Chapter 98: Fattened by Others

In the magnetic field, Mu Hui trembled all over, his flesh slowly peeling off.

At this state, his mental martial soul could no longer function, and he couldn't even shout a roar.

It was at this moment that Shi Yan entered the magnetic field, his fingers like spears, directly stabbing Mu Hui's neck.

"Poof!"

Mu Hui's neck spurted blood like a fountain, his cervical vertebrae snapped, and he died a tragic death in the field.

The essence from Mu Hui's body flowed into Shi Yan's 720 acupoints without a single bit missing.

Mu Hui was also at the third heaven of the Human Rank, but his essence was much more substantial than that of martial artists of the same realm.

The time Shi Yan spent absorbing his power was dozens of seconds longer than the average person.

Soon, Mu Hui turned into a mummy, his entire aura gone, and he fell to the ground.

Shi Yan's expression was calm, his eyes closed, feeling the essence from Mu Hui, sensing the changes in his acupoints, and slowly sitting down on the ground.

His acupoints ached, the essence of many martial artists surging in, causing his acupoints to throb faintly. Various negative energies continuously impacted his body, stirring within his mind.

However, for some reason, the backlash in his body this time was not particularly fierce or crazy.

Calmly, he calmed down, dispelling the berserk state. Shi Yan found that although his body ached, the negative emotions that surged out did not overwhelm his mind, pushing him into a state of berserk slaughter.

With his eyes closed, he calmed his mind, sensing the purification of negative energy in his acupoints, and quietly sought the root cause.

A change in the mind!

After a while, a flash of inspiration crossed Shi Yan's mind, and he suddenly had an answer.

During the battle with Mu Hui, this person's mental martial soul often played a strange role, repeatedly trying to drag Shi Yan's mind into a dark abyss, making him a captive of his mental power.

Every time that happened, the various negative and dark emotions in Shi Yan's body would suddenly erupt.

Those negative emotions, like lightning, rushed to the depths of his mind, forcibly pulling his reason out of the dark abyss, instantly freeing him from the constraints of Mu Hui's mental martial soul.

Because of Mu Hui's mental martial soul, those negative emotions repeatedly erupted, stirring the dark and evil negative energy on Mu Hui's mental martial soul. In the confrontation with Mu Hui's mental constraints, the negative emotions that should have overwhelmed Shi Yan's mind were mostly consumed by Mu Hui's mental constraints.

Those violent negative emotions, which should have plunged Shi Yan into an irredeemable state, instead became assistants in resisting Mu Hui's mental constraints!

In other words, Mu Hui's mental martial soul actually neutralized the negative emotions that could destroy Shi Yan's mind, helping him to break free.

A series of thoughts flashed through his mind, and Shi Yan accurately grasped the key, confirming that the reason he was not overwhelmed by the negative emotions was due to Mu Hui's mental martial soul's repeated attacks.

Deep in his heart, there were also violent and bloodthirsty thoughts spreading, but these thoughts were not very strong. With his strong willpower, Shi Yan did not fall into a state of berserk slaughter.

Understanding this, he put his mind at ease and quietly circulated his essence.

After an unknown amount of time, the pain in his acupoints suddenly intensified!

In a heart-wrenching pain, a pure and strange force slowly flowed out of his acupoints, turning into warm currents wandering through his body.

The essence of many Human Rank martial artists, after transformation, was quite significant. Most of the strange force wandered through Shi Yan's entire body, disappearing in his flesh, bones, tendons, and internal organs. Only a small part gathered at his sea of qi, making his essence much thicker and stronger.

With a clear mind, Shi Yan did not focus on the changes in his essence but immersed his mind in his flesh, bones, and tendons.

He could clearly feel that those mysterious forces, like magical nutrients, were slowly nourishing his entire body in a way he could not understand...

During this process, Shi Yan felt as if he were bathing in a mysterious hot spring, every pore relaxing and absorbing the magical nutrients, his body quietly changing...

Those mysterious forces wandered through his tendons, disappeared in his bones and flesh, took root in his internal organs, and settled in his skull...

He carefully sensed.

It was not the petrification martial soul!

Shi Yan's mind was clear, immediately realizing that this mysterious force was not nourishing his petrification martial soul.

It was the undying martial soul!

A realization dawned on him, and Shi Yan suddenly opened his eyes, staring at his right arm.

The right arm, which had been struck by the Nether Spirit Blade, had a deep wound, but at this moment, the flesh in the wound was slowly moving, healing at a visible speed!

The flesh and tendons seemed to have a life of their own!

Under Shi Yan's gaze, the two-centimeter-deep wound gradually healed, the flesh connected, cells merged, the wound slowly contracted, and eventually disappeared.

Ten minutes!

In just ten minutes, the two-centimeter-deep wound had completely healed, leaving no trace.

The part of the right arm where the wound was, was smooth like a mirror, with no fine lines, no bloodstains! It was as if he had never been injured ten minutes ago!

Shi Yan moved his right arm, finding no pain at all, and no abnormality, feeling exactly the same as his left arm.

Shi Yan's eyes sparkled, his face filled with uncontrollable joy.

In just ten minutes, such a deep wound had healed completely! No pain, no discomfort, when did the undying martial soul become so powerful?

Shi Yan clearly remembered that his wounds used to heal much slower!

In the past, even if the wound healed, there would still be some discomfort and pain, and it would take at least half a day to fully recover.

This time, it only took ten minutes!

The undying martial soul had entered a new stage! Realizing this, Shi Yan immediately grasped the key.

The miraculous advancement of the petrification martial soul reminded him that after absorbing so much essence, those strange forces, like they did with the petrification martial soul, had also catalyzed the undying martial soul, pushing it into a new stage!

No wonder so much of the strange force had flowed into his entire body, nourishing his flesh, tendons, bones, and internal organs. It turned out that this time, the strange force was nourishing the undying martial soul.

Everything became clear.

Shi Yan's face was filled with joy as he carefully sensed the changes in his body. After a long time, he calmed down and continued to sit there, circulating his essence.

The essence in his sea of qi also absorbed some of the strange force. At this moment, under his mental control, the thickened essence slowly flowed through his tendons.

After each major cycle, the most refined essence in his sea of qi became more condensed.

Gradually, the essence condensed into a dazzling light ball. As the major cycle continued, the light ball's size gradually shrank, but the power it contained did not decrease but increased!

Shi Yan's heart was filled with joy.

The change in the essence light ball was a special sign of breaking through from the first heaven to the second or third heaven of the Human Rank!

Starting from the first heaven of the Human Rank, every time a small realm was broken through, the size of the essence light ball in the sea of qi would shrink, but the power it contained would become stronger!

This was a process of refining and condensing.

Only by repeatedly refining and condensing could the impurities in the essence light ball be removed, and only then would the essence become purer, and the power it contained would naturally increase.

Realizing that this was a good opportunity to break through from the first heaven to the second heaven of the Human Rank, Shi Yan did not hesitate and focused on driving the essence.

He repeatedly performed the major cycle, refining the essence, reducing the impurities in the essence, and making it purer...

In the strange space, there was no concept of time.

After an unknown amount of time, the essence light ball in Shi Yan's sea of qi, which was originally the size of a fist, had shrunk by half, now the size of a peach.

However, the thickness of the essence had increased by thirty percent!

Not only that, but the purer essence flowed through his body almost twice as fast!

With a mental command, a thread of essence emerged from his fingertips, shining brightly, with a faint crystalline color, like some mysterious crystal.

Shi Yan's expression was joyful, his smile gradually widening as he looked at the crystalline essence...

The second heaven of the Human Rank!

Shi Yan suddenly stood up, feeling refreshed and invigorated, his body filled with boundless strength.

This time, the Nether Spirit martial artists truly fattened him up, not only advancing his undying martial soul to a new stage but also pushing him one step closer to the peak of martial arts, entering the second heaven of the Human Rank.

"Thump! Thump thump!"

The Yin Zhu in the Shenque, Tianque, and Yindu acupoints suddenly jumped violently! This time, the frequency of the Yin Zhu's jumping was much faster than usual! The summoning force from the statue's heart was also much stronger!

His heart moved, and Shi Yan couldn't help but look far into the starlight gathering place, only to find that the starlight in the sky seemed to have become chaotic, like fireflies wandering in that area, but not flowing into the mysterious place again.

There was a change!

Shi Yan frowned, sensing something amiss from the abnormal movement of the Yin Zhu in his chest and the starlight.

"Thump! Thump thump! Thump thump thump!"

The Yin Zhu jumped even more vigorously, as if urgently urging him to hurry to that area, where something seemed to be eagerly waiting for him.

"Boom! Boom!"

Huge explosions, though thousands of miles away, still stubbornly reached him.

The Shenque, Tianque, and Yindu acupoints in Shi Yan's chest suddenly ached, as if someone was striking his acupoints, making his body feel extremely uncomfortable.

Not daring to hesitate, Shi Yan took a deep breath and rushed over at the fastest speed.
