83: Healing

So he had already come into contact with the Law...

He had originally thought that the Law Zhang Chen spoke of was like those he had seen in web novels; reversing space-time with a wave of a hand, wandering through the long river of time!

After all, in Secret Realm No. 7, he had indeed witnessed the power of space.

But listening to it now, it didn't seem to be what he had imagined...

"So that's how it is. The Golden Essence Art is also quite good; it can help you comprehend the Law of Metal. Martial Artists who practice the Law of Metal have great advantages in both offense and defense." Zhang Chen understood and brought the topic back.

"Since Zhou Ye values your sister, perhaps it is because her talent is compatible with the Tongshen Sect.

That is why I said this is not a bad thing...

But you don't need to worry; as long as the little girl doesn't agree, he won't force her to become his Disciple."

Chu Yuan shook his head. "I still don't understand. Why would someone who is clearly a powerhouse act so down-and-out, like a swindler...

Is it to highlight his carefree nature?"

Zhang Chen pondered for a moment. "That's not it... Perhaps it has to do with the 'Karma' they often talk about."

"Alright."

"Enough, let's not talk about this. Find a quiet place, and I will repair the backlash for you."

He definitely couldn't choose his home; Chu Yuan didn't want Han Cui to know he was injured.

So, after sending away the confused Chu Ying and warning her not to speak of this to anyone, he found a hotel nearby.

Zhang Chen had been confident. He specialized in the Law of Life, and healing others was his forte.

Although the backlash from the boiling source pill was severe, he could save someone even if only their head remained... let alone this minor backlash.

But when the green threads emerging from his staff merged into Chu Yuan's body, he realized he might have been too optimistic!

The state of Chu Yuan's body was truly terrible; there were loopholes everywhere, and he couldn't even begin to intervene!

This didn't seem to be the result of the boiling source pill...

If an ordinary Martial Artist encountered this situation, they would have already been arranging their funeral, yet Chu Yuan was still acting lively.

Zhang Chen even considered chopping off Chu Yuan's head and weaving a new body for him; that would be more convenient than patching him up!

Unfortunately, such a method was too terrifying.

Although Zhang Chen was confident he could maintain Chu Yuan's consciousness after cutting off his head, he felt this little guy probably wouldn't be able to accept it...

Forget it, it's better to go with the troublesome method.

Chu Yuan had by now abandoned his perception of the external environment, focusing all his mental energy on his own body.

That green thread... it seemed to be something of a higher level than the life origin!

Starting from the Dantian, like sewing clothes, it stitched up the damaged parts of his body bit by bit!

Waves of numbness and itching came, mixed with a little pain, but his Aura was growing stronger bit by bit!

Chu Yuan lost all sense of time; he didn't know how long had passed.

Until the injuries in his body were basically repaired, a thought suddenly rose in his heart: Should he take this opportunity to reach Core Formation!?

He had stepped into the Golden Core Stage once before, so he already had the experience.

Moreover, with the timing and conditions right, the life origin from the enemy, Zhang Chen's Law of Life... with so many external forces pushing him, he couldn't see how he could possibly fail!

But there was one problem: if he reached Core Formation now, Zhang Chen would definitely discover that he was different from a Martial Artist!

After all, even for the most Genius Martial Artist, no one had ever heard of a Golden Core appearing in their body during advancement...

His thoughts turned, and Chu Yuan finally abandoned the idea.

There was no need to rush; besides, after obtaining the Martial God Scroll, it would be best to advance to the Golden Core Stage using the new Cultivation Technique!

He slowly opened his eyes, just in time to see Zhang Chen's staff retracting those green threads.

"Thank you, Elder Zhang!" Chu Yuan said sincerely.

He felt great now; he had returned to his peak state!

If he were given another Epiphyllum Lure, he would dare to fight Tong Han again...

"Hmm." Zhang Chen seemed to be thinking about something and replied casually.

It was already dark outside the window; it had taken several hours to repair Chu Yuan's body... Even he felt slightly mentally exhausted.

It was ironic; even though he practiced the Law of Life, a Law not suited for combat, if he were willing, he could quickly slaughter everyone on Earth Star.

But conversely, if he wanted to save someone, even just one person, and a low-realm Martial Artist like Chu Yuan at that... it still took some effort.

The difference between macroscopic great power and microscopic performance was significant!

However, Martial Artists who had reached the Nirvana Realm were easier to heal, because they 'already knew what their body should look like.' Zhang Chen only needed to provide the Law of Life to assist in the repair...

"Your Physique is very unusual. Perhaps that is why your progress in the Martial Dao is so fast."

"..." Chu Yuan thought to himself that he was putting the cart before the horse.

He knew his own Physique; the reason it was described as unusual by Zhang Chen was simply because of the forging by Spiritual Qi...

"Elder Zhang, we haven't learned about any 'Physique' in our textbooks. Is there really such a thing?"

"Of course there is. Just like some people are born with more strength, some are born smarter, and some have sharper perception than others..." Zhang Chen explained simply without going too deep.

Research on this matter was not systematic... nor was it necessary.

The Quenching Origin Technique in the College Entrance Examination was already a screening process; those with special talents would always stand out.

Furthermore, later on in the Martial Dao, one would focus more on Comprehension Ability and Heart-Nature!

"Your internal Qi is also a bit strange..." Zhang Chen said, puzzled.

Although he hadn't intentionally probed, he could still feel it.

Chu Yuan's 'internal Qi' was incredibly condensed and of exceptionally high quality; compared to normal Martial Artists, it didn't seem to be on the same level at all.

"..." Chu Yuan was silent; he really didn't know how to explain this.

It seemed he would have to avoid letting others' energy enter his body in the future.

This time, there was really no other way; relying on himself to heal slowly would be too slow...

"Chu Yuan..." Zhang Chen hesitated.

He had deduced many possibilities for the abnormalities in Chu Yuan in his mind, but none of them seemed right.

First: Chu Yuan had obtained some powerful Legacy, but his life trajectory was clear as day; he had never even left Chenyang City. This possibility was too small!

Second: Chu Yuan had been taken as a Disciple by some powerhouse and was being carefully taught... but if that were the case, Chu Yuan wouldn't need to ask for his help with the backlash from the boiling source pill!

Furthermore, why would a powerhouse of Great Qin need to hide and sneak around when taking a Disciple? Even if they wanted to temper his Heart-Nature, it wouldn't be to this extent...

Third: Chu Yuan... was backed by an alien race! But this possibility was also very small.

If Chu Yuan were backed by an alien race, what difference would it make from self-destruction for him to do the things he had done?

Moreover, he knew most of the methods of the alien races, and they didn't match Chu Yuan's situation...

Perhaps, it really was some sort of Martial Dao miracle...

"Elder Zhang?"

"Do you have a Master?"

Chu Yuan was silent for a moment, then slowly shook his head. "No."

"In that case... in the future, if anyone asks about your abnormalities, you can blame it on me."
