Chương 174: War God — Chapter 174 - If You Want to Thank Someone, Thank That Wang Xian

Wang Xian nodded and took out the Insect Resin, smelting it on the spot into globs of viscous fluid. This stuff really is rare. A military sub-division as large as Qiongyun Island only has this much. The main issue is too few martial artists bother collecting this material. The cost-effectiveness in exchanging it for Battle Merit isn't high. Otherwise there'd probably be more.

Wang Xian applied the Insect Resin to his hands, then pressed one palm against each person's hand, slowly tapping through the acupoints along their arms. The Insect Resin followed his fingertips, seeping into the acupoints. Under the powerful energy, it broke open their meridians. Then seeped into the channels. All the way up to the shoulder. Wang Xian stopped. A moment later, a team of medical staff emerged from the elevator. Right at that moment, fine patterns began appearing on both their arms.

Their meridians were becoming faintly visible.

'As expected, Insect Resin attracts Spirit Malevolence... and also the cosmic energy within Stellar Marrow Essence...'

'The method works.' Wang Xian thought to himself. That's right. He'd just used the method he'd conceived earlier. Opening meridians within a martial artist's body, then using Insect Resin to form a special Yuan Force Crystal Wall that slowly absorbs the Spirit Malevolence seeping into the body. Only here, what was being absorbed wasn't Spirit Malevolence, but Stellar Marrow Essence. The principle was the same.

He'd directly burst open a meridian in each of their arms, then through smelting the Insect Resin, allowed it to seep into the meridians, forming a relatively crude crystal wall. The fine patterns now appearing on their arms showed some Stellar Marrow Essence being drawn into the meridians. This method is rather crude, of course. The crystal wall formed by Insect Resin is only temporary. Only through the body's autonomous absorption, then condensing it into a Yuan Force Crystal Wall, can it be maintained long-term.

This is also why Wang Xian gave the Insect Resin to Chen Yuting to research into a medicinal agent. If taken as medicine, absorbed and then condensed into a Yuan Force Crystal Wall, it would not only maximize the Insect Resin's effects but also maintain the crystal wall's absorption effect long-term. For now, though, this was an emergency. He couldn't worry about all that. Seeing that the Stellar Marrow Essence in their arm meridians had condensed sufficiently, Wang Xian steadied his fingertip.

Without leaving a trace, through the acupoint at his fingertip, he drew the Stellar Marrow Essence from their meridians into his Divine Meridian.

"Done." Wang Xian released his hands. The several staff members were completely baffled. You just tapped their arms with your fingers and that fixed it? This book was originally published on Royal Road. Check it out there for the real experience. Wang Xian smiled but said nothing. At that moment, the beastification anomalies on the two of them began to gradually disappear. Seeing this, the several staff members let out a huge sigh of relief. The medical personnel behind them hurried over.

Without even having time to ask questions, they carried the two out, intending to treat them further once outside. Wang Xian watched the two Eastern Sakura martial artists lying on the stretchers, his gaze narrowing slightly. In truth, he hadn't mentioned there was another method that could also resolve this. One even simpler and more direct. Simply bleeding them. That's right. Cut open their fingertips, let out 100 milliliters or so, and it would slowly ease.

They could gradually be treated back to health afterward. But if that were done, their bloodline power would definitely become even weaker, or even vanish.

'Martial artists from the Eastern Sakura region are also an important force in the future Alien Star Battlefield, and even in resisting the Lamenting Beast Tide.'

'If this bloodline power can be preserved, then when facing the Lamenting Beast Tide in the future, it adds another viable force...' Wang Xian estimated that if the military side were to make the decision, they would most likely bleed the two to save their lives. Bleeding to save their lives would cost them their bloodline power. Their own strength and realm would also drop. The Eastern Sakura side would still pursue the matter, but it would certainly be better than dying in Dragon Country. But, how to put it.

Perhaps in this present era, the martial competition between nations secretly involves some rivalries and petty scheming. But in Wang Xian's view, in the later era of the Lamenting Beast Tide and the Alien Star Battlefield, none of that matters. Because at that time, there was fundamentally no distinction between nations anymore. There was only one term: 'Blue Star Humanity.' Wang Xian shook his head and followed them out. This time, he'd also conducted a small experiment. And the experiment was a success.

'Next time, I can try selecting some martial artists with Beast Cancer and use this method to delay and treat them.'

'See if it can succeed.'

'And it's best to select martial artists who have suffered from Beast Cancer for a long time. That would be more convincing.' As long as his experiments can succeed step by step, then once Chen Yuting's side researches the corresponding medicinal agent, it will confirm that his plan has already completed its final step. Returning to the island, Wang Xian gazed at the sun in the sky. The sunlight does not begrudge shining upon the entire Blue Star. Similarly, martial arts are also like this.

Blue Star's martial arts have no national boundaries. One week later, having finished his training, Wang Xian and his eldest sister boarded a direct flight back to Western Shu. — A few days after Wang Xian left, Qiongyun Island, Medical Center. Chiba Ryuzaki suddenly opened his eyes wide.

"Brother, you're awake?" From nearby came the voice of his little sister. He turned over and looked at his sister, momentarily stunned.

"This is..."

"This is the medical center on Qiongyun Island."

"We..."

"It seems we didn't die?"

"But I remember, the 'True Spirit Blood' within us, after being activated by the Stellar Marrow Essence, instantly went berserk. That ancient consciousness within the blood just..."

"Swallowed us whole."

"But we didn't die..." the white-haired girl said softly.

"Did you just wake up?" The white-haired girl nodded. The two gazed at the snow-white ceiling, silent. In truth, at the instant they lost consciousness, perhaps the younger sister was better off. Her mental strength was relatively stronger, barely managing to cry out. Otherwise, they might have directly sunk entirely into the Stellar Marrow pool. And no one might have even discovered them. After a while, Xiong Kuohai walked over, looked at the two, and smiled slightly.

"You two, how are you feeling?" Chiba Ryuzaki struggled to sit up and hurriedly said, "Thank you for saving us... when we return this time, we will..." Xiong Kuohai sighed and waved his hand.

"Too polite."

"Protecting your safety is our duty."

"If you truly want to thank someone..." Xiong Kuohai paused thoughtfully.

"Then thank that Wang Xian." The two were stunned. They naturally knew that Wang Xian was the third-realm martial artist who had previously broken the three-stage record from the start, and even broken the record Chiba Ryuzaki himself had set at Thousand Jun Cliff.

"Why?" The two were utterly confused.

"Because, if he hadn't promptly found a way to draw the Stellar Marrow Essence out of your bodies..." Xiong Kuohai gave the two a meaningful glance.

"Even if we could have saved your lives, we could not have preserved your True Spirit Blood." Hearing this, the two of them stiffened slightly, as if sensing inwardly. After a moment, they exchanged a glance, their eyes already filled with shock. Because they indeed sensed that the bloodline power within their bodies had not disappeared. It had even been activated!

"How did he accomplish that?" the white-haired girl asked in a low voice, a trace of curiosity appearing in her eyes.

"I'm not clear on that either." Xiong Kuohai smiled slightly.

"If you have the chance to meet again next time, you can ask him in person." In just a few short days, this young third-realm martial artist had left an indelible impression in Xiong Kuohai's mind. And the two martial prodigies from Eastern Sakura also turned to look out the window, falling silent for a time. The young figure in their minds, at this moment, took on a layer of mysterious color. Outside the window, white clouds drifted gently, the blazing sun like fire.

A beam of sunlight pierced through the dark clouds, falling upon the two of them.

'This sunlight of a foreign land...' The white-haired girl gazed at the sky, her heart murmuring softly.

'It is warmer than Eastern Sakura's...' ➤ Next: When Other People Date, It's to Cultivate the Mind and Spirit
