Starting as an infant, with parents who are blond-haired delinquents?

It was only the second day, and just as Lei She was about to let Gu Yizheng go back to rest…

Suddenly, Gu Yi was blown away by a burst of energy!

This…

Lei She rushed forward, but separated by the synthetic space, he saw a look of wild joy on Gu Yi's face!

Chapter 272 Bewitched

His ecstatic joy was palpable, especially evident on Gu Yizheng's face.

It was precisely because he saw his smile that Resher's previously anxious heart gradually calmed down.

Lei She had been waiting in front of the synthetic space for nearly five or six hours, but Gu Yizheng still hadn't come out.

Furthermore, it seemed that Gu Yizheng had already begun his training in synthesizing artificial crystal cores in the afternoon, so even though he was in the third stage of the third-order artificial crystal core, the first thing that Lei She thought of was…

It wasn't his subsequent performance, or his improvement in personal abilities in synthesis.

Instead, one should avoid going astray and avoid causing the body to experience high levels of wear and tear during prolonged training.

Ignoring these external factors, Gu Yizheng demonstrated through his actions that he had ultimately succeeded in synthesizing the third-order crystal core!

Whew, whimper…

Gu Yizheng was breathing heavily when Lei She decisively opened the synthetic space, and Gu Yizheng appeared in front of him.

Gu Yizheng, after a long period of crystal core synthesis, was now completely red, because the spiritual energy in his body had repeated the same movement countless times.

During this period, Gu Yizheng not only experienced a burning pain all over his body, but also a sharp pain that penetrated deep into his bones.

Of course, Gu Yizheng did not feel any pain at all, because he was in a state of extreme excitement. Gu Yizheng was completely immersed in his gains.

On this day, after nearly ten hours of continuous fighting, he finally broke through his shackles. Despite being in a high-pressure environment, he did not feel discouraged, but instead went even further.

This is a good thing for him, and for his teacher, Rescher…

"No, no!"

Suddenly, Lei She noticed that Gu Yi's whole body was red, and even some parts of his skin, including the skin on his fingers, were emitting wisps of black smoke.

Accompanied by a refreshing scent, but this scent was not a good omen; it was the scent emanating from the burning of spiritual energy.

A special fragrance is produced by burning spiritual energy.

Furthermore, only pure spiritual energy possessed by humans can emit such a delicate fragrance. The spiritual energy of demonic beasts is too impure, which is why demonic beast meat has never tasted very good.

He's on fire, that's right. The condition and smell emanating from Gu Yizheng precisely indicate that he is now engulfed in flames.

The medium for combustion was nothing other than the spiritual energy that circulated repeatedly within his body.

However, in a state of extreme excitement, Gu Yizheng was currently only focused on firmly holding the third-order artificial synthetic crystal core that he had just successfully synthesized using ten hours of his own energy...

How could they possibly care about anything else?

Instantly, the surrounding temperature dropped sharply. He turned his head and saw that Lei She had already put an arm around Gu Yizheng.

The sudden drop in temperature brought Gu Yizheng, who had been in a state of high spirits and enthusiasm, to a standstill, and he began to realize that something was wrong.

"Teacher, am I... going mad with demonic possession?"

Lei She didn't speak, he nodded. As the temperature dropped, the spiritual energy in Gu Yizheng's body gradually began to burn more slowly.

In reality, the burning of spiritual energy caused by going astray in cultivation is not a normal high-temperature burning, but rather because a person has exceeded the limits of their own spiritual energy's repetitive endurance and number of repetitions.

Therefore, Gu Yizheng, who had exhausted his spiritual energy, suffered from physical strain, which turned into flames that burned away his spiritual energy and his own physical body.

Having calmed down, Gu Yizheng finally felt the pain in his body. Even as strong as a third-level martial artist, Gu Yizheng was now grimacing.

Even if a martial artist is of a high rank, they are not necessarily more resistant to this kind of spiritual energy burning.

The higher a martial artist's rank, the more times they can resist fatigue and consume spiritual energy. However, once this limit is exceeded, the spiritual energy in the bodies of high-ranking martial artists burns even more fiercely.

It is entirely in line with the strength they possess.

Seeing that he could only suppress the flames in his body and could not completely eradicate them, Lei She and the other two pondered the situation. Meanwhile, Gu Yizheng did not expect to pour out all of his spiritual power.

He didn't have Zhang Chaoqiang's quick wit. Zhang Chaoqiang had also tried to go into a state of demonic possession before, and he would never forget that feeling, but it didn't bother him for long because he immediately cleared all his spiritual energy on the spot.

Regenerating spiritual power through the body and replenishing pure spiritual power from the crystal core, although this process takes one or two days, is ultimately much more worthwhile compared to the damage to the body.

However, Gu Yizheng at present has never even considered or thought of doing this, and even if he did, he would probably never be willing to do so.

Because tomorrow and the day after are the last project, the second and third days of the quality competition.

The third day is particularly crucial, as it's the final. He's working so hard to overcome his weaknesses, completely elevating his abilities to a new level...

How could one possibly clear all the spiritual energy from their body?

Does that mean I'm not guaranteed a place in the final event of the synthesis competition?

The most important element in synthesis is one's own spiritual power, followed by mental power. Without spiritual power, mental power has no medium to carry out its movement.

If an adult male's spiritual energy is completely depleted, it will take at least three to five days to absorb the spiritual energy from the crystal core and, in conjunction with his own body's reproductive functions, replenish and grow back the spiritual energy that his body should have contained.

At this stage, Zhang Chaoqiang and Gu Yi are different from ordinary adults.

Because they are geniuses, and geniuses are usually beyond the ordinary human condition.

Gu Yizheng thought that, given his recovery speed and time, it would take at least two full days for him to fully recover.

Two days! These two days span the entire last two days of the competition. Even a day and a half would significantly diminish Gu Yizheng's strength, making it impossible for him to secure the top spot.

His hard work and dedication to training and research today, culminating in this breakthrough, all have one purpose: to prepare for the upcoming quality final.

However, if he actively clears the spiritual energy in his body to prevent the burning spiritual energy from affecting his body, then it will take two days to recover.

These past two days have essentially been a vacuum period for Gu Yizheng. Even though he spent a whole day in the finals and has been able to recover some of his strength, it's still a world of difference compared to his current peak...

One sky and one earth.

It was originally prepared for the competition...

He wouldn't allow anything else to hinder his goals...

Therefore, he would never choose to empty his spiritual power.

Gu Yi stiffly turned his head toward Lei She, pleading, "Teacher, please help me..."

Without him needing to say much, Lei She had actually been cooling down Gu Yizheng's body to calm him down and applying pressure to the burning spiritual energy on Gu Yizheng's body to prevent further attacks.

Meanwhile, Lei She's mind was racing, trying to figure out how to reverse the current situation that Gu Yizheng was in.

This was a crucial point, so after seeing Lei She remain silent, Gu Yizheng placed all his hopes on Lei She.

However, Lei She did not allow Gu Yizheng to remain in that dangerous situation for too long.

After a moment's thought, Lei She took his hand off Gu Yizheng's shoulder and waved it toward the finger on which he wore a ring.

In an instant, a jade bottle appeared in his hand.

Lei She exhaled, blowing the lid off the jade bottle, and a surge of cold air from the abyss instantly rushed into Gu Yizheng's body.

"The jade bottle contains a cold pill, which temporarily seals the vital signs of the person who takes it. All signs related to life will temporarily stop until the antidote is taken, at which point the person will return to a state of vitality."

Gu Yizheng, since you care so much about this match, then take it to prevent your spiritual energy from being further burned. Afterwards, I will take you to find the physician at the museum.

In this state of frenzied, almost demonic, burning energy, they have a way of minimizing damage to their original life force.

Gu Yizheng looked at the extremely cold-looking pill in front of him and swallowed hard.

The next second, he decisively took it in his hand, the instant he touched the Cold Pill…

His hands lost all feeling, just like his numb torso. Then, his body resisted the corrosive effects of the cold pill.

He tried to swallow the Cold Pill, but his body's instincts prevented him from swallowing it.

His subconscious, instinctive reaction caused him to vomit up all of the cold pills at once.

Of course, given the current situation, Lei She did not continue to give him the medication, because he knew that Gu Yizheng was in such a state that he could not swallow anything at all.

Then, he used his spiritual power to disperse the Cold Pill and carry it into Gu Yizheng's body.

About half a minute later, Gu Yizheng's vital signs dropped drastically, and then gradually began to decrease.

Until it disappears.

As if being watched by the eyes of an ancient mythical beast called Medusa, Gu Yizheng was petrified and motionless. Lei She led him to the doctor's residence ten kilometers away and woke him up that very night.

"You gave him the Cold Pill?"

The physician at the museum was somewhat surprised, after all, this Cold Pill was a valuable treasure, and if it were just a case of qi deviation, there would be no need for such a great deal of trouble…

With proper guidance, and while Lei She helps Gu Yizheng suppress the constantly burning spiritual energy within his body, Gu Yizheng only needs to clear his own spiritual energy.

Why waste a spiritual medicine like Cold Pill, which uses many green-rarity spiritual plants as auxiliary ingredients, or even a purple-rarity one as the main medicinal ingredient?

Of course, as an observer, the doctor was naturally unaware of Gu Yizheng's reasons.

"Perhaps you have your own concerns," the physician muttered, and began to prepare the medicinal ingredients to extinguish the burning spiritual energy.

He said, "It's fortunate that you used the Cold Pill on him, Director Lei. Otherwise, if it had continued to burn, although you could have suppressed it to some extent, it would have still burned and melted his foundation, talent, and even his lifeline..."

By then, even a god couldn't save you. If possible, you should prioritize your own life in all things…

After the doctor gave his instructions, Lei She nodded repeatedly in agreement, but sometimes, the difference between a single thought and reality is just too great.

After the physician finished processing the elixir, he placed the motionless Gu Yizheng into a large wooden tub.

The wooden tub contained the medicine prepared by the doctor, who told Lei She that soaking in it overnight would extinguish the burning flames inside Gu Yizheng's body.

Subsequently, Lei She concentrated the antidote that would lift Gu Yizheng's current lifeless state into a medicinal power and transmitted it into Gu Yizheng's body.

After absorbing the medicinal power, Gu Yizheng, who had previously lost all vitality and whose life signs had become calm, gradually recovered the state of the Cold Pill's medicinal power within his body.

Knowing that his spiritual power would not be depleted, Gu Yizheng was finally relieved. Lei She saw how much he valued the final match.

In fact, he did not want to see this happen.

The more Gu Yizheng values ​​the upcoming matches, the more it shows that he can't let go of his repeated defeats against Zhang Chaoqiang.

He couldn't accept it at all, and sometimes being too focused was also a sign of fear.

The first instance of qi deviation is likely closely related to Zhang Chaoqiang's combat performance.

In this regard, Rescher must give Gu Yizheng a good talking-to, so that he can face the upcoming matches and the challenges in his life with a calm mind.
