Turns Out She's a Senior

It worked?!

The room erupted in cheers and shouts of joy!

Dong Huicheng looked at the shimmering aura on his body and was overjoyed.

He clenched his fists, and the aura around his body continued to rise, growing larger and more dazzling. Finally, when the aura reached its peak, it suddenly contracted, emanating a lustrous and restrained glow within a radius of about one foot around him.

"Captain, what are you doing...?" Han Xiaoying stared wide-eyed at the aura emanating from Dong Huicheng.

"It's the Heart Refining Realm!" Deng Yuanlong exclaimed excitedly, "The captain has broken through! The purity of this Qi is undoubtedly that of Martial Combat Faction at the Heart Refining Realm!!"

After years of summarizing, Vital Energy Cultivator have divided the ability of the Heart Refining Realm into nine major schools, with the Martial Combat Faction being the most balanced and fundamental of them.

The Heart Refining Realm of the Martial Combat Faction is similar to an advanced version of the Foundation Establishment Realm. It usually doesn't have any magical abilities, but the purity and hardness of the Qi will be greatly improved, resulting in a qualitative leap in combat ability!

Dong Huicheng is thirty-five years old this year. He has excellent talents in all aspects. More than ten years ago, he reached the fifth level of both the Foundation Establishment. However, after years of hard work, even after breaking through to the sixth level with only a one percent probability, he still did not have the opportunity to comprehend the mysteries of the Heart Refining Realm realm.

As a result, he encountered Firemane Ant today. Because he was worried about his teammates, Dong Huicheng suddenly found an opportunity to break through in the critical moment. However, due to excessive stimulation of his vital energy, he not only failed to break through but also suffered a backlash, damaging his meridians.

But to everyone's surprise, Mister Ye actually healed this severe trauma, which she had already resigned herself to being a cripple for the rest of her life!

Looking at the vital energy swirling around his hands, Dong Huicheng was so moved that two streams of tears flowed down his face. He then knelt down in front of Luo Jun with a thud.

"Mister Ye not only saved my life but also cured my illness! He has done me a second life! In the future, if I ever need anything from you, just say the word, and I will go through fire and water for you, even at the cost of my life!"

Luo Jun hadn't expected the other party to pull such a move. He had initially reached out to help him up, but perhaps he'd gotten used to the "Night" persona for too long, he flicked his outstretched hand aside. "No need for that. I told you, saving you isn't free!"

But this time, his feigned bad temper didn't scare anyone. After the other team members helped their captain up, they all thanked Luo Jun. Judging from their sincere expressions, Dong Huicheng held a very high place in their hearts and must be a good captain.

After the celebration, it was getting late, so everyone tidied up the table and prepared to rest. Luo Jun, still not sleepy, went outside for a walk.

The night sky in the Savage Wilderness was both dark and bright.

The darkness is due to the absence of light pollution from industry, while the brightness comes from the countless brilliant stars in the sky.

"Some people have studied the starry sky of this other world and suspect that it is a different planet in the same universe as our Main World world."

Luo Jun turned around and saw Bai Renxin also come out and stand beside him.

This woman with glasses has a very composed demeanor, but upon closer inspection, she doesn't look very old, probably only in her early twenties at most.

"Any results from the research?" Luo Jun asked casually, somewhat embarrassed by the silence.

Bai Renxin shrugged. "We found no matches. The conclusion is either that they are completely unrelated worlds, or that they are too far apart. The starry sky we see here and the starry sky we see on Earth are both beyond each other's observable range."

Luo Jun took a deep breath. "It's rare to see such a beautiful starry sky on Earth."

Bai Renxin smiled and took out the Record Origin Book, handing it to Luo Jun.

Luo Jun was slightly taken aback. "I said, one month from now..."

"Only you can use the complete version of the Great Luo Return to Spring here." Bai Renxin shook his head. "It wouldn't be of much use to me."

"Besides, I'll be leaving the Savage Wilderness when the gate opens next time."

"Oh?" Luo Jun was slightly taken aback.

"I'm actually a junior at the Explorer Academy of Tianjing University, and I'll be a senior next semester... I came here to train in preparation for my graduation project. When I first arrived, I lacked experience and was almost killed by monsters. Thanks to Captain Dong and the others for saving me. Their team was short of healers, so I joined."

I didn't expect her to be a Senior!

Luo Jun suddenly realized that Heart Refining Realm, who has healing abilities, is a hot commodity in the Wildlands Hunter team. He was originally curious about how Dong Huicheng's ordinary team could have such a powerful support, but now he understood the story behind it.

"Normally, I should have returned to the academy after reaching the Senior-level, but I got along very well with everyone, and the captain saved my life, so I wanted to stay as long as possible to help them as much as possible." Bai Renxin looked back at the door. "Now that the captain has successfully broken through and his strength has greatly improved, I can leave with peace of mind. I suppose they will soon find a more suitable support."

Luo Jun nodded and took the Record Origin Book from his hand. "How do I return it to you after I'm done using it?"

"I wrote my address on that blank page. You can mail it to me through the Yuan Cultivation Society's Zhendan Pass." Bai Renxin pointed to the Record Origin Book: "Besides recording skills, the Record Origin Book can also record information using Yuan Qi. But if a skill is recorded on this page, the information will be refreshed."

Does the Yuan Cultivation Society even have a courier company? Luo Jun wondered to himself: Being able to mail treasures is really convenient...

"Such an important treasure, aren't you afraid I'll really steal it?"

"I told you I believed you." Bai Renxin smiled slightly. "Although you are mysterious and powerful, I can see that you are an upright and kind person. Moreover, you look very young. I even suspect that you, like me, are a student at some Explorer Academy."

Luo Jun was slightly startled, thinking to himself, "What a perceptive woman."

"However, I've gone through all the geniuses and experts from various universities, and none of them match your characteristics... Perhaps I'm wrong." Bai Renxin looked at Luo Jun and tilted his head slightly.

Is she testing me...? This woman is cunning. Luo Jun thought to himself that it was fortunate that his mental attributes were high enough that he could keep his emotions hidden behind the mask, otherwise he would have been easily tricked into revealing his secrets.

"Perhaps you're not mistaken," Luo Jun smiled, speaking vaguely. The Midnight Mask could conceal most physical features, and he believed that no matter how clever this Senior from Tianjing was, she couldn't possibly connect her to a freshman in the Body Refinement Realm who had just passed the exam and hadn't even enrolled yet.

Now it was Bai Renxin's turn to be confused.

The next morning, Luo Jun brought the previous day's spoils to the Wildlands Hunter Guild, intending to exchange them for vouchers.

Compared to yesterday, there were far fewer people in the square today. I suppose most of them had suffered yesterday and gave up today.

However, none of these people noticed the notice board in the corner of the square; it seemed there was a new announcement?

Luo Jun leaned closer to take a look and found that it said, "The Ant Nest large-scale mission is suspended today. The guild will reassess the Mission Difficulty and rewards based on newly collected intelligence. New Mission is expected to be released this afternoon."

As for the previous loot, it remains valid and can be exchanged for tickets.

It seems the guild was caught off guard too. Luo Jun curled his lip and walked into the hall carrying his spoils.

Thank you to Walker Shangqiu for the 500 Origin Point Coin!
