C8 Body Tempering

Chen Yuan once again walked into the evil wind.

This time, he was still very careful. The flesh and blood of his legs could resist the evil wind, which guaranteed his ability to move. He walked deeper and deeper step by step.

Huhuhu!

The originally inaudible sound of the wind became clearer and clearer as he went deeper and deeper. Chen Yuan's scalp went numb when he heard it. This meant that there were millions of evil wind blades sharper than swords!

Chi!

His palm was the first to be attacked. The evil wind wrapped around his hand, and every inch of flesh and blood around the joints were easily removed, just like the bones of a person after death.

Then his arms, body, and even his entire body.

The evil wind was like a knife filled with art. It removed the flesh and blood layer by layer, leaving only the white bones. Chen Yuan had turned into a skeleton in an instant, but what was strange was that this skeleton still had a mind.

Apart from the mind, there was also the green light that could not be ignored.

It had appeared again.

The flesh and blood magically regenerated, and Chen Yuan, who was so thin that he was only left with bones, became full again.

Fortunately, this was the Sunken Cave. Although there was a weak light source here, it could only distinguish the outline. If someone outside saw such a terrifying transformation like Chen Yuan, even a cultivator would probably be terrified.

This regeneration happened again and again, and even Chen Yuan himself felt the change in his body. It was as if there were millions of cells filled with energy hidden in his body. He suddenly felt an unimaginable power in his body!

His bones were no longer white, but had turned into a light gold color. The flesh and blood that was recovering was no longer the flesh and blood from before. They were as white as jade, yet refined and restrained.

Until the wind gradually died down.

Chen Yuan's appearance did not change at all. His body had undergone a tremendous change.

"I think it's about time." Chen Yuan looked at the evil wind that had disappeared and felt grateful. He felt as if he had regained his strength.

He turned around and took a step. In just two breaths, he had arrived beside Liu Xiaoxiao, as fast as a gust of wind.

In the darkness, Liu Xiaoxiao threw an outer coat to him in a flurry.

Chen Yuan had obtained a great fortune, a great benefit. Perhaps this was the so-called, 'one who survives a great calamity will definitely have a good fortune'.

"There's no longer any obstruction from the evil wind on the road ahead. We can move now." After saying that, Chen Yuan picked up Liu Xiaoxiao again. It was as easy as flipping his hand for him to do this. "Let's continue to look forward. Since there's wind, there must be an exit outside."

"The evil wind can form here. Many people must have died here." Liu Xiaoxiao felt the power and temperature from her arms and calmed down. She said, "I wonder why there is such a place in the Sunsetwood Grove."

"Look at what Lee Bufan did. I'm afraid it's not the first time he did it. Besides Lee Bufan, who can guarantee that the other people in the Sunsetwood Grove won't do the same thing?"

"This is the dark side of the human heart, a place far away from the light."

The two of them sighed as they walked into the winding and deep cave. With the light from the rocks, they unknowingly walked a certain distance. Everything was peaceful along the way, and nothing happened.

After walking for an unknown amount of time, a strange sound attracted their attention.

"Let's go take a look." This was the first fork in the Sunken Cave. There were two paths in front of them, and one of them could clearly feel the flow of wind. It should be the path that Chen Yuan and the others were looking for.

The sound came from another direction.

Liu Xiaoxiao did not say anything, and she tacitly agreed to Chen Yuan's suggestion.

The two of them walked into the cave that was emitting a strange sound. The walls of the cave were covered with glowing rocks, and it made them feel as if their eyes were lit up. Immediately after, they saw the source of the strange sound.

A white shadow that was only as tall as a small leg floated in the air!

Looking at its outline, it looked like a flying animal whose head was covered by a white cloth. There was also a white bone floating in front of it, and the sound came from it.

Hearing the noise, the other party also stopped moving and turned around in the air.

Then, Chen Yuan and Liu Xiaoxiao only saw a pair of black eyes. Under the white contrast, it was a bit eerie and terrifying.

"I'm hungry, I'm hungry..." The white shadow threw away the bone that it had been chewing for an unknown amount of time and pounced towards them!

"Be careful, this is a Gloomwraith that cannot be dispersed! The locust tree is Yin wood, and not only does it have the evil wind, it can also gather ghosts. Under the nourishment of the Yin wood, they can avoid the threat of their souls dispersing!"

Just as Liu Xiaoxiao finished her reminder, the Gloomwraith had already pounced towards Chen Yuan's face.

If it was Chen Yuan who had just entered the Sunken Cave, he probably would not be able to deal with the speed of the Gloomwraith.

However, after being tempered by the evil wind, the two were completely incomparable.

Chen Yuan's left hand steadily held Liu Xiaoxiao, and his right hand directly punched out. The entire cave emitted a sound of breaking through the air, and with a bang, the white Gloomwraith was ruthlessly punched into the rock wall on the opposite side, causing the rock wall to rustle and shatter into pieces.

"Hungry." The white Gloomwraith was still muttering the same word. Its body was embedded into the rock wall, and it was unable to escape for a moment.

"Does this thing have consciousness?" After dealing with such a little ghost with a single punch, Chen Yuan did not feel any sense of accomplishment.

"Logically speaking, the Gloomwraith also has consciousness. If it were to meet a thousand-year Gloomwraith, its intelligence would even surpass that of an ordinary person. However, it is very obvious that this Gloomwraith has not been formed for a long time, and it is still in its infancy."

Liu Xiaoxiao's answer suddenly piqued Chen Yuan's interest. "That means that this Gloomwraith was formed recently?"

"It seems like it hasn't been more than three years. Other than the environment, the formation of the Gloomwraith also includes the obsession and resentment of its previous life. It is very likely that it died in the Sunken Cave when it was still alive."

"What's your name?" Chen Yuan suddenly asked the Gloomwraith on the wall.

If it had any will, it should at least remember his name, right? Chen Yuan thought to himself as he raised his fist and asked again, "Hey, I'm asking you a question. What is your name?"

"Hungry... Hungry... Lu... Lu..." It was unknown if Chen Yuan's fist had worked or not, but the Gloomwraith no longer 'hungry'. Instead, it said a familiar name.

Lu Xing?

The Gloomwraith said that it was Lu Xing?

Wasn't Lu Xing still in the Sunsetwood Grove? Previously, he had helped Chen Yuan to seal the Binding of Inner Currents and wake him up from his deep slumber.

"If it is Lu Xing, and if it didn't lie, then who is the current Lu Xing in the Sunsetwood Grove?" Chen Yuan asked in surprise.

"Who killed you!" Liu Xiaoxiao, who had been silent all this time, suddenly asked.

"... Big... Big... Hungry..." The Gloomwraith trembled slightly as it twisted its small white body. It was really hungry now, and even its memories were blurry.
