Chapter 165: Chapter 144: I Couldn’t Comprehend It Before, But My Comprehension Is Completely Different Now!

At the same time, his body was covered in burn marks from the flames. His hair was completely disheveled, with much of it scorched black, entirely devoid of his previous unhurried elegance. He stared fixedly at Ji Zhixing.

He saw that the Five-Colored Spiritual Light on Ji Zhixing’s body had been shattered, and his grayish-white petrified armor had been slashed to pieces by the sword light. His body was riddled with wounds, some of which were still oozing blood. It was a shocking sight. Yet, Ji Zhixing still stood there, seemingly completely oblivious to his injuries.

"Is this guy... made of iron?" Gu Zheng thought, a chill welling up in his heart.

That sword strike was his true, strongest attack. Looking at the entire elite class of Yu City University, only Cao Zhenxing could confidently claim to completely block it. No one else could. But Ji Zhixing was still standing after suffering such injuries? What shocked him even more was that after only a slight pause, Ji Zhixing raised the long staff in his hands once again.

BOOM!

Right then, up in the sky, a flash of anger crossed Xiao Mingyue’s eyes when she saw the injuries on Ji Zhixing’s body. With a wave of her hands, the Flame Spirit Birds she had previously conjured instantly merged together. In the blink of an eye, they formed a massive Flame Spirit Bird with a wingspan of seven to eight meters. Upon materializing, the giant flaming bird flapped its wings and dove straight for Gu Zheng, its intense heat distorting the air in its wake.

"Damn it!" Seeing this, Gu Zheng’s expression turned incredibly ugly. He glanced at his own injuries, then at Ji Zhixing and Xiao Mingyue, who were charging at him as if perfectly fine. Taking a deep breath, he hesitated no longer.

"Lord Azure Sky Divine Wood, please teleport me back to the Land of Origin!" he shouted respectfully at the empty space in front of him.

As soon as the words left his mouth, a spatial fluctuation enveloped him. In the next second, his figure vanished from midair.

"Gu Zheng... ran away?" Xu Cheng and Jiang Qingqian revealed looks of disbelief as they witnessed the scene.

Gu Zheng, a top student in the genius class, a Tier Three Cultivator who had integrated the Tier Four Morning Star-grade Sword Feather Peacock gene, was actually beaten so badly by Ji Zhixing and Xiao Mingyue that he voluntarily teleported away to escape?

"How are you?" Seeing Gu Zheng leave, Xiao Mingyue immediately descended and landed beside Ji Zhixing, her eyes filled with worry.

"I’m fine. They’re just flesh wounds," Ji Zhixing shook his head, deactivating his super gigantification ability to return to his original form.

After reverting his size, his previously torn clothes were quickly restored to their original state under the effects of the Golden Chapter. As for his physical injuries, they would still take some time to fully heal.

However, he hadn’t lied. For him now, injuries like these truly were mere flesh wounds. His super self-healing ability was rapidly repairing the cuts. Fresh granulation tissue grew at a visible rate, and the bleeding quickly stopped.

"Hurry and drink this potion. Don’t try to tough it out," Xiao Mingyue said, immediately taking out a vial of potion and handing it to him.

Ji Zhixing wanted to refuse, but after meeting Xiao Mingyue’s gaze, he had no choice but to take the Little Life Spring Water and down it. As the Little Life Spring Water and his super self-healing ability went to work, his wounds instantly began closing up at a visible speed. The flesh that had been sliced open by the sword light rapidly mended, healing so cleanly that scabs didn’t even form.

"Much better." Ji Zhixing stretched his body, feeling completely refreshed.

He raised his head and looked into the distance. The dark clouds and the Thunder Pool were indeed moving. In just this short span of time, they had drifted several hundred meters away and were slowly continuing into the distance. Lightning still flashed within the dark clouds. Purple electricity darted through the cloud layer, emitting loud CRACKLES. Every so often, a bolt of lightning would strike down upon the earth.

"I’m going to check out what’s going on with that lightning!" Ji Zhixing took a deep breath. Now that they had dealt with Gu Zheng, it was time to try and see if he could comprehend a lightning-attribute gene ability.

Previously, he hadn’t been able to comprehend one simply because his comprehension was lacking. But now... things were different!
