Leaving the weapon room, Lin Zichen brought Shen Qinghan to the special training room downstairs.

At this time, the special training room was locked and not open to the public.

But that couldn’t stop Lin Zichen.

With just a slight move, he quickly cracked the password lock on the door and slipped inside with ease.

“Xiao Chen, isn’t it kind of bad for us to sneak in like this?”

Shen Qinghan looked timid, her pretty face full of worry.

She was afraid that sneaking in like this would get them discovered and punished.

Lin Zichen said, “Don’t worry, I just came in to use the Vitality Pod and Mind Pod, even if we get caught it’s no big deal.”

‘Sneak in just to use the Vitality Pod and Mind Pod?’

Shen Qinghan thought for a moment and asked, “Do you want to secretly test your limits?”

“You guessed right, so smart.”

Lin Zichen smiled and snapped his fingers.

Shen Qinghan’s interest was piqued, her voice full of curiosity, “Xiao Chen, you’re so strong, I wonder just how high your limit is? Level 11? Level 12? Maybe even Level 13? Mm, really high!”

Shen Qinghan had absolute confidence in Lin Zichen.

Lin Zichen laughed, “You’re overestimating me, Level 11 is about right. Level 13 is at the Advanced Tier 4, I’m not that strong.”

Shen Qinghan’s face was full of admiration, “Level 11 is already amazing, that’s equivalent to Advanced Tier 2. From what I know, even the Student Union President is only at that level. He’s a senior, you’re just a freshman, that’s practically invincible.”

“You’ve got such a sweet mouth, I’ll have to taste it properly when we’re back at the dorm tonight.”

Lin Zichen pinched Shen Qinghan’s rosy lips with a grin.

After that, he didn’t waste time and quickly stopped in front of a Vitality Pod.

He didn’t rush in to test.

Instead, he used his Spiritual Power to block the surveillance in this area and disconnected the Vitality Pod from the network.

Only after he had done all this did he enter the pod to start testing.

His body, after three rounds of Body Tempering, had a strength equivalent to Advanced Tier 2.

In terms of Vitality Pod training strength, that was Level 11.

Thinking this, Lin Zichen set the training strength on the display to Level 11 and tapped start.

Level 11 training strength was high.

But he felt no discomfort at all.

He could endure it completely.

He could even do squats inside the Vitality Pod.

Totally at ease.

Since Level 11 training strength was no problem, he decided to try Level 12.

Soon, Lin Zichen increased the training strength to Level 12.

As the display changed to 12, the pressure in the pod suddenly surged.

Compared to Level 11, it was more than ten times stronger.

Even though Lin Zichen had mentally prepared himself, when the pressure spiked, his body bent down under the weight as if he carried a mountain on his back, his face full of pain.

[You are enduring violent vitality turbulence, Vitality +78 +76 +81 +82 +79……]

‘1 second, 2 seconds, 3 seconds… 31 seconds. So heavy! Can’t hold on!’

Lin Zichen forced himself through 31 seconds, feeling as though his blood vessels were about to burst, before he had no choice but to tap the screen to end the test.

Level 11 training was effortless, Level 12 he could last half a minute.

Such results meant his body strength was infinitely close to Advanced Tier 3, otherwise it would be impossible to withstand Level 12 Vitality Pod pressure for half a minute.

Lin Zichen was quite satisfied with his physical strength.

After all, his Biological Level was only at Ordinary Tier 9, yet his body strength was already at Advanced Tier 2.

No reason to be dissatisfied.

After testing his physical strength.

Lin Zichen went into a Mind Pod to test in the same way.

He had always had a clear grasp of his body strength.

But when it came to spiritual strength, he was uncertain of the exact level.

So he was very cautious in testing.

Starting from Level 8, he slowly increased the level one step at a time.

In the end, his limit was Level 10.

He tried challenging Level 11, but couldn’t last even three seconds, nearly passing out in the Mind Pod.

Thus, the test results were clear.

Body strength: Advanced Tier 2, infinitely close to Advanced Tier 3.

Spiritual strength: Advanced Tier 1.

This result didn’t surprise Lin Zichen.

After entering university, he had been cultivating the Blood-Tempering Art at high intensity, so naturally his body strength was higher.

By contrast, after starting university, he hardly did any math problems or read books.

But that was fine, as long as he devoured the flesh of aberrant beasts related to Spiritual Power, his spirit would rise quickly.

In fact, Advanced Tier 1 spiritual strength was worth far more than body strength close to Advanced Tier 3.

Because spiritual strength grew far faster than physical strength.

Many advanced creatures only had spiritual strength around Ordinary Tier 4.

The stronger ones might reach Ordinary Tier 9.

Having Advanced Tier 1 spiritual strength meant, without exaggeration, that your Biological Level had to be at least Advanced Tier 7.

At the same time.

Shanhai University.

Inner campus.

A beautiful girl with a pair of fluffy pure white fox ears on her head and a matching snow-white tail behind her strolled leisurely through the residential quarter, curiously observing everything.

Everywhere she passed, she drew countless gazes.

“She’s so pretty.”

“Her looks are amazing, she could even rival Shen Qinghan from the freshman gifted class.”

“Strange, how come I’ve never seen such a gorgeous girl before?”

“Could it be plastic surgery?”

“Her tail is so white, her ears so fluffy, they look so soft to touch. I wonder what kind of aberrant beast genes she fused with.”

“Even you, Top Student Zhou, can’t recognize it? Then it must be some extremely rare aberrant beast.”

The bystanders whispered about the girl, curious about her identity.

The girl ignored them, simply enjoying everything around her, fascinated by every little thing of Earth.

Several boys tried to approach her.

But each one, confident at first, turned mute when standing in front of her, then walked away in a daze without saying a word.

Under the watchful eyes of the crowd, the girl eventually entered a supermarket.

“Boss, are your grapes sweet?”

Inside the supermarket, the girl stood before a fruit stand.

The female shopkeeper said warmly, “Of course, if they’re not sweet you don’t have to pay.”

“Then forget it, I like my grapes sour.”

Then she asked sweetly, “Boss, how about those peaches behind you, are they sweet?”

The shopkeeper smiled, “They’re a perfect balance of sweet and sour, just right for you. Want to buy some?”

The girl shook her head, “No, I only like sweet peaches.”

“What a unique taste you have…”

The shopkeeper’s smile twitched slightly.

Soon the girl pointed at the loquats below, playfully asking, “Boss, are your loquats sweet?”

The shopkeeper, no longer smiling, said flatly, “Some are sweet, some are sour, we’ve got all kinds. Do you want some?”

The girl waved her hand, “No, I don’t like loquats, I was just asking.”

The shopkeeper’s face went dark.

‘Getting angry already? So impatient. Boring…’

The girl lost interest in teasing her, then gracefully picked up a large bunch of bananas, placed them on the scale and smiled.

“Boss, how much?”

“18 yuan.”

The shopkeeper glanced at the weight and said sourly.

Like a magician, the girl conjured up a crisp hundred-yuan bill and generously handed it over, smiling, “Keep the change.”

This money had been given to her by the Divine Plant Cult’s messenger.

Not only did he give her money to spend, he also patiently taught her much common knowledge so she could blend into human society.

“What a generous young lady!”

The shopkeeper’s smile returned instantly, her displeasure vanishing.

This was the perk of selling inside the inner campus.

The students were either rich or noble, always spending lavishly.

“Boss, where’s Zhongyuan Building 8?”

The girl asked sweetly while eating a banana.

Her voice was so delicate and soft it could melt bones.

The shopkeeper said, smiling, “Turn left when you leave, walk about a hundred meters, you’ll see a canteen. The building opposite that is Zhongyuan Building 8.”

After learning the location, the girl left the supermarket.

Watching her leave, the shopkeeper thought to herself.

‘Why wouldn’t she know where Zhongyuan Building 8 is? Could it be she’s not a Shanhai University student? Probably some relative of the school leaders…’

* * *

Zhongyuan Building 8.

Dorm 603.

The girl stood at the dorm door, extended her Spiritual Power to sense inside and found it empty.

‘Where had he gone? Was he at the Pure Human Institute?’

Thinking this, the girl leapt lightly from the corridor, landing softly, then walked toward the campus road.

She stopped a passerby and asked, “Excuse me, do you know where the Pure Human Institute is?”

The boy stammered, “O-over there, go straight for about five hundred meters, then turn right… then you’ll see it.”

The girl was too beautiful, making him nervous to speak.

Not long after, the girl found the Pure Human Institute.

She stood at the entrance, sensing inside with her Spiritual Power.

Her slender brows furrowed.

‘Not there either? Where could he have gone? He clearly told me he only goes between his dorm and the research institute. Guess I’ll ask inside…’

She walked in slowly.

In the research room, Song Yuyan was focused on her work when the girl softly asked from behind, “Hello, do you know where Lin Zichen is?”

Startled, Song Yuyan jumped up and spun around, staring warily at the stranger.

“Who are you?! How did you get in?! Who allowed you in?!”

Song Yuyan’s heart pounded as she prepared to act at any moment.

Her Biological Level was Ordinary Tier 9, yet she hadn’t noticed this girl’s presence at all until she spoke—sending chills down her spine.

The girl, seeing her nervous state, didn’t bother to explain.

Her eyes flashed with strange purple light.

Instantly, Song Yuyan’s consciousness was seized.

The girl softly asked, “Where is Lin Zichen?”

“At the Southern River Province Military District Headquarters.”

Song Yuyan answered blankly.

“Where is the Southern River Province Military District Headquarters?”

“I don’t know.”

“Who knows?”

“The dean might know.”

“Who is the dean, where is he?”

“He went off with his lover, he should return tonight or tomorrow morning.”

“Alright, then I’ll come back tonight.”

Leaving those words, the girl swayed her hips as she walked out of the institute.

Soon after she left.

Song Yuyan gradually came back to her senses.

“What just happened?”

She looked around in confusion, unable to recall anything.
