Heaven-Defying Healing Ability

Heaven-defying Healing Ability

Flames flickered, illuminating everything around them with a light that carried no heat.

Gu Yue, who had been on the verge of pressing the emergency escape button, couldn't help but pause.

What was Qiangu Wuji feeling right now?

The moment he was enveloped by the flames, it felt as if he had arrived at a secluded spring. Under the nourishment of these waters, the exhaustion in his body was fading at a rapid pace.

Not only that, but these flames also possessed a potent pain-relieving effect; the moment they appeared, the areas that had previously been scorched were essentially soothed.

"Huh, what is this?"

Qiangu Wuji raised his hand to take a look and discovered that the flames covering the wounds on his palms were burning significantly more intensely.

However, he soon discovered a difference: although these flames were burning more fiercely, under their searing heat, the wounds on his body were recovering at a speed visible to the naked eye.

While it wasn't an instantaneous recovery, the speed was monstrous enough!

"As expected, the healing effect of these flames is truly formidable!"

Qiangu Wuji looked at the raging fire burning on his body and suddenly became confident in his ability to defeat these creatures.

With these flames, it was equivalent to carrying a spring with him; even if he couldn't beat you, he could simply wear you down until you died!

Thinking of this, he confidently said to Gu Yue.

"Gu Yue, you don't need to press the escape button. We don't have to run. Leave these guys to me from now on!"

Gu Yue didn't speak, only watching Qiangu Wuji quietly, her dark brows knitted into a knot.

Although separated by the flames, she could still discern the state of Qiangu Wuji's body at this moment.

Looking at him now, completely unscathed, how could one tell he had just fought a major battle?

"Phoenix True Fire, so that's what it is. He really is..."

She was all too familiar with this ability; this power of rebirth through fire had once caused even her, before she had been split in two, a great deal of trouble.

Being able to use this ability, there was no doubt that what Qiangu Wuji had inherited was the true True Phoenix Bloodline.

But why?

Why would a True Phoenix Bloodline appear in a human?

Gu Yue's mood was heavy. The ability Qiangu Wuji was displaying now made her, as the Silver Dragon King, feel threatened.

Qiangu Wuji naturally didn't know what Gu Yue was thinking. After gaining a rough understanding of the Phoenix True Fire, he became even more confident.

The fighting style he chose afterward became even more reckless than before, opting entirely for trading injuries for injuries.

For instance, when one of the Flame Demon Lions jumped up to pounce on him, he could have easily dodged it, but he chose not to. Instead, he allowed it to bite through his shoulder while he plunged his dagger into the throat of the soul beast.

This desperate, "dare-to-die" fighting style not only left the Spirit Pagoda staff watching the scene dumbfounded, but even these soul beasts, known for their ferocity, were visibly intimidated.

This was just too ruthless!

Inside the Spirit Pagoda.

The staff member's mouth was wide open, enough to fit an egg inside.

"Is this really a six-year-old child? Why do I feel like he's even more ruthless than those veterans who have been on the battlefield?"

Hearing this, the people around them swallowed hard, clearly agreeing with this assessment.

Although they had followed Leng Yaozhu's instructions to lower the pain perception of the two when they entered, that didn't mean there was no pain at all. Being pinned to the ground and mauled—not to mention the level of pain, the sheer sense of helplessness was not something a child could handle.

Yet, Qiangu Wuji, a child who looked as pretty as a little girl in their eyes, was facing a Flame Demon Lion nearly ten times his size. Not only did he show no panic, but he had actually frightened his opponent instead.

One could only ask, is this really a six-year-old child?

"Your Excellency, should we shut down the Spirit Ascension Platform now?"

After watching for a while longer, seeing that Qiangu Wuji not only showed no signs of fatigue but was actually fighting more valiantly as he went on, the staff member couldn't help but turn to ask Leng Yaozhu behind him.

Upon hearing this, Leng Yaozhu was also at a loss. Logically, seeing him suffer such heavy injuries, she would have forced an end to the session without a second thought.

But the current situation was that although Qiangu Wuji was injured, he could heal himself immediately. Under these circumstances, there was no danger to his life.

There wasn't even a risk of serious injury.

This left her with very complex feelings. On one hand, she marveled at the monstrous talent of her son, who even possessed the True Phoenix Bloodline; on the other hand, as a mother, her heart ached to see her most precious son in such a miserable state.

Sigh!

After a long while, she sighed and waved her hand, saying.

"Forget it, continue. This child should know his own limits."

Leng Yaozhu didn't like seeing her precious son in such a miserable state, but she understood one truth: a fledgling bird must eventually spread its wings and fly; it cannot live under the wings of others forever.

Seeing her say this, the staff nodded one after another and began to watch the screen in front of them even more intently.

In the footage, Qiangu Wuji was currently pouncing on a Flame Demon Lion, biting its throat fiercely. Bright red blood sprayed from the throat, staining his pretty little face.

The price for doing so was naturally heavy; in order to pull him off, the Flame Demon Lion drove a claw directly into his abdomen. Yet, despite this, Qiangu Wuji clung on like sticky candy, refusing to let go no matter what.

This ferocious fighting style made the staff on-site twitch their lips.

Was this even a person? This was clearly a little wild beast!

Did he not even know what pain was?

In fact, Qiangu Wuji truly did not feel pain. Whether it was due to adrenaline or the effects of the flames, when he chose this life-risking fighting style, he simply could not feel the pain of the attacks these creatures landed on him.

This was also the reason he dared to engage in such reckless hand-to-hand combat with these guys.

"Hoo~"

After confirming that the soul beast beneath him had completely stopped moving, Qiangu Wuji finally released his bite and stood up from its body.

He spat a mouthful of bloody foam onto the ground and then scanned his surroundings. The few remaining Flame Demon Lions on the scene whimpered and tucked their tails, retreating a few steps after being swept by his gaze.

Clearly, they were afraid!

They had been terrified by this human's ferocity!

"What, you're not fighting anymore?"

Qiangu Wuji wiped the blood from his face with disgust, feeling a bit nauseated.

He then looked toward the Lion King in the distance.

The Lion King was glanced at by him and immediately let out a whimper, turned around, and ran.

It fled!

A dignified thousand-year soul beast, scared off by a one-ring soul master!

Qiangu Wuji was stunned.

What is going on? He hadn't even tested his limits yet, and it already chickened out?

No, he couldn't let this guy just escape like that.

Thinking of this, he took a step forward, intending to give chase.

However, the moment he took that step, his body lurched, and he nearly fell forward.

"Hm? What's going on?"

Qiangu Wuji widened his eyes, and at this moment, he discovered that the world before him was gradually darkening.

In the hazy darkness, large patches of stars appeared before his eyes.

This is...?

He was puzzled, but he had no time to think, because in the next second, his body fell straight forward.

But just as he was about to hit the ground, a soft embrace caught him. He looked up and vaguely met a pair of eyes filled with complex emotions.

"Gu Yue..."

Then, everything went black, and he fainted.
