Zhou Wen was somewhat surprised. He hadn't advanced to the Legendary stage, but all his stats had increased by 1, going from 9 to 10.
This increase of 1 point left Zhou Wen somewhat incredulous. This was because 9 points seemed to be the limit of the Mortal stage. If he didn't advance to the Legendary stage, absorbing a dimensional crystal above 10 points would be useless.
This point had already been verified when he absorbed the level 13 Speed Crystal. The appearance of the Lost Immortal Sutra had broken this restriction.
What sort of Primordial Energy Art is the Lost Immortal Sutra? When Zhou Wen thought of the Lost Immortal Sutra, he realized that the thirteen purple metal cards he had previously obtained had vanished at some point in time.
Li Xuan was still cultivating by the side. The driver in front was separated from the back by a bulletproof glass, so it was impossible for him to take away the Lost Immortal Sutra.
Zhou Wen searched his entire body but failed to find the purple metal cards with the Lost Immortal Sutra engraved on them.
How odd. Zhou Wen frowned slightly, unsure if the disappearance of the Lost Immortal Sutra was a good or bad thing.
However, since he couldn't find it, Zhou Wen didn't press the issue. Seeing that Li Xuan was still cultivating the Invincible Connate Divine Art, he continued gaming on his phone. However, killing ordinary Vigor Ants or Mutated Vigor Ants was meaningless. After playing for a while, Zhou Wen quit the game and leaned back to sleep with his eyes closed.
The average person couldn't fall asleep just because they wanted to, but Zhou Wen was different. As long as he wanted to sleep, he could quickly fall asleep at any time. Even if there was a mountain of blades or a sea of flames beside him, he could still sleep.
This was also a kind of talent, and not just anyone could achieve it.
The reason why Zhou Wen was sleeping was because he wanted to know if he would still suffer from Ghost Crush after mastering the Lost Immortal Sutra.
Badump! Badump!
Not long after he fell asleep, Zhou Wen felt his heart race again. His chest felt stuffy as though something was pressing down on it.
Damn it, it's happening again! Zhou Wen felt depressed. He had already cultivated the Lost Immortal Sutra, but the abnormal phenomenon of Ghost Crush hadn't been resolved.
Not only had it not been resolved, but it seemed to have worsened. Zhou Wen vaguely heard a strange mumbling sound. It didn't sound human, but it also seemed extremely close. He couldn't tell what it was saying, but it sounded like the murmurs of a devil in hell.
He was in a daze the entire way until Li Xuan nudged him awake. Only then did he wake up from his abnormal state of being pinned down by ghosts.
However, unlike the previous two times, Zhou Wen didn't feel any discomfort or the urge to vomit. He only broke out into a cold sweat, and when the wind blew, he felt refreshed as though he was in a much better mood.
"Sunset College has a semi-closed management model. After we matriculate, we will have to stay on campus. Even I'm no exception. Before that, you can stay here with me." Li Xuan got out of the car and led Zhou Wen into a villa.
After the dimensional storms, due to Luoyang's rich dimensional zone resources, it quickly became a rising first-tier city in the League's East District. This was also the most prosperous area in the city. It could be said that every inch of land was worth its weight in gold. Those who could live in villas here were definitely rich or respectable.
Zhou Wen wasn't surprised that Li Xuan could stay here. What surprised him was that apart from Li Xuan's chauffeur, there wasn't a single servant in the huge villa.
"Don't tell me you're cleaning such a huge place by yourself?" Zhou Wen asked as he sat on the sofa.
"There were a few servants in the past, but they were all taken away by me. After all, there are some things that I don't want outsiders to know." Li Xuan took out a can of drink from the fridge and threw it to Zhou Wen. He continued with a smile, "Besides, I rarely come back. As a playboy, I naturally have to spend the night with prostitutes. That's befitting of my status. As for you, just stay here. When school starts, I'll think of a way to get the school to put us in the same dormitory. "
"Are there no single rooms in the school?" Zhou Wen frowned slightly. He was used to living alone from a young age. Furthermore, he still needed to game, so it was better for him to live alone.
"No, the Federation has always been thinking of ways to cultivate our ability to fight as a team. Regardless of whether it is the combat test of four people in a team or the teamwork during university, they are all built on this principle. It's especially so for a school like Sunset College that has a military background. The management style is also half-military. It's impossible to get a single room. Even if it's quiet, you can only stay in a group dormitory, "Li Xuan said.
"An Jing also wants to enter Sunset College?" Zhou Wen was slightly taken aback.
"Definitely. Her brother is Overseer An Tianzuo, a big shot in the military. She definitely wants to attend Sunset College, which has a military background."
With that said, Li Xuan looked at Zhou Wen with a nefarious smile and asked, "Tell me, how did you offend An Jing? She actually transferred to Guide High School just to beat you up. With An Jing's temper, she has never done such a thing in the past."
Zhou Wen thought for a moment and asked Li Xuan, "Do you know Ouyang Lan?"
"Of course. If you don't even know Ouyang Lan in a place like Luoyang, it would be a waste," Li Xuan said with a smile. "Don't tell me you offended Ouyang Lan? Then you sure are unlucky. It's no wonder An Jing beat you up. "
Zhou Wen shook his head. "I didn't offend Ouyang Lan."
"Then why did you mention her?" Li Xuan looked at Zhou Wen in puzzlement.
Zhou Wen asked again, "Has anything happened to Ouyang Lan recently?"
"Yes. Who in Luoyang City doesn't know that Ouyang Lan has remarried? However, she didn't hold a grand wedding. She only invited some close friends for a gathering. Outsiders don't know what kind of man Ouyang Lan married. I only heard that he's a translator. His surname seems to be Zhou …" With that said, Li Xuan suddenly widened his eyes as he looked at Zhou Wen and asked, "Your surname is also Zhou … Don't tell me there's something between the two of you?"
Zhou Wen shook his head without a word. Li Xuan's heart felt like it was being scratched by a kitten, but there was nothing he could do if Zhou Wen refused to say.
Zhou Wen stayed at Li Xuan's place and returned to his room. The first thing he did was call Zhou Lingfeng.
Zhou Lingfeng was Zhou Wen's father, not his son. There was no need for him to doubt Zhou Lingfeng's decision, so Zhou Wen had no intention of getting to the bottom of what Zhou Lingfeng wanted to do.
In fact, Zhou Lingfeng had never vetoed Zhou Wen's decisions. Even when it came to a major matter like attending college, Zhou Lingfeng didn't participate in his opinions. This seemed to have become a tacit understanding between the father and son.
Zhou Wen called Zhou Lingfeng to tell him that he had come to Luoyang and would be attending Sunset College in the future.
"Son, is the college entrance exam over? How did it go? "Zhou Lingfeng's voice sounded from the phone, sounding somewhat languid.
"Not bad. I've applied for Sunset College. If nothing unexpected happens, I'll be attending Sunset College in the future," Zhou Wen said.
"Sunset College? Isn't that in Luoyang? Come stay with me," Zhou Lingfeng said.
"There's no need. I'm temporarily staying at a friend's place. I'll stay on campus after I start school." Zhou Wen didn't wish to have anything to do with the An family.
Zhou Lingfeng didn't force Zhou Wen. "Alright then, tell me if you need anything. I'll try my best to satisfy you. You're already attending college and aren't young anymore. I'll increase your living expenses in the future. "
