Chapter 213 - 101: Undying Body, Undead Calamity

"Two hundred million!"

"That much!"

Seeing the amount of Source of Life on the interface, Chen Yu was suddenly wide awake and fully focused.

After checking carefully, he confirmed it. It was indeed over two hundred million.

To be precise, it was over two hundred and ten million.

Taking down one Flame Demon Spirit yielded even more Source of Life than wiping out an entire beast tide.

’Special exotic beasts really provide a hefty amount of Source of Life...’

Chen Yu smacked his lips.

Two hundred million Source of Life from a single one. If a few more came along...

Well, it seemed he probably couldn’t handle that with his current strength.

Still, it didn’t stop him from fantasizing a little.

’Top-tier exotic beasts, especially the special ones... If I can take down more of them in the future, then Evolution and leveling up won’t be a problem at all.’

Chen Yu thought happily to himself.

Soon, a young nurse brought in a bowl of congee. Chen Yu ate it, then closed his eyes once more.

He began cultivating with his Celestial Destiny Skill.

His Spiritual Power was greatly depleted, and he had to recover.

The Celestial Destiny Skill could not only restore Qi, but it had no problem restoring Spiritual Power either.

After just one night, Chen Yu had already recovered thirty percent of his strength.

His complexion and spirits had improved significantly.

On the second day, Dongfang Yao and her third uncle came to see him.

"Chen Yu, how are you feeling?" Dongfang Yao asked, looking at him in his hospital bed.

"I’ve recovered a lot. In another day or two, I should be back to my peak."

Chen Yu replied.

"By the way, isn’t the Alliance supposed to have a reward for me? How do I claim it?" Chen Yu blinked, looking at her third uncle.

"..."

’This kid is such a little money-grubber!’

The silver-haired, middle-aged man’s eye twitched as he looked at Chen Yu.

"Don’t worry, the Alliance has already prepared your reward. Old Xiao will deliver it to you," the silver-haired man said.

Chen Yu nodded.

"Oh, right. I heard the situation in the South Sea has improved a lot. Is that true? Aren’t there still a lot of exotic beasts there?"

Chen Yu asked.

The silver-haired man looked at him and said, "The situation has indeed improved significantly, that part is true. But the threat hasn’t been completely eliminated. The job won’t be done until we deal with the South Sea Black Dragon and remove the lingering danger for good."

"The South Sea Black Dragon..." Listening to the silver-haired man, Chen Yu looked at him and asked, "So where is this Black Dragon? Can its location be confirmed?"

The man shook his head. "We can’t confirm its location for now, but we’re still investigating. This Black Dragon possesses Spatial Ability and is extremely powerful. It won’t be easy to deal with."

"Spatial Ability!"

Chen Yu’s heart skipped a beat.

"You punk, you haven’t even recovered yet and you’re already thinking about fighting exotic beasts?" the silver-haired man said with a half-scolding laugh.

"Just planning ahead. By the way, when you go to deal with this South Sea Black Dragon, can you include me?"

Chen Yu asked the silver-haired man.

The silver-haired man: "..."

Dongfang Yao: "..."

"The South Sea Black Dragon is a genuine Level 9, even harder to deal with than the Flame Demon Spirit. Aren’t you afraid something will happen to you, kid?" the man said.

Chen Yu looked at him. "Don’t tell me this South Sea Black Dragon also has an immortal body?"

The silver-haired man shook his head. "It doesn’t have that, no. However, this Black Dragon is indeed more powerful than the Flame Demon Spirit. So don’t even think about it. Even if I agreed, the higher-ups probably wouldn’t allow it. Besides, you’re going to represent the Ancestor Star at the Alliance Assembly in the future. If something happened to you, I couldn’t bear the responsibility."

Chen Yu: "..."

"Alright, just focus on recovering. Don’t overthink it. There’s an endless supply of exotic beasts to kill. In the future, when you get to the Stellar Battlefield, you’ll have more than enough fighting to do," the man said.

Chen Yu lowered his head and said nothing.

’Stop killing exotic beasts?’

’As if!’

’How am I supposed to level up if I don’t kill exotic beasts?’

But it looked like his hopes of fighting the South Sea Black Dragon were dashed.

Something even more terrifying than the Flame Demon Spirit was indeed beyond his current capabilities.

Even if he used his ultimate move, the outcome would be uncertain.

The higher the tier of the creature, the harder it is to kill!

He only managed to kill the Flame Demon Spirit by teaming up with others and unleashing his Undead ultimate move.

If his Undead Flame hadn’t been able to counter the Flame Demon Spirit, it’s hard to say who would have come out on top.

"Chen Yu, get some rest. I’ll be going now," Dongfang Yao said, looking at him.

Chen Yu nodded. Watching Dongfang Yao and her third uncle leave, he closed his eyes and resumed cultivating his Celestial Destiny Skill.

On the third day, An Ran and the others also came to visit him. After they chatted for a while and left, the man with sunglasses and long hair appeared.

He also brought the reward Chen Yu had been waiting for.

The Divine Spirit Pearl!

A divine object said to increase one’s chances of becoming a True God.

As for the merit points, they were automatically deposited into his member account.

Chen Yu gazed at the Divine Spirit Pearl in his hand.

It was about the size of a normal Spirit Pearl, and it glowed with a purplish-gold light!

It contained a terrifying amount of energy.

"Chen Yu, you can’t absorb this Divine Spirit Pearl right now. Don’t even think about trying, or it will only bring you harm, not good," the long-haired man in sunglasses said.

Chen Yu nodded.

He was aware of how powerful the Divine Spirit Pearl was. Even a Level 9 being could only barely manage to absorb it.

The energy within was too immense. For anyone below Level 9, swallowing it would be like taking poison.

Even a tiny amount could be enough to destroy them.

Even a Level 8 Martial Artist couldn’t withstand it.

Only upon reaching Level 9 could one begin to absorb it.

A divine object that increased the chances of becoming a True God was not as simple as it looked.

"You really gave us a surprise this time. You know, kid, I’m starting to suspect you’re cheating. How do you have so many powerful abilities?"

The long-haired man couldn’t help but ask as he looked at Chen Yu.

Hearing this, Chen Yu remained impassive, his expression calm. "Maybe I’m just lucky. Heaven must favor me."

"You’re full of it," the man said, rolling his eyes.

Chen Yu simply smiled without saying anything.

The long-haired man looked at him and asked, "How’s your recovery coming along?"

"Eighty to ninety percent. Getting discharged tomorrow won’t be a problem," Chen Yu replied.

The man nodded. Looking at Chen Yu, he said, "Alright. I’ll come pick you up tomorrow. We’re going to meet a senior."

"Huh?"

’Meet a senior?’

Chen Yu looked at the man in surprise.

’He’s a Level 9. How powerful must someone be for him to call them a senior?’

’Could it be... a True God!’

The thought sent a shock through Chen Yu’s mind.

"It’s just as you think. However, this matter is confidential. Not a word to anyone!" the long-haired man said coolly.

"..."
