Chapter 39 (2/2)

—

Now that Zhang Che was in a safe situation, he started recalling the unusual experience he just went through in the pond.

When the huge rock in the pond was split open by Zhang Che, a strange, crystal-like object that was shimmering with seven-colored light was swept along by the current to the depths of the pond.

Zhang Che couldn’t find that object in time after choking on water. He surfaced and coughed out the water in his windpipe, then dove in once more.

At the bottom of the pond, the seven-colored light was as eye-catching as a torch in complete darkness. Zhang Che found it in an instant, diving down quickly, and caught it in his hand.

It was only then that Zhang Che saw the crystal-like object that was emitting seven colored light was actually a perfectly shaped hexagonal prism. It was about thirty cm long, and approximately fifteen cm in diameter.

The crystal was clear and translucent. It looked transparent, yet seemed to contain a tiny universe within, unable to see the depths of it.

Red, orange, yellow, green, blue, indigo, violet. The seven colors complemented each other, adding mystery to the crystal. One look and he knew it was no ordinary object.

A surge of raging mysterious energy came out from the crystal, entering Zhang Che’s spiritual sea without any obstruction. It was absorbed by the Psychedelic Ghost-Patterned Butterfly crazily. Its beast card, which was originally in very poor shape, recovered rapidly, at a speed that was visible to the naked eye, as if beast card restoration solution was applied to it.

Not only that, a sudden change occurred in the next moment.

Before Zhang Che could study the strange crystal in his hand, he suddenly felt a powerful suction force in his mind, pulling the crystal from his hand and towards his forehead.

Experiencing this sudden change, Zhang Che unconsciously opened his mouth to cry out. However, before his voice could come out from his mouth, a large mouthful of water poured in.

In the next moment, the crystal prism didn’t smash Zhang Che’s head open. Instead, it vanished into thin air, leaving no trace behind.

Just as Zhang Che was wondering about what happened, the gigantic ink-black beast swooped down from the sky, bringing a devastating might along with it, before gliding over the water surface and flying back up into the sky.

Thinking back on that in detail, Zhang Che couldn’t help but feel a wave of fear.

If that seven-colored crystal prism hadn’t disappeared all of a sudden, perhaps he would now be dead in that ink-black beast’s mouth, and turned into that terrifying flying beast’s dessert.

After the fear subsided, Zhang Che revealed a hint of smile on his face.

He focused on his inner world. Within his spiritual sea, the five beast cards were arranged in a plum blossom shape, while the seven-colored crystal prism was floating high above in the air of his spiritual sea, scattering a layer of seven-colored fog as the beast cards quickly absorbed it.

The Psychedelic Ghost-Patterned Butterfly card that originally needed a few days to recover was now actually as good as new; it recovered much faster than applying the beast card restoration solution!

Not only that, the four other beast cards seemed to be cheering excitedly.

What surprised Zhang Che even more was that even the Myriad Transformation Lizard card that was currently fused with his face, through its link via the spiritual imprint, was also devouring the mysterious seven-colored fog.

Although Zhang Che had no idea what functions the seven-colored fog had other than recovering the damaged beast cards quickly, upon thinking of the ten-odd Mutated Pufferswords he had killed by the pond, he had a bold guess in his heart.

Perhaps, the seven-colored fog the crystal prism was releasing could increase a beast card’s quality?
