Marvel: The other side of the double-passing door is Devouring the Stars

Chapter 287 The Unique Effects of Taiji Mystic Crystals

"Your most important task right now is to rest well and recover your strength," Rowan said earnestly. "Although we won today's battle, it was very taxing. The pace of the fourth round is very fast, and if you want to continue advancing, you must ensure you are in peak condition."

Luo Feng nodded. He could sense that although the surface injuries had healed, the energy of the laws within his body had not yet fully returned to balance and needed more time to adjust.

“Dr. Eileen recommends that you rest for at least twenty-four hours,” Rowan continued, “during which time do not use any of your magical abilities; allow your body to recover naturally.”

“I understand,” Luo Feng nodded, then looked at Hong and Lei Shen, “I will definitely be there to watch your match tomorrow.”

Thor grinned. "Don't push yourself too hard; your health is important. But if you can come, I'll definitely give you an even more spectacular battle!"

Hong remained taciturn, only nodding slightly, but his eyes revealed his concern for Luo Feng.

Rowan checked the time. "It's late, you need to rest. Let's leave now, we'll come see you again tomorrow morning."

Luo Feng nodded, indeed feeling a wave of fatigue wash over him. Dr. Eileen arranged a special recovery room for him, more spacious than a regular rest room, equipped with various energy stabilization devices and vital sign monitoring systems. The room's walls were pale blue, and the ceiling had an embedded lighting system that simulated natural light, creating a tranquil and comfortable atmosphere.

“This room is specially designed to help injured Law Masters recover faster,” Eileen explained. “Energy-stabilizing crystals are embedded in the walls, absorbing chaotic energy fluctuations from the outside world and creating a pure environment. The ceiling lighting system automatically adjusts the intensity and color of the light according to your vital signs, helping you enter the optimal state of rest.”

Luo Feng was helped to the bedside by staff and slowly lay down. Although he had been repaired by the treatment chamber, his body still felt weak, especially when he tried to mobilize a trace of law energy, he immediately felt a sharp pain.

“Don’t try to use any law-based abilities,” Eileen saw through his thoughts and warned sternly, “Your law-based meridian system is still in the repair phase; forcing its use will only cause more serious damage.”

Luo Feng nodded in understanding, "I will follow the doctor's orders."

“Very good,” Eileen smiled with satisfaction. “I have prepared three kinds of potions for you: ‘Energy Balancing Fluid,’ ‘Law Meridian Repair Agent,’ and ‘Mental Strength Restoration Potion.’ Take each potion every four hours until tomorrow morning. If you feel unwell, please call me anytime via the communicator by your bedside.”

Dr. Eileen pointed to three bottles of medicine on the bedside table. They were blue, gold, and purple, and each bottle emitted a faint energy fluctuation.

After confirming that Luo Feng was settled, Luo Wen, Lei Shen, and Hong reluctantly left. They promised to visit Luo Feng immediately after the competition the next day and to keep in touch via communicator.

Finally, Luo Feng was the only one left in the room. He felt an unprecedented exhaustion and peace. The tension of the battle and the pressure of the fusion of laws were finally released, and every cell in his body was screaming for rest.

Following Eileen's instructions, Luo Feng first took the first of the three potions. The blue "Energy Balancing Liquid" was icy cold upon entry, but warmed up as it flowed into his body, like a gentle stream slowly washing away the disordered energy within. The golden "Law Meridian Repair Agent" had a slightly bitter metallic taste and automatically sought out and repaired damaged meridians after entering the body. The purple "Mental Strength Restoration Medicine" had a fragrant aroma, and after taking it, his mind immediately became clear, and his tense spirit was somewhat relaxed.

The medicine began to take effect, and Luo Feng felt waves of comfortable warmth circulating through his body. He gently closed his eyes, trying to clear his mind and allow his body to recover naturally.

However, the images of the battle kept flashing through his mind. Especially that moment—the moment he fused Morte's fire energy with his own metal energy to create the Taiji Mystic Crystal. The feeling was too wondrous, like suddenly opening a completely new door and glimpsing deeper mysteries of the world of laws.

“Gold and fire, seemingly opposites, are actually interconnected,” Luo Feng murmured to himself, his thoughts drifting back to that special moment.

Just as he was lost in his memories, a strange phenomenon occurred. The small box on the bedside table, containing the Taiji Mystic Crystal, suddenly emitted a faint light. Golden and red lights flickered alternately, as if responding to Luo Feng's thoughts.

Luo Feng noticed this change and curiously reached for the box. When his fingers touched the crystal, a peculiar energy fluctuation entered his body, resonating with the chaotic energy of the laws within him.

Even more miraculously, this resonance did not worsen his injuries; on the contrary, it seemed to help rearrange the energy within his body, making it more orderly. Luo Feng could clearly feel that the flow of metal-type law energy within his body became smoother, and the damaged law meridians began to repair themselves at an accelerated pace.

"This is..." Luo Feng looked at the crystal in his hand in surprise, "It's helping me recover?"

Instinctively, Luo Feng did not put the crystal down, but gently placed it on his chest, closed his eyes, and tried to feel its interaction with the energy in his body.

A miraculous scene unfolded. The crystal's light grew even brighter, golden and red rays intertwining to form a peculiar energy field that enveloped Luo Feng's entire body. Under the influence of this energy field, the chaotic energy within Luo Feng's body began to adjust automatically, forming a completely new flow pattern.

This flow pattern is completely different from the metal-based energy path he previously cultivated; it is more efficient and harmonious. It's as if he has found an optimal energy flow path that can both leverage the characteristics of metal-based energy and incorporate the vitality of fire-based energy.

As time passed, Luo Feng entered a peculiar meditative state. In this state, he seemed to be able to "see" the essence of the laws more clearly. The Law of Metal was no longer merely about controlling metals, but about the essential control over the structure of matter; the Law of Fire was no longer just about generating heat and flames, but a principle of energy transformation and release.

When the essence of the two laws converged in Luo Feng's consciousness, a completely new understanding began to form. This understanding transcended the limitations of a single law and pointed to a higher level of law fusion.

After an unknown amount of time, Luo Feng awoke from this strange state. To his surprise, he found that it was already dawn outside the window, and the faint morning light streamed into the room through the gaps in the curtains. He had meditated all night, but he did not feel tired at all; on the contrary, he felt refreshed and full of energy.

Even more surprisingly, the energy of the laws within his body had been completely restored to balance, and the damaged meridians of the laws had been almost entirely repaired. Normally, this would take at least three to four days to recover, but it only took one night.

Luo Feng looked down at the Taiji Mystic Crystal on his chest. It still emitted a faint light, but it was much softer than last night, as if it had completed some kind of mission.

"This is amazing," Luo Feng murmured to himself. "This crystal is not only a physical fusion of two kinds of energy, but it also contains a principle of energy fusion."

Just then, there was a gentle knock on the door, and Dr. Eileen entered, preparing for her morning check-up. She was visibly surprised to see that Luo Feng was awake and looked so well. "Good morning, Luo Feng," Eileen greeted him. "It seems you slept well. Let me check on your recovery."

Eileen took out a small scanner and conducted a full examination of Luo Feng. Her eyes widened when she saw the data.

“This is impossible,” Eileen exclaimed in surprise. “Your meridian system has been completely repaired, and your energy balance has returned to normal. At a normal recovery rate, this would take at least three to four days, but you only took one night.”

Luo Feng hesitated for a moment, then told Eileen about the Taiji Mystic Crystal. When she heard that the crystal glowed at night and seemed to accelerate his recovery process, Eileen's expression changed from surprise to deep thought.

“I’ve never heard of such a phenomenon before,” Eileen admitted, “but it’s theoretically possible. The crystal you created might not just be a simple fusion of two laws of energy, but rather a completely new energy form with some kind of self-regulating and balancing property. When it comes into contact with your body, it might recognize that you are its creator and then automatically begin to help you repair the damaged law system.”

Luo Feng seemed quite satisfied with this explanation. "Indeed, in a meditative state, I felt a resonance between the energy in the crystal and the energy within my body, helping me rearrange the flow of the laws of energy within my body."

Eileen seemed thoughtful. "This could be a major discovery. The fusion of different laws of energy possesses the ability to heal creators. This has enormous potential applications in medicine."

After further examination, Eileen confirmed that Luo Feng's injuries had basically healed and he only needed to rest for another half day to resume normal activities.

“However, I still suggest you observe for another day and not use your Law Ability immediately,” Eileen cautiously advised. “Although the data shows you have recovered, it is, after all, an unconventional recovery process, and there may be some potential risks that we have not yet detected.”

Luo Feng nodded in agreement, "I will take your advice. However, I would like to watch my brothers' match, is that alright?"

Eileen considered for a moment, "Okay, but make sure you don't overexert yourself, and don't use any of your law-based abilities. I'll send a medical professional with you, just in case."

Luo Feng thanked him gratefully and then began preparing to watch today's match. He felt an unprecedented sense of ease and clarity, as if he had undergone a complete transformation.

He carefully put away the Taiji Mystic Crystal, placing it in a pocket close to his body. This seemingly accidental creation of a crystal not only saved his life but might also open up a completely new path of cultivation for him.

As Luo Feng finished getting ready and prepared to head to the spectator area, his communicator suddenly rang. It was Luo Wen calling to inform him that today's match schedule had changed. Luo Wen and Hong's match had been moved to the morning, while Thor's match had been postponed to the last game of the afternoon.

"Our match is about to begin," Rowan said into the communicator. "How are you feeling? Do you want to rest for another day?"

“I’ve basically recovered,” Luo Feng replied, his tone filled with barely concealed excitement. “Dr. Eileen has allowed me to watch your match, but she asked me not to use my Law Abilities and to remain in a state of rest.”

"You've recovered so quickly?" Rowan's voice was filled with surprise. "According to Dr. Eileen's estimate yesterday, you would need at least three to four days of rest."

Luo Feng briefly explained the unique role of Taiji Xuanjing in his recovery process, as well as the new insights he gained through meditation.

“This is truly amazing,” Rowan exclaimed. “It seems the value of this crystal far exceeds our expectations. We’ll need to study its properties thoroughly after the competition.”

“No problem,” Luo Feng replied. “I’m all ready and will be waiting for you in the spectator area right away.”

After ending the call, Luo Feng, accompanied by medical personnel, went to the viewing area. As he walked out of the medical area, he ran into Thor, who was on his way to visit him.

"Fengzi!" Thor exclaimed in surprise, "How did you get out? Have you recovered from your injuries?"

Luo Feng briefly explained his amazing recovery, "I'm basically fully recovered, so I came to watch your match."

Thor stared in astonishment, his eyes wide. "He recovered in just one night? That Tai Chi Mystic Crystal is that miraculous?"

"Yeah, even I didn't expect it," Luo Feng chuckled, patting Thor on the shoulder. "Your match is this afternoon. Who's your opponent?"

“A master of the laws of light from the Morning Star Empire,” Thor’s expression turned serious, “is said to have mastered the special ability of ‘photoelectric conversion,’ which has a certain restraining effect on my lightning domain.”

Luo Feng nodded. "The photoelectric conversion is indeed a troublesome ability, capable of converting your lightning energy into light energy, thus weakening the attack's effect. However, haven't you and Hong been researching the complementarity of light and electricity these past few days? Perhaps we can utilize this."

Thor's eyes lit up. "That's it! How come I didn't think of that! If we can apply that energy complementarity principle we discovered in battle, we might be able to convert the opponent's light-based attacks into our own power and turn the tide of battle!"

The two chatted as they walked towards the spectator area. Although Luo Feng appeared to have recovered well, he had still experienced a fierce battle and an unconventional recovery process, and was slightly out of breath as he walked. Thor noticed this, slowed his pace, and occasionally inquired about Luo Feng's condition with concern.

“Don’t worry,” Luo Feng reassured him, “I’m really recovering quite well. And Dr. Eileen has sent medical personnel to accompany me; they can handle any problems promptly.”

Thor was slightly relieved. "That's good. But you still need to rest and don't overexert yourself."
