Chapter 884 Baby Lex
?884 Baby Lex
The next time Lex woke up, he felt his body was in an even better state, though he still could not control it at all. He tried opening his eyes, but he was completely unable to do so.
After that failure, Lex tried to run his cultivation technique. He was sure that if he could run a few cycles of his technique regularly, he would heal much quicker. Fortunately for him, it seemed that by now his meridians, at least, were completely healed and could withstand the energy coursing through them. Although, admittedly, they did hurt when he started cultivating once again. L1tLagoon witnessed the first publication of this chapter on Ñøv€l--B1n.
As soon as he began cultivating, his body absorbed the energy greedily, as if it had been deprived for a very long time! As the flood of energy rushed into his body, he felt it diffuse into his newly formed muscles and organs, nourishing them. His bones were especially greedy and sucked up as much energy as he could absorb.
After running a couple of cycles, Lex felt exhausted again, and so fell asleep.
This turned into somewhat of a routine where he would wake up, cultivate a bit, and then fall back asleep. He could tell that he was steadily spending less and less time sleeping, and his body was becoming better and better. He lost count of how many times this process repeated itself, with no difference except him feeling slow steady progress in his healing. If he had gone by his old standards, where he would have to sleep for weeks inside the Recovery pod just to heal, then it might have taken Lex years to heal to this extent without the pod.
Eventually there came a time where Lex woke up and felt something significantly different. That was that feeling had returned to him. He could smell the air, feel the breeze, hear the world. Unfortunately, he could also feel pain!
He found himself in a small, rectangular room with four pillars in the middle, forming a square in the center of the room. Outside the pillars, the floor was padded with a few walkways, as if designed for sitting on the floor. Within the pillars was an arena, one step down, made of one massive slab of stone.There were no doors or windows in the room, but it was well lit.
Lex seemed to be alone, for now, and was not in any danger. Just to be safe, Lex did not explore the room just yet.
He touched his spatial bangle and withdrew the blazer of his stealth suit and wore it like an oversized robe. He had no choice, as he had no clothes that fit him.
He also took out some food, spirit stones, spirit liquid, and some ores he had collected to use if ever he needed to reward Pelvailin.
During these past few days, he had tried to communicate with the ring, but received no response. However, he could feel that the spirit within had not died, it was just incredibly weak. He placed the rings on the ore, aware that the ring would absorb them on its own, strengthening itself.
With nothing else to do, he began to eat - and then failed! He could not exert any real strength with his new body yet, and had apparently not grown out his teeth as of yet. As a result, he could not eat anything!
He had no choice but to replace the food with some exceptionally soft spirit fruits he had collected for Kenta to use in his cooking. Although eating was a little difficult, he managed. That's when he realized that his stomach had become a bottomless pit. No matter what he ate, or how much of it he ate, he did not feel full at all! It was as if his body was instantly using it to nourish his body!
As he felt his fatigue returning, he made a small bed for himself of spirit stones, and applied the spirit water to his body the way one applies cologne!
He knew that the key to his recovery was absorbing as much energy as possible, so he was determined to speed up the process as much as he could!
Soon after, the baby sized Lex fell asleep once more.
