Sylvia's Unease

For the next period of time, Fan Xinglu did indeed become Fang Li's sparring partner. In addition to having Fang Li carry out the daily training courses, they had to spar every night before going to bed.

The results of the sparring were encouraging.

Because Fan Xinglu will adjust her power according to Fang Li's strength.

Sometimes it's to let Fang Li experience fighting against an opponent stronger than himself, so that he can unleash his full power and completely overwhelm Fang Li.

Sometimes, in order to match Fang Li's progress, they suppress their own strength and engage in a war of attrition with Fang Li.

Fan Xinglu seemed to have envisioned all sorts of battle scenarios, constantly adjusting her strength based on her own abilities to meet Fang Li's challenge.

Unfortunately, Fang Li never won against Fan Xinglu even once.

In the end, Fan Xinglu even allowed Fang Li to use his Mystic Eyes of Death Perception in battle, but Fang Li couldn't even touch Fan Xinglu's clothes.

Even in Fang Li of her greatest strengths—speed and agility— Fan Xinglu far surpasses Fang Li, and is currently no match for Fang Li at all.

As these days progressed, Fang Li began to doubt just how strong Fan Xinglu really was at her peak.

I bet no more than a handful of people in the world know the answer to this question.

Of course, Fang Li and Fan Xinglu's sparring session didn't last long either.

About a week later, an anonymous text message brought Fang Li to the end of his school life.

The message reads as follows.

"The matter has been taken care of. Please come to the treatment center."

Upon seeing this, Fang Li knew who had sent the text message.

So, Fang Li notified Sylvia, and after meeting up with Sylvia, they went to the treatment center.

Matthias was waiting at the entrance of the treatment center.

"Gentlemen, we've been waiting for you for a long time."

Matthias smiled at Fang Li and Sylvia, and as before, got straight to the point.

"Anyway, come inside with me first."

As soon as he finished speaking, Matthias went into the treatment center first.

Just as Fang Li was about to follow, someone suddenly grabbed the back of his clothes.

Immediately afterwards, a forehead was pressed against Fang Li's back, revealing some uneasy words.

"Ursula... has something happened to her?"

Fang Li stopped in Fang Li tracks, feeling the touch of the girl's forehead against his back, and for a moment he didn't know what to say.

There's no way around it; this is a treatment center, a place equipped with witches and Magus with healing abilities, specializing in curing intractable diseases that cannot be cured by science.

Matthias chose such a place to return Ursula, which makes one wonder if something had happened to Ursula.

Therefore, Fang Li did not turn around, but only said this sentence.

"It's alright. As long as the person isn't dead, it's not bad news, is it?"

This is something Sylvia once said.

"...Yes." Sylvia took a deep breath, and a smile finally returned to her face. She murmured, "That's true."

"Let's go." Fang Li smiled slightly and said to Sylvia, "Let's go in and see your teacher."

Sylvia nodded heavily.

Immediately afterwards, Fang Li and Sylvia followed Matthias into the treatment center.

The hospital is divided into a main building, which is a high-rise building for diagnosis and treatment, and an inpatient building connected by corridors.

Matthias led Fang Li and Sylvia directly into the hospital building and arrived at a ward.

"Click..."

With a slight opening of the door, Matthias and his group entered the ward together.

The wards here are just like those in a regular hospital, there's no difference.

In the center of the ward, on a hospital bed, a person lay asleep, breathing rhythmically.

"Ursula...!"

Sylvia, unable to hide her emotions, stepped forward to the bedside and took Ursula's hand.

The hand that slipped into her palm was colder than she had imagined, making Sylvia's heart sink.

Sylvia then turned to Matthias, staring intently at him, and asked in a low voice, "How is Ursula?"

"It's nothing, just as I said before, she just hasn't been able to wake up yet." Matthias said in a reassuring tone, "We've already done a mental examination on her, and there's nothing seriously wrong. We just don't know when she'll wake up. In the doctor's words, she's sleeping too deeply. If there are no unexpected events, she'll naturally wake up in time."

"It's taking a long time?" Sylvia asked quickly, "How long will it take?"

"It would take at least six months, and at most two or three years," Matthias said. "In any case, Valda did not cause Ursula any mental trauma, so nothing you didn't want to see happened."

"Really?" Sylvia breathed a sigh of relief, holding Ursula's hand tightly, gazing at Ursula's sleeping face, somewhat lost in thought.

Seeing Sylvia like this, Fang Li lowered his voice and said to Matthias, "Let's go outside and talk."

Matthias naturally had no objection and nodded directly.

Outside the ward, Fang Li and Matthias stood side by side, but a distance between them.

Matthias spoke first.

"Sorry, it took a little time."

With a gentle expression, Matthias said, "After all, she is a stranger who has never appeared in the sunlight before. If we just let her stay in the treatment center, it will definitely arouse suspicion. So, to be on the safe side, we have made some arrangements."

In other words, if it weren't for getting Ursula into the treatment center, Matthias could have been handed over directly to Fang Li and Sylvia, without going through all this trouble.

But Matthias did just that, clearly trying to curry favor with Fang Li.

"In addition, I also brought what you wanted."

Matthias said, "I've gone to great lengths to get you what you want."

As he said this, Matthias took a metal box out of his body.

Looking at the metal box, Fang Li seemed to know what was inside and took it very casually.

Fang Li then opened the metal box.

The next moment, beams of brilliant light shone out from inside the metal box.

Inside the metal box, on a black cushion, lay pieces of multicolored gemstones, radiating a captivating glow.

It is indeed the Omni-element Crystal.
