Celestial Beast Taming

Chapter 66: Chapter 65: Wasn’t the Potential Rating Too Low!?

Hearing this, even though Chen Yin was trying her best to stay strong, she couldn’t stop the tears from instantly streaming down her face.

Zhong Yi’s words had struck a chord deep in her heart.

In truth, Chen Yin had long harbored a thought: if she ever met someone who claimed they could heal her husband, no matter how slim the chance, she didn’t want Zheng Yufeng to suffer in this Ice Coffin any longer.

Ever since the Death Soul Pearls were transplanted into his body, Zheng Yufeng would spend nearly half of every day convulsing and trembling from the encroaching Death Qi, spasming like a monster inside the Ice Coffin.

Chen Yin had forcibly kept her husband alive, not out of a selfish fear of losing the man before her,

but because she truly wanted to give the person she loved most a chance to live.

The three Death Soul Pearls were suffused with Death Qi, but in Chen Yin’s eyes, they had always been the embers that bought Zheng Yufeng a chance to survive.

Now, someone who claimed they could heal her husband had finally appeared.

’These embers that have sustained my husband’s last breath must now be removed. Whether they can truly ignite is up to fate!’

”Lord Su Sheng, we’ll do it!”

”When would it be convenient for you?”

The moment Chen Yin spoke with determination, one of the men beside her couldn’t help but interject.

”Sister Yin, if we take out the Death Soul Pearls, Big Brother...”

Before the man could finish, Chen Yin cut him off, her voice a choked sob she was desperately trying to suppress.

”I am Yufeng’s wife. You are all his comrades-in-arms. You know Yufeng just as well as I do.”

”If Yufeng were conscious right now and could decide for himself, what do you think he would choose?”

”Would he want to continue barely clinging to life in this sunless Ice Coffin, or would he want to fight for a chance to walk the earth under the open sky once more?”

”If Lord Su Sheng succeeds, he will be mine and Yufeng’s benefactor. Even if he doesn’t succeed, he still will be!”

”Yufeng and I have been waiting for this chance for over a decade.”

Chen Yin’s last words were spoken softly, almost a murmur.

Hearing this, the two men, whose eyes had been red all along, also had glistening tears begin to fall.

”Lord Su Sheng, I beg you, you have to save my big brother!”

”If you can save him, I’d be willing to climb a mountain of knives or plunge into a cauldron of boiling oil.”

Zhong Yi walked up to the Ice Coffin again and said in a perfectly calm voice,

”We can begin the treatment now. You can watch from the side.”

”We’ll know soon enough whether it’s successful.”

Because Zhong Yi wore a mask made from a polished Phantom Phosphorus Crystal Dragon Crystal, no one could see his expression.

If they could see his expression, those who knew Zhong Yi would have noticed the seriousness in his eyes.

This seriousness didn’t stem from a fear that the Resurrection Celestial Lord couldn’t heal the man in the coffin, but from the earnest solemnity of saving a life on the brink of death.

The instant the two men removed the three Death Soul Pearls from the man’s body, the pearls let out a piercing, explosive shriek.

It was as if each Death Soul Pearl contained a thousand despairing Dead Souls, wailing in agony.

The body of the man inside the coffin began to lose its luster at a visible rate, showing signs of decay and rot.

Zhong Yi activated his Soul Base, and the Resurrection Celestial Lord appeared before the Ice Coffin.

Zhong Yi, who possessed an SSS-Level potential rating, chose not to have the Resurrection Celestial Lord hold back.

The Resurrection Celestial Lord immediately condensed three Cores of Resurgence. The golden-green cores were then inserted into the man’s body through the wounds where the Death Soul Pearls had just been removed.

The three Cores of Resurgence replaced the Death Soul Pearls, rapidly activating the man’s Life Template.

With sufficient Energy in the man’s body, new flesh began to granulate at a visible rate over the ghastly wound that nearly bisected his torso.

Even Lin Zhuo, who had witnessed Zhong Yi heal her own Order Beast, the Crown of the Sun, felt as if she were watching a divine miracle.

In less than fifteen minutes, not only had all the external wounds on the decaying man in the Ice Coffin healed completely, but his chest was even rising and falling rhythmically with his breath.

This meant that in addition to his external injuries, the complete wreck of his internal organs had also been healed.

At that moment, Chen Yin and the two tough men beside her, who had just shed their ”little pearls” of tears, could no longer contain their emotions and began to cry with joy.

Lin Zhuo’s gaze burned brightly as she stared at Zhong Yi’s indistinct figure, a single thought echoing in her mind.

’An SSS-Level potential rating... might have been an underestimate!?’

Lin Zhuo knew perfectly well how severe Zheng Yufeng’s injuries were.

You could say that all of Starlight City, including Star Night and Cold Day, had been helpless against his injuries. They had even brought in that Celestial Destiny Seeker from Kyoto with the healing Ability.

Chen Yin had tried every conceivable method.

Compared to Zheng Yufeng’s injuries, Zhao Kai’s had clearly been less severe.

After all, Zhao Kai’s internal organs hadn’t been damaged; he had only lost his limbs.

Lin Zhuo had brought Zhong Yi here thinking he could heal Zheng Yufeng because, during a meal, she had learned from a conversation between Zhong Yi and Zhao Kai that Zhong Yi had also healed both of Zhao Kai’s Guardian Beasts.

Lin Zhuo hadn’t seen the condition of Zhao Kai’s two Guardian Beasts with her own eyes, but she had sent people to Zhuxue City to inquire.

Compared to the state of Zhao Kai’s two Guardian Beasts, Zheng Yufeng’s injuries were undoubtedly less severe.

Lin Zhuo had thought Zhong Yi could heal him, but she never imagined that for Zhong Yi, healing Zheng Yufeng would be as easy as her raising a hand to conjure fire.

’Such a healing Ability isn’t just worthy of an SSS-Level potential Talent—it’s worth eight S’s!’

Zheng Yufeng wasn’t like her, who had just stepped into the Mythical Tier. His Deceit Beast had already reached the Mythical Tier Peak.

For Zhong Yi’s humanoid Order Beast to heal such severe injuries across three Major Tiers meant that from now on, Starlight City’s high-end combatants would no longer have to fight with their hands tied.

They could even trade injuries for injuries, as long as it meant killing the enemy.

After all, even if they were injured to the point of damaging their Origin, Zhong Yi would be there to heal them.

This would massively boost the combat effectiveness of Starlight City’s experts. A Mythical Tier Guardian Beast Master who feared having their Guardian Beast’s Origin damaged and one who was unafraid of injury were two completely different things.

”All right, the treatment is finished. He’s out of danger.”

”However, he has been in a coma for a long time, so he’ll need to rest for a night before he’s likely to wake up.”

”Once he’s awake, if you need his injured Deceit Beast healed, you can find me again.”

Chen Yin had by now composed herself from her joyful excitement and walked over to Zhong Yi with the two men.

Before Chen Yin could even do anything, the two men beside her dropped to one knee, cupped their fists, and thanked Zhong Yi.

Chen Yin, for her part, gave Zhong Yi a deep bow.

”Lord Su Sheng, thank you for giving my husband and me the chance to see each other again.”

”And not just me seeing him while he can’t see me.”

”Don’t be fooled by my modest living conditions. I’ve actually collected quite a few good things.”

”Material things are not enough to repay your kindness, but please accept this as a small token of my gratitude.”

”In the future, if there is anything you need me to do, I will do it, as long as it doesn’t harm Starlight City.”
