Bearing Fruit

At the beginning, Beibei was nervous when he saw Lei Lin covered in electric light, nearly launching an attack.

It was only after confirming that Lei Lin was helping his boss recover that he relaxed, climbing onto Linley's shoulder and squeaking at Lei Lin.

Lei Lin could not understand the meaning of Beibei's squeaks and ignored him, focusing intently on helping Linley recover from his injuries.

At the same time, he felt a sense of wonder at the magic of this world!

As a subsidiary universe of the Coiling Dragon Universe, the laws here were incomplete, with only the seven elemental laws and four edicts available for comprehension.

Among the laws, only the water and light elements possessed healing capabilities, at least until one became a deity.

However, Lei Lin had comprehended the laws directly through his Gu Insect. As his understanding deepened, he gradually realized that while the seven laws each had their own strengths, they also had their own limitations.

But in essence, they were all omnipotent!

This could be glimpsed from the fact that after becoming a deity, one could regenerate any organ or tissue of the body by consuming divine power.

To use an inappropriate analogy, it was much like the electrotherapy of his past life; lightning could also be used for healing!

Based on the micro-currents within the human body, and combining them with battle qi, magic power, and the knowledge from his past life, Lei Lin had developed his own method of treatment—Electrotherapy.

By injecting elemental energy to stimulate cellular vitality, he could achieve the goal of rapid recovery from injuries.

The effect was immediate, and it was particularly significant for external wounds.

Although theoretically, excessive use could shorten one's lifespan, once one reached the Saint Realm, lifespan became infinite, so such a minor drawback was of no consequence.

Old Delin, watching from the side, looked at Lei Lin's electrotherapy with a hint of astonishment. After all, standard healing methods usually involved light, water, or life magic; he had truly never seen someone use lightning magic, which was typically suited for attack and speed, to heal!

Even though he had once been a Saint Realm magus!

Once Linley's condition stabilized, Lei Lin finally breathed a sigh of relief. After all, under the butterfly effect, he was genuinely worried that Linley, this future powerhouse, might meet with an accident, even if there was only the slightest possibility.

Under Lei Lin's treatment, Linley, now out of danger, slowly opened his eyes and murmured, "Am I... still... alive..."

Beibei darted onto Linley's shoulder and said, "Squeak squeak squeak! (Boss, you almost died just now. Luckily Lei Lin was nearby and treated you, or you wouldn't have made it out of danger!)"

"Squeak! (Wuu wuu wuu, Boss, I thought you were going to die, wuu wuu wuu!)"

Linley felt sore and weak all over, his throat incredibly parched. Just as he was about to comfort Beibei, Lei Lin poured more medicine into his mouth, saying, "Don't talk. My treatment method is quite aggressive; it would be fine if you had battle qi."

"Without battle qi, you would normally be weak for a day or two. The fact that you could wake up directly shows your physical constitution is truly excellent!"

"But don't talk anymore. Get some good sleep and wait until your body has fully recovered."

Feeling his body improve significantly as the medicine went down, Linley said, "Lei Lin... brother, I usually... train my body well..."

The next day, Linley, his face still somewhat pale, looked at Nina's corpse in silent indifference.

Watching Linley's somber expression, Lei Lin teased, "What's wrong? Did you take a liking to this little girl?"

"Come to think of it, if her head were still intact, she would probably have been quite pretty!"

Hearing Lei Lin's teasing, an inexplicable emotion stirred in Linley's heart. He didn't know what to say, but the negative emotions dissipated somewhat.

"Let's go. I'll escort you out of the mountain range first. Once your injuries are completely healed, you can come back to train!"

Linley shook his head at this and said, "No, Brother Lei Lin, I still intend to continue training in the mountain range!"

A look of feigned confusion appeared on Lei Lin's face as he pointed to the still-bleeding wound on Linley's abdomen. "You're in this state, and you still want to continue training?"

Linley nodded and said, "Brother Lei Lin, I am a magus. I rely primarily on magic for combat."

"Injuries to my body don't mean much to me!"

"Especially after you treated me, Brother Lei Lin. Although I need some time to fully recover, it no longer hinders my spellcasting!"

"Therefore, I still want to continue training!"

With such heavy injuries, any normal adventurer would certainly plan to head back.

However, for Linley, this really didn't have much of an impact, because for him, Beibei was the primary combat force. Moreover, his current focus was on magic cultivation; while the wound on his abdomen affected him, it did not truly hinder his spellcasting.

Thus, he still wanted to continue training!

This was also the choice of the strong!

After watching Linley silently for a moment, Lei Lin laughed. "Interesting. How about we train together for a while? I want to see how you continue your training."

"But I'll give you a warning: if you encounter a life-or-death crisis during the upcoming training, I will not step in to help!"

Hearing this, how could Linley not know that Lei Lin was worried about his injuries and intended to protect him for a while longer? He said from the bottom of his heart, "Thank you, Brother Lei Lin!"

In the days that followed, Lei Lin followed by Linley's side, silently training in the Magic Beast Mountain Range.

Just as he had said, he basically never took action, only chatting and joking with Linley when there was nothing to do, and disappearing without a trace whenever a situation arose.

Even after Linley's injuries had completely healed, Lei Lin did not leave, as if the two had grown accustomed to the days of training together in the Magic Beast Mountain Range.

It wasn't until the two arrived at a valley filled with mist that Lei Lin frowned slightly and used Electromagnetic Induction to probe the surrounding situation.

When he discovered that the area was teeming with magic beasts of at least the sixth or seventh rank, he immediately confirmed that this must be the Misty Valley!

"Linley, be careful. Something is wrong here!"

Linley tensed his body immediately upon hearing this, scanning his surroundings. During the time he had spent with Lei Lin, he had become familiar with Lei Lin's situation and knew that Lei Lin's strength was terrifyingly powerful.

If Lei Lin could be this solemn, it meant the surroundings were likely very dangerous!

"Brother Lei Lin, is it dangerous here? Is it a level eight Magic Beast?!"

Linley had seen with his own eyes Lei Lin killing level seven Magic Beasts; he didn't even take level seven Magic Beasts seriously, not even multiple level seven Magic Beasts at once!

Therefore, his first thought was that a level eight Magic Beast had appeared nearby!

Lei Lin shook his head and said, "No, there are no level eight Magic Beasts here, it's just that..."

Linley remained vigilant of his surroundings: "Just that what?"

Before Lei Lin could answer, Beibei was already squeaking incessantly on Linley's shoulder.

Squeak squeak~ (Boss, there are so many complex Magic Beast auras around here, and these Magic Beasts aren't weak either!)
