Chapter 154: Puzzlement

“Senior Zhou!” Seeing this, Dean Shi also retracted the pressure from his body and stretched out his hand.

Zhou Hao shook Shi Zhi’s hand. “Where’s that Xu Ling?”

Dean Shi smiled and said, “Senior Zhou is indeed swift and decisive. Xu Ling is in the quiet room next door. I’ll demonstrate how to suppress the poison later.”

“Sure.”

The two of them quickly arrived at the quiet room next door and saw Xu Ling lying on a bed that was emitting a cold aura.

“This is the Ice Marrow Jade Bed. It can effectively reduce the spread of the Blood Poison Centipede in her body. She can only lie for an hour every day.” As Dean Shi spoke, he walked to the side of the jade bed and raised his hand to suddenly press down on Xu Ling’s body.

Boom.

The powerful aura of a sixth-grade supernatural expert fell like a star, and the silence in the quiet room instantly disappeared.

However, Zhou Hao sensed that Shi Zhi’s control of his strength and aura was exquisite.

Such a huge pressure did not damage Xu Ling at all. Instead, it circulated along the meridians in Xu Ling’s body to suppress the poison.

Squeak!

Waves of sharp centipede sounds sounded.

“This is the Blood Poison Centipede resisting. The Blood Poison Centipede that the Dark Gods planted is a king-level insect beast and is extremely poisonous. If not for the fact that they immediately forced the Blood Poison Centipede out, I’m afraid this girl would have been gone by now.” As Shi Zhi spoke, fine sweat actually appeared on his forehead. Clearly, suppressing the poison of the Blood Poison Centipede was quite a burden on him.

After a moment, he retracted his palm and sat in a chair beside him while panting.

“Senior Zhou, do you understand?”

Zhou Hao nodded and walked towards Xu Ling.

Xu Ling was awake at this moment. When she saw Zhou Hao, she hurriedly thanked him. “Thank you, sir!”

Zhou Hao smiled and said, “You’re welcome. Don’t worry, you’ll get better.”

With that said, he raised his hand and pressed down.

A violent aura spread out and suddenly entered Xu Ling’s meridians. According to the order in which Dean Shi’s meridians circulated previously, he carefully controlled his aura and quickly approached.

Squeak!

The poison of the Blood Poison Centipede vaguely transformed into the shape of a huge centipede that crazily resisted Zhou Hao’s aura. However, Zhou Hao’s aura was too domineering, as if it was crushing everything in its path, causing the poison of the Blood Poison Centipede to constantly shrink.

Shi Zhi, who was watching from the side, widened his eyes. He did not expect this Senior Zhou’s strength to be even stronger than he had expected.

His aura surged.

In just dozens of seconds, the poison of the Blood Poison Centipede was compressed into a meridian on Xu Ling’s arm.

Seeing this, Dean Shi hurriedly said, “Senior Zhou, that’s enough. If you continue to suppress it, the poison of the Blood Poison Centipede will explode.”

Hearing this, Zhou Hao hurriedly stopped, and the poison of the Blood Poison Centipede immediately entered dormancy, forming a dark circle on Xu Ling’s arm.

Shi Zhi smiled. “Very good, the effect is much better than I expected. Xu Ling, you can rest assured now. Once the Blood Poison Centipede’s poison enters a dormant state, as long as it isn’t provoked by its own kind, it won’t emit its poison.”

Xu Ling said excitedly, “Director, does that mean that… that I’m fine?”

Shi Zhi nodded. “You can think of it that way. After all, the Blood Poison Centipede is very rare. The probability of you encountering another one is very small. The Blood Poison Centipede will basically never erupt.”

“Thank you, Dean. Thank you, Senior Zhou!” Xu Ling cried tears of joy as she stood up and bowed in gratitude.

“This Ice Marrow Jade Bed is beneficial to your body. Continue lying there. In the future, you can also come to the quiet room to lie for an hour every day,” Shi Zhi reminded.

When Xu Ling heard this, she hurriedly lay down.

Zhou Hao looked at Shi Zhi and could not help but have a good impression of him. It was indeed commendable for such a supernatural expert to be willing to consider the safety of a master-level student.

The two of them left the quiet room. Shi Zhi could not help but sigh and say, “Senior Zhou, the current situation of the war between humans and the foreign races on Earth is not optimistic. An expert like you is as rare as a phoenix feather or a qilin horn. Therefore, I hope you can stay in the fortress base.”

Zhou Hao became puzzled. After hesitating for a moment, he still asked, “Dean Shi, to be honest with you, I only recently gained some insight and my strength has improved drastically. Therefore, I don’t know much about the top supernatural experts of humanity. However, after more than a hundred years of The Cataclysm, our humans on Earth should have accumulated a lot of top supernatural experts. How could…”

“There are indeed many peak-level supernatural experts,” Shi Zhi interrupted. “But very few remain on Earth.”

Zhou Hao was stunned. “Dean Shi, why? If those peak supernatural experts didn’t stay on Earth to resist the foreign races’ invasion, where could they have gone?”
