Zhou Wen returned to his dorm with the Great Might Vajra Bull Companion Egg. He originally considered entering Dragon Gate Grotto, but when he saw Feng Qiuyan in the tent, he was shocked.
He saw two mushrooms growing on Feng Qiuyanâs face.
âWhy are there mushrooms on your face?â Zhou Wen asked in puzzlement.
Before he left, he had already gotten Tai Sui to clean up the spores in the tent. After sealing the tent, there shouldnât have been any problems.
Feng Qiuyan said with a smile, âIâm fine. I was just curious. I unzipped the tent and wanted to take a look at the situation outside, but who knew that I would succumb to it? However, itâs not a big deal. There should be a way to resolve it.â
âIn your dreams. The military experts and tutors are studying the Parasite Spores, but they still havenât found a way to eliminate the mushrooms. Do you know that many soldiers have fainted because of the mushrooms? They might be like vegetative humans that wonât wake up again.â Zhou Wen was somewhat anxious.
âThen what should we do? I originally imagined that Brother Sheng was fine when he came. We just wanted to see the situation outside and didnât even go out. I originally imagined that nothing would happen, but I never expected Little Yanyan to fall victim,â Li Xuan said gloomily.
âYouâre fine?â Zhou Wen sized up Li Xuan. Feng Qiuyan had fallen victim. Logically speaking, with the numerous spores, it was impossible for only two to float in. It was odd that Li Xuan hadnât succumbed to it.
âIt should be because Iâm wearing my carapace. I donât have any mushrooms growing on me,â Li Xuan said.
âThatâs very likely.â Zhou Wen nodded slightly.
âItâs fine. With so many tutors and military experts researching day and night, itâs only a matter of time before they can come up with a treatment,â Feng Qiuyan ended up consoling them.
Zhou Wen thought for a moment and said to Feng Qiuyan, âI have something that could work, but itâs not guaranteed to be effective. It might end up completely useless. Do you want to give it a try?â
Feng Qiuyan didnât ask Zhou Wen what method he had and said, âCoach, feel free to try. Itâs best if it works. Itâs fine if itâs useless.â
Zhou Wen didnât stand on ceremony as he summoned Doctor Darkness. Then, he got Doctor Darkness to use Fight Poison With Poison to inject some poison into the mushrooms.
The mushrooms quickly withered and fell off automatically.
Zhou Wen and Li Xuan waited for a while longer. Seeing that there werenât any mushrooms growing on the wound on Feng Qiuyanâs face, they were overjoyed.

An Tianzuo had arrived at Leng Zongzhengâs office. He was brewing tea for Leng Zongzheng while An Sheng stood silently to the side.
âTeacher, isnât it a little too hasty for you to give Zhou Wen the Great Might Vajra Bull Companion Egg?â An Tianzuo held the teacup with both hands and said.
Leng Zongzheng said with a smile, âIâve already seen some of his abilities. He should be able to control the Great Might Vajra Bull.â
âTeacher, you think too highly of him. Although he does have some talent and is quite lucky to have obtained some Mythical Companion Beasts, heâs still a student after all. His experience and mental state arenât mature enough. He hasnât experienced much, so Iâm afraid he wonât be able to deal with sudden and unknown crises. Instead, he will be a burden on us,â An Tianzuo said.
âI remember that when you were his age, you had already led the Sunset Army to battle everywhere. You engaged in a slaughter in many dimensional zones, right? In that case, heâs not young anymore,â Leng Zongzheng said as he sipped his tea.
âHow can that be the same? I was trained from a young age. Iâve experienced countless life-and-death situations, but he hasnât experienced any setbacks. Relying on him for this matter is unreliable. Why donât you reconsider?â An Tianzuo said.
Leng Zongzheng smiled at An Tianzuo and said, âAre you afraid that he wonât do well, or are you afraid that he will be in danger?â
âOf course Iâm afraid that he screws up and implicates us,â An Tianzuo immediately answered.
âSo thatâs how it is. Then, itâs fine. Even if he canât help much, itâs not a problem for him to control the Great Might Vajra Bull. As for whether he will die in there or not, it doesnât matter since you arenât concerned,â Leng Zongzheng said with his eyes narrowed as he sipped his tea.
âTeacher, you should have heard that the empress dowager in my family dotes on him very much. If he were to die inside, I wouldnât mind, but Iâm afraid that the person back home wouldnât agree to it. When that happens, not only will I have a headache, but you will also have a headache, right?â An Tianzuo said.
âSo thatâs how it is.â Leng Zongzheng looked enlightened as he took a sip of tea and said, âHowever, I think Zhou Wen has quite a lot of combat experience. His adaptability isnât bad either, and he has quite a number of Companion Beasts. With the Great Might Vajra Bullâs protection, there shouldnât be much of a problem.â
An Tianzuo was about to say something when a soldier reported, âOverseer, thereâs news from the research institute. The problem of the Parasite Spores has been resolved.â
An Tianzuo was overjoyed when he heard that. He got up and asked, âExcellent, thatâs great. Which expert or tutor came up with the solution?â
Although the Parasite Spores were very weak, the effects they brought gave even An Tianzuo a headache. If they werenât resolved in time, the Sunset Army and the college would suffer a heavy blow.
The soldier answered, âAccording to the news we received, a studentâs Companion Beast can restrain the Parasite Spores. The unconscious soldiers who he helped have already woken up. The mushrooms automatically peel off and stop growing. Currently, the student is clearing out the Parasite Spores on the soldiers and tutors.â
âStudent?â An Tianzuo frowned slightly.
Leng Zongzheng smiled and asked, âWhatâs the studentâs name?â
âHis name is Zhou Wen. He was the one who rushed into the dimensional creature horde yesterday to kill the golden bull,â the soldier immediately answered.
Leng Zongzheng turned his head to look at An Tianzuo and said, âWhat did I say? This Zhou Wen is still alright. He resolved a problem that so many people couldnât. If you say heâs unsuitable, who else is more suitable?â
...
Zhou Wen used Doctor Darkness to remove the Parasite Spores on everyone. Doctor Darknessâs Fight Poison With Poison was indeed useful. As long as he injected it into the spores, the spores would quickly die and there wouldnât be a relapse.
âLittle Wen, well done.â Qin Wufu was the last to receive Zhou Wenâs treatment. He patted Zhou Wenâs shoulder and said, âThink about it again. Join me after graduation. You can name any conditions you want.â
âItâs still a long time before graduation. I havenât considered these matters,â Zhou Wen said.
âItâs about time to consider it carefully. The situation in the various parts of the Federation isnât too good right now. I wonder how many more years we can last,â Qin Wufu said with a sigh.
After busying himself for more than a day, he finally removed all the spores that had parasitized people. When Zhou Wen returned to the tent, he originally wanted to take out the Great Might Vajra Companion Egg and hatch it.
However, he realized that Tai Sui had completed its evolution. He hurriedly summoned it to see what changes it had.
