Chapter 126: Tian Xiong Near Death
At 5:00 PM, Chen Fan returned to the National Martial Arts.
Seeing that he was safe and sound, the group felt relieved.
"Brother Fan, Coach Tian still hasn't been contacted, the phone shows it's turned off. It won't really be him playing tricks behind our backs, right." Zhao Mingze turned off his phone, a bit annoyed.
The group's mood was very bad. After all, experiencing such a thing on the first day of training was a great blow to them.
Tian Xiong had been missing so far, so they couldn't help but suspect.
"Believe me, it won't be him, maybe the phone was damaged in the battle." Chen Fan hurriedly comforted the group.
"If he doesn't appear tomorrow, I'll go to Vice Principal Huangfu to ask for an explanation."
Chen Fan pacified their emotions and was just about to dismiss the group when he received a call from Huangfu Cheng.
10 minutes ago, Tian Xiong returned to the National Martial Arts seriously injured and was now in critical condition, undergoing emergency rescue.
Chen Fan felt incomparably suppressed in his heart. He put down his phone, his face extremely ugly.
"Teacher Tian had an accident, Vice Principal Huangfu notified us to go over."
"What!?" The group was shocked and hurriedly asked about the situation.
"Said the person has fallen into a coma, afraid he won't be saved!"
The group was also incomparably uncomfortable and hurriedly chased after Chen Fan's pace, rushing toward the backyard of the school.
Five minutes later, they arrived at a villa named Qingyuanju, which was the residence of Qing Wuya, the Dean of the Medicine God Academy.
In the villa, they saw Tian Xiong.
Tian Xiong was soaked in a semi-transparent liquid, almost unrecognizable.
At this time, Qing Wuya was constantly pouring special emulsion into the water.
And Huangfu Cheng stood on the side, looking gloomy.
"Is Teacher Tian okay?" Chen Fan came to Huangfu Cheng's side and asked worriedly.
Huangfu Cheng sighed and said: "The heart was penetrated, Dean Qing is treating him, hoping he will be okay."
"This..." Chen Fan was speechless for a while. He felt extremely uncomfortable in his heart. He didn't expect Tian Xiong's injury to be so heavy at all.
"The lucky thing is that the heart was only penetrated, not completely shattered. Dean Qing is still trying, the possibility of surviving is less than 30%."
"Less than 30%?!" The group's hearts sank, and their eyes instantly turned red.
Zhao Mingze even slapped himself heavily. Just a few minutes ago, he was still suspecting Tian Xiong.
Huangfu Cheng pulled Chen Fan to the side and sighed: "Tian Xiong returned to the National Martial Arts with his last breath. After returning, he fell into a coma, so do you know clearly what happened?"
Now that things had come to this, how could Chen Fan dare to have the slightest concealment? He told everything about the appearance of the white flood dragon to lure Tian Xiong away, the layout of the Jiang family, the experience of the group, and so on!
Huangfu Cheng listened to Chen Fan's account with suppressed anger. He didn't expect that the strongest few freshmen of this session were almost wiped out by someone.
"Your training was planned by Tian Xiong in advance, and the training content was finally reviewed and approved by the school's high-level officials. These things will not be disclosed to the public. Only the school's high-level officials have the right to know about this." Huangfu Cheng pondered and said.
"What about Zhao Qian? Does he know our training plan." Chen Fan asked. In his heart, Zhao Qian was the biggest suspect who planned this action.
"I know what you are thinking, he did participate in the discussion, but without evidence, I really don't want to easily suspect a teacher." Huangfu Cheng sighed.
"However, don't worry about this matter, I will definitely give you an explanation, and also give Tian Xiong an explanation." Huangfu Cheng said solemnly: "As for the Jiang family, the school will go to ask for an explanation. Jiang Chen's death is the Jiang family's own fault!!"
"Thank you, Teacher Huangfu." Chen Fan nodded and couldn't help but think of the conversation between Shuangmian and Lei Laosan, and hurriedly reminded: "The Beast Worship Cult may take the opportunity to provoke the dispute between us and the Jiang family. Should we put the questioning of the Jiang family aside for now."
The Jiang family has three eighth-tier Grandmasters. Although they cannot compete with the National Martial Arts
Huangfu Cheng shook his head gently and said, "The injury to Tian Xiong's heart was caused by a sharp weapon; it was definitely not just the work of a strange beast. Tian Xiong must have experienced something else. The Jiang family set a trap to kill a Grandmaster of our National Martial Arts University. Even if this matter reaches the top brass of Daxia, I will demand justice for Tian Xiong."
"Vice Principal Huangfu, I believe the person who severely injured Teacher Tian might not be the Jiang family," Chen Fan said after a moment of thought.
"The Jiang family was evasive during this operation, trying to use the strange beast ambush to cover up the truth of the matter. They clearly didn't want to blow things out of proportion, so there was no need for them to kill Teacher Tian."
"Oh? Your analysis is not without merit!" Huangfu Cheng realized with a start, "So, there is a third party who severely injured Tian Xiong!"
"So, who exactly is this person?" Huangfu Cheng fell into deep thought.
"It is either the Beast Worship Cult, or the person who leaked our training plan!" Chen Fan said decisively.
"The Beast Worship Cult has sufficient motive to kill Tian Xiong. Firstly, it could completely incite conflict between the National Martial Arts University and the Jiang family, and secondly, it could weaken the strength of the National Martial Arts University. If it was the person who leaked the information, this is also easy to understand; this person has a grudge against Tian Xiong and wants to get rid of him quickly!"
"I understand. You are still suspecting Zhao Qian, but after this analysis, his motive is indeed very strong!" Huangfu Cheng nodded and said, "Whether it is Zhao Qian, we will know once we test him!"
"In a while, I will announce to the public that Tian Xiong's condition has stabilized and he will wake up soon. If it really was Zhao Qian's doing, he will be worried that Tian Xiong might identify him and will certainly risk sneaking in here to finish Tian Xiong off."
After the two discussed the plan, Huangfu Cheng added, "Although Tian Xiong has fallen, your training plan cannot stop. Starting tomorrow, let Zhang Kun from the Sword God Academy serve as your temporary instructor. He is familiar with you, and I am at ease leaving you in his care."
"Understood!" Chen Fan nodded heavily.
After returning to the dormitory, Chen Fan immediately sought out Wen Hua; he wanted to know if the Nature Heart ability had any effect on repairing a heart.
Wen Hua said apologetically, "My ability level is too low. The life energy I provide is negligible for a Seventh-rank Grandmaster; I cannot help Teacher Tian."
Chen Fan sighed, feeling somewhat dejected. This result was within his expectations.
But Wen Hua's next words reignited his hope.
"Brother Fan, I know a senior whose ability is also Nature Heart. His strength is sufficient; if we could invite him here, treating Teacher Tian Xiong should be easy."
"Oh? Who is this person?" Chen Fan felt a surge of joy and asked hurriedly.
"A senior from the Miao people, surnamed Mo. I don't know his specific name!"
"Then do you have a way to find him?" Chen Fan asked anxiously.
"When I first awakened the Nature Heart ability, this senior came to find me. He wanted to take me as his disciple, but I would have had to go live in the deep mountains and old forests with him, so I refused. We haven't been in contact since..." Wen Hua said embarrassedly.
"This clue is very important. I will call Vice Principal Huangfu now and ask him to help inquire about the whereabouts of this senior." With hope, Chen Fan felt much more at ease.
