Chapter 515 — Level Dropped! Wei Zhao Drew a Deep Breath, Pulled Feng Xiaoxiao a Little Tighter, and, Paying No Mind to the Soft Sensation in His Hands, Rushed Into the Room! Feng Xiaoxiao Was Unconscious — If He Mishandled This, What If She Died?

In the past, Wei Zhao would not have stood by and done nothing for Feng Xiaoxiao, but neither would he have been so worried about her. Now that he knew she was Feng Tianlong's daughter, however, he had no choice but to take her rather more seriously.

He laid her on the bed and knitted his brows slightly. The world called Wei Zhao a divine physician, yet Wei Zhao knew well that a gap still remained between his medical skill and the old man's — though it could not be a wide one. Even so, Feng Xiaoxiao's condition was unlike anything Wei Zhao had ever heard of, for at this moment he could not tell at all what was wrong with her.

Had he not known the symptoms that followed a person into unconsciousness, he might even have thought she was faking it to deceive him!

Naturally, given Feng Xiaoxiao's temperament, she might well pull such a trick to fool Wei Zhao — but his examination had shown him that this was not the case.

Wei Zhao was anxious, partly out of worry over Feng Xiaoxiao's condition, and partly out of fear that Feng Tianlong might suddenly return. If Feng Tianlong were to see his daughter lying naked on the bed, Wei Zhao would have no way to explain himself, no matter how many mouths he had!

At his wit's end, Wei Zhao sank into thought. He truly had no idea where to begin with Feng Xiaoxiao. Of course, the notion of sending her to a hospital never crossed his mind. If he himself could not find the problem, a hospital would be no use at all.

There was plainly nothing wrong inside her body, her five viscera and six bowels all perfectly healthy. Judging by outward appearances, Feng Xiaoxiao was as healthy as a person could be — so why was there no vitality in her at all?

Blood ran down Wei Zhao's arm, staining the bedsheet and Feng Xiaoxiao's body all over. But he had no mind to spare for the wound on his own arm — a bit of superficial skin damage like that hardly counted for anything.

"Elder Jiao, you are a man of vast experience. Is there any way to solve this?" Wei Zhao had no choice but to turn to Jiao Yazi for help once again.

"Her body lacks energy, little Wei Zhao. You might try circulating the Xuanyuan Dragon-Taming Art and channeling your energy into her body, then see what happens." Jiao Yazi's voice sounded at Wei Zhao's ear.

Wei Zhao was startled for a moment, then at once saw hope! Of course — why had he not thought of it? Since Feng Xiaoxiao's body lacked vitality, could the true qi energy generated by his Xuanyuan Dragon-Taming Art be given to her?

At that thought, Wei Zhao hesitated no more. He seized both of Feng Xiaoxiao's hands and began circulating the mental formulas of the Xuanyuan Dragon-Taming Art. In an instant, a powerful suction force surged from within her body, and the energy within Wei Zhao rushed into her at an inconceivable speed.

Wei Zhao was somewhat taken aback! He had used energy to heal others before — Liu Zhenhu, for instance — so this powerful suction was nothing unfamiliar to him. It was simply an injured body's demand for energy.

But never before had Wei Zhao seen anyone absorb energy like Feng Xiaoxiao, like a bottomless pit.

Still, if it would bring Feng Xiaoxiao back to consciousness, Wei Zhao gritted his teeth and endured. What was a little loss of energy? He had the jade pendant's cultivation space, after all; one good sleep would more or less restore it all.

His intentions were good, but he soon discovered that reality was not so simple! For Feng Xiaoxiao's body seemed to harbor an endless, insatiable craving for energy!

Wei Zhao's face too grew pale, yet the energy within his body continued to pour ceaselessly into Feng Xiaoxiao.

"Lin boy, let go at once!" Jiao Yazi had sensed that something was wrong as well, and hastily called out to warn Wei Zhao.

At Jiao Yazi's warning, Wei Zhao shuddered and tried to release Feng Xiaoxiao's hands — only to find that between their palms there seemed to be a kind of adhesive force, so that he could not pull away at all!

"Elder Jiao, what do I do?" Terrified out of his wits, Wei Zhao had no choice but to beg Elder Jiao for help.

"..." Jiao Yazi was baffled as well, and for all his learning he could not fathom why such a situation had arisen. "Try not to keep circulating the mental formulas of the Xuanyuan Dragon-Taming Art?"

"I can't stop it..." Wei Zhao said with a bitter smile. Naturally he had thought of that remedy long ago, but the Xuanyuan Dragon-Taming Art was circulating on its own within his body, utterly beyond his control — just like the instant before a breakthrough when he was still leveling up, which no will of his own could govern.

"..." This time Jiao Yazi was out of ideas too. "I've got nothing. You'll have to figure it out yourself."

"You damned old man!" Wei Zhao panicked. If Jiao Yazi washed his hands of it, what was he supposed to do? He hurriedly called out, "Elder Jiao, come out here!"

But Jiao Yazi played dead and made not a sound.

"Aaaargh—" Wei Zhao let out a wretched scream, feeling as though the energy inside his body had been sucked dry. He pitched forward onto the bed and blacked out completely...

"Not bad — you're not dead." This time, Jiao Yazi's voice finally rang out.

"Huh?" Wei Zhao was startled too. He was fine? But the next moment, Wei Zhao realized that he had automatically entered the cultivation space inside the jade pendant.

Before, he had only been able to enter while asleep. He had never expected that fainting would work as well.

"Not dead, but things don't look too good..." Jiao Yazi gave a dry laugh.

"You damned old geezer! You and I are supposed to be teacher and friend to each other — how could you just abandon me when trouble hit?" Wei Zhao was furious. "Lucky for me I've got a tough hide. Looks like I just passed out. I'm not dead yet."

"Heh heh... isn't this just beyond the scope of my knowledge? I don't know what happened either, and I can't just spout nonsense, can I?" Jiao Yazi sounded a little awkward.

"..." Wei Zhao knew this was no time to be blaming Jiao Yazi! And Old Jiao was right — he did not know what had just happened to him. He could only choose silence.

"You'd better take a look at your own condition, kid. Your situation is very bad!" Jiao Yazi coughed twice, diverting Wei Zhao's attention.

At Jiao Yazi's words, Wei Zhao was instantly alarmed! That was right — he had been so busy talking to Jiao Yazi that he had not checked his own condition. He had lost so much energy just now; who knew whether it had damaged his body! Although he was still inside the cultivation space, his body outside was lying unconscious!

At this thought, Wei Zhao hurriedly examined his own condition — but the very next moment, his expression changed!

Because Wei Zhao discovered that he had actually dropped a tier! From the peak of the late Yellow tier, he had become an ordinary person who was not even at the early Yellow tier!
