For the next several days, Xiao Heng's body did not move in the slightest; even his fingers remained still. Under the tempering of the flames, a visibly thick layer of the crystals covering Zi Yan's body disappeared.
Seeing this, Third Elder and the others could not help but feel delighted. As long as Zi Yan recovered and refined the energy of the Dragon-Phoenix Origin Fruit, East Dragon Island would once again have a king-class Ancient Dragon.

An East Dragon Island without a king-class Magical Beast was like a nation without an emperor. It was only natural that its strength could not compare to the other three islands.
