was 100% human and surprisingly young.
"A seven-year-old Great Soul Master?!"
Yun Ming's voice was slightly hoarse, a conclusion that even he himself found unbelievable.
Throughout the history of Douluo Continent, there have been geniuses who reached the level of soul power in their twenties at such a young age, but Lu Xingchen, who possesses such pure life force, powerful spiritual power, and strange healing ability, is absolutely unique.
