Evolving infinitely from ground zero

Only after Lin Zichen asked him to leave did he reluctantly make the rational choice to abandon Lin Zichen, prioritizing his own safety.

Therefore, he didn't feel embarrassed to face Lin Zichen like the others did.

When he asked this question, everyone else was all ears.

They were also very curious about how Lin Zichen managed to escape from the fox-eared girl's grasp.

After all, that fox-eared girl was so powerful that she had taken control of the instructor, Lu Tianrong, in an instant, terrifyingly strong.

In the face of everyone's curiosity, Lin Zichen calmly said, "I didn't escape; I drove her off."

Huh?

Drove her off?

Hearing this answer, those who didn't know the full story all widened their eyes with disbelief.

The fox-eared girl who could instantly control Lu Tianrong, whose Biological Level was as high as an advanced Sixth Order, was driven off by you, an ordinary individual?

What a joke?!

Zhang Kai asked curiously, "How did you drive the fox-eared girl off?"

Before Lin Zichen could explain, Lu Tianrong approached from nearby and said, "That fox-eared girl's physique isn't strong; she just has outstanding spiritual power."

"At the beginning, when she was controlling me, she consumed too much spiritual power, which caused her strength to decline significantly."

"Then, Lin Zichen drove her off by taking advantage of his superior physical strength."

"..."

The crowd listened and suddenly understood.

So that's how it was.

No wonder Lin Zichen was able to drive off the fox-eared girl.

It turned out the fox-eared girl had run out of mana.

A mage without mana is just like a gunwoman without her gun; any healthy adult male could lethally strike her down with a physical advantage.

On the other hand, Yuan Dongzhi found Lu Tianrong's explanation somewhat amusing after she heard it.

She had seen the entire process of Lin Zichen's battle with the fox-eared girl.

She knew that at that time, the fox-eared girl was full of spirit and had hardly expended any at all.

Her inability to defeat Lin Zichen was purely because her spiritual power couldn't create a gap between them and Lin Zichen.

...

About half an hour passed.

Over the hills, a large military aircraft appeared.

It was the true reinforcements from the military district.

Moreover, it was the female officer Yao Heling who personally led the team.

Seeing this, everyone breathed a sigh of relief.

They were finally saved.

The day's disaster was finally coming to an end.

They could go home now.

Soon, the aircraft's hatch opened.

Yao Heling alighted with several mechanically modified humans and landed on the hill.

"Commander Yao."

Lu Tianrong greeted her respectfully.

Yao Heling nodded her head without speaking and went straight to Yuan Dongzhi, asking, "Dongzhi, why has your mutation become so severe?"

She was feigning ignorance, showing her concern for Yuan Dongzhi.

Yuan Dongzhi said in a cool voice, "The military district's support arrived too late, and there was a traitor who opened Shanhai number to join the Ninth Elder of the Divine Plant Cult against me, forcing me to excessively activate the Exotic Beast Gene in my body in order to take on both of them."

This statement seemed to describe the situation, but in reality, it was an expression of dissatisfaction.

The headquarters of Nanjiang Province's military district had invited so many talents to the special training camp, but they couldn't even guarantee the safety of the trainees.

It was sheer incompetence.

Incompetence to the point of being incomprehensible, leading to disappointment and anger.

Yao Heling pretended not to notice Yuan Dongzhi's dissatisfaction and quickly took out a vial of the antidote, handing it over with an apologetic face, "This is the military district's newly developed top-grade anti-mutation reagent, its effect is ten times that of those available on the market. You look to be in a bad state now; you should inject one immediately."

"I feel okay for now, I can inject it after returning."

Yuan Dongzhi took the reagent and coldly stored it in her bosom.

Yao Heling said nothing and quickly began organizing everyone to board the plane and leave to return to the military district.

...

After boarding the aircraft.

Yao Heling and Yuan Dongzhi sat in a partition close to 30 square meters in size, drinking hot tea brewed with Spirit Fruits, as they discussed matters in a serious mood.

Yuan Dongzhi briefly recounted what had happened earlier in the coastal forest.

She mentioned that the Shanhai number mech self-destructed, the Ninth Elder of the Divine Plant Cult had disappeared without a trace, and the remaining Heretics were all buried at the bottom of the sea.

Additionally, she brought up the fox-eared girl who had attacked Lin Zichen.

"Has a vulpine woman appeared?"

Yao Heling's brows furrowed, and her expression became grave.

Vulpine women are intelligent creatures from the Origin Land; their appearance on Earth means that there is a new biological channel, one beyond our monitoring.

Previously, it was only suspected that a new biological channel had emerged.

Now, there is no need for suspicion; the evidence is concrete.

Thinking this, Yao Heling pondered, "Vulpine women usually stay neutral, guarding their own territory and rarely interfacing with outsiders. How did one suddenly come to Earth uninvited?"

Yuan Dongzhi replied, "She came looking for a cultivation cauldron."

Yao Heling became even more puzzled, "She came to Earth to find a cultivation cauldron?"

In the Origin Land, geniuses, both in number and quality, far surpass those on Earth; why would a vulpine woman specifically come to Earth to find a cultivation cauldron?

Are heretic beings not attractive?

Or are various intelligent creatures favored by the heavens not strong enough?

This made no sense.

Yuan Dongzhi said indifferently, "I also find it strange, but that vulpine woman genuinely came to Earth to find a cultivation cauldron, and she has taken a liking to Lin Zichen."

Yao Heling was still puzzled, "Although Lin Zichen is highly talented, there are countless more talented geniuses in the Origin Land; I can't understand why a vulpine woman, popular there, would take an interest in him."

"Could it be that she was swayed by Lin Zichen's handsome looks and took a fancy to him?"

"That's not it; it's not a whimsical fancy."

"She deliberately came from the Origin Land to Earth to find a cultivation cauldron; even if she hadn't encountered Lin Zichen, she would have looked for another man on Earth."

"So what's the real reason behind this?"

Yao Heling was baffled and became increasingly puzzled the more she thought about it.

Yuan Dongzhi guessed, "Maybe she just wanted to try something new."

"Can you even try something new with this?"

After saying this, Yao Heling continued, "There's only one original yin, and once it's gone, it's gone. It doesn't seem likely that a vulpine woman would give hers away just for a taste of something new."

Yuan Dongzhi disagreed, "Hard to say, the world is full of wonders; perhaps some vulpine women don't care about their original yin and like to seek novelty."

That's what she said, but in her heart, she thought differently.

In terms of Qi-Blood, Lin Zichen was capable of killing, without any injury, a heavily wounded higher Sixth Order adversary with just an Ordinary Ninth Rank body.

Regarding spiritual power, Lin Zichen could resist the illusion technique attacks of a same-rank vulpine woman.

Such astonishing talent was elite even in the Origin Land.

Plus, his looks were exceptionally good.

It was completely normal for the vulpine girl to fancy him and to choose him as her cultivation cauldron.

As for why the vulpine girl came to Earth,

Yuan Dongzhi guessed that she did not specifically come to Earth to look for a cauldron but was driven by curiosity to experience Earth for herself.

Then, during the process of satisfying her curiosity, she learned about Lin Zichen from the Divine Plant Cult and thought he suited her, was to her liking, and casually chose him as her cultivation cauldron.

Yuan Dongzhi's speculation was quite logical.

But unfortunately, she was wrong.

Because the vulpine girl had indeed come to Earth specifically to find a cultivation cauldron.

Her father was an Earthling, who, after deceiving her mother for money and pleasure and impregnating her, vanished without a trace, never to be heard from again.

Yet even so, her mother harbored an unfading obsession with her father, refusing other male creatures despite being manipulated emotionally and abandoned – he was irreplaceable.

Her mother would even tell her daily how wonderful her father, who left at the drop of a hat, was.

Although irresponsible, he was indeed very charming.

Under her mother's influence, she grew up curious about Earth men.

She thought about finding an Earth man as her cultivation cauldron in the future to see what was so good about them that made her mother constantly pine for him.

"How is the military area now?"

After discussing the topic of the vulpine woman, Yuan Dongzhi shifted the conversation to this matter.

Yao Heling took a sip of tea and smiled, "Completely suppressed."

"Including those you dealt with, a total of 47 heretics embedded for years have been rooted out."

"It's almost a complete purge of the heretics within the entire military area, a vast haul."

A vast haul?

Yuan Dongzhi thought this phrase sounded odd.

Seeing the smile that remained on Yao Heling's face, she keenly sensed something off.

Her face suddenly turned cold as she said, "Don't tell me that this military training exercise was a setup by the military area to cleanse the heretics, using the trainees as bait for a fishing law enforcement operation."

The female officer's face subtly changed upon hearing this, but it was fleeting, and she quickly furrowed her brows and said, "You can eat messy, but you must not talk nonsense."

Yuan Dongzhi's face remained stern, her voice icy and unemotional, "Yao Heling, I hope I've misunderstood today's event; otherwise, I will not let you off the hook."
