Abyss Sequence-Chapter 401 - 58: Accelerated Recovery

Even Yulia herself didn’t know what was happening.

Why did her number of engravings suddenly recover from five to eight?

From the photos, her neural structure had grown to six engravings three days ago. So, during her coma, did her body automatically recover two engravings?

How is that possible?

Thinking about it, Sasa turned to Yan Luo, "Is it the augmentation stone?"

Yan Luo glanced at the massive gemstone in front of him and asked Sasa, "What do you mean?"

Sasa paced around the ward, beginning her speculation, "In theory, for an engraver with a soul seed, losing an engraving is actually a state of ’loss of body parts.’ If there is external force applying ’healing power’ to the engraver’s body, it should accelerate the recovery of engravings."

Yulia couldn’t help but touch her left eye, finding it empty with her eyelid sunken.

"But my eyeball hasn’t recovered..."

Sasa said, "That only shows that Yan Luo’s healing power, even with the augmentation stone’s enhancement, hasn’t reached the level to regenerate an eyeball. However, for him, regenerating nerves is no difficulty. Right, Yan Luo?"

Sasa’s latter words were directed at Yan Luo.

Yan Luo nodded seriously, "Indeed, if it’s just nerve growth, it’s very simple for me."

Seeing Yan Luo’s cooperation, Sasa grinned and suggested, "Now, besides Ms. Bilukova extracting her engraving, there’s another person that can be used as a control group."

Chen Shan had an epiphany, hitting his left hand with his right fist, "Right, Ah Chuan is now in a similar state to Ms. Bilukova. If Yan Luo’s blood, strengthened by the augmentation stone, can spread healing power to restore Ms. Bilukova’s nerves, then Ah Chuan could also benefit."

Sasa nodded, "Correct, Chairman Wu also extracted his engravings, making him suitable as a control group for experiments, only if Yan Luo agrees..."

After all, pulling this off would require Yan Luo to bleed, so his consent was essential.

"I don’t mind," Yan Luo said.

Upon hearing this, Sasa smiled, "Now that Yan Luo has agreed, the only thing left is Chairman Wu’s willingness."

Would Wu Zechuan agree to participate in the experiment with rapid engraving recovery as hope?

The answer is obvious, yes!

After experiencing the thrill of power, even someone as mentally steadfast as Wu Zechuan finds it hard to resist the hope of quickly recovering engravings.

A few seconds after Sasa messaged Wu Zechuan, he replied to start the experiment as soon as possible.

Now it seems like a piece of meat hanging before him, tempting him to verify its authenticity and making rest fitful until resolved.

Yan Luo is straightforward; since Wu Zechuan himself said to start the experiment soon, he promptly asked Wu Zechuan when he had the time, and as soon as Wu Zechuan was free, they began.

So, by the evening, Wu Zechuan arrived at Yan Luo Villa, sitting cross-legged in the living room.

Yan Luo had already bled a large bucket, next was sprinkling the blood on the augmentation stone.

Therefore, as Yan Luo and Sasa ate and drank in the dining area, Keke was busy drawing blood from the bucket with a water gun, spraying onto the augmentation stone.

Waves imbued with healing power spread, permeating into Wu Zechuan’s body.

Wu Zechuan closed his eyes tightly, focused within, imagining engravings manifesting inside.

He had held the eighth engraving for months now, engaged in a few battles, which was enough for his engravings to become instinctual.

After their meal, Yan Luo and Sasa joined in the living room observing Wu Zechuan’s condition.

From the outside, Wu Zechuan showed no issues.

After all, Yan Luo’s blood bonded with the augmentation stone only emitted healing force, unlikely to harm Wu Zechuan’s body.

"Hoo!"

Wu Zechuan suddenly opened his eyes, simultaneously activating his engravings.

Five luminous circles spread sequentially behind Wu Zechuan, reflecting the excitement on Sasa’s face.

"It’s feasible!"

Even Yevgenia couldn’t help but look toward Yan Luo.

She never expected the Saint’s Blood to possess such effect.

In this era, discovering other effects of the Saint’s Blood was possible, unlike in the ancient Blue Star Civilization where saints were leaders unable to be asked for blood research.

Moreover, the true effects of Saint’s Marrow were also discovered only in this era.

Yevgenia couldn’t help but ponder if Saint’s Blood had such potent effects on elves, then what about Saint’s Marrow... but no, such thoughts couldn’t be further pursued otherwise she might not be able to resist.

Wu Zechuan stood up from the carpet, sensing his five engravings.

Just in one day, his engravings recovered to five.

Even if each engraving couldn’t be recovered in a day, within ten days, his strength could be fully regained.

The issue now is if Yan Luo is willing to bleed so much.

Wu Zechuan looked at Yan Luo, who anticipated his words and said, "I’m willing to bleed, but at least cover the cost of nutritional supplements."

Upon hearing this, Wu Zechuan smiled easily, "Such matters are simple enough."

"Ideally, wait until Ms. Bilukova can go outside before proceeding," Yan Luo added.

Wu Zechuan nodded, "Understandable."

The healing force from Saint’s Blood on the augmentation stone was not limited to one person. In fact, the effect was somewhat wasted with only Wu Zechuan enjoying it.

It’s a pity Chen Shan and You Yifeng hadn’t reached Second Rank, otherwise, they too could relish it.

......

Three days passed, and Yulia was finally allowed to go outside.

Once she stepped outside the hospital and appeared before everyone, the internet buzzed with excitement.

All conspiracy theories such as ’Yulia has died,’ ’Yulia became a vegetable,’ ’Yulia was held captive,’ vanished instantly upon her appearance.

Yulia stepped out of the hospital for everyone to see and spread the news online.

She deliberately made the taxi arrive late.

The taxi pulled up in front of Yulia as she said goodbye to enthusiastic fans, comforting a tearful girl, telling her to not dwell on Walter’s matters, as the wrongdoer was the Abyssal Believer. If not for the Abyssal Believer, nothing would have happened.

The Abyssal Believer disguised and deceived them, and they weren’t really at fault.

After giving the girl a gentle hug, Yulia boarded the taxi heading to Yan Luo Villa.

Soon, Yulia arrived at the villa’s entrance, witnessing Abyss Academy members moving the augmentation stone into the living room.

Yan Luo, eyes closed, sat cross-legged in the living room, while Sasa operated a machine to draw his blood. Yevgenia was quietly sharing Alfheim’s anecdotes with Wang Lingyu, capturing Lingyu’s interest.

Yulia approached the augmentation stone, gently caressing its smooth surface with her right hand.

"Good morning, Ms. Bilukova," Yan Luo greeted Yulia.

Yulia looked at Yan Luo, smiling and nodding, "Good morning."

Then, she began sharing with Yan Luo and the others her reflections over the past three days.

"I realized that after losing engravings, reverting to ancient cultivation methods and more usage of engravings might expedite engraving recovery."

Yulia recalled her battle with Walter, "During that fight against the Abyssal Believer, subconsciously I believed I still held twelve engravings and wanted to harness the strength of twelve engravings. Possibly then, magic power followed my will, so post-battle my engraving recovered to six.

"And during the coma, I kept dreaming of battles, subconsciously directing engraving recovery, which aided in reaching eight engravings with Yan Luo’s help."

After listening, Sasa wore a contemplative look, "This is indeed a fascinating discovery; the link between magic power and consciousness might be deeper than we imagined."

Previously, she always thought Yulia’s coma recovery to multiple engravings was thanks to Yan Luo, but hearing Yulia’s account, she believed her consciousness played a role too.

Soon, Wu Zechuan arrived at the villa as well.

Once the door was shut, Keke picked up the water gun and sprayed Yan Luo’s blood onto the augmentation stone.

Healing waves arose again, hastening the engraving recovery for Yulia and Wu Zechuan both.
