Chapter 95: Hello, My Name is Lone Star (Part 2)

Time flew by, and over a month had passed since Lin Xing woke up.

Through Lin Xing's unremitting efforts, his injuries had improved significantly over the course of a month! His Zhen Qi had also gradually recovered to about ten percent of its original level. Although it was only ten percent, it was a considerable improvement compared to the faint, wispy Zhen Qi he had when he first awoke!

Not only had his Zhen Qi recovered, but most of his physical injuries had also healed. After all, with the freakishly powerful restorative ability of the Nine Yang Zhen Qi, it would be difficult not to recover.

However, what puzzled Lin Xing was that, in theory, since his physical injuries had mostly healed, his Zhen Qi should have been recovering at the fastest possible rate. Yet, the strangest thing now was that the recovery of his Zhen Qi was painfully slow.

Could it be because the damage to his meridians was too severe? Lin Xing once again examined his previously shattered meridians. The sudden eruption of that cataclysmic power had far exceeded the limits his body could withstand!

That immense power had surged out continuously, and the violent Zhen Qi had inflicted maximum damage on his meridians. Although it was repairing them simultaneously, the rate of repair was far slower than the rate of destruction.

The violent Zhen Qi rampaged unchecked through his body, laying waste to everything. Relatively speaking, Lin Xing's current body was still too weak to fully withstand such immense power!

Thus, once that powerful force subsided, Lin Xing's body ended up as full of holes as a sieve. This experience taught him to deeply recognize his own shortcomings. Facing the combined assault of two Sword Saints, he hadn't stood a chance!

"I am still too weak, and I overestimated myself," Lin Xing thought with a bitter laugh. Moreover, his physical body was also very weak. Lin Xing finally realized that he was just a low-tier Saint. Currently, he was at the very bottom among Saint Levels, and the strength of his body wasn't even a match for Akas's!

It was extremely ironic that Lin Xing had been brimming with confidence before, thinking that with his current strength, he could swagger across the Kasla Continent.

Now, Lin Xing was alone in the backyard of Caroline's estate.

As he enjoyed this moment of peace, Lin Xing couldn't help but think of the beautiful Caroline. For some reason, he now really wanted to see her often. He greatly enjoyed the feeling of being with her. Whenever he was with Caroline, Lin Xing couldn't help but feel his heart flutter. It was warm, peaceful, and happy. He found himself captivated by her every smile and frown. As for all this, Lin Xing still had no idea what was going on.

After over a month of interaction, Lin Xing had basically learned everything about this place. This was a duchy called Elba Duchy. Elba was a medium-sized duchy, middling among duchies in both military and economic terms. The family that controlled the economic fate of Elba Duchy was Caroline's family—the Albert family!

Caroline was the biological daughter of the current head of the Albert family. This estate was Albert family property. This time, Caroline and Xiao Cui had come here on a trip by themselves; their parents had not accompanied them. Therefore, Lin Xing hadn't met any other members of their family.

Just as he was lost in thought, the sound of conversation suddenly came from outside, and then two figures walked in.

"Brother Gu Xing!" Caroline cried out happily, quickly walking over to Lin Xing's side.

"Sister Caroline," Lin Xing said with a smile. Over the past month, they had become very familiar, and the way they addressed each other had changed from the initial "Young Master" and "Young Lady" to "Brother" and "Sister." However, this was exactly the outcome Lin Xing had hoped for.

"Xiao Cui," Lin Xing greeted Xiao Cui with a grin.

"Hmph!" Xiao Cui snorted with great dissatisfaction, glared fiercely at Lin Xing, and then looked away. At the same time, she grumbled under her breath, "That smile is really annoying!"

"Uh..." Lin Xing was speechless and couldn't help but glance awkwardly at Caroline. He just couldn't figure out why this little girl had such a big problem with him?

Seeing Lin Xing's embarrassed look, Caroline couldn't help but grin, leaving Lin Xing staring dumbly.

Noticing Lin Xing's dazed gaze, Caroline blushed with embarrassment and quickly scolded Xiao Cui. "Xiao Cui, don't be rude to Brother Lin Xing."

"'Brother Lin Xing,' called so affectionately," Xiao Cui muttered in a low voice. But who were the people present? Even a whisper would be audible to them.

Lin Xing and Caroline exchanged a glance, both feeling awkward. For a moment, the atmosphere was filled with awkwardness.

After a long while, Caroline finally couldn't stand it and broke the awkward silence. "Brother Lin Xing, how is your injury?" Her tone carried a hint of anxiety and was full of concern.

Hearing this question, Lin Xing couldn't help but shake his head and smile wryly. "Although it's getting better day by day, the recovery speed is extremely slow."

Seeing Lin Xing like this, Caroline felt a pang of sadness and comforted him, "Brother Lin Xing, I believe you will recover very soon."

Lin Xing was touched. Although these were just ordinary words, coming from Caroline's mouth, the effect was different.

Then, Lin Xing smiled and said, "Don't worry about that. With my recovery ability, I believe I'll be completely healed before long."

"Brother Lin Xing, I'm sorry!" Caroline suddenly said.

Lin Xing was stunned, not understanding why Caroline would suddenly say that. "Sister Caroline, what is this?"

"Brother Lin Xing, I'm sorry. I can't help you. I can't do anything about your injury..." Caroline said with a hint of guilt.

"Silly girl, don't say that. You saved me and brought me home, helped treat my external injuries, and have taken care of me for so long. You've helped me a great deal. If it weren't for you, I probably would have died long ago," Lin Xing quickly comforted her. "You saved my life. How can you say you haven't helped me?"

"But... your injury..." Caroline still said worriedly.

"Don't worry. With my constitution, I'll be fine soon. Before, I couldn't even move. Now, it's just that my power hasn't recovered yet. My body is already fine," Lin Xing said, even getting up and taking a few steps to demonstrate his physical health.

Seeing Lin Xing's silly act, Caroline couldn't help but giggle.
