[Blood Bodhi Fruit]

Chu Wen stared in shock at the contents displayed on his panel.

At the very bottom of his interface, there was now a Blood Bodhi Fruit.

Meanwhile, Primordial Source Pearl: Blood Qi had become an icon button. Only by clicking into it could he see the details of his Blood Qi, though it was much the same as before.

He opened the [Blood Bodhi Fruit] interface.

[Blood Qi can be consumed to obtain Blood Bodhi Fruit, 100 points per fruit]

Something others fought tooth and nail over—he could create one with just 100 points of Blood Qi?

Since Chu Wen already had 100 points of Blood Qi, he did not stand on ceremony and immediately condensed a Blood Bodhi Fruit.

A glow enveloped his body. His right palm split open, rich Blood Qi gathered, and a Blood Bodhi Fruit slowly rose from his palm.

Looking at his panel, this was everything he had gained this time.

Without question, the greatest gain was the method of creating Blood Bodhi Fruits.

It seemed the Primordial Source Pearl had absorbed it into his body. That was rather miraculous. He wondered whether it would continue to grow in the future.

Chu Wen steadied himself. This Blood Bodhi Fruit could be taken back to Xinhang Martial University for Teacher Yuchi Yu to study. He could also take the opportunity to tell his teacher about his own purpose.

From what he knew of Yuchi Yu's reputation, everyone avoided him when it came to human experimentation. Yet his earlier concern over genetic fragments being abused was truly worthy of Chu Wen's trust.

At the very least, the man was not some research madman who would embark on a path of frenzied crime for the sake of science.

Teacher Yuchi Yu still had a scale in his heart.

Chu Wen also took out the saliva he had preserved from the insect queen and smeared it over the fruit, lest anything go wrong with its preservation.

After putting away the Blood Bodhi Fruit, he went downstairs and found Lin Wei, who had returned from the hospital.

Her right arm was wrapped in plaster and could not move.

Rox was there as well. Only Chen Dai was still lying in a hospital bed, not yet cleared to leave.

Lin Wei looked somewhat guilty. "If it hadn't been for me, Teacher Rox, you wouldn't have gone in."

"You're the Yatu Family's youngest genius War God. If you had fallen, the relationship between the Lin Family and the Yatu Family..."

Lin Wei did not want to become a sinner. The thought filled her with lingering fear.

"If it had been anyone else, I truly wouldn't have taken the risk," Rox said. "But because of you, Chu Wen and Chen Dai were saved."

"And if not for Chu Wen's burst of speed, you would have died at the Beast King's hands too. So there's nothing to blame yourself for."

Lin Wei's gaze shifted. Rox was actually quite good at comforting people. He was not at all as cold as the eighteen-year-old War God of rumor.

Rox turned to Chu Wen, who had just come downstairs, and smiled. "When all's said and done, you all owe me a life."

Only then did Lin Wei notice Chu Wen. Their eyes met briefly, but neither said anything further.

Lin Wei had fought desperately before, yet now she did not know what to say. These past few days, her thoughts had been running wild. She finally understood why her mother had said girls should not go to the battlefield too often.

Tiny mistakes would return to haunt her afterward—what if she had done better at the time...

But Rox and Chu Wen did not seem to deliberately review every detail of a battle. Or perhaps they simply enjoyed the process of fighting?

Lin Wei had the feeling that she was not cut from the same cloth as them.

"It's good that we're back. This time can be considered a lesson for us."

After that battle, all they truly felt was the gratitude of having survived a calamity.

"Tomorrow, we'll head back to New Hang. All in all, this mission was quite successful. We even brought back two Blood Bodhi Fruits. They should fetch a high price at Chaos Martial Arts Hall."

Rox was quite satisfied. "Our squad split those beast materials evenly with the War King squads. I don't care for such a small gain—money is just a number to me—but you're still young, so you should need it."

Lin Wei shot Rox a disdainful look. She seemed to be older than him.

"It comes to 1.2 billion per person. I rounded it up for you as encouragement. After all, I took the two Blood Bodhi Fruits, and the gains I hand over to the martial arts hall will only be more, not less."

Rox was very pleased with this trip.

The few of them did not have much to pack. The next day, they simply slung on backpacks, carried the just-awakened Chen Dai on their backs, and boarded Chaos Martial Arts Hall's fighter jet.

Chen Dai found it hard to believe that he had suddenly gained 1.2 billion Blue Star credits. At last, he understood why Lin Wei had carried such a huge backpack before.

If he had carried a bigger backpack too, would he have gotten a larger share?

War Gods earned money so quickly. He could not help but envy them.

In truth, the share the three of them received this time was merely the tip of the harvest. The gains of those seven War King squads were the real prize.

Kunlun Mountains Beast Kings sold for ten times the price of Beast Kings outside!

Many were even priceless. One needed to bring materials of equivalent value and barter for them just to obtain a little tissue sample!

And Rox, the War God who had contributed the most, took not a single cent. Naturally, the seven War King squads had struck it rich!

After getting off the fighter jet, Chu Wen and the other two sat in Xinhang Martial University's private car, drowsy with exhaustion.

Their minds had been intensely taxed during those days in the wilderness. The environment of the Kunlun Mountains was simply too unique.

Staying there for seven days had actually been the original mission requirement. Rox had merely raised the difficulty a little on purpose, nearly causing a major disaster.

"Sure enough, I still have many shortcomings..."

Rox realized something and looked at the sleeping Chu Wen in the back seat. "His battle awareness is truly first-rate."

If Chu Wen had not charged toward the island in the middle of the lake, he might not have lasted until Rox arrived to support him.

Although all of this had been orchestrated by that Eagle-Eye Beast King, even when the cards were laid face-up, one still needed the courage to charge in!

Rox imagined himself in Chu Wen's place. If he only possessed warrior-level strength, would he have done the same?

Most likely, he would not even have had the courage to flee. Like Lin Wei and Chen Dai, he would have simply accepted his fate.

At that thought, Rox was puzzled as well. Why could Chu Wen unleash strength far beyond his own rank? According to Lin Wei's account, it should have been some martial technique that overdrew the body, leaving him unable to move for a period afterward.

Yet even as a War God, Rox had never heard of such a martial technique.

If such a martial technique existed among War Gods, it could erase the possibility of being crushed by someone of the same rank. It stood to reason that everyone would know such a technique.

But the truth was that even a genius of the Yatu Family like him had never heard of a martial technique that could overdraw the body and unleash multiple times one's strength.

"This kid has quite a few secrets too..." Rox planned to ask a friend to investigate after returning. If it truly was some martial technique, perhaps it could turn the tide of humanity's war.

The intelligent driving system guided the vehicle smoothly, and there was barely any bumping along the way.

By the time they arrived at Xinhang Martial University, the blazing sun hung high overhead.

"Ah! We're finally back..."

Chen Dai stretched lazily. "Nothing beats a base city. I feel alive again. The wilderness is still way too terrifying."

Private cars of every kind were parked by the roadside. Every student wore the joy of surviving a disaster. This was the sense of security that came from returning to human habitation.

"Dummy, give me a hand! I'm the injured one!" Seeing Chen Dai blocking the car door as he stretched, Lin Wei stomped her foot in anger, only to hurt all over and laugh from the pain.

Chen Dai awkwardly held out a hand, but had no idea where to grab her since she was covered in bandages. "How about... I call you a tricycle?"

Rox and Chu Wen did not know whether to laugh or cry. They looked toward Xinhang Martial University's gates. "Let's go. If we're any later, the cafeteria won't have any food left."

"Hey, if there's no food in the cafeteria, there's still Garbage Street... Wait for us, Brother Wen, Teacher Rox..."

"Hey, you're so heavy. I can't carry you."

"This young lady isn't heavy! How else would I be able to lift a blade? Apologize!"
