Chapter 146: Supreme-Grade Cultivation Technique
Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios
After an unknown period of time, Zhou Chen gradually recovered his consciousness.
“So painful, I’m actually not dead. Looks like the Undying passive skill has taken effect.”
He felt intense pain all over his body, his head was ringing, and his vision was blurry. He did not remember much before passing out. He only remembered that he had activated the Undying passive skill.
The name Undying passive skill sounded like a cheat, but in fact, it was not really Undying. It could make Zhou Chen be like a vampire, losing all kinds of vital parts of the ordinary person. He could gradually recover from fatal injuries. At the same time, the weakness of vampires that were afraid of holy light and silverware was also inherited.
The life-preservation effect of this passive skill was very powerful, but it was not impossible to break. Apart from the weakness of the holy light and silverware, if someone burned Zhou Chen to ashes or directly swallowed him and digested him, he would die.
However, this time, Zhou Chen felt that his luck was not bad. He was now sure that the true dragon was not nearby. It did not swallow him, nor did it spit fire to burn him to ashes.
“It’s good that I’m alive. After my body recovers for a while, I should be able to move.”
Zhou Chen no longer had any extravagant hopes of obtaining any rewards. He only wanted to live on. Only those who had experienced death could deeply understand the terror that existed between life and death.
Although his body had been crushed by the dragon claws and he was piled on the ground like broken pieces, unable to move or see his surroundings, it was fortunate that he was able to survive.
Time continued to pass. Under the effect of the Undying passive skill, Life Recovery passive skill, and Pure Yang Overlord Body talent, Zhou Chen gradually felt that his condition was getting better. His vision became clearer, and there was no longer any buzzing in his head.
‘As expected, there’s no trace of that true dragon around. I hope it won’t return.’
Zhou Chen was a little afraid that the true dragon who had ignored him because of its contempt and negligence would return, so he first looked at the distance to confirm that there was no trace of the true dragon.
Suddenly, he seemed to have noticed something out of the corner of his eye, but he could not see clearly. He could not turn his head that was tilted to the side because he was basically in a vegetative state. If he wanted to move, he had to wait for his broken body to recover much more.
Zhou Chen had to spend a day in this state. He endured the sharp pain of his body being broken and repaired. Finally, his hands were healed. Although they still looked like a bloody mess, he could barely move them.
“This is great…”
After realizing that his arms could barely move, Zhou Chen opened his inventory with a thought. Then, he slowly and with great difficulty took out the mid-tier healing potion. He struggled to open the bottle and poured the remaining potion into his mouth.
After drinking the mid-tier healing potions, the healing speed of his body immediately increased. His current mangled body quickly became human-like, looking like a seriously injured person and not like the pile of rotten meat from before.
“I will use the remaining low-tier healing potions as well. Their numbers should produce some effect.”
Zhou Chen, who had recovered a lot, took out all of his low-tier healing potions from his inventory and drank them. Then, he took out the honey wine and longevity peach and finished them. Although these two foods had no healing effect, they could replenish his energy that was rapidly depleting.
Zhou Chen’s body condition continued to rapidly recover. From the seriously injured state just now, he was now in an injured state.
At this point, Zhou Chen finally felt alive. He barely got up from the ground and looked at the thing he had noticed earlier.
It was a jade slip that floated in the air more than half a meter above the ground. It was emitting a profound aura. Beside the jade slip was a door which showed the scene of the guest room he had stayed in earlier.
When Zhou Chen focused on the floating jade slip, the details showed up.

“Did I pass the test?”
Zhou Chen, who had survived the disaster, looked at the system details and felt a great joy in his heart. He slowly walked to the jade slip and picked it up. He placed it in his inventory and walked into the shining door that led to his room.
The reason why he was in such a hurry to return was because he was not sure if the terrifying true dragon from before would return, so he quickly fled.
After returning to his room, Zhou Chen changed his clothes and washed his face briefly to make himself look more normal. Then, he left the guest room and ordered food.
His body was quickly recovering, so he urgently needed energy which meant he needed a lot of food.
An hour later, Zhou Chen, who had eaten a large number of steamed buns, plates of vegetables, and meat dishes, returned to his room and rested.
When he woke up the next morning, he finally felt that his body had recovered. He had already reached eighty to ninety percent of his peak condition. He should recover completely in two more days.
In order to recuperate, he decided to spend the last few days of the Survival mission at the inn.
In the room, he took out the Eight Desolates Coiling Dragon Supreme Art jade slip he had obtained earlier and began to study it.
He gradually fell into a trance as he began to meditate.
It was not until late at night that his meditation was interrupted by a little bird that kept chirping outside his window.
“Have you found the rapist?”
If others heard the little bird’s cry, they would only think that it was noisy and annoying. However, Zhou Chen, who had the Beast King passive skill, could tell that the little bird was telling him that there was progress in the mission he had given them.
“Continue to monitor him. Tell me his whereabouts at noon tomorrow.”
After some thought, Zhou Chen decided that it was better not to go out at this late hour. He was currently engrossed in researching the supreme-grade cultivation technique in his hand and had no time to care about that rapist.
The little bird outside the window quickly left after receiving the instructions. Zhou Chen continued to study the jade slip and train in the Eight Desolates Coiling Dragon Supreme Art.
He cultivated until two in the morning before forcing himself to sleep because he knew that his body had not completely recovered and could not be too taxed..
