Chapter 245 Extra - I've Become Stronger (2/2)

Ruan Tang felt her heart tremble and her scalp tingle as she watched.

The orange cat trembled violently from the pain, but gritted its teeth and didn't make a sound. It just rubbed its furry head against Ruan Tang's leg as if that was its only support.

Ruan Tang's tears fell in a steady stream, but she couldn't bring herself to say anything about regret, because she could sense the changes in the spiritual energy within Xiao Bai and Da Ju, and both spirit beasts had been enhanced.

"Tangtang, don't blame yourself."

Yan Yu's calm voice came from above. He took out a pure silver-white crystal core, which was a healing crystal core.

He placed the healing crystal core around the large orange's wound and activated it instantly with his mental energy.

A gentle, healing energy enveloped Da Ju's wound like a light veil, instantly easing the deadly pain.

"They did a great job, better than we expected."

"Look, they've learned to cooperate and to protect each other with their lives. More importantly, they've unleashed potential they never knew they possessed."

Yan Yu turned his gaze to Xiao Bai.

"Especially you."

Little White tilted its head, not understanding what this two-legged creature was about to say. Humph, even if it was going to praise it, the mouse was prepared to break off all ties with it for an hour.

"You have all advanced."

The spiritual power on Daju was indeed several times stronger than before, and it had reached the early stage of the third rank. Its metal-type spiritual power was more solid, and it also had a faint trace of cyan wind-type spiritual power.

Xiao Bai was even more powerful, directly reaching the mid-stage of the fifth rank. At the same time, an even more powerful energy appeared within his body, which was the power after his bloodline awakened.

Once Xiaobai has recovered, refining it will allow it to grow anew.

Looking at them, Ruan Tang's eyes welled up with tears, a mixture of pride and heartache.

But the thought that they almost didn't come back made her heart clench.

She knew Yan Yu was right, but she just couldn't bring herself to do it.

"Alright, I'll take them to soak in the medicinal spring first."

Ruan Tang wiped away her tears, carefully used her spiritual power to lift up Da Ju and Xiao Bai, and they entered her own space in an instant.

This trial is finally over.

The medicinal spring water steams and rises, and a single breath of that rich life-giving energy is enough to soothe even the deepest bones.

Ruan Tang carefully placed the big orange and the little white dog into the spring water.

The two little ones hummed contentedly as soon as they touched the warm spring water.

The medicinal properties in the spring water, along with spiritual energy, actively enveloped their injured bodies.

The horrific wound on the back of the giant orange was visibly beginning to wriggle and grow.

The charred, dead skin peeled off, and pink new flesh quickly covered the wound.

The blackish-purple color on Xiaobai's forepaw, which had been eroded by scorpion venom, was rapidly fading, restoring its original snow-white color.

Yan Yu stood by the spring, watching the two little ones who were so comfortable in the water that they were almost asleep, but his gaze remained fixed on Ruan Tang.

He knew that this incident had frightened her.

He walked over and gently wrapped his arms around her waist from behind, his chin resting naturally on the top of her soft hair.

"Please don't be angry anymore, okay?"

"Um."

Ruan Tang responded sullenly and leaned into his firm, warm embrace.

"I'm not angry. I just thought that because of our incompatible spiritual roots, Xiaobai and I hadn't been out training before, which is why we're in this situation now. If I had worked harder back then, we wouldn't have been in such a dangerous situation."

"Tangtang, don't think so much. This is all for the best, isn't it?" Yan Yu's voice was deep, close to her ear, the warmth of his breath tickling her earlobe. "Ruan Tang, cultivating immortality is defying the heavens, fraught with danger at every turn. We can't protect them forever. Most importantly, we're all getting stronger now!"
