Chapter 412: The Dragon King Awakens and Breaks Through!
Ye Chen said calmly as he looked at the bull that was looking at him with hostility, “I know you understand me. Now, move. I’m the only one who can save the Dragon King.”
The bull stopped pawing its hooves as it watched Ye Chen calmly. It seemed to be thinking. Eventually, it even nodded lightly at Ye Chen and then retreated aside while shaking its tail.
It seemed it could really understand what he said. Especially when Ye Chen said that he was the only one who could save the Dragon King, it seemed to be really convinced.
Li Ying, who was standing aside, was secretly stunned because although the bull was an animal, the Dragon King had been keeping it since it was young. It was proud and eccentric. Apart from the Dragon King, it would ignore everyone else, including people from the Dragon Soul.
However, Ye Chen made it retreat by saying a single sentence.
Ye Chen walked to the ice casket in silence. He stretched his arm out and patted the cover. Using his controlled Divine Consciousness, he checked through the Dragon King’s body thoroughly after opening the casket cover.
As that happened, Li Ying held her breath in silence. She was worried that she would interfere with his process. However, she was secretly nervous as she was scared that he would declare that it was hopeless to treat the Dragon King.
After a while, she finally could no longer hold back after realizing that Ye Chen said nothing. “How is he, Mr. Ye? Can you save him?”
“It’s rather tedious!” Ye Chen frowned slightly. “The injury is too severe. He must’ve been in a serious battle with someone earlier. He’s merely hanging on a thread to still be alive now.”
Li Ying’s heart sank. What Ye Chen said next made her feel over the moon though.
“But he can be treated!”
Just when she was going to speak again, Ye Chen said, “Prepare an isolated room for me.”
“Sure, I’ll arrange it right away!” She nodded and walked out immediately. Soon, she got Ye Chen an isolated room. Ye Chen walked in after asking not to be interrupted. He set up formation and began refining the medicinal pills.
The Dragon King had mainly injured his heart meridian. It was no wonder that Old Zhang from Wannan could do nothing about it. Even if he managed to treat the Dragon King, the Dragon King would be a cripple.
However, to Ye Chen, it could be solved by a Resurrection Pill and a Body Strengthening Pill. It was as simple as that.
...
Meanwhile, Li Ying had been guarding by the door. She was pacing, and she would look into the room occasionally. Worry was apparent on her face.
At that moment, Captain Dong, Old Zhang, and the rest walked over quietly. They asked in a concerned manner after looking at the door that was shut, “How is it?”
“It’s been half an hour since Mr. Ye went in. He’s still in there.” Li Ying looked troubled. If she failed to maintain her composure though, she would have rushed into the room earlier.
“Could it be...?” Captain Dong was hesitating to speak. In reality, he wanted to ask if Ye Chen could not do it.
At that moment, the shut door was opened as a creak was heard. Ye Chen walked out of the room together with the fragrance of medicine.
Li Ying said instantly, “How was it, Mr. Ye?”
Whoosh!
All of them had their eyes on him.
Two fresh medicinal pills appeared in Ye Chen’s hand as the medicinal fragrance filled the air. He said while smiling lightly, “Mission accomplished!”
“Ahh!”
Li Ying screamed in joy. Meanwhile, the rest had shock on their faces as they looked at the two medicinal pills. Never had they thought that Ye Chen would have really managed to refine the medicinal pills. They yielded to him now.
Ye Chen said nothing more and walked directly to the ice casket. He fed the Dragon King the Resurrection Pill first. After it was digested completely, he then gave him the Body Strengthening Pill.
The Dragon King’s injury was recovering at a speed that could be seen with the naked eye. Soon, his body hovered out of the ice casket and floated into the sky. At the same time, stunning majesty exploded out of his body.
The majesty made Li Ying and the rest lie low on the ground as they failed to control themselves. They felt as if there was a hill pressing onto them. It was hard for them to breathe, and they were horrified.
“He’s going to break through. Retreat, all of you!” Ye Chen stretched his arm to wave the majesty away though he was not surprised at all.
‘Is the Dragon King breaking through?’
Li Ying and the rest were over the moon to hear that. They got up, clasped their fists at Ye Chen, and left.
Bang!
As soon as they left, the Dragon King in the air released a long shriek, and the ground shook. If one were to look closely, they would notice that the air in the house was faintly distorted.
A compelling energy exuded with him as the epicenter. The shriek continued as if a real dragon was growling to tear heaven and earth apart.
...
“It’s the boss’s voice!”
Li Ying and the rest, who were guarding outside, staggered in shock when they heard the shriek. They looked horrified.
The impact went on, spreading all over the Dragon Soul’s base. Eventually, it covered 16 meters around the Taihang Mountains.
...
Nevetheless, Ye Chen stood still like a pillar under such power. However, surprise flashed through his eyes.
‘So, is this the legendary venerable stage?’
He could sense that the energy that was currently being exuded from the Dragon King’s body was compelling. It had a significant difference from a Martial Dao master’s energy. In fact, he might have comprehended some Rule Bending Power.
A martial venerable was powerful indeed!
Ye Chen nodded lightly as he thought to himself. He could not help but begin wondering whether what they called “breaking the void with martial arts and cultivating into an immortal” really existed throughout China’s 5,000 years of history.
At that moment, the Dragon King, who was in the air, recalled his energy and descended slowly. He clasped his fists at Ye Chen and said in his deep voice, “Thank you!”
Not only did Ye Chen save his life, but he had made him into a real martial venerable.
“You don’t have to thank me!” Ye Chen shook his head lightly. “I don’t like owing favors. Since you were hurt because of me, it makes sense for me to treat you. Regarding your breakthrough, it’s all on you. Just like the saying ‘There’s no breakthrough if you remain stagnant’!”
“I was being too emotional!” The Dragon King laughed out loud. Just when he was going to speak again, the bull next to him kicked him. It seemed to be mad and emotional. Eventually, it merely pushed him lightly with its hoof.
“Haha! Old Huang, I’m a patient now. You must be careful. Otherwise, who will fish for you?” The Dragon King caressed the bull’s ears as love filled his eyes.
He still remembered this old bull carrying him across 1,600 kilometers after the battle at Heaven Lake. That was how the people at the Dragon Soul had discovered that he was hurt.
Poot!
However, the bull farted in response to him. It glared at him in disdain. There was pride and joy on its face as it seemed to think what it did was funny.
At the same time, Li Ying and the rest rushed in. They shed tears of joy upon seeing that the Dragon King was well and healthy.
Nobody could understand the meaning of the Dragon Soul better than they did!
The Dragon Soul was interesting because of the Dragon King!
“Why are you guys crying? Aren’t I alive?” The Dragon King waved frustratedly and said, “It’s been days since I’ve been lying down. My bones are so hard. Bring me my plow. I must let my tendons and bones work a little bit.”
