60: Yu Yang knelt down
Regardless of whether it was in the past or the present society, no one dislikes hearing flattery.
Yu Yang made many good friends and helped each other out. If not for this reason, perhaps the road to advancing to the Primary War God Level would have been even longer.
"Hello, Big Brother Yu Yang. I have long admired the reputation of 'Battle Axe'. Seeing you today, it truly lives up to its name."
Qiao Yu also offered a string of flattery, giving Yu Yang the feeling of meeting an equal.
"Big Brother Yu Yang, you have a strong will despite your physical disability, and you have worked continuously to reach the War God Level with just your legs. Now that your progress is slow due to your impairment, I wonder why you don't buy a bottle of water of life to restore your hands?"
Qiao Yu asked the question in his heart.
With Yu Yang's War God Level ability, given the 300 billion price tag of the water of life, he should be able to afford it if he saves up, right?
"Little Brother Qiao, you don't know. It's not that I don't want to buy it, but that I can't afford it. With my current strength as an Elementary War God, my annual income is about 3 billion. I would need to go ten years without eating or drinking to trade for one bottle of water of life. If I factor in the cost of purchasing equipment and other expenses, I'm afraid it would take me twenty or thirty years of scrimping and saving to be able to buy one."
"Moreover, the water of life is overpriced due to the hunger marketing tactics of the American Military. Buying a bottle at an auction would likely cost more than 30 billion huaxia coin."
Yu Yang shook his head helplessly, his heart inevitably feeling a bit bitter.
The world only says he is inspirational, but if he could fight enemies on the battlefield as a normal person, he would rather not have this so-called praise.
The white-robed, bald man, Thunder God, saw Yu Yang say this and smiled knowingly.
"Yu Yang, I called you over precisely because of this matter."
Yu Yang was stunned and asked.
"Director-General, did you help me buy the water of life?"
This made Yu Yang excited. He was originally noticed by Thunder God precisely because he was an armless War God. Such perseverance made Thunder God admire him as well.
He didn't expect that Thunder God had actually kept it in mind and even gotten him a bottle of water of life. Yu Yang couldn't help but be moved.
"It's not the water of life, but it's about the same. My disciple has just developed a potion that can allow people to undergo Rebirth of severed limbs, so I'll trouble you to be the pioneer! Qiao Yu!"
Thunder God directly stated that he wanted to use Yu Yang as a test subject, and Yu Yang immediately understood and did not object, locking eyes with Qiao Yu.
Qiao Yu nodded in response, handing out a blood-colored water ball floating in mid-air from his hand.
The dense patterns on it were full of unspeakable strangeness.
Yu Yang gulped and just wanted to speak.
But he saw Qiao Yu pull with both hands, and that blood ball evenly turned into two equal blood balls.
Qiao Yu directly pressed the two blood balls onto Yu Yang's shoulders.
At the same time, he commanded the System in his heart.
'System, Rebirth of severed limbs!'
【Ding! Detected that the current subject for Rebirth of severed limbs is at the Primary War God Level. This will consume 100 cubic meters of flesh and blood mycelium. Continue?】
'100 cubic meters of flesh and blood mycelium? Such a large consumption?'
Qiao Yu heard the System's prompt and couldn't help but be shocked.
Previously, when performing the Rebirth of severed limbs for Zhang Ke and Luo Hua, it only required consuming 2,000,000 milliliters of flesh and blood mycelium, but those two were different—one was at the Warrior level, and one was an ordinary person.
To perform the Rebirth of severed limbs for a War God Level Expert like Yu Yang, the required consumption would likely increase by over a thousand times.
But for future development, a mere 100 cubic meters of flesh and blood mycelium is nothing, right?
'Continue with the Rebirth of severed limbs!'
Qiao Yu issued the command.
【Ding! Currently performing the Rebirth of severed limbs for a War God Level Martial Artist. This time consuming 100 cubic meters of flesh and blood mycelium!】
Before Yu Yang could react, the two blood balls submerged into Yu Yang's shoulders.
Thunder God and Yu Yang were both curiously watching this scene of the Rebirth of severed limbs.
Yu Yang suddenly felt an intense pain explode from his shoulders, as if a piece had been forcibly carved away from his severed limbs, and this sense of pain extended from his shoulders into his body.
The flesh at the severed arms did not grow slowly like Zhang Ke's previously; the flesh was like boiling blood, beating wildly.
Dark red blood mist gushed out from the severed arms, but it condensed in the air without dispersing, gradually forming a thick, cylindrical blood mist, with the dense fungal swarm shaking wildly within the blood mist.
Within the blood mist, dark white bones gradually condensed, extending from Yu Yang's severed limbs toward the other end of the blood mist.
The bones made a teeth-grinding 'crack' sound in the blood mist, as if a brute force was forcibly splicing the bones generated by the blood mist together.
Thunder God was quite amused watching this scene of Yu Yang's Rebirth of severed limbs and was filled with great interest. Yu Yang hadn't actually gone into detail when he introduced himself earlier; Yu Yang was someone born without hands.
The water of life is a healing potion, and it can only restore severed limbs caused by trauma or other reasons; people born with disabilities cannot undergo the Rebirth of severed limbs, a fact that even Yu Yang himself did not know.
At this moment, bean-sized drops of sweat were flowing down from Yu Yang's forehead one after another.
As someone born with a disability, he had never experienced pain in his arms. This was the first time he had experienced the sensation of pain in his arms, making him feel exceptionally excited.
'So this is what hand pain feels like.'
Only a few minutes passed, and a new arm, slightly yellowish with a snowy white tinge and full of explosive power, appeared impressively, with deep green veins clearly visible under the skin.
"I..."
Yu Yang placed his hands in front of his eyes, rubbing them together; he was like a child who had received a brand-new toy.
"I actually have hands!"
"This is real! This is real! Hahahaha!!"
Yu Yang kept shaking his hands. Because it was his first time having hands, he clenched his fists tightly, and the bones made clicking sounds.
He was like a newborn baby, not understanding how to control his own strength.
"Congratulations!"
Thunder God saw Yu Yang so excited and was likewise happy for him.
Yu Yang tried throwing punches—right straight punch, left straight punch, right hook, left hook.
Punch after punch, getting faster and faster, the speed of Yu Yang's strikes was like lightning, and in the end, there was even a faint sound of thunder.
"Hoo, hoo!"
Yu Yang stopped punching, panting heavily.
Even though his hands were sore and numb, it could not hide the excitement in his heart.
He held Qiao Yu's hands with his own, his eyes filled with tears.
"Brother Qiao Yu, I originally didn't hold much hope for these severed limbs of mine. Even regarding the water of life, I actually knew it couldn't restore someone born with a disability; I just kept buying the water of life as a goal to motivate myself to kill monsters and make money."
"I... I..."
Yu Yang was crying and snotting, which actually made Qiao Yu feel a bit embarrassed; mainly, watching a big man cry was indeed a bit strange.
The originally talkative Yu Yang started stuttering at this moment; Qiao Yu allowing him to undergo the Rebirth of severed limbs was no different from giving him a second life.
"Thump!"
Yu Yang, holding Qiao Yu's hands, knelt directly on both knees.
