Chapter 32: Ultimate Buff!
Xu Tao stood right outside of the earthen wall, keeping watch over Arthur’s fight.
"Guh...! You big oaf...!"
And honestly, Arthur was the literal underdog.
His body was now battered, filled with wounds all over. It hadn’t even been a minute yet, and he looked like he’d fall over any second!
But for some weird reason, he kept standing up. His trembling legs and hands stabilized after every breath, his eyes sharply glaring at his enemy. "I... won’t fall...!" he growled like a wounded lion. "Not... until I see the goddess wearing that!"
"..."
Xu Tao felt exasperated.
Well, motivations aside, it was good that his fighting spirit at least was not losing to the enemy. Each punch he took shook him to the bones, but he still held strong, not backing down a bit.
"That guy’s a natural punching bag..." Xu Tao commented as he continued watching. "But his injuries heal rapidly with every breath... A mystery."
From his long life as a cultivator, he had seen even more mysterious phenomena. And seeing how Arthur’s wounds were healing rapidly with every breath he took, he quickly realized how he was able to keep standing back up.
"...It’s his sword," he muttered, noticing the secret behind Arthur’s recovery. "The sword is healing his wounds rapidly, using the golden particles of light that float around it."
