CHAPTER 402: CHAPTER 255: NAXUE’S TOUCHING MOMENT

The azure light suddenly surged during its constant expansion, and the giant shark’s gaping maw halted mid-air. Next, a deafening boom pierced the sky, as the shark’s belly was viciously torn apart by the azure light, instantly severing it into two blood-drenched halves! As blood rained down, the entire Bell Lake seemed to transform into a world of red.

Ling Yueyaya stood with her mouth slightly open, staring dazedly at the figure that suddenly appeared in mid-air. At that moment, she was filled with awe and an indescribable joy. Two streams of hot tears once again slid down her cheeks, merging with the blood rain. She knew Luo Chen was still alive!

Cheers erupted from the shore. Triangular Eyes and his companions clapped and celebrated excitedly, eventually hugging each other tightly. Their faces were radiant with smiles and tears, jubilant over Luo Chen’s miraculous survival. Carefree Meng Lan couldn’t help but feel her nose twinge, as two lines of hot tears ran down her own cheeks.

"Luo Chen, you... sob..." Carefree Meng Lan choked as she spoke, unable to express the emotions and poignancy in her heart with words.

Luo Chen descended from mid-air, his body drenched in blood, yet reflecting a wild grin. His eyes revealed a firm and confident look, as if he had overcome all difficulties and challenges. He looked at Ling Yueyaya and the people on the shore, his heart brimming with gratitude and heroism. He knew he had not only defeated the ferocious giant shark but also conquered the fear and unease within his heart.

"I’m back," Luo Chen said with a smile, his voice carrying endless warmth and strength.

These back-to-back miraculous encounters undoubtedly marked a significant turning point in Luo Chen’s life. He not only ascended to a one-star Soul Master but also deeply comprehended the secret of channeling soul energy in the face of life and death, even touching the threshold of communicating with the divine aura of heaven and earth. This epiphany left him feeling unprecedented excitement and pride.

Once, someone told him that skills couldn’t be unleashed before reaching the Soul Regent stage, and cultivation had to be meticulous and gradual. But now, Luo Chen had not only broken this convention but soared to the sky at an astounding speed! This sense of achievement made him want to announce his success to the world.

He slowly drifted down from mid-air, feeling indescribably elated. Unconsciously, he burst into a bout of laughter, filled with grandeur and confidence.

At this moment, Ling Yueyaya rose and grabbed his hand tightly. There was still a trace of tears on her face, clearly showing how worried she had been for him before.

"Are you okay? Did you get hurt anywhere?" She asked with concern, her voice trembling slightly. To her, Luo Chen’s laughter seemed a bit eerie, and she worried it was just a facade.

Luo Chen gently squeezed her hand and smiled confidently, "I’m fine, don’t worry!" His voice bore unwavering firmness and reassurance, as if everything was under his control.

Hand in hand, they walked to the shore where Carefree Meng Lan approached in a stride. She placed her hand on Luo Chen’s shoulder, scrutinizing him from top to bottom, fearing he might have sustained any injury.

"Luo Chen, did you get hurt? Why does your face look so pale?" Carefree Meng Lan’s tone was brimming with concern and care. Her previous misunderstandings and grievances towards Luo Chen had completely vanished at that moment. She only wished he was safe and sound.

Luo Chen felt warmth from her sincere concern. He gently shook his head and smiled, "I’m fine, Sister Naxue."

Carefree Meng Lan was taken aback upon hearing this term of address. Her beautiful eyes blinked, as if confirming she hadn’t heard wrong. Then, her face lit up with joyful radiance, as this address made her feel immensely close and warm.

"Luo Chen, can you... can you say it again? I didn’t hear it clearly just now..." She timidly requested, her voice overflowing with infinite anticipation and excitement. She once thought there would be an estrangement between her and Luo Chen due to past misunderstandings, but it seemed those were no longer important. What mattered was they could interact as intimately as before.

Looking into her expectant eyes, Luo Chen couldn’t help but feel a warm stream surge in his heart. He took a deep breath and then clearly called out, "Sister Naxue."

This call seemed to open a window in Carefree Meng Lan’s heart. She was moved to tears, tightly embracing Luo Chen. "Luo Chen, you’re back, it’s truly wonderful!" Her voice was filled with endless emotion and joy.
