492 This Is True Love (1/2)

When Wang Lu returned to the mountaintop with a heavy injury, it aroused a great response.

”Junior Brother Wang Lu, what happened to you? Did you meet bandits on the way up, causing you to lose your chastity?”

As the Big Brother of Spirit Sword Sect, Ouyang Shang took the lead in inquiring solicitously about his well being.

Hearing Ouyang Shang mentioning this question, the surrounding people also paid their attention.

Ouyang Shang's malicious speculation could not be blamed since it was Wang Lu who came back this time in a sorry state. He came with a pale face and blood even covered his entire body. Even the usually spotless red and white robe had become tattered, which made it seem like he really did meet with thugs.

As for the concern of the Big Brother, Wang Lu thought for a moment before stretching out his right hand to point at his left arm, which showed a clean arm stained with blood.

Big Brother pondered a bit. ”Are you… trying to say that this is your gecko sand1 sign? Very well, Junior Brother has resolutely kept his chastity, so it is indeed admirable. It's me who made a presumptuous conjecture.”

The next moment, under everyone's panic-stricken eyes, Wang Lu waved his left hand, the one with the gecko sign, signaling Ouyang Shang to disperse the idlers around them. Only after just Ouyang Shang was present did the topic go back on the right track.

”The bottom line strength of the flood dragon has been tested. From now on, he is no longer a fatal threat to the team. The specific data is here.”

With that, Wang Lu stretched out several calculation talismans and entered the data. Ouyang Shang looked at it and realized that according to the latest data, there would be no uncontrollable risk for future practice plan. Because even if the flood dragon was willing to stake it all, the golden generation could still escape. At the very least, they would not be completely wiped out. And this was a very important point. After clarifying the risk factor, the efficiency of the leveling could be greatly improved.

”Unexpectedly, after the battle with the beast tide, the flood dragon was weakened to this point. But… Junior Brother Wang Lu, is it worth it to test his bottom line?”

Although he was playful and continued to joke with Wang Lu, how could Ouyang Shang fail to see that Wang Lu's injury was so heavy that it was almost impossible for him to recover? In handling affairs, Wang Lu usually didn't bother about trivial things, but he had always been well organized and decent in his basic grooming, and his clothes were even more spotless… At present, he could not even care about his appearance, so obviously he was already in such a state of distress.

This was naturally because he had previously insisted to go alone, single-handedly facing the second level flood dragon whose strength was comparable to middle-level Yuanying Stage. And he was absolutely adamant to use his Non-Phase Sword to face head-on against the dragon ball that the opponent spat out—it was a killer move from the flood dragon enough to defeat the enemy that was more powerful than him; even a real Yuanying Stage expert would not be willing to face it directly.

It was a miracle that Wang Lu was able to come back, unprecedented even—even the legendary Immortal Qin could not stop the artillery-shell-like dragon ball while in Jindan Stage. But to stake the life merely to achieve success, this was…

”This is my cultivation.” Wang Lu waved his hand and said no more.

For the disciples of Spirit Sword Sect, the battle against the flood dragon was like walking on a tightrope—the group had no threat for annihilation by the flood dragon, but it didn't mean that everyone in the team was safe. The death of one or two was normal.

But for Wang Lu whose defensive power could be considered as against the sky, the team combat was basically alarm-less and danger-less. Even his primordial spirit and immortal heart couldn't even tense up a bit. Therefore, during the entire day of fighting, he almost had no benefit, so how could he bear it?

Since the team combat was not profitable, then he would just go solo… Therefore, he finally single-handedly fought against the flood dragon.

Though defeated, it could still be counted it as a victory.

”After this, I'm going to do a secluded training. If everything is alright, don't look for me.”

When Wang Lu finished saying that, he couldn't help but cough. He covered his mouth with his hand, bent over, and violently shook until the blood splashed through the gap between his fingers. After a while, when he straightened himself up, half his face was stained with blood.

Wang Lu waved his hand in a chagrin. ”Tsk, it actually leaks to the side.”

Ouyang Shang helplessly sighed at Wang Lu's antic, thinking that at this time he still had the mind to take make fun of himself, it seemed that there should be no major problems.

”Very well, just do your best to recuperate. With your data, I will slightly adjust the battle plan so that five months from now, we can end the experiential learning at Blessed Fountain.”

After dealing with Ouyang Shang, Wang Lu was ready to sink his heart and close himself from the outside world. Right now, he was extremely injured. Previously in the woods, he seemed quite well on the outside, but actually, his inside was completely in shambles. Right now, most of his two hundred and six sword bones were broken. The reason why they didn't disperse was that the Non-Phase Emperor Bone held them together by force. His Jade Mansion was like being demolished again and again, and pieces of tiles came from everywhere. If it were an ordinary cultivator, other people would find it hard to help him live, let alone recuperate. Thus, Wang Lu must heal himself as soon as possible.

At the same time, this heavy blow also brought him great inspiration that he urgently needed to digest. The collision between Non-Phase Sword and the flood dragon's dragon ball aroused countless inspiration in him. The wave of the shock scattered his incomparable Non-Phase Sword Defense, but it also clearly pointed out the shortcomings of his sword defense.

These shortcomings were not the flaws of his sword art, but the various goals that he still could not achieve with his Jindan Stage… But what was cultivation other than finding the target first and then trying hard to achieve it? Moreover, in that life and death situation, his Non-Phase Sword Heart told him that he had unexpectedly achieved a breakthrough. The next step was to use the breakthrough of immortal heart to drive the whole, ushering a wave of rapid progress.

The leveling plan was designed not just for others. Wang Lu and Ouyang Shang each had their own task, moreover, it was more difficult than the others...

Wang Lu walked a few steps on top of the mountain, only to feel his body became heavier by the second. This let him knew that it was difficult for him to continue. Therefore, he had to find a secluded place to sit down and slowly circulate the scattered magical power inside his body, and then to think of a way to arrange his environment for closed door training.

But just as he sat down, suddenly, there was another person beside him and then a soft palm pressed his shoulder. Then a warm strength came in to help him drive the circulation within his Jade Mansion.

Wang Lu was slightly stunned. Turning his head, he saw the once familiar look but now had become very strange.

”Mast… Uhm, Sister, what are you doing?”
