Chapter 2394 - 2395: The Secret Technique

Chapter 2394: Chapter 2395: The Secret Technique

This power, although it didn’t erupt outright, was something Lin Chen could clearly feel coursing through his body.

He stared urgently at Wang Hao, a blazing anticipation surging in his heart.

It was a hunger for strength.

Their gazes met in midair. Sensing the burning heat in Lin Chen’s eyes, Wang Hao couldn’t help being stunned—he had never seen anyone yearn for power this much.

Even though Lin Chen had just been injured by this sword technique, he was still focused on it now, feeling no trace of frustration at all—in fact, he even faintly felt a bit excited.

His hands kept moving, full of excitement, and the faint wound on his right hand was also gradually healing as he moved.

This scene made Wang Hao both shocked and wary. He had already sensed that Lin Chen’s body was formidable, but he hadn’t expected his current recovery speed to be so terrifying—within just a few breaths, the wounds on his body had completely healed.

Though his body was slightly weakened, that was only because he’d used too much Spiritual Energy just now, but the wound on his hand had already closed, and he could move it freely. With Wang Hao’s sharp eyesight, he could naturally see the implications.

"Your hand..."

Wang Hao asked again, deeply curious as to what was going on with Lin Chen’s body to give him such an ability.

"Oh, it’s pretty much fine. We can continue."

Lin Chen waved his hand casually. Though a few beads of blood still remained, the cracks in his meridians had already healed.

"That fast?!"

Even though Wang Hao had mentally prepared himself, hearing Lin Chen say that still made his heart tremble.

He knew all too well how much he’d suffered when he first tried to comprehend this sword technique. His body’s recovery ability wasn’t slow, but it still took about a day, nowhere near Lin Chen, who had fully recovered in just a few breaths.

The difference between them was obvious.

"I don’t know, I’ve been like this since I was a kid."

Lin Chen shrugged, speaking with a hint of indifference.

He certainly knew what such recovery meant for a cultivator, but he couldn’t reveal the truth. After all, Lin Chen was just an "outsider," and this Mystic Realm was merely a transit station for him. His goal was to ascend to the Divine Realm.

All of this, he had no way to tell Wang Hao. Even if he did, whether Wang Hao believed him was one thing; if the news spread, Lin Chen would be branded an anomaly in this place.

Who knew what trouble that might provoke. Naturally, Lin Chen had no desire to invite trouble, so he laughed it off.

"People really do get mad comparing themselves to others."

Wang Hao let out a soft sigh, extremely envious of Lin Chen’s constitution. If he were like Lin Chen, the injuries he suffered while creating sword techniques would heal at an incredible speed, which would save Wang Hao a huge amount of time.

It was just a pity that Lin Chen himself didn’t know the reason for it.

Besides, even if he did know, such a secret would be incredibly hard to share. Wang Hao understood this, so he didn’t press the issue.

"Let’s talk about the sword technique just now. Which part are you unclear on?"

Wang Hao then raised his head to look at Lin Chen. As he finished speaking, the dejection in his eyes faded, replaced by a different emotion as he watched Lin Chen.

His gaze seemed both expectant and encouraging.

"Once those two strands of power surged into my arm, they were like water and fire, colliding with each other. The instant they clashed, they erupted into an extremely fierce force. That power rampaged through my meridians, which is what caused my current condition."

Lin Chen frowned slightly as he spoke.

Though his injuries had already healed, just thinking back on what had happened left him with lingering fear.

That power couldn’t be dispelled, but if he tried to unleash it, it was even harder to control. It had left Lin Chen extremely uncomfortable.

This was exactly what he was confused about. His eyes, full of longing, fixed on Wang Hao.

"Mm... that’s indeed how it is. When I first cultivated this sword technique, it gave me quite the headache."

Wang Hao nodded inwardly, instantly understanding Lin Chen’s problem. It was the same issue Wang Hao himself had faced earlier. The difference was, Wang Hao now had a solution.

And that solution, naturally, was something he intended to teach Lin Chen.

Wang Hao cleared his throat lightly, then said in a softer voice, "I was actually just about to tell you this earlier, but Bai Ning really picked the worst possible time to show up."

When he mentioned Bai Ning, Wang Hao lowered his voice. Then, as if remembering how Bai Ning had let him off a few times, he coughed a couple more times. Only after regaining his usual composure did he clear his throat and continue.

"Those strands of Spiritual Energy that aren’t so fierce should be used outside, to wrap around the two stronger strands. When your Spiritual Energy circulates to your elbow, the two streams will begin to converge. At that moment, this wrapping of Spiritual Energy becomes extremely useful."

"Because those two strands of Spiritual Energy, as you said, will erupt into a terrifying force inside your body. If you forcibly suppress them, you’ll greatly weaken their power. So this is a compromise: you form a barrier here, using it to envelop the Spiritual Energy. Do you understand?"

Wang Hao pointed at the area around his elbow, slowly explaining to Lin Chen.

After thinking it over briefly, Lin Chen gradually grasped the principle.

Earlier, it was indeed at the point Wang Hao had indicated that an enormous surge of power burst forth, causing severe damage to his body.

Now that Wang Hao had explained it, he understood.

When Lin Chen’s Spiritual Energy collided, the refined power that remained became increasingly violent as it surged forward. At that moment, he should use those impure strands of energy to wrap around the two streams of Spiritual Energy, making them into a sort of barrier that carries them past that point. Then, just as the strike is about to be released, he retracts that impure energy, allowing the refined power to erupt at its fullest.

Of course, knowing it is one thing; actually doing it is another. It’s not easy to pull this off. At least for Lin Chen, it required an extremely high level of control, an area where he still needed great improvement.

"You’d better go back and practice this more. I was worried your body wouldn’t be able to handle it, but looking at you now, it seems I don’t need to worry."
