Segment introduction
About the protagonist
Lin Xuan is not a likable person. He is silent, paranoid, and cruel to himself to the point of being pathological. He would kneel in the heavy rain for seven days and seven nights just for a chance, he would use sword energy to repeatedly cut his meridians until they became tougher, and he would push himself to the edge of death again and again and then crawl back. He is not a genius, not a hero, not even a normal person. He was just an ordinary man who had everything taken away from him but refused to admit defeat.
About the heroine
Shen Qingyi is another extreme. She was born with a vision from heaven. She built her foundation at the age of five and broke through the foundation state at the age of ten. She is a spiritual genius that is rare to see in a century. When she first met Lin Xuan, she thought he was a useless person who knew nothing about the world. I became curious the second time I saw him. When I saw him for the third time, I couldn't take my eyes away again. It took her a long time to understand - she was not moved by his perseverance, but she saw in him what she would never have, but what she longed for most.
About practice
This is not a cool article about "upgrading and killing monsters". Every time Lin Xuan became stronger, he had to pay a heavy price. His practice is called "self-mutilation practice" - using sword energy to cut meridians, using spiritual power to shatter bones, and allowing the body to be reborn after destruction. Others rely on their talent and resources for cultivation, while his cultivation relies on "being able to bear it" and "not risking one's life." This setting runs throughout the book, and all the seemingly cheating combat power is obtained with blood.
About the main line
The main line of the book is clear and single: Lin Xuan wants to find Yin Wuji and get back his sword bone - or use another way to prove that he can still fight without the sword bone.
