"What's going on? If I remember correctly, that light looks like it came from the Tree of Life?"
Some Soul Masters remembered how Su Ming had released the Seed of Life when he first opened the passage. The moment the Seed of Life sprouted, it had burst into that brilliant emerald glow.
Wherever that light had reached, all things had flourished. Rich vitality had entered their bodies, benefiting every Soul Master present.
The Soul Master who spoke was bewildered and uncertain.
Some Titled Douluos who were still hanging back, safely "fighting above their level," had sharp eyesight. They saw that the emerald light came from the Abyss Bracelet on Lei Zhen's wrist.
Had Su Ming shown favoritism and used special materials to make Lei Zhen's bracelet?
No.
The Titled Douluos immediately rejected that idea.
They all lowered their heads to look at their own bracelets.
Their bracelets bore only cold, impersonal numbers displaying their Contribution Points.
While the Soul Masters in the rear were still puzzling over it, Lei Zhen dared not delay. He withdrew from the battlefield and stopped near the Abyss Gate.
He fought ferociously, but that did not mean he had no regard for his life.
To put it plainly, he fought like that because it felt good.
"Lei Zhen, your..."
Someone pointed at Lei Zhen's wrist, having spotted the tendrils that pulsed like blood vessels as they pumped something into it.
Lei Zhen pondered for a moment, then said, "The branch inside the bracelet seems to have undergone a second growth. These tendrils are supplying me with vitality."
He paused, seemingly doing some calculations. After arriving at a rough result, he told the others, "When I kill Abyss Creatures, the Abyss Energy devoured is converted into life energy, and a certain proportion is returned to me."
