When the battle ended, the Blood Lotus stopped, and the thousand snow lotuses began to return one-tenth of their blood energy.
Jiang Yuan had no idea what the blood energy was for before, but he was shocked when it returned.
Breakthrough in realm, True Spirit Realm Stage Two!
The energy in his personal space increased, enough to fertilize at least a hundred acres of spiritual fields for a whole week.
His internal injuries are also recovering rapidly. Except for the injury caused by the queen bee's self-destructing stinger, which has not yet healed, everything else is fully healed.
"The Will of Death!"
Jiang Yuan had not forgotten his purpose this time; he had come to investigate the Beast King Project, so he immediately chose to search the soul of the Bee Queen's mark of death.
Ordinary undead cannot stop the will of death, and soon clues about the Beast King's plan surfaced in Jiang Yuan's mind.
"The remains of the Beast King, the blood of living beings, and the souls of ten thousand beasts!"
These three words appeared with extremely high frequency in the Queen Bee's memory and were also the core content of the Beast King Project. Jiang Yuan read through his memories several times before he could figure out the whole Beast King Project.
In the previous battle, a Beast King fell in Seoul and is now buried in a corner of Seoul. On the night of the cataclysm, an extremely powerful energy fell into it, becoming the foundation for its resurrection. Therefore, the Beastmen plan to revive this skeleton and let it lead the Beastmen back to the top.
As for the Blood of Living Beings and the Soul of Ten Thousand Beasts? The Blood of Living Beings is the essence of life, something that all living beings possess. However, the stronger and more talented the being, the more Blood of Living Beings it provides, thus offering more nourishment for the Beast King's remains. Then there's the Soul of Ten Thousand Beasts, which involves internal matters of the beast race. Since the Beast King's remains are dead, the beast race must find someone to control them, and the Soul of Ten Thousand Beasts is the best candidate. The beast race will hold a gladiatorial arena where one hundred beast kings will duel, and the one who survives will inherit the will of the other ninety-nine and become the master of the Beast King's remains.
"Phew, I never expected to be caught up in another vortex without even realizing it!" Jiang Yuan sighed.
The queen bee was originally one of these hundred beast kings, but he killed her.
"You said we had no grudge against each other, yet I wiped out your entire clan for no reason!"
Standing amidst this sea of flowers, Jiang Yuan could vaguely sense the death wish of the millions of people in the Southern City back then—the hatred of their annihilation.
He sighed, then drew out a stream of energy from the Reincarnation Space and sent it into the spiritual field in his personal space.
"Although we have different positions, I'm giving you a chance!"
Thirteen thousand Dead Marks disappeared, which was the total number of the entire Stinger bee swarm. He then incorporated all of these Dead Marks into the Queen Bee's Reincarnation Mark.
A bee colony originates from the queen bee and ends with the queen bee.
Inside Jiang Yuan's personal space, a frail bee appeared, marking the first life form within the space.
The cycle of reincarnation, the profound mysteries of life and death—this was his first attempt.
After doing all this, Jiang Yuan felt dizzy. He knew that it was the side effect of the queen bee exploding her stinger before she died.
The queen bee's stinger doesn't contain any poison; it's pure soul poison, a curse cast by the entire swarm on Jiang Yuan. In the next few days, he will suffer the torment of soul branding.
"Damn it, I only have one Heaven-Mending Soul left. This poison will cause me tremendous damage!"
"Looks like I need to find a place to rest and recuperate!"
Jiang Yuan opened his smart device and sent a message to Gu Anlei.
...
"Halt! Please show your identification."
Jiang Yuan's vision was already blurred, and because of the power of the Ten Thousand Poison Needles, all his pores were swelling.
"Students of Huasheng Academy!"
Jiang Yuan only managed to utter this last sentence before collapsing with a thud.
Just as he was about to collapse, Gu Anlei, who had been waiting for a long time, finally ran out and caught him in time.
"Excuse me, he's my friend!" Gu Anlei was shocked to see Jiang Yuan so badly injured. She was one of the few people who knew Jiang Yuan's abilities best and knew very well that no ordinary person could hurt such a monster to this extent.
"Friend? Which college is he from?" The captain of the guards was reluctant to let Jiang Yuan in, because although everyone was a freshman at Huasheng Academy, they were currently in the assessment period, and people from different colleges coming in would only affect their grades.
"Here are my points, okay?"
Without hesitation, Gu Anlei took off her school badge and tossed it to the guard captain.
"Great, it's almost as good as the Mithril school badge!"
Upon receiving the school badge, the guard captain couldn't help but beam with joy. He abandoned his previous coldness and said generously, "Since we're all from the same academy, let's go in!"
The guard waved his hand, transferred all of Gu Anlei's points, returned the school badge to her, and then gestured for them to go in.
"You usually eat so well, now you're so heavy I can barely carry you!"
Gu Anlei used all her strength to carry Jiang Yuan on her back before bringing him into the East Third District.
