Chapter 54: Discharged from the Hospital

With both Geng Qianxing and Ding Huan gone, Fang Chong, Li Wanran, and Luo Huaner were all certain to enter one of the top ten Blue Star Academies.

Therefore, Fang Chong planned to come to the bookstore to buy some books on gene cultivation to read, so that at least when he arrived at the top ten Blue Star Academies in the future, he wouldn't be completely in the dark.

"Fang Chong." While Fang Chong was flipping through a book, his shoulder was suddenly patted.

Who was it? Fang Chong turned around in a hurry.

Fang Chong realized he didn't recognize the person who patted him, but he didn't care; many strangers recognized him now.

"Follow me out for a moment. I am Ding Huan." After Ding Huan finished speaking, he turned and left the bookstore first.

Hearing the first half of the sentence, Fang Chong thought to himself, *Who are you, and why should I follow you out?*

Upon hearing it was Ding Huan, he hurriedly put down the book in his hand and followed Ding Huan out eagerly.

The girl who had entered the bookstore with Fang Chong saw him leave, put down the book in her hand, and fell into deep thought while looking at Ding Huan’s back.

"Teacher Ding, is it really you?" Fang Chong asked excitedly after walking out of the bookstore.

Ding Huan nodded. "It’s me. Tell me, did Teacher Geng say anything to you before he was captured?"

"Was Teacher Geng really captured? We only know he went missing. Was he captured by the Gene Alliance?" Fang Chong asked a series of questions.

Only then did Ding Huan realize that Fang Chong didn't know anything at all.

He had to say, "Since you don't know, forget it. You should all be able to enter the top ten Blue Star Academies this time; cultivate well once you get in."

"Teacher Ding, can I follow you to learn?" Fang Chong looked at Ding Huan with longing.

Now he understood that Ding Huan’s ability was far stronger than the top ten Blue Star Academies.

Ding Huan patted Fang Chong again. "It’s not realistic to follow me. I’m currently being hunted, and I still have to go find Teacher Geng later; there’s no point in you following me.

Besides, I can’t teach you anything else now. As long as you continue to cultivate according to what I taught you before, your strength will gradually improve.

The top ten Blue Star Academies have top-tier resources, which is better than following me and facing an uncertain life and death."

"Yes, Teacher Ding." Fang Chong’s eyes dimmed; he knew Ding Huan was telling the truth.

"I’m leaving. You don't need to tell Li Wanran and Luo Huaner that I was here." After Ding Huan finished speaking, he turned to leave.

"Teacher Ding, which academy do you think I should enter?" Fang Chong asked hurriedly again.

Ding Huan hesitated for a moment and said, "It’s best to stay in Huaxia; that will be helpful for your martial arts. Don't think that martial arts are really inferior to gene cultivation; at least on Earth, martial arts are not inferior to gene cultivation."

"Teacher Ding, Dean Qin Qiang of the Martial Pulse Mountain Field has invited us to join..."

"If you want to, then join... No, wait, the Martial Pulse Mountain Field? Don't join that academy." Ding Huan immediately remembered that the Martial Pulse Mountain Field was among the forces hunting him.

Speaking of which, Ding Huan remembered who that woman was just now; the woman who greeted Andong Ao was Dean Qin Qiang of the Martial Pulse Mountain Field.

"Hmm, I’ll listen to you. By the way, Teacher Ding, I have a letter for you; it should have been left by Teacher Geng." Fang Chong remembered the letter left in the hotel.

"I’ll go with you to get it." Ding Huan was overjoyed.

If Geng Qianxing left a letter, it meant Geng Qianxing had sensed something beforehand.

Following Fang Chong to the Tinghuan Hotel, Fang Chong handed Ding Huan the letter he had taken from Geng Qianxing’s room.

Ding Huan glanced at the envelope, which had "To be opened by Ding Huan personally" written on it.

This handwriting didn't look much like Geng Qianxing’s?

Putting the letter in his pocket, Ding Huan took out a bottle of gene agent and handed it to Fang Chong. "This is a recovery gene agent for injuries; fuse with it tonight. In the future, after you get injured, your recovery will be much faster."

He had obtained two types of fire lizards and had also refined two types of injury recovery gene agents.

He had refined two doses of the injury recovery gene agent extracted from the double-horned fire lizard gene with divine beast bloodline.

He had used one dose himself, and the other was reserved for Qu Yi.

He had refined one bottle of the six-horned fire lizard injury recovery gene agent, which was useless to Ding Huan now, so he simply gave it to Fang Chong.

"Ah." Fang Chong received the gene agent with surprise; he hadn't expected such a benefit.

Gene agents refined by Teacher Ding were worth more than gold.

"Fang Chong, I don't know when I will return to Luohe after leaving this time. Let’s do this: I will teach you the latter part of the Thousand-Lace Gene Art."

Ding Huan thought that if Fang Chong cultivated to a Level 3 Gene Cultivator and couldn't find him for a while, wouldn't his cultivation stagnate?

Fang Chong really hadn't thought about this matter, but now that Ding Huan mentioned it, he hurriedly replied,

"That would be great, thank you Teacher Ding. I promise I won’t spread it around casually."

Ding Huan smiled and didn't mind.

Among the three students, the one he valued the most was not Luo Huaner, who had already stepped into the Level 1 Gene Cultivator realm, nor Li Wanran, who was respectful and obedient to him, but this Fang Chong before him.

Having experienced two lifetimes, Ding Huan was confident he wouldn't misjudge people.

Fang Chong was someone who knew how to be grateful.

As for good aptitude and obedience, what did that have to do with him? Only grateful people were worth his attention.

Originally, his physical fitness had improved a lot under Ding Huan’s gene agents, and with Fang Chong about to step into the ranks of Level 1 Gene Cultivators, his memory was far stronger than ordinary people’s.

The latter part of the Thousand-Lace Gene Art’s cultivation method only changed the acupuncture points and the movement of meridian Qi; there wouldn't be any major changes.

So in just twenty minutes, Fang Chong learned the cycle cultivation method of the Thousand-Lace Gene Art that Ding Huan had described.

"Teacher Ding, should I pass it on to Luo Huaner and Li Wanran?" Fang Chong asked.

Ding Huan was silent for a moment and said, "That’s up to you. If you think it can be passed on, then pass it on; if you think it’s not worth passing on, you can also make the decision.

After I leave, keep cultivating. I estimate that the gene beast tide will soon sweep through major cities, and the top ten Blue Star Academies are not foolproof either; being strong yourself is the foundation.

Moreover, being in the top ten Blue Star Academies, you will likely be on the front lines. Also, I thought about it just now: if you must choose one of the top ten Blue Star Academies, then choose the Dahan Yi Academy."

"Ah, isn't the Dahan Yi Academy ranked last?" Fang Chong exclaimed.

Ding Huan smiled. "Last? Hehe, do you need their cultivation techniques or their resources?"

"That’s right, I have the techniques; as long as I have the resources, it’s fine." Fang Chong realized.

"That’s right. Also, I heard the Dahan Yi Academy inherits from the Buddhist school.

Pay attention to whether they have any martial arts or skills that require internal Qi to perform; these are the reasons for you to join the Dahan Yi Academy. Alright, this is all I can help you with. Goodbye."

After speaking, Ding Huan hurriedly said goodbye to Fang Chong and left the hotel.

Andong Ao’s strength was simply too strong, and Ding Huan was worried about being targeted by this person, having spent too much time with Fang Chong.

After getting the letter, he planned to leave Puhai immediately.

As soon as he left the hotel, Ding Huan opened the letter Geng Qianxing had given him.

"Teacher Ding, please save Yiyi. She was forcibly fused with foreign genes and is now in critical condition at the Ruiji Hospital... Qu Fei."

What was going on? Wasn't this a letter left by Geng Qianxing? How did it become a letter asking for help for Qu Yi?

Ding Huan soon realized that in this lifetime, he had returned here, and although he had taken out Chang Chongjin and Li Xing, changing the fate of Qu Yi being taken away for gene experiments,

it hadn't been changed completely; Qu Yi was still targeted by the Gene Alliance.

The problem was very likely with that Boss Quan.

The only difference was that this time Qu Yi should have been rescued, but the rescued Qu Yi was hanging by a thread because she had fused with foreign gene agents.

These dogs, Ding Huan was furious in his heart; he turned around and accelerated toward Ruiji Hospital.

"Qu Yi was discharged?" When Ding Huan arrived at Qu Yi’s hospital room, the answer he received made him somewhat uneasy.

"May I ask who her attending physician is?" Ding Huan wanted to figure out what was going on with Qu Yi.

The nurse in the ward pointed to an office diagonally opposite. "It’s Dr. Guo."

"Thanks." Ding Huan arrived at this Dr. Guo’s office in a few steps.

"May I ask if you are Dr. Guo?" Ding Huan looked at a young man sitting at the desk writing and drawing with a pen and asked.

The young man looked up and glanced at Ding Huan. "What’s the matter?"

Ding Huan asked, "Dr. Guo, I am a friend of Qu Yi. May I ask what the problem is with Qu Yi? Did she transfer because her condition worsened?"

Dr. Guo just said lightly, "Sorry, no comment."

Then he ignored Ding Huan and continued to lower his head to write and draw on the white paper in front of him.

Ding Huan knew he had asked a bit too urgently; he softened his tone and took out a stack of money from his bag.

"I really am Qu Yi’s friend. Please tell me what her problem is and where she went now. This is just a token of my appreciation."

After speaking, he pushed the money in front of Dr. Guo.

This attending physician surnamed Guo glanced at the 100,000 yuan in front of him with disdain. "If you don't leave now, don't blame me for calling security."

"Are you a gene esper?" Ding Huan stared at this Dr. Guo and realized; he had just felt the aura fluctuation from the other party that far exceeded that of an ordinary person.

Since he was a gene esper, this guy might be from the Gene Alliance.

If Qu Yi’s current situation was caused by the Gene Alliance, this Dr. Guo in front of him should know something.

Thinking of this, Ding Huan put the money away, reached out directly, grabbed Dr. Guo’s throat, and lifted him up.

Dr. Guo’s feet left the ground, but his heart was filled with shock and fear.

He was a gene esper; this guy in front of him who looked very young had made a move on him, and he didn't even have the ability to resist.

But now his throat was being gripped, and apart from his face turning red, he couldn't say a word.

Ding Huan threw him aside casually, and Dr. Guo was thrown to the ground. He said coldly, "You have one more chance to tell the truth, otherwise, you won't need to speak ever again."

"Cough cough... I’ll talk. She failed a forced fusion with a certain foreign gene, and then her genome split..."

"What foreign gene was it?"

"I really don't know. I didn't do anything to her; she was beyond saving, and she wanted to leave herself."

"Where did she go?"

"I only know her home address; whether she went back, I don't know..."

After Ding Huan got Qu Yi’s home address, he simply gave this Dr. Guo a wind blade.

Not everyone in the Gene Alliance deserved to die, and most were even quite decent, but he just felt unhappy with this Dr. Guo.
