Chapter 957 - Green Leaf

Chapter 957: Green Leaf
Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios
Fang Yuan’s original plan was to enter the Wasteland on his own to level up.
However, since Beatrice made the offer with hidden intentions, Fang Yuan did not mind playing along.
They thought that once they brought him to a place without civilization, he would be nothing more than a harmless chicken. However, they did not know that it was the other way around. At school, Fang Yuan was constantly holding back and could not use his full power!

That’s great!
Beatrice exclaimed happily. Then she laughed bitterly.
Wu Sanhuai has some matters that he wants to handle, so he decided to join our Green Leaf Squad. It’s beneficial to both parties.

We’ve already agreed to assemble at the school’s main gate at 6 am tomorrow!




No problem!

…
After setting the time and date, Beatrice turned off her communication device. After a moment, she pulled out an encrypted communication device.
Commander!


Beatrice, you’ve performed well over the past few days. The low-tier brain development drugs you’ve delivered have been very beneficial for developing our organization!

The commander was a man dressed in black robes. The darkness hid his face, and only his sharp, eagle-like eyes glowed brightly.

Everything is for the organization!
Beatrice bowed politely.
And… didn’t you order me to recruit Lin Meng? I’ve created an opportunity now. He wants to go out and obtain some actual combat experience, so I got him to go with the Green Leaf Squad.


Wonderful. Proceed with your plan!

The commander nodded slowly.
Even though our main objective is Wu Sanhuai, or rather the Wu Wudi behind him, taking care of a first-year isn’t a big deal. I’ve arrived on Planet East Dragon. When the time comes, let’s meet in the Wasteland!

From his perspective, gathering his resources to deal with Wu Wudi was his top priority.
As for Lin Meng? He was nothing more than a rabbit in the bushes. There was no need to be wary of him.



Commander, what is it this time? Why are we mobilizing the entire top brass?
Beatrice asked worriedly.
Your subordinate wishes to understand the plan to coordinate better!


Since you’re heading out tomorrow, it’s probably time to tell you!
The black-robed man paused.
Wu Sanhuai was dispatched this time under Wu Wudi’s orders. In fact, our sources have reported that most of the Wu family has been deployed to the Wasteland. They’re searching for a star beast king!


Star beast king?!
Beatrice took a deep breath.
This is a star beast that’s as powerful as a high-level cultivator! And it has intelligence equal to us! Is Wu Wudi searching for it to find some secret that will allow him to break through his bottleneck?

The current level fourteen to fifteen was equivalent to cracking the core to achieve the Nascent Soul in ancient cultivation. It was of extreme importance.
After he broke through to the Nascent Soul stage, that would place him at the top of the cultivator pyramid.
Of course, it was not easy either. This was what held Wu Wudi back for nearly an entire year.

But given Wu Wudi’s current level, he’ll be struggling against the star beast king, right?
Beatrice asked uncertainty.

That man is a true genius. We can’t use regular logic to define him!
The black-robed commander’s voice carried a distinct hint of fear.
Furthermore, the star beast king has a secret that attracted Wu Wudi to go after it, so we have to verify it with Wu Sanhuai! This is the main reason we have to capture him.


Understood!

Beatrice bowed as she turned off the communicator. Her bright face revealed a smirk.
These old foxes must have figured something out. Otherwise, why would they show themselves now?!



Her organization had always been growing steadily in the dark. If the members became exposed, it would immediately take measures to isolate and destroy them.
However, the top brass was making their appearance this time. She could guess the importance of this mission!

The mission this time will be perilous!

Even if Beatrice knew something was happening in the organization, she did not have the power to change anything. She could only sigh deeply.
…

Name: Fang Yuan (Lin Meng)
Profession: Dream Master, East Dragon University Student
Cultivation: Mystic (Level 5), Arcanist (Level 1)
Techniques: Flame Control Technique, Breath Holding Technique (Modified)
Skills: Alchemy (Advanced)


Power Recovered: 10.73%!

…
On another side, Fang Yuan stared at his stats window and sighed heavily.

I still can’t increase my Arcanist level. Since I’m studying at East Dragon University, how can it provide any research materials on the West’s Arcane?

However, I’m heading to the Wasteland tomorrow, and I still have to prepare some measures for my cover. It’s time to learn some spiritual techniques!

Because he was embarrassingly short on money and focused on accumulating credits, he did not pay too much attention to cultivating his spiritual techniques.
However, since he decided to head out, he wanted to spend all his credits before leaving, intending to convert them into combat power.

For spiritual techniques, it’s best if they have an inheritance system that reaches all the way to the end. My magic artifact is a flying needle, so let’s start with flying sword techniques!

Fang Yuan browsed through the spiritual techniques exchange and selected an option without hesitation.

Hundred Flying Swords Proficiency (Spiritual Technique)—Records many skills about ancient cultivation’s flying swords and ways to manipulate sharp magical artifacts. Introduction to sword cultivation! Price: 50 Credits!




Hundred Flying Swords Proficiency Spiritual Technique, Golden Blade Technique, Featherweight Body Spell, and other various spiritual techniques combine into the Flying Sword Dao Art! The Flying Sword Dao Art combines with the Merging Sword Spell and the Wind Control Dao Art to become the Returning Thousand Swords Magical Power! The Returning Thousand Swords is the standard magical power for sword cultivation. If you combine it with several types of sword cultivation magical powers, you get the Immortal Sword Tactics! That is an immortal technique that can only be used after becoming an Undead Immortal!

The modern cultivation system was clearly laid out. At a certain level, cultivators would learn specific spiritual techniques. As long as they had the potential, they could follow the prescribed order to cultivate up to the corresponding immortal techniques successfully!

Other than Hundred Flying Swords Proficiency, I still need Featherweight Body Spell in case I have to flee… Finally, I need the Breath Holding Dao Art!

The Breath Holding Dao Art was the upgraded version of the Breath Holding Technique. In reality, it was not suitable for low-level cultivators.
However, Fang Yuan was ready to break through once he went into the Wasteland. He sensed that he would meet many people and troubles along the way, so he naturally needed to prepare for emergencies.
As for cultivating spiritual techniques? For him, it was non-existent.
By directly crystallizing his psyche strength, he could create arcane spell models. With that, he could store it within his Arcane Smart-Brain. This was equivalent to hammering these techniques into his brain a thousand times.
…
The next day at 6 am.
Fang Yuan changed into his sportswear. Carrying a hiking backpack, he arrived at East Dragon University’s main entrance.

Hi, Lin Meng! Over here!
Beatrice greeted him loudly.

Good morning, Senior!

Fang Yuan glanced over the party. Other than Sun Mengmeng and her, there were two other people. One was taller, with yellow skin and a cold gaze. The other was a Westerner with a bright smile.

This is Lin Meng. He’ll be joining our squad!
Beatrice smiled beautifully like a blooming flower.
I’ll introduce you. You already know Sun Mengmeng. These two are Lu Qiming and Paine. They’re both third-years and level five Mystics!


Hello.

Seeing that they were not happy to see him, Fang Yuan was disinclined to talk to them further. After a bland greeting, he turned to Sun Mengmeng.
Senior, you…

He recalled that this woman had always played it safe and only took on missions in school, not easily putting herself in danger without reason.
Even though it seemed to be a cowardly way of life, people like that lived longer.

Even though the school missions are safer, they don’t give enough credits…
Sun Mengmeng laughed bitterly.
As a student in pharmacy, I have to continuously learn to improve. This requires a lot of resources. I need way more!

Fang Yuan nodded, understanding what she meant.
Unlike him, she could not coordinate with the fusion reactor furnace perfectly. On top of that, she could not refine drugs like the low-tier brain development drug. Naturally, it would be difficult for her to accumulate credits.
Unfortunately, pharmacists relied heavily on experience, needing to spend lots of time and resources to practice. As such, it created a vicious cycle.
…

Wu Sanhuai is here!

Suddenly, Beatrice looked at a figure, and her face lit up expectantly.
In the mist, a figure approached gradually.
Wu Sanhuai walked out of the mist slowly. With confident steps, his aura was overwhelming. He reminded Fang Yuan of Lü Songyang.
He was a level eight Mystic, ancient cultivation’s Foundation Establishment stage.

Sir!
Beatrice welcomed him warmly. Her eyes lit up as she greeted him sweetly.
On the other hand, Sun Mengmeng’s expression looked bitter.

Haha. Have you been waiting for a long time, Beatrice?

Wu Sanhuai wrapped Beatrice into his arms without hesitation. His large hands began groping places they should not be, as if there were nobody around. Even Lu Qiming and Paine’s expressions turned dark.

No, we just got here. Anyway, isn’t it expected for us to wait for you?

Beatrice was indeed a social butterfly and highly adept. With a flash of movement, she gently untangled herself from his embrace.

Haha. Mengmeng is here too! Great! Wonderful!
Wu Sanhuai laughed loudly. However, he gave the impression of a vicious snake.
Relax, I’ll make sure that you’ll gain a lot by following me!

His cultivation was already equivalent to a regular teacher’s. With him around, it was like having a teacher take them out on an expedition. The danger was low, while the benefits were immense. It was no wonder that the conservative Sun Mengmeng came.

And this must be Lin Meng, the one you highly recommended, right?
Wu Sanhuai looked at Fang Yuan with a warm smile.
With his usual disposition of pride, this act of his was utterly shocking. Lu Qiming and Paine were wide-eyed.

It’s me!
Fang Yuan stepped forward and shook hands with Wu Sanhuai.

I’ve heard that Han Yunfeng regards you very highly and has praised you as a pharmacy genius! I love geniuses!

Wu Sanhuai’s mood changed quickly, leaving others feeling unsettled.
This time, you want some actual combat experience! Leave it to me! Furthermore, if you become one of Han Yunfeng’s students, I’ll take you to meet my cousin Wudi! He can support all of your expenses!


That’d be wonderful! Thank you!
Fang Yuan replied with a smile. He knew that this person was not as simple as he looked. Even though he followed his desires, he understood the rules.
No one admitted to East Dragon University was trash.
