That brave soul who stood up; he was Gu Jun, Tycoon Gu

While the entire school tea loith complex exasperation They hid and shunned the ly welcohly valuable views could Tycoon Gu have? Is the aboe some sort of a behavioural art?

On the other side, the Qingyun University, Qihua Medical College and the other school’s group were perplexed Is thisshot within Eastern University? Why is he seated so far behind?

Even around hi, Cai Zixuan and the rest never anticipated that Gu Jun would voluntarily stand up to speak However, the e, all hints of worry i chap, what are your views on this?” slightly surprised, Professor Qin asked and iestured for some personnel to hand him a microphone

“I’m Gu Jun, student of the 8 Year Clinical Medicine course at Eastern University,” Gu Jun calmly introduced hilad clad in a fitting white doctor’s gown His youthful handso of the tense and oppressive at ?

Beside Professor Qin, all of the other judges were also piqued by Gu Jun’s strong confidence and fixated their gaze on hi at the e, “looks very much like a banyan tree”

The air within the stadiuly thick It was as if a strange question swept across the entire crowd and dyed their faces with the same befuddlement

Looks like a banyan tree? What nonsense are you talking about? Do you think you are a literature student? If you are a medical student, look at this from a medical viewpoint!

“Haiz, Tycoon Gu…”

“Banyan tree? Utter rubbish…”

The students and professors of Eastern University were unsurprised They had expected this shame and embarrassment from the moment Tycoon Gu stood up Alas, no ht of him within the school, he stood as a representative of the prestigious Eastern University Coyun University had a word or tith legiti away the pride of the college

On the other side, Professor Qin’s eyes lit up and sharply scrutinised Gu Jun again By his side, the expression on the judges took a sudden 180 degrees turn

“Like a banyan tree…” this was not so they were mentally prepared to hear about

“What makes you think so?” Professor Qin continued With aman, speak your mind Do not hold back”

This tiuely, they had the sa the way they thought it would

“Can I get closer to the iron cage and see it?” Gu Jun asked

“Sure” Professor Qin nodded

Under the stupefied eyes of the audience, Gu Jun walked from his seat to what used to be a field and stopped less than one e While he may seem calm and collected,Their jaere turning sore fro Instead of an observation, it felt e towards death

As he closed in, a strong forhtly accelerating and his breathing was getting heavier This abo sensation up close than it did from a distance Here, he could clearly see every detail about the twisted and fused joints The nerves and blood vessels had broken out of the body Snaking along the centre, they beca an uncanny semblance to that of the roots of a banyan tree

The ht becaan to see a unique aesthetic within this vile grotesque ement of others, his world view and perception would be free and extensive

“These hu the reaffiran to state his observations “It htful design Their four li outwards Yes, like the branches Their bodies are like a tree’s trunk In a si vessels and nerves are just like the aerial roots Lastly, their heads… It is evidence of their fusion I think this thing grows through each successive fusion Perhaps not just with hus of flesh and blood”

“Banyan trees can for…” His voice halted His mind attempted to put words to properly encapsulate thissystem by itself”

Immediately, the entire stadiu down their pride and judgeaze onto the creature Indeed, the an to realise While this analogy was freakish, it was… bizarrely fitting

That ball of flesh… it was really beginning to look like a banyan tree
