Chapter One Hundred Sixty-Four Are You Kidding Me?
------------
After the Heaven and Earth Spiritual Energy occupied most of the meridians and blood vessels in his body, even moving a little felt incredibly difficult for Ye Huan. Despite his most intense struggles, he could only manage to make his right pinky finger twitch slightly, which was utterly ineffective. There was no way he could notify Zuo Yi and the others in Tianyue City. The only thing he could do now was pray, hoping that when his body exploded, it wouldn't affect the entire Tianyue City. Otherwise, it would undoubtedly be a tremendous disaster for a city he had just conquered a few days ago.
Perhaps Ye Huan's selfless actions before death moved the heavens, or maybe it was just not the right time for him to visit the King of Hell. Just as Ye Huan had resigned himself to his fate, he suddenly realized that the Heaven and Earth Spiritual Energy flowing from Ye Luo had gradually stopped pouring into him!
This discovery instantly filled Ye Huan with joy. He hurriedly used his Golden Core to expel all the Heaven and Earth Spiritual Energy from his body. Since there wasn't much of it, he wasn't worried about causing any impact around him.
As the Heaven and Earth Spiritual Energy gradually disappeared from Ye Huan's body, he instinctively tried to move. To his surprise, he clearly felt that after a large amount of Heaven and Earth Spiritual Energy had congested in his meridians and blood vessels, they had expanded by at least twenty percent.
Ye Huan didn't know what consequences would come from having enlarged blood vessels, but the expansion of his meridians meant that the Heaven and Earth Spiritual Energy emitted by his Golden Core would strengthen his body even more than before. Even using a Flying Sword would likely be faster than ever. Yu Wuxia once said, "The various techniques of a Cultivator are all transmitted through the body's meridians using Heaven and Earth Spiritual Energy. The more energy transmitted, the stronger the technique." It was easy to imagine how much benefit Ye Huan had gained this time. Coupled with the fact that his summoner level had risen to six, if one were to describe Ye Huan in four words, it would be "blessed by misfortune"!
With a silly grin on his face, Ye Huan felt as if he were dreaming. Not only was he alive, but he had also gained an increase in strength. Who would believe it if he told them? Yet this was precisely what had happened! However, this excitement didn't last long for Ye Huan. As he gradually calmed down, he couldn't be bothered to check what new Arms had appeared on the Summoning Book; instead, a question suddenly pierced through his mind.
Ye Huan knew better than anyone else how much Heaven and Earth Spiritual Energy was inside Ye Luo. After absorbing it earlier, there was no way that what remained in Ye Luo could even fill one arm's worth of energy. So why did the transmission of Heaven and Earth Spiritual Energy suddenly stop halfway?
Furrowing his brows, after replenishing both the Summoning Book and Dantian with Heaven and Earth Spiritual Energy, Ye Huan sent another thread of energy into Ye Luo's body. To his astonishment, he found that all the Heaven and Earth Spiritual Energy in Ye Luo's left arm had completely vanished. In contrast, a large amount of Heaven and Earth Spiritual Energy still remained in Ye Luo's right arm and legs, untouched.
"There's still so much?"
Ye Huan almost gasped in realization. He finally understood why he had not perished from the overwhelming force of Heaven and Earth Spiritual Energy. It turned out that within Ye Luo's body, each portion of the Heaven and Earth Spiritual Energy was isolated from one another. To resolve this, Ye Huan would have to absorb all of the Heaven and Earth Spiritual Energy within Ye Luo at once. Otherwise, he could only do it bit by bit. Although the progress was slow, it was certainly better than dying from the overwhelming force.
Having figured this out, Ye Huan did not rush to act again. Instead, he leaned over Ye Luo's head and made eye contact with him, softly asking, "Ye Butler, can you move your right arm now?"
Ye Luo blinked at Ye Huan. He had already known that Ye Huan began absorbing the Heaven and Earth Spiritual Energy within him. The reason his right arm had not moved until now was that he was worried about affecting Ye Huan's actions on his body. However, upon hearing Ye Huan's question, he cast aside his concerns and slowly raised his right arm, proving that Ye Huan's efforts had not been in vain; he could move his arm now.
Seeing Ye Luo's arm move brought a sigh of relief to Ye Huan. He then said to Ye Luo, "Ye Butler, absorbing the Heaven and Earth Spiritual Energy from your right arm has pushed me to my limit for now. But don't worry; after a short rest, I will help you remove the restraints on your body one by one."
After speaking, Ye Huan did not dare waste any time. He hurried to a corner and began consuming the Heaven and Earth Spiritual Energy in his Dantian again, completely oblivious to the look of disbelief in Ye Tian's eyes.
Others might not know how much Heaven and Earth Spiritual Energy was within Ye Luo's right arm, but as the person involved, Ye Luo was well aware. The amount of Heaven and Earth Spiritual Energy in his right arm was likely beyond what he could absorb himself; how could anyone else? If Ye Luo remembered correctly, the last time he saw Ye Huan in Northern Liang City, Ye Huan was merely a Third-Rank Summoner. Since when could a Third-Rank Summoner absorb such a vast amount of Heaven and Earth Spiritual Energy that even an Eighth-Level Warrior could not?
Ye Luo believed that Ye Huan had drawn out the Heaven and Earth Spiritual Energy from his body into the air, but when Ye Huan claimed to have absorbed it himself, doubt crept in. Yet as thoughts swirled in his mind—especially recalling how Ye Huan had rescued him from the Underground Maze in Willow Village—it became clear that such feats were beyond what a mere Third-Rank Summoner could accomplish. However, with no way to voice his doubts, he could only suppress them deep within.
On the other hand, consuming the Heaven and Earth Spiritual Energy within him posed no challenge for Ye Huan. However, just as he was about to start consuming the energy from the Summoning Book, he paused. An idea struck him: perhaps he should let others absorb some of the Heaven and Earth Spiritual Energy within Ye Luo. After all, China was currently facing turbulent times and needed capable individuals. If there were a group of three hundred people who were all above Level Five warriors, their impact in the upcoming battles would far exceed what Ye Huan alone could achieve—not to mention their ability to intimidate enemies and boost troop morale.
Considering this possibility made up his mind quickly. He didn’t even check what new weapons might have appeared in the Summoning Book since becoming a Sixth-Level Summoner; instead, he hurriedly left to find Zuo Yi, who had just disbanded the Dragon Hall members, asking him to gather them all back together.
Upon hearing what Ye Huan said, Zuo Yi was clearly furious. He glared at Ye Huan and exclaimed, "Ye Huan, are you kidding me? I just disbanded them! And now you want me to gather them all back?"
