Chapter 104 Protecting Family: Courage and Resourcefulness
Mu Hong had a thin and refined appearance, but his attire was somewhat slovenly, and his messy beard clearly showed that he hadn't groomed himself in a long time.
His eagle eyes, however, radiated wisdom; when he looked at someone, he seemed to be able to see through appearances to your true nature.
Upon seeing Yu Shan and his family arrive, he immediately took out a small, clear blue bottle and handed it to A Chen, saying, "Drink this, and you'll instantly return to your peak condition."
The couple looked at each other in bewilderment. Why was this person giving the child random medicine right away?
There isn't even a label on this medicine bottle; it looks like an unregistered product. What parent would feel comfortable letting their son drink it?
Seeing this, Yi Feng hurriedly said, "Teacher, you actually gave him Master Qin Luoselin's high-level mental energy recovery potion? Junior Sister Xuan has begged you for it several times, but you haven't been willing to give it to her."
"She doesn't focus on cultivation all day, so it's a waste for her to have this. It's better to give it to someone who needs it," Mu Hong said calmly.
Upon seeing this, Yu Shan immediately understood Yi Feng's meaning.
This person is really clever. In just one sentence, he explained that the origin of this counterfeit product was extraordinary, which not only put their family at ease, but also made them feel indebted to his teacher.
Judging from the size of the shop, Yu Shan felt that the probability of the master and apprentice colluding to cheat them was almost zero, so she accepted the favor.
"Achen, why don't you thank Master Mu?" Yu Shan said to her son.
"Thank you, Master Mu." Ah Chen readily agreed, took the medicine bottle, unscrewed it, and downed it in one gulp.
To be honest, the medicine concocted by that Master Qin actually tastes pretty good. Ah Chen decided to suggest to Uncle Bo that he learn from Master Qin and stop giving him bitter medicine.
After the medicine entered his stomach, Achen immediately felt warm all over, as if he were soaking in a hot spring, and felt so comfortable that he wanted to hum.
Although Yu Shan believed Master Mu, she was still somewhat worried because her son had drunk an unknown potion.
Seeing that Ah Chen's tired look had vanished and he looked much more energetic, I finally felt relieved.
"Start the highest level test for him." Seeing that Achen had recovered, Mu Hong didn't waste any words and directly instructed his disciple.
Yi Feng was shocked again. To start the highest level test, two super-grade energy stones were required, each of which was worth 50,000 contribution points.
Aren't the teachers worried that the parents can't afford the testing fees?
However, considering the teacher's consistent way of handling things, he didn't bother to try and dissuade him.
At worst, he can go back and fool a few more rich kids and rich heirs to order a few deluxe mechs to make up for the losses his master suffered.
Yi Feng led A Chen to a large control panel, brought up the test page, and then opened a space capsule-like object, letting A Chen lie down inside.
"Close your eyes, concentrate, the test is starting," Yi Feng said, pressing the start button.
Ah Chen closed his eyes, and the buzzing of machinery reached his ears. The volume wasn't loud, but it was a bit annoying.
He subconsciously used his mental energy to create a barrier to block out the noise.
The noise quickly disappeared, and then he felt a cool liquid dripping from above his head. When he opened his eyes, he saw that he was surrounded by green mountains and clear waters.
There were chirping birds all around, and not far ahead was a tall grove of mutated purple bamboo. On the thickest bamboo, Uncle Xiaobao was climbing up quickly.
Ah Chen had heard his mother talk about illusions before, and his first reaction was that this was an illusion.
However, the illusion was indeed quite realistic; he even saw bamboo rats scurrying around the roots of the purple bamboo.
Not far away, Mom and Aunt Lele arrived. They strolled through the bamboo forest, chatting happily as they looked down for bamboo shoots. When they saw any tender ones, they dug them up and collected them.
Such a beautiful scene made Ah Chen want to join in. Just as he ran up to them, a strong, fishy smell suddenly wafted up from behind him.
When Ah Chen turned around, he saw countless zombies surging in from all directions.
Mom and Lele's aunt seemed completely unaware of the zombies' arrival. He rushed over and shouted, "Run!"
But they didn't seem to hear him, so he called out again, "Dad, come help!"
But Dad was nowhere to be found, and there was no response at all.
Ah Chen had no choice but to rush forward and use his mental power to strangle the zombies.
However, there were simply too many zombies, so he had to divide his mental energy into hundreds of strands and insert them into the brains of the zombies.
He used a fishing technique he had learned in infancy without a teacher. After his mental energy thread pierced the zombie's brain, it transformed into a hook and directly hooked out its crystal core.
A zombie that loses its crystal core will immediately collapse and turn into rotting, stinking flesh.
After a fierce and chaotic battle, Ah Chen felt exhausted and finally managed to kill all the zombies.
I had barely caught my breath when a tremendous buzzing sound filled my ears, a hundred times louder than the noise the instrument had made when it was turned on.
He looked up sharply and saw a vast expanse of densely packed, sunless sky.
Upon closer inspection, it was discovered that they were all insects as big as half a house.
They have carapaces that are fiery red, bright yellow, lush green, and glossy purple, and they pounce on the purple bamboo forest, brandishing their large pincers that are like cutting knives.
Ah Chen had no doubt that these giant insects could easily swallow a person whole.
The methods he used before to deal with the walkers were definitely not going to work, so in desperation, he had no choice but to use Uncle Matt's mental net.
The spiritual power expanded infinitely, quickly forming a net in the air, blocking the insects' advance.
However, Ah Chen knew that the net he had formed was not strong enough. After all, he was only at the fifth level, while Uncle Matt was at the seventh level. If it were Uncle Matt's mental net, it should be able to stop these insects.
Although he knew he couldn't stop it, his desire to protect his mother and family was extremely strong. Ah Chen did his best to reinforce his mental defenses again and again.
The insects desperately rammed into the mental net; some began to breathe fire, some spat out golden spikes, and others raised their large pincers to cut.
Soon, the dense mental net was torn in many places, and Ah Chen was almost in tears.
Suddenly, a thought flashed through his mind: if insects can use superpowers, then he should also be able to use his mental power to condense fireballs, golden spikes, and the like.
Thinking of this, he concentrated his energy and used his mind to transform it.
Soon, flames burst forth from the knots of the mental net, scorching any insects that approached it.
The first conversion was a success, and Achen was greatly encouraged.
He once again transformed his spiritual energy into water, spreading it across the spiritual net, and then transformed it into countless bolts of lightning.
Water and lightning complement each other, forming a shimmering electric grid. Achen no longer passively defends himself, but actively wraps himself around the grid.
With a sizzling sound and the mournful screams of the insects, Ah Chen collapsed to the ground with relief, a trace of bright red blood spilling from the corner of his mouth.
The moment Ah Chen collapsed, he lost consciousness, and the testing device automatically shut down.
