Chapter 155: Going Blind

Translator: Yukidaruma Translations  Editor: Yukidaruma Translations

When Fang Xingjian woke up, a month had already passed.

He was lying on the sickbed in Kirst Academy. Although he opened his eyes, it was still dark.

A doctor stood beside him and the gaze he casted at Fang Xingjian was filled with pity.

“I’m sorry, the poison from Eternal Wounds flowed through your blood vessels to your brain. Although the impacts from the poison had been eased, it had still harmed the parts in your brain which affects your vision. You probably will not be able to see anything for a very long time.”

Lilia grabbed the doctor’s collar, lifting him off the ground, and said angrily, “What do you mean he won’t be able to see? Are you saying that Teacher will go blind? How do you guys treat your patients? After spending so much time and so much money, this is the result that we get?”

“Alright, Lilia.” Huang Lin stared at the doctor and asked, “Does he have any chances of recovery?”

The doctor looked at Lilia fearfully and said, “I’m sorry. Things related to the brain are too complicated. It’s really hard to tell. He might not be able to see things for decades or may even suddenly recovery one day. It’s really hard to tell.”

Huang Lin asked, “Would it help if he has regenerating specialties?”

“It would still be quite hard. Ordinary regenerating and recovery specialties all targets external and physical injuries as well as the injuries to certain internal organs. There hasn’t been any discovery of specialties which can regenerate parts in the brain.”

The doctor was still speaking to the rest at the side. Fang Xingjian’s expression remained very calm. A hint of breeze shot out from his fingers like a micro sword Qi and it hit against the walls, creating pitter pattering sounds.

The doctor left and Huang Lin walked over. Looking at Fang Xingjian, his gaze was filled with disappointment, pity, fury and other complicated emotions.

Seeing Fang Xingjian continuously flicking his fingers and hitting against the walls, he let out a sigh.

Fang Xingjian’s will was stronger than he had thought. After knowing that he had lost his sight, he did not show any disappointment or expressions of despair, but rather, thought of various ways to make things work.

Just like how he was currently trying to detect distances through echoes.

However, there was a limit for the speed at which sound travelled at. Even if Fang Xingjian could sense his opponent’s presence through sound waves, as long as his opponents exceeded the speed of sound, it would be useless.

Lilia pounced on him and her arms wrapped around Fang Xingjian’s waist. She looked at Fang Xingjian with red eyes.

She thought of how Fang Xingjian had been in high and vigorous spirits, challenging Prefectural Champions consecutively all by himself, defeating an instructor, and then chasing after and killing Mumukeya, a second transition Destined Warrior.

However, now, because of Kaunitz, the aristocrat, and because of the First Prince’s plot, a genius like him had lost his sight.

To a Warrior, how heavy a blow was it to losing their sight? She found it hard to imagine how much pain Fang Xingjian must be feeling.

She rubbed her eyes and tried her best to speak in a calm tone, “Teacher, you’ll be fine. You’ll definitely get better. I’ll definitely take good care of you.”

Looking at the expressionless Fang Xingjian and Lilia who was in tears, Huang Lin let out a sigh and said, “Lilia, can you go out for a while? I have something to talk about with Xingjian.”

Lilia held onto Fang Xingjian tightly, not moving. Fang Xingjian patted her on the shoulder and said, “It’s alright. Go wait outside for now.”

Seeing Lilia’s departure, Huang Lin sighed and said, “Injuries to the brain are very troublesome. If you want to recover, it’ll all depend on your luck. However, since we possess extraordinary strength, we do not necessarily need to rely on our eyes in battle.”

The Empire had very complete records regarding second transition Conferred Knights.

There were a total of ten levels in the second transition, from level 20 to level 29. From level 19 to 20, all the way to level 28 and pushing through to level 29, between each of these levels, there would be a barrier which was extremely hard to breakthrough. There were a total of ten of these barriers, other wise known as the ten Heavenly Barriers.
