31: Chapter 31 Second Realm Recovers Superpowers

A cold beast claw was pulled out from his chest, and viscous green blood mixed with Chen Ye's bright red blood splattered onto the ground.

The Puppet Soul-Eater Woman stood in place, letting out the coquettish laughter of a victor.

Her scarlet beast pupils looked down upon Chen Ye as he collapsed on the ground, full of mockery and dominance.

Chen Ye lay sprawled on the cold ground, his body completely drained of strength.

The puncture wound in his chest, his broken right arm, the claw marks on his back—every wound was bleeding profusely.

He tried his best to activate his Restoration Ability, and a pale green glimmer enveloped his pierced heart.

But such a fatal injury could not be quickly healed by a first-stage Restoration Ability; his heartbeat grew weaker and weaker, his life force like a candle in the wind.

He knew clearly that the Soul-Eater Beast would never give him a chance to catch his breath.

"Become my slave and submit for eternity." The Puppet Soul-Eater Woman slowly raised her sharp beast claw, aiming at Chen Ye's head, preparing to deliver the final blow and end his life completely.

Just at this critical moment.

A crisp system notification sound suddenly exploded in Chen Ye's mind!

[Ding!]

[Detected that symbiotic partner Qin Ruoxue's Restoration Ability has upgraded to the second stage; Host shares the second-stage Restoration Ability!]

Boom!

A pale green energy, several times more concentrated than before, instantly gushed out from Chen Ye's entire body, firmly enveloping him!

The green light surged madly into his heart and broken arm.

The previously pierced heart muscle healed at a speed visible to the naked eye, the broken arm bone clicked back into place, and the torn muscles and flesh knit together rapidly.

All fatal wounds were repairing at high speed!

"Holy crap, that came at the perfect time!" A wild joy of escaping death erupted in Chen Ye's eyes.

His previously exhausted strength instantly surged back, and his injuries recovered by more than half in just a few seconds!

The Puppet Soul-Eater Woman sensed something was wrong, her pupils shrank, and she slammed her beast claw down towards Chen Ye's head!

"Too late!"

Chen Ye's gaze suddenly sharpened, and Thunder Light appeared!

"Boom!!" A violently powerful lightning field exploded from him as the center, and pale blue electric currents swept through the surroundings.

The raging puppets that had pounced on him were instantly sent flying by the electric current, collectively collapsing to the ground and passing out completely.

The Puppet Soul-Eater Woman was also sent flying by this powerful lightning storm, crashing heavily several meters away.

Her black scales sizzled and smoked from the electricity, and she shrieked in pain.

Before she could get up, Chen Ye's figure had already rushed to her side like a ghost!

This time, he would hold nothing back!

If an ordinary dagger couldn't break through her scales, then he would use lightning to destroy her completely from the inside!

Chen Ye grabbed the Puppet Soul-Eater Woman's arms tightly with his left hand, pinning her down firmly.

He unleashed his full Lightning Ability without reservation!

Dazzling white Thunder Light shot up from his body, accompanied by thunder and lightning; he transformed into a giant white generator, almost illuminating the entire gloomy sky.

The violent current was like a tsunami. "Boom!!" It poured entirely into the Soul-Eater Beast's body!

"Argh!!" The Puppet Soul-Eater Woman let out a shriek of extreme agony.

Green blood sprayed wildly, and the black scales shattered and peeled off inch by inch in the lightning.

In just a few seconds, her struggle stopped completely, and her massive body collapsed limply to the ground.

Her body first regressed into an almost naked human female, her proud figure looking particularly conspicuous on this bloody battlefield.

Finally, that enchanting and alluring female body gradually twisted and regressed, eventually turning into an ugly-looking three-legged beast.

Its huge mouth took up almost half of its head, hideous and terrifying.

Its ugly body emitted a charred, fishy stench from being blasted by the massive lightning.

Finally, a deep blue intertwined beast core rolled out from the beast's mouth; it was the exclusive color of a Second-order Beast beast core.

Chen Ye breathed a sigh of relief, kneeling half-way on the ground, drained of all strength, gasping for air.

"A Second-order Beast is indeed hard to kill... If it weren't for Qin Ruoxue's Superpower upgrading in time, I would have certainly died today." He picked up the Second-order Beast core and clenched it in his palm, the sense of crisis in his heart growing stronger.

The Guangming Residential Community was hiding a Second-order Soul-Eater Beast; the world would only become more dangerous in the future. He had to harvest beast cores as soon as possible to upgrade his Superpower.

At the same time, he was secretly thankful that Qin Ruoxue kept working hard to get stronger; this symbiotic bond had become his lifeline.

Chen Ye sat slumped on the ground, filled with the relief of having survived a disaster, while all around, the residents lay unconscious on the ground and in the flower beds after being electrocuted.

After a short rest, Chen Ye stood up and walked towards Zhao Tieshan and Lin Qingqing.

Lin Qingqing had slowly regained consciousness, leaning against the wall, her face as pale as paper, and the poison sting wound on her shoulder was still bleeding. The tight combat suit she wore was soaked with sweat and blood, clinging tightly to her skin and outlining her slender waist and soft curves.

Her long eyelashes fluttered, her eyes filled with confusion and weakness, and she murmured softly: "Uncle... just now..."

She only remembered being hit by the poison sting; she knew nothing of what happened afterward.

Zhao Tieshan stood guard by her side, his face full of worry.

That white Thunder Light that had just illuminated the entire Residential Community left him incredibly shocked.

Seeing Chen Ye approach, he immediately asked: "Little brother, that lightning and white light just now, who exactly was fighting? That strength is too terrifying!"

Even now, he couldn't believe that such earth-shattering power had been unleashed by this seemingly ordinary young man before him.

Chen Ye glanced at him indifferently. Not wanting to reveal his trump cards, he brushed him off: "I don't know, a person in black. They were too fast, I didn't see clearly."

Zhao Tieshan was a middle-aged man who had experienced much in life; he saw through Chen Ye's lie at a glance.

But he didn't expose him, only a hint of deep meaning flashed in his eyes as he bowed deeply to Chen Ye: "Regardless, thank you for saving Qingqing. I, Zhao Tieshan, will remember this favor."

Chen Ye nodded slightly and looked around: "Where is Zhang Lei?"

As soon as he finished speaking, hurried footsteps came from a distance.

Zhang Lei came running back, his fat face flushed and panting, clearly having hidden far away during the chaos.

"I'm here, I'm here! It was too dangerous just now, I went to find a place to hide first!"

Chen Ye saw through his little scheme at a glance.

This fat guy was a coward who had taken the opportunity to go scavenge for beast cores.

Sure enough, Zhao Tieshan frowned and said coldly: "Did you take the beast core during the chaos? Hand it over!"

Zhang Lei immediately stiffened his neck, protecting his pocket, his face full of defiance: "Why should I? I picked it up myself, why should I give it to you! If you want to fight, let's fight; I'm not afraid of you!"

The two were instantly at daggers drawn, and the atmosphere dropped to freezing point.

Chen Ye stood to the side, calculating internally: Zhao Tieshan had abandoned the archer without hesitation just now, ruthless and cruel, yet he protected Lin Qingqing with all his might.

This girl called him uncle, but the two didn't share the same surname; it wasn't appropriate to ask about such private matters.

The age gap between them was huge, they were definitely not a couple, and their relationship was certainly not simple.

And what was even more headache-inducing was that all the puppets in the entire Guangming Residential Community were male, and the female residents were nowhere to be found. This mystery had to be solved.

In his previous life, this place became a forbidden zone, with no survivors, and The Authorities abandoned it directly.

Now that Chen Ye's Superpower had upgraded and his strength had made a breakthrough, he still couldn't suppress his urge to find answers.

"What about that alluring woman? What was that white light just now?" Zhang Lei couldn't help but ask.

Zhao Tieshan couldn't be bothered with him, staring fixedly at Zhang Lei: "Stop talking nonsense, hand over the beast core, or I'll take it by force!"

Chen Ye spoke at the right moment, interrupting the two: "If you want to fight, go ahead. I have serious business to attend to."

"Serious business?" The two turned to look at him simultaneously.

Chen Ye said indifferently: "The Soul-Eater Beast said before it died that the building in the middle of the Residential Community is hiding a large number of low-level Mutated Beast, all of which are first-stage Mutated Beast. They are very easy to kill, and there are beast cores everywhere."
