"Take off your shirt."

Faced with the senior instructor's request, Yi Chen had no choice but to do as he was told.

After unbuttoning the last button and taking off the shirt, a body different from that of an ordinary person was revealed, and the scars of new flesh filling the chest were also quite obvious.

Bang!

Bailey suddenly pulled out a thin whip and hit Yu Yichen directly on the side.

Most people would roll around in pain from this kind of whipping, but Yi Chen's expression was a little strange.

The external oblique muscles hit by the pointer appear to be slightly sunken, and then return to their original shape as if they were slowly inflated.

Pah pah pah~

Then he whipped several other parts of Yi Chen's body, and similar situations occurred everywhere. Even some areas where there should not be muscles were filled with small lumps of muscle-like groups.

After the beating, he used the teaching stick to scrape Yi Chen's side abdominal muscles.

"I can't teach you for a very simple reason! The shape of your body is beyond the norm. Look at the muscle distribution and adaptive reflexes. It's really outrageous.

The so-called body skills are also based on my understanding of the body.

But my understanding is not suitable for you... Go back to Zed, he is the only one in this city who can teach you about the physical aspect.

Moreover, in my opinion, you don’t need to pay too much attention to the body method. It may be more effective to use the time spent learning the body method to further understand the body.”

"knew."

While Yi Chen was getting dressed again, Bailey rummaged through the drawer and took out a small item.

"Hey~ I don't like owing people anything. Take this, and come to me if you have any problems in the future."

A special card with an olive tree printed on the back was thrown to Yi Chen. It was the unconditional pass to Gethsemane.

With this card, Yi Chen can enjoy the same privileges as ordinary students and can even participate in the training and actual combat here.

"By the way, what do you think of Jin?"

Faced with the questions raised by Instructor Bailey, Yi Chen did not think about it for too long.

“Her extreme and even uncontrollable personality should be a character flaw brought about by her early life and cannot be repaired.

But you can try to turn this defect into a 'key' to cooperating with her, and also a 'special pillar' for her to survive in this world."

Bailey seemed very satisfied with the answer. She lifted Yi Chen's chin slightly with her toes through the fishnet stockings.

"It seems that you already know her better. In this way, you can deepen your cooperation in the future."

Yi Chen did not reject Instructor Bailey's bad habit of using her feet. He maintained this contact and thought of a topic.

"By the way, Jin's coordination has reached its limit. You should arrange for her to search for relics and break through her limits, right?"

"Yes, she should be carrying out a relic-related mission within half a year. If you are interested, you can join her then."

"good.

Besides, I mentioned you to Teacher Zed before I went on the mission, and he still remembered. Do you need me to help you arrange a time for Instructor Bailey to come to the academy?"

Hearing this, Bailey retracted her legs and her expression changed slightly.

"No, I can see him anytime I want. Let's stop here today. You can come over anytime when you are free. You can also join us in some of our daily training."

"Okay, goodbye, instructor!"

Just as Yi Chen turned to leave and was about to approach the secret door of the office,

A soft touch suddenly touched my back.

The body clearly feels a soft, squeezing sensation from the flesh.

But at the soul level, the feeling was like sharp knives were against my back, and some of the blades had even penetrated my body.

Instructor Bailey's voice was also heard, but it was unusually cold and even a little strange.

"One last thing. There shouldn't be anything you've hidden from me about the investigation you just described, right?"

While asking this question, Instructor Bailey behind him moved her body down and placed her ear just below his left shoulder blade, right at the location of his heart, and listened attentively to Yi Chen's heartbeat.

A drop of cold sweat slid down my forehead.

Yi Chen calmed down and said, "Everything I have stated is true... If Instructor Bailey has any doubts, you can verify it with Jin."

The office was silent.

Bailey didn't respond, just listened quietly to his heartbeat.

I don't know how long it took, but the feeling behind me finally disappeared.

When Yi Chen, sweating profusely, turned around, he saw Instructor Bailey smiling and putting the chicken lady's finger into her display case, as if nothing had happened.

Without stopping, he immediately met Jin outside the door and left Gethsemane together.

When Yi Chen crossed the arch bridge and returned to the street area, he suddenly knelt on one knee, covering his pounding heart with his hand.

Inside the heart,

Crunch, crunch~ The roots of the plant that spread through the blood vessels to the inner wall of the heart and forcibly stabilized the heart rhythm slowly retracted. If it weren't for the plant's control of the heartbeat, Instructor Bailey would have definitely seen through her lie just now.

Jin, who was standing by, was only thinking about the swollen bag on her shoulder and did not doubt Yi Chen's abnormality.

"Hurry up, if you don't go back and process it, the meat will go bad."

"Jin... My temporary heart seems to be a little bit overwhelmed. I have to go to the hospital immediately. Why don't you go back first and I will come to you after I have treated your injuries."

"Remember to come."

Jin shrugged. She was now more interested in the new weapon than Yi Chen, and quickly disappeared into the street.

Yi Chen also stood up slowly, his forehead covered in cold sweat.

Instead of going directly to Offalistic College, he made an appointment with Professor Chamberson through a roadside pay phone.

The content of the conversation was very simple. Chamberson could tell that Yi Chen had something shady to discuss with him. He only said one sentence on the phone.

"Your costume is about to need maintenance. We can talk about other things later."

After hanging up the phone, Yi Chen went straight to the street area - lower floor

We walked into the secretive Chasm-Street, which was home to various "illegal" shops, and came to the nameless tailor shop on the corner of the street again.

When I stepped onto the second floor stairs,

The secret door of the dressing room was slightly open, obviously reserved for Yi Chen.

As he stepped into it, the secret door closed immediately.

Professor Chamberson had arrived earlier and was chatting with tailor Yin Wan in the small dressing room.

When Yi Chen arrived, Boss Yin Wan walked forward with a cane and touched the clothing with one hand.

"Is it already damaged to this extent after only wearing it for a year?"

"I'm sorry... The damage on the last mission was too severe. If it weren't for Mr. Yin Wan's craftsmanship, this dress would have been unwearable long ago."

"Bring me some Gentleman's Leather that matches your attire, and I will help you mend it."

"Um."

Professor Chamberson stood silently at the deepest part, and together with the owl on his shoulder, they examined Yi Chen, who had undergone a fundamental change.

"Have you improved your physique? It seems that the mission provided by Gethsemane is very effective for you... Tell me, what is it that cannot even be discussed in the academy? You need to ask me out alone."

After Yi Chen nodded, there was a squirming in his heart area, and some kind of living thing gradually rose up in his throat.

Soon! A black umbilical cord emerged from its mouth and automatically wrapped around its arm as if it had a spirit.

The moment I saw the umbilical cord,

Both Yin Wan, the former great tailor, and Professor Chamberson, who was well-informed, were stunned.

"This is... a relic of life attributes!"

Yi Chen did not conceal anything and told Instructor Bailey the details of the investigation mission, including the matter of the 'lost holy fetus' that he had hidden from her.

I heard that Yi Chen chose to help the patient complete the open source and obtain the relic.

Mr. Yin Wan smiled first, "Bai Xiao, I was wondering why you were suddenly interested in recruiting students... I'm afraid Zion has rarely seen such students in the past few decades or even hundreds of years."

Chamberson did not respond to his old friend, but put his hand on Yi Chen's shoulder.

“You were right to conceal the truth. Once the fact that you assisted patients in opening up their accounts is exposed, it will inevitably cause some controversy.

The value of this relic exceeds that of ordinary relics. You should continue to keep it in your body and do not let anyone else know about it.

I will also try my best to intervene in the subsequent inquiries and reviews of your tasks by the Gentlemen's Hall."

"Thank you, Professor."

"Well done! You are worthy of being my student."
