Chapter 399: I’m Gonna Do It Even More durable!

Jack’s physique had been damaged past recognition. Even his face had been burned—if Min Ling didn’t comprehend it was him, she wouldn’t be capable of acknowledge him.

His embers of life had been already disappearing. He was only a second away from demise.

In that second, his physique all of a sudden erupted with indescribably dense, unfathomably deep life power. It was like 1,000,000 lives bloomed in his chest. The world was coloured inexperienced, and Min Ling might really feel her personal wounds regenerating simply from being close by.

Jack was bathed in energy. His ruined physique slowly returned from the precipice of destruction. His organs regrew, his bones squirmed collectively, and his blackened flesh tumbled to the ground as new, rosy pores and skin too its place. Even his eyes, which had been burned to cinders, slowly reconstructed themselves.

It wasn’t the primary time Min Ling noticed such regenerative powers. The identical had occurred after Jack was nearly burned to demise by the magma. The sight remained as grotesque as final time, however now, that feeling was overshadowed by incomparable reduction.

He had nearly sacrificed himself to save lots of her. When her defend had shattered, she had been enduring the backlash and was utterly defenseless. Jack might have tossed her into the shockwaves to eat a few of their energy and improve his personal possibilities of survival. As a substitute, he had pulled her behind him and stepped ahead to take the blow.

Anybody would really feel immense gratitude after being handled like that, and Min Ling was no exception. Her coronary heart swam with reduction as she noticed him get well. If he actually died, she had no thought how she would really feel.

“Thanks,” she whispered, tears of gratitude welling up in her eyes. Immediately, nevertheless, she suppressed them. She rose and stepped earlier than Jack’s physique, going through the within of the cavern.

Although she was incomparably weak proper now, her powers all spent, she would somewhat die than let a single shockwave contact Jack.

A brorilla stepped up beside her. His eyes had been arduous, and his physique shone with golden radiance. He was as damage as she was, however he additionally rose to combat.

Fortunately, nevertheless, no extra shockwaves got here. The cavern was silent. Among the earlier energy nonetheless reverbated in opposition to the partitions, however it was nothing they couldn’t deal with, even of their present weakened state.

Area slowly restored itself. Min Ling noticed limitless cracks on the partitions, however all of them stood. As for the black dragon, its physique was mendacity on the bottom, damaged past recognition. A headless corpse was grasped in its claws.

The dragon’s tenacity had been unmatched. Even after enduring all these explosions, it had nonetheless managed to kill yet one more cultivator earlier than lastly succumbing to demise.

Of the sixteen B-Grades who had entered this cavern, 9 remained. They had been all sitting or standing across the dragon, recovering their power as rapidly as they may. Particularly Spacewind and Uruselam—if one among them was overly weakened, the opposite may launch a sneak assault.

Fortunately, it appeared that may not occur. Spacewind had conserved sufficient of his power, and so had Uruselam—his bubble hadn’t shattered as a result of he ran out of energy, however as a result of he dissolved it when his reserves ran low.

As Min Ling noticed them, in addition they noticed her. Spacewind opened a watch to look coldly at her. “You survived,” he mentioned. At that time, his indifference was so placing in opposition to Jack’s willingness to sacrifice himself that Min Ling felt disgusted. She didn’t even reply.

As a substitute, she turned to Uruselam and requested, “Is your healer nonetheless alive?”

The one B-Grade healer current was a part of the Hand of God. He was additionally alive, since Uruselam had protected him. The monk nodded, and the healer stepped forth, approaching Jack’s unconscious physique.

Seeing that, Spacewind’s gaze went much more frigid. Min Ling, the lady he desired, had not even replied to him. As a substitute, her first response was to search for a healer to remedy one other man—a person to whom she had been plastered a second in the past.

The flames of hatred in his coronary heart burned extra intensely, however he hid them. He had already determined to kill Jack. Doing so now, in entrance of everybody, could be thought of treason to his faction. Nonetheless, to exit the hidden realm they would wish to cross by way of an unstable area tunnel. At the moment, Spacewind was sure he might organize an accident for Jack, and even when somebody noticed by way of him, they might don’t have any proof.

I hope you might be nonetheless alive, he thought, gazing Jack’s unconscious physique. I need to kill you myself. Then, we’ll see if Min Ling nonetheless appreciates you.

The healer inspected Jack for a second, then frowned. “This man is completely wholesome,” he mentioned, glancing at Min Ling. “Why did you name me?”

“Simply ensuring. Thanks,” she replied calmly, and the healer walked away.

“I, uh, was considering of how extremely expert you might be at utilizing this power,” Jack replied with a wry smile.

“Then why are smiling like that?”

“My face muscle groups are nonetheless a bit twitchy.”

“You’re mendacity! I made positive to repair these! I didn’t need that little woman to assume you’re ugly.”

“It’s not like that…” Jack replied, shaking his head.

The turtle harrumphed as soon as—or was it laughing?—earlier than its voice turned severe. “In any case, hear nicely. That is the second time in a short time that I’ve needed to actively provoke the Supreme Blood to heal you. That’s what it’s made for, so I can’t blame you, however you actually need to cease attempting to sacrifice your self for others! Anyway, the Supreme Blood could also be extraordinary, however my very own energy isn’t limitless. I’ll should fall into slumber for some time. Strive to not die whereas I’m gone, okay?”

“How lengthy will that be?” Jack requested, however obtained no response. The turtle had fallen asleep as quickly because it mentioned so. What an enviable superpower.

After asking a pair extra instances and turning into satisfied that the turtle was already deeply asleep, Jack lastly sighed.

The Life Drop’s regenerative properties had been meant to complement his powers, not overshadow them. The 2 instances he’d been healed—as soon as now and as soon as after swimming in lava—had been already an excessive amount of. Such intense regeneration could be unavailable for the close to future, however Jack was nice with it.

And, in addition to, he didn’t remorse his former choices. Maybe he would have died with out the turtle’s help, however he would have performed so to save lots of Brock and Min Ling respectively. The previous went with out saying, and as for Min Ling, she had saved his life and Brock’s life as soon as. He owed it to her.

The turtle being asleep meant nothing. Even when he actually was going to die, he would sacrifice himself all the identical. Being alive was meaningless if it meant abandoning his path.

“How lengthy are you going to sleep for?” a girl’s voice reached his ears. “Stand up already.”

He opened one eye. Min Ling was bent over him, inspecting him along with her brows creased. As she observed he was awake, a touch of reduction handed over her eyes, disappearing within the subsequent immediate.

“You’re alive,” Jack mentioned, breaking into a large smile. “I’m glad.”

“After all I’m,” she replied, turning away.

Jack slowly compelled himself to face. Although he was healed, the whole lot nonetheless damage. He’d overdrawn himself. It could be arduous to combat at full energy earlier than resting.

As quickly as he was up, he surveyed his environment. A black dragon corpse lay at one finish of the cavern, ruined past recognition. Apart from being useless, it additionally appeared prefer it had been scavenged. Most of its scales had been lacking, whereas its stomach had been torn open and a number of other organs eliminated. Something of worth had been taken by the B-Grade cultivators.

Talking of B-Grades, the 9 remaining had been all meditating contained in the cavern, restoring themselves to their optimum state. Spacewind and Uruselam had been nonetheless alive. Of the remaining, three belonged to the Black Gap Church and 4 to the Hand of God. The stability of energy remained.

The B-Grades of every faction had gathered in two separate corners, whereas Jack, Brock, and Min Ling had been in one more. As quickly as Jack rose, the meditating Spacewind cracked open his eyes, coldly inspecting him earlier than closing them once more. To Jack’s shock, the enmity he felt in that gaze was even deeper than earlier than.

How the hell did I upset him this time? he puzzled, then put the problem to relaxation. All he might do was watch out.

“I consider it’s time, fellow benefactors.” A voice echoed by way of the cavern, originating from Uruselam. His white robes had been pristine, whereas one among his lengthy brows nonetheless hung beneath his chin. The opposite was lower off on the stage of his nostril.

At Uruselam’s phrases, the cultivators of his faction rose to their ft, as did the Church ones. Solely now did Jack discover the three cubes in the course of the cavern. Actually, he had seen them as soon as earlier than the dragon attacked. The stunning half was that they remained intact after that battle. They didn’t actually have a scratch.

“Did they await me to examine them?” Jack requested.

“After all not, you fool,” Min Ling replied. “You simply occurred to get up on time.”
