Light Fortress

There is nothing here.

Only a weathered, haggard face.

The old man stared at the water and said softly, "You know? These wounds are nothing. Sixty years ago, I suffered even more serious injuries."

"In the battle at South Ladder Fortress on the North Continent, a shell hit half of my body... and just exploded."

Gu Qilin spoke calmly, "I was seriously injured and passed out. In that moment of the explosion, I thought my life was over, and even if I survived, I would only be left with half... After sleeping for three days and nights, I woke up to the doctor’s report that, apart from extensive burns, I had only broken a dozen or so bones."

Only...?

Gu Shen’s expression was somewhat animated.

Most Transcendents would have died from such injuries... A few, like the "Undead" Song Ci, would also have been severely damaged. Burns are the most painful type of injury, and even with extraordinary healing abilities, one would need to endure a long recovery period, where every minute and second is a torment.

One has to admit that the young Gu Qilin possessed terrifying body repair capabilities.

"I left the hospital in half a month."
