The Invincible Strongest Student

Chapter 1205: Chapter 1205: Healing Through Combat

Tong took a quick shower, changed into clean clothes, and after casually treating her wounds, was driven by the little goat to the police station to turn herself in.

What the final result would be, Jiang Pan Die wasn’t sure, but she had done all she could.

The taste of betrayal wasn’t pleasant, but was it any better to watch her sister, whom she spent every day with, go and turn herself in?

Lin Tian handed her a tissue and said, ”If you want to cry, just cry.”

Jiang Pan Die didn’t cry, nor did she take the tissue, she just shook her head and forced a smile, saying, ”I just want to drink, can you get some?”

”Drink?” Lin Tian scratched his head, saying with some difficulty, ”But, if Qingtang finds out, I’ll be in big trouble.”

”Qingtang? You mean Dr. Zhao?”

Lin Tian nodded, ”Yes, she’s been taking care of me these past few days. If I drink, she definitely won’t be happy.”

Jiang Pan Die looked at Lin Tian’s bitter smile and blankly asked, ”Isn’t it nice to have someone care about you?”

Lin Tian nodded slightly.

”Alas, what a pity... From now on, I’ll be all alone.”

”But you still have me.” Lin Tian stood up and said, ”Wait for me a moment.”

”Where are you going?”

”To steal some wine!”

...

In the end, Lin Tian’s wine theft was discovered by Zhao Qingtang, so he was punished by being made to lie in bed and rest for a whole day.

Early the next morning, after breakfast, Lin Tian went into the yard to stretch his muscles. His major injuries were almost healed, so moving around a bit had no effect.

He had only practiced Military Boxing and Five Animals Qigong, so all he did were those two routines, but they were sufficient for fitness.

As Lin Tian practiced his punches, a white figure floated in front of him. Looking up, it was Xu Xianrong.

”Auntie, do you need something?”

With a voice as melodious as a heavenly sound, Xu Xianrong said, ”Spar with me in Swordsmanship!”

These past days, Xu Xianrong had almost locked herself in her room except for practicing sword in the yard. Lin Tian didn’t dare use his perspective eyes anymore, but he could tell from her light steps and her sword-dancing posture that the toxins in her body had been mostly expelled, and her meridian injuries had almost healed.

Looking at the Thousand Cyan Threads in her hand glowing with green light, Lin Tian immediately bitterly smiled, ”Auntie, you know I haven’t learned any swordsmanship at all... How about I call that guy from the Martial Sect to spar with you?”

”That old man is boring. You’ll do!”

After speaking, Zhao Qingtang swung the other hand she had hidden behind her, and a large azure object was hurled at Lin Tian. Fortunately, he was quick to react, deftly reducing the force and catching it.

”This is... Wang Sijing’s stone knife!” Lin Tian’s expression became peculiar, remembering deeply how he was once so miserably defeated by this stone knife. Of course, he could tell it was a treasure, his eyes holding a hint of delight.

”Yes, the elder brought it back as a bonus. It’s the Wang Family’s treasured knife called Thousand Jin Rock. I know you’ve almost recovered, wielding it shouldn’t be a problem. You attack, I’ll take the blow!” Xu Xianrong spoke dominantly, leaving no room for refusal.

Holding the Thousand Jin Rock in his hand, Lin Tian genuinely found himself in a crying-and-laughing situation. Then he composed himself, took a deep breath, gathered his strength in his hands, raised the stone knife, and charged forward with agile steps, shouting, ”Here I come!”

As Lin Tian said, he hadn’t studied swordsmanship, and naturally, he hadn’t studied knife techniques either. So when he held the knife, there was no form or method, just random slashes, but the connections between each slash were very smooth, with a continuous feeling.

Xu Xianrong didn’t even unsheath her Thousand Cyan Threads but effortlessly and elegantly took down each of Lin Tian’s slashes. She rarely counterattacked, but whenever she did, she could push Lin Tian into a very awkward situation.

Their exchanges were measured, so they used very little Spiritual Qi, and the intensity was not overwhelming. But soon, Lin Tian noticed something wrong; his not-yet-fully-recovered meridians were accelerating in their healing!

Thoughts raced through his mind, and Lin Tian quickly understood. Such high-intensity sparring could maximize the efficacy of the medicines he’d consumed over these days to heal through combat!

Swish!

While Lin Tian was lost in thought, a petal of a sword flower swept past his ear, the air explosion sound piercing into his ears, shaking his eardrums painfully.

”If this sword was an inch off, your ear would get sliced off, yet you let yourself get distracted!” Clearly, Xu Xianrong was discontent with Lin Tian’s inattentive attitude; he deserved the hardship.

Rubbing his ear, Lin Tian asked, ”You already knew this would heal the wounds faster?”

”It’s the best way to activate the medicine’s properties, every cultivator knows. You didn’t?” Xu Xianrong looked at Lin Tian with a suddenly strange expression.

Lin Tian’s face flushed with embarrassment, this was truly a disgrace. He didn’t answer, merely cleared his throat and said, ”Again!”

”Next time you get distracted, it might not just be an ear!”

Instantly, the sword light and Sword Qi whistled again, the azure and blue hues exchanged blows fiercely in the small courtyard.

The commotion was so big it alarmed Zhao Qingtang and Jiang Pan Die, who stood by the door, watching the shocking scene, their hearts clenched with worry that if either made a mistake, it would indeed lead to big trouble.

Zhao Qingtang watched anxiously, finally unable to hold back, and shouted: ”Hey! How long are you two going to fight! Your bodies aren’t fully healed! If you continue like this, it’ll be counterproductive! Stop now!”

However, no one paid her attention, as Xu Xianrong had previously said. If they got distracted again, it might be more than just an ear that would get hurt! Therefore, both were now fully focused. The outside world, blocked out.

In a flash, half an hour passed. However, every nerve in Lin Tian’s body was still tense, one hand gripping the knife handle, eyes fiercely fixed on Xu Xianrong.

Swish~

The long sword sheathed, Xu Xianrong wiped the fragrant sweat off her cheek and said, ”Alright, that’s enough for today. Time to rest.”

Hoo~

Lin Tian exhaled deeply, teasingly saying, ”Auntie, admitting defeat already?”

In that half-hour, both had maintained high concentration, and though they hadn’t used much Spiritual Qi, the high-intensity sparring quickly depleted their physical stamina.

Xu Xianrong glared at Lin Tian and said, ”It’s just that the medicine’s effect is fully activated.”

With that, she couldn’t be bothered to engage with this guy any longer, turning back towards the house with a faint smile on her face, secretly mumbling, ”Idiot.”
