Chapter 458: Chapter 305: Life Injection Technique_2
“…”
An became stupefied for a moment. After the Tiger Shark general left, she silently gazed at her right hand.
Within the lines of her palm, a tiny crack faintly opened, and beyond the fissure, there seemed to be a boundless space, from which she could feel endless spiritual power.
A gentle breeze blew by, and the tiny crack in her hand closed instantly.
At this moment, Pelu couldn’t help but exclaim,
“It’s decided, the main headline will be ‘The Defeat of the Dragon Tamer King!’ and the subtitle, ‘Noble Legend, Toyed into Submission by Witch and Hunter’s Tentacles and Vines!'”
Phew! The moment the newspaper headline was spoken, a wave of astonishment swept through the surrounding navy.
“Ms. Pelu, your style of naming has a hint of Ms. Lilith’s flair,”
the navy exclaimed, aware that fresh off the press ‘Puzzle Guessing Column’ included outrageous guesses about ‘Witch and Hunter,’ ‘The love-hate relationship between Auntie Carol and the pint-sized Dragon Tamer King,’ ‘The volatile Blade Witch and rebellious Fenrir the wolf’s love story’ among other celebrity speculations.
With these sensational headlines, Lilith had already sold a huge number of newspapers, becoming White Dove Newspaper’s top-selling editor and perhaps even the best overall editor in sales for the newspaper.
…
An gave Pelu a speechless glance and clenched her fist.
Can I really defeat Black Hunter? An began to doubt her own strength.
This battle past, the names Witch and Hunter would truly resonate across these seas.
And about these two, An always had a sense of déjà vu and some bold speculations.
However, all guesses required verification through practice.
Just as Tiger Shark General said, if she wanted to catch Black Hunter and the Witch, perhaps this month was her last chance.
Amidst the cheers of the navy, the news of the navy’s victory over the Dragon Flower Islands and the defeat of Dragon Tamer King spread with the sea breeze throughout the Witch Sea.
…
…
It was just past six in the morning, the sky barely lit.
The lumberyard island, which gathered many ships fleeing for refuge, was still enveloped in an atmosphere of fervor due to the great victory at Dragon Flower Islands from last night until now.
“I told you, the Black Whale Group is a joke. I don’t know how the Black Whale Group, with a King of Pirates who dares not enter the battlefield, would win against the navy?”
“Tiger Shark General is really formidable. But those monsters Witch and Black Hunter, they actually managed to take down Dragon Tamer King, that’s terrifying.”
“Isn’t it? Haven’t you heard the legend of the Flower Witch? Legend has it that years ago, hundreds of thousands of navy were buried by the Flower Witch!”
“But the Flower Witch is the successor of the Flower Witch, and who is Black Hunter? What’s his relationship with the Flower Witch? I boldly guess they are siblings.”
“No, I think Black Hunter might be held hostage by the Flower Witch, or perhaps they both come from a mysterious Extraordinary Organization.”
Inside a shabby boat in a corner,
The Witch… Fen awoke to the noise around her while lying in bed.
Then, she felt a warm sensation on her lips.
What is that? It’s so bitter, what potion is this… Fen opened her bleary eyes, and instantly blooms of shock sprouted on her head.
She had a nightmare, dreaming she fell into the sea, entwined and devoured by deep sea monsters.
You’re awake? Chen Qi placed the medicine bowl on the bedside table:
“Fen, are you awake? It’s time for your medicine.”
Having said that, Chen Qi pulled out some new potions from his backpack card.
All these potions were masterpieces given to him by the Flower Witch.
Fen slowly sat up, looking around. The wooden walls had a cozy feel, without the blood-scented sea, no dragons looming over them, and no dark, deep sea.
There was only Chen Qi, and her Water Elf No.2 by her bed.
Fen’s memory slowly surfaced, and she vaguely remembered the events of yesterday. In the Deep Sea, due to exhaustion and fear, she had lost consciousness.
“Did we… win?”
Fen, gripping the blanket tightly, nervously asked as she saw the scene before her.
“Yes, we won, and we secured quite a haul. Moreover, Fen, you are now a legend…”
Chen Qi silently took out Dragon Tamer King’s ‘backpack card,’ proving to Fen that they were not meeting in heaven.
In his influence, although the Flower Witch did not get full support from Blood Blade Pirate Group, they still smoothly ascended to legendary status without major risks.
“I am a legend…”
Fen took a deep breath, feeling from her forehead to her abdomen, her body had undergone a transformation, and her spiritual power origin was in a state she had never experienced before.
“Yes, and a legend who masters Life Technique,”
Chen Qi affirmed.
“Waku Waku! (Congratulations! Congratulations!)”
The Water Elf No.2 bounced around, offering its master a small yellow flower.
“Legend!”
Fen finally relaxed her clenched hands and accepted the flower.
Inside the ship, it’s Chen Qi; outside, there’s the lively chatter of people.
The heartwarming scene before her gradually helped her move on from the battle with the Dragon Tamer King and her fear of the Deep Sea.
She couldn’t help but sprout a few happy little yellow flowers atop her head; her orange-red eyes locked onto Chen Qi, followed by a sly smile:
“How’s this? Qi, isn’t my Life Energy delicious, giving you back your vitality?”
As she spoke, Fen extended her right index finger, wrapped in bandages, channeling her Spiritual Power with an arrogant look.
Fen confidently continued:
“Qi, you’re also seriously injured, but don’t worry, just lie down obediently in bed and accept the Life Essence from this witch, and all your wounds will heal up!”
With that, Fen was ready to reach out, pin Chen Qi to the bed, and forcibly use Life Injection to heal him.
Fen, what on earth are you saying? Are you dreaming or just out of your mind?
Bang!
Chen Qi sharply tapped Fen’s head, covered in little yellow flowers.
“Ouch!”
Fen looked down, holding her head, wondering why, even after advancing to legendary status, she could still feel such intense pain.
Chen Qi let out a sigh and slowly said:
“The Life Injection Technique can be risky, Fen. Don’t use it recklessly.”
Life Injection is essentially a very convenient yet powerful Magic Technique.
But it’s not without side effects; this energy can help the body rapidly regenerate, but it can also easily get out of control.
For instance, the target is to heal an arm, but during the process, you might end up growing an extra arm or an extra mouth due to an excess of Life Energy—
And such extra limbs or mouths are difficult-to-control, terrifying afflictions.
Moreover, most importantly, the ‘Life Injection’ Fen previously used likely came at the expense of her own Life Source.
A technique unleashed at the expense of one’s own life might be powerful, but the consequences are also severe, leading to a substantial decline in one’s constitution.
Fen’s current critical condition also proves this point.
Chen Qi asked:
“Fen, you didn’t expend your Origin of Life in this battle, did you?”
“No.”
Fen quietly said, then a small blue flower of guilt sprouted atop her head.
“I knew it, how many years approximately?”
Chen Qi shook his head, pressing further.
In her early advancement, her Magic Technique could wither the Dragon Tamer’s strong arms and thighs in an instant, undoubtedly consuming a significant portion of her Life Origin.
Fen blinked, guiltily stating:
“Two years maybe…”
Another guilty small blue flower appeared above Fen’s head.
“Hm?”
Chen Qi asked with increasing irritation.
“Twenty years maybe…”
“…”
Hearing this number, Chen Qi sighed deeply.
Such a massive depletion, even for a Legend, would require at least a month to recover.
Chen Qi instructed:
“Fen, for the next month, you’ll stay put in bed, no strenuous activities. I’ve already bandaged you, and as for the doctor, I’ll try to find a reliable one.”
Bandaged up… Fen looked down at her chest and aside from her hand, only then did she notice that her chest and abdomen were wrapped in bandages.
And she was in Chen Qi’s room, no less.
“Cough cough, Water Elf No.2 did the bandaging, and this room is yours for the month.”
Chen Qi coughed, explaining a bit.
Stare… A questioning flower bloomed above Fen’s head as she focused on Chen Qi.
And the next second, there was a knock on the door.
“Come in.”
Bree, who had spent the whole day repairing the ship and had dark circles under his eyes, walked onto the vessel with his hands in his pockets.
Holding a newspaper, he entered, scanning the Black Hunter and the Witch incredulously.
He could never have dreamed that just by looking to bum a meal from a restaurant owner, he’d become one of the three major figures in the ‘Dragon Tamer Dragon Repulsion Battle.’
Should I not be here at this time, and be outside continuing to fix the ship? Bree coughed and said earnestly:
“The two of you, I have here the latest edition of the newspaper, and also, there’s some good news from the Ice Demon Pirate Group.”
