HEAVENLY GEM - THE DARK TIGER DRAGON GOD

Chapter 5 Strange Black Pearls (1)

Stars Forest, Ice Spring Lake side.

Zhou Weiqing's body lay on the ground unconscious.

At the same time, his body underwent a strange change.

Layers of black light appeared around his body.

Although the sunlight was bright in the sky, the darkness emanating from within his body covered him like a cocoon.

The flesh that was torn on his back from the Difuya fireball began to recover at a speed that could be seen with the naked eye.

The most shocking thing was that as his flesh healed, his bones, muscles, internal organs, and even his meridians were infused with layers of dark gray energy.

It was an almost indescribable gray color, giving an even colder impression of the black cocoon that surrounded Zhou Weiqing, yet it was still filled with a strange spirit and life.

However, as this gray layer slowly spread from within his body to replace the black layer covering him, there was a strange change in the vegetation around his body.

One could clearly see the vegetation was infected by the gray, ranging from Zhou Weiqing's body and spreading within a 5-meter radius, causing the plant to wither rapidly as Zhou Weiqing's body healed faster.

There seemed to be an evil influence in the air.

The dark gray mixed with the black light started to become thicker and thicker, and the atmosphere became colder, domineering, evil and demonic, 4 different auras surrounding Zhou Weiqing's body.

He began to tremble slightly as 3 rays of light were emitted from within the black cocoon, flickering over his body.

3 The rays of light were the green, blue and silver colors of the black pearl he had swallowed before.

The warm rays of the sun could not enter around Zhou Weiqing's body, and on his forehead, the black word "King" slowly appeared.

On his skin, a layer of black tattoos slowly formed, underneath there was a layer of gray, similar tattoos could also be seen.

the 2 layers of tattoos seemed to have formed a 3D image, and they covered his entire body up to his face.

This phenomenon lasted for almost an hour, until all the colors slowly faded, sinking back into Zhou Weiqing's body, and the tattoos on his body also disappeared.

Zhou Weiqing's healthy bronze skin color seemed much paler than before, and his facial features looked much more handsome now.

His back, which had been torn apart by the explosion of the fireball, had now been completely healed, there was no visible scar, as if he had never been injured there before.

After a while, Zhou Weiqing's fingers twitched, as he slowly regained his senses.

The moment he opened his eyes, he could not help but suddenly shiver in coldness.

Although he did not know what happened when he was unconscious, he still felt a chill all over his body after waking up.

His heart was cold, and that ice-cold feeling was extremely uncomfortable for him, causing an almost indescribable emotion within him.

"I'm not dead?"

Zhou Weiqing suddenly fell silent.

He felt his body was much lighter than usual, and he hurriedly raised his hand to touch his back, and upon feeling his entire delicate complexion, he could not help but widen his eyes in shock.

"Is it all just a dream?"

Zhou Weiqing looked around him, and then saw the remains of his tattered clothes, as well as the withered circles of dead plants around him.

It wasn't a dream anyway.

Giving himself a face mask, Zhou Weiqing's memory slowly returned as clarity returned to his mind.

"That strange black pearl seems to have entered my body?"

At that moment, he felt a gust of coldness rush into his stomach, and he fainted from the cold and had no further memories.

As for the dead vegetation around him, he unknowingly considered the additional damage from the Difuya fireball.

Because Zhou Weiqing was born with obstructed meridians, even though he was a noble, but he only attended an ordinary school that did not give explicit lessons on the power of the Gem Master, but he did not attend, therefore he made such a misjudgment.

If the first skill in the Elemental Jewel Difuya was as strong as he had imagined, he wouldn't just be an ordinary genius.

Furthermore, to be able to deal such damage, the fireball would have him smashed to pieces.

What exactly is a black pearl?

Although his assessment was fully accurate, but one thing Zhou Weiqing knew for sure was – he had been seriously injured by the fireball, and it was the black pearl that had healed him.

Is my moral character that good?

Did the miracle of karma just happen to me?

Zhou Weiqing became even more excited as he thought.

Despite having a character that is optimistic enough to be able to shake off the misfortune of his birth, but being born in such a prestigious family, he naturally has a strong desire to be strong.

As he twisted his neck to look around, he immediately locked the huge Star Tree beside him as a trial target.

The reason for the name Star Tree is because the leaves are 5-pointed pentagon, exactly like the stars.

The 100-year-old Star Tree is considered mature, and the wood is very strong and tough, but it does not lack the flexibility of – which is why it is famous as one of the best materials for making bows.

Zhou Weiqing moved towards the selected Star Tree, and waving his fists, he slammed his fists against the thick trunk with all his might.

"PENGS!"

"Ohhhhhh!"

The first sound was naturally the sound of his fist hitting a tree, and the last was like a cat whose tail was stepped on, an almost inhuman scream.

Zhou Weiqing was afraid of pain since he was young, the thick Star Tree stood motionless, yet he jumped up and down while holding his right hand.

The intense pain in his right hand left him almost numb, and the skin surface of the fist was badly eroded, severely, the intense pain caused him to jump around for almost 10 minutes before getting a little better.

"badjat..!"

The youngster cursed as he blew his fist.

"Damn it, it seems like the item that fell from heaven* isn't something that will happen to me."

* TL: Sudden windfall

Fortunately, he was young, and the strength of his fist wasn't too great, so he didn't injure his fist bone.

After the pain subsided, he put on the remains of his clothes, and his outer robe from the side of the lake, before departing in disappointment.

Unbeknownst to him, about 15 minutes after he left the scene, at the Star Tree he struck with his fist, where some of his blood was left behind after his skin was peeled off.

The hard bark of the Star Tree around him began to rot, and a thin layer of dark gray air seemed to disappear into the air.

3 Days later, this 50-year-old Star Tree completely disappeared from the forest.

Of course, this would never be known to Zhou Weiqing.
