The Gap in Vitality

The old butler's tone was very polite.

Listening to the old butler, Chen Zhou nodded, then took Na'er and sat in the back row of the vehicle.

The car drove slowly, and the atmosphere along the way was somewhat quiet.

Xie Xie wanted to say something, but in this environment, he didn't know what he should say.

On the other side, the old butler sat there in silence, not saying a single word.

The Xie Family residence was not too far from the East Sea Primary Academy.

As a top-tier family, although their home was located on the edge of the city, it was a luxurious villa.

The living environment was also much more affluent.

As the vehicle drove into the massive villa complex, two security guards in suits slowly walked forward to open the doors.

Chen Zhou stepped out of the car and swept a glance at the magnificent decorations, though he didn't pay them much mind.

After all, no matter how good or luxurious the decorations here were, their foundation still couldn't compare to the Spirit Pagoda.

The estate covered a large area, but compared to the Spirit Pagoda, there was still a gap, not to mention the number of floors and the sheer grandeur of the structure.

Seeing the calm and indifferent look on Chen Zhou's face, the old butler felt a flash of surprise.

After all, the level of luxury in their villa was definitely second to none in East Sea City.

Although he knew the young man before him held a noble status, he hadn't expected him to be so unimpressed.

The old butler glanced at Xie Xie, then led Chen Zhou inside first.

Chen Zhou did not hesitate and followed him in.

Inside, there was a huge crystal sphere, and the colors reflecting upon it at this moment made it look quite magnificent.

However, Xie Xie had no desire to introduce these useless things right now.

He led Chen Zhou into the house without stopping, heading straight to a massive master bedroom on the second floor.

As the door opened, a woman with a pale complexion lay on the bed.

Her face was pale to the extreme, but compared to the desperate expression she had worn before, her demeanor had eased significantly.

Seeing Xie Xie walk in, she instinctively tried to sit up.

But as she braced herself with her arms, she failed to rise and instead sank back down.

Seeing this, Xie Xie rushed over and gently propped a pillow behind his mother to help her sit up.

"Is this Chen Zhou?"

"Thank you, thank you for saving my life last time."

"I'm afraid I'll have to trouble you again this time," Xie Mother said, a gentle smile appearing on her pale face.

Chen Zhou glanced at the woman but didn't say anything.

As he raised his palm, a dense flow of water appeared in his hand, then slowly turned a pale green.

Watching this pale green stream, a glimmer of hope appeared on Xie Xie's face.

As Chen Zhou pressed the water into the woman's body, her originally pale complexion began to recover, gradually turning rosy.

The woman instinctively moved her arms; the sharp pain that had previously wracked her entire body had vanished without a trace.

Although this effect would last at most a day or two before fading, this infusion of vitality could stabilize her condition and begin to continuously repair the injuries within her body.

Watching his mother's complexion shift from pale to rosy, Xie Xie's eyes instantly turned red.

Since last year, his mother's illness had grown increasingly severe.

His father was extremely busy, and he rarely had time to see him.

Because of this, Xie Xie had been under immense pressure during this period.

It was precisely for this reason that Xie Xie had become the person he was after Xie Mother's death in the original timeline.

Seeing the tears on Xie Xie's face, Xie Mother wiped the corners of his eyes with pity.

"Alright, Mom is fine."

"This vitality is a great help to my body; it won't take long for me to recover."

"Mm-hmm, Mom, you'll definitely be fine. I'll go call the doctor over right now."

Xie Xie started to stand up, but before he could even walk out, the doctor had already hurried over.

He took out an instrument, gently placed it on Xie Mother's pulse, and began his examination.

At the same time, a woman following behind him slightly raised her hand.

In her palm was a magical flower with nine petals.

She flicked the flower gently, and the nine petals floated around Xie Mother, helping to stabilize her injuries and concentrate the vitality within her body.

Chen Zhou glanced at the woman.

She was a four-ring Soul Ancestor.

However, the ability the other party displayed at this moment, along with the intensity of their life energy, was completely incomparable to Chen Zhou's own vitality.

[There is no need to dwell on this. At your current stage, your grasp of the Primordial Sea is still too shallow, so your vitality is only on par with the life force of this planet.]

[In the later stages, if you can truly master the complete Primordial Sea, your strength will increase significantly, and your command over the powers of creation and destruction will improve greatly.]

Neuvillette's voice resonated calmly from within Chen Zhou's body.

Listening to his teacher's words, Chen Zhou froze for a brief moment before nodding.

He was not worried about that; he only hoped that after his martial soul evolved a few times, the Primordial Dragon would be stronger than the Golden Dragon King or the Silver Dragon King.

Otherwise, even if he mastered the powers of life and destruction, if his martial soul remained suppressed by the Golden Dragon King and the Silver Dragon King, he would still be at a disadvantage in the current meta.

Bloodlines in this world were just like that, especially dragon bloodlines.

If you were strong, you were strong. Even if there was a gap between two parties, as long as the intensity of the dragon bloodline was sufficient, one could suppress beings of the same level or even those slightly stronger than oneself.

This period of meta-weakness was almost unavoidable.

Of course, even if dragons were nerfed severely, they were still considered top-tier martial souls throughout the entire grand version.

Watching Xie Xie reunite with his mother, Chen Zhou did not linger.

After a brief farewell to the butler, he prepared to return to the Spirit Pagoda.

"Young Master Chen Zhou, why not stay for a meal? It would allow us to fulfill our duties as hosts."

"If not for you, my mistress might not have made it through this month."

"You saved my mistress's life; you are a benefactor to the Xie Family."

The middle-aged butler's voice was very polite, his tone still filled with respect, yet Chen Zhou merely swept a cold glance at him.

"Unnecessary. Do you think that with my status, I need to accept favors from your Xie Family?"

"What help could your Xie Family's gratitude possibly offer me?"

"Don't think I can't see through your little schemes."

"When Xie Xie was in front of me earlier, I couldn't be bothered to speak of it."

"Now, I am merely giving you a warning. If you truly disgust me, I wouldn't mind utilizing the power of the Spirit Pagoda to find a way to wipe you out."

Chen Zhou's gaze bore directly into the old butler.

At this moment, the young man's eyes were filled with such indifference and haughtiness that the old butler was caught off guard.

His face flushed, and he wanted to open his mouth to retort, but he heard Chen Zhou's voice drift toward him.

"Do you know? My true name is not actually Chen Zhou, but Qiangu Qingzhou."

"Do you understand what this name represents?"
