Chapter 358: Chapter 79: Prophet—Is Lin Chen the Savior of Humanity? (Double-Length)

Lin Chen sensed the condition of his body.

Although still a bit weak, his physical strength had recovered significantly.

It seemed that during the past two days, Wang Xinyu and the others had given Lin Chen some nutritional liquids.

"However, with this physical state, going to the Cultivation Realm is still not safe enough."

Lin Chen thought to himself.

"Sister Xinyu, Brother Li... could you please wait outside for a while?"

"I’ll come out in half a day."

Lin Chen asked.

Wang Xinyu nodded in agreement, then suddenly remembered something and said:

"By the way, someone has been waiting to see you for several days now. He wants to meet you... and Commander Wang has also agreed."

"Do you want to meet him when you come out of seclusion?"

Lin Chen was slightly surprised and asked, "Who is it?"

Wang Xinyu shook her head and said:

"I don’t really know... hmm... it’s a rather strange person."

"If I were to use a word to describe him... I think ’foreign visitor’ would be quite fitting!"

Foreign visitor?

Lin Chen blinked, feeling somewhat surprised.

After Wang Xinyu and Li Nian left the Cultivation Room, Lin Chen circulated the Evergreen Technique for several cycles.

He felt his body had improved a lot.

Only then did he open a jade box and take out a strand of golden flesh.

Flesh essence of a Fifth Tier Demon Beast!

It was precisely what Lv Zishou had brought to Lin Chen earlier.

"Hiss, it smells so good..."

Lin Chen lightly sniffed it, feeling an immense desire rising within him, wanting to devour all the flesh essence in the jade box completely.

But Lin Chen knew all too well that if he really did that, the energy might just overwhelm and burst his body.

Having just broken through to the Martial King level, consuming the flesh of a Fifth Tier Demon Beast was still a bit too much for his Martial Arts Realm.

However, consuming half a liang each time shouldn’t be too problematic.

Lin Chen glanced at the Qi Blood Bracelet on his wrist.

68,000 points!

"Tsk tsk, the condition of my body is less than one-third of its peak... the Power of Time sure comes with a hefty price!"

Lin Chen clicked his tongue.

After breaking through to the Martial King, his Qi and Blood Value should be over 200,000.

Using the Candle Dragon’s Power of Time had drained Lin Chen’s stamina almost completely, and his Qi and Blood inside had withered significantly.

Under normal circumstances, it might take a month to recuperate back to the peak.

"However, I can’t wait that long..."

Without hesitation, Lin Chen directly swallowed that thumb-sized strand of golden flesh into his mouth.

Boom!

Just a few breaths later, Lin Chen’s body suddenly turned red.

Steam rose from the surface of his skin as if under high temperature.

Inside, it felt like a blazing fire was burning fiercely...

At the same time, Lin Chen felt his strength returning, and his Qi and Blood gradually became full.

The numbers on the Qi Blood Bracelet on his wrist began to jump rapidly.

68,000... 75,000... 90,000... 130,000...

150,000...

In barely half a two-hour period, Lin Chen’s Qi and Blood had considerably recovered, nearly bringing his stamina back.

After another two-hour period, Lin Chen’s Qi and Blood Value had returned to 200,000.

The growth of the Qi and Blood Value on the bracelet started to slow down.

200,500, 200,800...

Lin Chen’s Qi and Blood completely recovered and started to grow gradually.

The main ingredient of the nutritional liquid was essentially flesh essence.

However, the energy contained in flesh essence was too violent for ordinary Martial Artists to withstand.

But Lin Chen’s Martial Arts Realm was sufficient, allowing the energy from the Fifth Tier Demon Beast’s flesh essence to swiftly restore his stamina.

...

Several two-hour periods later, Lin Chen jumped up.

He moved slightly, and his tendons and bones crackled.

His entire skin surface was covered in a layer of sweat, presenting a healthy wheat color.

Lowering his head, he glanced at the Qi and Blood Value on the bracelet.

200,500!

Just a strand of flesh essence had increased Lin Chen’s Qi and Blood Value by 5,000!

Hmm... it’s equivalent to half of Li Nian’s growth.

"Tsk tsk, the flesh essence of a Fifth Tier Demon Beast truly is extraordinary!"

"Just this one consumption might equal half a year of my diligent cultivation..."

Lin Chen sighed slightly.

The Martial Path is seventy percent food, thirty percent training, which holds some truth.

However, Lin Chen couldn’t consume flesh essence all the time.

Especially the chaotic energy contained in Fifth Tier Demon Beasts, which may be consumable only once or twice a year.

Yet, even so, it would allow Lin Chen’s power to transform rapidly.

After all, even Wang Lishan couldn’t enjoy such flesh essence.

One Fifth Tier Demon Beast, comparable to a True Monarch of Divinity Transformation, yields only a pound of essence...

Enough for Lin Chen to consume for several years.

After his physical state returned to its peak, Lin Chen looked at the sweat on his skin and slightly frowned.

With a slight thought, Lin Chen cast a Cleaning Technique, removing all the dirt from his skin.

"Techniques really are more convenient..."

Lin Chen sighed slightly.

The Cleaning Technique is just a Minor Technique at the Qi Refining Stage, usable by any cultivator in the Cultivation Realm, yet it saves the time of taking a bath, quite practical.

But in the High Martial World, even someone as strong as a Martial Emperor still has to obediently take a bath when dirty.

This is the distinction between the two power systems.

Lin Chen put on new clothes, tidied up a bit, and left the Cultivation Room.

...

Moments later, in the reception room of the Martial Arts Palace.

Lin Chen looked at Wang Lishan beside him and asked:

"Uncle Wang, the person you mentioned... when will he arrive?"

Wang Lishan glanced at his bracelet and muttered:

"Shouldn’t be too long now?"

As soon as he finished speaking, a figure walked in from outside the room. 𝚏𝕣𝕖𝚎𝚠𝚎𝚋𝚗𝐨𝐯𝕖𝕝.𝕔𝐨𝕞

It was a classic Western face.

Blond hair, blue eyes, deep features, looking like he’s in his twenties, with fair skin and a tall stature.

"Look, here he is." Wang Lishan indicated.

Seeing Lin Chen, the person’s eyes immediately lit up, and he spoke in clumsy Great Xia language:

"Oh, Lin Chen! My destined man... finally, I have met you!"
