24: Chapter 24 The capital is in shock! In the luxurious hospital room, the younger sister is stunned!

The news of Lin Fan taking a massive lead as the country's number one spread across the nation like wildfire!

The New Star Trial was broadcast live nationwide online, drawing immense attention!

Beijing.

The Admissions Office of Beijing Martial Arts University, the highest institution of learning in Xia Country.

A white-haired elderly man wearing a Tang suit was leisurely sipping tea while watching the projection screen in front of him.

He was the vice principal of Beijing Martial Arts University, known as the 'Iron Wall Mad Lion,' Vice Principal Yan Zhen.

"This batch of prospects is not bad. That lightning-element kid from Beijing No. 1 High School, Lei Yi, has over four thousand points. Quite interesting."

Vice Principal Yan Zhen took a sip of tea, his tone flat.

He had seen plenty of such geniuses; there were always a few every year.

Just then.

The admissions office director beside him suddenly let out a cry of surprise.

"Vice Principal Yan! Quick, look at the top of the leaderboard!"

Vice Principal Yan Zhen frowned slightly and set down his teacup.

"What is all the fuss about? Did that lightning-element kid break 5,000 points?"

He casually looked up.

The next second.

"Pfft—!"

The tea he had just swallowed turned into a high-pressure water gun, spraying all over the face of the director opposite him.

Vice Principal Yan Zhen didn't even bother to wipe his mouth as he abruptly stood up.

His eyes widened like copper bells.

"6,500 points?!"

"Where did this monster come from? Jianghai City? That third-tier small city?"

He stared intently at Lin Fan's profile on the screen.

[Name: Lin Fan]

[Talent: F-Rank (Tenacity)]

[Class Role: Frontline/Tank]

"F-Rank?" Vice Principal Yan Zhen's mouth twitched. "Old Chen, are you kidding me?"

"Whose F-Rank tank can solo a Level 3 Phantom Ape?"

"Is this a fucking tank?!"

The director wiped the tea from his face and smiled bitterly.

"Vice Principal Yan, the data has been verified. There's no bug."

"This kid... his fighting style is very unique. He relies entirely on raw physical endurance,"

"and he can even reflect damage. That Phantom Ape was beaten to death by him alive."

Vice Principal Yan Zhen took a deep breath, his eyes instantly burning with intense heat.

"Enduring a Level 3 demonic beast with raw physical strength? With this physical quality, could it be an SS-Rank talent mutation?"

"Quick! Get me the Jianghai City Bureau of Education on the phone!"

"We want this kid! Special admission! Full scholarship! Throw in an S-Rank martial technique!"

"And add my spare Grandmaster-grade armor to the deal!"

...

At the same time.

Magic City.

Magic City Ability University.

Wearing a tight red leather suit, the incredibly hot principal, the "Red Lotus Witch" Rakshasa,

was sitting with her legs crossed, watching the replay of Lin Fan stuffing a venomous snake into his mouth on the screen.

An unusual light flickered in her charming peach blossom eyes.

"Tsk tsk tsk, this little brother is wild enough."

"Big sister likes it."

She stuck out her crimson tongue and licked her lips.

"Letting a venomous snake spit into his mouth? Just how abnormal does a body have to be to withstand that?"

"How could we let a talent like this go?"

Rakshasa snapped her fingers, and the secretary behind her immediately stepped forward.

"Send an official letter to Jianghai."

"Magic City Ability University is willing to offer SSS-Rank special admission treatment."

"Tell that kid that as long as he comes, big sister will personally be his mentor,"

"guiding his cultivation hand-in-hand... oh no, body-to-body."

"Also, the profile says he has a sick little sister? Tell him" Horns

"that Magic City's best medical team is on call 24/7, and all medical expenses are completely free!"

...

The office of the Director of the Jianghai City Bureau of Education.

Director Liu Haibo was currently holding the phone, his back bent like a large shrimp, his forehead covered in cold sweat.

On the other end of the line was a big shot from the Beijing General Bureau of Education.

"Yes, yes, yes! Rest assured!"

"Guaranteed to complete the mission!"

"Right, right, right! We also just discovered this unpolished gem!"

"Protection! Absolute protection! I've already sent two Level 6 Martial Saints to guard the outskirts of the forest. Not even a fly will get near him!"

Hanging up the phone.

Director Liu Haibo felt his legs go weak.

He slumped into his chair, took two seconds to recover, and then suddenly jumped up.

"Quick! Prepare the car! Go to No. 3 High School!"

"No! Go to the No. 3 People's Hospital first!"

"The big shot from Beijing specifically instructed just now that Lin Fan's little sister is our own little sister!"

"Transfer all the best doctors over there! Intensive care ward! Highest specifications!"

"If Lin Fan comes out and sees his little sister is missing even a single hair, I'll skin you alive!"

The entire Jianghai City educational and medical systems,

because of a single score from Lin Fan, began to spin completely out of control.

At this moment, all resources were tilting toward the youth who had once been looked down upon.

This was the high-martial world.

Where strength reigned supreme.

Once you demonstrated sufficient value, the entire world would treat you with warmth and kindness.

Meanwhile, deep within the Mist Forest.

Lin Fan, who had caused this massive uproar, was completely unaware of it.

He was currently shirtless, humming a little tune.

Leading a blushing Xia Wanqiu, he walked toward the deeper darkness.

"Hehe, that monkey just now couldn't even take a beating."

"I hope we run into something a bit more powerful."

"Preferably the kind that can rub me into the ground..."

Lin Fan's perverse remarks drifted through the mist with the wind,

making the low-level demonic beasts lurking around tremble in fear.

What kind of human is this?

He is simply more of a monster than the demonic beasts themselves!

Jiangcheng No. 3 Peoples Hospital.

A sudden rush of hurried footsteps echoed in the lobby of the inpatient department.

The originally quiet corridor instantly became noisy.

A group of doctors in white lab coats pushed state-of-the-art mobile medical equipment,

rushing toward the third floor as if they were in a hundred-meter sprint.

Leading them was the hospital director himself.

The sweat on his bald head glistened under the lights,

but he didn't have time to wipe it off as he ran and shouted.

"Hurry up! Haven't you eaten?!"

"Keep your movements light! Don't disturb the patient!"

"Move that newly imported life support system over! And those top-grade nutrient solutions, bring the absolute best ones!"

Head Nurse Qin Ya held a medical record book in her hand.

She followed behind in her high heels, completely baffled.

Just ten minutes ago.

She had received an absolute order from above.

They had to immediately transfer the little girl in Room 302, Lin Yue, to the presidential-level intensive care suite on the top floor.

Furthermore, all expenses were completely waived!

They were even giving her a massive "nutrition subsidy"!

"Director, what... what on earth is going on?"

Head Nurse Qin Ya asked, panting for breath.

"Were all these... paid for by that little girl Lin Yue's brother?"

She knew that Lin Fan had gone to the martial arts hall to work as a sparring partner to earn money.

She heard he had been hired as a private sparring partner by a beautiful instructor, with a terrifyingly high salary.

But these top-tier medical supplies were worth at least tens of millions!

She was truly curious about how Lin Fan had managed to get so much money.

Did he sell himself to Murong Yan?!

The director abruptly stopped in his tracks.

He turned around and glared at Head Nurse Qin Ya.

"Paid for?!"

"How dare you mention money?!"

"Let me tell you, Head Nurse Qin Ya! From today onward, Mr. Lin Fan is the most prestigious VIP of VIPs in our hospital!"

"From now on, his sister's treatment will use the absolute best methods! If anyone dares to mention the word money, they can pack their bags and get out immediately!"

The director waved his arms excitedly.

"Do you know who just called me?"

"The Director of the Municipal Bureau of Education! And a big shot from Beijing!"

"Lin Fan is currently the number one in the national New Star Trial! A future giant of the martial path!"

"As long as we take good care of his sister, our hospital will be able to walk tall in Jianghai City from now on!"

Head Nurse Qin Ya covered her mouth in shock.

Lin Fan?

That youth who was always grinning and didn't seem serious,

who was willing to sell himself as a punching bag for a few thousand yuan in medical bills?

He is actually... this amazing?!

Room 302.

Lin Yue was curled up on her slightly worn-out hospital bed.

She held the apple her brother had peeled for her before he left, taking small bites of it.

Her face was pale and her body was frail, but her large eyes were exceptionally clear.

Suddenly.

The door was pushed open.

A large group of doctors flooded in.

Lin Yue was so startled that the apple in her hand almost dropped to the floor.

"What... what do you want?"

She instinctively shrank back into her blanket, her voice trembling,

"My brother... my brother will come to pay the bill very soon... Please don't kick me out..."

Looking at the little girl's terrified expression, the director's heart nearly broke.

This was the biological younger sister of a future top-tier powerhouse!

He quickly squeezed out his most benevolent smile and leaned over.

"Oh, Miss Lin, you've misunderstood!"

"We're not here to kick you out, we're here to help you move!"

"The environment here is too poor, and the air circulation is bad, which isn't good for your health."

"Let's go upstairs! It's a large suite with huge floor-to-ceiling windows and a river view,"

"and there will be dedicated nurse sisters to play with you twenty-four hours a day!"

Lin Yue blinked her large eyes, looking completely blank.

"But... isn't that very expensive?"

"No money needed! It's free!"

The director patted his chest. "Not only is it free, but our hospital also feels that we haven't taken good enough care of you in the past,"

"so we've specially prepared a one-million-yuan nutrition card for you!"

"One million?!"

Lin Yue was completely dazed.

She felt like she was dreaming.

Just then, Head Nurse Qin Ya walked over and gently stroked her head.

"Yue'er, don't be afraid."

"It's your brother... he's made a name for himself out there."

"He is a big hero now. This is the honor he has earned for you."

Hearing about her brother, the fear in Lin Yue's eyes dissipated significantly.

"Really?"

"Brother has indeed always been the most amazing..."

She pale face turned slightly red.

Although she didn't know what her brother had done outside,

as long as it was her brother, he would definitely be the best!

...

Deep within the Mist Forest.

"Achoo!"

Lin Fan sneezed again and rubbed his nose.

"Strange, why is someone always thinking about me today?"

"It must be those ignorant folks who are jealous of my handsomeness."

He was currently squatting under a large tree,

drawing and gesturing on the ground.

Xia Wanqiu sat on a nearby rock,

holding a bottle of water in her hand.

She looked a bit disheveled right now.

The hem of her originally clean and tidy school uniform skirt was stained with quite a few mud splatters, and her hair was a bit messy.

However, her delicate little face was flushed red,

and her gaze drifted from time to time toward Lin Fan's lean and muscular upper body.

Although Lin Fan had sustained quite a few injuries,

those wounds had already scabbed over and fallen off by now,

revealing the newly regenerated skin underneath.

Not only did they leave no scars,

but his skin actually looked even more toned and robust.

"Um... Lin Fan..."

Xia Wanqiu set down the water bottle and asked in a low voice, "Are we... really going to keep going deeper?"

"This is already the core zone. Any further in... is the true restricted area."

"It's said that Level 4 demonic beasts roam there..."

Level 4 demonic beasts!

Those were terrifying existences equivalent to human Grandmaster-level experts!

Even if an entire fully armed elite squad encountered one, they would be completely wiped out.

Lin Fan stopped what he was doing and turned back with a grin.

His big white teeth were exceptionally dazzling in the dim forest.

"What is there to fear? Big brother is here!"

He stood up and cracked his neck, making a series of crisp popping sounds.

"My current score is only over 6,000, which isn't secure enough yet."

"Since we're already here, let's do something big!"

"And..."

Lin Fan walked up to Xia Wanqiu and suddenly bent down, bringing his face close to hers.

The distance between them instantly shrank to less than ten centimeters.

Xia Wanqiu could even feel the warm breath Lin Fan exhaled brushing against her face,

carrying a powerful scent of hormones.

Her heart instantly skipped a beat, and she leaned backward in a panic.

"What... what are you doing?"

Lin Fan reached out and plucked off a leaf stuck to the top of her head.

"Besides, that monkey just now was too weak. It didn't even satisfy me."

"My Defense Level is currently stuck at LV19. I'm just one step away from obtaining a new god-grade passive skill."

"At such a critical moment, how can I stop?"

Lin Fan casually threw the leaf aside, a fanatical light flashing in his eyes.

"Class Monitor, how much healing capacity do you have left?"

Xia Wanqiu's face turned as red as a ripe tomato.

"Heal... spiritual energy... there's still half left..."

"That's enough!"

Lin Fan grabbed her hand.

"Let's go! Big brother is taking you to a great place!"

"I heard there's an Icy Pool ahead with a big fellow living inside. It's perfect to help me cool down!"

Xia Wanqiu was dragged along by him, stumbling forward.

"Looking at that broad, reliable back, the fear in her heart inexplicably dissipated quite a bit."

"Although this guy was a perverse masochist,"

"but..."

"he really gives such a sense of security!"
