The Beautiful CEO's Personal Mad Doctor

Chapter 414: Chapter 414: Brother, You Still Have Us

Cheng Yuan let out a long sigh. He couldn’t accept this! But what else could he do?

’Is this my fate?’

Just as utter despair filled Cheng Yuan’s heart, a chubby white figure flashed and rushed in front of him!

It was Little Silkworm!

Little Silkworm had absorbed the Medicinal Power from a handful of Three Patterns Essence Enhancement Pills, instantly returning to its peak state!

Little Silkworm once again used its desperate, life-risking power!

This time, it directly severed its potential for two transformations!

It allowed Little Silkworm to leapfrog its limits and use the—Flood Dragon Transformation!

Four small feet seemed to sprout from Little Silkworm’s chubby white body, and small bumps bulged from its head, as if sharp horns were about to emerge!

A Flood Dragon!

For a brief moment, Little Silkworm possessed the abilities of a Flood Dragon!

Legend says that a Flood Dragon playing in the water could overturn rivers and roil the seas!

Cheng Yuan had always believed this was nothing more than an ancient myth.

But now, he was witnessing a Flood Dragon playing in the water with his own two eyes!

Facing the tsunami that was dozens of meters high, Little Silkworm was completely unfazed, charging head-on into the colossal wave!

Little Silkworm’s body was tiny compared to the massive wave, yet the wave didn’t harm it in the slightest. Instead, under Little Silkworm’s guidance, the colossal wave, dozens of meters high, rapidly shrank!

By the time the wave reached Cheng Yuan, it had shrunk to a mere two meters high.

Even so, the impact sent Cheng Yuan staggering back five or six steps before he could regain his footing.

SPLASH!

The great wave dissipated. Little Silkworm could no longer maintain its Flood Dragon form. Weakened, it shrank back to the size of a thumb and curled up against Cheng Yuan’s chest.

”Brother, I did my best... I have to go into a long hibernation now! I hope I can wake up again... and see you again.”

They say a man doesn’t cry easily, but right now, tears streamed down Cheng Yuan’s face.

’Little Silkworm, you’re too foolish!’

Severing the potential for even one transformation would have severely damaged its very essence. Yet Little Silkworm had severed its potential for two transformations in a row!

If he couldn’t find a Divine Medicine, Little Silkworm might never wake up!

”Little Silkworm! You’re too foolish! You’re so, so foolish! I’m not worth this sacrifice! Little Silkworm! I swear, as long as I live, I will find you the best Heavenly Materials and Earthly Treasures! I will help you restore the potential for all three transformations!”

Cheng Yuan had no time for grief. He had to seize every moment to increase his strength.

’What if more skeletons jump onto the high platform?’

Right now, Cheng Yuan had two ways to increase his strength.

First, he could comprehend the Celestial Dao of Light and break through to the Martial King realm. If he succeeded, the True Essence in his body would increase more than tenfold! He would be able to use Moving Mountains repeatedly.

Second, he could race against time to deduce Duan Jiang and Inverted Sea. Mastering these two techniques would also cause his power to grow exponentially.

After a moment of thought, Cheng Yuan chose to focus on comprehending the Celestial Dao of Light. His reserves of True Essence were simply too small; even if he managed to deduce Duan Jiang and Inverted Sea, he wouldn’t have the power to use them repeatedly.

Breaking through to the next realm to increase his total True Essence—that was the key.

Cheng Yuan once again reached out to the Light Element Energy Factors, following them to connect with the Celestial Dao of Light.

Cheng Yuan already had some understanding of the Celestial Dao of Light, and this time, the bright light at his fingertip condensed quickly.

’Faster! Just a little faster!’

’Just one more minute, and I’ll be able to successfully condense the Light Element!’

’Then, I’ll be able to borrow a portion of the power of the Celestial Dao of Light!’

Unfortunately, the one thing Cheng Yuan lacked most was time.

While Cheng Yuan had been fighting the ten skeletons, a hundred others had recovered to their peak condition, gaining the ability to leap onto the stone platform.

However, these skeletons were true warriors who strictly abided by the rules. As long as the battle on the platform hadn’t ended, they would not interfere.

The instant the skeleton that had used Inverted Sea fell into the trench, the hundred skeletons began to stir!

But then, Little Silkworm had erupted with the might of a Flood Dragon.

Deterred by its power, the hundred skeletons had temporarily halted their advance.

Unfortunately, the Flood Dragon’s might had come and gone in a flash. Without its suppressive aura, the hundred skeletons began to stir once more.

SWOOSH! SWOOSH! SWOOSH! SWOOSH!

A hundred skeletons leaped onto the stone platform!

The combined pressure from these hundred skeletons was no less terrifying than the earlier tsunami.

A terrifying pressure swept over him, enveloping him in an instant.

The point of light at Cheng Yuan’s fingertip dissipated once again.

Cheng Yuan was furious. ’These bastards! Couldn’t they have given me just one more minute?’

With his current strength, he could handle three or four skeletons at most. Facing a hundred at once was certain death!

Little Silkworm had fallen into a deep slumber. ’What am I going to do?’

Cheng Yuan slowly drew his Broken Blade, but he still felt no sense of security.

Even with the power of the Broken Blade, he could defeat ten skeletons at most.

Facing a hundred of them... it was utterly hopeless.

’One minute. I was just one minute away!’

’Why are the heavens so cruel to me?’

’Why give me a glimpse of hope, only to plunge me back into despair?’

Just as Cheng Yuan felt a mix of despair, anger, and helplessness, a sweet voice sounded in his mind.

”Brother, don’t you worry, you still have us! The Evil Qi here is so dense, the nine of us can definitely evolve! Dealing with this bunch of skeletons will be a piece of cake.”

Cheng Yuan’s expression changed drastically. He’d almost forgotten!

There were nine pitiful little girls living in his Sea of Consciousness. They had been refined into Ghost Infants by a stable master from the He Family.

Cheng Yuan had eliminated the stable master and brought salvation to the nine little girls.

However, these nine little girls were too powerful.

Cheng Yuan’s own power was insufficient, so he had no way of helping their souls pass on yet.

So, for the time being, he could only let them reside in his Sea of Consciousness.

He would only be able to help their souls pass on after he became a Martial Emperor.

Cheng Yuan refused without hesitation. ”Xiaoyi, don’t be ridiculous! If you evolve into Ghost Kings, I won’t be able to help you pass on even if I become a Martial Emperor! I’d have to attain power that transcends this entire world to even have a chance!”

Xiaoyi’s voice was gentle. ”Brother, you’re the one who saved us, who helped us regain our senses and gave us a chance at reincarnation. You are our savior. How could we just stand by and watch you die? We have to save you, even if it means we can never reincarnate!”

The more aggressive Xiaojiu huffed. ”What’s so great about reincarnation, anyway? You just have to start all over. What if we get hurt by bad people again? I’d rather stay by Brother’s side and settle scores!”

With that, Xiaojiu was the first to rush out.

The other little girls followed, pouring out of Cheng Yuan’s Sea of Consciousness.

The very fact that the stable master could refine them into Ghost Infants was a testament to the nine little girls’ extraordinary innate talent.

They didn’t even need to actively cultivate; the Evil Qi from the entire Beast Fighting Arena flooded into them as if it were free for the taking.

Even the Evil Qi from beyond the arena began to converge madly upon them.

Before, the nine little girls’ faces had been deathly pale, their eyes lifeless, their hair sparse and yellowed. They had all the appearances of being severely malnourished.

But nourished by the Evil Qi, their complexions improved at a rate visible to the naked eye.

In the blink of an eye, the deathly pallor on their faces vanished, replaced by a rosy blush. Their hair became a glossy black, and their large, dark eyes now sparkled with life.

But Cheng Yuan’s heart only sank further.

Because nine new monsters had just been born into this world.
