The shuttle in the second dimension

　"Thank you, Wuzi."

　On the other side, Zhu Xingxiongda looked at Lin Xuan silently. He was just recalling the scene of the previous battle. Although the battle was very short, there were many things worth his attention. In particular, there was one thing. When he was fighting with Lin Xuan, he always felt that Lin Xuan was missing something, but he had never thought about it during the battle. Now, looking back, he got the answer he wanted - lack of sound.

　That's right, there was no sound at all. No matter whether it was the steps or the strikes, everything was silent. Of course, the sound of the bones cracking inside the body was not counted.

　Sound is the wave created by the vibration of air, which means that sound represents the dispersion of power. This shows that Lin Xuan has completely controlled his power, so that his movements do not expend unnecessary effort.

　Looking at Lin Xuan's back, Zhu Xingxiongda thought in his heart.

　"Is this really something humans can do?"

Chapter 87: Half a Year and Returning Home

　After his sparring match with Zhu Xingxiong, Lin Xuan's life returned to the usual boring and painful rehabilitation training. The only change was that Zhu Xingxiong would often come to spar with him. Although the results were always the same, he always lost, he still enjoyed sparring with Lin Xuan. After these constant sparring matches, Lin Xuan could clearly sense Zhu Xingxiong's improvement in spearmanship.

　In fact, Lin Xuan was also very happy to let Zhu Xingxiong Xiongdai challenge him to a sparring match. On the one hand, it allowed him not to forget the feeling of fighting, and on the other hand, it allowed him to practice his swordsmanship. Lin Xuan wanted to take advantage of this opportunity when he was weak to "learn" swordsmanship from scratch, starting from the basics, and forge his swordsmanship again to make it more sophisticated.

　The days passed one by one, and another six months had passed since that sparring match. After about eight months of recovery, Lin Xuan's body gradually began to "fill out." He was no longer the skin and bones he had been after the surgery. Although he still looked a little thin, a closer look revealed an astonishing strength within his frail frame.

　Even Zhu Xing Yu Dai had been greatly influenced by Lin Xuan over the past six months. Not only had his spearmanship improved, but his previously incomplete recovery had almost fully healed. His health was back on track, and there were practically no issues left. In fact, it wouldn't be long before he could return as a king, regaining the honor he had lost, and moving one step closer to fulfilling his wish of having his sister speak again.

　Eight months of purgatory-like rehabilitation training gave Lin Xuan a full workout both physically and mentally. Although his body was not yet in top condition, he could feel that his physical condition was no weaker than before the injury. What did this mean? Once Lin Xuan's body reached its peak again, his strength would be further enhanced through the improvement of his physique.

　Eight months of rehabilitation training sounds like a long time, but compared to the several years it took Moroboshi Yudai to recover to this level, eight months is already very short.

　Originally, based on Lin Xuan's current physical condition, he could have been discharged from the hospital. His physical condition hadn't yet reached its peak, but it was enough for him to use his full strength while ensuring his health.

　Although his body was no longer in good condition, Lin Xuan chose to stay instead of leaving. He knew that if he left this time, he would have to wait until the beginning of the story to return. Therefore, he wanted to stay a little longer. Of course, another reason was that with the pharmacist Wu Zi around, he didn't have to worry about any hidden injuries or serious injuries that could not be treated in time during his high-intensity training.

　For example, Lin Xuan is now conducting training that he would not do easily in the past five years. The reason why he would not do it easily is that such training would cause great harm to the body. If not treated in time, it would cause great sequelae to the body. Moreover, he was on the battlefield for the past five years and did not have enough time to conduct such training.

　The main purpose of this training is to strengthen his body. It is a kind of body-building exercise that Luo Hao taught him. At that time, he could rely on the physique of a godslayer and some means to ignore those sequelae, but now he can't do that. He can only rely on the superb medical skills of the pharmacist Wu Zi to treat the injuries caused by the training.

　"Hahahahahahahaha" Lying on the floor in the training room, Lin Xuan was gasping heavily.

　"Your body has obviously recovered to a similar level as before, so why are you still doing such self-destructive training?" Looking at Lin Xuan lying on the ground gasping for breath, pharmacist Wu Zi asked with some confusion.

　Although Lin Xuan's purgatory-like rehabilitation training lasted significantly less time than Zhu Xingxiong's, the pain he endured during that training was far greater. And the pain he endured during his current training was no less than what he had endured during his previous training. Pharmacist Wu Zi had no idea why Lin Xuan would choose this self-harming training method when his body had almost fully recovered.

　Lin Xuan glanced at the pharmacist Wu Zi who was walking towards him and did not get up. It was not that he did not want to get up, but his body was no longer able to get up. There was no other way. To gain something, one must pay.

　Lying on the ground, Lin Xuanti closed his eyes after hearing the question from Pharmacist Wu Zi, and murmured to himself, "Why do I have to train myself in such a self-destructive way?"

　"Hey - Wu Zi, do you still remember what I said to you when I asked you to help me recover my legs? Like Zhu Xing, I have reasons for having to recover my legs." Opening his pair of blue eyes, Lin Xuan turned his head slightly and looked at the pharmacist Wu Zi who was walking towards him.

　"Of course I remember. I still remember the determined look in your eyes at that time." Nodding, Pharmacist Wu Zi responded.

　"Back then, I didn't tell you why I had to recover my legs. Now I'll tell you, the reason that compelled me to recover my legs, and the reason that led me to train myself so self-destructively now—I'm going home."

　"——Go home!?" At this moment, Pharmacist Wu Zi, who was changing clothes, seemed to have heard it wrongly because her ears were not working well, so she repeated it again for Lin Xuan.

　As if he had already guessed that Pharmacist Wu Zi would be like this, Lin Xuan's face showed a hint of seriousness. "You heard it right, it means going home."

　"I must have enough strength, otherwise, I will never be able to return home and will never see my family who are waiting for me to come home." Looking at the pharmacist Wu Zi, Lin Xuan's eyes once again ignited the determination that moved the pharmacist Wu Zi.

　"You—" Honestly, Pharmacist Wu Zi had thought of many reasons why Lin Xuan was so obsessed with power, but she had never considered that the reason Lin Xuan was so obsessed with becoming stronger was to go home. At the same time, she couldn't understand why Lin Xuan, who possessed such strength, couldn't even realize a simple wish like going home.

　At this time, Yaoshi Wuzi found that the boy lying on the ground in front of him, who was about his age, had become more mysterious, and at the same time, he had become...

-------------Chapter Dividing Line---------------

　In a commercial street in Daban, Lin Xuan is turning into a foodie.

　"Mmmmm - delicious." Lin Xuan puffed out his lips, chewing the food in his mouth while mumbling to Zhu Xingxiong Xiongda who was sitting in front of him, "The wine you brought with you is too rich. It's gone in just a few bites. (The amount you bring each time is too small. It's gone in just a few bites.)"

　"Hey, hey, hey, swallow what's in your mouth before you speak. You're talking so unclearly that I can't hear you clearly." Zhu Xingxiongda said with a frown as he looked at Lin Xuan who was talking while eating.

　"Oh~~~" After hearing what Moroboshi Yudai said, Lin Xuan swallowed the food in his mouth and responded. However, after responding, Lin Xuan stuffed his mouth with okonomiyaki again and continued eating.

　"——" Looking at Lin Xuan speechlessly, Zhu Xingxiongda twitched the corner of his mouth. To be honest, when he saw Lin Xuan appear in his own store early in the morning, Zhu Xingxiongda was really scared. At first, he thought he had seen it wrong, but after taking a closer look, he found that it was really Lin Xuan.

　Originally, after more than half a year of getting along, Zhu Xingxiongda thought he had a general understanding of Lin Xuan, but Lin Xuan's appearance as a foodie today had somewhat overturned his perception of Lin Xuan. However, this also made Zhu Xingxiongda feel that Lin Xuan was now easier to get along with.

　"Let me ask you, did you tell the pharmacist before you came? You didn't just leave without saying a word, did you?" Looking at Lin Xuan who was enjoying his meal, Zhu Xingxiongda suddenly asked.

　Gollum—

　After swallowing the okonomiyaki in his mouth, Lin Xuan waved his hand and said, "How could I leave without saying a word? I left a note in the ward after all. If Wu Zi went there, she would definitely see it. Besides, my body has almost recovered now. I don't need to be as busy as before. I'm only gone for one morning."

　"Well, that's good. I was worried that you would come to me without saying a word, and the pharmacist would think that I was bewitching you, and then all the blame would be put on me." After hearing Lin Xuan's words, Zhu Xing Xiongda immediately breathed a sigh of relief, and said with a look of fear on his face. It looked like he regarded the pharmacist Wu Zi as a devil.

　"Hey, hey, hey~~~Wu Zi, how can you be so unreasonable." Looking at Zhu Xingxiong Yudai's frightened expression, Lin Xuanshao raised an eyebrow and chuckled as he continued, "Besides, if Wu Zi heard you say that, she would let you experience her superb 'medical skills'."

　"As long as you don't tell anyone, everything will be fine." Waving his hands, Zhu Xingxiongda said with a look of relief, but as if he suddenly remembered something, Zhu Xingxiongda asked cautiously, "Lin Xuan, you won't betray me, right?"

　"That depends on how you want to bribe me~~" Lin Xuan said with a smirk, raising the corner of his mouth.

　"Isn't this enough!?" Pointing at a table of okonomiyaki, Moroboshi Yudai said with his eyes wide open.

　"It's not enough. I'm only five-tenths full." After saying that, Lin Xuan took another bite of okonomiyaki.

　Zhuxingxiongda "..."

　"Huh!?" Lin Xuan raised his eyebrows and glanced at Zhu Xing Yudai who was sitting opposite him. "What are you still doing here? Why don't you go prepare something to eat for me?"

　Zhuxingxiongda "..."

　Looking at Zhu Xing Yudai who was speechless, Lin Xuan slightly raised the corner of his mouth.

　At this time, a petite figure came over here carrying a few plates of okonomiyaki.

　When he saw the petite figure, Lin Xuan immediately swallowed the okonomiyaki in his mouth. At the same time, he put down his chopsticks and said with a smile, "Hello, Xiaomei."

　That’s right, that petite figure was none other than Yudai Moroboshi’s younger sister, Komei Moroboshi.

　After hearing Lin Xuan's words, Moroboshi Xiaomei put the okonomiyaki in her hand on the table, bowed gracefully, then took out a sketchbook from the wide sleeves of her kimono and wrote on it quickly. After she finished writing, she turned the sketchbook over and showed Lin Xuan the round and lovely handwriting on the sketchbook.

　[Hello, Brother Lin Xuan~~~]

　Xiaomei was introduced to him by Zhu Xingyudai. Although they had only met a few times, Lin Xuan was very protective of this adorable little girl. And because Xiaomei was introduced by her brother, she also had a good impression of Lin Xuan and always addressed him as "Lin Xuan brother"...

　After seeing Xiaomei coming over, Lin Xuan patted the seat beside him, glanced at Zhu Xingxiongda and said, "Xiaomei, come and sit here and eat together. Let the person who sits there and slacks off do the rest of the work. Sigh~~~~ Watching your sister working hard while you are slacking off, how can there be such a brother in the world~~~~"

　As soon as Lin Xuan finished speaking, Zhu Xingxiong's forehead suddenly showed several crosses. "You guy, don't slander me in front of Xiaomei!!!"

　Meanwhile, seeing Moroboshi Yudai's expression, Xiaomei's bright eyes immediately formed into crescents. She smiled happily and wrote in her sketchbook, "Brother Lin Xuan is teasing me again."

　"Xiaomei, how can you say that I am teasing your brother? I am telling you the truth. Look, this guy is sitting here and slacking off while you are working." Lin Xuan raised his eyebrows and said with a playful look on his face.

　"Ah ah!! I'm going to fight with you!" Looking at Lin Xuan's playful look, Zhu Xingxiong shouted at Lin Xuan madly.

　Lin Xuan curled his lips at Zhu Xingxiong Dai's frantic look and said nonchalantly, "You're talking as if you can beat me if you fight me. You're overthinking it."

　###! !

　Lin Xuan's words not only failed to calm Zhu Xingxiong Dai down, but made the wrinkles on his forehead even more severe. It looked like if he really couldn't beat Lin Xuan, he would really take out his [Tiger King] and make a few holes in Lin Xuan's body.

　"Okay, okay, let's stop playing. You'd better get me some more as soon as possible." Shaking his head, Lin Xuan said with a smile.

　Zhuxingxiongda "..."

　Zhu Xingxiong felt that Lin Xuan had overturned his perception of him again. He had not expected that Lin Xuan, a determined foodie who had similar experiences with him and had learned from him for more than half a year, would actually be such a hateful guy. He felt that he was too young at the time and thought that he would be a good friend, but in fact he was a bad friend.

　At this time, Zhu Xingxiong could only sigh

　“You made the wrong friends!!!”

Chapter 89

　After finishing his meal at Zhu Xingxiong's restaurant, Lin Xuan took his leave. However, he did not return to the hospital immediately. Instead, he continued to walk around the restaurant and ate a few more special snacks that he wanted to eat before returning to the hospital.

　As soon as he returned to his ward, Lin Xuan saw the pharmacist Wu Zi sitting in his ward with her legs crossed. It seemed that she was waiting for him on purpose.

　"Hey! Are you waiting for me?" Obviously, Lin Xuan was still very surprised that Pharmacist Wu Zi was waiting for him in his ward.

　"You are really good. You ran out to play without saying a word." In the ward, pharmacist Wu Zi raised her eyebrows slightly, with a look of accusing someone. However, the slightly upturned corners of her mouth revealed that she did not really want to blame Lin Xuan.

　"Didn't I leave you a note saying I was leaving?" Lin Xuan seemed to notice the slightly upturned corners of Pharmacist Wu Zi's mouth, and he also smiled as he spoke. "Besides, I was planning to ask you to come with me when I left, but you were treating a patient at the time, and I couldn't let you abandon the patient. Besides, even if I said so, you couldn't abandon the patient."

　"Little brother, you still have some conscience. You remember to think of your sister before you leave." Holding the armrest, she stood up from the chair and walked towards Lin Xuan. When she walked in front of Lin Xuan, she took the pen in her hand and gently poked Lin Xuan's cheek, and said with a hint of teasing, "Sister will be out soon and will not be back for two days. Little brother, you have to take it easy these two days. Don't let your sister see you lying on the bed unable to move when she comes back. Your sister will be heartbroken." After that, the pharmacist Wu Zi walked past Lin Xuan.

　Lin Xuan: “…”

　Turning his head slightly, looking at the back of Pharmacist Wu Zi who was gradually leaving behind him, Lin Xuan felt helpless. Now, he was almost used to being teased by Pharmacist Wu Zi, but he couldn't tease her back. Otherwise, after each training, when he needed Pharmacist Wu Zi's treatment, he would understand how superb her medical skills were, and how she could make you feel like you were in ecstasy in minutes.

　After the figure of Pharmacist Wu Zi had disappeared from his sight, Lin Xuan walked to the chair where Pharmacist Wu Zi had sat before, sat down slowly, and murmured, "Two days~~~ It seems that I have to be quiet for the next two days. The original training can only be resumed after Wu Zi comes back. But——"

　Lin Xuan turned his head slightly and looked out the window, then said thoughtfully, "Since Wuzi is away for the past two days, I can go out for a walk, maybe visit some old friends I haven't seen for a long time. I just don't know if they still recognize me."

　-

　After Pharmacist Wu Zi left the hospital, Lin Xuan also left. Actually, it wasn't that Lin Xuan couldn't train without Pharmacist Wu Zi. He could still do some regular training, and although the effect was minimal, it was still effective. It was just that Lin Xuan wanted to take advantage of these two days to do something he wanted to do.

　As soon as he left the hospital, Lin Xuan went to a shopping mall. He was there to buy gifts, but even though he was buying gifts, he didn't know what gifts to buy, so the things he bought were very messy, including toys, milk powder, nutritional supplements, etc. This also caused him to carry a lot of things when he left the mall.

　The sight of a minor around fifteen years old carrying a large pile of things made people outside the mall look back frequently, after all, this scene was rare.

　Lin Xuan certainly noticed the undisguised gazes from all around him. He saw strands of pitch-black energy emanating from his body, entwining around him. As the pitch-black energy appeared, the people around him seemed to be oblivious to him, their gazes no longer focused on him, but continued with their own business.

　Those wisps of pitch-black energy were nothing but the power of destruction. It was also those wisps of the power of destruction that caused those people's attention to no longer be focused on him. Those wisps of the power of destruction were doing nothing but destroying the sense of presence that was constantly emanating from his body.

　The feeling you get when you notice something valuable is being influenced by you is called presence. Destroying a sense of presence—it's hard to believe, but Lin Xuan has managed to do it. This is a technique he's mastered through chance encounters over the past few months. It's incredibly practical, and it doesn't permanently destroy a sense of presence. It simply destroys the sense of presence that constantly emanates from his body, temporarily creating the illusion of a low presence, or even no presence at all, so that others don't notice him and subconsciously ignore him. Once he stops using the power of destruction to destroy a sense of presence, the constant presence gushing from his body will draw attention back.

　When those people's eyes were no longer on him, Lin Xuan used his bracelet to collect the pile of things in his hand. After doing all this, Lin Xuan walked to a small corner where no one was around.

　"It's time to go to [Ruoye's House] now. To be honest, I haven't been there for a long time." As he spoke, a purple magic circle unfolded under Lin Xuan's feet, and then the space where Lin Xuan was located began to fluctuate.

　"I wonder if they still don't remember me." As soon as he finished speaking, Lin Xuan was teleported away along with the magic circle. When he reappeared, he was already in a deserted alley not far from [Ruoye's House]. After exiting the alley, Lin Xuan saw the familiar gate of [Ruoye's House].

　When he reached the gate, Lin Xuan took out the gift from the bracelet he had bought. Only then did he disperse the destructive force that was destroying his sense of existence around him. As the destructive force dissipated, Lin Xuan's sense of existence once again spread outward, proclaiming his presence.

　Looking at the gate that had not changed in the past few years, Lin Xuan's blue eyes were filled with memories. Although the time he spent here was not very long, it was one of the few places in the world where he could let go of his burdens.

　Perhaps it was because he arrived here that Lin Xuan let go of the burden in his heart, relaxed his body, and focused on the door, so he did not notice a figure walking towards him in the depths.

　"Excuse me, who are you?"

　The sudden voice behind him made Lin Xuan stunned for a moment. When he turned around, he saw a familiar figure.

　"Long time no see, Dean."
