Boma City, Ruyi District
The greatest barrier for martial artists breaking through their limits was resources and injuries.
Even the strongest individuals couldn't ensure that accidents wouldn't happen during sparring, just like Xu Xienan had never anticipated that his battle with Xu Chengyuan would leave him so severely injured.
As a martial artist who wielded his sword with his right hand, a severe injury involving the dissolution of his right shoulder's muscles and bones, if not treated in time, would mean saying farewell to the path of the sword forever.
But the medicinal elixirs capable of regenerating flesh and bones were rare everywhere, and though Xu Xienan was from a sacred background, being young and of shallow cultivation, he lacked sufficient accumulation.
Thus, to treat his injury, he could only sell his sword!
