Chapter 61: A Monstrous Physique

Sure enough, after getting up, Alva quickly straightened her collar, feeling the sticky saliva still lingering inside. Remembering how Robin had licked her for five or six seconds just moments ago, she was instantly consumed by extreme shame and fury, wanting nothing more than to give Robin a severe beating to vent her anger.

However, seeing Robin unconscious, she immediately felt a slight pang of panic and dared not make a move. If she had merely used her acupoint-striking technique to stimulate Robin, it would have been nothing; she had been confident enough not to injure him when she did that.

Yet, Robin’s sudden explosion of immense strength had broken through her restraints, and that terrifying potential could potentially cause massive damage to his body. Therefore, Alva was extremely worried. If she had truly inflicted serious injuries on Robin, she would be in deep trouble herself.

Everyone knew that Robin was currently the apple of the Lei family's eye. If he were to suffer conditions such as severed meridians, she would undoubtedly be unable to withstand the wrath of the old master of the Lei family.

The others present were also stunned, completely unprepared for such a turn of events.

In truth, what shocked them most was that Robin had actually managed to break free from the ropes and tackle Alva. As for his head being buried in Alva's chest, although they had all seen it, they simply assumed it was the result of Robin losing control of his strength in a frenzy, completely unaware that Robin's tongue had actually played a significant role.

Alva’s expression flickered with uncertainty as she breathed heavily at the scene. After a few seconds, she turned to a male student and said, "Quickly call the medical staff."

"Yes." The others also suspected that Robin might have been severely injured, so they dared not delay and immediately went to fetch help.

In less than a minute, medical personnel rushed over, placed Robin on a stretcher, and carried him away. By this time, Alva's shame and fury had vanished, replaced entirely by anxiety over Robin's condition.

Even if Robin were not the grandson of Rayner, she now felt that treating Robin in such a manner earlier had been somewhat rash and excessive, especially given the current outcome. If anything were to happen to Robin, she would undoubtedly harbor extreme self-blame.

What she did not know was that Robin, currently lying on the stretcher, was grinning broadly as he flicked his tongue, reminiscing about those wonderful five seconds.

"Hehe, trying to mess with me? Did you really think I'm that easy to deal with? You've paid the price now, wahahaha, that feeling was simply indescribable..."

Robin was overwhelmingly excited.

"What? That brat was punished by Alva, broke the dynamometer's ropes, and has now been carried off to the infirmary?" Upon hearing this news, Tan Xiaolin was immediately taken aback.

Hearing his subordinate's description, he naturally knew this matter was grave. The force Robin had exploded with in that split second was simply too immense. For a tier-one martial artist, suddenly unleashing such terrifying strength was by no means a good thing; it was highly likely to damage his meridians, and perhaps permanently.

If that happened, Robin might never be able to make any further progress on the path of ancient martial arts. For the Lei family, this would undoubtedly be a massive blow, and that old man would surely drive a battleship straight to the academy.

"Yes, the moment he snapped the dynamometer, the displayed force reached 130 tons," the subordinate reported once more.

"What? 130 tons? A tier-one martial artist suddenly exploding with 130 tons of force? It's over, completely over this time. The kid's meridians must be utterly destroyed. Sigh, how am I going to face that old man?" Tan Xiaolin wore a mournful expression, his heart aching deeply.

Tan Xiaolin was himself a tier-nine martial artist and had a profound understanding of the martial path, knowing just how severe the damage to the human body could be under such an explosive release of colossal force.

If it were an ordinary person, unleashing such immense strength would have instantly caused their body to explode into a pile of minced meat. Even for a tier-one martial artist, suddenly bursting forth with such tremendous power would surely shatter every meridian in their body, and even cause their muscles to completely rupture and die, leaving them likely bedridden for the rest of their lives.

His relationship with the Lei family was deep. Although he and Rayner could be considered rivals, having spent a lifetime opposing one another had long since fostered a profound bond.

The Lei family had suffered a devastating catastrophe not long ago, and now that they had finally managed to reclaim a descendant, only for him to become crippled, how could he not feel sorrow and regret?

He slumped defeatedly into his chair, lacking the energy to pursue Alva's fault.

He knew Alva could not have done it intentionally, as no one could have anticipated that Robin was capable of unleashing such force. However, the outcome was simply too disastrous.

"Sigh, fate, it's all fate." Tan Xiaolin felt utterly helpless, unsure of how to face Rayhuan, who had personally brought Robin to the academy.

Just at that moment, however, his communicator rang.

Tan Xiaolin glanced at the caller ID; it was none other than the infirmary. He almost lacked the courage to listen to this piece of bad news, and it took a full ten seconds before he finally activated the communicator.

"Reporting to the Headmaster, Robin's physical condition is completely normal, and he has already returned to his apartment," the medical staff on the other end reported.

"Hmm?" Thinking he had misheard, Tan Xiaolin froze for a few seconds before asking, "What did you just say? His physical condition is completely normal? Weren't his meridians severed? Weren't his muscles necrotic?"

Perhaps because Tan Xiaolin's reaction was too intense, the medical staff member on the other end hesitated for a moment before replying, "Of course not. Robin's physical state is exceptionally good; he only suffered some minor muscle strain. Given his physical fitness, after a little rest, he'll be completely fine by tomorrow."

"What? Only some minor muscle strain?" Tan Xiaolin instantly leaped out of his chair.

"Yes, Headmaster. We've checked him repeatedly, and his physical condition is indeed remarkably good. In fact, when he left, he jumped straight down from the fifth floor—full of life and vigor," the medical personnel added.

"Oh, I see. Thank you for your hard work." With that, Tan Xiaolin closed the communicator, his mind churning in utter turmoil. "What kind of freak is this Robin? He explodes with 130 tons of force and is completely fine, suffering nothing more than a bit of muscle strain? Is he really a tier-one martial artist? I saw him last time, and the fluctuations on him were indeed only tier-one. Could the dynamometer be broken? Even if it were broken, the tensile strength of those ropes was definitely over 100 tons. Bursting those ropes apart outright means he definitely hit over 100 tons. Moreover, it seemed he pinned Alva to the ground for quite a while. What is Alva's strength? She's a tier-six martial artist! Without over 100 tons of force, how could he possibly pin her down? But... but if that's true, it defies all logic! How could he possibly be completely fine? Damn it, the Lei family always produces these freakish individuals. I thought Rayner was freakish enough back then, only for Ray Xingfeng to appear. And just when I thought Ray Xingfeng was freakish enough, his son turns out to even more of a freak. Damn it, how on earth are the genes in that old Lei family's bloodline produced?"

At that moment, Tan Xiaolin used countless curses in his mind to express his agitation, because Robin's phenomenon simply defied all reason.

Meanwhile, Robin had already returned to his apartment, still counting his blessings along the way. "Good thing I slipped away fast, otherwise if they gave me a thorough check and happened to discover my camouflage skin, I'd be dead for sure."

Upon returning to his apartment, Robin suddenly felt a wave of exhaustion wash over him. An irresistible drowsiness surged up, and he collapsed onto the sofa and fell fast asleep. Although Robin's body was vastly different from ordinary people due to his constant torment by Xingmeng and having his meridians cleared by Rayner, he had nonetheless expended an immense amount of energy just now, causing quite a few of his cells to die off and requiring a period of recuperation.

I do not know how much time had passed, but just as Robin was dozing off in a daze, he suddenly heard the doorbell ring.

"Damn it, who could it be at this time of night?" Robin groggily opened his eyes, only to find that the sky outside had already turned dark. Stretching lazily, he got up and opened the door, only to find Lu Neng standing outside.

"Oh, Professor Lu, why are you here? Is something the matter?" Seeing it was Lu Neng, Robin asked with slight surprise, wondering why he was visiting.

Upon seeing Robin, Lu Neng's eyes revealed even greater astonishment. Quickly wearing a smile, he said, "Nothing at all. It's just that I heard you had a little accident during the ancient martial arts class today, so I specifically came to see if you were alright. You know how it is—Professor Alva's actions did indeed somewhat exceed academy regulations..."

"Ah... no, not at all. Actually, I know Professor Alva did it for my own good. Please tell the Headmaster not to blame Professor Alva. She is undoubtedly the most knowledgeable teacher I've ever met, and I very much hope to continue learning ancient martial arts from her in the future. Today was just a minor accident. If it's because I broke the dynamometer, I can pay for the damages..."

Hearing Lu Neng speak thus, Robin assumed Lu Neng had come to gather evidence in order to punish Alva. Robin had scored a huge bargain today and was overjoyed, already plotting to take even greater liberties in the future. If Alva were to be heavily penalized and driven out of the academy because of his grandfather's influence, Robin felt the loss would be far too great, so he immediately pleaded on Alva's behalf.

"Damn it, I even swore to sleep with her someday; how could I let her just get chased away like this?"

Listening to Robin's words, Lu Neng's eyes widened as he thought to himself, "What kind of monster is this kid? It really seems like he's completely fine. I watched that surveillance footage and checked the dynamometer myself; that was definitely the result of an instantaneous burst of 130 tons of force. If it were any other tier-one martial artist, they would have been smashed to smithereens already, yet this kid is totally fine. The Headmaster sent me to check if he's really okay, and incidentally asked me to put in a good word for Alva and beg him not to tell his grandfather. I never expected that he'd actually be pleading on Alva's behalf himself, and even offering to pay for the dynamometer? Does he truly have no idea what kind of danger he faced today? Is this kid even human?"

"Ahem... Yes, actually I also feel that today was just an accident. Don't worry, Robin, we will handle this impartially." Lu Neng could only stall Robin with these words before preparing to return and report to the Headmaster.

"Don't handle it impartially!" Hearing Lu Neng say this and assuming he intended to punish Alva, Robin instantly panicked and blurted out, "This really isn't Professor Alva's fault! I will compensate for all damages, alright?"

"Ahem... Well... alright. Since you've put it that way, then I suppose we won't handle it impartially. When I go back, I'll explain the situation clearly to the Headmaster and let Professor Alva continue to be your instructor." Lu Neng said with a beaming smile, already faintly guessing the real reason behind Robin's desperate defense of Alva.
