Chapter 574: Comprehensive
The nap lasted a little longer than expected.
Hao Xuan slowly opened his eyes and was welcod by nothing but darkness. The nights here were 3-4 tis longer than on earth so most of the ti it was dark out.
The cold night air gently brushed past his cheeks, pulling him back to reality.
"Baracus, how long was I asleep for?"
*Beep*
"10 hours and 42 standard minutes."
The standard units of asurent were chosen by Hao Xuan himself and were all the sa as back on earth, be it related to ti, distance, or anything else for that matter.
With so effort, Hao Xuan propped himself up against a nearby tree and checked his condition. Most of the injuries were either fully healed or closed up enough that he didn't need to worry about them too much.
Only the areas that directly ca into contact with the sorcerer's attacks were still almost the sa. Dark purple bruises on his left arm and a few spots on his abdon and legs. They felt numb, softer to the touch.
Hao Xuan closed his eyes, recalling the contents of the Imperial Glaive Doctrine.
It didn't have a lot of advanced fighting techniques but everything related to basic training and fighting was there, a comprehensive collection of various small and discreet arts, techniques and manuals including a naless recovery technique that helped improve blood flow and the natural healing process of the body so he could fight longer, heal faster and endure sustained damage.
He followed the instructions and focused on his breathing. In and out, slowly and forcefully. Gradually increasing the pressure by tightening and relaxing the abb muscles in sudden bursts of power, he increased the blood flow of his body, pumping it harder and harder.
A technique like this could only be used those individuals that already had so achievents in their physiques. It required extrely tough yet flexible veins, and muscles that were capable of rapid bursts of movent.
If a normal person attempted to do try it, their muscles would tear and veins would rupture from within in re seconds, leading to an excruciatingly painful death.
The color of Hao Xuan's skin darkened by several shades and his vein bubbled up, snaking along his body. It was not a pretty sight but one that bore fruit, albeit a very painful one.
A dark blue substance slowly seeped out of his skin, from every spot the bruises covered.
Hao Xuan could only endure for a little over 12 minutes, after which he collapsed once again.
The dark color receded and he started to look like his normal self again, although just a little bit thinner. He had lost so weight but managed to drive out the clashing energy inside his body.
The bruises now looked much better and would heal on their own.
Baracus who was waiting for Hao Xuan to finish quickly spoke up.
"There is another gateway relatively nearby. I am not sure if it has been discovered or not but that would be your best bet right now."
The map popped up in front of Hao Xuan's eyes. It was a spot so 300 kiloters away.
"Alright alright," Hao Xuan stood up. He felt light-headed and almost tipped over.
"Warning, blood glucose level is dangerously low," the warning appeared right after.
"Noooo, really?! I had no idea!!" Hao Xuan still managed to make a sarcastic remark even through the dizziness before waving his hand.
A mont later Grey appeared in front of him.
Grey was not one of Hao Xuan's severs at the mont which is why he was able to call him out right now. He had made a very standard soul contract with Grey which benefitted both of them equally.
Grey was not a fighter either so Hao Xuan could not call him out earlier. He thought about summoning him just to run away but he was too big of a target for those slippery rn and the chances of him getting killed before being able to escape were too high to risk it.
Hao Xuan jumped on his back and pointed in the direction of the gate.
"Straight that way but take your ti. Try to keep steady, I want to rest a little longer."
Grey let out a couple of giddy neighs and started moving forward, while Hao Xuan took out so dried at and food products to eat during the journey to fill his stomach which was howling right now.
For so reason, he couldn't stop thinking about the rn, wondering if they actually tasted like fish. If so, it was a huge waste to just leave their bodies behind. So hot fish bone soup would be perfect right now.
Drooling over his last enemies, the ti passed by rather quickly and within 3 hours they arrived near the foot of a mountain.
The gateway was sowhere around here but Grey refused to go any further.
"What? What's wrong?" Hao Xuan asked with a raised eyebrow.
