Ultimate Supreme Soldier King

Chapter 404 Titan Arum



Seeing Su Chen's hand drenched in blood, Lin Shuang'er immediately thought of tearing off her own clothes to bandage his wound, just like in the TV dramas.

Unfortunately, she overestimated her own strength.

After trying for a while, she wasn't successful.

"Little Su, I can't do it, you try..." The young girl looked at Su Chen with tears in her voice.

Su Chen waved his hand, signaling to Lin Shuang'er not to worry.

His hand didn't need any bandaging; the wound had already healed.

His gaze then fell upon the Samurai Sword of Nishijiu.

He couldn't help but feel suspicious, wondering what Nishijiu meant by leaving her sword with him.

Could it be that this woman has recognized his identity?

The Reverse Dragon Group had had contact with the Eight Gods Temple; it wasn't impossible.

If Nishijiu had recognized him and left because of it, that would make sense.

Of course, there could be other reasons.

"Little Su, this sword is so pretty, can I play with it?" The always carefree Shuang'er noticed that Su Chen's hand was truly not bleeding and naturally shifted her attention to the katana in Su Chen's hand.

The katana was extremely beautiful, with a slender blade, a white hilt, and an edge that was almost white as well.

It looked as if it was forged from ice.

Clearly, it was not an ordinary item.

Normally, Martial Artists are very particular about their weapons, but Nishijiu had left her katana behind, which was truly puzzling.

Unable to figure out the reason, Su Chen didn't bother thinking about it any further and, after cautioning Lin Shuang'er to be careful not to cut herself, he handed the katana over to her.

"Just now, thank you." At this moment, Tang Yi came over to thank Su Chen.

Had it not been for Su Chen's rescue, she might already be a corpse by now.

She had not expected Nishijiu to be hiding such profound secrets.

"Su Chen, was it you who helped my grandfather stand up just now?" Tang Yi suddenly remembered that her grandfather had actually stood up just before.

Even more, he had defeated a Dongyin warrior.

Although that Dongyin warrior was not very strong, it is important to know that, according to the doctors, Tang Zhengguo could last at most another year.

But now, he didn't look anything close to someone about to die of illness.

Su Chen nodded and said, "I have some knowledge of medical skills."

"Then, does that mean my grandfather is cured?" Tang Yi looked at Su Chen with a face full of hope.

Judging solely from the surface, Tang Zhengguo's condition had improved countless times over compared to before.

"I'm afraid not," Su Chen replied, gently shaking his head after hearing Tang Yi's words.

He had merely used his Inner Strength to clear the blocked meridians in the old man's body.

And with Inner Strength nourishment, he rekindled the life force in the elder's body.

This allowed the elder to leave his wheelchair and stand up again.

But this did not mean that the old master was out of trouble.

Because Su Chen had secretly checked just now.

The old master's internal organs were in a state of severe exhaustion, and merely using Inner Strength was no longer enough to restore their function.

This was also the basis for those doctors' assertion that the old master didn't have much longer to live.

"Then, then can you cure Grandpa?" The hope on Tang Yi's face intensified.

"I'm afraid I cannot." Su Chen said solemnly.

Hearing that even Su Chen couldn't cure the old master, Tang Yi's expression immediately turned gloomy.

"It's okay, Xiaoyi. Grandpa can stand up again and even beat a little Japanese devil. Even if I can only live for one more day, I would be content." Tang Zhengguo didn't mind it at all.

After all, he was a man already on the brink of death.

If nothing unexpected happened, he would die of illness in a hospital bed within a year.

Today, Su Chen managed to get him to stand up and even fight against someone from Dongyin. He felt that even if he died now, he would be satisfied.

"Grandpa..." Tang Yi couldn't care about her injuries and threw herself into the old man's arms, sobbing.

The old man's eyes were also red.

He looked at his granddaughter with a face full of affection.

"Ah, Xiaoyi, Grandpa actually isn't afraid of death. I've been prepared for death many years ago. It's just that, Grandpa can't stop worrying about you... While I'm alive, they wouldn't dare touch you, but if I were to die..." A deep regret flashed across the old man's eyes.

"It's okay, Grandpa. I will definitely join the Dragon Team as soon as possible. As long as I join the Dragon Team, they won't be able to do anything to me!" Tang Yi said, smiling to comfort the old man.

Watching the dramatic scene of the grandfather and granddaughter as if facing life and death, Su Chen shook his head with a smile and said, "I only said that I cannot cure the old master; it doesn't mean there's no hope for him."

"Really?" Tang Yi said with great joy upon hearing this.

Su Chen nodded and said, "Yes, the old master is mainly suffering from organ failure. To rejuvenate him, we need to find some life-extending natural treasures."

"What kind of natural treasures? Would Centennial Ginseng work?" Tang Yi asked.

As long as there was a way to prolong the old master's life, she was willing to try any method.

"Of course not. To extend the old master's life, we would need at least a millennium-old ginseng, and even then, a thousand-year ginseng isn't that useful." Su Chen shook his head.

"Then, what is actually needed?"

Su Chen pondered for a moment before slowly uttering a few words: "Titan Arum Flower!"

"Titan Arum Flower?" Tang Yi showed a hint of confusion in her eyes.

Clearly, she was very unfamiliar with this name.

"I know you definitely don't know what the Titan Arum Flower is, but if I say Corpse Flower, you will definitely understand," Su Chen narrowed his eyes.

Corpse Flower!

Tang Yi's eyes brightened.

Indeed, she had heard of the Corpse Flower.

The Corpse Flower is the world's largest flower and also has the most foul smell, originating from the tropical rainforests on Sumatra Island in Indonesia. They release the scent of decaying corpses, which is where the name "Corpse Flower" comes from. They emit this foul odor to attract insects for pollination.

This flower can reach up to 20 feet (about 6.1 meters) in height and 16 feet (about 4.9 meters) in width.

This plant is not rare; if one really needed to find it, it would certainly be possible.

A glimmer of hope appeared in Tang Yi's eyes.

Seemingly discerning Tang Yi's thoughts, Su Chen continued: "To prolong the old master's life, ordinary Corpse Flowers won't suffice. We need a true Corpse Flower that has grown from the nourishment of a corpse, and it must be a human corpse."

Although it is called a Corpse Flower, it does not grow from a corpse.

It is called the Corpse Flower simply because it releases a scent reminiscent of a decaying corpse.

Ordinary Corpse Flowers are not hard to find, but Corpse Flowers that have grown from a corpse as nourishment are much harder to locate.

Not to mention it has to be a human corpse.

That is even more difficult!
