"The most important thing is—I survived!"
"I survived!!"
The joy of survival was so intense and moving that Zhen Jin subconsciously kept repeating those words.
There had been a time when Zhen Jin had thought he was doomed!
Since Awakening, Zhen Jin had experienced several near-death escapes. Each time, the joy of survival had moved him body and soul. But this time was especially intense, as if every cell in his body were cheering.

With a thought from Zhen Jin, the scorpion tail stiffened straight, motionless as a bamboo pole.
With another thought, the scorpion tail curled into an S shape, then continuously rippled like a wave.

Zhen Jin touched the Scorpion Shell over his chest. It felt equally cold and hard, exactly the same as the sensation of touching
