Chapter 140: Absolute Domain (1/2)
Several healing spell techniques landed on his body, and naturally, several recovery statuses popped up.
Jiang Li had some of these statuses before, while a number of them were new to him.
After all, with his physique, it was difficult for him to get injured when he was practicing with his fellow disciples in the Qi Refinement realm.
This time, such a large piece of flesh was cut off, it was the most severe injury he had suffered since he started his cultivation journey.
Looking at the hole, he felt a sense of trepidation.
Fortunately, the senior sister of the Rejuvenation Hall contributed several recovery buffs at the Foundation Establishment realm.
After making the new statuses last an infinite amount of time, Jiang Li roughly calculated that the recovery speed of his injuries had doubled again.
There were also effects that targeted hemostasis, bone repair, muscle recovery, and other effects. The effects of these statuses would be more ideal for large wounds.
Flesh quickly grew out, filling up the hole in the thigh.
The granulation tissues served the purpose of filling and supporting, which was equivalent to the scaffolding on a construction site. These tissues themselves did not have much of a function on their own.
Under the support of the growing tissues, the ends of the wound began to produce cells and grow along the thigh's hole.
There were also the ruptured tendons, the severed blood vessels, and the severed nerves to heal. These functionary tissues replaced the granulation tissue bit by bit and then connected together at the center of the wound.
As the tissues regenerated, the wound was itchy and painful. He did not dare to touch it, afraid that he would affect the healing.
Jiang Li could only slowly circulate his wood attribute spiritual qi and gently comb his wound.
He could not just stand there and recover. On the spot, he used a wood attribute spell technique to make a wooden wheel chair and sat on it. Then, he watched the other stages' fights while healing his injuries in an innocent manner.
”Junior Brother Jiang Li, can you try to move your toes now?”
Ten minutes later, Senior Sister Qi Yu poked Jiang Li's injured leg and asked about his recovery.
Jiang Li did as he was told. Although it was still a little difficult, his toes could already move, and his limbs' senses were slowly recovering from his injuries.
However, because the blood vessels in the middle was missing for nearly ten minutes, the blood supply in the lower limb was disrupted for ten minutes. After his nerves reconnected, the first thing he felt was a numb and painful feeling, as if he had squatted in a pit for half an hour.
He had not experienced such a sensation in a long time.
As long as his nerves and meridians recovered smoothly, the recovery of his injuries would only be a matter of time.
In order to help Jiang Li recover from his injuries as soon as possible, Senior Sister Qi Yu and another senior sister used healing techniques on him several times before flying away in the end.
This was the benefit of having good social relationships. Other contestants did not receive such treatment.
Regarding this, although Jiang Li actually did not need it, he did not reject it for the sake of hiding his secrets to a certain extent.
As time slowly passed, the circular scab on Jiang Li's wound became stiff and brittle, and it could fall off at any moment.
His weak leg gradually recovered its strength.
Jiang Li tried to slowly tighten his muscles. 10% strength, 30% strength, 70% strength, 100% strength!
The wooden wheel chair beneath him creaked as if it would be torn apart by the immense force if it moved slightly.
He was slightly happy to find that his injured leg had completely recovered. Even when he tightened his muscles, there was no pain.
Moreover, although it had just recovered and had not undergone any rehabilitation, the new flesh and blood had already recovered most of its original strength.
It was only slightly weaker than his right leg. As long as he exercised a little, he would be able to recover completely.
This sort of thing actually did not make sense, but after some thought, he understood the reason.
This was because most of Jiang Li's strength came from the various buffs on the interface.
His body cultivation was only at the late-stage of Body Refinement.
The current Jiang Li could kill a Jiang Li without any buffs using just one slap.
Therefore, even if this injury still affected a portion of his low-level strength, it was not a big deal to the overall situation.
Moreover, because his foundation was relatively weak, it was easier to heal him as a late-stage Body Refinement realm cultivator with the treatment of several Foundation Establishment cultivators.
Jiang Li used his spiritual qi to carefully sense his original wound. The bone that had cracked open earlier had become even tougher and stronger than before.
This was probably the effect of Benevolent Travel Temple's Jade Bone Flesh Regeneration Pill. However, this kind of amplification was rather limited, and it was not worth Jiang Li injuring himself by breaking his own bones.
”Qing Lie! What do you want!”
At this moment, some noisy argument not far from the third ring attracted Jiang Li's attention.
”What do I want? I'm only going to continue fighting according to the rules.”
”As for you, Liu Bai, why aren't you guarding your fourth ring properly and stopping me here?”
Jiang Li looked over when he heard this. It was his senior brother, Liu Bai, who had an argument with the disciple of the Law Enforcement Hall that he had defeated earlier.
The disciple of the Law Enforcement Hall was called Qing Lie. Judging from his expression, he probably wanted to go up the arena and challenge Jiang Li, but he was stopped by Senior Brother Liu Bai.
After a battle, the contestants would receive two hours of rest. After that, even if their spiritual qi was empty and their injuries had not recovered, they could not reject other people's challenges.
This was a rule set from the beginning.
It had been two hours since he defeated Senior Sister Shen Ruoshi.
”Qing Lie! Do you really want to challenge an injured Qi Refinement realm junior brother? Aren't you afraid of being mocked by your fellow disciples?”
”My fourth ring is still empty. If you have the ability, come and fight me first!”
After Jiang Li defeated Shen Ruoshi, Senior Brother Liu Bai woke up from his meditation and successfully took over the fourth ring.
After that disciple of the Alchemy Hall who possessed the Heaven and Earth Spirit Fire was defeated in the end, he went to stand guard on the 6th combat ring that Jiang Li was originally on.
After all, Jiang Li was not at the Foundation Establishment realm. In the end, he still could not participate in the Foundation Establishment group competition in the Great Mountain Cultivator Competition.
Therefore, even if he was ranked first in the sect, they still had to choose five Foundation Establishment disciples to participate in the Cultivation Competition.
Therefore, the number of arenas naturally increased from five to six.
However, Senior Brother Liu Bai's victory in the battle was not easy either. His black hair had already disappeared, becoming the same refreshing hairstyle as Elder He.
There were also large burns on his body that had not been completely healed. Coupled with the red beast blood tattoo, it looked a little scary.
In other words, the Demon Vanquishing Hall currently occupied two stages of the Foundation Establishment realm, the third and fourth rings. Their results were already very outstanding.
However, Jiang Li's injuries made him look like a pushover in the eyes of the other competitors.
Under normal circumstances, even if such injuries could be healed on the spot, the regenerated flesh would undoubtedly be much weaker than before.
In this aspect, the more powerful a body cultivator was, the more they were affected. On the other hand, ordinary Qi Refinement cultivators would not be troubled by this.
In their eyes, Jiang Li was undoubtedly a pure body cultivator. It was the same even if he had displayed pretty good standards in the last battle.
Right now, Jiang Li's leg was 'weak', so his terrifying speed was already crippled. His combat strength had been reduced greatly, and he was still guarding the floating arena that was ranked third. In this way, he would naturally be targeted by others.
However, bullying their injured junior brother was indeed a little shameful, so the six Foundation Establishment disciples who did not manage to obtain a place were still hesitant and did not step forward.
They hesitated time and again. In the end, only the Law Enforcement Hall's Qing Lie dared to act against Jiang Li in the name of revenge.
Then, Liu Bai who was currently guarding the fourth ring could not stand seeing his junior brother being bullied, so he flew out of his ring to stop the other party.
This caused Jiang Li to witness the scene from before.
”Hmph, I don't fancy your fourth ring. Move aside, I'm only challenging him according to the rules of the martial arts competition.”
”If he can't defend the ring, it can only mean that his strength is insufficient. The ring of the Foundation Establishment realm is not for a Qi Refinement realm disciple to stand in.”
Qing Lie was right when he said that.
However, for someone like him who had lost to a Qi Refinement realm disciple earlier, it sounded a little strange.
”Qing Lie, do you still have any shame? You've completely disgraced all the Foundation Establishment disciples!”
Senior Brother Liu Bai's berating caused the other party's expression to change indeterminately.
”Do you want to break the rules of the Martial Competition! Move aside! Get lost and go back to your fourth ring!”
The two of them flew in the air and were very close to each other. One of them was holding a fist and the other was holding a knife. However, it was obvious that no one dared to act rashly in this situation.
”Senior Brother Liu, let him come over. I'm fine.”
Jiang Li walked to the edge of the ring and shouted to his senior brother.
That Qing Lie was indeed issuing a challenge according to the rules. Jiang Li was not the kind of weakling who needed to be protected like this.
