Chapter 128: The Magical Nine Heart Begonia

Although this level of combat was already at the level of "chicks pecking at each other" for Zhou Heng, he could close his eyes and, without using soul power, beat all fourteen people, including Dugu Yan, to a pulp with his fists within ten seconds; if he used soul power, he could even finish off the previous team as well within ten seconds.

However, as a boyfriend with a close relationship with Dugu Yan, Zhou Heng still observed Dugu Yan properly from the side, occasionally offering her encouragement.

Incidentally, he used his spiritual power to examine these people's martial souls and soul skills to see if there was anything to be gained.

Among the fourteen people, Zhou Heng could see through thirteen of them; even the strange Baoyu Beast Martial Soul could be roughly understood.

But only Ye Lingling's Nine Heart Begonia was something Zhou Heng truly could not see through.

The first time he saw the healing power of the Nine Heart Begonia, Zhou Heng thought it was because his own realm was too low and the super martial soul was too special.

And now Zhou Heng was certain that while the reason he couldn't see through it back then was indeed due to his own low strength, the more important factor was that the Nine Heart Begonia was simply too special.

If it weren't for the fact that Zhou Heng's current spiritual power could see things like soul power and life energy, he himself wouldn't have dared to believe it.

It turned out that for the Nine Heart Begonia martial soul, the consumption for healing external wounds and internal injuries was actually the same.

Douluo Continent is a world similar to an online game, where many common elements of online games such as leveling up, changing classes, percentage increases, and set bonuses can be found.

But in reality, Douluo Continent is not a true online game world in the literal sense.

In this world, although healing-type abilities are indeed very unique and powerful, they still have to follow basic laws.

It is simpler to repair non-vital parts than vital parts, and it is simpler to repair parts that humans can regenerate than parts that cannot be regenerated.

It is simpler to repair blood vessels than nerves, and it is simpler to repair external wounds than internal injuries.

Even for internal injuries, the level of repair differs; the difficulty of repairing a liver, which can regenerate, is simpler than that of the heart or kidneys.

Once the brain is damaged, it is almost impossible to repair.

If an arm or leg is cut by a blade, versus an internal organ being stabbed by a sword, in most cases, the latter is often more fatal.

For most people, they would rather have their arms or legs smashed into meat paste than have their internal organs split into three or five pieces.

It is not like a game where, in a near-death state of 1/100, one is hit by a healing spell and immediately has their stamina replenished, allowing them to jump around again.

In reality, for the vast majority of low-level Healing-type Soul Masters, their advantage over conventional doctors is that they can treat internal organs, which general doctors have absolutely no way to handle.

Even though Zhou Heng now has a Soul Core in his body that can convert Life Energy, he still has to follow basic laws.

The life energy consumed to repair internal organ injuries is also much greater than that for injuries like arms or legs.

The more precise the area being treated, the more energy and life energy it consumes.

This is common knowledge in this world; "a hundred days to heal broken bones and tendons" is also applicable in the Douluo World, and internal organ damage is more dangerous and harder to treat than skin damage.

For some precise parts that are difficult to regenerate, even a Healing-type Soul Master might not be able to make them grow back.

And the problem is, the Nine Heart Begonia ignores this rule.

It completely ignores such things as common sense; it is truly as unreasonable as those healing spells in online games, completely ignoring the location of the injury when healing.

Zhou Heng observed for a long time and clearly discovered that the Nine Heart Begonia's healing ability does not care about precision at all, whether it is a leg injury or a kidney injury.

The soul power consumed is the same. Just now, a Soul Master was accidentally hit and had some internal bleeding; Ye Lingling casually cast a healing soul skill, and the internal organs were healed directly.

On the contrary, the large-area abrasions on the outside recovered more slowly than the internal organs.

Bones, internal organs, and even nerves—these are theoretically parts that recover more slowly than normal human flesh and blood, or are even non-regenerative.

With one skill from Ye Lingling, the recovery speed was just like recovering skin and flesh.

It seems that in the eyes of the Nine Heart Begonia, the precision of healing does not exist at all; one only needs to invest soul power, and all damage will be repaired equally.

Zhou Heng even suspected that the soul power consumed by the Nine Heart Begonia to heal brain damage was at the same level as healing external wounds.

At first, Zhou Heng could pretend to be looking at everyone, but as the fight went on, one of Zhou Heng's eyes was fixed tightly on Ye Lingling, and the other was fixed tightly on the target being healed by Ye Lingling, leaving him no time to even look at Dugu Yan.

At first, Ye Lingling thought Zhou Heng was shocked by her healing ability, but as Zhou Heng kept staring at her, even Ye Lingling on the battlefield felt uncomfortable being stared at; she couldn't even attend to her duties, turned her head to give Zhou Heng a deep look, sighed heavily, and only then continued to focus on the battlefield.

Ten-plus minutes later, after everyone had finished fighting, Ye Lingling consumed soul power to heal the injuries on everyone's bodies.

During this period, Chen Ming stared intently at Ye Lingling's soul power fluctuations and the condition of the injured.

After a short while, the healed Dugu Yan came to Zhou Heng's side, blocked Zhou Heng's gaze with her own body, and looked at Zhou Heng with some grievance.

Clearly, Zhou Heng's gaze, which was like that of a pervert, not only made Ye Lingling somewhat embarrassed but also gave Dugu Yan some bad suspicions.

It was only because Zhou Heng was just looking, and even if his gaze was a bit too intense, he hadn't crossed the line, so Dugu Yan could only look at Zhou Heng with grievance, hoping Zhou Heng would restrain himself a little.

"I feel that Ye Lingling's Nine Heart Begonia martial soul is so magical; it's different from all the martial souls I've seen before, and it's more special than all healing-type martial souls."

If one were to remove the word "martial soul" from this sentence of Zhou Heng's, this sentence would undoubtedly be a pervert's remark.

But after adding the two words "martial soul," Dugu Yan breathed a sigh of relief.

After all, in the process of long-term interaction, Dugu Yan had also discovered that Zhou Heng could indeed observe things that ordinary people could not, and he had a set of understandings about martial souls and Soul Masters that was independent of the masses.

Although sometimes his descriptions would make people feel that this understanding was a bit abstract, facts proved that Zhou Heng had never had any problems in this regard.

Even her own grandfather could not help but be convinced by it.

Dugu Yan walked to Ye Lingling's side and whispered a few words into Ye Lingling's ear; only then did Ye Lingling, who had been tense and stiff, relax slightly.

Dugu Yan was one of Ye Lingling's few friends, and Ye Lingling was also one of Dugu Yan's few friends. Two young girls of similar age and similar family background had a relationship with each other that was much better than most people imagined. It was absolutely not the superficial kind of best-friendship.

Therefore, Ye Lingling was still very reassured about Dugu Yan.
