Live One Day, Lifespan +10 Years

Ma Xiaotao had already expended a great deal of energy, and she had continuously used her Soul Power to resist the corrosion. That was why she had passed out.

Although Ye Chen's acupuncture also had healing effects, it was naturally far inferior to a healing-type Soul Master when dealing with such extensive injuries.

Though Ye Chen had no healing methods, he could still temporarily alleviate her injuries.

The next moment, Ye Chen gathered cold air in his hand and spread it over Ma Xiaotao's wounds, rapidly freezing them.

Sure enough, as the Ultimate Ice froze everything over, the blood-red substance's corrosion of Ma Xiaotao's body came to an immediate halt.

Ye Chen reached out and pulled at it, peeling the frozen blood-red substance away from Ma Xiaotao's body.

The blood-red substance had nearly fused with Ma Xiaotao's skin, and every time he peeled some away, it tore off large patches of flesh.

However, the wounds were quickly covered in frost and did not bleed.

A Soul Emperor possessed a powerful physique. Losing some flesh was no great concern.

It was obvious at a glance that this blood-red substance was the evil Soul Master's handiwork.

"Sure enough, every evil Soul Master is powerful. One careless mistake and you could fall for their tricks. No wonder Shrek Academy's mortality rate is so high..." Ye Chen said helplessly.

Even Ma Xiaotao could fall victim to it if she was careless.

Only after Ye Chen had cleared away all the blood-red substance on Ma Xiaotao's back did he finally let out a breath of relief.

As long as her wounds did not continue worsening, it would be fine.

Then Ye Chen thought of something else and took out a small piece of Whale Rubber, stuffing it into Ma Xiaotao's mouth.

Whale Rubber had many uses. It could strengthen one's physique and quickly replenish the body's energy, making it greatly beneficial for recovery from injuries.

Of course, Ye Chen did not dare let Ma Xiaotao eat too much, lest something unexpected happen...

Ye Chen checked Ma Xiaotao's pulse. Only after confirming that her blood and vital energy were gradually stabilizing and recovering did he finally feel at ease.

This meant Ma Xiaotao had no serious internal injuries. As long as her external wounds were healed afterward, she would recover.

"Xiao Chen, are you all right?!"

"Junior, how is Xiaotao?"

At that moment, Zhang Lexuan and Ling Luochen arrived as well.

Seeing the unconscious Ma Xiaotao, both of them looked worried.

"It's fine. Sister Xiaotao is injured, but I froze her wounds with ice. She needs a healing-type Soul Master now." Ye Chen let out a breath before speaking.

"Let's go back to the city. There's a Shrek Academy Inspection Team in the city, and every Inspection Team outpost is equipped with healing-type Soul Masters."

Zhang Lexuan hurriedly said.

"Okay."

The three nodded.

Ye Chen and Zhang Lexuan left first.

Ling Luochen stayed behind to clean up the battlefield, checking for any remaining remnants while also searching for victims. Saving even one more person was worthwhile.

In a courtyard in Bai Shi City, the door in the middle opened, and a beautiful young woman slowly stepped out.

"How is she? Is Sister Xiaotao all right?" Ye Chen hurriedly asked.

"Mm, they're only external injuries, nothing serious. But my Soul Power is limited, so it will take quite some time to treat her."

The beautiful young woman gave Ye Chen an apologetic smile.

This was only a small Shrek Academy Inspection Team branch, and she was merely a Soul Elder. Treating a Soul Emperor was still extremely taxing for her.

"Thank you for your trouble."

Hearing that, Ye Chen relaxed slightly.

Time was not a problem. The mission was already complete, and they had plenty of time.

"It should be us thanking you. Thank you for eliminating the evil Soul Masters and preserving Bai Shi City's peace." The young woman gave Ye Chen and the others a graceful bow, her eyes filled with gratitude.

That group of evil Soul Masters had been terrorizing the areas around Bai Shi City, causing countless infants to lose their lives and leaving everyone fearful.

Now that they had finally been eliminated, Bai Shi City could at last know peace.

And it was all thanks to these Shrek Academy students.

If not for them, by the time the Empire's experts arrived a few months later, all the infants of Bai Shi City might have been taken away.

From late night until dawn, Ma Xiaotao's external injuries were finally mostly healed. However, because she had lost too much flesh, she still needed some time to recover fully.

A Soul Emperor's physique was powerful. Her remaining injuries could only be considered superficial wounds and were nothing serious.

However, Ma Xiaotao had expended too much energy and was still asleep, sleeping soundly...

Zhang Lexuan had already left, while Ye Chen remained by Ma Xiaotao's side.

"Sister Xiaotao, you really need to be more careful in battle from now on. You can't be so reckless."

Ye Chen sat beside Ma Xiaotao, playing with her soft little hand as he muttered quietly.

He was still not strong enough. He could not protect Ma Xiaotao.

If his strength improved further, he would be able to fight alongside Ma Xiaotao in the future. Then he could keep an eye on her and stop her from going too crazy in battle.

With Ma Xiaotao's strength, she could absolutely have crushed that Soul King evil Soul Master.

Moreover, Ma Xiaotao had long-range attack methods. Though the enemy's combat strength was formidable, he was ultimately only a Soul King. Ma Xiaotao could have easily worn him down to death.

Unfortunately, Ma Xiaotao had been blinded by rage and acted too rashly. In order to kill him, she chose to engage him in close combat, which was why she ended up in such a miserable state.

The most obvious traits of evil Soul Masters were their destructive power and their many methods of dragging others down with them...

Ma Xiaotao definitely knew that, but she still...

Perhaps that was simply her nature, Ye Chen sighed inwardly.

It was precisely because of that personality that she was Ma Xiaotao, and why he liked her.

If Ma Xiaotao became overly cautious and clever, then she would no longer be Ma Xiaotao...

Her silly side was what made her adorable.

"System, check in."

Seeing that Ma Xiaotao was still not awake, Ye Chen simply checked in to see whether he could obtain some healing-type ability in this treatment room.

Check-in successful. Reward: "Eternal Seed x1" Eternal Seed: Your vitality is greatly enhanced. Gain 10 years of lifespan every day, stacking infinitely. You may consume lifespan to condense "Seed of Life," which possesses powerful healing abilities. It can also increase lifespan, reverse aging, and restore youth...

"Eh, it really is a healing ability, and it even has the effects of a Youthful Appearance Pill." Ye Chen's eyes lit up when he saw this reward.

Put simply, he could consume his own lifespan to rapidly heal the injuries of himself and others.

If there were no injuries, then it was equivalent to a Youthful Appearance Pill. It could increase the user's lifespan, and increasing one's lifespan naturally meant restoring the body to youth, reversing aging, and returning to one's prime.

If Ye Chen consumed it himself, the lifespan conversion rate was 100%, allowing him to absorb it completely.

If someone else consumed it, the lifespan conversion rate should be lower, perhaps only around ninety percent. But that was still very good. Rounding it up, it was practically one hundred percent.

Take one, become one year younger.

If this pill were put up for auction, countless aged and frail wealthy ladies would surely bankrupt themselves competing for it!!!

Of course, ordinary wealthy ladies would definitely not get it, because this pill was also useful to Soul Masters.

If those old monsters who had lived for a hundred years learned about it, they would certainly come out to fight over it.

Perhaps living a few more years would allow them to break through their bottlenecks once again...

This pill was far too precious. Ye Chen definitely had to be careful and only use it on his own people. He absolutely could not let it leak out.

At this moment, Ye Chen was basically a super healer, though it was a little "life-expensive."

Fortunately, this talent came with a "health regeneration" function. He could accumulate ten years of lifespan every day, which was practically the equivalent of being granted "immortality." It was quite a bargain.

With a thought from Ye Chen, a green bead the size of a grain of rice instantly appeared in his hand.

The bead was soft like a candy pellet. Though it was tiny, it contained rich vitality.

Ye Chen had condensed it by consuming one year of his lifespan. He did not know how effective it would be.

Ye Chen absorbed the bead back into his body, and the lifespan instantly returned. There was no loss at all.

Ye Chen glanced at Ma Xiaotao and decided to use it after she woke up. That way, he could better understand the Seed of Life's healing effects.
