361: Fully prepared

"I... I can't beat you, but you didn't hurt me either." Wu Man scratched his head, a little embarrassed.

"And, and the smell here is very good, much more comfortable than where we live."

Hearing Wu Man's words, Chen Heng reached out and pinched his skin.

"Do people from your place have bodies like this from birth?"

Chen Heng found it hard to imagine what children born in the rolling yin wind would be like.

Through the feel of Wu Man's skin, Chen Heng could confirm that the physical strength of these Yin Side people was over a hundred times that of ordinary people here.

Otherwise, it would be impossible for them to survive in the yin wind.

"No, it's not like that." Wu Man shook his head and pointed to the pattern on his back.

"Not every newborn child in the tribe receives the blessing of the Witch God; only children who receive the blessing can survive."

"The rest don't live past the first night."

"Witch God?" Another new name, Chen Heng became even more curious about the Yin Side.

"Can you communicate with that Witch God here?"

"No, only the Great Witch Doctor in the tribe can communicate with Lord Witch God." Wu Man shook his head, smiling foolishly.

"Alright then." Chen Heng sighed. It seemed that to obtain this kind of pattern, he would have to make a trip to the Yin Side.

"Chen Heng, do you also want to receive a blessing?" Wu Man blinked his eyes, staring intently at Chen Heng.

"Yes, I also want to see what kind of blessing I can receive." Chen Heng did not say the rest of his thoughts aloud.

"I, I can let you try my blessing, but only once." Wu Man cautiously extended a finger and said.

"How do I do it?" Chen Heng's eyes lit up, and he asked with interest.

"But not here, we have to go to that place." Wu Man pointed in the direction of the Central Great Tower.

Chen Heng immediately understood. Wu Man meant that it could only be used in a place with Yin Qi.

"Okay, then let's go try it in a couple of days." Chen Heng nodded, estimating that the repair tool would be ready in a few days.

"By the way, besides you guys, are there other things in there?"

Chen Heng remembered Wu Xiong saying that there were monsters in the ruins.

However, after two days of observation, Chen Heng always felt that Wu Man didn't seem like a monster, at least not like what Wu Xiong had described.

"Yes, there are." Wu Man nodded, and with his finger, he carved a pattern on the blue brick floor.

"This is the Black Witch God. He appeared with the black storm and came here together." When speaking of the Black Witch God, Wu Man couldn't help but shiver.

"Are those children and women not related?" Chen Heng remembered the few people still huddled in the world-suppressing nail and asked with some concern.

"No, it's fine. Mu Wa's blessing is also very powerful; the Black Witch God won't discover them."

Wu Man replied confidently.

"And the Black Witch God's power seems to be useless in there; even Mu Wa's blessing isn't as powerful."

Hearing Wu Man's words, Chen Heng immediately realized the nature of the Black Witch God's power.

His Fellow Countryman truly had some methods; the Materials he researched made both Yin and Yang forces ineffective.

Of course, except for brute force.

"Black Witch God, huh..." Chen Heng was still quite interested in this Black Witch God. Could it also be a type of Heavenly God?

Or rather, was it just a relatively powerful monster, a monster as powerful as a god in the eyes of Wu Man and his people?

...Three days passed in a blink of an eye, and Wu Ming and Wu Yue had also consumed three full pots of medicinal baths.

However, the effect of the medicinal bath was still very significant; the two little ones' physiques had become normal.

Moreover, their Qi and blood were more than double that of other children their age, and they could already enter the next stage of training.

To practice Martial Skill well, merely having abundant Qi and blood is not enough; strength must also be sufficient.

Of course, these were all Chen Heng's own unconventional theories.

In his opinion, all those moves and Martial Skills were things used in the initial stage.

As the Realm deepened, moves and techniques were truly not as practical as sheer power.

So, Chen Heng's next arrangement for Wu Ming and Wu Yue was... lifting weights!

Coupled with the Medicinal Pills Bai Jun specially prepared for them, and the drinks brewed from Luo Shuo's Phoenix blood to recover from injuries caused by training.

With these two things working in tandem, the strength of the two little ones would definitely increase rapidly.

Returning to the Nine Revolutions Longevity Art, the two little ones' Comprehension Ability was quite Heaven-Defying; Wu Ming Broke Through to the first revolution in two days.

Wu Yue followed closely, comprehending it a day later.

However, the Indestructible Vajra Divine Art still needed some time to be mastered, which shows the difficulty of this external Martial Skill.

Wu Man's language learning progress was also quite fast; he could already converse normally with everyone.

It's just that he occasionally didn't understand some nouns and idioms.

At the same time, good news also came from the Imperial Research Institute.

Unfortunately, it wasn't about Chen Heng's source fragment Fusion and transplantation surgery, but rather that the new generation of loophole repair devices had been completed.

Sitting in the center of the Council of Elders, Chen Heng looked at the Old Man and Old Woman around him with eager eyes.

"Mr. Chen, we understand all your requests. This matter will be left to us."

The Grand Elder no longer cared about source fragments or anything else; as long as the hole could be plugged, it was fine.

"Mr. Chen, His Majesty the Emperor has agreed to your sparring match, as well as the Fusion and transplantation surgery you proposed."

"The only thing we hope you do is to plug the hole in the ruins; as for the monsters inside, leave them to us."

The Grand Elder spoke very quickly, afraid that Chen Heng would go back on his word.

"Bring the item." Chen Heng didn't waste words; he had previously promised Wu Man to bring Mu Wa and the children out.

To successfully bring them out, Wu Man had even specially taught him a few phrases in the barbarian language.

A whole bunch of gibberish, but the general meaning was: 'I am a good person, Wu Man sent me to take you out, I will not harm you.'

It was roughly the same.

"The Empire will remember your achievements, Mr. Chen!"

Hearing Chen Heng agree so readily, the Grand Elder led all the Elders of the Council of Elders to stand up and bow.

The metal in the ruins was too important to them; without that metal, not only would the Empire's development stagnate.

The Research Institute's reverse engineering process for that metal would also become incredibly slow.

"Alright, don't give me this useless formality. Give me the item, and I'll go right now."

Chen Heng was completely uninterested in these formalities; he just wanted to finish the matter quickly and then have a good 'spar' with His Majesty the Emperor.

And by the way, try to Fuse and transplant the source fragment into his body.

Hearing Chen Heng's words, the gate of the Council of Elders suddenly opened, and the Old Woman from the Imperial Research Institute walked in, pushing a small cart.

"Mr. Chen, this is the third-generation repair device. It's very simple to operate; you just need to place it at the opening and activate it directly."
