Jiang Yuan was heartbroken and shouted out loud because he was so emotional.
Hearing this voice made Ning Yanlan tense. She frowned and moved towards Jiang Yuan, "Jiang Yuan, are you alright?"
"No, no, no!" Jiang Yuan finally calmed down and immediately stopped Ning Yanlan when he saw her heavily injured body. "I was a little distracted just now, it's nothing serious!"
Jiang Yuan immediately interrupted his entry into the third stage. He was joking, he hadn't even activated his spirit yet, and entering super-energy overload again would really kill him, which is why he shouted out excitedly.
"Brother Jiang Yuan, I didn't expect you to be a practitioner of ancient martial arts!"
Through the corpse of the Holy Spirit Beast, Zhu Penghai spoke to Jiang Yuan.
Jiang Yuan raised an eyebrow and then said, "I don't know, what I mean by good health is this!"
"Indeed, his physique is excellent, comparable to a fifth-tier strength expert!" Zhu Penghai's voice wasn't loud, but it carried a hint of admiration. After this battle, he no longer dared to underestimate anyone.
This seemingly ordinary person can be so ruthless when he gets angry. He single-handedly restrained a seventh-tier holy spirit beast. Although the holy spirit beast was severely injured, it was still a genuine seventh-tier beast. The difference between them was worlds apart.
Ning Yanlan felt terrible when she heard people say she was in good health. Why don't you think of anything evil when you say you're in good health, but you become so lewd when I say I'm in good health? This is blatant sexism!
Jiang Yuan let out a heavy breath. Suddenly, he felt a warm sensation in his palm. He turned his head and saw a small golden ball.
Without much thought, Jiang Yuan immediately offered an appraisal.
"Beast Origin, Level: Perfect, Compatibility: 12%"
"Strange thing!" Jiang Yuan muttered. This thing must have fallen from the body of the Holy Spirit Beast. He looked at the incomplete information about the beast source and used a deeper level of identification again.
"Beast Source: Provides items for awakening the spirits of ancient divine beasts! (Note: The higher the compatibility, the greater the potential!)"
"What the hell? Is this for beasts?" Jiang Yuan was speechless. If you could give me something to use for spiritual awakening, that would be much better. Instead, you have to give me something impractical.
There was nothing Jiang Yuan could do but hide it quietly. Because of his special position, and because 99% of the credit for killing this holy beast belonged to him and Ning Yanlan, it was not unreasonable for him to take some things.
As his blood calmed down, the passive bloodlust also stopped working. However, after absorbing the blood energy of the Holy Spirit Beast, Jiang Yuan still recovered most of his strength. Moreover, his Great Wilderness Body Tempering Technique had reached the third level. However, because he had not yet awakened his spirit, he dared not advance to the third level. The last time, the super energy overload made him wish he were dead, and this time it was even the seventh level. This level of energy was completely overloaded, and he dared not try it without awakening his spirit.
As for the progress of Spirit Awakening, this time it was a leap in quantity, with the progress finally stopping at 824 per thousand.
It took them more than half an hour to be able to move. Surprisingly, Jiang Yuan was the first to stand up, which was unexpected by everyone, because Jiang Yuan was the most seriously injured among them. Although Zhu Penghai had lost an arm, his injury was far less serious than Jiang Yuan's.
Even so, Jiang Yuan was the first to regain mobility, which Zhu Penghai could only explain by calling him a 'mysterious ancient martial artist'.
Jiang Yuan walked towards Ning Yanlan first. When he felt that her body temperature was frighteningly low, he still did something that surprised even himself. He hugged her, and Ning Yanlan did not resist at all. The two just hugged each other tightly.
"Are you alright?" Jiang Yuan whispered close to her ear.
"It's a bit cold!" Ning Yanlan said, her teeth chattering.
Jiang Yuan smiled gently and teased, "You know what? I really thought I was going to have dinner with your black and white photo by candlelight tonight!"
Ning Yanlan pursed her lips and said, "People say that couples are like birds in the same forest, but they fly away separately when disaster strikes. Are we not pretending to be a good couple?"
"Well, I'll have to learn to fly first!" Jiang Yuan replied with a faint smile.
"Ha, Jiang Yuan, when are you going to be able to fly!" Ning Yanlan pressed her cold face against Jiang Yuan's, the temperature difference making it feel very comfortable.
"When you can fly!" Jiang Yuan said.
Ning Yanlan's eyes softened, this man had unknowingly entered her heart.
The two hugged for a long time. The frost made Jiang Yuan's muscles numb. Even though he knew Ning Yanlan was alright, he didn't want her to suffer alone.
"Cough cough!"
Only when three people were standing next to them did Ning Yanlan raise her head and say softly with a flushed face, "Jiang Yuan, let go!"
"Oh!" Jiang Yuan noticed the group and awkwardly let go.
"Why don't you hug each other a little longer!" Xiang Yeyun understood them very well, because sometimes when she was in a bad mood, she liked to hug Qian Kai all night.
"Ahem!" Jiang Yuan coughed awkwardly before standing up and asking, "Are you all alright?"
Xiang Yeyun looked at Zhou Guang's corpse and said dejectedly, "Another one dead!"
Despite his severe injuries, Qian Kai comforted him, saying, "It's all fate. We've done our best! We can only blame Zhou Guang for being unlucky!"
Zhu Penghai's expression was very solemn. "We've lost eleven people in our team so far, and now only the three of us are left. Perhaps I'm just not a good enough captain!"
"Jiang Yuan, I would like to invite you to join the team. I can hand over the captaincy!" Zhu Penghai looked sincerely at Jiang Yuan and Ning Yanlan. They had seen the potential of the two in this battle.
Seeing that Jiang Yuan and Ning Yanlan didn't react, Qian Kai also spoke up: "We are certified by the Crimson Blood Army and are a team allowed to leave the city. Once you join, we can go out of the city to hunt monsters!"
