Chapter 1648 - 1649: Regeneration Ability
At this moment, Sunx Wukong and Ye Lingyun had been fighting fiercely, their battle reaching a white‑hot stage, but Ye Lingyun’s combat experience was far inferior to Sunx Wukong’s. Sunx Wukong was famous for war, especially for his copper skin and iron bones. By now Ye Lingyun’s body was damaged in many places, with multiple split wounds where his finger bones joined his steel claws—these were caused by the golden staff Sunx Wukong used to attack.
However, as Ye Lingyun’s stamina visibly declined and his offense gradually turned into defense, Sunx Wukong landed a heavy blow on him, suppressing Ye Lingyun so completely he couldn’t defend at all.
At this point Ye Lingyun was depressed as hell. Every one of his abilities was weaker than Sunx Wukong’s. When he used his laser eyes, he was hurt by Sunx Wukong’s fiery red eyes in return, his own eyes swelling red and bleeding. Right now Ye Lingyun felt especially miserable.
In the end, while Ye Lingyun was still trying to defend, Sunx Wukong seized an opening and smashed the golden staff straight into Ye Lingyun’s waist. Ye Lingyun was already at his limit. Under that strike he lost all ability to resist and was knocked directly into a mountainside.
Looking at Ye Lingyun, who had already lost the power to resist, Sunx Wukong said regretfully, "I thought you were so strong. In the end, you’re not even as good as Erlang."
"What!" Sunx Wukong was also startled by Ye Lingyun at that moment, but he quickly calmed down, sensing Ye Lingyun’s strength growing greater and greater, and Sunx Wukong unleashed all of his Anti-Buddhist Technique!
But Sunx Wukong was in no mood to allow any action against him. Ye Lingyun rushed in and wrapped his arms around Sunx Wukong, then slammed Sunx Wukong hard into the ground.
"Thud!" It was the first time Sunx Wukong had ever been hurled to the ground in such a simple, brutal way.
Before Sunx Wukong had time to react, Ye Lingyun grabbed one of Sunx Wukong’s legs and smashed him into the ground over and over, a good seven or eight times.
At this point Sunx Wukong was completely rattled, his senses scrambled. Although it didn’t truly injure him, being hit directly in such a crude, rough manner was extremely unpleasant.
In the end Ye Lingyun got bored. After one more slam into the ground, he flung Sunx Wukong straight up into the sky, then himself shot up after him like a missile, and drove a punch square into Sunx Wukong’s face.
Although Sunx Wukong was dizzy at that instant, he still reacted, adjusting his position in mid‑air. He also swung a punch at Ye Lingyun’s fist.
Man and monkey hung in the air for half a second, then both were blasted away. In no time they were driven apart by the force of that impact, separated by nearly 19 kilometers. But in the very next second the two were at it again. This time the monkey was in a full Lei Ting rage, not using any Magic at all, choosing the simplest and most brutal close‑quarters fighting style.
Sunx Wukong wanted to see just where Ye Lingyun’s physical limit lay.
Ye Lingyun at this moment grew only more ferocious. Whether his body was badly injured or not, Ye Lingyun fought Sunx Wukong to the bitter end, making it clear that either you die or I live.
Sunx Wukong found this troublesome, because he still had a mission on him. If he and this kid fought to the very end, then even if they finally smashed the enemy to pieces... Thinking of this, Sunx Wukong had no choice but to summon the Somersault Cloud to open up some distance, preparing to use his Buddhist Law to awaken Ye Lingyun.
Because right now Ye Lingyun would only keep knocking down enemies until either their biological functions ceased, or he fell into an endless loop.
Seeing Sunx Wukong pull away, Ye Lingyun let out a low, furious roar, stepped onto the mountain and kept leaping up; his whole person became a human missile.
The soil under his feet began to crumble, bits of rock constantly breaking off and tumbling to the ground, vanishing into the dust.
Though Ye Lingyun kept falling back down, every time he landed he would leap up again. Just like that, Ye Lingyun kept pursuing Sunx Wukong at extreme speed.
Ye Lingyun was constantly closing the distance to Sunx Wukong, but as the other kept soaring, Ye Lingyun was still dragged further behind—this was the Hulk’s berserk mode’s drawback, the Hulk’s consciousness didn’t know how to use an Angel’s wings!
Now Ye Lingyun roared furiously in place, while Sunx Wukong floated in mid‑air and began chanting.
The Golden Classics began to surround Sunx Wukong, his entire person wrapped in a sacred aura.
At this moment a hole opened in the thick clouds overhead, a shaft of light shooting down from sky to earth, shining upon the restless, agitated Ye Lingyun.
Right now Ye Lingyun was like the lead on a stage, caught in the focus of a spotlight.
But now Ye Lingyun was being restricted by Buddhist Law. Once the Hulk went berserk, Ye Lingyun could no longer distinguish right from wrong. He tried to smash the Holy Light Barrier with his fists.
However, the effect of Ye Lingyun’s heavy punches against it was like nothing more than little ripples spreading across the screen of Holy Light, having no real impact at all.
Up in the sky, Sunx Wukong had finished his recitation of Buddhism. The scripture circling around him began to follow that beam of light down from the heavens to Ye Lingyun’s side.
Ye Lingyun’s eyes were bloodshot now; he had no idea how to deal with those roaring Buddhist Scripture verses.
Ye Lingyun raised his hands to block those runes, only to find that the runes passed straight through his uplifted arms, burrowing rapidly into his body.
Once shrouded by the Buddhist Scripture, Ye Lingyun at last calmed down, sitting silently on the ground without saying a word.
At this moment, all the frenzied blood in Ye Lingyun’s body settled, but this also inflicted tremendous damage on his flesh, because Ye Lingyun had been forced into violence mode; the Hulk’s Genetic Awakening had erupted with greater power in adversity, inflicting severe trauma on Ye Lingyun’s blood vessels.
With internal Buddhist Law aiding his self‑healing, Ye Lingyun also regained some consciousness; the red glow in his eyes faded, but Ye Lingyun had no strength left. He felt like he’d been hit by a train, his entire body gravely injured, despite possessing Wolverine‑like self‑healing.
Ye Lingyun was now in a comatose state, and the golden light formed by Buddhism around him gradually faded as Sunx Wukong’s chanting ended. Yan also arrived at Ye Lingyun’s side at this moment.
Yan held Ye Lingyun, looking at the big boy in her arms. Yan’s tears fell. She was tormented inside.
She knew Ye Lingyun’s past. Since coming down to the human world, Ye Lingyun had suffered constant hardship. After becoming an Angel, he fought in countless battles. To protect his "mentally challenged" planet, Earth had once again borne enormous pain.
Yan could no longer control her emotions, letting the tears flow freely. She wanted to help Ye Lingyun, continuously pouring Angel energy into him.
But right now Ye Lingyun seemed like an insulator—no energy could be injected. Fortunately, Ye Lingyun’s own recovery genes were very strong. What Yan Lianke could sense now was that Ye Lingyun was in the process of healing.
Yet for the moment, the crisis did not seem resolved. Yan didn’t know Sunx Wukong’s true purpose, but she felt no fear. As an Angel of the highest civilization, she was already used to looking down on all things, and Sunx Wukong was merely an enemy in her eyes.
At this time, Sunx Wukong lay on the rolling clouds in the sky, knowing he couldn’t explain himself clearly and not bothering with others’ opinions, because while chanting Buddhist Law he had also healed all the Black-armored Soldiers he had injured.
By now Rose had also recovered her Yuan Qi, and all the surrounding Black-armored Soldiers had gotten back on their feet; around them, Sunx Wukong had already gone his separate way.
"What’s going on? How come I feel totally fine!" Glenn was the first to react.
"Not just fine—my abilities are stronger too. I feel I can communicate with Earth much better now!" Yao Wen also noticed his own changes.
All the Black-armored Soldiers had gone all out in this battle; it was precisely this Spirit of fighting to the death and coming back that moved Sunx Wukong. After so many years of war, Sunx Wukong had seen too many people bolt from Death God’s shadow, even surrendering their teammates. But on this land where he had awakened, not a single one of these many warriors ran—they all fought him head‑on, and Sunx Wukong was deeply moved.
So when Ye Lingyun and they were brought back, Sunx Wukong also infused them with Buddhism’s energy, allowing them to re‑evolve. This time, Sunx Wukong gave them a tremendous opportunity. If each of them could grasp it, then the Black-armored Soldier group would become an even more fearsome force.
But Sunx Wukong paid special attention to Ye Lingyun. He not only provided Buddhist Scripture for his recovery, but also guided his own power to help Ye Lingyun sort out his meridians, making his future evolutions smoother. This was precisely why, when Yan tried to heal Ye Lingyun, she found her energy couldn’t enter Ye Lingyun’s body.
