Chapter 1 Li Hanxue
It was June, and the sun was blazing in the sky. In the Li Mansion in Haoyue City, Luoya Empire, Xingyun Continent.
The boy was shirtless, sweating profusely, and punching at the trunk of a huge tree. Every punch left a shocking blood mark on the trunk.
The boy frowned, as if he could not feel the pain in his body, punching one after another, as if he would never get tired.
"Why is it still not working! Am I really unable to practice martial arts for the rest of my life?" The boy's eyes were firm, but this firmness could not hide the pain and helplessness on his face.
"Enough, Hanxue, don't embarrass yourself anymore!"
Li Qi frowned, and seeing his son in such pain, he felt very uncomfortable, and a deep pity appeared on his majestic face.
Li Hanxue had an amazing understanding of martial arts since he was a child, and he learned it without a teacher. Two years ago, the twelve-year-old Li Hanxue participated in the 23rd entrance examination of Canglan Academy, the highest institution of learning in Feihuo Province. He was admitted to Canglan Academy with the first place in the martial arts test and was called the most talented demon in the history of Canglan Academy.
After entering Canglan Academy, Li Hanxue's practice was even more rapid. In just one year, he made continuous breakthroughs, advancing from the ninth level of Duanwu Realm to the fifth level of Ruowu Realm. He condensed the true qi of martial arts in his body and became the youngest Ruowu practitioner in the history of the Li family.
Li Qi had already planned that as long as Li Hanxue broke through to the Xuanwu Realm, he would directly announce Li Hanxue as the next heir of the Li family in the clan.
However, things did not go as planned. A year ago, Li Hanxue suddenly dropped out of Canglan Academy. After returning to the clan, his cultivation level dropped sharply, directly from the first level of Ruowu Realm to the first level of Duanwu Realm.
His status in the family also plummeted. From a genius boy admired by thousands of people before, he fell into a useless person who was ridiculed by all the clan members.
"Dad, you're here."
Li Hanxue saw Li Qi coming and hurriedly put on his clothes. Looking at his father from afar, his father's loving eyes with regret deeply hurt his heart. Li Hanxue knew that Li Qi had always had great expectations for him, hoping that he would take over the position of patriarch in the future and carry forward the Li family.
But because his martial veins suddenly dried up a year ago and he could not practice, all these hopes were shattered and became illusions.
For the warriors of the Nebula Continent, martial veins are the foundation of practice. Without martial veins, practice is impossible.
There are nine martial veins in everyone's body, namely Duanwu vein, Ruowu vein, Xuanwu vein, Mingwu vein, Huangwu vein, Guiwu vein, Longwu vein, Tianwu vein, and Huangwu vein. Warriors absorb the vitality of heaven and earth to open up their own martial veins. Every time a martial vein is opened, the potential of the body can be developed and promoted to the corresponding martial arts realm. Those with a high martial arts realm have the powerful power to destroy mountains and rivers with a single move.
Li Qi's thick hands touched Li Hanxue's hair, and said in a heavy tone: "Hanxue, Daddy doesn't want to see you torture yourself like this anymore. The martial veins in your body have been confirmed to be exhausted, and you can't practice martial arts. No matter how you insist, you can't go against the will of heaven. Don't torture yourself anymore. Seeing you depressed every day, your father is also very sad. Hanxue, give up martial arts."
Li Hanxue clenched his fists tightly, and blood flowed from his hands, but the pain was far less than one ten-thousandth of the depression in his heart. He was unwilling to accept his fate and unwilling to be unable to practice martial arts for a lifetime.
Martial veins are the foundation of martial artists. The exhaustion of martial veins sentenced martial artists to death, and they were destined to be unable to practice martial arts for a lifetime.
Li Hanxue also understood this truth in his heart, but he was born with a rebellious intention in his bones, and he just didn't want to accept his fate.
Li Qi said again: "Hanxue, people don't only have the path of martial arts to follow. Since you can't practice martial arts anymore, follow the housekeeper Zhao to learn business and take care of family affairs in the future."
"No, Daddy, please let me try for another year!"
Looking at Li Hanxue's stubborn eyes, Li Qi pondered for a long time, did not speak, just sighed deeply, and then turned and left.
Looking at his father's back, Li Hanxue was worried and felt a lot of things in his heart. Since learning that Li Hanxue's martial veins were exhausted, Li Qi spent most of the family's savings and kept sending people to find genius treasures, hoping to make up for the deficiency of martial veins through food supplements, but this was ultimately in vain. The exhaustion of martial veins is a terminal illness for martial artists, and it is almost impossible to cure it.
In the past year, Li Qi ignored the opposition of the clan members and spent all his family's wealth to treat Li Hanxue, but not only did it not work, but it also caused complaints from the clan members. Although the clan members would not gossip in front of Li Qi, they all regarded Li Hanxue as a cancer of the Li family behind his back.
Li Hanxue left the compound and walked slowly to the back mountain of the Li family, Xuanding Mountain.
The top of Xuanding Mountain is lush with trees, the air is fresh, and there are few people. On weekdays, Li Hanxue likes to come here to relax and breathe when she has something bothering her.
Li Hanxue lay on a piece of grass, with her hands on her head, looking at the clouds in the sky, and a cute little face appeared in front of her.
The exhaustion of Li Hanxue's martial veins was not a sudden situation, but there was a reason, and that was because of a woman.
The woman's name is Su Xiaoya. She is a student of the same class as Li Hanxue. She is beautiful and charming, like a charming elf, which makes people pity her. After entering Canglan College, Li Hanxue met Su Xiaoya. After a month of getting along, Su Xiaoya developed a strong sense of dependence on him. Since then, Su Xiaoya has been with Li Hanxue.
Li Hanxue gradually developed an indescribable feeling for Su Xiaoya and took care of her like a sister.
One day, Su Xiaoya went to Xuanming Mountain to carry out the task of hunting mid-level Xuan beasts. She accidentally fell into the Xuan beast's nest and was besieged by dozens of mid-level Xuan beasts.
When Li Hanxue arrived, Su Xiaoya was seriously injured and dying. After Li Hanxue rescued Su Xiaoya, he found that the martial vein in her body had been shattered. The martial vein in Su Xiaoya's body is a fire attribute martial vein. If you want to save her, you must extract the fire attribute martial vein from a living person and then inject it into her body.
However, Xuanming Mountain is sparsely populated. It takes at least two hours to rush back to Canglan Academy from Xuanming Mountain for help. Moreover, fire-attributed martial veins are extremely rare, and you may not find one in ten thousand people. Even if you find one, it is impossible for someone to be stupid enough to donate it.
Li Hanxue was unwilling to watch Su Xiaoya die, so she gritted her teeth and extracted the Kongkong martial vein in her body and injected it into Su Xiaoya's body, saving Su Xiaoya's life.
There are many attributes in the body of a warrior, including gold, wood, water, fire, earth, wind, thunder, light, darkness and other attributes. Each attribute martial vein is extremely precious, because the owner of an attribute martial vein will show unique talents when practicing martial arts in the corresponding field, which is dozens of times faster than ordinary people.
Replacing martial veins is similar to the current human blood transfusion. Human blood transfusion can only be replaced if the blood type matches. And warriors can only replace martial veins if the martial veins match, and Kongkong martial veins are universal martial veins, matching martial veins of any attributes, and can be implanted in anyone's body.
This kind of martial vein is therefore called the martial vein of heaven. In history, everyone who possesses this kind of martial vein can become a top-notch warrior and dominate the world as long as nothing unexpected happens.
Li Hanxue's Kongkong martial vein is the strongest martial vein that everyone in the Nebula Continent dreams of. However, he gave it to Su Xiaoya, which made him a waste and suffered the cold eyes of his family members, but he never regretted his decision.
"It's been a year. I don't know how she is now."
Unconsciously, the sky has darkened. Li Hanxue stood up and was about to go down the mountain, but he heard a woman's panting and a man's heavy breathing from the quiet forest. Li Hanxue's face suddenly showed a strange color. Although he was only fourteen years old, he also understood what was happening in the forest.
"Brother Rui, stop quickly, I see someone."
The man said impatiently: "Who is it that comes here at this time?"
"It seems to be someone from our Li family."
