The sky gradually darkened. Lu Xuan was still lying on the ground, motionless. He looked as if he was dead.
After a few hours, Lu Xuan groaned in pain and slowly regained consciousness.
He was very lucky that he was not eaten by any passing beasts during these few hours.
He tried to move his arms and legs, and a sharp pain shot through him. Lu Xuan could not help but groan. Although he had been unconscious for a period of time, he could guess what Longyang had done to him. After checking his body and realizing that he was not missing any parts, Lu Xuan let out a long sigh of relief. It was not too bad.
Ryūka's servants were rather heavy handed, hitting his vital parts everywhere. Lu Xuan knew that in the short term, it would be difficult for him to even walk normally, let alone participate in the assessment.
He could not help but laugh bitterly at this thought. Was this really God's will? Now that he was so seriously injured, even his last hope was about to be shattered.
At this time, the sky was completely dark. That day's weather did not look good, not even a single star could be seen. Lying on the cold ground, Lu Xuan's eyes were scattered as he looked at the pitch-black night sky. His mind was in a mess.
Suddenly, a ray of light streaked across the sky and appeared in Lu Xuan's vision.
A meteor?
It was said that when one saw a meteor, one's wish would come true if they tied a knot.
Lu Xuan instinctively wanted to find something to tie a knot, but he groaned again. He had forgotten that he was seriously injured and could not even move his hands, let alone tie a knot.
At this moment, Lu Xuan was stunned. No, there were no stars today, how could there be a meteor?
When he raised his head to take a look, he discovered that this' meteor 'seemed to have become a little bigger. Furthermore, it was still continuously growing bigger …
This thing was actually shooting towards him! Lu Xuan was shocked! Looking at this speed, if it really hit him, he would be pierced through directly. There would be no way he could survive!
He wanted to dodge, but he couldn't even move his little finger, let alone dodge.
This "meteor" was getting closer and closer. This time, Lu Xuan finally saw its shape. It was a sword-shaped ray of light.
The speed of the sword-shaped radiance was unbelievably fast. Almost as soon as Lu Xuan saw it clearly, it had already arrived in front of Lu Xuan.
At this moment, Lu Xuan finally realized that the sword-shaped radiance wasn't emitted by a sword, but by a sword-shaped crystal that wasn't too big.
What is this? Who sent it?
As this thought flashed across his mind, the Sword Crystal had already shot towards Lu Xuan's body. Just as Lu Xuan thought that this Sword Crystal was going to penetrate him, the strange thing was that when the crystal came into contact with Lu Xuan's body, it instantly melted and merged with his body. Then, it reformed in Lu Xuan's dantian!
Before Lu Xuan could rejoice at the brink of death, the Sword Crystal that had invaded his body suddenly shot out a sharp sword aura from Lu Xuan's dantian and pierced the meridians in Lu Xuan's body!
"Ah!" A heart-wrenching pain spread through his body. Lu Xuan couldn't hold it in any longer and let out a miserable howl. The loud howl echoed throughout the wilderness, making it seem extremely strange.
However, the pain in his body didn't lessen because of Lu Xuan's howl. Instead, it became even more intense.
The scattered sword aura continued to advance through Lu Xuan's meridians, breaking through layer after layer of obstruction. This inhumane torture was simply the greatest pain in the world!
Everyone was born with most of their meridians blocked in the beginning. Only an extremely small number of people could maintain their meridians unobstructed, and these people were known as geniuses!
This was because the Sky Sword Continent was filled with an indescribable power. Warriors called this power the Primordial Spirit Power. The degree of unobstructed meridians affected the speed and efficiency of absorbing the Primordial Spirit Power. This also determined one's talent in cultivation.
In fact, the process of cultivation was the process of opening up the meridians. The more meridians were opened, the higher the realm one could reach.
A person who was born with unobstructed meridians not only didn't need to open up their meridians, but also possessed a powerful cultivation speed. If they wanted to reach a high realm, their path would be almost unobstructed.
As for those who weren't talented and were born with blocked meridians, if they wanted to reach a high realm, they would have to slowly open up their meridians while their cultivation speed was slow. It was precisely because of this that many people couldn't open up their meridians in their entire lives.
At this moment, the sword aura was actually forcefully opening up Lu Xuan's meridians. It must be known that everyone's talent was innate. This was simply going against the natural order of things!
Under normal circumstances, people who had their meridians forcefully opened up would end up with their meridians exploding and dying. Otherwise, there were so many experts in the Sky Sword Continent who would forcefully open up the meridians of their sons and nephews in order to increase their talent.
The immense pain caused Lu Xuan to be unable to think about anything else. He even felt that even if his meridians were to explode and he died, it would be much more comfortable than what he was feeling right now!
However, the strange thing was that although the sword aura continuously broke through the blocked parts of Lu Xuan's meridians, Lu Xuan's meridians didn't show any signs of being damaged at all.
Moreover, the blocked parts of his meridians weren't that tight. It was as if … his meridians were originally unobstructed, but they were blocked by someone!
Lu Xuan didn't have the mind to pay attention to the situation within his body at all. Right now, there was only one word in his mind — pain. Ever since he was young, Lu Xuan had never experienced this kind of pain, even when he was the most hardworking in his cultivation.
His miserable howls became softer and softer. It wasn't that he didn't want to, but his throat was already hoarse from all the shouting.
The sword aura emitted by the Sword Crystal didn't care about Lu Xuan's feelings at all. It continued to flow through the meridians in his body, as if it wanted to open up his meridians.
The entire inhumane torture process lasted for close to two hours. When the sword aura cleared up the last blocked part of his meridians, it finally returned to the Sword Crystal and everything returned to normal.
Was it finally over? Lu Xuan panted violently as his scattered eyes slowly regained focus. He didn't doubt that if this kind of pain continued for a while longer, he would really die from the pain!
The two hours of struggle seemed to have exhausted all of Lu Xuan's strength. His forehead, cheeks, and body were dripping with sweat.
However, he didn't care about this. He was already thankful that he was able to survive this kind of pain. A few large beads of sweat flowed down his face. In order to prevent it from flowing into his eyes, Lu Xuan raised his left hand with some effort and wiped it off his face.
However, Lu Xuan's movements suddenly stopped. He slowly raised his left hand in front of his eyes and looked at it in disbelief.
He clearly remembered that he couldn't even move a finger just now. Now, he could actually wipe his sweat freely!
In order to confirm that he wasn't mistaken, Lu Xuan couldn't help but move his hands again. His hands moved agilely a few times before he stood up decisively. He didn't feel the slightest bit of discomfort!
Lu Xuan finally confirmed that the serious injuries he had suffered from Longyang had miraculously healed!
It wasn't exactly a miracle. Lu Xuan knew that it was most likely the work of the mysterious sword-shaped crystal. After the storm, there really was a rainbow. The ancients didn't lie!
Lu Xuan couldn't hide the joy that flashed across his face. He thought that the heavens were going to cut off his last hope. He didn't expect that there would be a glimmer of hope at the end of the tunnel. Although the torture just now had made him hover between life and death, if he had known that this could heal his injuries, Lu Xuan would have gritted his teeth and endured it no matter what!
Longyang, Longtai! So what if you did something behind my back? I must pass the assessment of Wind Sword School! As long as I'm here, don't even think about succeeding!
Lu Xuan, who had fully recovered from his injuries, was once again filled with a strong fighting spirit!
There were still fifteen days before the assessment. Fifteen days wasn't long, but it wasn't short either. If he grasped it well, his strength might be able to improve further.
Thinking of this, Lu Xuan sat down cross-legged again and began to exercise his skills. He seized the time to cultivate.
Although Lu Xuan was almost exhausted after the torture just now, he also knew that cultivating in such a situation would yield twice the result with half the effort. His aptitude wasn't high, so he could only fight with hard work.
As he exercised his skills, traces of Primordial Spirit Energy in the air were guided into Lu Xuan's body. At the same time, he also entered the state of inner vision. The first thing that came into his eyes was the sword-shaped crystal that had tortured him so much just now.
At this moment, this Sword Crystal was slowly rotating in Lu Xuan's Dantian. It was no longer as violent as before.
Although he didn't understand the origin of this Sword Crystal, Lu Xuan felt that it definitely had an extraordinary origin. Moreover, it had miraculously healed his serious injuries previously, which further strengthened Lu Xuan's belief.
However, when he thought of that inhuman pain, he still felt a shiver. He didn't dare to touch this Sword Crystal anymore. Hence, he let it stay quietly in his Dantian and started to exercise his skills. The Primordial Spirit Energy that was guided into his body slowly flowed in his meridians.
As he exercised his skills, the Primordial Spirit Energy in the air was continuously absorbed into Lu Xuan's body and flowed in a specific path in his meridians.
However, Lu Xuan was shocked as soon as he began to circulate his cultivation method. That was because he discovered that the speed at which he absorbed Origin Energy and the speed at which the Origin Energy circulated through his meridians had suddenly increased by several times compared to before!
The meridians that were previously blocked were now extremely smooth!
