Chapter 658 - 202: The Return of the Golden Armor
Chapter 202: Return of the Golden Armor (6000)
When Chen Yan returned to the Brotherhood’s base that day, he stayed indoors, ate a quick meal, and went back to his room to rest.
After consuming a Nourishing God Pill he bought, he slept soundly that night, feeling as if he had never slept so comfortably in his life.
Upon waking, he found his clothes soaked in sweat, feeling refreshed, with his body experiencing a sense of transparency from the inside out.
The sensation of lightness, as if he could float at any moment, made Chen Yan feel that the purchase of the Nourishing God Pill was totally worth it!
This elixir, unknowingly, slowly nourished the hidden threats posed by his recent sharpening of his Primordial Spirit.
But after getting out of bed, Chen Yan glanced around the room and suddenly froze.
"Big White?"
The big cat had originally been sleeping soundly by his bedside — such a large creature!
And now, it was nowhere to be seen?
Anxiety filled Chen Yan’s heart, and he immediately jumped up from bed, looking around the room, finding the door tightly locked and unopened.
Then...
Suddenly, a hint of white appeared from under the bed, slowly crawling out like a little snowball-like kitten.
Chen Yan paused for a moment but soon recognized it.
The appearance was unmistakably that of Big White, but its size had shrunk considerably.
At this moment, Big White resembled a kitten, small enough to be lifted with one hand.
Chen Yan scrutinized it, hesitated, then reached out to pick it up, examining it doubtfully: "Is it you? What kind of Divine Technique allows you to shrink?"
Big White opened its eyes to glance at Chen Yan, shook its head, and let out a soft "meow" sound.
Originally, Big White’s mighty roar was imposing and majestic.
But now, it sounded more like a delicate meow of a kitten.

Holding Big White, Chen Yan exited the room and headed to the front hall. The hall had fewer people in the morning; even Baldie 39 was absent. After speaking with Ruyi, he learned that Baldie 39 was probably stimulated by Chen Yan’s "eighty-nine heads" turnover yesterday.
This morning, he gathered several brothers from the Brotherhood, packed up, and went out hunting.
He took over a dozen brothers with him and vowed not to return without a hundred heads!
After Ruyi told him, Chen Yan couldn’t help but freeze for a moment, but soon, Ruyi noticed the small Big White in his arms and smiled: "Oh, it finally regained some mana."
Regained mana?
Chen Yan’s heart moved.
Ruyi laughed: "Outside the pass, Primordial Qi is scarce; even within the Safe Zone, it’s very limited. Your pet has long been lingering around the Snowfield or Evil Land Mountain — those regions are devoid of Primordial Qi. Even for a Spiritual Immortal Beast, no matter how good its foundation is, staying in such an area for long will exhaust its Primordial Qi.
Returning to our Snow Cliff Pass, where Primordial Qi exists, allows it to naturally recover and cultivate. The past few days, I’ve seen it listless, sleeping most of the time, figuring it’s likely still in recovery. Seeing it shrink today, I understand it has regained some Primordial Qi. It can now perform its Divine Technique."
Chen Yan awakened!
That’s right, since Big White is a "Spiritual Immortal Beast," it wouldn’t simply rely on physical combat like ordinary beasts; naturally, it possesses some extraordinary abilities.
Having lingered at Evil Land Mountain for long, with its Primordial Qi and mana unrestored, it could only fight like a Mortal Beast.
But... aside from shrinking its size, who knows what other Divine Techniques it might have? That’s something he would need to slowly uncover.
Chen Yan then handed Big White over to Ruyi for caretaking—it’s much easier to care for now that it’s smaller.
But its appetite remained large, leaving Chen Yan puzzled about where all the food consumed was going in its tiny body.
Chen Yan then left once more, heading to the Practice Workshop within Snow Cliff Pass.
He spent money to rent a Grade A training room for five days.
Once inside, he expertly waited for the Primordial Qi Array to activate, allowing the room to fill with Primordial Qi, entering a state of training and circulating Primordial Qi.
Within five days, Chen Yan remained inside the Practice Workshop, eating one Fasting Pill whenever hungry. He also consumed a Nourishing God Pill daily.
Over five days, circulating his energy, he restored his Primordial Qi state to its peak, daily infusing large amounts of Primordial Qi into the ring.
The ring remained a bottomless pit as ever, with daily infusions seeming endless.
After five days, Chen Yan exited the Grade A training room, escorted out by the shopkeeper of the Practice Workshop.
As he was about to leave, he saw someone walk in at the entrance.
The figure was tall and erect like a javelin, none other than Luo Shang, Hundred Riders General of the Thunder Cavalry known for "eating inside and climbing outside."
Luo Shang paused upon seeing Chen Yan and then nodded toward him.
Although Chen Yan had heard of this man’s disgraceful past from Baldie 39, he had no personal grudge against him, so he nodded back lightly as a greeting.
As Chen Yan was about to leave, Luo Shang suddenly spoke.
"Wang Chuyi."
"Hmm?"
"Please hold on," Luo Shang said, his eyes flickering with hesitation, finally approaching lowly, "May I speak with you in private?"
Chen Yan considered briefly before shaking his head, saying, "Captain Luo, if you have anything to say, please do so here. We have no mutual acquaintance; there’s no need for secret discussions."
