Watching this scene, Xigou couldn’t help but grimace, unable to look directly.
Fang Zhixing was not only cruel to others, but even more so to himself.
It was unimaginable, the kind of pain one would feel with every bone in the body broken.
Although Xigou had also died a few times, he died quickly, without suffering too much pain.
Fang Zhixing, however, was different; he had to endure agonizing pain that ordinary people could hardly imagine.
It was a fate worse than death!
Although Xigou was unwilling to admit it verbally, he couldn’t help but respect Fang Zhixing internally, considering him a truly ruthless person.
Fang Zhixing’s body collapsed, like a falling house, into the medicinal bath.
At that moment, he was truly miserable, covered in blood, in so much pain that he wished for death, his features twisted beyond recognition.
To ensure that "every bone in his body" was broken, he had not spared even his own skull.
His whole head was throbbing, his vision going dark.
By holding his breath, Fang Zhixing barely managed not to faint.
His blurred vision was fixed on the System Panel.
Even though he had been so ruthless, the System Panel remained unresponsive.
The countdown, had not appeared!
"It’s still not enough?"
Fang Zhixing instantly understood what was happening.
Fang Zhixing called out, leaning his chin on the edge of the bathtub, his arm drooping out.
Xigou ran over, startled, saying, "What now, don’t talk anymore, hurry up and soak!"
Fang Zhixing replied laboriously, "My right hand is still not broken, hurry up and break it."
Xigou shuddered involuntarily.
Right, the right hand is for holding the knife.
Fang Zhixing naturally couldn’t break the bones in that area himself.
"How am I supposed to break it, I only know how to dog-paddle and bite?" Xigou said urgently.
His dog-paddle wouldn’t break the bones, it would only scrape the flesh off the arm.
And his fangs were highly poisonous, biting was not an option!
Fang Zhixing reminded him, "Use your Burst Skill."
Xigou understood, raised his forepaw, and said solemnly, "Let’s be clear, I don’t know how to control my strength, and I might completely severe your hand bone."
Fang Zhixing didn’t say anything, which spoke volumes.
Seeing this, Xigou couldn’t help but hold his breath.
[Bloodline Burst Skill: Wolf Shadow Gale Claw]
In an instant, the air blurred, faintly revealing a wind blade-like claw shadow.
Fang Zhixing’s right hand trembled, two fingers detached, blood splattered everywhere, while the other three fingers and the palm snapped crisply.
Xigou immediately felt embarrassed.
This blow had clearly been too heavy!
But there was nothing he could do, he had used the Bloodline Burst Skill, a significant move that simply couldn’t be controlled.
Xigou quickly grabbed the two severed fingers and threw them into the bathtub.
Fang Zhixing remained silent, only pulling his right hand back into the bathtub, and subsequently lay down.
The thick medicinal fluid enveloped his entire body.
"Ha, there’s a countdown now!"
Xigou cheered excitedly.
Time passed, second by second.
For Fang Zhixing, every second was unbearably long.
The properties of countless herbs continuously flowed into his body, treating all the broken bones.
The medicinal fluid in the bathtub quickly faded, gradually turning into clear water.
Almost simultaneously, the System Panel flashed brightly once again.
[3, Use an infusion made from countless herbs to soak the entire body for one hour, having previously broken every bone in the body (completed)]
Fang Zhixing emerged from the water, sitting in the bathtub and checking his body.
The broken bones had not fully healed, they were only initially reconnected; the two severed fingers had not been reattached.
Seeing this, Fang Zhixing immediately took out the package, with a thought flashing through his mind.
A second-level arrow instantly materialized.
In that instant, a strange noise came from his body, all his broken bones perfectly aligned and healed at super-speed.
At the same time, his right hand also felt itchy, the two severed fingers reattached themselves instantly, becoming whole again.
Moments later, Fang Zhixing had returned to full health, his entire being bursting with energy and vitality.
"Hmm, this experience was even more exciting than the last time I soaked in Yin Snake Blood," Fang Zhixing murmured softly.
Xigou commented speechlessly, "All this trouble, was it worth it?"
Fang Zhixing smiled and asked in return, "Do you think it wasn’t worth it?"
Xigou said decisively, "Extremely unworthy, no other martial artist has to endure such hardship like you do!"
Fang Zhixing chuckled, "You think other martial artists who train tirelessly year after year suffer less?"
Xigou responded, "Of course not, but they don’t torture themselves by trying to cultivate multiple martial arts like you do."
Fang Zhixing laughed, "People who practice martial arts do so diligently and endure hardships in order to continuously strengthen themselves.
Thus, martial artists never fear how much they suffer, what they fear most is no matter how hard they try, making no progress at all."
Fang Zhixing emerged from the bathtub, got dressed, and declared invigorated, "Everything I do makes me continuously stronger. Now I only lack a Golden Heavenly Silkworm, otherwise I would let you see just how worthwhile all my suffering really was."
Xigou couldn’t help but be silent.
In fact, he was rather looking forward to it.
Fang Zhixing was stubbornly committed to developing a martial arts series, which was still at the stage of theoretical perfection and had yet to demonstrate any particularly extraordinary effects in actual combat.
If his theory turned out to be wrong, then all his prior efforts and investments would have been in vain, a total loss.
At that time, Xigou would make fun of him to death and see if he still had anything to say.
