Douluo Continent: The Butterfly, Starting from the Authority of Death

"That depends on Your Highness; to what extent do you wish to recover?"

This time, it was Xu Tianran's turn to remain silent.

After a moment, he tentatively asked, "Within the scope of a normal person?"

Xu Tianran emphasized the word "normal".

Orange, standing behind Xu Tianran, unconsciously tightened her grip on the armrests of the wheelchair.

"It's difficult," Wang Xian'er replied. "The pills from the previous auction house were enough to make His Highness stand up."

"However, you're probably already aware of some of its flaws, aren't you?"

Xu Tianran nodded in agreement, waiting for Wang Xian'er to continue.

The Soul Douluo who took the pill, after testing, did indeed, as Wang Xian'er said, have an arm that could not flow with soul power. Normally, there would be no problem, but it might be less effective than the original arm.

Also, Wang Xian'er said it was difficult, not impossible.

Xu Tianran had no doubt that the continent's number one healing-type Soul Master had the insight to see the problem with his body.

Since the other party didn't say it publicly, Xu Tianran breathed a sigh of relief and decided to try to find out indirectly.

"You mean it's impossible?"

"Mm." Wang Xian'er nodded.

"I'm currently at level 97, at my peak. If I could reach level 99, it's uncertain whether I could help His Highness recover."

"Limit Douluo!"

Xu Tianran remained silent.

Historically, and even now, there have been Limit Douluo on the mainland, and quite a few at that.

But the number one healing-type Limit Douluo on the mainland has never seen one in ten thousand years.

"Isn't there any other way?" Orange couldn't help but ask.

She was the only one who knew that Xu Tianran was impotent, aside from his leg ailment.

For a country, it is unimaginable that the heir is a eunuch and a cripple.

"I mean it's difficult," Wang Xian'er sighed. "There are two ways."

"First, I will break through to the Limit Douluo level, at which point I will have a better understanding of life."

"Secondly, there's the teacher behind the young lady."

With a "whoosh".

All eyes were on Xia Die, who seemed almost invisible.

"It's a pity." Wang Xian'er's sigh was as heavy as a hammer blow.

"After taking Miss to the Star Luo Empire, her teacher went on a journey. The elixir in the Crown Prince's hand was given to Miss by her teacher."

"Miss Xia Die, when will your teacher be back?" Xu Tianran's body trembled slightly, showing his anxiety.

He didn't doubt that Wang Xian'er was faking it; the pills were real, and the ability to regenerate severed limbs was also real.

"Hmm..." Xia Die pondered, "About a year later, they said they would return during the Soul Master Competition."

"If it were a teacher, perhaps His Highness could truly recover."

"One year, one year..."

Xu Tianran kept rubbing his fingers together.

It's only a year, he can wait that long.

Kong Deming, who was standing to the side, was completely confused. He felt that there was something hidden in the conversation between Xu Tianran and Wang Xian'er, but he couldn't quite understand it.

But when Teacher Xiadie returned after the last year, she still heard him clearly say that she could cure Xu Tianran.

The Emperor of the Sun and Moon was quite satisfied with Xu Tianran. If his legs could be healed, he would definitely be the undisputed crown prince.

Kong Deming glanced at Hongchen, a hint of helplessness on his face. This old rascal, he used to be so clever.

Can't he see that the others are using him as a pawn?

Jing Hongchen was cured, and Xu Tianran also received a relatively satisfactory answer.

After a friendly exchange between the two sides.

As darkness fell.

Xu Tianran and Kong Deming said something about bringing an apology gift next time, and then they all went home to their own mothers.

Once the gossip was over, the surrounding onlookers all left in a rush.

After watching the departure of the Sun Moon Empire's official and civilian forces, Xia Die and Wang Xian'er returned to the villa.

"Are you really alright?"

Wang Xian'er's voice was filled with worry.

What happened outside just now was partly acting and partly real.

For example, Xia Die did look unwell, which was why Wang Xian'er was angry.

"We've settled down, haven't we?" Xia Die sat down in the chair. "Actually, my situation has little to do with them; it's a problem with my own health."

"Your health!"

Wang Xian'er was startled and quickly stepped forward to place her hand on Xia Die's pulse.

After a series of tests, no abnormalities were found.

Apart from the fact that Xiaodie seems a bit weak right now, everything is normal.

"Mr. Wang, you don't need to worry."

"I know my own body best."

"Compared to this," Xia Die said, her gaze shifting slightly as she looked at Wang Xian'er.

"How did you feel about today's battle after the breakthrough?"

"My teacher told me that Jing Hongchen has the ability to fight Xuanzi one-on-one, which means he has used all his skills. He might still have some strength left today."

"I took a shortcut." Wang Xian'er pondered for a moment, "If it were to deal with Xuanzi, I might not be able to defeat him."

"Oh? How so?"

Xia Die's tone was completely calm.

Wang Xian'er recounted the details of today's battle to Xia Die.

"I see." Xia Die said thoughtfully, "The skills of soul tools are in an unstable state, which is very different from the skills released by soul masters through martial souls and soul rings in terms of stability."

That makes sense. Soul tools aim to maximize energy; as long as soul power is injected into them, the power of the soul tool itself can be released.

The Martial Soul itself seems to involve fragments of the Dragon God's laws.

Hmm, that seems to be the case.

In the original novel, Douluo Continent II: The Peerless Tang Sect, the first Soul Master Tournament took place in Star Luo City.

When Huo Yuhao used the Blade of Life to erase the skills of the Star Luo National Academy team, it seemed that he was simply destroying the power of the soul tool, rather than erasing the power of the soul master's own soul skills.

Wang Xian'er is a healing soul master of the life type, but she has not yet reached the so-called ultimate life.

Even with the mind control and cultivation methods she gave him, this was the limit he could achieve.

"There is indeed a significant difference between level 97 and level 98." Xia Die nodded slightly. Perhaps having battle armor could bridge that gap.

"Battle armor, what's that?" Wang Xian'er asked curiously.

"Hmm, how should I put it?" Xia Die pondered, then explained, "It's a special kind of soul tool made of metal, which allows the activity of metal life to manifest, and then it can be directly integrated into the body."

"I've only heard my teacher mention that the four-word battle armor seems to allow a level 97 character to have the combat power of a level 98 or even 99 character, including their domain and so on."

"hiss--"

Wang Xian'er gasped.

"Eh? I don't know the specifics either," Xia Die said calmly.

My thoughts drifted away.

The battle armor from the Legend of the Dragon King era and the soul tools from the Peerless Tang Sect are essentially two different things.

These are two different approaches.

Battle armor primarily enhances the body and soul power, rather than the martial soul.

This is Huo Yuhao's original line of thought, but Kong Deming's is different.

For example, his last battle.

By integrating a soul tool into the martial soul, the martial soul can be enhanced to a greater extent.

He fused his own martial soul with the soul tool to create a level 10 soul tool.

The former enhances the body and soul power, while the latter enhances the martial soul; essentially, they are two different approaches.

Xia Die shook her head, clearing her mind of her chaotic thoughts.

She didn't know much about soul tools, so she took advantage of the spoils of war to study them properly. She, Xia Die, might not be very smart, and she couldn't compare to Ke Xia and Lei Gu Shi.

With her perspective spanning over thirty million lifetimes, coupled with the power from outside the world to negate it, and the knowledge of Douluo Continent, she might actually gain something.

The news of Wang Xian'er suppressing Jing Hongchen spread like wildfire.

The entire capital city, along with spies from various factions, seemed to mobilize instantly.

Inside the palace.

Kong Deming stood beside the elderly Emperor Riyue and calmly reported on the events of the day.
