CHAPTER 27: CHAPTER 27: HEALING ABILITY HAS NO LIMIT?!

The sound of the door opening echoed, and several pairs of eyes simultaneously turned toward the entrance.

Ruan Li rushed to the sofa, and when she saw that lifeless, gray face, her steps slowly faltered until her trembling fingers touched his cold cheek, and immense panic completely occupied her heart.

The sleeping Beastman seemed to sense the touch of his Female Head, and his chest suddenly heaved violently a few times.

Gradually, without any buffer.

In everyone’s gaze, everything seemed to come to an abrupt halt.

The chest that lay flat showed no further changes.

Time and space were so silent in that instant.

Lu Mufeng had long been accustomed to scenes of parting and death, yet even so, he couldn’t help but feel regret that such a brave male Beastman had passed away like this.

He took off his military cap and observed a moment of silence.

The last tear slid from Shi Jue’s eye corner.

It disappeared with his final regret into the off-white sofa cushion.

Ruan Li pressed her palm to his forehead, desperately summoning the Life Force within her.

Suddenly, a bright pink orb appeared on Shi Jue’s forehead.

Ruan Li closed her eyes, thinking only of transferring her Life Force to Shi Jue, as long as his last breath hadn’t completely dissipated... there would definitely be hope!

The dense pink orb gradually radiated brilliant light under everyone’s gaze, suddenly releasing warm, gentle energy. With a pop, the sphere burst open, countless snowflake-like energy points floating suspended in the space-time continuum.

Bai He’s pupils constricted; he had never seen such a scene, never had any female’s healing process been so... unbelievable.

Like a deity descended from heaven.

Starlike energy touched his cheek, warm like the most primal security and happiness nurtured in the womb.

Nostalgia and yearning appeared in Bai He’s eyes, and before him floated the happiest and unforgettable times...

A long, long time ago, when the Heavenly Bird Clan occupied a kingdom, the young king had just ascended the throne and nurtured new life...

Xu Mo was dumbfounded when he saw this scene, his mind blank as he subconsciously reached out to touch the pink energy.

So warm, it made him want to cry.

He instinctively touched the corner of his eye, and realizing he hadn’t touched anything, he actually felt relieved.

Even Lu Mufeng was astonished by the scene before him.

What are these?

Could it all be the Life Force within Ruan Li?

He had never seen any female’s Life Force so rich and profound to this extent, not even Lan Xiang, the only female on the entire Planet with Level 8 Healing Ability, could achieve this extent.

Is Ruan Li really only Level 1 Healing Ability?

Lu Mufeng’s brows and eyes revealed doubt.

Numerous pink energies, after a brief pause, swept toward Shi Jue furiously like a storm, even entirely covering and encasing him.

In the dead silent space, almost everyone unconsciously held their breath.

Only the sound of Ruan Li, oblivious to everything with closed eyes, breathing could be heard.

Suddenly, without any warning, another breath was heard.

The two breaths crossed each other, one urgent, the other long and steady.

After four or five minutes, the light gradually faded. The previously blood-soaked and wounded Beastman’s body was now completely restored, leaving only pink-white scars visible amongst the tattered fabric.

The calm, rhythmic rise and fall of his chest proclaimed his extraordinary vitality.

Moreover, the beast pattern on his shoulder had increased from three stripes to seven!

"He leveled up?!" Shi Yu exclaimed in shock.

Even with energy absorbed from a Six-star Mutated Crystal Core, male Beastmen at most could reach full energy at Six-star superpower, never breaking through to Seven-star.

Could it be that Shi Jue experienced a near-death crisis, which led to his miraculous survival and breakthrough in superpower?

But this is too heaven-defying!

In the morning, he was a three-star mutated Beastman, and by afternoon, he became a seven-star mutated Beastman!

This was simply... so admirable that even jealousy couldn’t arise, leaving only pure respect.

After all, not everyone could live to completely absorb a Crystal Core.

Dense eyelashes fluttered, his pale cheeks returning to normal redness, and his dry lips trembled slightly.

Shi Jue slowly opened his eyes, knowing he must open them.

In a place of deathly silence, he helplessly realized he was drifting further from the sounds of reality, even losing warmth.

During the long wait, he even thought he was truly dead, but suddenly the eager and familiar sound broke the deathly silence.

His Female Head had come.

He kept running toward the source of the sound, only to find the road extremely long, but he never gave up.

Until he opened his eyes, he truly felt the sense of returning to life.

"...Ruan Li"

Female Head.

With a hoarse voice, he softly called her name.

Ruan Li opened her eyes likewise, full of joy upon surviving the calamity.

When she couldn’t enter Shi Jue’s mental world earlier, she had even prepared herself for the worst outcome at heart.

Fortunately, fortunately.

Ruan Li suddenly hugged Shi Jue, her emotions so intense that her voice choked, "Shi Jue, thank goodness you’re okay!"

Such an adorable little lion can’t be just lost like that.

"Mm."

The late-arriving medical team stood behind Lu Mufeng, "Marshal, this..."

Lu Mufeng didn’t want to disrupt their brief joy, "Let them calm down, then check both people’s physical conditions separately."

Shi Jue sat on the sofa, wearing a tattered set of dirty clothes, but his face showed no signs of fatigue or weakness from a serious illness.

Medical personnel used various instruments to examine him comprehensively, concluding: Shi Jue is very healthy, has excellent physical condition, stable Earth Ability, but the rapid increase in stars needs subsequent consolidation.

While the medical personnel examining Ruan Li had a serious expression, even repeatedly checked her physical condition.

Unable to hide the shock on his face, he reported to Lu Mufeng, "Marshal, this female, her physical condition is extremely excellent, her fertility ability is C-grade, the instrument detected her Healing Ability as only level two... But," his expression was vivid and colorful.

"But what?"

"The Life Force stored within her body... it’s positively infinite."

Lu Mufeng’s face rarely showed a hint of confusion, "Positively infinite?"

The medical personnel nodded and explained, "Yes, positively infinite. Usually, the Life Force stored within a female’s body at each level is limited, replenished only when a portion is consumed."

"But this female’s body... we cannot measure the specific value of the Life Force, as it’s far beyond the instrument’s detection range."

He even helpfully gave an analogy, "It’s like a piece of paper, with length and width. Upgrading increases length, but width is limited.

As for this female, we cannot calculate her width, even though her length is only two levels."

This is simply astonishing.

Even Ruan Li was bewildered.

The explanation was indeed easy to understand, but it seemed impossible for anyone’s body to have no upper limit.
