After The Abyss Dragon Woke Up

Couldn’t Stand it Anymore (2)

Although the Bureau had not fully understood the cause and pattern of the appearance of the abyssal rift until now…

The appearance of the abyssal rift has been far too frequent recently.

In the past, it might be years or even decades before an abyssal rift appeared once in an area. In contrast, he had just dealt with the abyssal rift within the Ability Academy this year and not even half a year later, a second one had appeared in the same district.

It didn’t seem like a coincidence.

“…” Wen Yao choked.

She looked toward Shi An for help, hoping the other party could say something.

Only to see that the young man had raised his head at some point, looking thoughtfully in this direction, his eyes dark, unable to tell what he was thinking.

Only to hear Shi An open his mouth and ask. “That… Can I also go?”

“What?” Wen Yao and Zhuo Fu’s eyes widened, not expecting the other party to make such a request.

Mu Heng frowned and flatly refused. “No.”

Recently, when he had been recuperating in the hospital, Shi An had found out that he had not seen any hint of growth in strength ever since he had absorbed all the magic power in his dragon molt.

As for what the reason was, Shi An could not have understood it better.

The magical power within the abyss and that on the continent were different in their essential composition.

Although he was not like the other abyssal species that would be weakened after coming to the continent, the growth of magic power was limited.

He could use his magic power and dragon flame without worries when he was in the Aiwen District earlier because the dragon molt still provided him with a constant supply of magic power.

Although the dragon molt had been absorbed now, he was much stronger than the time when he had just woken up.

However, Shi An knew clearly that waiting for his magic power to return naturally on the mainland was too slow. If he could not find a new way to recover his magic power, the magic power stored in his body now would be depleted sooner or later.

At that time, not to mention recovering his strength and grabbing back the treasure, it might not even be easy to protect himself.

And the appearance of the abyssal rift this time was like timely assistance for him.

Shi An remembered what he had found in the last abyssal rift. The thing called the Eye of the Abyss.

The magical power it contained from the abyss was very pure. Last time, due to his recklessness, he did not have time to carefully study how to absorb the magical power contained in it before he was forced to spit out the Eye of the Abyss due to leaving the abyss.

If he could get a closer look this time, he could find a way to absorb it.

However, it did not matter, even if it could remain unabsorbed this time.

After all, for Shi An, standing inside the abyssal rift was already a boost to his strength.

Shi An said seriously, “I’m very strong.”

Wen Yao was stunned and suddenly recalled the words Zhao She had said earlier in the Aiwen District.

He said that Shi An was very strong, maybe even stronger than them.

Plus… Shi An had also been in the southern canyon and he alone with the power of his own two fists had drawn away the attention of a large army of mercenaries.

Wen Yao inexplicably recalled the scene when she first met Shi An.

It was in the banquet hall of the Shi family's main residence. In the darkness, countless human-faced insects were on their backs, completely dead, and right in the middle of the densely-packed corpses of the deteriorating insects stood a teenager who looked out of place in the surroundings.

He looked calm and unharmed.

Perhaps… Zhao She wasn’t exaggerating.

Shi An wasn’t lying either.

Wen Yao thought seriously for a long time and slowly said, “I approve.”

Mu Heng frowned and raised his eyes in Wen Yao’s direction.

Wen Yao flinched slightly but insisted and continued, “Sir, what you said is right. We’re indeed short of staffing, so maybe we can use every extra hand we can get. Moreover, Shi An has also displayed his strength in the Aiwen District–”

Mu Heng’s brows knitted tighter together.

Wen Yao had a straight face. “Or do you not believe in Shi An?”

This time, everyone’s eyes fell on Mu Heng, including Shi An’s.

Mu Heng: “…”

Under everyone’s gaze, he pinched his brow, took a deep breath, and said helplessly, “… All right.”

Shi An gave a cheer and jumped off the hospital bed. “Yeah!”

Awesome, truly awesome.

Zhuo Fu stood by the side and clicked his tongue in amazement.Foll𝑜w current novℯls on nov𝒆lb((in).(com)

This was the first time he had seen Mu Heng back down. It was a world wonder. He should have recorded the scene before him and passed it on to future generations for preservation.

Shi An followed quickly, tilted his head up, and looked at Mu Heng with his bright eyes.

“Can we go eat ice cream after we’re finished?”

Mu Heng pursed his lips, not holding back from rubbing his palms in the other man’s soft hair. His pale blue eyes softened a little and the corners of his lips unconsciously rose slightly.

“… Okay.”

He was like a different person from the unreasonable persona he had put on display just now.

Wen Yao: “…”

Zhuo Fu: “…”

Can’t stand it anymore.
