Mind of Tranquility!

Fang Yuan seemed to have a moment of enlightenment. His hands clasped while he sat cross-legged. Shutting his eyes gently, he entered a complete state of meditation.

“Hmm?” Xiao Hongyue’s eyes widened while looking at Fang Yuan, who had slipped into a deep sleep. “He’s entered this state so quickly? No… this only happens in deep meditation!”

The human brain was full of mysteries. If one could enter deep sleep, they could fulfill a day’s worth of rest in two to three hours.

On top of that, obtaining a deep state of meditation was something one could discover but not seek.

In this state, people could gain a lot of benefits. Furthermore, it was his first time meditating, and he even managed to enter this state. It was Xiao Hongyue’s first time witnessing something like this.

“Could Lin Meng be a genius at meditation?” she mumbled while looking at Fang Yuan. She steeled her heart. “It’s your first time meditating, and you managed to enter such a premium state. It’ll be a waste not to use any drugs.”

Xiao Hongyue’s long and white slender fingers were swift. She injected the low-tier brain development drug into Fang Yuan’s neck.

The red fluid drained instantly, entering his veins and circulating throughout his entire body.

In an instant, Fang Yuan’s veins popped up, as if a red worm were traveling through his body. It was truly a gruesome sight.

Xiao Hongyue did not even bat an eye. Instead, she monitored every change in his body.

Without realizing, an entire night passed.

“Ah…” Fang Yuan opened his eyes, stretched lazily, and yawned. He was full of energy. “Huh? Teacher, didn’t you sleep?”

“Sleep? What are you talking about? Do you know what you did yesterday? You entered deep meditation during your first time, and it even lasted the entire night!”

Xiao Hongyue’s face looked haggard. However, her enthusiasm overpowered that. “So? How did it feel? When you entered meditation, what happened?”

“It felt… amazing!”

Fang Yuan allowed Xiao Hongyue to check him. She let out a scream. “Brain development of… 35%! You exceeded the limits of the low-tier brain development drug! This means that you fully utilized the effects of the drug, increasing your development by 3%! This also means that you managed to get one year’s worth of meditation within a single session! You raised the development by 2%!”

“Tell me now!” She grasped Fang Yuan’s collar like a fierce mother lion. “What happened during your meditation?!”

“Last night, I followed your instructions and meditated! I believe Teacher injected the drug into me, right?”

Fang Yuan did not know much.

Meditation relied entirely on a person’s heart and spirit. It was more mysterious than memories.

The Human Alliance had still not completed their research on the human mind. As long as Fang Yuan insisted that he did not know anything, even Xiao Hongyue could not do anything.

After a series of explanations, Fang Yuan said happily, “So, my brain development is at 35%? Doesn’t that mean I can enter East Dragon University?”

In reality, his gains from yesterday were far beyond Xiao Hongyue’s imagination. His current advancements were just an act.

“That’s right. Your brain development has reached the minimum requirement…”

Xiao Hongyue’s expression turned dark. “However, you still need to work harder in your other subjects. After you reach 270 points, it’ll become challenging to earn even a single point after that. Right, didn’t you want to repay me? Why don’t you head to Fengwu Nine Heavens Academy? With your current grades, you can definitely make it. Even if you can’t, I’ll contact the school to help you out!”

I can tell you’re a graduate of Feng Wu Nine Heavens. Why would I head there just to be a guinea pig? Fang Yuan rolled his eyes. “I apologize… Teacher, going to East Dragon University is my dream. However, I’ll put Fengwu Nine Heavens Academy as my second choice.”

“Hmph!” Xiao Hongyue snorted and pulled up a screen. “Your tutoring session is complete. You don’t have to come over these days. Sign the bill!”

“No problem!”

Fang Yuan looked at the projected screen, and his eyes twitched.

The low-tier brain development drug costs five hundred thousand star dollars on the market. However, teaching the meditation technique, a night of practice, and the materials actually cost the same.

However, he did not condemn Xiao Hongyue’s money-grubbing nature. Since she chose to invest in him, what else could he say?

As such, he used an electronic pen to sign and left his virtual fingerprint.

“Great… you may leave!”

Xiao Hongyue waved her hand.

“Teacher… aren’t you going to send me off?” Fang Yuan felt wronged. After spending a night like that, her attitude turned so cold. It was as if he had taken advantage of her.

However, this did seem to be the case. Fang Yuan had indeed taken massive advantage of her.

But not a single one of Xiao Hongyue’s plans had succeeded.

“Send you off?! I’m still single. How can I let anyone know that a man slept in my house overnight?”

“…”

That made a lot of sense, so Fang Yuan had no rebuttals. Thus, he took public transport and left by himself.

At the entrance of Flying Rainbow High.

Since it was a long way, Fang Yuan had changed buses several times, and he was almost late.

After some time, he finally rushed into the school’s main gate on the dot.

Several students formed a human wall before him. Of which, there was the blond from before. He glared coldly at Fang Yuan. “Brat… you’re good at running!”

“What? Are you picking a fight in school?” Fang Yuan asked fearlessly.

As an elite student, he would suffer a little if others ganged up on him. However, the school would not let the perpetrators off easily and might even expel them.

This was the special treatment that top students had over school bullies. Even if they fought, teachers would still be biased and offer protection.

“We’re not that dumb. We just want to get to know our schoolmates better!”

The blond wrapped his arm around Fang Yuan’s shoulder. He pointed at the shade under a tree. “Brat… you got home fine yesterday, right? However, let’s not talk about this now. You see that place there? Boss Jarvis wants to have a few words with you!”

“A few words? Sure!”

Fang Yuan shrugged his shoulders and pushed the blond aside. He walked to the tree shade on his own, and he saw the mixed-blood Jarvis.

“Lin Meng, Flying Rainbow City citizen. Eighteen years old, graduated from Southern Hill Kindergarten. Your teacher then was…”

Jarvis had his arms crossed while reciting the profile, wanting to create immense pressure on Fang Yuan.

Honestly speaking, this method was indeed effective on inexperienced youths. However, in front of Fang Yuan, it was nothing more than a colossal joke.

“All right, you don’t have to investigate me. I’m just a poor student without any background. The only thing I have is my grades…” Fang Yuan shrugged. “I’ve told your lackeys… I’m not interested in Ling Fei’er at all!”

“What about Xiao Hongyue? You stayed in her villa last night!” Jarvis laughed, revealing his white teeth.

“You followed me?” Fang Yuan feigned shocked. “No… you followed a teacher. How audacious! Aren’t you afraid I’ll tell Xiao Hongyue?”

“You don’t have to use her to scare me…” Jarvis replied leisurely. “As a teacher, allowing a student to stay overnight is a complete scandal! Even if nothing happened, there’s no way she would expose this to the public! It’s impossible to clear up!”

That was true. Fang Yuan felt that if that meditation ‘accident’ had not happened, Xiao Hongyue would have kicked him out of her villa immediately.

However, he managed to get away because of that. Otherwise, these hooligans would have captured him for a beating.

“Then, what do you want? I have to head to class!”

Fang Yuan pretended to look like he was in tremendous turmoil.

“Haha, relax. I’m not concerned about your relationship with Xiao Hongyue. However, I’ve heard that you recovered your brain development level. Since you’re so talented, why don’t you become one of my subordinates?”

Jarvis extended his right hand. “You just have to report Xiao Hongyue’s movements to me and execute my orders. Then I’ll sponsor a portion of your university expenses. You’ve been working part-time to supplement your expenses, right? But once you enter a cultivation university, the expenses aren’t something a small household can undertake.”

“No way!”

Fang Yuan stepped back, causing Jarvis’s expression to darken. “You dare reject me? Reject my good intentions?”

“We’re all going to be adults soon. After the college entrance exam, we’ll be going our separate ways. Why are you doing this? At most, I’ll promise to keep your secret…”

Fang Yuan walked out of the shade and looked at the school’s security camera. His smile was bright like the sun.

“It’s pointless. Do you think I can’t make a move on you in school?”

Jarvis’s back was against the camera. He smiled. “All right… even if you’re relying on this, are you planning to stay in school every single day? Don’t you know how terrifying it is to offend someone like me? For example, you might run into a small accident and suffer from some injuries. It might even hold you back from taking your college entrance exam. When the time comes, who’s going to protect you? Your entire life will be in my hands!”

“Is it?” Fang Yuan’s voice turned ice-cold.

Jarvis was not a simple person. He had been stirring up some problems and setting up his net to capture his prey.

If the past Lin Meng were still around, what could he have done against a threat like this?

The most he could have done was to succumb. Even if he made it to a cultivation university, he would have been controlled by various methods. He would be nothing more than a puppet.

Furthermore, the fact that Jarvis dared to say something like this meant that he was doing the same to others!

As he thought about this, Jarvis did seem terrifying.

If I were him, I would sign an agreement once my victim agrees. But I’d set down some harsh conditions. Even though I’d provide support, it’d be nothing more than a formality. However, I’d obtain a cultivator that serves me for life in return!

Since it was an official contract, even if the conditions were ruthless, it was legally binding. The entire Human Alliance would turn into Jarvis’s backing. Even if someone wanted to leave, it was nearly impossible.

“I reject!” Fang Yuan’s voice was steady after thinking it through. “I don’t have any plans to sell my future!”
