My strength increases by one percent every day; I can destroy stars with my bare hands.

Three days later, Li Xuancang slowly woke up.

When I opened my eyes again, I saw the familiar military camp.

"I survived."

Li Xuancang secretly rejoiced that Heaven had once again favored him and allowed him to live again.

"hiss!

Li Xuancang tried to move his body, but a sharp pain suddenly struck him, making him gasp for breath.

"You...you're awake..."

Wang Xiaoniu walked into the room and saw that Li Xuancang had woken up, looking shocked.

He knew how serious Li Xuancang's injuries were and concluded that it was highly unlikely that Li Xuancang would wake up.

If Li Xuancang hadn't already been a soldier, he would have been thrown into the wilderness long ago.

Li Xuancang's ability to wake up despite such severe injuries greatly shocked Wang Xiaoniu.

Did you save me?

Li Xuancang spoke with difficulty, his voice somewhat hoarse.

"My older brother and I carried you back; you've been unconscious for three days."

Although Wang Xiaoniu was shocked, he was genuinely happy that Li Xuancang had survived.

The battle three days ago was extremely fierce, with more than ten soldiers killed.

Without Li Xuancang, the Wang brothers would not have had a chance to escape the battlefield and would likely have been killed in action.

Therefore, they were very grateful to Li Xuancang, and even though they thought he would never wake up, they still took good care of him.

Thank you.

Li Xuancang thanked Wang Xiaoniu.

Wang Xiaoniu waved his hand, poured a bowl of hot water, and handed it to Li Xuancang.

"No need to thank me, in fact, we brothers should thank you."

Li Xuancang struggled to take the bowl, and after drinking some water, he felt a little better.

"You're really tough; you managed to pull through such serious injuries."

Wang Xiaoniu kept looking Li Xuancang up and down, his eyes filled with disbelief.

Li Xuancang simply smiled and did not reply.

His survival is inseparable from the daily increase in strength.

If his coma hadn't affected the daily growth effect, he would have died long ago.

"You should rest well! I'll go get you something to eat."

Thank you.

Not long after Wang Xiaoniu left, he returned carrying a large bowl of rice and two dishes, and even a plate of meat.

Wang Xiaoniu carried it to Li Xuancang's side and said, "Eat quickly! This is something only you can eat because Lord Zhao personally gave the order."

Looking at the meat in front of Li Xuancang, Wang Xiaoniu subconsciously swallowed.

Li Xuancang had been unconscious for three days and was now starving. Looking at the food in front of him, he was overcome with hunger. After thanking Wang Xiaoniu, he picked up the bowl and began to wolf down the food.

"Um!"

After taking a bite of meat, Li Xuancang's eyes lit up. The taste was completely different from the meat he had eaten before.

Seeing Li Xuancang's reaction, Wang Xiaoniu explained to him.

"This is the meat of a demon beast, specifically a demon dog that was killed three days ago. It's extremely rare and will greatly benefit your injuries. If it weren't for Lord Zhao's intervention, you wouldn't have been able to eat it."

Demons feed on humans, and humans can also feed on demons.

Especially demonic beasts, whose flesh and blood contain enormous energy and abundant blood essence, are a great tonic for humans.

If Li Xuancang hadn't severely injured a demonic dog, thus attracting Zhao Changlin's attention, he wouldn't have been qualified to obtain demonic beast meat.

Li Xuancang ate heartily and quickly finished every last drop of his food.

"call!"

Li Xuancang exhaled a breath of stale air, feeling as if he had come back to life, and the pain in his body had lessened somewhat.

"Brother, I passed out. What happened after that?"

Li Xuancang knew nothing about what had happened after he fell into a coma, and he had no idea who the Lord Zhao mentioned by Wang Xiaoniu was. He was eager to find out what was going on.

Upon hearing this, Wang Xiaoniu's expression turned extremely serious, and he said solemnly, "After you fainted, Lord Zhao had our brothers bring you back, and then a great battle broke out with the demon hound..."

As Wang Xiaoniu recounted the events, Li Xuancang learned that many things had happened after he fell into a coma.

His squad was completely wiped out, with no survivors. Even the soldier who had initially fled was caught up by the demonic hounds and died a gruesome death.

After telling Li Xuancang what had happened over the past three days, Wang Xiaoniu continued, "Lord Zhao values ​​you highly. Get well soon! Lord Zhao will definitely entrust you with important responsibilities."

Wang Xiaoniu's eyes held a hint of envy; to be valued by Zhao Changlin meant a bright future.

However, he was not jealous, because he knew that Li Xuancang had risked his life for all of this.

If he could also face the demon dog head-on and severely injure one of it, Zhao Changlin would treat him differently.

"I'll have to trouble Brother Wang again these next few days."

It will take Li Xuancang at least two or three more days to regain his mobility.

"It was nothing, don't mention it."

Wang Xiaoniu didn't take it seriously. Compared to Li Xuancang's decision to let them leave the battlefield, this was nothing.

Looking at Wang Xiaoniu's generous face, Li Xuancang kept this kindness in his heart.

Although Wang Xiaoniu and his brother brought him back with ulterior motives.

But if the two people hadn't come to his rescue immediately and treated and bandaged his wounds, he probably wouldn't have made it through.

Li Xuancang will never forget this life-saving grace.

Li Xuancang also did not forget Zhao Changlin, who had asked the two men to escort him back and had given him special treatment.

He will definitely repay the favor if he has the opportunity in the future.

Three days passed in a flash, and Li Xuancang recovered very well and could move around normally, although he still could not engage in strenuous exercise.

"More than half a month has passed, and the news that I became a soldier should have reached Qingxi Village by now, so my parents and my older and younger sisters can relax a bit."

Li Xuancang thought of his parents and sisters at home.

His family was already struggling financially; otherwise, they wouldn't have been unable to pay his taxes, which would have forced him to serve in the military.

This place is located on the border of the Great Yan Dynasty, more than a thousand miles away from Qingxi Village.

Now, more than half a month has passed, and the news that he has become a soldier and is a member of the imperial court should have already reached Qingyang County.

Although he was unable to send back silver and grain, simply exempting his family from taxes would make things much easier for them.

"Brother Li, come with me quickly, Lord Zhao wants to see you."

Just as Li Xuancang's mind was wandering, Wang Xiaoniu came over excitedly and pulled Li Xuancang outside.

"Brother Li, Lord Zhao values ​​ability the most. You must perform well, and you may have a chance to become a squad leader."

As Wang Xiaoniu walked, he kept telling Li Xuancang to do his best, as this might be his chance to rise to prominence.

Having spent this time together, the Wang brothers had nothing but praise for Li Xuancang and were very much hoping that he could seize this hard-won opportunity that he had risked his life for.
