Chapter 378: Chapter 306: Resurrection and Captives

Borrowing a corpse to resurrect had been one of the two methods and three enhancements Lin Xing had obtained for his own practice after forcibly refining the Fake Immortal Meridian.

Unlike Corpse Disintegration Ascension, borrowing a corpse to resurrect was not for obtaining powerful combat abilities but for eliminating the side effects of corpse disintegration.

It was to resurrect Lin Xing after his physical death, allowing him to still have the potential to continue cultivating and breaking through boundaries.

At this moment, in the cultivation room, Lin Xing’s body was floating midair, covered densely with numerous black Six Secret Runes.

Under the refining of the Six Secret Immortal Refining, Lin Xing’s body had not only recovered to its peak state but the organs inside his body, like the brain, had also begun to operate. Streams of blood ran wildly through his body like dragons, and his nerves and brain re-established connections...

As his body gradually revived, transforming from a completely dead object into a living one, Lin Xing’s Primordial Spirit seized the opportunity to enter it.

In an instant, the power of ’borrowing a corpse to resurrect’ activated, and Lin Xing’s Primordial Spirit perfectly merged with this body at its peak.

Meanwhile, behind the observation window outside of the cultivation room,

Jing Shiyu worriedly watched Lin Xing’s movements.

Although Lin Xing’s combat power had increased dramatically in the past few days after achieving Corpse Disintegration Ascension, killing far and wide, she definitely did not want him to truly become a Corpse Dissolving Immortal, nor did she want him to become a living dead without a physical body.

At this moment, following Lin Xing’s actions, the observing staff members also began exclaiming, "His breathing and heartbeat have been restored..."

"Blood pressure has returned to normal..."

"Blood oxygen saturation has increased..."

"Quick, look at the brain waves..."

"He’s alive, he’s really come back to life!"

Under the incredulous gazes of many top medical workers, that body, which should have been nothing more than a lump of flesh, actually came back to life bit by bit, like a miracle from a legend.

In the following days, this news spread rapidly among the higher-ups of various countries in the present world, causing yet another sensation.

At this time, as the body’s various metrics gradually returned to normal or even became extraordinary, Lin Xing slowly opened his eyes, feeling the reborn physical body he had regained.

Strength: 9.9 + 1.1 elder

Speed: 9.5 + 1.1 elder

Physical fitness: 10.3 + 1.1 elder

Spirituality: 22.1 + 1.1 elder

Immortal Qi: 1.9

Having regained his physical strength, his previously increased spirituality had weakened somewhat.

Lin Xing did not find this surprising, after all, the explosive growth in spirituality had been obtained by sacrificing his physical body during corpse disintegration.

Now that he had left the state of Corpse Disintegration Ascension, his Primordial Spirit and body had re-established contact, so he no longer maintained the state of Pure Yang, and his spirituality naturally weakened.

Maintaining the level of 22.1 was already the result of retaining some of the enhancements from his ascended state.

Besides the decline in spirituality, Lin Xing, who had regained his body, also lost the spellcasting bonuses of the Pure Yang Primordial Spirit.

His body was also unable to achieve the rapid movement abilities of the Pure Yang Primordial Spirit.

Moreover, because of his physical body, he had many more weaknesses, making him more vulnerable to being killed.

But in exchange for these ’weaknesses’, what he gained was a path to become even stronger.

At this moment, sensing the Fake Immortal Meridian being refined in his body, Lin Xing thought to himself, "The two methods and three enhancements are already the limit of the Fake Immortal Meridian. I can feel that to bear another method and enhancement, I need to increase the Immortal Qi to 5."

"And to bear a total of four methods and enhancements, that Immortal Qi would have to increase to at least 10."

Sensing the power of Immortal Qi in his mind, Lin Xing silently estimated, "As long as I continue to remain unrestricted, free, and carefree, like this confrontation with Xingxiao and White Eagle Country, not going against my own heart."

"Then reaching 10 Immortal Qi within two months shouldn’t be difficult."

"But for me, that’s too slow, I need to get stronger faster."

"That would require further liberating the shackles on my spirit..."

As Lin Xing pondered, Jing Shiyu and Bai Yiyi walked in.

"Lin Xing, how are you?"

Lin Xing looked at them and smiled slightly, "Everything is going smoothly."

Then his expression became serious, and he said, "Next, let’s go see those three guests."

...

Inside the room.

The Divine Dragon Gang Leader, with handcuffs and shackles on his hands and feet and an electric shock collar around his neck, sat quietly in the chair.

His eyes were closed, slowly sensing the state of his body, as if he had fallen into some sort of meditation.

From the outside, he appeared calm, as if the current situation hadn’t brought him any anxiety, nervousness, or unrest.

But no matter how still the Divine Dragon Gang Leader stood in this place, trying to sense his surroundings and no matter how hard he tried, the martial arts power he could muster at this moment had dwindled to a mere trickle.

The reconfiguration of Lin Xing’s physical body was not merely the sprouting of several additional arms on his back, but a complete transformation of his muscles and even his internal organs.

Such drastic physical changes rendered many of the martial arts techniques he had learned throughout his life temporarily ineffective.

Only the Divine Dragon Gang Leader himself knew how angry, how lost, and how... fearful he was, having lost his martial arts prowess.

Fortunately, during the past several dozen hours of sensing, he discovered that the techniques ingrained in his mind were gradually adapting to his altered physique.

After all, his body was still his own, albeit altered in size and form, it remained his body.

’Just give me enough time, and I must be able to restore my original martial arts cultivation.’

’Once my cultivation has recovered somewhat, I shall find an opportunity to escape from here. After the great changes in the world and the surge of spiritual energy, I will strive to break through to the fourth legacy as soon as possible.’

’By that time, I will let Lin Xing know just how grave a mistake he has made!’

While the Divine Dragon Gang Leader was indulging in his future prospects and consoling himself, the door before him suddenly opened, and a figure full of imposing pressure and intense threat slowly stepped in.

"Lin Xing!" the Divine Dragon Gang Leader exhaled, steadying his mind, but as he was about to speak, Lin Xing preemptively did.

Lin Xing’s icy gaze swept over the Divine Dragon Gang Leader’s body, "Bring the Divine Dragon Gang to turn over a new leaf and henceforth submit to me."

Upon hearing this, the Divine Dragon Gang Leader felt a surge of fury from the disdain in the other’s words, "Lin Xing, have you come here today just to humiliate me?"

Lin Xing replied indifferently, "I have no interest in insulting you."

"If you feel humiliated, that’s your problem."

"I’ll ask one last time, disagree, and you die."

The next moment, sword lights were already coiling around the vital points of the Divine Dragon Gang Leader’s body.

He opened his mouth wanting to rebuke Lin Xing, even curse him thoroughly, and display the pride of a martial artist.

But feeling the chilling blades of the sword lights so close to his flesh, the Divine Dragon Gang Leader found himself gaping, unable to utter a single word despite putting all his effort into it.

He knew this was his martial artist’s instinct reminding him, controlling him, urging him to set aside his meaningless pride and choose a more sensible route to victory.

"What use are pride and dignity, really? They’re both nonsensical."

"To become a true martial arts master, one must overcome these useless things."

"Just like now."

Thinking with the wisdom of an unrivaled expert, the Divine Dragon Gang Leader quickly made his decision.

With a cold snort, he looked at Lin Xing and shouted, "Lin Xing, today I’ll throw the entire Divine Dragon Gang into your hands. I want to see if you can handle it."

Lin Xing nodded slightly, "Then follow me."

The Divine Dragon Gang Leader followed Lin Xing out of the room, only to find Jing Shiyu and Bai Yiyi waiting outside.

As the Divine Dragon Gang Leader walked behind Lin Xing, watching his back, he felt the man before him was acting even more willfully, becoming more unfathomable than the last time they met.

If the Divine Dragon Gang Leader could barely guess some of Lin Xing’s thoughts the last time, this time he was completely clueless about Lin Xing’s true intent.

So, he spoke up to probe, "Now that the Divine Dragon Gang is yours, when will you restore my body?"

Lin Xing casually said, "I don’t know."

The Divine Dragon Gang Leader briefly paused, puzzled, "You don’t know?"

Lin Xing bluntly replied, "I only know how to reconfigure my own body. As for yours... I’ve forgotten what it looked like. How could I reconfigure it?"

The Divine Dragon Gang Leader’s expression darkened, and inwardly he cursed, "Is this mad dog playing me?"

Lin Xing continued, "Moreover, with your strength so pitiful, should you harbor unnecessary ambitions after recovering your body, you might just end up killed by me. It’s better to maintain the status quo and live as an ordinary prisoner with a peaceful mind."

The Divine Dragon Gang Leader remained silent, his anger reaching its peak internally, "Damn! This mad dog dares to look down on me. For now, I must endure and bide my time. In the future, I will absolutely make you regret your actions today!"

Next, Lin Xing and the Divine Dragon Gang Leader arrived in front of another room.

As the door opened, there was Yun Hezi, his body covered with fleshy wings and bound by iron chains, locked inside.

Upon seeing Lin Xing, Yun Hezi shouted furiously, "Demon! If you’re going to kill me, just do it!"

"If you don’t kill me today, I assure you will regret it immensely in the future!"

Looking at Yun Hezi’s steadfast and death-seeking demeanor, the Divine Dragon Gang Leader thought to himself, "This foolish dog, still acting tough when he’s already a prisoner. Wait, does he think this will make Lin Xing respect him more?"

Lin Xing ignored Yun Hezi’s bluster, simply asking, "Are you willing to surrender?"

"Surrender to your mother!" Yun Hezi laughed in anger, "Lin Xing, you slaughtered my master and trampled my dignity. You and I will be enemies forever."

"Even if you kill me this time, I swear I will fight you again in my next life following Xingxiao!"

"If not in one life, then in two; if not in two, then in three. Even if it takes an eternity, I will never give up!"

Watching Yun Hezi’s determined eyes beneath the covering of fleshy wings, Lin Xing sensed the resolve in his words.

And he made his judgment, "Worthless is as worthless does. To even fantasize about your endless failures, how could you be worthy to be my adversary?"
