Chapter 4 - 2 Wanxiang Star Pupil
"Uh..."
Ji Xinghuo let out a moan, then recovered consciousness, "I'm not dead!"
He jerked upright, realizing he was sitting on the ground in his familiar bedroom. The spot where he had been lying was marked with dried blood.
Besides feeling a bit dizzy, there were no other discomforts.
Ji Xinghuo felt a wave of relief wash over him.
Before losing consciousness, he truly believed he was about to die. At his young age, he had not yet enjoyed life. The vast Galaxy and Star Realm, countless magnificent views yet to be appreciated, exciting adventures yet to unfold—dying so soon would have been too regrettable.
"It's good to be alive!"
Ji Xinghuo, feeling grateful to have survived the ordeal, tried to find the culprit behind all of this. Looking around, he indeed found no sign of that gemstone.
"Is it an Alien Species that I've successfully integrated?" He was both shocked and pleased. Although he was unclear why the gemstone merged with his eye upon contact, he considered it a favorable outcome.
"Ability?"
Getting up from the ground, Ji Xinghuo didn't feel like he had acquired any supernatural powers.
