Chapter 332 Breaking Through to the Sixth Rank, and Incidentally Teasing Bo Yiyan
Zuo Shan did not tell his family about his son's upcoming frontline combat assessment, but Old Master Caesar had already received the news.
“Evan, do you think I’m getting old and my heart is softening? When Modi first went to hunt mutated beasts, I wasn’t worried at all, but now when I think about the dangers Ah Chen will encounter on the front lines, I can’t sleep at night.”
“Master, let alone you, I’m also worried about the young master. I think that’s only natural. I’ve heard more than one great-grandfather with a third-grade child in the family complain to me about this.”
They even encouraged me to persuade you to protest directly to the academy and demand the cancellation of this practical assessment for the third year of the beginner class, saying that the child should at least wait until they advance to the intermediate class before participating in such a practical assessment.
But I figured with our young master Chen's talent, he'd probably be moving up to the intermediate class soon. Even if it's canceled this time, how will he avoid it next time?
“What you say makes sense, but I still feel uneasy,” Caesar said worriedly.
He could only confide in Evan, and in front of outsiders, he always maintained a confident demeanor to avoid being ridiculed by those old guys.
“Patriarch, you can really put your mind at ease. Doesn’t Young Master Chen have a powerful contracted divine beast?”
Even if it's just a juvenile, when faced with a life-or-death moment, that fathead fish will definitely fight to the death to protect its master.
The aura of the divine beast will be released, and other mutated beasts will feel a strong suppression of its level. This will at least give Young Master Chen a chance to escape.
Moreover, didn't he still have the Floating Cloud Pearl given to him by the Hua family head? That pearl could withstand the full force of an eighth-level expert's attack.
It's just a practical assessment for the beginner class. I believe the instructors at the Vanguard Camp and the academy will consider it carefully; they wouldn't send a group of children to the most dangerous place.
Evan's words finally comforted Caesar, who couldn't help but laugh at himself: "Sigh! I guess I'm getting old. Even in a situation like this, I can't help but worry."
“Concern leads to confusion. Patriarch, you've placed too much hope in A-Chen, that's why you're acting this way,” Evan said with a smile.
"Yes, if Xi'er were born with half of A-Chen's talent, I wouldn't be too worried about A-Chen."
"There are very few talented children among the family's descendants, but it's fortunate that there aren't any equally talented ones in Achen's generation, otherwise Modi's cousins would probably have been itching to make a move long ago," Caesar said.
In the past, some of the grandchildren of the Lan Dun family had tried to assassinate Mo Di, but none of them harbored any ill intentions towards A Chen.
The reason is simple: none of them have had offspring so far.
The struggle for family power is limited to those of the same generation. Since they couldn't beat Modi, they wouldn't dare to harm Achen unless they produced an outstanding descendant.
The lack of a family heir means the family will decline, and no one dares to gamble that they can produce an excellent successor.
Even if Modi dies on the front lines in the future, they can still enjoy their old age with the help of the grown-up Achen.
If they really kill Ah Chen now, Mo Di will definitely fight them to the death, and they probably won't even live to old age.
Zuo Shan didn't care at all about the worries of the two old men in the old house. All she wanted to do now was to prepare the repair potion that Bo Yiyan had given her before A Chen's monthly exam.
In the past two years, she and her family have rarely used the Ten Thousand Year Spirit Milk, because they have found that this stuff is extremely effective for low-level ability users, but once they break through to the fifth level, the effect is not so obvious.
In addition, since their ability levels were increasing too quickly, which could easily lead to instability, they all planned to gradually stabilize their current levels before looking for an opportunity to break through.
However, this situation was special. Zuo Shan wanted to prepare the repair potion as soon as possible, so he took out a small bottle and placed it beside him.
As she reached the final stage of preparing the potion, and her energy was about to run out, she felt a warm sensation in her lower abdomen again. This was Xi'er helping her once more.
However, this time she did not intend to consume the baby's energy. She directly dripped a few drops of undiluted Eternal Spirit Milk into her palm.
After the rich energy of the spiritual milk entered his palm, Zuo Shan clearly felt a powerful suction force coming from his lower abdomen.
The baby is actively absorbing the Wan Nian Ling Milk!
Zuo Shan didn't know if this thing would burst the fetus, so she quickly absorbed most of the energy.
She felt no obvious discomfort in her lower abdomen, so she guessed that the baby should be fine.
At this crucial moment in preparing the medicine, she focused her attention on making a final push.
Her energy was quickly depleted, so she could only continue dripping the millennium-old spiritual milk into her palm. She couldn't possibly give up halfway after paying such a high price, could she?
When only one-fifth of the 50ml bottle of Wan Nian Ling Milk remained, she felt a tremendous change in her body.
Having experienced five breakthroughs, she realized that her ability level was about to break through.
The moment Zuo Shan broke through to the sixth level, he felt his mental power and the energy threads in his body surge like a tide. The originally difficult final sprint stage suddenly became as easy as taking a leisurely stroll.
She successfully concocted her first bottle of repair potion!
For Zuo Shan, this day was a double celebration. She became a sixth-level ability user, and at the same time, she also concocted her first bottle of repair potion.
At this point, there were only three days left before Achen set off for the front-line assessment.
As if on cue, Bo Yiyan sent a message: "Stop focusing on preparing the potions, what about my breakfast, lunch and dinner next month? Don't expect me to go to the front lines on an empty stomach."
"Don't worry! I'll definitely feed you! I also have some good news to share with you, just wait!" Zuo Shan replied.
"What good news?" Bo replied to her message instantly.
He often takes an hour or two to reply, and sometimes he even forgets to reply. When asked about it later, he will confidently say: "This great doctor is busy."
Zuo Shan decided to ignore him this time and busied herself preparing the medicine. Bo Yiyan in the school clinic was so anxious waiting for a reply that he started pacing around in circles.
Of course, he would never send another message urging her to reply before she did; it would be too beneath him for a doctor like Bo Da to do something so degrading.
After waiting anxiously for half the night, Bo Yiyan suddenly smiled at his watch:
Has his IQ dropped to negative numbers? What good news could that woman possibly have to share with him? It's nothing more than that she's concocted a new drug.
However, the difficulty of this potion actually exceeded her ability. She was a fifth-level ability user who had just broken through less than three months ago, while he provided a sixth-level formula.
A fifth-tier ability user can barely concoct a sixth-tier potion, provided that her ability has reached the peak of the fifth tier, but she is clearly still far from that level.
His purpose was not to have her prepare the potion, but to give her something to do so that she wouldn't overthink things or worry unnecessarily about Ah Chen's practical assessment.
That's why he didn't dare to think about the possibility that Zuo Shan had successfully prepared the potion; otherwise, he wouldn't have been guessing for so long.
Bo Yiyan, who doubted her own intelligence, finally felt the vibration of her wristwatch. Her message popped up: Two good news: First, I've reached level six; Second, I've concocted the second potion.
Bo Yiyan: He really does have a negative IQ.
This woman has been creating miracles all along, so why would he doubt her ability?
But looking at the time, he couldn't help but grind his teeth: Was she retaliating for his past delays in replying to messages? Women, they really are all petty!
