Chapter 856 Mysterious Connection
Hearing about the injury, Ji Lan cried even louder.
Wang Zhishan’s face turned extremely grim as he asked, “How long will it take to recover?”
Hearing this question, the physician’s expression became troubled. After hesitating for a moment, he said, “Regarding Young Master Xiaofeng’s condition… the issue isn’t about recovery time… but whether he can fully recover at all…”
“What!?” Wang Zhishan’s eyes widened as he asked.
“Family Head, Young Master Xiaofeng’s internal injuries are extremely severe, with damage to his meridians throughout his body… Complete recovery will be extremely difficult…” the physician said.
Ji Lan’s legs weakened, and she collapsed to the ground.
Wang Zhishan took a deep breath, turned away, then suddenly turned back, clenched his right fist, and slammed it violently into the floor!
“Bang!”
The floor was punctured with a hole.
All four physicians were startled and looked at Wang Zhishan.
“You all… do your utmost to treat Xiaofeng,” Wang Zhishan said, suppressing his inner rage. “If you need anything, just tell me.”
After speaking, Wang Zhishan ignored Ji Lan who was crying uncontrollably behind him and quickly walked out of the hospital room.
He was beyond furious!
If Wang Xiaofeng couldn’t fully recover, his life would be ruined!
At the same time, the hope for Wang Zhishan’s branch of the family would be destroyed in an instant!
Wang Zhishan was twenty-eight years old this year, ranked eighteenth on the Heaven’s List!
With his talent and rate of progress, before turning thirty, he had a great chance of entering the top fifteen or even the top ten of the Heaven’s List!
By then, Wang Zhishan’s branch would rise in status within the Wang family! They would receive more resources!
If Wang Xiaofeng couldn’t recover from this, he would not only miss the upcoming trials and martial arts competition… but also miss out on a large amount of future cultivation resources from the Wang family!
Everything was ruined!
“Damn it! Damn it! Damn it!”
Wang Zhishan quickly returned to his home, his eyes bloodshot, his heart filled with hatred and anger.
He didn’t care who the opponent was; anyone who dared to destroy the future of their entire branch would have to die!
Fang Yu! Huai Xu!
Neither of them would escape!
“This old bastard, relying on his reputation, actually dared to harm Xiaofeng! This time… I won’t give him face anymore! I’ll tear his face apart!” Wang Zhishan thought through gritted teeth.
Walking back to the gate of his home, Wang Zhishan suddenly thought of something and changed direction, heading toward a building located in a more central position.
Wang Wenshan had been taken away…
So this matter also involved another branch.
The Wang Hetian branch!
The opponent was Huai Xu after all, not to be underestimated!
Wang Zhishan decided to strike together with Wang Hetian!
…
The news that a Wang family prodigy had been severely injured at the family meeting, witnessed by many family representatives, could no longer be suppressed.
After the family representatives returned to their own clans, this news spread throughout the entire Northern Capital martial arts world in just two short hours!
Although the person who severely injured Wang Xiaofeng wasn’t Huai Xu himself, most people still viewed this incident as a signal of Huai Xu declaring war on the Wang family!
No one knew why Huai Xu would do this, but they didn’t care either.
The Northern Capital had been peaceful for too long, and since this major incident wouldn’t involve them personally… most people were delighted to hear about it.
Especially since both parties were influential figures in the Northern Capital martial arts world, which added to the attention this incident received.
Huai Xu, one of the founders of the Martial Arts Association, an evergreen tree in the Northern Capital martial arts world, was an unattainable existence in terms of both identity and status.
The Wang family had been the number one family in Northern Capital for two hundred years, continuing to this day with immeasurable foundation and numerous talents within the family.
However, everyone knew that each branch of the Wang family handled matters independently.
Wang Xiaofeng belonged to the Wang Zhishan branch, while Wang Wenshan belonged to the Wang Hetian branch.
This incident might not mobilize the entire Wang family; perhaps only these two branches would step forward.
But the grudge between Huai Xu and the Wang family had been thoroughly established.
And now, the Martial Arts Association was in a semi-collapsed state… but the Wang family was at its peak.
No one could predict the final outcome of this confrontation.
…
While things were bustling outside, Fang Yu stood at the top of the clock tower at home, continuing to observe the situation of the thirty-seven observatories.
The unusual energy emanating from the observatory located in the outskirts of Northern Capital was growing stronger.
This also indicated that the ancient ruin beneath Qingquan was about to open.
Without question, he would have to enter it this time.
Fang Yu might need to enter all thirty-seven ancient ruins.
He would enter not for various inheritances, but to seek an answer.
What exactly was the Great Revival Era mentioned by Tianmo, and the Flood mentioned by Dao Kong.
Later that night, Fang Yu called for Zhao Zinan and took her to the deepest spring water.
It was nine o’clock at night, with bright moonlight shining down on the mansion grounds.
In this mansion, moonlight perfectly replaced the need for artificial lighting.
Zhao Zinan followed step by step behind Fang Yu.
She didn’t know why Fang Yu had called her out so late… and felt a bit nervous.
When they reached the spring water, Fang Yu stopped.
Lost in her thoughts, Zhao Zinan bumped directly into Fang Yu’s back.
Fang Yu turned to look at Zhao Zinan.
“I’m sorry…” Zhao Zinan quickly apologized.
“Walk forward,” Fang Yu said.
Zhao Zinan was stunned for a moment, then followed Fang Yu’s instruction and walked toward the spring water.
Fang Yu observed the changes in the spirit spring.
Sure enough, as Zhao Zinan approached the spring water, the life energy emanating from the spring immediately became more intense!
This phenomenon had been tested once before in the vegetable garden in Huaibei.
Zhao Zinan’s physique seemed to produce a unique reaction with the Star Fruit.
Each time Zhao Zinan approached the Star Fruit, it would enhance the life energy emanating from it.
The closer the distance, the stronger the life energy.
What was causing this strange phenomenon?
“Stop there,” Fang Yu said.
Zhao Zinan immediately stopped and turned to look at Fang Yu, her innocent face filled with confusion.
Fang Yu activated his Eye of Insight.
Zhao Zinan’s body couldn’t be seen through, but the connection between her body and the outside world could be observed.
Indeed, in the vision of the Eye of Insight, he could see a line connecting Zhao Zinan’s body with the Star Fruit beneath the clear spring.
Compared to other rule lines, this line was thicker, emitting a faint blue light.
“Walk forward again,” Fang Yu said.
Seeing the light emanating from Fang Yu’s eyes, Zhao Zinan felt a bit scared.
But she still bit her red lips lightly and continued walking toward the clear spring.
At this point, in Fang Yu’s vision, he could clearly see that the line connecting Zhao Zinan and the Star Fruit was becoming thicker.
And the Star Fruit in his vision had become like a small sun, with blue flames burning around it.
These blue flames were actually life force.
“Brother Fang Yu, the spring water is right ahead,” Zhao Zinan stopped and turned to tell Fang Yu in a soft voice.
Calling Fang Yu “brother” made her shy.
But Fang Yu had mentioned before that she didn’t need to call him “sir.”
So she chose to address him in the way she liked most.
“Mm, you can stop there,” Fang Yu said.
Fang Yu stared at Zhao Zinan for a good while before his eyes returned to normal.
The Eye of Insight couldn’t determine how the connection between Zhao Zinan and the Star Fruit was formed.
Fang Yu walked to Zhao Zinan’s side, crouched down, scooped up some spring water with both hands, and drank it.
Then, he sat down on a stone by the shore, looked at Zhao Zinan, and said, “Find a place to sit down. Let’s talk.”
“Okay,” Zhao Zinan answered softly, walking to Fang Yu’s side and sitting directly on the grass.
She felt very nervous, as this was the first time she was alone with someone other than her brother, especially on a night like this with no one around.
“Do you still remember anything about your childhood?”
After Zhao Zinan sat down, Fang Yu asked.
“Hmm… I remember some things,” Zhao Zinan thought for a moment and answered.
“Then think back, did you experience anything strange when you were little?” Fang Yu continued asking.
Fang Yu had previously inquired with Zhao Jidao and Zhao Xuan, and could basically confirm that Zhao Zinan had indeed been born from her mother’s womb, which was beyond doubt.
Since there was nothing unusual about her birth, he could only search through her personal experiences.
In any case, from Fang Yu’s perspective, Zhao Zinan’s unique physique couldn’t possibly have been present at birth.
Something must have happened during her growth that changed her physique.
