5: The second Devil Fruit

Listening to Pan Yun's malicious curses towards Su Luo.

Su Xiong's Face was gloomy, and he didn't retort.

He just looked at the unconscious Su Ming, wondering what he was thinking.

"Su Xiong! You must make Su Luo personally kneel and apologize to Xiao Ming!"

"Also, you must take care of Xiao Ming until he fully recovers!"

"Otherwise, don't blame me for turning hostile!" Pan Yun said with swollen eyes.

Su Xiong nodded immediately upon hearing this.

"Don't worry, I'll bring Xiao Luo back."

"He's out there alone, with no money for food and nowhere to stay."

"He must want to come home now."

The next morning, after eating the bought breakfast, Roux slowly made his way to the school gate.

He immediately saw Su Xiong standing at the school gate, waiting for someone.

Su Xiong also saw Su Luo, and a surge of anger immediately rose in his heart.

He was about to rush over and lecture Su Luo.

Unexpectedly, Su Luo acted as if he hadn't seen him, walking straight past Su Xiong.

Seeing Su Luo about to enter the school gate, Su Xiong quickly blocked his path.

"Su Luo! I'm your dad! Are you not even recognizing your dad anymore?!" Su Xiong said angrily.

"What dad? Where's a dad?"

"Since I was born, I only had one mother, and that mother has been dead for a long time," Su Luo said indifferently.

"You ungrateful wretch! Unfilial son! I wasted my efforts raising you!" Su Xiong pointed at Su Luo's Face, fuming.

"Raising me?" Su Luo scoffed.

"If raising me means the leftovers I ate from childhood to adulthood."

"And that thin blanket, then I will definitely return them to you."

Su Xiong was choked by Su Luo's words.

For a moment, he was speechless. He knew that Su Luo's living conditions were indeed difficult.

But couldn't his son be more understanding of his father's difficulties?

He composed his expression and then said:

"Su Luo, no matter what, we are family."

"You beat Xiao Ming to that extent, it's a bit inexcusable."

"I have to go to work, and your Aunt Pan also has to go to work."

"Su Luo, you should take a year off from school this year and help take care of Xiao Ming."

"That way, Pan Yun and Xiao Ming might forgive you."

"We are still family after all, don't you agree?"

Listening to Su Xiong's words, Su Luo had already clenched his fists.

But in the end, out of respect for Su Xiong being his biological father, he held back.

He forced down his anger and sneered:

"Su Xiong, listen to yourself, these are all nonsense."

"Still family? Do you even believe it yourself? Did you ever treat me as family?"

"Let me tell you the truth! I deliberately beat Su Ming like that!"

"It's his good fortune that I didn't kill him."

"If he comes looking for me again, I'll beat him again."

"And you! We no longer have any relationship, so stop bothering me."

"Otherwise, don't blame me for being impolite to you too," Su Luo said coldly.

Then he turned and walked directly into the school gate.

Leaving a flushed Su Xiong standing in place, pointing at Su Luo's retreating figure, unable to utter a single word.

After Su Luo's figure completely disappeared, he could only leave in a huff.

As soon as he stepped into the classroom, the atmosphere in the room seemed to instantly solidify; no one dared to make a sound.

Su Luo looked around, only to see that the other students, for some reason, were all avoiding his gaze.

Just then, the campus broadcast suddenly sounded.

"Student Su Luo, please come to Director of Academic Affairs Wang Yue's office as soon as possible, there's an urgent matter."

Upon hearing this, Su Luo immediately got up and headed to Wang Yue's office.

Arriving at Wang Yue's office, Wang Yue saw Su Luo enter.

He immediately handed over the crystal core he had promised Su Luo.

"This is a Third-level Exotic Beast crystal core that I applied for you."

Su Luo took the crystal core in shock, looking at Wang Yue in disbelief.

"Director Wang, wasn't it two level one crystal cores?"

"How did it become one level two crystal core?"

"The value of this level two crystal core is equivalent to more than ten level one crystal cores!"

Wang Yue chuckled a few times, seeing Su Luo so surprised.

"After I explained your situation to the school, the principal directly waved his hand."

"He arranged for the school to provide you with one level two crystal core every month for your Cultivation."

"Work hard to improve your Superpower Rank, don't waste the school's investment in you."

Su Luo nodded seriously upon hearing this.

After thanking Wang Yue, he happily walked out of the office.

After calming down, he put the level two crystal core in his pocket and returned to the classroom as if nothing had happened.

After school in the afternoon, he continued to go to Shen Huaiyue's house for sparring.

"Ha!"

Shen Huaiyue delivered a high roundhouse kick towards Su Luo's head.

Upon closer inspection, Shen Huaiyue's leg was actually wrapped in many sharp wind blades.

It seemed that after yesterday's incident, she was no longer afraid that Su Luo would get hurt.

And indeed, Su Luo simply raised his right hand and gently waved it.

Shen Huaiyue was sent flying.

She landed on her back, falling headfirst into the garden.

"Ptooey! Ptooey! Ptooey!"

Shen Huaiyue spat out the dirt from her mouth.

"Su Luo! You fellow, why don't you have any pity for the fairer sex?" Shen Huaiyue said angrily.

"Pity for the fairer sex?"

"Miss Shen, will an Exotic Beast have pity on you because you're pretty?" Su Luo said calmly.

Shen Huaiyue snorted upon hearing this.

But she had to admit that Su Luo was right.

"Hmph! I don't believe it! Again!"

"Take this!"

Shen Huaiyue leaped up and once again engaged Su Luo in close combat.

The sun in the sky gradually set.

Another day had passed.

"Come with me, I'll get you the money." Shen Huaiyue, after wiping her sweat, was about to take Su Luo to get the money.

"Wait a moment, Miss Shen, I have a phone now!" Su Luo took out his phone and showed it to Shen Huaiyue.

As a rich Young Miss.

She could tell at a glance that this phone was a newly bought generic brand.

He must have bought it last night after getting money.

But in her opinion, it didn't matter, as long as she could transfer money.

After transferring the money, Su Luo left Shen Huaiyue's house.

He hurried back to the hotel where he was staying, not even having time to eat dinner.

He took out that level two crystal core.

A level two crystal core, this was the highest quality crystal core he had obtained so far.

Third-level crystal cores were too precious, only Third-level Exotic Beasts had a chance of dropping them.

But Third-level Exotic Beasts' strength corresponded to the human Noble Realm.

It was not something he could handle at his current level.

No longer greedy, he handed the level two crystal core in his hand to the Devil Fruit Tree Seedling.

After the Devil Fruit Tree Seedling absorbed the energy of the level two crystal core.

It instantly bore a Devil Fruit.

But he had no impression of this Devil Fruit at all.

Su Luo frowned, picking the Devil Fruit.

"A Devil Fruit I've never seen before."

"Who cares! As long as it can improve my Superpower Rank."

Crunch, crunch!

A Devil Fruit went straight into his stomach, and that familiar feeling returned.

It was as if something invisible and intangible had suddenly appeared inside his body.

"This is! The Gravity Fruit!"
