Evolving infinitely from ground zero

Chapter 255: 172. Fox Demon Stealing Home

Leaving the weapons room, Lin Zichen accompanied Shen Qinghan to the special training room downstairs.

The special training room was locked at the moment, not open to the public.

But that was not a problem for Lin Zichen.

With only a slight effort, he quickly cracked the passcode lock on the door and stealthily infiltrated it.

“Zi Chen, wouldn’t it be wrong for us to come in without permission?”

Shen Qinghan timidly expressed her concern, her pretty face full of worry.

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

Lin Zichen: “Don’t worry, I came in because I wanted to use the Qi Blood Capsule and the Spirit Cabin here, and even if we’re discovered, it won’t be a big deal.”

Sneaking in just to use the Qi Blood Capsule and Spirit Cabin?

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

“You guessed right, how smart.”

Lin Zichen smiled and snapped his fingers.

Shen Qinghan immediately became interested, her voice filled with curiosity, “Zi Chen, you are so strong, I wonder how high your limit is?”

“Level 11? Level 12? Or even level 13?”

“Hmm, it must be especially high!”

Shen Qinghan had full confidence in Lin Zichen.

Lin Zichen smiled and said, “You’re overestimating me, level 11 is about right. Level 13 is at the High Level Fourth Rank, and I’m not that strong.”

Shen Qinghan looked up to him in admiration, “Level 11 is super impressive too, it’s equivalent to an Advanced Second Rank. As far as I know, the president of the student union is around this level, and he’s a senior while you’re just a freshman, you’re practically invincible.”

“You have such a sweet mouth, I’ll have to properly savor it when we get back to the dorms tonight.”

Lin Zichen said smilingly as he pinched Shen Qinghan’s cherry lips.

Afterward, he stopped wasting time and quickly stopped in front of a Qi Blood Capsule.

He didn’t rush to test right away.

Instead, he used his spiritual power to shield the surveillance of that spot and disconnect the network of the Qi Blood Capsule.

After completing all this, he entered the capsule to conduct the test.

Having undergone the Body Refining process three times, his body’s strength was roughly at an Advanced Second Rank.

If converted to the Qi Blood Capsule’s training intensity, that would be level 11.

Thinking this, Lin Zichen adjusted the training intensity on the display to level 11 and clicked to start the training.

The intensity at level 11 was very high.

But throughout the process, he didn’t feel any discomfort.

He was fully able to withstand it.

He could even do squats inside the Qi Blood Capsule.

It was very easy for him.

Since the training at level 11 was effortless, why not try level 12?

Lin Zichen swiftly adjusted the training intensity to level 12.

When the numbers on the display changed to 12, the pressure inside the capsule surged dramatically.

It was more than ten times the intensity of level 11.

Although Lin Zichen had mentally prepared himself, when the pressure suddenly spiked, he was still crushed to the point of bending over, as if carrying a mountain on his back, his face twisted in pain.

[You are experiencing severe Qi-Blood turbulence, Qi-Blood +78+76+81+82+79…]

1 second, 2 seconds, 3 seconds… 31 seconds.

So heavy!

I can’t hold on any longer!

Lin Zichen persevered for 31 seconds, feeling as if his veins were about to explode, and had no choice but to press the display to terminate the test.

The intensity of level 11 was no pressure, and he could endure half a minute at level 12 intensity.

Such data indicated that his physical strength was infinitely close to a High-Level Third Rank; otherwise, he couldn’t have withstood half a minute in a level 12 intensity Qi Blood Capsule.

Overall, it was quite satisfactory.

Lin Zichen was very pleased with the strength of his body.

After all, his Biological Level was only an Ordinary Ninth Rank, yet his body’s strength had already reached an impressively high Advanced Second Rank.

There was no reason not to be satisfied.

After testing his physical strength.

Lin Zichen didn’t waste any time and swiftly entered a Spirit Cabin in the same manner to test his mental strength.

He had always had a clear understanding of his physical strength.

However, his mental strength was a bit vague to him; he wasn’t sure what level it belonged to.

Therefore, during the test, he was very cautious.

He started from an intensity of level 8 and slowly increased it level by level.

In the end, he found his limit was level 10.

He did attempt to challenge level 11, but he couldn’t even last a mere three seconds before nearly passing out in the Spirit Cabin.

With that, the test results were confirmed.

Physical strength at Advanced Second Rank, infinitely close to a High-Level Third Rank.

Mental strength at an Advanced First Rank.

Lin Zichen had anticipated this outcome.

After starting college, he’d been practicing the Blood Tempering Technique with high intensity, hence the physical strength was naturally higher.

On the other hand, since starting college, he had hardly done any math problems or reading.

No matter, he’d just have to eat more meat related to spiritual power from Exotic Beasts, and his spiritual power would quickly improve.

Besides, a mental strength reaching an Advanced First Rank, in fact, had a much higher value than being close to a High-Level Third Rank in physical strength.

After all, improving mental strength far outweighs the enhancement of physical strength.

Many Advanced-level Creatures also have mental strength around the Ordinary Fourth Order.

Those that are more impressive are around the Ordinary Ninth Rank.

To have an Advanced First Rank mental strength, the Advanced-level Creature, to put it bluntly, must start at least from High-Level Seventh Rank.

…

At the same time

Shanhai University.

Inner campus.

A charming girl with a pair of fluffy pure white fox ears on her head and a similarly snow-white fox tail behind her was strolling leisurely around the living area, curiously gazing at everything.

Wherever she passed by, she attracted a lot of attention from people around.

“That girl is so beautiful.”

“Such high beauty, feels like she can match Shen Qinghan from the genius freshman class.”

“Strange, why have I never seen such a beautiful girl before?”

“Has someone had plastic surgery?”

“Her tail is so white, and the ears look so fluffy; they seem like they’d feel nice to touch. I wonder what Exotic Beast Gene she has merged with.”

“Even Zhou, the top student, can’t recognize what Exotic Beast Gene it is, then it must be an extremely rare one.”

The passersby were all discussing the girl, very curious about her identity.

The girl paid no attention to the discussions around her, keeping her focus on observing everything about her, finding each blade of grass on Earth intriguing.

Along the way, several boys tried to strike up a conversation with her.

These boys approached full of confidence.

But when they stopped in front of the girl, they somehow all turned mute.

Without uttering a word, they would leave with a dazed expression on their faces.

Finally, under the gaze of passersby, the girl walked into a supermarket.

…

“Boss, are the grapes in front of you sweet?”

In the supermarket, the girl asked while standing in front of a fruit stall.

The female boss was very enthusiastic, “Of course they’re sweet, I won’t charge you if they’re not.”

“Then never mind, I prefer sour grapes.”

After finishing her sentence, the girl looked at the peaches behind the boss and said with a pleasant voice, “Boss, are those peaches sweet?”

The female boss smiled, “The flavor is a mix of sour and sweet, definitely to your liking. Want to try some?”

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

“You sure have unique tastes…”

The female boss couldn’t help the slight twitch of her mouth.

Soon, the girl pointed at the loquats beneath the stall and said with a playful tone, “Boss, are these loquats sweet?”

The boss’s enthusiasm had faded, her smile gone as she replied, “These loquats range from sour to sweet—you can find any flavor you like. Want some?”

The girl waved her hand dismissively, “I don’t like eating loquats, just asking.”

Lines of frustration instantly crossed the boss’s face.

That upset her?

She’s not very composed.

How dull…

Losing interest in teasing, the girl elegantly extended her slender, pale, delicate hand, picked up a large bunch of bananas, and placed them on the scale, smiling brightly,

“Boss, how much?”

“Eighteen yuan.”

The female boss glanced at the weight on the scale, her face devoid of cheer.

Like a magician, the girl conjured a crisp one-hundred-yuan note out of nowhere and handed it to the boss with a charming smile, “Keep the change.”

The money was from a divine envoy of the Divine Plant Cult.

Not only did he give her money to spend, but he had also patiently taught her a lot of common knowledge, allowing her to blend into Earth’s human society well.

“Such a generous lady!”

The female boss received the one-hundred-yuan note with a beaming smile, her fleeting dissatisfaction with the girl dissolved instantly.

That’s the benefit of selling in the inner campus area.

One often encounters wealthy and generous students who spend without a second thought, as if money were dirt.

“Boss, where is Zhongyuan Building No. 8?”

The girl continued to eat the banana as she softly asked.

The voice sounded so sweet and a bit coquettish; it could melt a person’s bones.

The female boss grinned, “Go out, turn left, walk about a hundred meters or so, and you’ll see a cafeteria. The building diagonally across from the cafeteria is Zhongyuan Building No. 8.”

After learning the location, the girl left the supermarket.

As the girl disappeared into the distance, the shop owner felt a twinge of curiosity.

Why wouldn’t she know where Zhongyuan Building No. 8 is?

Could she not be a student from Shanhai University?

Well, she must be some school leader’s relative brought onto campus…the female boss thought to herself.

…

Zhongyuan Building No. 8.

Room 603.

The girl stood in front of the dormitory door, her spiritual power radiating out to sense the interior, finding no one inside.

Where could they be?

Are they at the Pure Human Research Institute?

With that thought, the girl leaped down from the corridor, landing gently on the ground.

Afterwards, she headed towards the campus road and casually asked a passerby, “Excuse me, could you tell me where the Pure Human Research Institute is?”

“It’s, it’s over there. Go straight for about five hundred meters, then turn right… and you’ll be there,” the boy stammered as he gave directions to the girl.

The girl was so beautiful, speaking to her made him feel a lot of pressure.

…

It didn’t take long for the girl to find the Pure Human Research Institute.

She stood at the entrance, her spiritual power sensing the area.

Then her delicate eyebrows slightly furrowed.

Not there either?

Where has he gone?

That person clearly told me that he goes back and forth daily between the dorm and the institute.

I should ask someone inside…

With that thought, the girl walked into the research institute at a leisurely pace.

She quietly approached Song Yuyan, who was immersed in her research, and gently asked, “Excuse me, do you know where Lin Zichen is?”

Song Yuyan, who was focused on her research, jumped at the sudden sound of someone speaking behind her.

She jumped up immediately, turning to stare at the unfamiliar girl and asked suspiciously,

“Who are you?!”

“How did you get in here?!”

“Who let you in?!”

Song Yuyan was very nervous, ready to defend herself.

Considering she was an Ordinary Ninth Rank in terms of Biological Level, she was terrified that she had completely failed to notice when the girl appeared behind her.

Seeing her emotional instability, the girl couldn’t be bothered with a normal conversation anymore.

Her eyes flashed a strange purple light.

In an instant, she took control of Song Yuyan’s consciousness.

She then asked gently once more, “Where is Lin Zichen?”

“He’s at the Nanjiang Provincial Military Region Headquarters,” Song Yuyan replied dully.

The girl persisted, “Where is the Nanjiang Provincial Military Region Headquarters?”

“I don’t know.”

“Who would know?”

“The dean might know.”

“Who is the dean, and where can I find him?”

“The dean went to enjoy himself with his old flame. He should be back at the research institute either tonight or tomorrow morning.”

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

With those words, the girl left the research institute, sauntering away with a sultry gait.

As she left,

Song Yuyan gradually regained her consciousness soon after being controlled by the girl.

“What happened to me?”

With a bewildered face, Song Yuyan looked around, unable to recall what had just taken place.
