Chapter 51 - 49: Discharged from the Hospital

Geng Qianxing and Ding Huan were not around, while Fang Chong, Li Wanran, and Lv Zi were definitely going to enter one of the Blue Star Ten Great Colleges. Therefore, Fang Chong planned to visit the bookstore to buy some books on genetic cultivation so that he would not be completely clueless when he arrived at the Blue Star Ten Great Colleges. "Fang Chong." Fang Chong was browsing through books when someone suddenly tapped him on the shoulder. Who was it? Fang Chong quickly turned around. Fang Chong didn't recognize the person who had tapped him, nor did he care, since many strangers knew him now. "Come with me outside, I am Ding Huan," Ding Huan said before turning and leaving the bookstore first. Hearing the first part of the sentence, Fang Chong thought to himself, who are you to tell me to come outside? After hearing it was Ding Huan, he hurriedly put down the book in his hand and eagerly followed Ding Huan out. The girl who had entered the bookstore with Fang Chong saw him leave, put down her book, and became lost in thought as she watched Ding Huan's retreating figure. "Mr. Ding, is it really you?" Fang Chong asked excitedly as they walked out of the bookstore. Ding Huan nodded, "It is me. Tell me, did Mr. Geng say anything to you guys before he was captured?" "Was Mr. Geng really captured? We only knew he was missing; was he taken by the Genetic Alliance?" Fang Chong asked in rapid succession. Ding Huan then realized that Fang Chong knew nothing. He had no choice but to say, "Since you don't know, never mind. You all should be able to enter the Blue Star Ten Great Colleges, just focus on cultivating well once you're there." "Mr. Ding, can I follow you and learn from you afterward?" Fang Chong asked eagerly, looking at Ding Huan. Now he understood that Ding Huan's abilities were much stronger than those of the Blue Star Ten Great Colleges. Ding Huan patted Fang Chong on the shoulder again, "Staying by my side is unrealistic. I'm currently wanted, and I will have to go look for Mr. Geng soon. There's no point in you following me. Besides, I can't teach you anything new now. Just continue practicing what I have taught you before, and your strength will gradually increase. In the Blue Star Ten Great Colleges, you will have access to top resources, which is better than the uncertain life and death you would face with me." "Yes, Mr. Ding," Fang Chong's eyes dimmed, knowing that Ding Huan was telling the truth. "I'm leaving now; you don't need to tell Li Wanran and Lv Zi that I came," Ding Huan said and then turned to leave. "Mr. Ding, which college do you think I should enter?" Fang Chong quickly asked again. Ding Huan hesitated for a moment and then said, "It's best to stay in Hua Xia; it will aid your martial arts. Don't think that martial arts are inferior to genetic cultivation; at least on Earth, martial arts are not inferior to genetic cultivation." "Mr. Ding, the director of Martial Vein Mountain, Qin Qiang, invited us to join..." "If you want to join, then join... No, wait, not Martial Vein Mountain," Ding Huan instantly remembered that the power that was hunting him included Martial Vein Mountain. At that moment, Ding Huan remembered who the woman he had greeted earlier was; it was Qin Qiang, the director of Martial Vein Mountain. "Yeah, I'll listen to you. Oh right, Mr. Ding, I have a letter for you; it must be from Mr. Geng," Fang Chong remembered the letter left at the hotel. "I'll come with you to get it," Ding Huan said with joy. If Geng Qianxing had left a letter, it meant he 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 was marked "For Ding Huan." This handwriting doesn't quite look like Geng Qianxing's? Putting the letter into his pocket, Ding Huan took out a bottle from a two-horned fire lizard—an injury recovery genetic potion—and handed it to Fang Chong, "This is a genetic recovery potion for injuries; fuse with it tonight. It will help you recover much faster if you get injured." He had obtained two types of fire lizards and had concocted two types of injury recovery genetic potions. From the divine beast bloodline two-horned fire lizard gene, he had refined two doses. He had used one dose himself and had kept one for Qu Yi. He had managed to produce a bottle of a six-horned fire lizard injury recovery genetic potion, which was now useless to Ding Huan, so he casually gave it to Fang Chong. "Ah!" Fang Chong accepted the genetic potion with immense surprise, not expecting such a benefit. A genetic potion refined by Mr. Ding was incredibly valuable. "Fang Chong, I don't know when I'll be back to Lu River. Here's what, I'll teach you the later part of the Qian Luo Gene Technique." Ding Huan thought if Fang Chong reached the third-level gene cultivator and couldn't find him, wouldn't his cultivation progress stall? Fang Chong hadn't thought of this until now, when Ding Huan brought it up, he quickly agreed, "That would be really great, thank you, Mr. Ding, I promise I won't spread it around." Ding Huan smiled and didn't mind. Among the three students, he valued not Lv Zi who had already stepped into the first-level gene cultivator, nor the respectful and obedient Li Wanran, but the Fang Chong before him. With experiences from two lifetimes, Ding Huan was confident he wasn't misjudging. Fang Chong was someone who knew gratitude. As for having good aptitude and being obedient, what did that have to do with anything? Only those who felt gratitude were worth his attention. Already his physical condition had improved a lot due to Ding Huan's genetic potions, and coupled with Fang Chong's imminent entry into the first level of gene cultivators, his memory was far superior to ordinary people. The method of cultivation behind the Gene Technique only involved altering acupoints and the flow of energy through meridians; there were no significant changes. Thus, in just twenty minutes, Fang Chong had mastered the cultivation method of the Gene Technique that Ding Huan had described. "Mr. Ding, should I teach this to Lv Zi and Li Wanran?" Fang Chong asked. Ding Huan fell silent for a moment and said, "It's up to you. If you think it's appropriate to teach them, then do so. If you believe it's not worth teaching, you can also decide not to. After I leave, I'll focus on my cultivation. I estimate that the tide of Genetic Beasts will soon sweep through the major cities, and even the Blue Star Ten Great Colleges are not entirely safe. Being strong yourself is fundamental. Moreover, being at the Blue Star Ten Great Colleges, you might be the primary target. Also, I've been thinking about it, if you absolutely have to choose one of the Ten Great Colleges, then pick Da Han Yi Academy." "Ah, isn't Da Han Yi Academy ranked last?" Fang Chong exclaimed in surprise. Ding Huan chuckled, "Last place? Hehe, do you need their cultivation techniques or their resources?" "Yes, I have cultivation techniques; I just need resources," Fang Chong realized. "That's right. Also, Da Han Yi Academy is said to have originated from the Buddhist Sect. Watch out for whether they possess any martial techniques or skills that require inner Qi. These are the reasons for you to join Da Han Yi Academy. That's all the help I can offer you, goodbye." With that, Ding Huan quickly bid farewell to Fang Chong and left the hotel. Antonio was far too strong, and Ding Huan worried that being targeted by him would cause him to linger too long at Fang Chong's place. After receiving a letter, he planned to leave Puhai immediately. As soon as he left the hotel, Ding Huan opened the letter Geng Qianxing had given him. "Mr. Ding, please save Yi Yi; she was forcibly merged with an Alien Gene and is now in Ruiji Hospital on the brink of death..." Qu Fei. What's going on? Wasn't this letter left by Geng Qianxing? How did it turn into a plea for help for Qu Yi? Ding Huan soon realized that in this life, he had returned here and, although he had killed Chang Chongjin and Li Xing, changed Qu Yi's fate of being taken for gene experiments. But it wasn't completely altered; Qu Yi was still targeted by the Genetic Alliance. The problem most likely involved Boss Quan. The only difference this time was that Qu Yi had been rescued, but the rescued Qu Yi was hanging by a thread due to the integration of the Allogeneic Potion. Those bastards, Ding Huan thought angrily, turning around and speeding towards Ruiji Hospital. "Did Qu Yi get discharged?" When Ding Huan reached Qu Yi's hospital room, the answer he received made him uneasy. "May I know who her attending physician is?" Ding Huan wanted to find out exactly what was happening with Qu Yi. The nurse in the room pointed to an office diagonally across, "Doctor Guo." "Thanks," Ding Huan quickly reached Doctor Guo's office. "Are you Doctor Guo?" Ding Huan asked a young man sitting at a desk, scribbling with a pen. The young man looked up at Ding Huan, "What is it?" Ding Huan asked, "Doctor Guo, I am a friend of Qu Yi. May I know what's wrong with her? Was she moved because her condition worsened?" Doctor Guo simply said indifferently, "Sorry, no comment." Then he ignored Ding Huan and continued to scribble on the paper in front of him. Knowing he was too hasty in his questioning, Ding Huan softened his tone, pulled out a stack of money from his bag, "I really am Qu Yi's friend; please tell me what's wrong with her, where she has gone now. This is a token of appreciation." After saying that, he pushed the money toward Doctor Guo. The doctor with the surname Guo disdainfully glanced at the hundred thousand yuan in front of him, "If you don't leave now, don't blame me for calling security." "Are you a Genetic Superpower User?" Ding Huan, realizing something as he stared at Doctor Guo who had exceptionally abnormal aura fluctuations. Since he was a Genetic Superpower User, this guy might be from the Genetic Alliance. Thinking Qu Yi's current condition might be the work of the Genetic Alliance, Doctor Guo should know something about it. With that thought, Ding Huan grabbed the money back, forcefully grabbed Doctor Guo by the neck, and hoisted him up. Doctor Guo's feet left the ground, his mind filled with shock and fear. He was a Genetic Superpower User, yet this seemingly young individual had attacked him, and he was completely unable to fight back. Now that his throat was being choked, aside from his face turning beet red, he couldn't utter a word. Ding Huan casually tossed Doctor Guo onto the ground and said coldly, "You have one more chance to tell the truth, otherwise, you will never need to speak again." "Cough cough... I'll tell you, she was forcibly merged with some type of Alien Gene, then her gene sequence fractured..." "What kind of Alien Gene?" "I really don't know; I didn't do anything to her, she was beyond saving and wanted to leave by herself." "Where did she go?" "I only know her home address, whether she went back there, I don't know..." After obtaining Qu Yi's home address, Ding Huan straightforwardly slashed Doctor Guo with a Wind Blade. Not everyone in the Genetic Alliance deserved to die; in fact, most people there were decent, but Ding Huan just couldn't stand Doctor Guo.
