I Am Also An Extraordinary Creature

Chapter 1582 - 1117: Just Want to Challenge Myself

"I’ll recover first..." Zheng Yichen instinctively wanted to raise his hand, but failed. He sighed and slowly stood up. The Essence of Life was completely consumed, but the Life Furnace still worked. He could feel his body recovering as he breathed.

But the Life Power generated now was just a drop in the ocean for his body. The aftermath of Oblivion made his ability to accept normal Life Power almost zero.

The Life Furnace worked more efficiently when his body was in a bad state, but no matter how high the efficiency in converting Life Power was, it was useless if his body couldn’t absorb it.

The massive amount of Life Power converted was released with each breath, leaving less than one ten-thousandth in the end.

This amount of Life Power could bring a freshly deceased person back to life, but it wasn’t much help for Zheng Yichen.

After taking two steps, Zheng Yichen felt like his body was going to fall apart: "I didn’t expect that at that moment, it was not the bonds but Dusk that awakened me..."

Enduring the discomfort in his body, Zheng Yichen tried to employ Life Creation to accelerate his body’s recovery, but right now, Life Creation seemed like water sealed in a container.

It was abundant, but the faucet was broken. His body was filled with Oblivion, pressing Life Creation firmly, rendering it almost useless. Zheng Yichen needed to repair his body bit by bit.

Allowing Life Creation to function little by little, gradually enlarging the buffering and counteracting effect against Oblivion.

And before that, Zheng Yichen had to endure.

Right now, he was truly severely injured; Regenerative Ability was useless, his body’s self-adjustment was out of control, unable to return to normal in a short time, stuck in its current state.

In this state, it was already fortunate for his body not to deteriorate further; if it continued to worsen, generally one could sum it up with a word—waiting to die.

The intense pain penetrating his soul was difficult to counteract. The physical pain, Zheng Yichen didn’t mind. As a seasoned fighter, he had a strong tolerance for physical pain.

Entities with strong Regenerative Ability generally weren’t afraid of pain; otherwise, the Regenerative Ability would be pointless.

But the soul’s agony was not something that could be adapted; it felt as if his soul was stuffed with shattered glass, and with every movement, he could hear the sound of friction in every part of his soul.

The fundamental pain infiltrating the individual made Zheng Yichen want to roll on the ground screaming, if not for the numerous Dusk nuns and Dusk mercenaries here.

Lilith and Tanshia Firlo were still watching him, or he would have been unable to resist doing so.

"I’m such a fool—ha~" Zheng Yichen forced himself to swallow back the words he wanted to say.

He noticed the strange looks from some Dusk mercenaries; the pain on his face made Zheng Yichen reach up to touch his face: "Have I lost my face??"

"... Boss, this should be because of your excessive use of Oblivion, causing some traces of yourself to be erased." Lilith quickly said, "These can be repaired once you return to normal."

"Got it, got it." Zheng Yichen suppressed the anticipated impatience and found Tia: "I need treatment!"

He no longer wanted to endure this continuous agony.

"130 merit points."

"Am I worth that much??" Zheng Yichen’s boiling emotions immediately calmed down, so this battle of his was a loss, wasn’t it?

"How many merit points can I get?"

"50."

"..." 50 merit points didn’t seem too little? Zheng Yichen found a place to sit down again. He felt he could endure it; at least it could hone his mental resolve.

Collecting his mental state, Zheng Yichen suppressed the agitation within and adapted to the unbearable pain, gradually activating the Life Creation suppressed by Oblivion.

"Go to your personal room." Tia’s voice came.

"I’m fine anywhere... I’ll go." Zheng Yichen stood up, striving to control the rampage within.

Though sometimes it’s better to release emotions, the tumultuous mental state now was caused by Oblivion, releasing the emotions brought on by Oblivion?

Would that mean next time he’d need to be even more reckless?

Normal emotions can be vented, but emotions brought by Oblivion must be controlled. If they aren’t controlled now, things will only get worse in the future.

"Also, for my equipment, how many merit points are needed for repair?"

"30 merit points."

"Ha~ that’s much cheaper than me; once the repairs are done, send them to my room—"

The things he needed to repair didn’t include weapons, as the fishing rod was transformed into God’s Core, almost impervious to damage.

Or rather, as long as he was alive, it would hardly be damaged, only being taken out during strengthening, with repair excluding the fishing rod.

But the cat spirit cloak and Firmament Wheel and similar equipment were different,

The equipment he was wearing all needed major repairs.

Fortunately, this wasn’t strengthening, with Dusk’s fees relatively... not expensive!

After returning to his exclusive room, Zheng Yichen felt his mental state a bit out of control. Missing arms, he couldn’t even hit anything; earlier, Tia had helped him take off his equipment.

"Fosterer—" In the exclusive room, Tanshia Firlo looked at Zheng Yichen with tearful eyes, holding the Holy Relic of Life, hoping to alleviate Zheng Yichen’s physical injuries.

But the Life Power infused into Zheng Yichen directly collapsed, the small white dragon tried to envelop Zheng Yichen with the Divine Domain, but the domain became unstable due to Zheng Yichen’s presence.

The Divine Domain barely lasted for half a minute before completely disintegrating. The small white dragon was confused, appearing somewhat aggrieved, as she had exerted all effort but to no avail.

"Half a minute is pretty good." Zheng Yichen forced a somewhat strained smile.

He was well aware of his current condition; now, he was essentially an Oblivion Radiation Source, with the influence of Oblivion concentrated within his body.

Once external forces exerted influence on him, Oblivion would follow the external influence and interact with the outside world, directly destroying the source of the external influence.

The small white dragon managing to persist for about half a minute in such circumstances was quite an impressive feat.

"And don’t look at me like that, I’ve won! Still standing here, not on the brink of death!"

"Brother Chang Qing... you should rest well." Liu Hongzhao’s expression was somber, as someone who cultivated the Blood Asura, she could sense the rampant demonic thoughts in Zheng Yichen’s voice.

Even if Zheng Yichen became mercurial and inhuman at this moment, she wouldn’t find it strange.

The girl was saddened by her inability to share this burden with him.

A high-level battle, was what Zheng Yichen experienced really a high-level battle?

"... I will. You all should go about your own activities! Help me receive the things Tia sends later!" Zheng Yichen sat down and decisively closed his eyes.

As long as he didn’t see anything tangible, what he felt was his body seemingly crushed by pain.

Constrain perception, abandon vision, the pitch-blackness made Zheng Yichen feel relatively at peace, he wanted to attempt to gradually ignite the inner Life Creation to eliminate the influence of Oblivion.

It’s not about merit points, mainly he wants to challenge himself...
