Reborn as the Candle Dragon, I became the strongest academy guardian beast.

Ningchuan City.

The old town, the underground black market.

A middle-aged man in a dirty white coat threw a bag of cash on the table and scribbled a few lines in his notebook without looking up:

"You sold a kidney, a liver, a gallbladder, and a cornea, for a total of 300,000. Take it."

A thin young man picked up the bag, checked it to make sure it was safe, coughed weakly a few times, and walked out of the clinic.

The young man limped into the dark alley and passed through one intersection after another.

Only after confirming that no one was following him did he finally stop, silently muttering four words:

"The Undying Black Coffin"

As soon as he finished speaking, a wisp of black mist enveloped the young man's left eye.

The young man slowly removed the gauze from his left eye.

Under the gauze, a complete eyeball had grown out of what was originally just an empty eye socket.

Not only that, his removed kidneys, liver, gallbladder... all his organs regenerated in just a few breaths!

"I still have 500,000 left, but I've been to this black market too many times. I'll have to go somewhere else next time."

A bitter smile appeared on the young man's pale face.

The young man's name was Chu Yunfeng, and he had a younger sister.

In an attempt to earn money, the younger sister ventured into a dangerous wilderness to gather herbs, only to be attacked by a ferocious beast, fall into a coma, and become a vegetable without consciousness.

Chu Yunfeng unexpectedly awakened his martial spirit amidst his grief.

His martial spirit is very special; its shape is a black coffin exuding an eerie aura, and there are no official records of it.

The abilities of a martial spirit are equally bizarre.

That is, to keep him alive.

Yes, it means exactly what it says.

No matter how severe the injury, even if his internal organs were removed or his limbs were severed, Chu Yunfeng could recover quickly with just a thought.

Besides that, it has no other abilities.

In the world of martial arts, the strong are respected.

A martial soul that can only protect one's life and has no offensive capabilities is rather useless.

Fortunately, this was just what Chu Yunfeng needed to solve his immediate problem.

My sister's treatment will cost 1.5 million.

He had earned a million by selling organs on the black market, and only had five hundred thousand left.

However, the closer we get to this point, the more careful we need to be.

Chu Yunfeng knew that he must never let anyone know about his martial soul, otherwise the consequences would be unimaginable.

He would never have taken such a risk if it weren't for his sister.

"There's also a smaller underground black market in Ningchuan City. If I can earn enough money there tomorrow, I'll be able to cover my treatment costs..."

"Young man, where are you headed?"

Just then, a voice that sounded like a half-smile suddenly rang out.

At the entrance of the alley, several figures emerged.

The person in the lead was the doctor who had performed surgery on Chu Yunfeng on the black market, and he was wearing a dirty white coat.

Chu Yunfeng stopped in his tracks, his pupils suddenly contracting: "What are you doing here?"

"You don't actually think you've hidden it well, do you?" The black market doctor pushed up his gold-rimmed glasses, his eyes gleaming with greed.

"I noticed you a long time ago. Although you've only been to my clinic once, you've been to all the other clinics on the black market."

"In the past few days, you've sold five kidneys, three corneas, four livers, two gallbladders, and two pairs of testicles. Is this a normal human body?"

"So during the surgery, I secretly implanted a tracking device in your body."

The black market doctor looked at Chu Yunfeng's fully recovered eyeball, licked his lips, and his eyes became incredibly fervent: "Just as I predicted, you possess extraordinary regenerative abilities."

"To be able to regrow all your organs in such a short time, your body is simply an inexhaustible treasure trove!"

The black market doctor's expression suddenly turned cold. He waved his hand at Chu Yunfeng and said in an icy voice, "Grab him. If he dares to resist, cut off his limbs. They can grow back anyway."

Several martial artists stepped forward, instantly blocking Chu Yunfeng's retreat.

Chu Yunfeng's face turned deathly pale.

He knew perfectly well what fate awaited him if he were caught by these people.

From then on, he would be locked in a dark basement, where his body would be dissected and his organs harvested day after day, turning him into a human organ bank!

My sister, lying in her hospital bed, will also die because she can't afford the surgery.

He has to escape!

However, the martial artists in front of them were all thugs hired by the black market, and each of them was at least at the third level.

He was just an ordinary person with no fighting ability.

It seemed that only a dead end lay before him.

Just then, Chu Yunfeng suddenly felt a darkness before his eyes.

dark clouds?

No, it's not a dark cloud.

What was obscuring the sky was a massive black figure, far larger than he had ever imagined.

A giant black snake!

The giant snake looked down at the tiny figure in the alley from its high position, its golden vertical pupils cold and majestic.

"He is the investment target the system mentioned."

A panel appeared before Su Chen's eyes.

Chu Yunfeng

Age: 19

[Martial Soul: Undying Black Coffin (SSS Rank)]

[Qualification: Mythical]

[Background: Born into poverty, his younger sister fell into a coma after being attacked by a ferocious beast. To raise money for her treatment, he sold her organs on the black market. His martial soul, "Undying Black Coffin," is extremely special. Although it does not possess any offensive means, it has a near-immortal regenerative ability.]

[Investment targets meeting the criteria have been detected]

[Distributing Investment Funds - A Contraindicated Agent]

[Forbidden Potion: Upon ingestion, it can awaken an SSS-level Martial Soul—the Forbidden Codex!]

"Forbidden Codex!" Su Chen's snake eyes widened in shock.

Even he had heard of this infamous martial spirit.

Because of its extremely high destructive power and wide-range attack methods, the Forbidden Codex is ranked as an SSS-level martial soul and is hailed as one of the strongest martial souls.

However, it has a fatal flaw.

That is, using the forbidden spells in the [Forbidden Codex] requires burning one's life as a price.

According to official records, the vast majority of people who possess this martial spirit will die from exhaustion after using the forbidden spell ten times.

Therefore, while the Forbidden Codex is powerful, it is a double-edged sword that people should avoid at all costs.

However, this flaw can be perfectly neutralized by Chu Yunfeng.

Chu Yunfeng's martial soul itself is not considered outstanding.

The Undying Black Coffin possesses near-immortal regeneration abilities, but lacks offensive capabilities.

But what if the two were combined?

A person with infinite regenerative abilities uses a magic technique that requires burning one's life force.

Consumed life force can be restored in an instant, and burned lifespan can be replenished in the blink of an eye.

They're a match made in heaven!

"I've struck gold!" Su Chen murmured in delight.
