Chapter 2, Journeying Far

Bu Xuan smiled lightly and said, "Let's go, I will help you..."

Bu Xuan Yin got into the car and invited me to sit in the back seat with her, while the driver in the front respectfully asked, "Deputy Dean, may we depart now?"

Outside, it seems to be speaking

It seems that you are still full of vigor and vitality

Looking at the figures of my father and Uncle Fu in the distance, I felt a sense of unease. I had always hoped to leave my hometown and venture out into the world, but now, having lost all my skills, I was heading off like a useless person to face ridicule and challenges. This was in stark contrast to the future I had originally envisioned.

I nodded slightly and looked at my palm. The three meridians of heaven, earth, and man had completely withered, which also meant that I had lost all my cultivation and could not utilize even a trace of spiritual power.

... ...

Ah? So urgent?

Good

A person with a profound background

She smiled gently: "It's alright, I have already said that I am the vice dean, the head of the college, so what are you still worried about?"

Bu Xuanyin was on the verge of tears. She turned to her father and said, "Father, I rushed back as soon as I received the news, but Xiao Xuan's condition is truly strange. I can't make sense of it at the moment. Please don't worry; there will surely be a way to save him. Xiao Xuan is exceptionally gifted, a rare talent, and there must be a solution."

Yes, my lord

After dinner, my father lit a pipe, his brows furrowed. He naturally had concerns; sending me to Wanling Academy would mean being hundreds of miles away from home, making the journey back and forth quite difficult

... ...

No need

So... do you have any plans for the future

Bu Xuanyin blinked her eyes, as if she had thought of something, and said: "I wonder what delicious food Father and Uncle Fu will prepare for us tonight"

Looking at her red eyes, I smiled faintly and said in an unusually weak voice: "Sister Xuan Yin, don't worry, I am not anxious at all"

The speaker is Lord Jiu, one of the most respected figures in Silver Leaf City, but also a well-known charlatan. It is said that he possesses the ability to foresee the future. He continued, "This child does not have even a trace of spiritual energy within them; their former cultivation has completely vanished."

There is really no need, after having lunch I will set off with Xiao Xuan, Father please take care of yourself, we will come back to see you often

Father frowned and said, "Well, if you siblings are together, I feel a bit more at ease. However... you must come back often; it cannot be like before when you disappeared for years without any news."

I squinted my eyes and asked with a smile, "Sister Xuan Yin, I heard that you have already ranked among the thirty-three martial gods of the mainland six months ago, is that true?"

"No, sister, please do not blame yourself." I recalled everything that happened that day and said, "But I felt very strange. At the moment I took the awakening potion, I saw a figure appear in the orange sun, and he saw me too. After that, it became like this. It was as if my body was sealed by a transcendent force, my blood was burning, and my spiritual veins had also disappeared."

The voice of my father was somewhat agitated, and I was also very excited. With all my strength, I suddenly opened my eyes, and what came into view was the smiling face of Uncle Fu, who was beaming with joy: "Sir, the young master has awakened!"

... ...

At this moment, my father walked out from the inner hall, holding a rolled-up item in his hand, and said: "Xuan Yin, this is over fifty thousand that I obtained from selling the remaining iron in the foundry. Consider it as Xiao Xuan's tuition and living expenses."

In the afternoon, a black iron contraption stopped in front of the Bu family residence; it was my cousin's vehicle. This is something I had only heard about. In today's era of riding horses and taming wild beasts, the Dragon Spirit Federation has begun to electrify, and this type of automobile is one of the creations developed by those mechanics. Although it looks rather strange, it is undoubtedly much faster than human power.

"I have no plans," Bu Xuanyin said as she stood up, removing her scarf, her impressive figure unmistakably highlighted. She cast a lingering glance at me and said, "If I must speak of plans, I am now the strongest Valkyrie of the Dragon Spirit Federation. I hope you recover quickly and become a true powerhouse, so you don't hold your elder sister back. What do you think?"

"Sister, isn't Su Xiyu the Valkyrie you introduced?" I asked weakly.

Sister Xuan Yin, please speak

Oh?

The next morning, I was already able to get out of bed and move around. I practiced a set of boxing techniques, but I was unable to utilize my spiritual energy and could not exert any strength at all; instead, it felt somewhat like performing flowery punches and embroidered legs.

Well

The father's expression was somewhat forlorn, as children are ultimately destined to leave their hometowns to seek experience in distant lands; what is destined will inevitably come to pass

Pain, an indescribable pain, as if countless streams of molten fire are flowing through every blood vessel, threatening to consume the entire body’s veins and muscles; this kind of pain is difficult for an ordinary person to endure

I helplessly protested, "Please don't change the subject so dryly, who exactly is that Valkyrie?"

At that moment, a gust of wind blew in, carrying with it waves of a refreshing and delicate fragrance

She spread her hands and said, "Xiao Xuan, let's not pursue this matter for now. I know how to handle it. The urgent issue is how you will resolve the problem of your spiritual power being unable to manifest after your meridian was damaged. The key to this problem lies with that person in the Chengyang. I know nothing about him."

I sat up, my eyes bright: "That sounds a bit interesting, but I need to urinate."

In the corridor, my cousin clapped her hands in a half-hearted manner and said with a smile, "Then I can rest assured, the car is ready, and we will set off in the afternoon"

I understand, thank you, Dad

How about you accompany me to the Academy of All Spirits in Linxue City? There are many talented individuals at the Academy, and they might be able to assist with your recovery. Moreover, I am currently the vice president of the Academy, and I can help you secure a special admission as a new student.

Ah, has Xuan Yin returned

There is one more thing that is somewhat peculiar

Well, let's go

You speak

Father nodded slightly: "Xuan Yin, you sit down first and keep Xiao Xuan company for a while. A Fu, let's go prepare dinner; Xuan Yin is back, so let's add some dishes."

A very strange person, bound all over with copper chains to a pillar, bathed in flames yet unscathed, I cannot imagine why I can see so far, and so clearly.

However, I have heard that the standard for new students at the Wànlíng Academy is that they must awaken their talents. Look at me, not only have I not awakened any talent, but I have even lost the abilities I originally had

Bu Xuan Yin did not avoid my gaze and smiled, saying: "As long as you return to the Wanling Academy with me, I will do everything possible to help you regain your strength and even become stronger."

That Valkyrie, Su Xiyu, is much younger than I imagined, at most she cannot be over twenty years old. She does not resemble a thirty-year-old Valkyrie at all. Is there something fishy about this? Could it be that she is not the Valkyrie Su Xiyu at all?

"Do not worry, the lost strength will help you regain it," Bu Xuan Yin observed my low spirits and said with a smile, "Xiao Xuan, since this has happened, I have a suggestion. Would you be willing to listen?"

My cousin has returned, dressed in a white shirt, wrapped in a cloak, with a deep red scarf around her neck. Her beautiful eyes are filled with concern as they look at me, and her stunning face appears weary from travel.

I also do not know why this is happening..." Bu Xuan said, pursing her red lips, "There must be some unusual situation occurring; otherwise, it would not be like this..."

I said: "Go be despised by the people of the Academy of All Spirits ... ... "

Seven days. The father's face was filled with heartache

Oh, I see..." Bu Xuan remained silent, lost in thought.

Nightmare, I had many nightmares, encountering those whom I fear the most deep down, to be precise, it is them.

... ...

"Xuan, do you blame me?" Buxuan Yin sat on the edge of the bed, her eyes slightly red

An indescribable pain spreads throughout my body, and I can feel that the innate spiritual vein that has accompanied me since I was six years old has vanished...! ... It feels as if it has transformed into a burning fire dragon, completely incinerating itself from my bloodline!

The voice of another person belongs to Uncle Fu

Xiao Xuan, do not move for now, take a good rest

Yes

My long-lost cousin has become a stunning beauty. The last time I saw her was several years ago, and now she has blossomed into a graceful and poised young woman, exuding a captivating charm in her conversations. She continues to persuade my father: "With my care, at least Xiao Xuan will not be bullied at Wanling Academy. Wanling Academy is renowned as one of the four major martial arts academies of the empire, and the resources and martial arts techniques it offers are far beyond what Silver Leaf City can compare to. Does father truly wish for Xiao Xuan to spend his entire life in this small town?"

Bu Xuan stood up, patted her father's shoulder, and said with a smile: "Father, since Xiao Xuan has already lost his spiritual vein, staying in Silver Leaf City will only subject him to the disdain of petty people. It would be better for him to accompany me to the Wàn Lìng Academy"

Burning the pulse destroys the achievement

Bu Xuan quickly stuffed the money back into her father's pocket and said with a smile, "I will take care of everything in Linxue City for Xiao Xuan, you can keep this money for your retirement."

... ...

Wànlíng Academy, the largest and finest martial arts institution in the Northern Federation, is said to only accept a select few geniuses and heirs from various major factions, making it a martial arts academy that combines both talent and nobility. As Sister Xuanyin has stated, being able to enter Wànlíng Academy to study is in itself a privilege, not to mention for someone as special as I am.

Get on the vehicle

Xiao Xuan

Alright

Bu Xuan said with a slight frown: "Is it just like this? What kind of person do you see?"

"How long have I been sleeping..." After taking a deep breath of cold air, I asked the first question upon waking up

Really not needed? The father looked somewhat bewildered

The Martial Gods, the pinnacle of existence on the Dragon Spirit Continent, govern a territory of tens of thousands of miles within the Dragon Spirit Federation, and there are only thirty-three Martial Gods, each of whom possesses the power to command the winds and the rain

Yes, my lord

Well, there are still many matters waiting for me to handle at the academy

Bu Xuan Yin, my cousin, was abandoned by her father when she was young. It was my father who raised her, so she is like a biological sister to me

Come here, escort Lord Jiu

Bu Xuan's beautiful eyes were instantly shrouded in a layer of mist, kneeling by the bed and holding my hand, a wave of warmth: "How could this happen? How could this happen..."

Should Xiaoxuan also go to Wanling Academy

The father's voice trembled slightly as he said, "Is there really no way to remedy this? If... if the spiritual vein no longer exists, he would probably be rendered useless for the rest of his life"

... ...

I tremble all over, wanting to wake up, but it feels as if I am trapped in a nightmare. I can hear the conversation between my father and Uncle Fu, yet I am unable to open my eyes

A few minutes later, Uncle Fu returned and said: "Sir, the young lady has returned!"

I am also at a loss. Master Jiu stood up, the chair creaking loudly, and he comforted, "Old Bu, although the Burning Pulse has been destroyed, you can help him find a profession that does not require strength, such as an apothecary or a weaponsmith. Young Xuan is a strong child; he will surely be able to endure this. I will take my leave now; you need to remain calm."

Shh, do not speak...

Secondly, there is weakness; the entire person has become unprecedentedly weak

You little rascal, can I not be anxious

This ... ...
