“Zhao Xiyue, you’re crazy!”
Zhou Feifei exclaimed in surprise, not expecting Zhao Xiyue to actually dare to eat it.
However, the spiritual energy pill’s effects were absorbed very quickly after entering the mouth. Before Zhou Feifei could take any action, the spiritual energy pill had already vanished instantly.
Azure energy flowed into her body through the spiritual meridians in her cavities.
Zhao Xiyue furrowed her brows, her eyes tightly shut.
After a while, she suddenly opened her eyes, a flash of blue darting through her pupils.
“Hoo!”
Zhao Xiyue slowly exhaled a wisp of turbid air, her entire mental state greatly invigorated.
It seemed her strength had improved!
“How was it? I told you it was fine!”
Zhao Xiyue said proudly.
“This…”
Zhou Feifei peered at Zhao Xiyue with disbelief for a long time, truly finding no abnormality in her.
This, however, surprised her even more.
Could Zhang Chen really refine spiritual energy pills that completely removed the violent energy?
If this were true, then Zhang Chen’s contribution in this single instance would be enough to revolutionize the entire field of spiritual energy pharmaceuticals.
“Uh…”
Zhao Xiyue, who had been smiling moments ago, suddenly turned pale, beads of sweat appearing on her forehead.
“I feel a bit unwell!”
Zhao Xiyue said softly.
“As expected, I knew it was impossible for anyone to truly clear the violent energy!”
“Hurry and send her to the infirmary. Let the doctors see if they can find a way to expel the violent energy from your body!”
Zhou Feifei said anxiously.
“No problem, Principal Zhou, leave this to me!”
Zhang Chen quickly took Zhao Xiyue’s arm and headed for the infirmary.
Zhou Feifei had other classes, and even with the side effects of a Grade 1 spiritual energy pill, they wouldn’t be too severe.
The worst-case scenario would be recuperating for half a month before recovering.
As for whether there would be any lingering after-effects, that was hard to say.
“Sigh!”
Watching Zhao Xiyue’s pained retreating figure, Zhou Feifei shook her head helplessly and sighed,
“The love between young people… it’s completely driven by impulse…”
Zhang Chen supported Zhao Xiyue as they walked out of the teaching building and onto a secluded path.
Zhao Xiyue immediately straightened her body, acting as if nothing was wrong.
She reached out to wipe the sweat from her forehead and said with confusion,
“That spiritual energy pill clearly had no side effects, why did you secretly give me a signal to pretend to be sick?”
“Doesn’t everyone strive to get into a top university to contribute their talents, become like ancient heroes, and leave their name in history?”
“Now, the opportunity right before you is excellent. This is a problem that generations of people couldn’t overcome, yet you’ve conquered it so easily!”
“If it were me, I would immediately call my dad and older brother to show off to them!”
“But you, you’re acting like you’ve stirred up a hornet’s nest, so nervous. I really don’t understand you!”
Zhao Xiyue sat on a bench, fanning herself, and said.
“Sigh, I have my own hidden reasons, and I also feel that the violent energy in my spiritual core has been cleansed.”
“I don’t know why, but the moment these energies came into contact with me, I could easily distinguish many mixed energies from the violent energy.”
“So, I’m also very confident that the violent energy has indeed been altered.”
“Otherwise, I definitely would have stopped you when you went to eat just now. I couldn’t let you be a guinea pig!”
Zhang Chen said with a smile.
“It doesn’t matter. If you don’t want to say it, I won’t force you. But I believe you’ll eventually tell me!”
Zhao Xiyue suddenly said with a sly smile.
“Also, I need to remind you, the next class is Spirit Contract Summoning. Be careful, don’t summon anything terrifying out!”
“If that happens, it won’t be something I can fix by just pretending to have a stomachache.”
Hearing this, Zhang Chen couldn’t help but frown.
Spirit Contract Summoning?
Just the name of the course sounded troublesome!
He could pretend the spiritual energy pill was refined unsuccessfully, or that he couldn’t release his spiritual energy. Those were simple.
But Spirit Contract Summoning?
Zhang Chen had read similar articles, and it seemed that spirit contracts appeared automatically when they resonated with the spiritual energy within the body.
This was not something he could control.
“I hope nothing goes wrong…”
Zhang Chen prayed silently in his heart.
