Ling Chen's few sentences were like a sudden clap of thunder to Fang Lan who had just fallen into a pit of despair and darkness.

Ever since his two big brothers and mother were killed by a young noble just because he didn't find them pleasing to the eyes, Fang Lan had realized how fickle and cruel this world was.

Unless one had sufficient strength or a powerful background, then one was at the mercy of the others. This was a world where the law of the jungle prevailed.

In this world, the laws and moral values were only made and applied to the weak and the poor.

All of these facts and experiences were like a wake-up call to Fang Lan. Ever since then, he has been possessed by the desire of becoming strong, strong enough to control his own destiny and protect his family.

Even though he wasn't a genius and had a talent below average, he was still able to make it to the Heavenly Demon Sect as they didn't put too much emphasis on talents but rather on conviction, will power and survivals ability.

Because his talent was below average, he didn't even complain when he was enduring greater hardships than the others. He believed that so long as he invested his efforts, there would be reciprocation. Hence, he was always pushing himself to the limit and never give up.

Even if he had to endure the cold eyes, the sarcasm, and mockeries of his fellow disciples, his focus was always on the path ahead of him.

However, after knowing that he had become a cripple with no hope of ever cultivate in his entire life again smashed his hopes, his convictions seemed to have collapsed at that moment. All these years he had spent cultivating, fighting for survival and endured a lot of contemptuous looks and suffered humiliation were for nothing. The grievance in his heart spread out in an instant and it made him feel desolate.

His heart also shuddered with pain because he knew that all of his family's hope of survival and having a good life was pinned onto his shoulder. Now that he was unable to cultivate, this hope was destined to be extinguished.

Before, even though he had a rotten talent, there was still hope. Even though it was just a tiny one that flickered against the wind. However, this flickering hope was extinguished after the fight against Lin Mu. It had become a mere figment as if it had evaporated in the heat.

And right now, while he was deep into this land devoid of hope, deep into this pit of darkness and despair, he suddenly saw the light as Ling Chen threw him a rope. He was like a dying flame in the cold while Ling Chen's few sentences were like a gallon of gasoline, igniting him anew.

Even though he didn't know how Ling Chen was going to reconstruct his broken meridians or give him the power that would even make the gods and the devils tremble in fear, he didn't doubt him or rather he didn't want to!

No matter how hard he tried, Fang Lan still couldn't suppress the excitement in his heart as he stared at Ling Chen and asked: ” Are you speaking the truth?”

” Of course, what reason would I have to lie to you?” Answered Ling Chen with an indifferent look on his childish face.

Listening to Ling Chen's answer, Fang Lan didn't know what to say. Indeed, given Ling Chen's identity, he had no reason to lie to him.

He was the son of the Sect Master of the Heavenly Demon Sect, one of the fifteen behemoths of the Heaven Desolate Region. With this identity alone, he controlled the lives of millions of people. Within the Heavenly Demon Sect's domain, whether it were kings or emperors, nobles or commoners, they all have to bow down in his presence.

Aside from that, he was also insanely powerful, powerful to the point where he could even suppress the Chief disciple of the Heavenly Demon Sect, a Martial Sovereign realm Warrior.

A person like that could kill him without even lifting a single finger. As such, Ling Chen didn't have the need to lie to an insignificant person like him. Furthermore, there wasn't any hint of deception from his voice or aura when he uttered those words.

Nonetheless, though Ling Chen said that he had a way to reconstruct his broken meridians, Fang Lan knew that there was no such thing as free lunch in this world. If the little devil was willing to help him reconstruct his broken meridians, then there's surely a price to pay.
