Death and Resurrection

The Miniature Ferocious Beast's mung-bean eyes opened.

They rolled around a few times.

They immediately focused on Yi Chen.

It climbed up from the ground.

It wanted to approach Yi Chen, but seemed to recall that fatal kick from before and hesitated, not daring to move forward.

After wavering for a moment.

Squeak, squeak...

Strange sounds came from its mouth.

Hearing the noise, Yi Chen could not help opening his eyes and looking toward its source.

He was instantly somewhat surprised.

The hundreds of billions of viewers in the Live Stream Room also widened their eyes.

How had another Miniature Ferocious Beast appeared right after one had just been kicked to death?

That was not right!

Yi Chen looked toward the corner of the room.

There was only a smear of blood left there.

Was the one before him the same one from just now?

Yi Chen was baffled.

He could be certain that kick had absolutely killed this Miniature Ferocious Beast.

Though he had not created a leg technique cultivation method, that kick had contained quite a bit of his Spiritual Power.

At his current realm, a single kick was something a Miniature Ferocious Beast with such weak aura could never withstand.

Moreover, he had clearly seen its body distort beyond recognition, cold beyond any chance of being colder.

Could there really be Ferocious Beasts capable of returning from death?

"My God, what kind of freak Ferocious Beast is this? It revived?"

"It really did revive. I pulled up this Miniature Ferocious Beast's footage and data. Less than two seconds after Yi Chen kicked it flying, it had already stopped breathing."

"Moreover, multiple bones inside its body had shattered."

"But twenty seconds ago, its broken bones instantly recovered, and vitality returned to it as though it had been reborn."

"What a bizarre Miniature Ferocious Beast. It incubated for thousands of years, yet it only possesses the strength of a Level 1 Ferocious Beast. And yet, it has the terrifying abilities to absorb others' energy for its own use and even revive itself."

"How is that possible? Among the Myriad Races, there is the Undying Race. But the so-called Undying Race is not truly immortal; they can merely regenerate from a drop of blood. Once reduced to ashes, they still die completely."

"Even so, the Undying Race can be considered the race most favored by the laws of the universe. How could this Ferocious Beast also possess the ability to return from death?"

"Are there any biologists in the Live Stream Room? Come explain this."

"I'm a biologist, and I can't explain it. Right now, I only want to trade a hundred years of my life for it to appear in my laboratory, so I can study it for one day."

"The Undying Race can regenerate from a drop of blood because they gather all their energy within a single drop. Their racial talent is powerful self-healing, which is why they possess that ability."

"But even then, every regeneration from a drop of blood consumes energy, so they cannot truly keep regenerating without end."

"Yet according to the Scanner's readings, the energy inside this Miniature Ferocious Beast has not been depleted in the slightest. It is even more miraculous than the Undying Race."

The viewers in the Live Stream Room were all dumbstruck.

This Miniature Ferocious Beast had completely overturned humanity's understanding of Ferocious Beasts.

The biologists in particular had eyes gleaming with excitement.

If they could have this Miniature Ferocious Beast sent to them for study, they would be willing to pay any price.

The reason was that this Miniature Ferocious Beast completely defied the Law of Conservation of Energy. It was even more miraculous than the Undying Race, which was favored by the laws of the universe.

Squeak, squeak...

Inside the Wooden House.

Seeing Yi Chen looking over.

The Miniature Ferocious Beast immediately lay flat on the ground.

Its plump, round body trembled with all its might.

It seemed to be imitating the way low-level Ferocious Beasts and wild animals shivered when they encountered a powerful existence.

By the look of it, it was clearly expressing its submission to Yi Chen.

Squeak, squeak...

After trembling for more than ten seconds, it seemed to feel it had expressed its intentions sufficiently.

It jumped up again and moved closer to Yi Chen.

It climbed all the way onto the wooden bed, lay down beside Yi Chen, and began absorbing the Spiritual Power within Yi Chen's Qi Sea.

"It really is... brazen beyond measure!"

Yi Chen grabbed the Miniature Ferocious Beast and flung it aside.

At the same time, a Thorn Fruit appeared in his hand.

Whoosh!

A sharp whistling sound tore through the air.

The Thorn Fruit instantly caught up with the Miniature Ferocious Beast, its pointed tip piercing through its body.

It nailed the creature directly to the wooden wall.

The Miniature Ferocious Beast instantly breathed its last.

Yi Chen rose and inspected it.

After confirming that the Miniature Ferocious Beast no longer possessed any vitality, he did not pull out the Thorn Fruit or return to his cultivation.

Instead, he stood some distance away and watched quietly.

"Yi Chen is indeed Yi Chen. Even when an unparalleled beauty took the initiative to offer herself to him, he remained unmoved. Why would he go soft on a tiny cute pet? He kills it whenever he wants! Once it revives, he kills it again!"

"Yi Chen probably killed this Miniature Ferocious Beast this time to see whether it could revive once more."

"Quiet, quiet! I'm studying whether this little thing can keep reviving too."

"According to the Scanner footage from its last revival, it took exactly ten minutes. This time, we don't know whether it can revive again, and if it can, how long it will take!"

The viewers in the Live Stream Room were filled with curiosity.

For the first time in history, their gazes were not focused on Yi Chen.

All their attention had shifted to the Miniature Ferocious Beast nailed to the wooden wall, utterly devoid of life.

Time passed second by second.

Nine minutes, nine minutes and one second, nine minutes and two seconds...

Exactly ten minutes.

Suddenly, the Miniature Ferocious Beast's body trembled slightly.

Then, it opened its mung-bean eyes.

Pain surfaced in its eyes.

Only a few seconds later, it dimly breathed its last again.

The reason was that the Thorn Fruit was still piercing through its chest.

"It really can revive? Interesting!"

Yi Chen was intrigued.

He pulled out the Thorn Fruit and let the Miniature Ferocious Beast fall to the floor.

He waited for it to revive again.

This little thing was not very strong, yet it could revive time after time.

If he could subdue it, then when his strength reached a certain realm and he was qualified to study the mysteries of life, this little thing would undoubtedly be the finest reference and research subject.

"It really can revive again!"

"Impressive. It has returned from death twice in a row. Could it have Undying Race bloodline in it?"

"It would make more sense to say the Undying Race has its bloodline. Its ability is stronger than theirs."

"It revives once every ten minutes. The second revival still took ten minutes, without even a single extra second. Likewise, after reviving, its energy did not diminish in the slightest. Even the Undying Race would drool with envy over such an ability!"

"Yi Chen seems to have taken an interest in this little thing. It feels like he will not kill it a third time. He might actually take it in as a pet."

"As expected of Yi Chen. He does not love beauties, but Ferocious Beasts. He turns up his nose at an unparalleled beauty throwing herself into his arms, yet begins viewing a Ferocious Beast in a different light."

"That is only because this Ferocious Beast can return from death, and has done so twice in a row, that Yi Chen views it differently. If Gu Li, that unparalleled beauty, could also return from death twice, Yi Chen would definitely take her in too."

"Though he would probably take her in for research..."

"Without a doubt, Yi Chen wants to keep this Miniature Ferocious Beast for the same reason us biologists do: to study the mysteries of returning from death."

"If he truly succeeds in researching it... My God, I dare not imagine it. Perhaps our Human Race could also gain the same ability to return from death as the Undying Race!"

The viewers in the Live Stream Room clicked their tongues in secret.

Though they knew Yi Chen's current realm was still nowhere near the point where he could research and create this kind of cultivation method.

And though Yi Chen's realm had been steadily rising, it would surely have an upper limit.

Even so, even a one-in-a-hundred-million chance was enough to set their imaginations galloping wild.
