Body Check

After returning to his office, Teacher Zede relaxed as if he were home, his movements becoming large and even exaggerated, as if deliberately showing off for the surveillance cameras.

He also enthusiastically introduced his 'home'.

"The [Corpse Storage Room] and [Medicine Warehouse] are off-limits because there are dangerous things inside. Academy regulations state that only I can access them.

Furthermore, you must get my permission before going to my room or the laboratory.

You are free to move around in all other areas."

Zede led Yi Chen to an empty room.

"This room isn't really used for anything at the moment. Sometimes, if the corpse materials pile up too much and there's no space elsewhere, the excess will be temporarily stored here.

If the special training runs too late, you can just stay here."

"Okay... Okay."

Staring at the dark, cramped temporary corpse storage room before him, Yi Chen nodded with some awkwardness.

Just then, A pair of steady, powerful, yet cold and eerie hands landed on Yi Chen's shoulders.

"Professor Chamberson is one of the few people in this academy who has treated me well.

It's precisely because he cast his 'opposing vote' back then that I received protection from the school and wasn't dragged to face Zion's judgment.

So, Since it's his request, I will treat it as my 'main job' and do my utmost to develop and improve your [Physical Body].

Your performance at the start of the class was excellent, but you didn't showcase your body's potential.

Therefore, before I tailor a special training program specifically for you, I must 'deeply understand' your physical structure… Come on, I can hardly wait."

Splat!

A blob of saliva landed on Yi Chen's shoulder.

Zede appeared extremely excited at this moment.

His Adam's apple bobbed up and down, and saliva continued to seep from the corners of his mouth.

Although he had anticipated something unpleasant, Yi Chen still followed Teacher Zede to his laboratory... or rather, a [Human Body Laboratory].

The Living Corpses previously used for teaching had all been processed here.

The tungsten lamps hummed, and a few extra candles were lit to provide more light.

A surgical table, still unwashed and stained, was placed in the center.

Some removed 'rotting eyeballs' rolled on the floor, and even Little Grape showed no interest.

"Class was a bit rushed today, I didn't have time to clean up. Don't mind it."

"Okay... I guess."

After Zede grudgingly wiped the sticky liquid off the surgical table with a large rag, he made a rather gentlemanly gesture of "Invitation." "If there are no issues, hurry up and lie down."

"Okay."

Yi Chen had long known of Zede's dangerous nature. Staring at the surgical table before him, he could almost guess what 'deep understanding' meant.

Hoo... He took a deep breath.

At the same time, he glanced at the laboratory's surveillance, confirming that the eyeballs in the corner were watching.

He put all his clothes into his backpack, and lay flat on the surgical table like a corpse.

Click!

Hidden restraints instantly sprang out, locking his limbs, neck, forehead, and abdomen.

However, There was no panic in Yi Chen's eyes; he simply took deep breaths to regulate his heart rate as much as possible.

"You didn't struggle at all, you really are different from others! The students I've examined before always struggled a bit before settling down.

That's right~ Only by understanding my methods can we explore the secrets of the human body together.

Next, I will 'open up' your physical body, observe and record the specific conditions inside for subsequent 'body analysis'.

During this process, you will continuously and intensely feel [Pain].

Do not resist it, otherwise you will faint midway, and if you're unlucky, you might even die.

[Pain] is a precious gift bestowed by heaven upon higher life forms, one of the most important evolutionary products of brain development. You must learn to understand, control, and even fall in love with 'her'.

Once you adapt, she will become something you're addicted to, an unforgettable and irresistible beauty."

"Let's begin."

Over the next period, The candlelight in the operating room flickered in rhythm with the cries.

The 'screams' that painfully crawled from the depths of Yi Chen's throat sounded like melodious notes to Zede, even causing him to dance during the procedure.

Whenever Yi Chen's body was about to give out, Teacher Zede would cut open his own body and inject vitality through a "Vascular Connection" to sustain his life... This "In-depth Understanding" lasted for a full six hours.

Even Ms. Oressa, who was monitoring the security of the teaching building from across the way, frowned slightly and repeatedly felt like intervening.

She even suspected that Professor Chamberson held a personal grudge against this student.

Yi Chen's consciousness did not hold out until the end of the surgery; he reached his limit midway and fell into a deep coma.

In his daze, He saw the black sea again, feeling the waves carry his body and finally bring him to the shore.

Buzz! A streak of black flashed across his vision.

He woke up.

He was lying in that small, dark, empty room, or rather, he had been thrown here like a corpse.

The backpack containing his gentleman's attire was placed to the side.

The first thing Yi Chen did upon waking was to check his body from head to toe, to see if anything was missing.

The examination revealed that everything was normal.

There were almost no suture marks either.

The only difference was that the surface of his physical body was marked with thick black lines, similar to those on Teacher Zede or other Living Corpses, indicating the physical structure and providing measurements for size and proportion.

Just as he finished changing, Teacher Zede pushed the door open.

He was still wearing only a black coat, unbuttoned, and barefoot.

He held a large basin of food, primarily vegetables, in one hand and a stack of data sheets in the other.

"Eat up quickly.

These are 'supplements' that the guys upstairs sent over based on your tastes, beneficial for rapid recovery... I know that adapting to "Pain" is a rather long process, but we'll take it slow.

Also, Your performance has left me quite satisfied.

You endured for a full 4 hours and 56 minutes during the physical body examination, far better than any new gentleman I've trained before.

Most of them couldn't even last half an hour before falling unconscious.

By the way, have you experienced similar prolonged painful stimuli before?"

"Mhm... I had some when I was younger."

Another memory, sealed away, leaked out slightly before Yi Chen quickly suppressed it.

"No wonder your adaptability is so good; you had some prior foundation.

Through this "In-depth Understanding," your physical body's foundation, potential, areas for development... and the best way to touch the "Limit Membrane" with your physical body have all been determined.

Overall, Your physical body is excellent and fits my style perfectly.

I must thank Professor Chamberson in person when I have the chance for introducing such a good student to me."

Yi Chen, while swallowing the food, rapidly flipped through his physical body examination data sheets.

The detail could even be described as 'exquisite.'

Data for every blood vessel and bone was recorded, with various analyses provided.

Though this Teacher Zede is indeed... a pervert,

If I can fully adapt, I can definitely gain something useful here and fully develop the potential within my physical body.
