Chapter 125: Chapter 125: Lin Rui Can See Lu Chen’s Injuries

Pfft!

It wasn’t until the spear had pierced through Li Mingru’s chest and the tip touched the dry leaves on the ground that Lu Chen pulled it back with a reverse grip.

His body felt as though it had lost all its strength, and he collapsed to the ground.

The rustling sound of small movements reached his ears—it was Xiao Hei, injured and approaching.

"Are you okay?"

Lu Chen asked, gasping for air.

Xiao Hei slightly lifted its head and nodded a few times, signifying it was alright.

Yet, Lu Chen saw that several scales had fallen from its neck.

"Since you’re okay, go check if the Medicine Sage is dead or not!"

Lu Chen nodded towards that direction, and Xiao Hei immediately slithered over.

Even though it was flung away by Li Mingru, its body hadn’t sustained serious injuries, so it had witnessed the whole scene clearly.

If it weren’t for the Medicine Sage, perhaps all three of them would have perished!

The Medicine Sage lay across the path. Xiao Hei quickly made its way towards him.

"Sss!"

Lu Chen kept his gaze fixed on that area and saw Xiao Hei nodding its head a few times. He couldn’t help but feel relieved, "He’s not dead?"

Forcing himself up, he walked over and found the Medicine Sage covered in blood, breathing feebly and having lost consciousness.

"Xiao Hei, can you carry him back to the valley?"

Xiao Hei thought for a moment, then nodded in agreement.

"Then let’s go. I can hold on for a while longer, and hopefully, we’ll run into Sister Mu Xiao. Otherwise, with such an intense fight here, and two dead, it might attract demon beasts."

The commotion they made was indeed not minor. Ordinary beasts wouldn’t dare to approach, but if any did, they would surely be of the Dragon Scale Beast’s caliber.

By then, they would have no hope of escape.

Xiao Hei carried the Medicine Sage on its back, while Lu Chen used the long spear as a walking stick.

A man and a snake, slowly retracing their way back.

But not long after, they met Mu Xiao, who had come searching for them!

"Sister Mu..."

Seeing that Mu Xiao only appeared disordered in breath, without any real injuries, the last bit of strength that Lu Chen was holding onto finally left him, and his body went limp as he passed out.

His injuries were actually not light. Besides clashing with the principal, his final confrontation with Li Mingru was also done on the verge of exhaustion.

However, driven by the will to survive, he forcibly suppressed the discomfort in his body.

Now that he saw Mu Xiao, feeling that he was finally safe, he let go of that last breath.

...

Lu Chen woke up in a wooden hut.

Faint glowing light filled the room, clearly coming from a Night Spirit Pearl.

"Back in the valley, I see. I must be safe!"

Lu Chen felt a surge of joy and tried to get out of bed to look around, but as soon as he tried to get up, he felt an intense pain throughout his body!

"Hiss... are my injuries that severe?"

The only injuries that could really harm him were probably those two palm strikes from the principal.

It was indeed fortunate that he had broken through to the Qi Refinement Realm before that, or he would have surely died!

Upon closer examination, he found his meridians slightly damaged, which not only caused a slight delay in the flow of his spiritual power but also slowed the healing of his injuries significantly.

At that moment,

The door opened, and Mu Xiao’s delicate figure appeared at the doorway.

"Lu Chen, you’re awake?"

Seeing Lu Chen sitting on the bed, Mu Xiao’s face brightened with joy.

"Sister Mu, I’m awake!"

Lu Chen said with a smile, preparing to get out of bed.

Painful as it was, it wasn’t unbearable.

Compared to the time his eyes were gouged out and his core was crippled, this pain was nothing.

"Good to hear," Mu Xiao turned and waved towards the outside of the hut, calling out, "Lin Rui, Lin Rui, come quickly and take Chen’s pulse!"

"Lin Rui can treat injuries?"

Lu Chen immediately laughed. Lin Rui’s family had been selling medicine for generations, becoming wealthy merchants, but he had never heard of Lin Rui having medical skills!

"Well, you might be surprised," Mu Xiao chuckled, "The Medicine Sage was actually saved by Lin Rui. You were unconscious earlier, so we didn’t want to make any decisions without you. Now that you’re awake, let Lin Rui take a look. Whether to take medication or not is up to you!"

"Then let’s have him take a look," Lu Chen also laughed, thinking, why not give it a shot?

He knew the state of his body well, and he was curious to see if Lin Rui had any real skills.

No sooner had he spoken than Lin Rui was already standing outside, exclaiming with joy, "Brother Chen, you’re awake? Your complexion is poor; it must be a problem with the meridians in your body. May I take your pulse?"

Upon hearing this, Lu Chen was astonished.

He had felt the disruption in his spiritual power before detecting the issue with his meridians, but Lin Rui had discovered it just by glancing at his face?
