After the end of the monster stampede in the Greenplains, there were roughly about 500 of the 2,000 students there that was injured, of which one-fifth were severely injured and a few dozens in critical state. Meanwhile, the dead only accounts up to less than 50 people, which was way less than the previous projection.
Currently, all the injured and the dead were gathered into two separate camps. These were done under the instructions from Duan Li and was managed prudently by Wang Guozhi.
Some of the teachers and subjugation squads took notice of this move, and they were curious about it. However, they were sure that the order came from either the Vice-Principal or the Principal himself, as only those two could practically command Senior Teachers, which were higher in status when compared to normal teachers to do something like this directly.
What got them really curious however, was the fact that the injured would be treated by a well-known, new junior student - Duan Li.
Rumor has it that the only reason why the First Front ended so quickly was due to this junior student alone, and currently, the details of these rumors had many people flabbergasted.
After all, what they have heard sounded so outlandish that it seemed more like a fantasy instead, or even a miracle!
Still, since Zhuge Liang, the squad leader of the Seventh Subjugation Squad was also the one involved in spreading this rumor, although many people remained doubtful, they couldn't easily dismiss the stories as false either.
The person in question behind all these -Duan Li, obviously did not care for whether they believe it or not, as he knew that it would only be a matter of time before things were proven.
There was however, one person that vehemently denied this rumors and considered them as baseless and false. This person was none other than that certain elder of the Strategist Club - Rong Huan, and claimed that these rumors were spread purposely by irresponsible people in order to crank up Duan Li's reputation.
In his opinion, the people who were spreading those rumors were apparentlytrying to get into the good side of Duan Li, so that the other party would take them in or pay them something as compensation.
Either way, Rong Huan was full of conviction that the new rising junior was nothing but a person full of fraud and underhanded means.
But of course, the number of people who believed what he said were totally miniscule in comparison to those who believed in those rumors. Thus, this had him angered greatly.
Inside a certain carriage..
Pang!
”What tea is this that tastes like a pile of horse sh*t?” Rong Huan barked out at his servant as he threw the pot of tea to the floor.
His servant that were currently serving him that tea immediately frowned upon this. However, her expression changed as quickly as the speed of light, thus she was not found out.
Bowing to her master, she replied, ”Perhaps I did not put enough sugar in it.. please forgive me master..”
Inwardly however, she was viewing the other party with disdain, ”Foolish master.. all these while I've been adding some horse's urine inside your tea a little bit every time, and you praised it to be your favorite.. to think that this time you would notice the taste of horse sh*t even though I only put it in slightly, have you become smarter?”
”Hmph! Make me a new one! And make sure its that favorite of mine! Also, I want the taste to be slightly stronger this time, or else... I will make the life of your younger brother miserable in the academy!” Rong Huan said with an imposing tone, as if talking to his slave.
Hearing this, she gritted her teeth slight, but immediately smiled after that.
You want the taste to be stronger? Sure.. I'll give you that!
”I will go to make the tea now master..” she said as she left the carriage to find the most oldest of horses, so that she could extract some of their urine.
Inside the carriage, Rong Huan couldn't help but to find himself becoming more frustrated.
”All these while, my life has been smooth-sailing.. now it became like this ever since you came to the academy! I will definitely make sure that you will thoroughly pay for this!”
...
Inside the tent where the dead were kept..
”How was it?” Wang Guozhi spoke with grim expression.
Duan Li shook his head.
”Fortunately, I do not detect the remnants of the Demiruke's virus inside these bodies.. without their source of food, which is the spiritual Qi, it seemed like they died almost instantly.” he said.
But before Wang Guozhi could let out a sigh of relief, Duan Li continued on.
”However, some of them were clearly infected with the virus before.. and when these virus died.. the negative energy contained within them began to slowly corrupt these body.”
He then lifted the arm of one of the body and gestured, ”Take a look..”
When Wang Guozhi casted his sights onto that arm, he did not notice anything unusual.
”Use your soul sense, then you would be able to detect it.” Duan Li said, knowing that the other party was only looking with his naked eyes.
Wang Guozhi shot his brows in realization and flushed red in embarrassment.
Wengg!!
After a moment, his expression turned solemn.
”This.. the decomposition of the arm.. is slowing down?” he said, feeling alarmed.
Duan Li nodded, ”That's right.. I have casted my soul sense onto those dead monsters, but this phenomena seemed to be only unique to a cultivator's corpse..”
