"Lin Tian, how is it?" After a while, Xiao Manxue couldn’t help but ask.
"I’ll try. In a mont, I will perform acupuncture. The room needs to be absolutely quiet. You all should wait outside, and no one is allowed to co in," Lin Tian said directly. He didn’t make it sound absolute, so as not to make the Female Sword Saint more distrustful.
Reina the Sword Saint looked at Lin Tian with suspicion, then turned to look at Xiao Manxue.
"ntor, we can trust Lin Tian," Xiao Manxue said with certainty. Reina the Sword Saint finally nodded and left the room with the others, closing the door behind them.
Lin Tian’s treatnt didn’t require acupuncture. The Female College naturally had the capability to heal Zhu Li’s external injuries. What he needed to do was to expel the malevolent energy from Zhu Li’s body, or more accurately, absorb it.
He spread his fingers, and a Blood Pearl rose up in his palm. The Blood Pearl suddenly dispersed and turned into a blood mist, enveloping Zhu Li. The mont it surrounded her, thin streams of gray airflow seeped from Zhu Li’s body, and as soon as they erged, they were consud by the blood mist.
Half an hour later, gray airflow no longer escaped from Zhu Li’s body. Lin Tian’s eyes glinted as his X-ray vision swept over Zhu Li’s body to confirm that the malevolent energy was completely gone. He made a gesture, and the blood mist reford into a Blood Pearl, which was reabsorbed into his palm.
As expected, I was right. Malevolent energy and Evil Qi are similar energies. They are harmful to normal people but beneficial to , Lin Tian thought silently.
As for Zhu Li’s wounds, Lin Tian did not treat them. As long as she’s free of the malevolent energy’s influence, the wounds can be treated with normal dication and heal naturally.
Moreover, Zhu Li is not an ordinary person. Her body is much tougher. Once healed, there won’t be any lasting effects. For ordinary people, even if those many broken bones were healed, they would not recover as before.
"You can co in now," Lin Tian called out to those outside.
Xiao Manxue was the first to open the door and enter, anxiously asking, "How is Zhu Li?"
"The malevolent energy in her body has been completely removed. As long as you use dication normally, she will recover," Lin Tian said. To him, it was just a trivial matter of lifting a finger.
Reina the Sword Saint was still skeptical. She walked to the bed, placed her hand on Zhu Li’s head, closed her eyes to sense, and then opened them after a few seconds.
At this mont, she no longer doubted Lin Tian’s words, but what followed was amazent. Such remarkable dical skills at such a young age were completely beyond her expectations.
"Young man, you truly impress . Soone so young and yet with such outstanding dical skills, I have never seen before. You are the first," Reina the Sword Saint exclaid.
"It’s just my area of expertise, nothing worthy of such high praise," Lin Tian said modestly.
"Bang, bang, bang..."
While they were talking, there was a knock at the door outside. Xiao Manxue and the others went out together, opened the door, and upon seeing the person outside, Xiao Manxue froze for a mont, then frowned.
"Li Wenfeng, what are you doing here?" Xiao Manxue said coldly.
Li Wenfeng first saluted Reina the Sword Saint, then replied, "If you can attend the Female College, I can certainly attend the Knight Academy. I am the captain of the Frostwind Team and have co today to visit Miss Zhu Li."
Without speaking, Xiao Manxue was already angry. Pointing at Li Wenfeng, she shouted angrily, "So you’re the captain of the Frostwind Team! You even have the nerve to co visit Zhu Li. You knew she lacked combat experience and still invited her to such a dangerous mission. Why didn’t you consider this outco at the ti!"
"Every warrior has her first real battle. I deeply regret this incident," Li Wenfeng said with a slight bow of apology, though only he knew what he really thought.
He spoke as if it were a natural course of action, with no indication of taking responsibility, only expressing humanitarian regret. Xiao Manxue beca infuriated.
She pointed directly at Li Wenfeng’s face, coldly saying, "Get lost, don’t pretend to be sincere here."
Li Wenfeng was unfazed by a woman pointing at his nose. His expression unchanged, he said, "Since the atmosphere isn’t right today, I’ll take my leave and co to visit Miss Zhu Li another day." With that, he turned to leave, appearing very regretful.
Li Wenrong, Li Wenfeng... it can’t be such a coincidence, can it? Lin Tian thought as he watched Li Wenfeng leave.
"Miss, is Li Wenfeng...?" Lin Tian asked cautiously.
Xiao Manxue directly confird, "You guessed right. Li Wenfeng is the eldest son of the Li Family, the elder brother of Li Wenrong and Li Wenxuan. I’m also surprised that he’s attending the Knight Academy."
Her answer was peculiar. She didn’t say he was a cousin, and earlier, Li Wenfeng did not call her cousin either, which was in stark contrast to Li Wenrong’s behavior. Li Wenrong frequently addressed her affectionately as cousin and paid special attention to Miss, only to be knocked down a peg by Lin Tian.
"Manxue, I need to find soone to treat Zhu Li now. You need to make arrangents for yourself. However, it’s best if you don’t leave Holy Spirit Town for now. Sothing big is going to happen here," Reina instructed but left hurriedly without saying what it was.
"What big event?" Lin Tianqi asked curiously.
"I don’t know," Xiao Manxue shook her head slightly, then added, "Didn’t you want to know the origins of the Female College? Let take you sowhere, and you’ll understand."
Xiao Manxue glanced back at the bedroom and left with Lin Tian. Under her guidance, four of them arrived in front of a building. It was the tallest building of the Female College, the highest Gothic tower Lin Tian had observed from outside the town.
At closer inspection, the tower not only had Gothic features but also Romanesque ones. The four Roman pillars at the entrance supported the front half of the tower. Inside the door was a large hall. Two rows of giant Roman columns held up the high do. Transparent windows along the sides allowed sunlight to flood in, making the hall very bright.
In the center of the hall was a stone pedestal, atop which stood a statue. The form was not a god or a knight, but that of a mage.
The statue wore robes, and its hand held a staff topped with an enormous gemstone - a real gemstone. Under the sunlight, the gemstone refracted dazzling red light.
"What a huge Ruby!" Lin Tian exclaid in awe.
This gem, much beloved by Westerners, with its purity, size, and perfect cut, could be considered priceless.
"Such a large Ruby just sitting here, aren’t you afraid it’ll be stolen?" Secretary Xu asked curiously.
Xiao Manxue smiled without explaining and instead introduced, "The person in the statue is a Great Mage, the founder of the Royal Won’s College."
"A Female College founded by a man, how strange," Lin Tian laughed.
"This founder was the great mage by King Arthur’s side. Arthur achieved so much largely thanks to this mage. Even the Sword of the King was obtained under the mage’s guidance," Xiao Manxue explained.
