Ye Wenxiao thought, "It hasn't been long since I parted ways with Ye Cang, yet his strength can unilaterally crush an S-class Awakener. It's truly incredible."

Ying Ning thought at this moment, "Wow... I knew my judgment was unique. Ye Cang is so handsome when he's serious..."

Luke thought, "It seems that during his cultivation in the Underworld, my friend's strength has already surpassed mine. Even if I used my exclusive weapon and went all out, I wouldn't be able to defeat an S-class Awakener in my current state."

"If it's really like what Sister Chen Li said, and I, Feng Lei, and Ye Cang are all genius-level Awakeners, then Ye Cang is the No. 1 in the genius ranks."

Liu Jun, the leader of the Golden Light Mercenary Group, revealed a blissful smile, as if at this moment, dawn was breaking before his eyes, welcoming the first ray of light in the darkness. He thought, "That's great... my brother-in-law is saved... this time, I finally don't have to kneel on durians when I get home."

Ye Cang turned his head and looked at the Golden Light Mercenary Group, "Ying Ning, Brother Ye, do you want to see starlight that illuminates the day?"

That crazy girl Ying Ning jumped up and down cheerfully, "I want to see it! I super want to see it!"

Ye Cang smiled slightly... then with a flash, he arrived in front of the Sword Emperor, "Chronos Zero Domain - Nightflame Trample!"

Suddenly, Ye Cang rapidly switched his body shape, stepped forward to push his body's center of gravity, while simultaneously raising his leg and lifting his knee, the knee tightly against his ribs.

Boom! A world-destroying trample... instantly, white-blue star aurora light burst out of the earth's core, soaring straight into the sky.

In an instant, the starlight shone brightly, like fallen leaves suspended in the air, swaying in the wind, drifting and falling.

The clear sky, free of clouds for ten thousand miles, seemed to feel the gentle aurora of stars at this moment, and cracks of life unfolded, allowing the starlight to shine on the sky and the earth.

This was Ye Cang's first battle since returning from the Underworld! And it was the most exhilarating one!

Ye Cang bent backward, facing the sky with his arms spread open, as if to put the vast sky into his chest.

Ye Cang roared to the sky, "Refreshing! I! Ye Cang! Am the star that illuminates the day!!!"

A shocking roar, the ambition of a man. A shocking roar, a man's conviction and determination to be unrivaled in the world and unstoppable!

The sound echoed, the nine heavens churned, shaking the four fields and eight wastelands.

Mantis and his group, seeing their trump card unilaterally crushed by Ye Cang, were about to run away!

Liu Jun quickly instructed Ye Wenxiao, "Wenxiao, hurry! Hurry and make them release my brother-in-law."

Ye Wenxiao flashed forward and stood in front of Mantis and the others, "Brother Mantis, please release our boss's brother-in-law... ten B-class Phantasms, we will definitely present them with both hands within seven days at the latest."

Mantis was a little flustered at this moment. He had never seen an Awakener who barely managed to become an A-class, actually kick an S-class Awakener to death.

His heart was pounding, and in a state of panic, his brain was already blank and at a loss. "Ah... that... your brother-in-law, right... oh... okay, here... here you go. Brothers... let's go, let's go..."

Throwing down Liu Jun's brother-in-law, Mantis and the others fled in panic. At this moment, they really hated themselves for not having more legs. They were afraid of being too slow and having their heads blown off by Ye Cang, and being sent to the Sword Emperor's place to be beaten into a table, forming a group to eat a feast.

Inside the Golden Light Mercenary base, Ye Cang came to Tian Xing's room, "Tian Xing, do you still remember me?"

Tian Xing, paralyzed in bed, had long been disheartened and was no longer the person she once was.

When she witnessed her only dearest loved one die in front of her, Tian Xing... ceased to exist in this world.

At this moment, when she heard the voice of the big brother from the past, Tian Xing suddenly opened her eyes, "Big brother, it's really you."

Suddenly, two lines of tears streaked down Tian Xing's cheeks, her eyes were filled with tears, and her face was filled with grievance. Several clear teardrops hung vaguely on her long eyelashes, refusing to fall for a long time.

Seeing this scene, Ye Cang's heart suddenly became complex and mixed with various feelings. Guilt and self-blame were like surging waves, turbulent and restless.

Ye Cang was silent, but his right hand kept wiping away Tian Xing's tears.

Everyone who saw this scene couldn't help but sigh with grief.

The atmosphere in the room suddenly dropped to freezing point...

After thinking for a moment, Luke asked, "Brother Ye, can the Dragon Spine you mentioned really heal Tian Xing?"

Ye Wenxiao did not answer at first. He looked at Ye Cang, waiting for Ye Cang's thoughts.

Ye Cang was still calm, his heart was open, and he had long ceased to value life and death so much.

That's right, his Nebula, his hometown, was destroyed by Phantasms.

After being rescued by the Chronos Quantum Vortex by luck, every life-and-death gamble, every mission, every encounter with danger...

Wasn't it Ye Cang who had been braving the wind and waves, living against the odds!!!

Without the slightest hesitation, Ye Cang asked: "Yes, Brother Ye. Can the Dragon Spine really heal Tian Xing's paralysis?"

Ying Ning didn't know why, because she didn't know whether this so-called Dragon Spine could really heal Tian Xing's paralysis.

But she... didn't want Ye Cang to be sad, so she assured Ye Cang that there would definitely be no problem.

Ye Wenxiao looked at Ying Ning, but Ying Ning's mind was full of Ye Cang at this time. So, he coughed lightly, signaling Ye Cang to come out and chat for a few words.

How quick-witted and intelligent was Ye Cang? After standing up, he said to his friend Luke: "Friend, please accompany Tian Xing for a while, I'll be right back."

Luke patted his chest, "No problem!"

Outside Tian Xing's door, Ye Wenxiao told Ye Cang, "Ye Cang, we're actually not too sure whether this Dragon Spine can heal Tian Xing. But there are similar cases where people with spinal cord injuries have been healed. You know, anything can happen."

Ye Cang nodded without speaking.

Ye Wenxiao continued, "Whether Tian Xing can be healed with the Dragon Spine is another matter. After all, it's not easy to get the Dragon Spine. If you want to get this thing, you must go to the Beast King Nebula and kill a dragon-shaped Phantasm above S-class."

"Then peel open its back, extract the dragon's spine, and finally use the healing pod to perform a spinal transplant operation for Tian Xing."

"Friend, although you can defeat S-class Awakeners, I admit that you are very strong. But S-class Phantasms and S-class Awakeners are still some distance apart. If you want to defeat an S-class Phantasm, you need at least two Awakeners of the same level."

"But... S-class itself is like a rumor in the world. It is already the peak achievement of an Awakener's life for an ordinary person to reach Hero-level combat power."

"So... you have to think clearly, because this is almost impossible to do."

Ye Cang took a deep breath and exhaled slowly, "Brother Ye, will an S-class Dragon Wraith work?"

Ye Wenxiao chuckled, thinking, "Oh well! I said so much just now, and it's like I said nothing! Fine, I'll tell you..."

Ye Wenxiao answered seriously: "Of course Dragon Wraiths work. But you need to be careful."

"Because after our Awakeners reach A-class combat power, and our Chronos Quantum Boundary Synchronization Rate reaches 13%, we will have our own exclusive weapon."

"Conversely, those Phantasms will have their own exclusive armor. It's equivalent to a battle of shields and spears. When facing those Phantasms that are armed to the teeth, you first need to break through their defenses before you can defeat them."

Ye Cang nodded, "I understand, Brother Ye."

Afterwards, Ye Cang walked into Tian Xing's room, "Friend, I plan to go to the Beast King Nebula again to find the Dragon Spine for Tian Xing. So, please go back to the Chronos Fortress and tell them that I may be back later."

Luke was unhappy after hearing this, "Friend! What do you mean? Don't forget, you and I once went to the Underworld to cultivate together, you and I fought side by side, supporting each other and advancing together!"

Ye Cang knew his friend Luke's personality, and he would never agree. He explained: "Friend, don't get excited. Think about it, even Xier doesn't know where you and I went on this trip. One of us has to go back and explain my purpose in going to the Beast King Nebula, right?"

After hesitating for a long time, Luke finally made up his mind, "That's no problem! Friend, I'll go back to the Chronos Fortress first. After that, I'll set off for the Beast King Nebula and fight alongside my friend!"
