The water, fresh and sweet upon entering my mouth, seemed nothing special. But soon, a warm current surged through my body, as if every muscle and pore were relaxing. And a mysterious power quietly gathered within me and dispersed throughout my body.
Seeing that the spring water was quite mild and there was nothing wrong with it, Mu Hanyan simply drank the entire cup of water in one gulp. Immediately, the meridians and bones in her body felt like they were burning. Mu Hanyan could even feel her cheeks burning, and her strength was constantly increasing.
This power was so pure and so huge that Mu Hanyan could feel that even without any energy or the assistance of the priest's magic, this power was no less than that of a fifth-level swordsman.
However, as her strength increased, her meridians, bones, and even every muscle in her body were impacted by the immense force, causing a tearing pain. A fine layer of sweat also appeared on her forehead.
It's no wonder that the bloodline of the young master of the auspicious beast Qilin almost died. You should know that this spring water is only condensed by the blood and soul of the dragon clan. The power contained in it is still a lot less, and it is much milder in comparison. It made her body feel so painful after experiencing more than one meridian cutting and marrow washing. How much power would she have to withstand if she directly swallowed the dragon clan's blood and soul?
Fortunately, the little guy was filial and left the blood and soul from the dragon bloodline to her. The blood and soul he swallowed came from the bloodline of the giant turtle, otherwise he would most likely die without leaving any trace.
Feeling that she could still bear it, Mu Hanyan poured another glass of spring water and drank it, and then another glass.
After drinking three cups of spring water, Mu Hanyan felt as if every bone in her body was broken, and the piercing pain went straight into her mind. The increase in her strength gradually stopped.
Mu Hanyan knew that this was the limit. One was the limit of her body, and the other was the limit of the spring water. After all, it was only condensed from the blood and soul of the dragon clan. The efficacy of this spring water was ultimately limited. It was impossible to increase the strength indefinitely. It was like many panaceas. When you take the first pill, your strength will increase greatly, but it will be completely wasted afterwards.
Knowing that drinking any more would only increase the pain and would no longer help improve her strength, Mu Hanyan put away the water bag. Because of the extreme pain, her hands were shaking slightly, and drops of cold sweat kept rolling down her forehead.
Taking a deep breath, Mu Hanyan slowly closed her eyes. Despite her experience in two lives and countless trials, she still found the heart-wrenching pain difficult to bear, even to the point of confusion. This was also her. If it were anyone else, even if their body didn't explode under the immense force, they would have been traumatized by the pain and their soul would have been shattered.
Mu Hanyan practiced the Divine Martial Soul Refining Technique over and over again, keeping her mind focused, and the pain in her body gradually disappeared.
Everyone looked at her nervously, but didn't dare to speak, for fear of disturbing her and causing any accidents.
"Sir, are you okay?" After a long time, seeing Mu Hanyan let out a long sigh and opened his eyes, his expression became much more relaxed, Mu Tu asked cautiously.
"I'm sorry for making everyone worry. I'm fine." Mu Hanyan felt a little sorry when she saw everyone's worried expressions, and said with a smile.
Mu Tu breathed a sigh of relief, but there was still some curiosity in his eyes.
Mu Hanyan certainly knew what he was curious about. Others didn't know the origin of the spring water, but he saw with his own eyes where the spring water came from. He also had the credit for digging out the Ba Xia dragon armor. After the little auspicious beast ate the blood soul bead, its supernatural power became amazing. What effect would it have if Mu Hanyan drank this spring water?
Mu Hanyan herself was also somewhat curious about this question.
Drawing out the Hanxiao Sword again, Mu Hanyan stared at the huge rock outside the village that was three meters square.
The pure power flowed through his limbs and bones, and gradually condensed into the long sword. The Hanxiao Sword actually emitted a desolate buzzing sound.
With a clear whistle, Mu Hanyan slashed towards the boulder. Although she didn't channel any energy into it, as the sword sliced through the air, the surrounding light distorted, as if the sword had torn apart space.
"Chi" the sword light passed by, but there was no loud roaring sound of stone breaking when the powerful energy exploded in the past, only a cold light like lightning.
A moment later, Mu Hanyan's sword fell, and the surroundings were completely silent. Everyone looked at Mu Hanyan in confusion, as if nothing had happened. Just now, when Mu Hanyan slashed with her sword, seeing the distorted light, everyone had expected a big commotion, but in the end, it was just a false strike, and the boulder didn't react at all. Isn't this just thunder and rain?
"Uh...Lord Hanyan's sword move was truly earth-shattering. Let's continue drinking, drink." Mu Tu's mind was not as rough as it looked. Although he was disappointed, he did not show it. Instead, he spoke comfortingly, forcing a dry laugh as he walked towards the wine table.
The others were also secretly disappointed and turned away.
"Boom" At this moment, a loud bang suddenly came from behind, and the earth shook violently.
Everyone froze and turned their heads suddenly, only to see that the huge rock, which was three meters square, had actually split in the middle and collapsed to both sides. A thick cloud of dust rose into the air and quickly dissipated in the wind. Looking at the crack again, it was as smooth as a mirror.
Everyone was stunned with their jaws dropped. You know, these huge rocks exposed in the wilderness were not as hard as iron, but they were almost as hard as iron. Otherwise, they would have turned into dust in the sharp north wind. But now, they were split in half like tofu, and the cracks were as smooth as a mirror.
Only then did everyone realize that Mu Hanyan's sword strike was not just a case of much ado about nothing, but rather that the sword was too powerful and the speed was too fast, so that the huge rock that was split in half did not break immediately.
What a terrifying sword!
This result shocked even Mu Hanyan herself. She was certain that the power of this strike was no less than that of a ninth-level swordsman.
Without relying on any energy or any priest's magic, he can use pure strength to perform a sword attack equivalent to that of a ninth-level swordsman. This would be unimaginable to the previous Mu Hanyan.
However, such power was clearly not something anyone could withstand. Just one strike of the sword had left Mu Hanyan's arms numb and a sense of weakness. After all, it was pure force, relying entirely on physical exertion, unlike the constant circulation of Qi, so the toll on the body was even greater.
But no matter what, Mu Hanyan was still very excited that she suddenly had the combat power equivalent to that of a ninth-level swordsman, and she didn't have to worry about exposing her sword skills.
The overwhelming feeling of powerlessness she had felt not long ago had made Mu Hanyan realize with absolute clarity that she needed to become stronger, and fast. In this unfamiliar land, to protect herself and those who were willing to sacrifice their lives for her, she needed to rapidly improve her strength. She truly didn't want to experience that overwhelming feeling of powerlessness and self-blame again.
