The transformation of his body started from the soles of his feet. Pure Yuan Qi mixed with the soles of his feet and then condensed into a strange power that flowed into his skin and flesh.
The two, who had been separated a long time ago, were closely connected again under the matchmaking of this power.
The difference between his skin and flesh was that his skin, which had been repeatedly tempered, seemed to have become a barrier that completely separated the inside and outside of his body. From then on, he no longer leaked any vitality. The person who felt this change the most was Wu Chen, who was in the water. He had already felt suffocated after intense exercise, but as his skin and flesh fused together, this feeling could not help but become lighter and slower.
Earlier, Wu Chen had fought the water python with his astonishing willpower. However, the more he exercised, the more oxygen he would consume. By then, even if he killed the water python, Wu Chen would be done for.
However, with the transformation of his body, his skin, which had been repeatedly tempered, once again attached to his flesh and blood. As it continued to fuse, it also locked down the little oxygen in Wu Chen's body. It also began to absorb oxygen from the water outside his body, thereby providing targeted replenishment to his body. All of this was the benefit of his body's transformation.
After removing his worries, Wu Chen would gain all the benefits.
Wu Chen had the strength to play now, but that didn't mean that the water python could continue to play. Under the situation where its weakness was being grasped and its blood was being sucked in like a tonic, even a real heavenly dragon couldn't stand this torment. After struggling a few times in the well, the Silver-horned Water Python was completely exhausted.
Just as the Silver Horn Water Python stopped completely, Wu Chen was immersed in the transformation of his body. If the first transformation was painful, then this transformation was definitely not a happy one.
The moment his skin and flesh completely fused together, his internal organs began to twitch, especially his heart, which felt like it was being pricked by needles.
Due to the violent convulsions, Wu Chen was unable to do anything about his body. He had no choice but to sink into the water with the water python's corpse.
The bottom of the well calmed down once again. As for the huge commotion that had occurred earlier, it had alarmed the entire imperial prison.
Coincidentally, the autumn execution was about to end when the Minister of Justice was inspecting the imperial prison, so the entire matter immediately attracted the attention of the imperial court.
Coo coo coo…
Under the baptism of Yuan Qi, the meridians in his body became unusually tough. It was as if all the meridians in his body had learned how to breathe. They absorbed the Yuan Qi in his flesh and blood with the beating of his heart meridians, and then flowed into his internal organs along the meridians. Under such a significant change, Wu Chen could feel his strength increase.
"Generally speaking, a Skin-Toughening General has a strength of 300 Jin. After entering the Weapon Refinement realm, one's flesh and blood will be condensed, so it isn't difficult to have a strength of 500 Jin. However, I've relied purely on my flesh and blood to evolve, so my current strength is at least 500 Jin.”
The transformation slowly came to an end. After regaining control over his body, Wu Chen used a single punch to blast away the water python that was pressing down on him, and his body slowly floated to the surface of the water…
" Whoosh…" The moment his head emerged from the water, Wu Chen opened his mouth and greedily sucked in the oxygen in the air until his lungs could no longer hold any more oxygen.
Looking at the full moon rising from the well, Wu Chen had unknowingly stayed at the bottom of the well for a day and a night. Perhaps it would take a few more days before someone would know about his situation, but as long as he persisted and lived, there would be hope.
……
Time slowly passed. Wu Chen had not eaten for such a long time that he felt weak all over. However, how could Wu Chen, who had endured all kinds of storms, lose in this?
Just as Wu Chen was feeling dizzy and felt that he could no longer hold on, a shout came from the well.
"Prince Chen Yuan, are you down here?”
Wu Chen couldn't help but be stunned when he heard the voice. He even suspected that he had misheard. After all, the person who had shouted just now had called out 'Prince Chen Yuan', not just' Wu Chen'.
One had to know that there was nothing wrong with Prince Chen Yuan calling him that, but calling him 'Your Highness' was something he absolutely could not do. Unless Wu Chen's identity was no longer a prisoner, but a member of the royal family. Only members of the royal family were qualified to be called a prince.
"That's right. I wonder who's up there?”Even though Wu Chen had been in the imperial prison for many years, he knew that there were many officials in the court who supported him. Otherwise, Wu Chen would not have been able to survive until today under the absolute power of Crown Prince Peak. Right now, only this group of officials would address him as "Crown Prince Chen Yuan". Wu Chen had high hopes for these officials who had always supported and protected him.
"I am the Minister of Justice, Dong Qinglian. I hope Your Highness can wait patiently for a moment and prepare the rope immediately?”
"Minister Dong, I wonder if you can help me prepare a set of clothes?”His clothes had already been damaged during the battle with the water python, so it was somewhat indecent to go out like this.
"Your Highness, don't worry. The Emperor had already pardoned His Highness during the morning court session today. His Highness had been convicted of the Demon Empress's crime. Not only had His Highness regained his royal identity, but His Majesty had also conferred him the title of Prince Chen Yuan. Little did they know that the actions of some villains had caused His Highness to suffer!”
When Dong Qinglian heard Wu Chen's question, he suddenly realized that he had been too excited today. Up until now, he was still laughing on his own and had not been able to tell his subordinates the news of Prince Chen Yuan's pardon. He immediately passed on the conclusion of today's morning court session.
"Thank you, Minister Dong. I, Wu Chen, will definitely repay you generously in the future. As for the other daren, they have worked hard to accompany you until now. I, Wu Chen, won't forget them.”At this juncture, Wu Chen naturally wouldn't forget to win the hearts of the people.
If Wu Chen wanted to prove his mother's name in the future, there were only two ways. Firstly, it would be difficult for him to ascend the throne even if Wu Chen had the bloodline of the royal family. The second was to be conferred the title of King and Minister, using great achievements to exchange for the opportunity to prove his name. But now that the Imperial Court was occupied by Crown Prince Peak, the difficulty of this path was no less than the first.
But no matter what? Wu Chen still had to rope in these loyal ministers.
"Your Highness, your words are too serious! This is what I should do!" Although Dong Qinglian had never met the person in the well, he had a good impression of him.
Dong Qinglian was a minister who had stepped onto the political stage during Wu Shengyuan's new policies. Even though he was under the rule of the Crown Prince Peak, this did not mean that Dong Qinglian had to bow down to the Crown Prince Peak. After all, Dong Qinglian was a border official who controlled the punishment of this country. However, for the eldest son of the Emperor, Wu Chen, even though there was no benefit between the two of them, Dong Qinglian stood on Wu Chen's side without hesitation for the sake of his kindness and loyalty. It should be known that once the political team stood on the wrong side, it would often lead to the destruction of the family.
"Your Highness, the rope will take some time. I will send some food down first.”
He realized that it would take some time to prepare the rope, and according to what he knew, Wu Chen had been trapped in the well for more than seven days. Whether it was physically or mentally, he was in a state of exhaustion, so it was inevitable for him to replenish his food.
"That's good. Then I'll have to trouble Lord Dong.”
……
After changing into a fresh set of clothes and taking two sips of hot tea, Wu Chenfang walked out of Dong Qinglian's sedan chair.
"Wu Chen, receive the decree!" Seeing that Wu Chen was ready, Dong Qinglian didn't hesitate and announced the imperial edict in front of everyone.
"Sinful subject Wu Chen greets Your Majesty's grace!" Although Wu Chen was somewhat dissatisfied with his father for not caring about his matters for so many years, how could he do something that would ruin his good deed?
" In accordance with the heavens, the emperor issued an edict saying: In the past, the demon queen was in a state of chaos, shaking the court and destroying the foundation of our country. Her heart can be punished, and her crimes should be beheaded. Although I am the monarch of a country, I still uphold the divine weapon to replace the punishment of heaven. I am worthy of my ancestors and the common people. I can't do whatever I want. I hope you understand my painstaking efforts. Today, when the new emperor is about to be appointed and the world is being pardoned, I think that your life is bumpy and you are part of my royal family. Therefore, I forgive you all your crimes and let you live the rest of your life in peace. I hope you take care!”
The entire imperial edict was easy to understand. It was not as majestic as the imperial edict, nor was it as exciting as a letter to his family. However, no matter what it expressed, there was one thing that Wu Chen did not do. He had been exonerated!
"This subject has received the decree! Thank you!" Wu Chen took the imperial edict from Dong Qinglian and immediately knelt down to thank him. The whole process seemed so simple, but this step was different for Wu Chen.
