Beast Taming: Bloodline Golden Hand

The rebirth of the Phoenix can be described as reshaping the body, an unimaginable pain like grinding bones.

Lee Zhen, who had frequented battlefields for years, had shed all sorts of blood and endured all kinds of pain, but even so, this was still unbearable.

However, Sun Ji said that no matter how painful it was, he must not pass out.

Because the difference between humans and Spirit Beasts is that humans cannot cultivate; their constitution is poorer, and they cannot absorb the medication when asleep.

If Lee Zhen were to fall asleep, the medicine this time would have been wasted.

Lin Chen hadn’t anticipated the situation being so out of control; he quickly stepped forward and said, "Chairman Lee, I have a trick that can resist the pain."

"What?"

Blood vessels were visible in Lee Zhen’s pupils.

"Picture the girl you like and the scenes with her, hehe."

"You brat..."

"I’m serious."

"Get lost."

Lee Zhen glared.

"....."

Feeling helpless, Lin Chen had no choice but to say, "It’s called the distraction method."

Upon hearing this, Lee Zhen tried to imagine, and after a while, he mumbled, "It seems to really work."

"Chairman Lee, who’s the girl you’re fantasizing about?"

"Mind your own business." Lee Zhen rolled his eyes and continued daydreaming.

Lin Chen wiped away sweat, not daring to interrupt, and asked Sun Ji beside him, "What’s the situation now?"

"It’s my first time performing such surgery," Sun Ji said, "Everything looks normal at the moment."

"How can we tell if the Phoenix Arm’s power can be obtained?" Lin Chen asked.

"You’ll find out soon enough," Sun Ji replied.

Though Lee Zhen effectively reduced the pain, he was still extremely uncomfortable.

This pain persisted not just for a moment but for a very long time.

Suddenly, Lee Zhen exclaimed excitedly, "Lin Chen, Lin Chen!"

Lin Chen looked over to see Lee Zhen gesturing for him to look at his arm, and he excitedly said, "My arm is growing back."

Upon looking, Lin Chen indeed saw Lee Zhen’s arm was rapidly regenerating; it seemed somewhat terrifying.

But in Lin Chen’s eyes, it was a testament to the Phoenix Essence Blood’s power.

The regeneration of an amputated limb—truly worthy of Immortal Beast blood.

When Lee Zhen’s arm grew to a certain length, the speed began to slow, and his pain finally eased.

Lin Chen timely said, "Chairman, hang in there."

He understood that while pain might not cause unconsciousness, one could easily fall asleep after massive pain relief when both body and mind relax.

Just now, Lee Zhen indeed felt on the verge of collapse, wanting to sleep, but now Lin Chen’s words startled him awake, and he lightly bit his lip with his teeth to let pain keep him conscious.

And thus, half a day passed; Lin Chen was almost asleep waiting, when suddenly all the water in the medicine tub turned white.

Sun Ji stepped forward for a glance, saying, "It should be about done."

Lin Chen and Lee Zhen instantly felt invigorated, with the former stepping forward quickly and saying, "Chairman, try moving your arm... Doctor Sun, can he move it? Or does it need rest?"

"No need," Sun Ji said, "This arm doesn’t belong to you, so it’s easier to move, allowing it to fit your body faster."

Upon hearing this, Lee Zhen swallowed, feeling somewhat excited as he looked at his own arm.

It’s been years since the beast chaos, and Lee Zhen was somewhat unaccustomed.

He closed his eyes, then used his brain to control his arm, and at the moment his arm lifted, the familiar feeling returned.

"Succeeded, Lin Chen, succeeded!"

Lee Zhen’s excitement was indescribable.

Lin Chen was also greatly pleased.

No matter how precious ten drops of Phoenix Essence Blood were, in Lin Chen’s heart, they couldn’t compare to the importance of Lee Zhen’s arm.

But he still remarked, "What a pity, seems there isn’t a Phoenix Arm—Chairman, your talent isn’t that great, too lousy."

"....."

Lee Zhen scratched his head, feeling a bit embarrassed.

Sun Ji chimed in, "Not necessarily."

"His arm grew without any sign—how could there be a Phoenix Arm?" Lin Chen asked.

"He’s not evolving, where would the sign come from?" Sun Ji retorted, "Come, Chairman Lee, extend your hand."

Following his instruction, Lee Zhen stretched his hand.

"Now begin to exert force."

"How to exert force?"

"Just throw a punch."

Lee Zhen closed his eyes and began to gather strength; at this time, the surrounding air temperature surprisingly began to rise.

Both Lin Chen and Sun Ji were taken aback; it was an anomaly.

Lee Zhen’s arm was more symmetrical and powerful than before; the skin was smooth, yet faintly glowed with healthy rosiness, and now a scarcely perceptible golden pattern appeared on the surface, like a feather vein shimmering.

As the power surged, the golden pattern beneath the skin suddenly lit up like lava rushing through veins. The entire arm was enveloped in a flowing, translucent golden-red flame, which rose like a blazing holy fire.

"Hah!"

Lee Zhen clearly felt this surge of power; he swung forward abruptly, the flames growing more violent, the color shifting to platinum, a Phoenix specter flashed in the flames accompanied by a clear, soul-piercing cry.

That flaming punch swung forward, crashing beyond the door, exploding abruptly.

Seeing this, Lin Chen was overjoyed.

It seemed those ten drops of Phoenix Essence Blood weren’t wasted.

Lee Zhen also opened his eyes, wildly delighted, and Sun Ji remarked, "Congratulations, now you can cultivate too."

"What do you mean?"

"Actually, the chance to awaken the Phoenix Arm is extremely slim, maybe one out of ten thousand can achieve it." Sun Ji said, "Now part of your body contains Spirit Beast bloodline, so you’re able to sense the Spiritual Qi of this world and start cultivation."

"Like Young Master Qin’s Celestial Spirit Body?"

"Precisely."

Lee Zhen swallowed, staring incredulously at his right arm.

This time, fortune came from misfortune; perhaps he has a chance to enter the ranks of the masters he dreamt of?

He looked gratefully at Lin Chen but didn’t say thank you; some things are better kept at heart, just like how Lin Chen always remembered his severed arm.

"However, you are human after all, so it’s unwise to pursue power excessively, lest the Phoenix Bloodline backfires." Sun Ji warned, "Remember that."

"Thank you, Doctor Sun." Lee Zhen cupped his hands.

Sun Ji waved, adding, "The Celestial Spirit Body excels in Spiritual Power; you can have her guide you a bit, but measure yourself appropriately."

Lee Zhen cupped his hands again.

....

The entire afternoon, Lee Zhen was studying his Phoenix Arm, and seeing him so happy, Lin Chen was also quite joyful.

This time, Lee Zhen not only regained his arm but also leapfrogged to level 75.

The advancement Lee Zhen made was monumental.

Lin Chen returned to his residence, feeling somewhat fatigued, just about to sleep when he saw Qin Shaoshao and the others returning.

"So soon? How did it go? No accidents?" Lin Chen asked.

The Great Elder said, "Just look at the announcements."

As he spoke, Lin Chen’s guild machine started ringing.
