Phoenix Warrior of Full-Time Magister

Chapter 95 The Three-Step Tower

Instead of returning directly to Shanghai, the group headed straight to the Imperial University in Beijing, determined to seek justice.

On the way, they encountered Song Xia and her group who were leading Lu Zhenghe in another direction. They were very lucky and did not encounter Lu Zhenghe or any other powerful demons. They were the most relaxed of the three groups that had split up.

Upon hearing the news brought by Yunhua, Song Xia and the others were very surprised, especially Lu Zhenghe. He never expected that his beloved elder brother would kill Liao Mingxuan and Mingcong. Even Luo Song and Shen Mingxiao were driven to mental breakdown by the torture.

In Lu Zhenghe's heart, Lu Nian was a true older brother who took meticulous care of him. It seemed that Lu Nian would do everything he could to get him whatever he needed. Having lost his father at a young age, Lu Zhenghe regarded his older brother Lu Nian as a second father.

However, he never imagined that his elder brother was such a heartless and insane killer.

When his elder brother Lu Nian asked him to leave a signal along the way, saying that there was a mission to be completed, Lu Zhenghe agreed without thinking and left a signal along the way so that his elder brother Lu Nian could find him.

Is this still the older brother he knows?

But then Lu Zhenghe thought of himself. If it was just leaving a signal, he might be able to get a lighter sentence through his family connections. But after Lu Nian's ordeal, his fate would definitely not be good.

After the large group returned to the capital, they immediately went to see Principal Songhe of the Imperial Academy.

The students from the Imperial Capital Academy were somewhat more restrained, but the students from the Pearl Academy, led by their teachers Qiu Yuhua and Gu Han, made a hefty profit off Song He.

At first, Song He tried to defend himself, but the facts were clear: Lu Zhenghe of the Imperial Academy was an undercover agent who had helped Lu Nian persecute many students.

Moreover, Yunhua and the others brought Luo Song and Shen Mingxiao along. They sat not far away, silently watching the dazed and foolish man.

In the end, Songhe could only settle the matter by paying a large sum of compensation to everyone at Mingzhu Academy.

Not only that, the military is also involved. The compensation here was handled by Zhan Kong, who got it for Yun Hua and the others.

Yunhua was initially worried that doing this might affect Zhan Kong's image in the military, but Zhan Kong chuckled and said that there was no need to worry at all. If the military cared about such things, he would have quit long ago.

After chatting briefly with Yunhua and Mofan, Zhankong left to collect the debts for them.

The compensation was paid two days later. The military paid 15 million to one person, and the Imperial Capital University paid 10 million.

"This is amazing! This is enough to buy a top-grade spirit seed!" Zheng Bingxiao exclaimed happily. Although he had a contracted beast with considerable combat power, he himself was just a nobody.

However, Mu Nujiao and Zhao Manyan didn't care, since they were both from prominent families and were not short of money.

"Here's ten million for you, thank you for the fake demon seed." Mu Nujiao transferred the compensation to Yunhua's account, and Yunhua accepted it without hesitation.

Because Yunhua discovered Lu Zhenghe's abnormality and single-handedly hindered Lu Nian for a period of time, Yunhua received more compensation than the others.

Before leaving, those who survived the ordeal held a dinner party to celebrate their narrow escape from death.

After this incident, the relationships among the survivors improved significantly, and Yunhua even got Mu Ningxue's phone number.

Afterwards, the students from Mingzhu Academy stayed at the Imperial Capital Academy for a while. After the three-month exchange period, the students from Mingzhu Academy returned to their own schools.

In these three months, Yunhua's poison cultivation has made some progress, but it has not yet reached the same level as Mo Fan's third level. However, his space cultivation is about to reach the second level.

In fact, the students who returned from their training were much stronger than before, except for Luo Song and Shen Mingxiao. They didn't even know how long it would take for them to recover.

Upon returning to Mingzhu Academy, Yunhua immediately reported to Dr. Mei and gave her one of the Blood Pearls she had obtained.

Dr. Mei was very pleased with Yunhua's improvement in poison cultivation, which brought him one step closer to the third stage of the Hundred Beasts Evil Body.

As for the blood essence that Yunhua brought back, Dr. Mei didn't care much. She just glanced at it and told Yunhua that she would take a look at it when she had time.

Then Yunhua returned the bottle of demon-attracting powder specially made by Dr. Mei to Dr. Mei.

"Didn't you need it?"

Yunhua shrugged and said, "The situation at the time wasn't suitable for using it."

Dr. Mei chuckled. "Sprinkling demon-attracting powder on the enemy and then letting the demons deal with him is indeed a good idea. But it's not so easy to do; humans are very clever."

"Doctor, did you know I would use it this way?"

"I was a hunter when I was young, so I've seen plenty of things like this."

Afterwards, Yunhua recounted the events of this training to Dr. Mei. Dr. Mei remained noncommittal, but expressed disdain for Lu Nian's plan to obtain the test subjects through coercion.

Dr. Mei believes that experiments that grant subjects powerful abilities in a short period of time should ideally be conducted with the subjects' voluntary consent. Otherwise, if successful, the power gained could potentially be used to harm oneself.

During their subsequent casual conversation, Dr. Mei asked Yunhua about the Three-Step Pagoda.

Because Yunhua ranked first in the main campus assessment, he and several others had the opportunity to enter the Three-Step Tower. Dr. Mei wanted to know when Yunhua planned to use it.

As far as she knew, Ai Tutu had already used it when Yun Hua and the others were training, and Mu Nu Jiao seemed to be planning to use it recently as well, but she didn't know about Mo Fan.

After thinking for a moment, Yunhua told Dr. Mei that he planned to use it when he broke through to a higher level. In any case, he was confident that he could reach the third level of full cultivation with the potion Dr. Mei provided.

To everyone's surprise, Dr. Mei's expression turned strange after hearing this, and she told Yunhua something: "Didn't you know that students can directly apply to the school to use the Three-Step Tower once when they break through to a higher level?"

Yunhua: "?!?"

"So if I use it now, I can use it again once I reach level three and max out my skills."

Dr. Mei: "That's right, this has always been a rule of Pearl Academy, and any student of Pearl Academy can participate."

"I understand. I'll use this opportunity tomorrow to upgrade my Poison skill to level three or higher!"

At this moment, Dr. Mei reminded, "After the poison element reaches level three, don't rush to improve it. Instead, you should suppress your cultivation level."

A large part of your poison cultivation level was enhanced through drugs. Although you can't feel it normally, it will be detrimental to your future development in the long run.

While I hope you break through to the advanced level soon, I also know the saying, "Haste makes waste."
