Chapter 1006 709: We Can Only Rely on Ourselves!
The battle ended.
Li Zheng's right arm was severed at the elbow, exposing pale white bones and bright red flesh, countless granulations sprouted from the break, quickly growing into a new arm.
He looked at the severed arm in surprise, pondering, "Arm regeneration... Is this one of the wonders brought by the Bone Marrow Cleansing Pill?"
If it was in the past, no matter how strong his self-healing Ability was, at most, it would only make wound recovery easier and faster.
But limb regeneration was absolutely impossible.
"That Passing Swift..." Ignoring the intense pain from the severed arm, Li Zheng turned his attention to the Bodhi Tree, striving to comprehend the final Sword Technique Zhan Zhouzhou used earlier.
At that time, there was nothing unusual at Zhan Zhouzhou's fingertips, even the metallic sheen from before had disappeared.
Yet the power was extraordinarily great!
Li Zheng also met it with a finger, resulting in his right arm crumbling and dissolving from the finger onwards, ground into flesh paste and bone powder by the power contained at Zhan Zhouzhou's fingertip.
It wasn't until half his arm was gone that Zhan Zhouzhou fainted from exhaustion.
Li Zheng felt somewhat afraid.
If Zhan Zhouzhou hadn't fainted, that finger would have taken more than just half his arm.
"This Passing Swift has a hint of that Space Annihilation version from the Dark Realm, just with nowhere near its power." Li Zheng looked at the fallen, pale-faced, barely breathing Zhan Zhouzhou, sighing, "She's truly a strong woman, what a monstrous Talent!"
Their relationship was good, and they wouldn't usually fight to this extent.
But Zhan Zhouzhou was inherently strong-headed, unable to accept failure, finally using a Sword Technique she couldn't control, injuring the enemy by a thousand but harming herself by eight hundred.
Li Zheng looked at his severed arm, feeling no resentment.
Because Zhan Zhouzhou used the move face-to-face, giving him an opportunity to comprehend it.
If he could observe it more in the future, even experience it more as an opponent, stealing... no, completely replicating the move shouldn't be difficult.
He bent down, picking up Zhan Zhouzhou with his one arm.
The woman's body was soft, as if boneless.
The unconscious Zhan Zhouzhou had none of her usual strength, her pale face showing a rare fragility.
"After all, she's still a girl, to have achieved this..." Li Zheng admired sincerely, "Outshining so many men."
He walked to the Gravity Room's entrance, placing Zhan Zhouzhou in Mirel's arms, then his eyes rolled up, and he fainted.
"Li Zheng!"
"Dad!"
"Pathfinder..."
A few calls sounded by his ear, consciousness seemed to float far away, even the Spiritual Body separated from the Bodhi Tree closed its eyes, falling into a faint.
When Li Zheng awoke again, the first thing he did was move his right hand, finding it had regrown, indistinguishable from before it was severed.
"..." Li Zheng stared blankly at his newly regrown arm, suddenly thinking, "If other clones lose limbs, couldn't they just take mine and transplant them?"
Thinking about it sent a chill down his spine.
"You're awake." Zhan Zhouzhou's slightly apologetic voice came, Li Zheng looked up, finding himself lying in a stark white room, on a cold hard medical bed, surrounded by many complex instruments and equipment.
"Where is this?"
"This is a sterile medical room of the Gravity Research Institute. Although your arm is regenerating, the professors feel more assured placing you here." Zhan Zhouzhou explained.
"Where are Mirel and the others?" Li Zheng got up from the medical bed, having only lost an arm and was somewhat exhausted, after this period of rest and arm regeneration, he had returned to peak condition.
In comparison, Zhan Zhouzhou was in worse condition. She hadn't taken a Bone Marrow Cleansing Pill, her Physique wasn't as good as Li Zheng's, her face still held a trace of paleness.
"It's two in the morning now, they should have gone back to rest." Zhan Zhouzhou pointed behind her, saying, "I just woke up not long ago, the professors and Feng Yue left after I woke up."
"Alright." Li Zheng took out a Bone Marrow Cleansing Pill from the capsule and handed it to Zhan Zhouzhou, "Here, take it."
"What's this?" Zhan Zhouzhou glanced at it, and Prel's Eye gave a hint: "Bone Marrow Cleansing Pill?"
She raised her brows: "Something you made? What's with such a fantasy name? Have you been reading too many novels!?"
Li Zheng's face darkened: "I'm giving you something good, and you can't say anything nice?"
"Hehe, it's a habit." Zhan Zhouzhou laughed awkwardly, threw the Bone Marrow Cleansing Pill into her mouth, swallowed and said, "I've always bantered with you like this, asking me to change, I really can't do it right away."
Li Zheng puzzled, "I remember you don't do this with others, why do you always go against me? Is it because the Flame Flower I sold you burned off your hair?"
Mentioning this, Zhan Zhouzhou's face darkened for a moment, she raised her hand to touch her current short hair: "You have the nerve to mention, it's been so long, and my hair has only grown this much... Wait!"
She suddenly looked at Li Zheng in surprise: "When did your hair grow back? Even eyebrows and such have regrown! Weren't your pores burned away?"
"The Bone Marrow Cleansing Pill you just took improves Physique." Li Zheng explained, "This thing is different from the Genetic Potion, the Genetic Potion fills in information on the Genetic Chain, while the Bone Marrow Cleansing Pill... seems to change something more fundamental, my limb regeneration is also thanks to the Bone Marrow Cleansing Pill."
"Is it that magical?" Zhan Zhouzhou exclaimed, "You actually gave such a good thing to me? So generous."
"Haha..." Li Zheng laughed dryly twice, saying, "Don't get too happy, it takes five Bone Marrow Cleansing Pills to reach perfect effectiveness, I only have two left, you don't have limb regeneration ability yet, don't mess around in battles."
He didn't mention that he was copying Zhan Zhouzhou's Skills through the Bodhi Tree, and giving her the Bone Marrow Cleansing Pill was just to thank her.
"Hmm." Zhan Zhouzhou felt herself, not sensing any change: "It seems it hasn't started working yet?"
"The first Bone Marrow Cleansing Pill takes time to digest, producing the first wave of medicinal power within eight hours. In the future, your recovery speed will be much faster than others." Li Zheng said, "Also, aren't you training in the Gravity Research Institute? The Bone Marrow Cleansing Pill will help you adapt to high gravity environments more quickly."
"Aren't you afraid I'll surpass you too fast?" Zhan Zhouzhou laughed, "You wouldn't like being surpassed by a woman, would you? Especially when the woman is me."
"Ahem..."
Zhan Zhouzhou's words were somewhat ambiguous, and for a moment, Li Zheng thought the wrong thing, quickly pulling his thoughts back: "Why would I dislike it? Your getting stronger is a good thing for everyone."
He said solemnly, "This time you went to the Anger Sin Domain, you should have seen the Outer City residents' nature there, right? Blue Star Players can't provide any assistance in the Final Battle, everything depends on us."
