Douluo Continent: The Ice Dragon King Martial Soul, Ma Xiaotao is Addicted

Chapter 40: Living one day increases lifespan by 10 years.

Ma Xiaotao was already exhausted, and the constant use of her soul power to resist the erosion caused her to faint.

Although Ye Chen's acupuncture has a therapeutic effect, it is naturally far inferior to that of a healing-type Soul Master when it comes to large-area trauma.

Although Ye Chen had no medical means, he could still temporarily alleviate the injuries.

The next moment, Ye Chen gathered cold energy in his hand and applied it to Ma Xiaotao's wound, quickly freezing it.

Sure enough, as the extreme ice froze, the crimson substance's erosion of Ma Xiaotao's body stopped instantly.

Ye Chen reached out and peeled the frozen, blood-red substance off Ma Xiaotao's body.

The blood-red substance was almost fused with Ma Xiaotao's skin, and each peeling removed large pieces of flesh.

However, the wound was quickly covered by frost and stopped bleeding.

The Soul Emperor possesses a formidable physique, so losing some flesh and blood is of little consequence.

The blood-red substance was clearly the work of that evil spirit master.

"Sure enough, every evil spirit master is very powerful. If you're not careful, you might fall into their trap. No wonder Shrek Academy has such a high mortality rate..." Ye Chen was speechless.

Even Ma Xiaotao could fall into the trap if she wasn't careful.

Ye Chen breathed a sigh of relief after cleaning up the blood-red substance on Ma Xiaotao's back.

As long as the wound doesn't worsen, it's fine.

Immediately afterwards, Ye Chen thought of something else, took out a small piece of whale glue and stuffed it into Ma Xiaotao's mouth.

Whale gelatin has many benefits. It can improve physical fitness and quickly replenish the body's energy, which is very helpful for the recovery of injuries.

Of course, Ye Chen didn't dare give Ma Xiaotao too much food, lest something unexpected happen...

Ye Chen took Ma Xiaotao's pulse and confirmed that her blood and qi were gradually stabilizing and recovering before he felt relieved.

This indicates that Ma Xiaotao has no internal injuries and can recover as long as her external injuries are treated.

"Xiao Chen, are you alright?!"

"Junior, how is Xiao Tao?"

At this moment, Zhang Lexuan and Ling Luochen also arrived.

Upon seeing the unconscious Ma Xiaotao, both of them looked worried.

"It's alright, Sister Xiaotao was injured, but I froze the wound with ice. Now we need a healing-type Soul Master," Ye Chen said with a sigh of relief.

"Let's go back to the city. There's a Shrek Academy inspection team in the city, and each inspection team's stronghold is equipped with a healing-type Soul Master."

Zhang Lexuan quickly replied.

"it is good."

The three nodded.

Ye Chen and Zhang Lexuan left first.

Ling Luochen stayed behind to clean up the battlefield, check for any remaining survivors, and also search for victims, saving as many as possible.

……

……

……

In a courtyard in White Stone City, the door in the middle opened, and a beautiful young woman slowly walked out.

"How is she? Is Sister Tao alright?" Ye Chen asked hurriedly.

"Yes, it's just an external injury, nothing serious. However, my soul power is limited, so it will take quite some time to heal."

The beautiful young woman gave Ye Chen an apologetic look.

This is just a small branch of the Shrek Academy's supervisory group, and she is only a Soul Master. Healing a Soul Emperor is still very taxing.

"Excuse me."

Upon hearing this, Ye Chen breathed a slight sigh of relief.

Time is not an issue; the task is already completed, so there's plenty of time.

"It should be you who are inconveniencing us. Thank you for eliminating the evil spirit masters and maintaining the peace of White Stone City." The young woman bowed gracefully to Ye Chen and the others, her eyes full of gratitude.

That group of evil spirit masters wreaked havoc in the area surrounding White Stone City, causing the deaths of many infants and creating widespread panic.

Now that it has finally been eradicated, Whitestone City can finally have peace.

All of this was thanks to these Shrek students. Without them, when the Empire's experts arrived in a few months, all the babies in White Stone City would probably have been kidnapped.

……

……

From late at night until dawn, Ma Xiaotao's external injuries were finally mostly healed, but because she had lost too much flesh and blood, she still needed some time to recover.

The Soul Emperor possessed a powerful physique, and the remaining injuries were at most superficial and not serious.

However, Ma Xiaotao was too exhausted and remained fast asleep...

Zhang Lexuan has left, while Ye Chen remains by Ma Xiaotao's side.

"Sister Tao, you need to be more careful in battles in the future. You can't be so reckless."

Ye Chen stood beside Ma Xiaotao, playing with her soft little hands while muttering to himself.

He wasn't strong enough to protect Ma Xiaotao.

If his strength improves further, he can fight alongside Ma Xiaotao in the future. He can also keep an eye on Ma Xiaotao to prevent her from going too crazy in battle.

With Ma Xiaotao's strength, she could absolutely crush that Soul King evil soul master.

Moreover, Ma Xiaotao has ranged attack capabilities. Although the opponent is strong, he is ultimately only a Soul King. Ma Xiaotao can easily wear him down.

Unfortunately, Ma Xiaotao was blinded by anger and acted too recklessly. In order to kill her opponent, she chose to fight him in close combat, which is why she ended up in such a sorry state.

The most obvious characteristic of evil spirit masters is their high destructive power, as well as various methods of mutual destruction...

Ma Xiaotao definitely knew this, but still...

"Perhaps it's just his personality," Ye Chen sighed to himself.

It is precisely because of this personality that Ma Xiaotao is who she is, and that he likes her.

If Ma Xiaotao became timid and cautious, or clever and quick-witted, then she wouldn't be Ma Xiaotao anymore...

Silly people are cute.

"System, sign in."

Seeing that Ma Xiaotao was still not awake, Ye Chen simply signed in and saw if he could extract some healing energy from the medical room.

[Sign-in successful, reward: "Eternal Seed *1"]

[Seed of Eternity: Your vitality is greatly enhanced, increasing your lifespan by 10 years every day, stacking infinitely; you can consume lifespan to condense a "Seed of Life," which possesses powerful healing abilities and can also increase lifespan and reverse aging...]

……

"Wow, it really has healing abilities, and it even has the effects of a 'youth-preserving pill'!" Ye Chen's eyes lit up when he saw his reward.

Simply put, it means consuming one's own lifespan to quickly heal one's own and others' injuries.

If there are no injuries, then it is equivalent to a youth-preserving pill, which can increase the lifespan of the user. If lifespan is increased, then naturally it can make the body rejuvenate, reverse aging, and return to youth.

Ye Chen himself took it, and the lifespan conversion rate was 100%, meaning it could be completely absorbed.

If other people take it, the lifespan conversion rate should be lower, probably only around 90%, but that's still very good, rounded up to 100%.

Take one pill and you'll look a year younger.

If this elixir were put up for auction, countless elderly and frail noblewomen would fight tooth and nail for it, even at the cost of their entire fortunes!
Of course, ordinary noblewomen would never be able to get their hands on it, because this elixir is also useful to Soul Masters.

If those old hags who have lived to be a hundred years old knew this, they would definitely come out to snatch it.

Who knows, living a few more years might allow them to break through their current limitations again...

This pill is too precious, so Ye Chen must be careful and only use it on his own people. He must never let it be leaked.

Ye Chen is essentially a super healer right now, but it's a bit "exhausting".

Fortunately, this talent comes with a "life-restoring" function, accumulating 10 years of lifespan every day, which is equivalent to giving away "eternal life," making it very cost-effective.

With a slight thought, Ye Chen conjured a green bead the size of a grain of rice in his hand.

The beads are as soft as candy beans; though small, they contain a rich vitality.

This was condensed by Ye Chen at the cost of one year of his lifespan; it's unknown how effective it will be.

Ye Chen absorbed the bead back into his body, and his lifespan instantly returned without any loss.

Ye Chen glanced at Ma Xiaotao, deciding to wait until she woke up before using it, so he could better understand the healing effects of the Seed of Life.
