Help The Villainess Trapped in the Beast World's Drama (by Lotus Seeds) novel Chapter 740

Chapter 740: Chapter 626: Superpower Restored! (3)

The System watched all this, heart aching.

The host really was too bitterly hard-pressed, too burdened.

When it came down to it, she was just a girl in her twenties, yet she had to shoulder so much.

Shen Tang had no idea what the System was thinking. She actually didn’t feel she was suffering that much, nor did she need anyone’s pity. On the contrary, she was intoxicated by battle and enjoyed the process.

On the Beast World Continent, she had indeed gone through plenty of battles, but ever since becoming Emperor, she spent most of her time plotting and commanding from the palace, rarely stepping onto the battlefield herself.

In this one month in the Wasteland Zone, she had fought more battles than in all her time on the Beast World Continent combined, and the enemies she faced were far stronger than before.

In these extreme battles, Shen Tang’s combat power was tempered to a terrifying degree.

In past fights, she had mostly relied on the sheer strength of her superpowers, using High-level superpowers to crush her opponents. But whenever she ran into enemies of the same level, she was often at a disadvantage; her combat experience, technique, and proficiency in using her superpowers were far inferior to theirs.

Now, in this complex and harsh battlefield, under the tempering of extreme combat, Shen Tang’s control over her superpowers had grown stronger, her combat skills had improved dramatically, and she had fused superpower and technique into one, unleashing even greater strength!

Suddenly, Shen Tang’s steps faltered as she sensed an aura coming from behind.

Without even turning her head, an Ice Blade shot out and instantly skewered the Mutant Species that had burst from the ground.

When she turned, she saw a giant loach-like Mutant Species nailed to the rock face. What surprised her was that this Mutant Species was still several hundred meters away from her, nowhere near close enough to be called a sneak attack.

Yet just now, it was like she had "seen" it in her mind.

As if... there were spiritual power tendrils helping her "see."

Realizing this, Shen Tang held her breath in an instant.

Hadn’t her spiritual power disappeared along with her shattered Crystal Core?

How could this be...

She closed her eyes and tried again, and actually found a wisp of familiar force emerging from within. A thread of spiritual power condensed in her palm.

Light flared instantly in her eyes. 𝙛𝒓𝓮𝒆𝔀𝒆𝙗𝓷𝒐𝙫𝒆𝙡.𝒄𝓸𝓶

This was real!

Not an illusion?!

Although this trace of spiritual power was far weaker than back in the day—so weak it could almost be ignored—so weak that even a newly awakened child might be stronger than her, the spiritual power truly existed!

Shen Tang’s eyes grew hot, almost brimming with tears. Her voice trembled with excitement. "System, look quickly, my spiritual power seems to have come back. What on earth is going on?"

The System was also stunned by this discovery. It quickly examined the host’s body and exclaimed, [My god, this... this really is a miracle!]

"What exactly is going on? Weren’t my superpowers already gone?"

Suppressing its wild joy, the System patiently explained, [In theory, yes. The Crystal Core is where the superpowers are stored in the body. Once the Crystal Core shatters, the superpowers disappear as well. But superpowers don’t vanish as if they never existed. Every time a Beastman uses a superpower, the energy floods their flesh and blood, always leaving the tiniest trace that won’t fade completely in a short time.]

[So, there is actually an extremely faint residue of superpower energy remaining in the host’s bloodline. This trace is so weak it can’t even be compared to the tree roots left after chopping down a tree; it’s more like, after you dig the tree out by the roots, there are still a few hair-thin rootlets left behind in the soil.]

[Under normal circumstances, those rootlets would completely wither over time, with almost no chance of growing into a big tree again. Unless... they receive an extraordinary amount of nourishment far beyond the norm!]

Hearing this, Shen Tang more or less understood. That so-called "nourishment" was battle.

It was undeniable that combat and bloodshed—especially life-and-death battles that pushed you beyond your limits—most easily stimulated the Superpower within a Beastman and made it stronger.

Just to use that to force out her Healing Ability.

The System watched, scared out of its wits, but it couldn’t talk her out of it.

Who’s the most stubborn donkey in the world? Obviously, its host.

The System regretted it bitterly, terrified that it had done something stupid and would end up costing the host her life.

Unexpectedly, the host’s suicidal battle style actually worked.

She really did manage to catalyze a Healing Ability!

The gentle green superpower, full of vitality, fell over her body like a warm spring breeze. Pain vanished rapidly, and wounds healed with astonishing speed.

Even though Shen Tang’s Healing was only at Basic level right now, its effect was already better than the finest healing potions!

With the Healing Ability, Shen Tang felt far more confident.

She moved through the Wasteland Zone like a fish in water.

Later, a rumor began to circulate in the Wasteland Zone:

There was a solitary, beautiful female, like a Devil crawling out of Hell. Her beauty was more lethal than poisoned poppies, and wherever she passed, no one was left alive. Even Overlord Level Mutant Species died at her hands, and she was called the "Jade-faced Rakshasa"!

Kind reminder: if you encounter a lone, beautiful female in the Wasteland Zone, remember, do not provoke her at any cost!

Run!

Run as fast and as far as you can!
