We agreed on mecha battles, but you're relying on your life force to become a god?

Chapter 30 The Secret of Consort Lü Mu

"There's something else about classmate Lü Mufei that I'm sure you all don't know."

Shen Shuang's gaze fell on the slender figure at the door, filled with appreciation and approval.

"Student Lü Mufei, you actually awakened the power of Void Element two months ago, but you haven't announced it to the public. I only recently received the information."

"What?"

These words were met with a low murmur in the classroom.

"It awakened two months ago?"

"Then she's been hiding it all along?"

"He awakened his Void Essence and kept it hidden. He could have directly entered the Yuanpei Class, and he could have kept his identity a secret. His composure is truly astonishing..."

Wang Xing sat in his seat, completely stunned.

No wonder she was so secretive before, no wonder she was so sure she could get into the Yuanpei Class with me. It turns out everything was foreshadowed all along.

But the problem is...

Why did it awaken two months ago, and only arrive now?

Even if he tried his best, even if he used that method, the gap was still there like a chasm.

"Dad, Mom."

Sun Donglai suddenly stood up and said calmly, "In order to prepare for the college entrance examination, I won't be coming back to live here for a while. I'm going to live with my grandfather. It's quieter there and more suitable for my study and cultivation."

The smiles on the parents' faces froze for a moment. They looked at their son, thought for a moment, and then agreed.

Half an hour later.

Sun Donglai left home with a simple bag on his back.

"Da Yong".

As Li Xiulan watched Sun Donglai leave, the smile on her face gradually faded, turning into a trace of worry. "I always feel... Donglai hasn't been acting quite right lately."

Sun Dayong looked up: "What's wrong?"

"He gave up the gluttony method." Li Xiulan lowered her voice, her gaze falling on Sun Donglai's tightly closed door: "He had been practicing the Qi and Blood Assistance Method for more than two years, and he just gave it up like that... Donglai said he found a new cultivation assistance method, and the effect is good, and his grades have improved quickly, but I still feel a little uneasy."

"Look how much weight he's lost lately! He used to be so chubby, now his features are all angular. And he looks so gloomy, he talks less, and he smiles less..."

Sun Dayong put down the report card, remained silent for a moment, and sighed: "Xiulan, we really don't understand anything about mecha, but the results speak for themselves. 792 points, 125th on the leaderboard, that's real progress."

"As parents, we can't let our children down..."

"I know that, but it still hurts my heart."

Li Xiulan lowered her head, her eyes slightly red: "Seeing him so tired and so thin, it feels like my heart is being pricked by needles. Dayong, do you think we're asking too much of him? Even if he doesn't get into mecha university, isn't it good enough that he's healthy?"

Sun Dayong took out his cigarette case, pulled out a cigarette, put it back in, and finally just sighed heavily.

"Actually, I feel sorry for him too..."

"But Donglai is determined, and we can't stop him. We can only hope that he can get through this and make it through."

"We've finally made it..."

……

In the hallway outside the room, Sun Donglai, dressed in a black hoodie, was leaning against the wall.

He heard his parents' words clearly.

He remained silent for a long time, his eyes reddening. He pulled down the brim of his black hoodie to cover half his face, then turned and disappeared into the dark stairwell.

…………

"Splash—!"

The white roller shutter door was pulled down with a click, shutting out the noise from outside.

The interior of the modified room was pitch black until Sun Donglai pressed the switch on the wall, and a pale white light came on, illuminating the parts scattered on the floor.

I've seen your grades.

When Meng Rui saw Sun Donglai, he said in a hoarse voice, "You've made very rapid progress, especially in mecha and combat, where you've improved by nearly 200 points... It seems my art has been very successful in your case."

"The school already knows that I used the Rifthound to modify my mecha."

Sun Donglai took a hard drive out of his bag, placed it on the table, and said expressionlessly, "Their lack of action and warnings means the modification itself is legal... but they must have already placed me under special scrutiny. Do I still have a chance to participate in the Hundred Schools Competition?"

"This is a dead end. If you don't demonstrate the aberration modification, you can't prove your combat skills. If you do demonstrate the aberration modification, the school won't send you as a special student to represent the school in the Hundred Schools Competition," Meng Rui said.

"What should we do then?"

Sun Donglai frowned: "I want to serve the league, and I want to showcase myself in the Hundred Schools Competition."

"Hehe." Meng Rui chuckled twice: "There are many geniuses in the Hundred Schools Competition. You have only just joined us. Even if you improve rapidly, you cannot suppress those geniuses. What you need to do now is wait and lie low."

"You mean... my stage is the provincial civil service exam in March?" A dark flame burned in Sun Donglai's eyes.

"That's right. But you need to do well in the joint entrance exam of 100 schools. If you score above the cutoff, you can register for the provincial exam. Above the provincial exam, you hold the power of killing. That is the battlefield you should dominate."

Sun Donglai frowned, pondered for a moment, and then said, "Then during this period, I need to improve rapidly."

"Before the provincial exam, I want to possess the power to suppress everyone and become the most dazzling presence!"

"And soon, I will possess the power to surpass Wang Xing and Bai Lingxue in the intra-school battlefield of the Hundred Schools Joint Examination."

Sun Donglai's eyes reddened.

My desire for power burst through my body as if it were a tangible force.

"hehe."

"I understand. It seems you came here today to undergo genetic modification right now."

Meng Rui chuckled. He saw through Sun Donglai's purpose and walked to the worktable, opening a constant temperature incubator.

Inside lay a dark blue capsule labeled "Hound Dog Gene Extract (β type)".

Meng Rui picked up the capsule. "This is a lightweight gene fusion I prepared for you. It can not only improve the quality of your Qi and blood, but also greatly enhance your nerve reaction speed and explosive power..."

"But your body can't handle it right now."

Sun Donglai frowned.

"I asked you to give up your gluttonous diet in order to clear the impurities from your body and rebuild your blood and energy environment. But although your blood and energy level has increased, its purity is far from sufficient."

"If you get the injection now, your gene chain will break down. Your immune system will treat the mutated gene as an invader, causing a systemic gene collapse. At best, you will be paralyzed; at worst, you will turn into a pool of blood."

Sun Donglai's pupils contracted slightly, but his expression remained unchanged.

"How long will it take?"

"At least one month."

Meng Rui placed the capsule back in the refrigerator, his tone leaving no room for argument, "For the next month, you must strictly follow the methods and resources I give you to cultivate, improve the quality of your Qi and blood, and reach level 8. Only by reaching this standard can your genetic structure withstand the mutated factors of the Bone-Splitting Dog, instead of being devoured by it."

Sun Donglai remained silent and slowly nodded.
