The Geared Immortal

Power combo

On a stone tiled ground lays a pudgy young man with blood covering half of his body. The young man's eyelids slowly flutter as his eyes tried to open. Then he found himself lying on the ground with warm liquid covering him. When he tried to move he suddenly feels pain all over his body, as if all of his bones are broken.

This pain woke Tong Lei up from his fainted state a while ago. At this time he didn't know how many hours have passed since passing out as he tried to recall what happened.

Then suddenly he remembered that he was crafting his own glasses when someone attacked him. This creation of his that should be his ultimate creation was disrupted when someone attacked him.

"Ugh… My… body hurts…" Tong Lei muttered under his breath as he tried to drag himself up.

Then suddenly he felt a pang of pain cursing through one of his arms. When his gaze turns to see that arm he was mortified. The wound was too severe that his bones are already showing. Luckily for him that he was a cultivator and that his blood vessels have already clotted.

Then suddenly his senses were woken when he felt the warmness of his surroundings. Then he saw that the whole laboratory was on fire.

This made Tong Lei panicked and tried to stand up, but failed as his large body crumbled to the ground.

"No, no, no! This can't be! All the research materials of the seniors and teachers! How can these things happen?!" he muttered in disbelief.

He knows the time and effort given in making this project. And he was aware of the effort that the teachers have put into this so that they can complete the project. But now, everything is in ruins and he blames himself for being too reckless and let the enemy burn everything.

"Huhuhu… I'm sorry everyone… I'm just so useless… If my life is the payment for my transgressions then so be it." Tong Lei said with dignity as he cried in shame.

The crackling sound of fire burning through woods and parchments are making Tong Lei's heart feel like being torn apart. Right now, he can't bear to see the eyes of his classmates and teachers that have worked hard for this.

But what can he do? He can't even stand up as his whole body seems to have been really hurt badly. As his eyes slowly dimmed he felt really regretful deep in his heart.

As his mind slowly fades away, the handsome face of his brother and teacher flashed through his mind.

"Teacher… I'm thankful that you have taught me a lot of things… Yet I'm sorry for being a disappointment to you." Tong Lei muttered as he slowly closes his eyes.

But suddenly he heard a familiar voice.

"Don't you dare sleep on me! Tong Lei! Wake up!"

Tong Lei seems to know who this voice belong to and wanted to see this person's face. He knows that this voice is from his master.

"Am I hallucinating now? I think I heard master Shin's voice… Hehe…" Tong Lei said with a smile.

"Fool! Wake up!" Suddenly Shin Jiao said as he squatted down and check Tong Lei's condition.

From behind Shin Jiao is a whirling portal that seems to be a small gate. Shin Jiao would not dare use this kind of gate is not in emergency cases as they use too much energy. This small gate alone cost him 1,000 low-level spirit stones, which is a little expensive.

From that gate followed two women and two children.

"Jie Ye, this is a chance for the kids to learn..." Shin Jiao said as he commanded Jie Ye to help with the fire.

With little Bao's control on the water, his mother taught him to carefully put off the raging fire which Jie Ye also tried to absorb.

As the mother and son work their magic, Shin Jiao asked little Haoyin to stand beside him.

"Little Yin'er can you help this older brother with his wounds?" Shin Jiao asked.

Then little Haoyin nods her head in confirmation. From the looks of it, little Haoyin is not afraid of seeing wounds.

Before the group arrives in the research room of the crafting department. Shin Jiao has already asked the two kids about their powers and what the two have discovered. And from the two's narration, Shin Jiao was astonished and became really interested.

Haoyin Fu has the ability to control the regeneration of cells, which means that she can control both plants' and animals' growth. Though she could not control it perfectly yet, however, for wounds in the body of animals, she can already help those creatures heal them. This is what the two kids would usually do while in the compound as they play. Sometimes because of Bao Fu's rash behavior, he would fall down and injure himself. And with the help of little Haoyin, his wounds would be healed in no time.

As little Haoyin walks beside Tong Lei, she slowly squatted down and tried to touch his skin. But suddenly the little girl frowns and shook her head.

"What's wrong, Yin'er?" Shin Jiao asked in confusion.

"Big Brother Shin… he is very strong… I can't…" little Haoyin said with her small voice as if she is shy for not being of use.

Suddenly her eyes began to tear up as she slowly frowns and sobs.

"Oh, no, no, it's okay little Yin'er… Big brother understands. I just want to see your power." Shin Jiao said as he hugs the little girl and calmed her down.

Little Hoayin felt a little displeased with herself for not being of help in this situation.

Suddenly, little Bao turned towards little Haoyin and shouted.

"Sister, let's do it like the capsule!"

When she heard this her eyes went wide in realization and suddenly she hit her small forehead.

"Tsk… big brother, you're right! Help me!" little Haoyin shouted.

Then Shin Jiao saw the two do something that he never would have expected. While helping his mom and holding a spirit stone on his hand, he freed his other hand suddenly from the air formed wobbling water shaped like a sphere, which quickly covered Tong Lei's whole body. Before it covers his head, little Haoyin extended both of her arms and touched the crystal water and it immediately turned green.

Tong Lei who is half-conscious suddenly felt fear upon seeing that he is going to be drowned in a water sphere. But before he can realize it, he suddenly feels his whole body become comfortable. And he also realized that his lungs didn't need air as it functions like normal even in that water sphere.

When Shin Jiao saw this, he was dumbfounded. He didn't know what has these two kids been practicing that they are able to do this. But he decided to ask the two when they come back. From the looks of it, these two are keeping more secrets from them.

It didn't take too long for them to put out the fire which has already alarmed the whole crafting department.

When the teachers arrive in the scene they saw two people, Shin Jiao and Tong Lei.

At this time, Jie Ye and the rest have already gone back through the gate.

As the two went out of the research area, they were greeted with the frantic look from the teachers and the other students who didn't go home for this break.

As most of them are too busy with their own research and studies that they felt like going home is a waste of time.

"What happened?" Suddenly one of the teachers asked with concern.

But before Shin Jiao can answer, someone suddenly commented from the crowd.

"The two tried to burn down the research so that the academy won't be able to finish the research on that phone thing. Maybe they are planning to stop the research… Are they spies from the enemy?"

"Yeah, they might be those damned beast people spies!"

"Get them! Get them now!"

Suddenly with the instigation and the suspicious event that has happened, most of the students in this place were suddenly convinced that the two might be spies from the enemy, the beast clan.

The students might not be aware of this, but the teachers are. So they immediately move and grab the two students.

This sudden turn of events was not expected by the two which made them a little dumbfounded. They never would have expected that the person who is behind all of this mess would use the knowledge that there are spies in the academy and use it against the two of them.

Shin Jiao was right now feeling in rage. He actually didn't want to bother with this as the person who is responsible for this mess is a royal. And being involved with the royal family is a great mess for him. He has already in contact with the two princes, luckily for him; those two are not the stupid kind of royalties.

Actually Shin Jiao has installed a monitoring system in the lab and is always monitoring what is happening inside it.

When he saw that fatty Tong Lei is trying his hard to craft something in the lab, he was happy. He knew how hard-working Tong Lei is.

So he didn't watch further, when he took the children in the underground training area and asking them some questions, Shin Jiao suddenly felt a nagging feeling in his heart to double-check the lab. At first, he wanted to just shrug it off as it seems like it's just a small nagging feeling. But after a while, he just can't put his mind into it. So he decided to open the camera monitor.

And what he saw made Shin Jiao panicked. He can see that the entire lab is already burning and the figure of Tong Lei is already lying on the ground swimming in his own pool of blood.

Upon seeing this he didn't hesitate and immediately activate a gate portal directly to the lab.
