Chapter 359 - 357: Severed Arm Regeneration
BOOM!!
WHOOSH!!
While everyone was chatting idly, a black dot in the distance grew larger and larger, transforming into a massive steel aircraft in just a few moments.
It blotted out the sun, casting an immense shadow over everyone as a powerful gust of wind washed over them.
WHIRRR!!
The all-red Giant Sparrow transport plane slowly descended onto the plaza.
The massive cabin door opened, and figures began to walk out one by one.
"Dad!"
"Aheng!"
The students emerged one after another, each finding their family and leaving.
"Old Lin, let’s get together again when we have the chance!"
"We’ll grab a drink next time..."
After saying their goodbyes to Lin Zhen, the other old friends departed.
Lin Zhen waited until the very end, growing puzzled when his son still hadn’t emerged from the plane.
"Old Lin, let’s go inside!"
"Lin Qi is in there!"
Yue Feng, the Vice Hall Master, said with a smile before entering the cabin.
Lin Zhen nodded. ’No wonder Yue Feng was the one who came to pick me up this morning,’ he thought, and followed him into the plane.
"Dad!"
"Uncle Lin!"
Inside, Lin Qi and Jiangtao stood up to greet him.
Lin Zhen blinked as he looked at Lin Qi. He hadn’t seen him in a semester, and his son had gotten even more handsome.
His Qi Blood had grown much stronger, and he even radiated a powerful pressure.
The young man seemed to be glowing, exceptionally dazzling.
He was shocked. ’It seems Little Qi was telling the truth on the phone. He really has broken through to the Fourth Realm.’
"Uncle Yue!" Lin Qi greeted Yue Feng.
"Little Qi, you’ve given me another huge surprise!" Yue Feng clapped Lin Qi on the shoulder and laughed heartily.
He couldn’t help but feel overjoyed whenever he thought about Lin Qi winning the global freshman championship.
And the fact that many leaders at headquarters had been disciplined made him even happier.
After Lin Zhen sat down, Yue Feng explained:
"Old Lin!"
"Lin Qi’s status is different now, so we need to be mindful of his safety!"
"This is Liu Jing. Dean Liu is the vice dean of Lin Qi’s institute," Yue Feng said, making the introduction.
"Hello, Dean Liu!"
Lin Zhen nodded, greeting Dean Liu.
"Hello!" Dean Liu replied enthusiastically.
This was the man who had fathered a top-level genius like Lin Qi; he wouldn’t dare to be disrespectful.
...
A short while later, the red Giant Sparrow transport plane arrived at the Imperial View Mansion District.
WHOOSH!!
The plane landed in the district’s plaza. The cabin door opened, and Lin Zhen, Lin Qi, and Jiangtao walked out.
Meanwhile, Hall Master Yue Feng and the Dean of the Ninth Institute took the transport to another destination.
At the entrance of standalone villa number 66.
"I’m finally back!"
Lin Qi gazed at his front gate, sighing at how quickly time had passed. A few more months had gone by in the blink of an eye.
"Brother Qi, I’m heading home first!"
Jiangtao said his goodbye, then eagerly hurried back to his own villa.
Upon entering the villa, the aroma of a home-cooked meal immediately wafted from the spacious living room.
"You must be tired from the journey. Come and eat!"
His mom, Fang Huiyi, said with a smile as she served both of them heaping bowls of rice.
And so, the family of three was reunited, finally able to sit down and eat together again.
"Little Qi, I can hardly recognize you anymore. You even managed to win the global freshman championship."
"Now Old Guo and the others have gotten even more enthusiastic. It’s almost too much for me to handle," his dad, Lin Zhen, said with a shake of his head.
Lin Qi chuckled. "Dad, you’ll have to get used to it."
His mom, Fang Huiyi, smiled and said:
"Our family has gone through a lot of changes these past few months, too."
"Your dad and your uncle started a company together and went into business with Old Guo and his group."
"In just a few months, they’ve earned several million Xia Country Coins."
"We don’t need you to send us money anymore. We can earn it ourselves now."
Lin Zhen also spoke up with a smile. With his successful career, he seemed to radiate an astonishing vitality.
"With the money, your mom and I have also bought a lot of Cultivation Resources. Our Qi and Blood Values are improving every day."
"Your mother is a Third Realm Martial Artist now, too."
"Before long, I have a good chance of breaking through to the Fourth Realm."
Lin Qi nodded. ’With money, Mom and Dad have resumed their Martial Arts journey. They can become even stronger.’
’If they keep cultivating like this, they might even break through to become High Realm Martial Artists in the future.’
"Next, we’re planning to save up to buy the Water of Rebirth for your dad, to regenerate his severed arm," his mom, Fang Huiyi, said, laying out their plan after taking a bite of vegetables.
Lin Qi shook his head. "No need to save up!"
With that, he stood up, opened his backpack from the sofa, and took out a white and green metal box.
The box was about the size of a brick. Lin Qi placed it on the table and said:
"Dad, this is a gift for you!"
"This is...?"
Lin Zhen asked curiously. He could sense that the item inside was exceptionally valuable.
"The Water of Rebirth!" Lin Qi replied simply.
"The Water of Rebirth??"
Lin Zhen and Fang Huiyi were stunned, their minds reeling as if struck by a tidal wave.
"The Water of Rebirth... if I remember correctly, it costs at least 50 million Xia Country Coins, right?" Lin Zhen’s voice began to tremble.
His expression as he looked at the white and green box was a mixture of shock and intense longing.
Lin Qi smiled. "It’s only 50 million Xia Country Coins. I got 150 million in prize money for winning the global freshman championship."
"I also get tens of millions in prize money regularly, so I’m not short on cash."
Lin Zhen and Fang Huiyi breathed a sigh of relief upon hearing that, but they were still deeply shaken.
Tens of millions was already an amount beyond their imagination, let alone 150 million in prize money.
It was almost beyond their comprehension.
"Dad, you should take it after dinner!" Lin Qi said with a smile.
"Okay, okay!!"
At this point, Lin Zhen had lost his appetite. After taking just a few quick bites of food, he was done.
He moved to the living room sofa and slowly opened the metal box.
BEEP!
The metal box opened automatically, revealing a bottle of deep green liquid nestled inside.
Compared to the Bone Tempering Liquid, this was a pure green, with a gem-like luster and not a single impurity.
"Dad, you can just drink the Water of Rebirth directly," Lin Qi said from the side.
Lin Zhen nodded, suppressing his excitement. ’After more than a decade, is my severed arm finally going to be restored?’
He carefully opened the bottle and poured the crystal-clear green liquid into his mouth.
Seeing a tiny bit left, he shook it vigorously, using his strength to get every last drop into his mouth.
Only when the entire Potion was in his stomach did he set the empty bottle down.
"Old Lin, how do you feel?" his mom, Fang Huiyi, asked with concern.
"Right now, I..."
"I feel incredible!"
As soon as the Water of Rebirth entered his stomach, Lin Zhen felt a vast surge of life force pour into his body, activating every single one of his cells.
They began to divide frantically.
"So itchy!"
In an instant, he felt a tingling numbness in his left arm. He reached up and removed his mechanical prosthesis.
Lin Qi watched as his dad’s body suddenly began to emit a faint green glow, a torrential wave of life force surging from him.
After the prosthesis was removed, the atrophied mass of muscle at his shoulder began to expand at a rate visible to the naked eye.
"Old Lin, your arm!"
His mom, Fang Huiyi, covered her mouth as she watched Lin Zhen’s arm spring to life and begin to regenerate.
Muscle, blood, veins, bone—the complex tissues of the human body started to reform.
Lin Zhen furrowed his brow. The arm was intensely itchy, and it was accompanied by a wave of pain.
But it was all bearable. His heart pounded wildly as he watched his own arm regrow, his entire being in a state of extreme excitement.
