40,000 Years of Cultivation

After "swallowing" about a dozen pieces of Ou Yezi's early memory fragments, Li Yao was surprised to find that a memory fragment that was originally an ordinary colored memory fragment had become radiant and gleaming!

Consciousness sneaked in to investigate, only to discover that memories that could only be observed can also be freely manipulated and observed repeatedly!

This discovery further strengthened his belief. As long as his soul grows stronger, the memory fragments that could not be used will one day become the most delicious "food" and be completely swallowed by him!

From this moment on, Li Yao almost forgot the passage of time.

He was like the most greedy thief. He accidentally found a treasure house of a wealthy and enemy country, plunged into the gold and silver treasures, stole happily, and never thought of leaving.

Ou Yezi's early memory was turned upside down by him and stole everything.

In repeated exercises again and again, the "One Hundred Eight-Hand Cloak and Random Hammer Method" was deeply imprinted in Li Yao's soul, and he would never forget it again.

In the real world, time is passing fast.

In the blink of an eye, a week passed.

The accident on Magic Island resulted in the tragic death of nine players, and one player was seriously injured and fell into a coma.

This is a tragedy rarely seen in the Federal Extreme Challenge over the years.

Because of this tragedy, the game ended hastily, and the investigation began immediately. It was quickly figured out that it was because a player illegally brought doping into the arena and was snatched by a monster. After the injection, an amazing mutation occurred!

However, this player was killed by the monster in the first place, paying the price for his actions with his life.

And the vendor who sold him the stimulant actually committed suicide in fear of sin after learning about it, and ended the whole incident to an unsatisfactory end.

After a thorough inspection of the vendor’s underground workshop, it was discovered that the "Ghost Dragon No. 7 Stimulant" he sold was not even the real Ghost Dragon No. 7, but the residue of several stimulants and potions. The mixture that was prepared, God knows what exactly is in it.

Only the monster's tyrannical body can withstand the devastation of this "counterfeit stimulant". If the student were injected, he would explode and die on the spot.

In the whole incident, the most regrettable thing, except for the nine candidates who died tragically, was Li Yao, who was seriously injured and fell into a coma.

The local news media in Floating City issued a series of commentary articles on the topic of "The Demon Star That Was Flickering".

"Student Li Yao was originally a rising star. He has just created unprecedented achievements in the Extreme Challenge, and has won the common attention of the nine elite joint schools!"

"Such a young man should have a bright future, but because of an accident, he lost the opportunity to step into the realm of comprehension prematurely. His brain was attacked by a weird spirit, and his pineal gland was almost completely torn apart. Root development has dropped to 7%, which is almost the level of a child in the lower grades of elementary school. Even if he can wake up, he may not be able to practice anymore!"

The article said in a very regretful tone.

In major forums, the comments from netizens on this are much more varied.

Many people regretted Li Yao: "It's a pity. If it weren't for this accident, I'm afraid he has been recruited by the nine elite joint schools. Now it is too miserable!"

There are also a large number of people who gloat and say bitterly: "Who told him to be so arrogant? Kill the entire blue command center? Kick out dozens of people all at once? Very powerful! This is all right, an accident. , Just beat him back to his original shape!"

But for most people, this is just a trivial matter.

In this era of information explosion, Tianda’s news can only be lively for three days, not to mention that the college entrance examination is approaching, and it is too late for everyone to practice crazy. Who will follow other people’s news all the time?

Isn't it just a genius who has fallen?

The Federation is so big, and every day there are many powerful men and geniuses, because of this and other reasons, they either go crazy, or are swallowed up by monsters, or die silently in secret sect fights.

Compared with them, what is Li Yao?

After a few days of lively activities, the accident that happened on Demon Jiao Island quickly fell silent, and Li Yao, the "flickering demon star", was also forgotten by everyone.

...

One week later, the First Hospital of Floating City, the Intensive Care Unit.

A huge metal medical cabin, engraved with circles of magic charms, forms a huge array of charms.

Hundreds of milky white crystal stones are also inlaid around the symbolic array, which oscillates slightly, emitting calming waves.

Li Yao lay motionless in the medical cabin, his body under the white sheet looked extremely thin and shriveled, with tubes all over his body, and a calming talisman on his forehead.

Under the magic talisman, his eyelids throbbed wildly, immersed in an extremely fierce nightmare.

Zhao Shude and Xie Tingxian stood on the bed, listening to a doctor in a white coat explaining Li Yao's condition.

"Student Li Yao's body is not serious, but he was injured by the mental attack of a mutant giant-eyed ape, his spiritual roots were completely torn, and his brain was in an extremely chaotic situation!"

"In order to protect the brain, his body naturally enters a state of'deep sleep'. In this state, his brain is like a black hole, frantically absorbing the energy in the odd meridians, the eight channels, and the limbs. Look, even if we keep injecting fortifying drugs and high-energy nutrient solutions into his body, it will not help."

"His brain can consume the energy that an ordinary human brain needs for a month or even a year in one second!"

The white coat sighed.

Zhao Shude frowned deeply and asked, "Doctor Gu, when will Li Yao wake up based on your experience? Also, his spiritual root is torn, and his spiritual root development is only 7%. Wake up After coming, how likely is it to recover?"

The white coat gave a wry smile and said:

"President Zhao, I am really ashamed. The situation of Li Yao is something I haven't encountered in so many years in the world of comprehension! The giant-eyed ape who attacked him is a mutant that has undergone a mutation after being injected with a stimulant. But this kind of stimulant is a mess of inferior medicine. No one knows the specific ingredients, nor the extent to which the mental attack of the giant ape is distorted, let alone the consequences for the human brain-in this case Next, we have to wait!"

The gloomy color on Zhao Shude's face became stronger and stronger, and he was a little disappointed: "Doctor Gu, you are the premier meditation master in Floating City. You have a deep knowledge of the spiritual realm, even you don't know?"

White coat said:

"The human brain is the most complex and mysterious organ; the spiritual realm is a mysterious world that ordinary people cannot imagine!"

"To this day, since the development of cultivation civilization, we already know the human body well; but the brain is still a forbidden zone that cannot be peeked!"

"I also tried to get into Li Yao's brain, but was blocked by a violent force, and almost went crazy-it seems that the stimulant must be very powerful, and it has strengthened the giant eye ape's mental attack to the extreme! "

"Under this circumstance, no one knows when Li Yao will be able to wake up. If you are lucky, you may wake up tomorrow; if you are not lucky, you may go through a'deep sleep' for the rest of your life. It is still unknown."

After a pause, he said, "However, there have been hundreds of cases in which the pineal gland is torn due to severe physical injuries and the development of spiritual roots has fallen sharply in the past three hundred years. After the roots are torn apart, they all become useless people who can’t cultivate. Only a few people can recover, up to seven or eight. So, if you ask me if Li Yao can still practice, my answer is—the probability is no more than 1%!"

Zhao Shude sighed long, the disappointment was beyond words.

He walked to the corner and opened the miniature crystal brain on his wrist, and a gentle middle-aged man appeared in the light curtain, it was the elder of the Chixiao faction "Zhou Yin"!

"Is there any hope?" Zhou Yin guessed it when he saw Zhao Shude's expression, and asked faintly.

"Yes, the doctor doesn't know when he will wake up. Even if he wakes up, the possibility of re-cultivation is less than 1%." Zhao Shude said regretfully.

Zhou Yin nodded, his expression unchanged: "It is a pity, but there is no way, the world of cultivation is so cruel, countless geniuses are born every second, and countless geniuses fall every second. To become a cultivator, talent and diligence He is a genius, but if he lacks a little luck, who can be blamed? From now on, all the resources that were originally planned to be put on him should be recovered. I remember Helianlie from your school. Both Si Jiaxue and Si Jiaxue are good, give those resources to these two people!"

"Yes, everything depends on Elder Zhou's arrangements. By the way, this Li Yao and Helianlie have made some misunderstandings on Demon Jiao Island. Director Helian is very upset. In case Li Yao wakes up, they..."

Zhao Shude asked tentatively.

Zhou Yin smiled very gently, and said: "I was optimistic about Li Yao, because he regarded him as a good seedling worth cultivating; but now, he has become a rubbish. What does it have to do with me? His business, no need Talk to me again."

"I understand."

Zhao Shude turned off Crystal Brain, walked to the white coat, and casually said: "Since even Doctor Gu said so, then I have to wait and see what happens. Doctor Gu, I'm going one step ahead-Professor Xie, what do you say?"

Xie Tingxian hesitated for a moment, and said, "I'll wait."

Zhao Shude nodded and walked out.

The moment he stepped out of the room, he looked back at Li Yao in the medical cabin.

Zhao Shude, the principal of Chixiao No.2 Middle School's eyes became extremely cold, as if looking at a bag of garbage.
