For the entire day, Li Yao was in the hospital receiving a comprehensive physical examination.
He didn't know how many talismans the doctors had stuck on his body, and they stuffed him into seventeen or eighteen strange instruments. There were also four Meditation Healers who claimed to specialize in spiritual power, trying to hypnotize him and pry into his brain.
Li Yao's brain had been opened up by Ou Yezi's powerful soul, and it had become incomparably vast. The four Meditation Healers tossed and turned for a long time, but they still couldn't pry into anything. They came to a conclusion — because his spirit root had been torn, Li Yao had already lost most of the brainwave responses a normal person should have.
In short, they tossed and turned until two or three o 'clock in the afternoon. Floating Spear City's First Hospital issued a diagnosis report — Li Yao's body didn't have any major problems, but because he had been unconscious for a month, each of his organs were very weak. It would probably take him half a year to a year to recover before his body's functions returned to normal.
However, Li Yao knew that this was because he had consumed too much energy after swallowing Ou Yezi's memory fragments.
As long as he used the 《Art of the Swallowing Whale》 to eat a few tons of food, he would be able to return to normal in three to five days.
What half a year? It was simply a joke.
Soon after, a doctor in a white coat came to his bedside with a grave expression. He used a painful expression as if he had been constipated for several years to explain to him that because he had been attacked by a mutated large-eyed ape injected with stimulants, his spirit root had been completely torn apart. His Actualization Quotient had fallen to the point where even his parents wouldn't recognize it. He was only left with 7%. It was estimated that he would have to say goodbye to cultivation for the rest of his life.
Even so, he still hoped that he could once again summon the courage to live. His body was disabled, but his will was firm. Don't give up hope, and so on.
Carefully skimming through the diagnosis report and comparing one brain scan after another, Li Yao raised his greatly enhanced calculation ability to the limit. His mind turned like lightning as he rapidly speculated about the cause and effect.
Soon, his eyes sparkled as he thought of a possibility.
"I can roughly guess why my pine cone suddenly tore and why my Actualization Quotient fell to the bottom!"
"If there was a skinny man who was 1.8 meters tall and weighed 100 kilograms. Because of some strange reason, in the short span of a day, he swelled up to 300 kilograms, 2.5 meters tall, and his muscles expanded to the limit — his skin, muscles, blood vessels, and bones would certainly not be able to bear it. They would tear again and again to keep up with his body's growth!"
"Every time he is torn apart, he becomes stronger!"
"My soul, on the other hand, has swallowed a lot of Ou Yezi's memory pieces and is growing at an insane speed. It's not as simple as turning a skinny man of a hundred kilograms into a super muscular man of three hundred kilograms.
"My soul has turned from a small lizard into a prehistoric tyrannosaurus!"
"Because the divine soul is strengthening too quickly, the pineal gland is unable to keep up with the strengthening speed of the divine soul. It can only tear apart again and again!"
"When the 'little lizard' just turned into a 'prehistoric tyrannosaurus', its muscles and skin were torn apart, making it look bloody. Naturally, it looked 'feeble' before it swallowed a lot of prey. At first glance, it seemed to be heavily wounded and dying!"
"But as long as I can find enough prey …"
Li Yao's eyes flashed with a demonic light, and the corners of his mouth curved into a slightly savage arc.
"That's why everyone thought that I was seriously injured, weak to the extreme, and turned into trash!"
"But no one knew that I wasn't weak at all. Instead … I was so strong that even my own body couldn't withstand it!"
Li Yao's slightly strange smile, in the eyes of the man in the white coat, was a little silly.
Doctor Gu even thought that he was shocked by the bad news and couldn't accept it for a while. This was normal. Which cultivation genius would be able to accept the fact that they had turned into trash?
This wasn't something that could be comforted with just a few words. He could only hope that time would slowly heal the wounds in this "Fiend Star's" heart.
Doctor Gu sighed, patted Li Yao's shoulder, and left the ward.
A moment later, the sound of resolute footsteps echoed from outside the door. It was as if two large iron hammers were alternately pounding on the ground.
"Ta! Ta! Ta! Ta! "
A middle-aged soldier wearing a black military uniform walked in with large strides.
"What's a retired soldier doing here?" Li Yao was a bit baffled.
This middle-aged soldier wore a well-ironed black military uniform, but there were no military ranks on his shoulders. It was clear that this was the standard attire of a retired soldier.
There were many injuries on this person's body. His left hand and left foot were all artificial. Even his left eye was carved out of jade. Over a hundred spirit glyphs were densely engraved on the "eyeball", forming circles of glyphs. They faintly emitted a red light, looking somewhat frightening.
"Student Li Yao, I represent the 'Federation Disabled Servicemen Association' to announce the Federation's compensation to you!"
The disabled soldier's legs were closed together, and with a "pa", he saluted Li Yao in a standard Union Army salute.
"Compensation?"
Li Yao stared blankly for a moment before immediately reacting.
Even though he knew that he wasn't injured and that he wasn't trash, others didn't know this.
The Limit Challenge Competition was organized by the Union Army. Now that an accident had occurred, causing many participants to be injured or killed, the military would naturally give a certain amount of compensation.
Moreover, this accident was caused by a participant illegally bringing a stimulant into the competition. The organizers of the competition weren't able to detect the stimulant ahead of time. This could be considered the military's negligence.
Therefore, in order to make up for their mistakes, this "compensation" was absolutely necessary. It might even be an astronomical figure!
Through the disabled soldier's introduction, Li Yao discovered that he hadn't guessed wrong. Devil Flood Dragon Island's accident had already entered the eyes of the highest echelons of the military.
Aside from tracking down the main culprit, the most important thing was how to compensate the injured students.
The students who died in the accident were easy to deal with. They were all compensated according to the standards of the Union Army's sacrifice.
But for Li Yao, the injured, things were a bit complicated.
This was because his injuries weren't light, but they weren't heavy either.
To put it lightly, he didn't lose a single hair on his body. After a year or so of recuperation, he'd be a normal person, and he'd still be alive and kicking.
But to put it more seriously, he was originally a cultivation genius. Given time, it was very likely that he'd become a cultivator with a boundless future. But because of this accident, he'd completely destroyed his hopes for cultivation.
To many people who were obsessed with cultivation, they'd rather die than suffer this kind of injury.
The two opinions were at loggerheads. In the end, it was said that the upper echelons of the military watched Li Yao's battle video on Devil Flood Dragon Island.
Perhaps they were moved by his splendid performance, but in the end, they decided to compensate him according to the standards of a "Class 1 Disabled Soldier of the Federation".
"Class 1 Disabled Soldier of the Federation!"
Even though he was mentally prepared, Li Yao was still shocked by this ridiculously high standard.
The Xing Yao Federation faced Demon Beast invasions year in year out. Five hundred years of bloody war, the flames of war had never been completely extinguished. The status of soldiers was extremely high.
It was precisely because of the countless Union Army soldiers on the frontlines that they shed their heads, shed their blood, and resisted the unending stream of Demon Beasts that the civilians in the rear could live a peaceful and peaceful life.
Therefore, ordinary people respected, loved, and worshipped soldiers!
And among the soldiers, there was no need to talk about those who sacrificed their lives for the country. The disabled soldiers who were seriously injured in war were also revered by society!
Disabled soldiers were divided into four classes.
"Class 1 Disabled Soldier of the Federation" was the second class after "Special Disabled Soldier". Basically, they were like the soldier in front of Li Yao's eyes. They were missing an arm, a leg, and an eye. Only then would they be considered "Class 1 Disabled Soldier"!
After retiring from the military, not only would the country provide them with high subsidies every month, but all public facilities such as the "Underground Crystal Rail Train", "Super High Speed Crystal Rail Train", "Public Airship", and so on would all be free for life!
Apart from this, the vast majority of civilian restaurants, restaurants, hotels, and stores would give different discounts to disabled soldiers.
If they knew that a "Class 1 Disabled Soldier" was spending money in their store, they might just wave their hands and not accept a single cent. This was very common.
