When Long Zhanye wakes up again.
The first thing he felt was an indescribable sluggishness and heaviness, coming from the right half of his body.
He tried to move his fingers, but found that his entire right arm no longer seemed to belong to him, and he had no feeling at all.
Immediately afterwards.
A sharp pain, as if coming from deep within the bone marrow, coursed through his entire arm, causing him to groan.
He struggled to sit up and looked down at his right arm.
The sight in front of him made his pupils shrink suddenly and his breathing was suffocated!
The young right arm that originally belonged to him is now... gone!
Instead.
It's an old arm with a different color, dry skin, and sagging muscles!
This arm was connected with his own young body and seemed out of place.
The connecting line Entanglement is covered with a thick white bandage soaked in medicinal smell, and there seems to be a precise fixing device under the bandage.
"What... what's going on?!" Long Zhanye felt a turmoil in his heart, raised his head suddenly, and looked around.
A familiar secret room.
The air was filled with the strange smell of strong herbs and blood.
With a "squeak" sound, the door of the secret room was pushed open.
Zhua Yun pushed a simple wooden wheelchair and walked in slowly.
Sitting in the wheelchair was Old Man Gu, whose face was as pale as paper and whose breath was extremely weak.
Saw Long Zhanye wake up.
There was not much joy on Zhua Yun's face, but rather an indescribable heaviness and... complexity.
He stopped the wheelchair, looked at Long Zhanye, and said in a dry voice:
"Junior brother... congratulations... on getting...Second Martial Soul."
Second Martial Soul?!
Long Zhanye was stunned for a moment, his eyes fell on the unfamiliar right arm again, and then he turned sharply to Old Man Gu in the wheelchair.
His eyes scanned Old Man Gu carefully.
When I saw Old Man Gu's original right arm that was different from ordinary people, it was called "Qilin Arm".
At this moment, only the empty sleeves were left, and the blood could still be vaguely seen on the fabric on the edge of the cuffs...
Grafting?! Body Martial Soul Grafting Technique?!
His brain buzzed and he understood instantly!
Old Man Gu The "Qilin Arm" that contains his Martial Soul was... transplanted to his body?!
"Elder Gu! You... you are...!" Long Zhanye felt an indescribable sadness in his heart.
Still shocked and guilty, he struggled to get out of bed and see Old Man Gu's injuries.
"Don't move!" Old Man Gu weakly raised his remaining left hand and motioned for him to lie down.
His voice was hoarse and almost unrecognizable, his face was colorless, and his lips were chapped.
But those cloudy old eyes held a hint of joy and relief.
"Zhanye, this... is what Zhua Yun mentioned to you...Body Martial Soul Grafting Technique."
"It's also... the secret of 'fusion' in Nine Body Secrets..."
Old Man Gu said intermittently, taking a breath every time he said a few words.
He paused and his eyes fell on Long Zhanye's unfamiliar right arm.
He looked at Long Zhanye with complicated eyes and said, "Zhua Yun... I'm not lying to you... look at... your own right arm..."
Long Zhanye lowered his head and looked at that old arm.
Feeling the faint Soul Power that is incompatible with me, I feel mixed feelings in my heart.
"Elder Gu... Why is this? Why are you doing this?!"
Long Zhanye's voice was a little excited. He couldn't understand why Old Man Gu would do this for him!
Cutting off an arm and transplanting Martial Soul and cultivation is too costly!
Old Man Gu took a few breaths, forced out a very weak smile, and slowly explained:
"You were... seriously injured twice... I... have already figured it out."
"Now, I have only two disciples, Zhua Yun and you."
"Your senior brother Zhua Yun... although his talent is great, is limited by Martial Soul and opportunities... I'm afraid... it will be difficult to achieve the title of Douluo in this life..."
"It's even harder to really promote 'Nine Body Secrets'..."
"And you... are the perfect choice."
"Heavenly Eye Double Pupil, Chaos Attribute,... your potential... is far beyond my imagination."
"But..."
Old Man Gu's voice became sad. "Your fate... is too rough."
"Enemies are everywhere, I am pregnant with Spirit Bone, and... I am involved with that 'god'... I'm afraid I haven't really grown up yet..."
"You will be strangled in the cradle by evil people..."
"So... as a teacher... I will give you a blessing today..."
His eyes became extremely soft, looking at Long Zhanye as if he were looking at a masterpiece that he had devoted his whole life to.
"Help your practice before... the title Douluo be... unimpeded!"
"My 'Qilin Arm'...Soul Power, which I have condensed two hundred years of hard work... you slowly understand... slowly use it..."
"Use it completely for your own use..."
"Even if God's will plays tricks on people... even if you... are the enemy of the whole world..."
"I... also want you to use another method... to become... the top strong man on this continent..."
The words are not finished yet.
Old Man Gu suddenly coughed violently, and then spit out a large mouthful of dark red blood with a "wow" sound.
His face instantly turned gray, and his breath was as weak as a candle in the wind, which might be extinguished at any time.
"Master!" Zhua Yun and Long Zhanye exclaimed at the same time.
Old Man Gu waved his hand with difficulty, using up his last bit of strength.
He said to Zhua Yun, "Zhua Yun... send... send me back... rest..."
"Yes, Master!" Zhua Yun's eyes were red, holding back his grief.
He quickly pushed up the wheelchair and carefully and as quickly as possible, sent Old Man Gu back to the room next door.
In the secret room.
Only Long Zhanye was left, sitting on the bed.
He looked at his right arm, Old Man Gu's almost "last words" just now echoed in his mind, and he felt complicated and unspeakable.
At this moment, a calm and familiar voice sounded behind him, "Brother."
Long Zhanye turned around suddenly and saw his brother who had appeared at the door at an unknown time!
Obviously.
Long Zhantian also arrived just now and witnessed the shocking scene just now.
Long Zhantian stepped forward and patted his brother on the shoulder, his eyes full of shock, "Brother."
"Don't be sad, and don't blame yourself too much. Now it's done, things have happened. Elder Gu..."
"He made his own choice. What you have to do now is not to wallow in guilt, but to become stronger!"
"Only when you become truly strong and pass on 'Nine Body Secrets' will be the greatest comfort and reward for his old man!"
Long Zhanye Looking at his brother's firm eyes, the confusion and pain in his heart seemed to find some support.
He nodded heavily and his eyes became firm again.
