241: The gangster is in power!!!

She simultaneously maintained two Jellyfish to heal the severed part of her neck.

However, healing her Wood Transformation-affected body was only secondary.

The key now lay in dispelling the Wood Transformation while still maintaining her life force.

Shui Yuqianxi took a deep breath and continued to squeeze out her body's life force.

In an instant, her left arm was also wrapped in water currents, which then condensed into armor, covering her left arm.

A pair of Jellyfish arm armors had been completely summoned.

What followed was the most critical part.

She had to use the power of the [Fire Finch] again to dispel the power of the Wood Transformation, and in this process, keep [Jellyfish M] constantly maintaining the healing.

This was also the reason why Shui Yuqianxi summoned the entire set of Jellyfish arm armors.

Compared to just one arm armor, the full set of Jellyfish arm armors allowed Shui Yuqianxi to manipulate the power of [Jellyfish M] more autonomously.

Click!

As the [Fire Finch] was inserted into the Summoner, Shui Yuqianxi's body temperature rose rapidly once again.

The pair of Jellyfish arm armors also ignited with fiery patterns.

She extended her palms and slapped them toward the two people simultaneously.

She could not dispel all the Wood Transformation in an instant; she had to dispel it part by part.

And during this process, she had to carefully maintain the physical vitality of the dispelled parts.

This process had to be done slowly.

This was the first time Shui Yuqianxi had manipulated the power of [Jellyfish M] so carefully.

It was precisely because of this that she was able to feel the subtle changes in [Jellyfish M].

The healing effect of this Sea Spirit Card had become stronger.

If before it was purely about letting wounds grow and repair.

Now it was more inclined toward infusing life force, allowing the body to recover while also ensuring it recovered more thoroughly, without leaving any blind spots.

This method of infusing life force was naturally more advanced.

It was not just [Jellyfish M]; if the previous Sea Spirit Record was a basic Level 1 Sea Spirit Record bound to the [Sea Spirit Armor].

Then the current Sea Spirit Record was a Level 2 Sea Spirit Record.

All the Sea Spirit Cards had been strengthened.

However, the cost was a greater consumption of physical stamina.

Shui Yuqianxi could only squeeze her body's potential and life force even more recklessly.

Extending from her limbs toward her torso, she dispelled the Wood Transformation bit by bit.

Then she infused life force into the locations where the Wood Transformation had been dispelled, letting those areas come back to life.

After the limbs were completely cleared of Wood Transformation and imbued with life force.

Then came the torso.

Sweat kept seeping from Shui Yuqianxi's forehead, and her face became increasingly pale.

The structure inside the torso was obviously more complex.

Various internal organs could not be neglected.

As the torso was completely cleared of Wood Transformation, she finally, on this basis, dispelled the Wood Transformation in her head and brain.

The most important part was saved for last.

This allowed the rest of her body, which had already been infused with life force and brought back to life, to assist the most important brain in maintaining vital activity.

For example, at the moment the brain was cleared of Wood Transformation, the revived heart and lungs would immediately transport blood and oxygen to the brain.

Regarding the brain, Shui Yuqianxi did not dare to be the slightest bit careless, and she even forcibly activated her Minds Eye.

She first dispelled the Wood Transformation in the main blood vessels of the brain, allowing blood to be transported up.

Then, following the blood vessels, she infused the energy of [Jellyfish M], allowing it to autonomously dissolve all the Wood Transformation in the capillaries.

Subsequently, radiating outward along the blood vessels and capillaries, she dispelled the Wood Transformation in the brain, muscles, and bones bit by bit.

The entire process was like a delicate surgery.

Shui Yuqianxi herself did not know when it ended, or what happened afterward.

When she woke up, she was lying in a hospital bed.

An oxygen mask was placed over her nose and mouth. She moved her head and realized that one of her arms had a needle inserted, continuously receiving medication.

'It looks like I survived.'

She had not been unconscious for very long, only one day and one night.

After all, as a Summoner of the Water Armor, her constitution and healing abilities were unrivaled.

But even so, she was left with severe sequelae.

Such as tinnitus, auditory hallucinations, and balance disorders.

She had basically lost her ability as an Armor Summoner and could no longer fight.

It was only after she got out of bed the next day that she discovered these changes in her body.

"Don't worry, Sister Shui Yu; Sister White Feather has already formulated a rehabilitation plan for you."

"These sequelae can be overcome; if you recover well, you can still continue to fight."

Shui Yuqianxi still understood Mumen Se's comforting words.

However, she was very glad that Mumen Se and Kajiya Itten had been saved by her.

Those so-called rehabilitation exercises would at most only allow her to return to a normal life.

Of course, her body's basic physical qualities remained; as long as her balance function recovered, she would still be far stronger than an ordinary person.

In the afternoon, leaning on crutches, she went to the base's research center.

Although she could have used a wheelchair, she insisted on using crutches.

The [sea spirit summoner] was damaged and could not drive Sea Spirit Cards for the time being.

But according to White Feather's tests using special instruments, the energy of the sea spirit summoner was gradually recovering.

The damage was not irreversible, which was the silver lining in this misfortune.

"Have you found the successor to the Sea Spirit Armor?"

After listening to White Feather's description, Shui Yuqianxi asked.

"...No, you..."

White Feather looked at the crutches Shui Yuqianxi was leaning on, not knowing how to speak for a moment.

"Perhaps it is better to retire; you have already given enough for humanity."

"To ask you to fight again would be too selfish."

White Feather was truly thinking this in her heart; she felt very guilty.

It was just that, given her personality, these emotions would not be shown.

"It is not time yet; it is not time for me to retire."

"Although there are some problems with my sense of balance now, I can re-adapt."

"Auditory hallucinations and such will not affect me too much."

"Before the sea spirit summoner recovers, I will adjust my state."

Shui Yuqianxi leaned on her crutches, and the dim sea spirit summoner inside the glass case seemed to be responding to Shui Yuqianxi's will, flashing with blue light.

"The research on the sea spirit summoner is finished; I will deliver it to you tonight."

"Perhaps it will have an effect on your recovery."

White Feather also noticed the light from the sea spirit summoner.

"The sea spirit summoner seems to think you can still fight; it still hopes for you to fight, and it still recognizes you."

"What an unreasonable fellow."

Shui Yuqianxi responded with a smile.

Her physical fitness was still there; as long as she overcame the balance disorder, she could continue to fight.

She would definitely have to suffer a lot in the process, though.

Although everyone seemed to be comforting her, Shui Yuqianxi felt that she could overcome it.

And... the Summoner still recognized her.

Even if only for the Summoner's recognition, Shui Yuqianxi was willing to risk her life for it.

Shui Yuqianxi had come here leaning on crutches, besides to confirm whether her beloved sea spirit summoner was damaged.

There was one other thing that concerned her...

"I heard that a new attribute Summoner has appeared."

"Indeed, one has been screened; after testing with the Five Elements Disc, its Gold attribute compatibility reached 52%."

"What is his name?"

Shui Yuqianxi asked.

"Gongye Shiyi."

"A high school student, but he is an adult because he was held back a year and took a leave of absence."

"Why did he take a leave of absence?"

"Assaulting a teacher."

"...The Five Elements Disc and the Summoner didn't malfunction?"

"Hmm."
