Visible to the naked eye, Wu Changkong's limbs, which were lost and had become a blur of flesh and blood, began to sprout new flesh, and in a short time, it started to come together...
In just a few minutes, an arm was successfully conjured, indistinguishable from that of a normal person!
Tang Wulin said with fiery enthusiasm, "It... it worked! The Immortal Herb really is effective, Teacher Wu has regrown an arm!!"
This meant that the other Immortal Herbs could also be used with confidence, just as their effects echoed in his mind!
Beside him, Xu Xiaoyan excitedly said, "Mm-hm! I never thought the Skyward Chrysanthemum would be so potent, capable not only of healing bodily injuries but also of reconstructing lost flesh."
Xie Xie, stroking his chin in thought, said, "It's impressive, but... can they only grow one by one? After all, having just one arm looks rather comical!"
Ye Xinglan pursed her lips and said, "Xie Xie, you really dare to say anything, aren't you afraid that Teacher Wu might suddenly wake up?"
Xu Lizhi also admonished, nostrils flaring, "Yeah, Xie Xie, Teacher Wu ended up like this because of us, how can you be so ungrateful!"
Yuanen Yehui said coldly, "Xie Xie, that remark of yours is really a bit too much!"
Xie Xie, scratching his head awkwardly, said, "Well, everyone, I didn't mean it, isn't this all in hopes that Teacher Wu would recover faster..."
Better keep quiet, he thought, or else if he angered everyone again, he wouldn't get off easy!
After another half an hour or so, Wu Changkong's limbs had completely regrown, showing no sign of ever having been severely injured!
And his consciousness, which had been in deep slumber, was successfully awakened...
Slowly opening his pale blue eyes, Wu Changkong surveyed his surroundings and instinctively asked, "Where is this?"
Tang Wulin approached, concern in his voice, "Teacher Wu, you're awake? How do you feel?"
Hearing his words and seeing the likes of Xie Xie and the others, Wu Changkong's brow furrowed slightly, "Wulin? Why are you here? Could it be that you've been captured by those Evil Soul Masters too..."
Tang Wulin chuckled softly and patiently explained, "No, Teacher Wu, the Evil Soul Master is no more. You are within the Icefire Polarized Eyes right now!"
Ye Xinglan added, "That's right, Wulin gave you an Immortal Herb called Skyward Chrysanthemum, which successfully healed your injuries."
She paused, then continued, "It also regrew the limbs you lost in the explosion!"
Wu Changkong nodded thoughtfully, looking at Tang Wulin with gratification, "I see, thank you, Wulin."
If it weren't for this child, he thought, would I have already perished?
However, there was still a question in his heart...
If the Title Douluo level Evil Soul Master has perished in the violent explosion, how did I survive?
Wait...
Could it be...
His pale blue eyes flickered as if he had realized something...
Suddenly, Xie Xie spoke, interrupting his train of thought, "Teacher Wu, try and see if you can stand up?"
Wu Changkong heard this and used his Soul Power to sense the condition within his body...
Then, he shook his head, "I can't, the limbs have been reconstructed, but the meridians are not fully connected yet. I need to wait some more time!"
Tang Wulin pressed his thin lips together, "Is that so? Well, that's okay. While Teacher Wu is recovering, the rest of you can take turns absorbing the Immortal Herbs I've selected for you!"
"Especially Ye Hui, Yue Zhengyu, and Xiao Yan. It should help you recover the soul power levels you've lost and perhaps even break through by a few levels!"
How could the rest of the Shrek Seven Monsters resist such a temptation? They all sat down cross-legged without hesitation...
Swiftly consuming the Immortal Herb, he circulated his Soul Power to ensure the medicine's effects were perfectly released within his body!
Tasked with protection, Tang Wulin turned to Wu Changkong beside him and asked, "Teacher Wu, after you recover, will we head straight back to the academy?"
Taking a deep breath, Wu Changkong responded, "No... My task isn't just to protect all of you, but also to investigate something!"
Seeing this, Tang Wulin's face revealed a look of confusion...
After glancing at the former, Wu Changkong continued, "According to the secret texts of Tang Sect, within the Icefire Polarized Eyes there should be no fewer than six ferocious beasts guarding it, all transformed from Immortal Herbs!
"Now, it is not only the Holy Spirit Cult's Evil Soul Masters, or even us, who have been able to enter easily, something must have happened!"
He belonged to Shrek Academy and was also part of Tang Sect!
After this journey ends, he would report the situation of the Icefire Polarized Eyes back to the Tang Sect's higher-ups for re-evaluation and management!
Tang Wulin pondered, "Could it be that those six ferocious beasts have been slain by the Evil Soul Masters we just encountered?"
Wu Changkong immediately refuted, "Impossible! The Dark Bell is strong, but it wouldn't have a chance against six ferocious beasts at the same time!"
Tang Wulin didn't delve further, saying earnestly, "I understand! Teacher Wu, after we absorb the Immortal Herbs, we will join you in the investigation!"
As a member of Tang Sect, he too had such a duty!!
...
Shrek Academy, Sea God's Pavilion!
Cai Yue'er spoke with a grave expression, "Just now, we received news from Wu Changkong and the others. On their way to find the Icefire Polarized Eyes, they encountered a team from the Holy Spirit Cult!"
"Moreover, leading them was one of the Four Great Kings of the Holy Spirit Cult, the Dark Bell, who has already broken through to the level-99 Ultimate Douluo!!"
As soon as these words were spoken, the faces of all the Elders changed drastically...
Feng Wu Yu clenched his teeth and said, "What? Doesn't that mean Changkong and the others could have already..."
Turbid World also clenched his fists, "Facing an Ultimate Douluo, even we Elders of Sea God Pavilion would find it troublesome. If Changkong and the others encountered one, there's simply no chance of survival!"
Ya Li slowly closed her beautiful eyes, agonizingly stating, "Could it be... that heaven wishes to destroy Shrek Academy?"
Long Yeyue, however, could only sigh helplessly, "Ah..."
Tang Yinmeng and Lan Muzi chose silence...
Seeing this, Cai Yue'er said, "Elders, there's no need to be so pessimistic. Nanali did not personally take action against Changkong and the others!"
Turbid World was startled and asked, puzzled, "Elder Cai, what do you mean? The Holy Spirit Cult and Shrek Academy are like fire and water, how could they possibly spare each other!"
Cai Yue'er smiled bitterly and shook her head, "I'm not too clear on the specifics, but what's certain is that during the encounter, the Dark Bell did not show the slightest intent to kill!"
Feng Wu Yu narrowed his eyes and said, "Does it mean... that this Dark Bell still retains a side of kindness?"
Long Yeyue shook her head, "Kindness is probably out of the question, but... it's most likely the only Evil Soul Master within the Holy Spirit Cult whose mind has not been completely corrupted by the Evil Martial Soul!"
If one possesses an Evil Martial Soul and willingly joined the Holy Spirit Cult, they can't be associated with the word 'kindness'!
Ya Li breathed a sigh of relief internally, "Regardless of the process, it's good news that Changkong and the others were able to survive in the end!"
