Chapter 328: Half-Wasted
Martial Dao Will!
It is always the ultimate weapon against extra-dimensional demons!
The stronger the Martial Dao Will, the more it can resist demonic corruption.
When Fang Xing witnessed Ye Liuyun's breakthrough earlier, he had an epiphany about the Nameless Diagram, and his Martial Dao Will was already comparable to that of an ordinary Martial God.
Therefore, in Ling Xu's opinion, it was normal for Fang Xing to maintain his sanity.
"But... your Spirit Sea is already filled with the pollution of the Void Gate. This is a Pillar Rank demonic corruption, which will continuously erode your mental will... Moreover, its intensity is high and relentless... Perhaps one day, it will 'drown' your consciousness, and you will become half-mad, or even completely insane..."
Ling Xu's expression turned extremely grave.
"Martial Dao Will... My current Martial Dao Will is insufficient. After I break through to the Martial God realm, can I rely on my own will to purge all the pollution?"
Fang Xing asked.
"I'm afraid not. The pollution in your body is also severe. We can only make some repairs, remove some heavily polluted flesh and blood, but it's just a temporary solution... It has already merged with your body, mind, and origin... I'm afraid you won't be able to cultivate or break through in the future... It's best not to take any action, or you might transform into a Demon God's progeny at any time."
Ling Xu sighed.
In a situation like this, one could be directly imprisoned and sealed.
At the very least, they should be given a VIP bed in a psychiatric hospital, but this Martial Saint surprisingly possessed a Martial God-level will, allowing him to barely maintain his sanity.
Moreover, he also had a powerful background.
"My suggestion is to enter the Rehabilitation Center for proper recuperation. You should undergo regular physical examinations and psychological interventions... Also, give up the Martial Dao."
Ling Xu delivered her final diagnosis, which felt like a death sentence.
Fang Xing's expression remained unchanged.
As a powerful Martial Dao practitioner, he exuded the calmness of a mountain even in the face of adversity.
However, his eyes carried a hint of gray.
Witnessing this, Nie Ying's heart filled with immense sorrow: 'What a pity! Such a waste! He is a Martial God-level genius... He even had the potential to surpass the Martial God realm!'
Nie Ying had read Fang Xing's records, and he was ordinary during his middle school and high school years.
It was only before the college entrance exam that he suddenly excelled and got into Bluestar University.
But compared to the top scorers in history, he didn't stand out much. He was a once-in-a-year genius, far inferior to Nan Gong Xue.
However, later on, when he broke through the Martial Dao Golden Core and Vajra Realm, his talent continued to grow alongside his cultivation.
This was rare!
Many geniuses started off with rapid progress but struggled more as they advanced.
But Fang Xing was different. After years of arduous cultivation in the Vajra Realm, he suddenly burst forth, breaking through to the Martial Saint realm! He was a late-blooming genius, surpassing Nan Gong Xue and could be considered a late bloomer!
During the observation of Ye Liuyun's breakthrough, his Martial Dao Will even surpassed the Martial God realm, leaving a deep impression on the two Martial Gods.
If nothing unexpected happened, he would have been a sure bet for the Martial God realm.
But now... the unexpected had occurred!
Not only Fang Xing but also Xu Sanyang beside him, who was slightly inferior to Fang Xing, was a once-in-a-century genius.
Being able to break through to the Martial Saint realm and even create his own Shamanic Medicine path, he was a genius with even greater creativity than Fang Xing.
Yet, they both fell this time.
And it happened in a Secret Realm with a fixed strength limit, where accidents were almost impossible!
This filled Nie Ying's heart with a murderous intent.
"No matter who it is... Don't let me find out, or else!"
A cold light flashed in his eyes and then disappeared.
...
Half a month later.
After treatment in the Source Sea Level Treatment Pod, Fang Xing's body showed no signs of injury.
He seemed to have fully recovered.
However, any Martial Dao practitioner near him would sense a feeling of discomfort.
'Although the pollution has been sealed within my body, there seems to be some leakage in my aura.'
'The last sealing method used should be from the Nine Swords Academy.'
Fang Xing was well aware of this and went to the neighboring treatment room.
"Good boy, don't be afraid..."
A motherly figure in a white coat was holding Xu Sanyang.
Xu Sanyang's eyes were filled with innocence, and his body showed no signs of injury. He leaned against the woman's embrace and slowly fell asleep.
After a moment, the gentle woman walked out. Fang Xing recognized her as Ye Lingxin, the director of the Green Mountain Psychiatric Hospital.
"Director Ye..."
Fang Xing quickly greeted her, "How is Sanyang?"
"He doesn't have as strong a Martial Dao Will as you. After multiple treatments, we managed to contain the pollution within his body... But his mind has suffered severe damage. He can only wake up for about an hour every ten days... And most of the time, his crazy personality dominates. I can only try to soothe him and keep his innocence intact..."
Ye Lingxin's hands were tucked into her white coat as she looked at the sleeping Xu Sanyang, who was still biting his finger, her eyes filled with tenderness.
"Can he treat himself when he's awake?" Fang Xing asked.
"I'm afraid not. His injuries this time are much more severe than before." Ye Lingxin shook her head. "I plan to conduct a few more examinations and observe him for a while before transferring him to the Green Mountain Psychiatric Hospital. He has always taken care of me, and now it's my turn to take care of him."
(End of Chapter)"..."
Fang Xing couldn't help but feel speechless. Although he wanted to advise against the immorality of sleeping with one's patient, it seemed that Xu Sanyang had enjoyed it in the past, so he decided to let it go.
"By the way, your test results are out, and all your indicators are better than Xu Sanyang's. You can be discharged now."
Ye Lingxin said, "Just be careful, no cultivation, and definitely no breakthroughs... Besides, it's best to avoid fighting. Come back for regular check-ups!"
"Professor Ling Xu has already instructed me on this."
Fang Xing sighed and returned to his own ward, changing out of his hospital gown and into his own clothes. He then activated his communication devices one by one.
After leaving the hospital, he went to a small park and sat on a bench, gazing at the carp in the lake.
A cold wind blew, and Fang Xing shivered involuntarily.
'Has my body become this weak?' He glanced at his attribute panel:
[Ninth Stage: Martial Saint (Severely Injured)]
'The severely injured state hasn't been lifted, and my current strength is a mere fraction of what it used to be... I'm so weak.'
'If I don't use the Great Sun Bodhimanda Mantra, I might be stuck like this for life... A fallen genius, dropping from the peak to the dust, I wonder how many people would be eager to step on me?'
"Xiao Lan!"
After some thought, Fang Xing activated his communicator.
A small sprite with blue wings immediately projected out, "Master... I miss you so much, and I'm so worried about you..."
"Cut the chatter. Did you blow up the contacts list?" Fang Xing rolled his eyes.
"During your hospitalization, you received a total of 13,981 messages, and I've filtered out the important ones..."
Xiao Lan immediately projected a large list.
Fang Xing took a look and saw that Nan Gong Xue, Victoria, Gu Yun, Xia Long, and Song Jin Gang were among them...
There were also many others he knew and didn't know, such as Han Chunfeng, Davis, and executives from the Aureus Group, etc...
He circled this group, "Use my tone to draft a reply expressing gratitude."
As for the others, he would have to contact them personally.
"Hey, Old Song, I'm fine. I'll treat you to a meal some other day..."
"Gu Yun, the Prevention and Control Bureau must be keeping you busy these days. I'm fine... Don't worry about me."
...
After greeting each person, Fang Xing's finger reached the last name on the list, and his eyes widened.
Soon, a projection appeared before Fang Xing.
The man had an incredibly muscular build, like a bodybuilder, "A Xing..."
Liu Wei looked at Fang Xing, "I heard you were hospitalized..."
"Yeah, I'm half-crippled. I might have to retire from the martial world..." Fang Xing shook his head helplessly.
"Then... why not come to the Academy of Sciences? We brothers can fight the martial world together." Liu Wei invited, "If the top doctors can't cure you, it doesn't mean the Federation's highest scientific institution won't have a chance..."
"Forget it. I don't want to be a lab rat, and I don't want to fight you for food."
Fang Xing refused.
If he had gone to cooperate with magnetic martial arts research before, he would have had a lot of freedom as a Martial Saint.
But now, he would definitely be treated as a lab rat, and he might even have to beg for body modifications.
If he were truly desperate, some Martial Saints might agree, paving the way for 'Mechanical Warriors'.
But... Fang Xing's injury was fake, and he had plenty of backup plans.
Only a fool would become a lab rat.
"Okay... I'll try my best, even for your sake..."
Liu Wei's figure disappeared without another word.
Inside the Academy of Sciences.
He took off his virtual glasses and clenched his fists, "The Federation's upper echelons are indeed corrupted... The rebels might be wrong in many ways, but they also have some valid points. When I'm strong enough, I'll avenge you..."
...
"Victoria!"
Fang Xing admired the scenery while continuing to make calls, "Inform Dr. Wang, the Mecha Construction Project continues!"
Even if he could only unleash the power of a Martial Saint once or twice at most now.
But with his personal battle armor, a casual strike would have the power of the Ninth Stage.
This was an opportunity he couldn't pass up.
Although the Star Lord System from the Xia World had reduced the importance of mechas in Fang Xing's heart significantly, turning them into transitional tools for Martial Saints and Martial Gods, they could still temporarily boost his strength, so he had to use them.
"Okay, good..."
Victoria bit her lip and said, "Boss, there's one more thing. Xi Ling wants to resign..."
'As expected!'
Fang Xing's heart wasn't surprised at all.
He used to be a Federal Martial Saint with many influential connections, so naturally, many people would flock to him.
Now that the news of his semi-retirement had spread, they would scatter like monkeys from a fallen tree.
"However, for her to know about my condition so quickly, there must be a major power that contacted her..."
Fang Xing thought for a moment and said to Victoria, "Resignation is fine, but she must undergo an inspection first to ensure she hasn't leaked my commercial secrets... If she has, kill her!"
He once owed Xi Ling his life, so if she just wanted to leave, they could part ways amicably. But if she wanted to be a spy before leaving, he wouldn't blame himself for being ruthless.
