Chapter 135: Wei Yuan's Foot Injury!
"How many more?"
As soon as Wei Yuan heard about the makeup exam for the long-distance run, he felt a headache coming on. The physical education test before the college entrance examination had already taken place, but unfortunately, something happened at home during that time, causing him to be missing for an entire month.
Under normal circumstances, a thousand-meter run would have been a piece of cake for Wei Yuan, given his physical condition.
However, when he returned and faced the first scheduled makeup exam for the long-distance run, it coincided with the side effects after absorbing Spiritual Energy. His explosive power and jumping ability had significantly increased.
It was as if his attributes had all skyrocketed like a character in an online game, but because of this, his stamina had suffered. Not only could he not handle a thousand meters, even running three hundred meters was exhausting for him, resulting in a failed makeup exam.
It really is true that misfortune comes without limits. Of course, Liu Haisheng wouldn't let him suffer alone and suggested canceling that exam score on the spot and rescheduling another makeup exam.
So they arranged for another makeup exam later. However, misfortunate Wei Yuan injured his right foot again. Looking at him now, it seemed like even walking was quite a challenge.
"When is it? This Saturday," Liu Lei said.
"So soon?" Wei Yuan appeared somewhat surprised. The timing was very tight; his stamina hadn't even recovered to its best state yet. Even if he did recover, the newly acquired foot injury would be enough to drag him down—truly a case of misfortunes never coming alone.
"How about applying for another extension for the makeup exam?" Lan Xue said nervously as she looked at Wei Yuan's foot injury.
Wei Yuan understood that under normal circumstances, he should have completed the exam months ago. Starting the makeup exams just two months before the college entrance examination was already a very rare case.
Wei Yuan didn't want to trouble Liu Haisheng anymore, so he shook his injured foot and said, "It's nothing serious, it just looks worse than it is. I only bled a little; I can run and jump again after a day or two of rest."
To reassure Lan Xue and Liu Lei, he endured the pain and pulled off the bloodied nail from his biggest toe, then wiped it with a napkin.
This behavior of Wei Yuan seemed pretty cool, but only he understood the pain involved. He was clearly putting on a brave face; as for the remaining injuries, he wasn't foolish enough to pull them all off by hand—he planned to cut them off slowly with scissors instead.
"See? I'm fine," Wei Yuan smiled.
Enduring the pain while forcing a smile made Wei Yuan feel quite helpless. However, his confidence stemmed from the unusual changes after the last upgrade of Repairing Source Power. For instance, the spontaneous overflow of Mist-like Space from his mind attached itself to the gun barrel, using repair principles that caused the bullets in that gun to fail to fire.
Just last week, after he got injured and fell into a coma for four days, covered in wounds, as the head of a medicinal sect with a history of thousands of years, Yuan Ziyi naturally didn't need to call a doctor. She took it upon herself to treat Wei Yuan, during which she discovered a strange phenomenon.
It was as if Wei Yuan's body had installed a Fountain of Life from an online game. Yuan Ziyi simply used Medicinal Wine to wash his body, and soon after, his injuries began to heal slowly. It wasn't an exaggerated instant recovery but still remarkably fast.
The three big men chasing Yuan Ziyi were no ordinary people. Although Wei Yuan's physical attributes had surged dramatically, it didn't mean he could withstand their punches and kicks. Each blow was bone-crushing, and every injury could be debilitating.
If it weren't for Wei Yuan's resilience, he might have been killed on the spot.
As the saying goes, "Injuries can be severe." Yuan Ziyi even considered calling a specialized physician from her sect to treat Wei Yuan, but when she examined his condition, she found that despite all his injuries appearing severe on the surface, he was actually in remarkably good shape.
It was like seeing someone shot but finding no bullet holes on them; this was what surprised Yuan Ziyi.
When Wei Yuan woke up, although Yuan Ziyi didn't provide detailed information about his condition, through observation, he gradually realized that it wasn't just Yuan Ziyi's medical skills that allowed her to help someone severely injured recover in such a short time; rather, it was his own recovery ability that was truly extraordinary.
The reason behind this was simple: Wei Yuan found an explanation that his Mist-like Space, in the face of life-and-death challenges, spontaneously generated a protective effect. As a result, this crisis prompted an upgrade in the form within Mist-like Space. In simple terms, his Ability had leveled up.
Now aware that he had unintentionally gained an ability to repair items after surviving this ordeal, through several experiments, he gradually mastered his situation and could repair even more advanced and expensive items, including those containing Spiritual Energy.
However, he never thought about whether this Repairing Ability could be applied to the human body. For example, it could fix some ailments that arise in the body, even if it was just to clear a few pimples and blackheads from his face.
Perhaps human thinking has its limitations; in fact, the Repairing Ability can naturally repair the human body. Otherwise, when Wei Yuan was hit by Ma Teng driving a BMW into Luoxia Lake, his bodily functions would have already ceased. In other words, without the effect of the Repairing Source Power at the bottom of the lake, he would have been dead long ago.
"What's wrong? What are you thinking about? Don't worry too much," Lan Xue comforted as she looked at Wei Yuan, who had a blank expression on his face.
At that moment, Wei Yuan was struck by the concept of repairing the human body. He was a relatively passive person; if it weren't for his foot injury and the upcoming long-distance running retest, he might not have actively thought about this aspect. After all, repairing the human body still sounded quite extraordinary.
Lan Xue thought he was worried about the long-distance running retest. At this time, Wei Yuan instead used words to calm both of their feelings—one concerned girlfriend and one caring brother, both genuinely heartfelt. This feeling was truly wonderful.
"Sister-in-law, why don't you take Wei Yuan home to rest?" suggested Liu Lei.
Upon hearing this, Lan Xue appeared somewhat shy but did not reject his address. In fact, it was precisely because of pure-hearted boys like Wei Yuan that she had been thinking about confirming their relationship.
A girl can hear her friend use such a term without feeling disgusted; instead, like Lan Xue, she blushed. Did her feelings need further clarification?
Lan Xue forced herself to remain calm, as if she hadn't heard Liu Lei's address, and turned to Wei Yuan: "Why don't you go home and rest for a while this afternoon?"
Although Lan Xue knew that Wei Yuan had already moved out and rented a place, she had never been there. Naturally, Wei Yuan wouldn't be foolish enough to let Lan Xue take him home.
Even though he didn't have an actual relationship with the two girls in his apartment, Yang Ying and Han Ling, they were still roommates. If Lan Xue saw them together, it would be difficult to explain their relationship.
Wei Yuan hated spending time explaining unnecessary things, so he naturally rejected Liu Lei's annoying suggestion: "No need; you guys go back to class. I'll just take a bus home."
"Alright then, take care of yourself."
After the three of them finished their meal, Liu Lei and Lan Xue once again offered to help Wei Yuan out to catch a taxi. Since he had an injury on his foot, they decided to just call a cab for him.
Today, Liu Lei was in quite a predicament thanks to Hammer, but fortunately, Wei Yuan helped him out. In fact, Wei Yuan's foot injury was also a result of trying to help Liu Lei, so naturally, Liu Lei turned to think about Wei Yuan: "You should go home and rest for a few days. Let me talk to my dad and the gym teacher about postponing things for a while."
Wei Yuan replied, "I should be fine soon. I'll give you a call when I'm better."
As Wei Yuan got into the taxi, there was less than half an hour left before class started. The two of them were already on their way back to school, but Wei Yuan still reminded Liu Lei, "You need to be careful. I'm worried Hammer might come back."
Liu Lei nodded. As Wei Yuan sat in the taxi looking at his injured foot, he felt very helpless.
His mind was filled with questions. On one hand, there was the Mist-like Space after his upgrade, which had merged with the Dark Ink-colored Mist. He wondered if the newly appeared deep black Dark Cloud Substance could actually have a healing effect on the human body.
After all, the human body is not like an inanimate object. If it could be healed as well, would that mean Wei Yuan possessed the most advanced medical skills in the world?
This was his first question. The second question was who exactly incited Hammer to come to school and cause trouble? And why did they target Liu Lei?
Wei Yuan's first suspect was naturally Chang Wei. After all, this was an incident of campus violence. Although there were many rules in school that resembled those in a prison—like one-on-one fights in the restroom where losing students couldn't inform their parents or teachers—this kind of behavior still seemed somewhat childish among students. Therefore, people like Lan Boma Teng would disdain using such tactics. As for Chang Wei, he had past grievances with both himself and Liu Lei, and he used to have a decent relationship with Hammer.
Moreover, Chang Wei had a sharp tongue; it wouldn't be difficult for him to manipulate the dim-witted Hammer into doing his bidding. It was truly a case of him getting others to do his dirty work without getting his hands dirty.
As for why he chose to target Liu Lei? Wei Yuan certainly didn't believe that Chang Wei had any genuine concern for him; he simply calculated that Wei Yuan's personality meant he wouldn't stand by idly when he learned that Liu Lei had been dragged into the restroom by Hammer.
At that point, it would be easy for Chang Wei to pull Wei Yuan into the mess as well and let Hammer deal with both of them while he stood by watching the chaos unfold—a perfect two-for-one scheme.
The reason why Wei Yuan suspected Chang Wei was simple: this plan seemed clever at first glance, but generally speaking, people in society would look down on using such tactics against two students. Moreover, this approach clearly seemed somewhat childish. Those around Hammer would likely spill secrets if Wei Yuan confronted them physically; could they really keep quiet after that?
Of course, Chang Wei was not afraid of the father-son relationship between Liu Lei and Liu Haisheng. He was still unclear about it, and as for Wei Yuan, coming from three generations of poor farmers, he was just a poor guy. Even if the suspicion fell on him, what could he do?
Chang Wei probably thought about provoking Wei Yuan, and then taking advantage of his loss of rationality to ensure that he couldn't even participate in the college entrance examination, getting kicked out of school would be the only way to eliminate his resentment.
There was another reason for targeting Chang Wei: Wei Yuan had decent social connections. If people in society looked down on such actions, then among those he had offended in school, the most likely person to do this would be Chang Wei.
This guy already had a motive, and regardless of whether it was him or not, Wei Yuan had long prepared for after the exams that Chang Wei would not let him live comfortably. Of course, Wei Yuan also did not plan to let him have an easy time.
The plot of holding a grudge over a girl is quite cliché, but in every corner of Earth, similar old stories are happening, and inexplicable resentments are sprouting everywhere.
Wei Yuan had even seen multiple times in bars and similar places that arguments broke out over a woman, leading to fights that escalated into serious incidents. Alcohol emboldens people, and ultimately, lives were lost. As the saying goes, beautiful women bring disaster; the prettier the woman, the more so.
At this moment, Wei Yuan felt the taxi moving along as his thoughts slowly eased from confusion. Regardless, what mattered most now was how to deal with his foot injury.
Moreover, Wei Yuan clearly felt intense pain starting to radiate from his foot, which was quite serious. To verify his earlier theory—attempting to use the newly appeared Deep Black Cloud-like Object in his mind's Mist-like Space to heal his bodily injuries—he hurriedly began to unbutton his clothes without considering his surroundings.
He was only wearing a school uniform. Due to the heat, he didn't even bother wearing an undershirt underneath, exposing his strong upper body with tanned muscles full of masculine beauty. Then Wei Yuan wanted to check the spot on his thigh where he had been kicked by the man in the Black Jacket. He gently pulled down his pants.
He could even see his underwear and confirmed that his injury seemed to have improved significantly within a few moments. Only then did Wei Yuan believe that after upgrading Repairing Source Power, his body's self-regulating ability and recovery capability had miraculous effects.
"Bro, what are you preparing to do?" The driver asked in surprise at Wei Yuan's actions.
Wei Yuan didn't know how to respond; he could only awkwardly smile and say, "It's too hot; just trying to cool off."
Watching the driver look at him as if he were insane, Wei Yuan decided not to explain further and continued conducting his theoretical simulation experiment in his mind.
Did this idea mean that he could use the Deep Black Cloud-like Object to heal his foot injury? Perhaps there was a possibility.
Thinking of this, Wei Yuan, bare-chested and grinning wildly, noticed the driver staring at his behavior. The driver's heart was filled with a strange feeling: what is wrong with kids these days? If he weren't wearing a school uniform, he would genuinely worry about his own well-being.
Fortunately, Wei Yuan did not notice the expression on the driver's face. At this moment, all his focus was on himself. He felt that despite having sustained such a severe injury, he had already recovered about thirty to fifty percent. Of course, this phenomenon could not possibly be attributed to the miraculous effects of the Purple Robe Pavilion's Medicinal Wine.
Wei Yuan had always believed that miraculous pills capable of bringing the dead back to life were merely a myth. In reality, even after thousands of years of inheritance, the Purple Robe Pavilion still only researched traditional Chinese medicine. The effects of herbal medicine were temporary but effective in the long term, especially when dealing with serious injuries; it was absolutely exaggerated to expect immediate healing.
Therefore, when something went wrong, one should look for the cause within oneself. The reason Wei Yuan found was naturally due to his Repairing Ability. In his mind's Mist-like Space, the deep black mist that formed from the fusion into the Third Form surely had self-repairing properties.
Wei Yuan no longer relied solely on analysis; he was determined to give it a try. After all, any substance that overflowed from the Mist-like Space in his mind would turn into Transparent Substance, which was indistinguishable to the naked eye.
Moreover, since his injury was on his foot and in a relatively hidden location, Wei Yuan did not have to worry about being seen by the driver. Unable to bear the continuous pain in his foot any longer, he prepared to take action.
Using his consciousness within the Mist-like Space in his mind, he slowly mobilized the Deep Black Cloud-like Object and began transforming it into his hand. Wei Yuan did not act immediately; he only sensed that after extracting a portion of the Deep Black Cloud-like Object from his mind's Mist-like Space, it began to react.
The part of the deep black Dark Cloud Substance that had been extracted slowly acted like an adhesive, drawing in surrounding Dark Ink-colored Mist to fill in the gaps created by Wei Yuan's extraction of the Deep Black Cloud-like Object.
Gradually realizing that the extracted Deep Black Cloud-like Object had been completely filled again, Wei Yuan finally felt relieved. He then slowly pushed forward the condensed Transparent Substance in his hand and felt it begin to leave his palm.
Once it left his palm, Wei Yuan vaguely sensed that these Transparent Substances were floating in the air at an extremely slow speed toward where he directed them—his injured foot.
As he kicked down hard, breaking the water reservoir, it also hurt his foot. This was a classic case of inflicting harm on oneself while trying to defeat an enemy—killing a thousand while injuring eight hundred of oneself.
At this moment, the constant pain made Wei Yuan feel very troubled. If he hadn't been worried about Lan Xue and Liu Lei earlier, he would have cried out long ago.
Now, although the pain was gradually easing, it still tested his endurance. Sitting in the taxi, Wei Yuan's behavior had already become quite strange. If he were to cry out in pain at this moment, it would probably scare the driver to death; he might even abandon the car to escape for his own safety.
Wei Yuan endured the pain and felt that mass of Transparent Substance floating in the air for a while before it completely adhered to his injured foot. Then, there seemed to be a cool sensation, as if his feet were resting on ice.
Wei Yuan felt very strange, but that injured foot was indeed sticking to the mass of Transparent Substance, which seemed to be reacting as well.
"What kind of effect will this have? I'm really looking forward to it."
