Chapter 49: Injuries and Awakenings
Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
In the second year of high school in Quicksand High School, the average martial artist’s cultivation was at the Late Stage Rank One, and the average vitality points would be around 90 points.
The average cultivation of espers was slightly lower, at the Middle Stage Rank One. It was harder to increase mentality than vitality.
Meanwhile, Chu Lingjun was only two vitality points away from breaking through to Late Stage Rank One. To Chu Lingjun, two Vitality points can be gained pretty quickly. He can get that in two to three days.
At that time, Chu Lingjun would be a Late Stage Rank One martial artist and esper — a dual martial artist!
The combination of being a martial artist and having superpowers was something that ordinary people would never achieve!
Chu Lingjun was in a good mood and was smiling the entire day.
When school ended, Chu Lingjun waited for his father, Chu Xingguo, to return.
To be honest, Chu Lingjun really didn’t have the confidence to convince his father to retire.
His father had provided for this family for more than ten years, and he had just awakened his superpower for more than a month. Asking him to retire… would be equivalent to asking for a beating!
“It’s okay. We can take it slow.”
Chu Lingjun comforted himself. After a few months of persuasion, his father would slowly accept his suggestion.
The situation at the front line was getting more and more serious. It was best if his father could retire as soon as possible.
Time slowly passed until seven at night.
His mother — who had finished steaming the rice and washing the vegetables — walked out of the kitchen. She looked up at the clock on the wall and muttered, “It’s getting late. Why isn’t he back yet?”
“Didn’t you call?” Chu Lingjun sat cross-legged on the sofa with a spirit stone in his hands. While waiting, he took the opportunity to cultivate.
“I did. Your dad’s comrade picked up. He said that he had something to do and would be late.” contemporary romance
“Then let’s wait a little longer.” Chu Lingjun frowned.
After half an hour…
Finally, the sound of a lock being turned came from outside the door, and the door opened.
Chu Lingjun and Fang Shuping immediately looked towards the door.
“Dad!”
“I’m home!”
When the two of them saw the man at the door, their pupils suddenly trembled. They let out a low cry and rushed towards the door.
Although Chu Xingguo had returned, his left hand was covered in a thick layer of white plaster. His face was pale, and there was a soldier in camouflage beside him supporting him.
“Dad!”
“What happened?”
Chu Xingguo’s pale face squeezed out a smile, “I’m fine. It’s just a fracture in my left hand. I’ll be able to recover after resting for a month or two.”
“What… What happened to you?”
His mother’s face was pale and filled with fear. Her voice trembled as she rushed to Chu Xingguo.
The thing she was most afraid of had happened!
She kept checking Chu Xingguo’s body nervously. After confirming that it was only his left hand that was injured, a trace of blood finally returned to her face.
At this moment, the soldier who had been following beside him introduced himself.
Chu Lingjun glanced at his epaulets. Although this person was young, he was a commander and should be his father’s commanding officer.
He carefully sensed the vitality in his body. It was thick and surging. He was at least a Rank Two martial artist!
He said apologetically to Chu Lingjun and Fang Shuping, “He suffered a fracture in his left hand while battling the horde of beasts. The hospital in the army has already performed a bone reattachment surgery for him. It went smoothly. He will recover after half a month and will need a month of rest. Our team will bear all the treatment costs. I’ve also applied for a subsidy for his time on leave. I’m really sorry!”
Toward the end of his sentence, the commander even bowed to Chu Lingjun and Fang Shuping.
Chu Xingguo looked embarrassed. “Hey man, relax. I’m a soldier. It’s my responsibility to defend the country. It’s inevitable to get injured in battle! It’s just a small fracture. It’s not a big deal. Compared to the others who are missing arms and legs, I’m considered a lucky man!”
“Stop that!” Fang Shuping, who was originally sorrowful, instantly exploded when she heard Chu Xingguo’s words!
Her eyes were red as she stared at Chu Xingguo and said angrily.
“Okay geez…” Chu Xingguo’s body instantly stiffened when he met Fang Shuping’s eyes. He quickly admitted defeat.
Everyone shared a few more pleasantries before the commander left.
His mother went to the kitchen to stir-fry a few dishes, and the family of four began to eat dinner.
After Fang Shuping sat in her seat and ate a few mouthfuls, her eyes suddenly turned red. Large drops of tears fell from her eyes and fell into the bowl. Fang Shuping did not seem to notice it as she stuffed her mouth with food.
His father panicked. “Shuping, honey, what’s wrong?”
His mother ignored Chu Xingguo and finished her dinner with red eyes. Then, sne silently went Inco me room.
Chu Xingguo chased after her.
Chu Lingjun suddenly smiled as he looked at the two of them.
Originally, he had thought that it would take a few months to persuade his father to retire from the front line, but now there was no need.
His father was injured, but Chu Lingjun was unexpectedly in a good mood.
Chu Lingjun pushed Chu Yue to the small balcony next to the kitchen and let her moon gaze. Then, Chu Lingjun took the bowls on the dining table one by one into the kitchen to wash them.
Chu Lingjun was in a good mood as he washed the dishes and told Chu Yue some interesting things that happened in school.
Chu Yue didn’t know if she understood or not, but she responded with a babbling sound whenever he mentioned something silly.
Chu Lingjun did not notice that Chu Yue had raised her trembling right hand and pointed at the moon above her head.
As she spoke, the moonlight on her right index finger suddenly rippled like the surface of water, like a jumping elf.
Wisps of frosty moonlight slowly revolved around Chu Yue’s fingers.
Chu Lingjun rarely released his Electric Field unless it was absolutely necessary.
This was because this skill was very powerful. It allowed him to check all kinds of things in detail. Similarly, it was easy to pry into some private things.
“Haha!”
On the balcony, Chu Yue noticed that the silver-white moonlight was moving slowly along her fingers. Her smile became brighter and happier, like a child who had just received a toy..
