Blood immediately gushed from the wound.

Luo Chen didn't feel any pain. He took a tissue, wiped away the blood, and carefully observed the wound.

What happened next was both surprising to Luo Chen, yet also expected.

The wound on his left index finger began to heal at a speed visible to the naked eye, as if some unknown power in his body was transmitting to his finger. The wound first stopped bleeding on its own, then slowly came together, and finally was as good as new, without even a trace. The whole process took less than half an hour.

It was expected because Luo Chen guessed that his wound would heal in an extreme amount of time, but it was surprising because it was the first time he had seen his body exhibit this function with his own eyes.

In the past, although wounds healed quickly, it was only faster compared to ordinary people. If you didn't pay attention, it was hard to notice.

However, the healing speed this time was clearly beyond the scope of a normal person.

Could it be that I've finally mastered it?

Luo Chen remembered that the old man said the mental method he taught had several realms.

One of the realms had this effect, where the cultivator's body functions would be infinitely enhanced, and as long as the wound wasn't fatal, all wounds would heal rapidly.

Rapid healing, Luo Chen thought this must be it.

As for the highest realm of the mental method taught by the old man, it was called the 'Sword Heart Transparency' realm, but Luo Chen did not know what it specifically entailed. However, he knew it was definitely related to a sword.

That's why the old man would often ask him if he had felt a sword within his body.

If I did feel it, it would be ghostly—having a sword inside would stab me to death!

Luo Chen couldn't help but mock every time he thought about it.

The old man's talk of nurturing a sword inside, manifesting a sword outside, controlling the sword with the mind, sword heart transparency—it all sounded plausible.

But now it's the twenty-first century, and Luo Chen still believed that science was the primary productive force. These things that sounded so mysterious, Luo Chen didn't really believe in his heart.

However, the changes in his body this time did intrigue Luo Chen.

After all, this was more acceptable than something like 'Sword Heart Transparency'.

So, does that mean any wound can heal at this speed?

Luo Chen placed a small knife on his palm, steeled his heart, and decided to sacrifice a little of himself for the sake of exploring the truth.

He forcefully cut a wound in his palm, deep enough to reach the bone.

...

The next morning.

Mu Binglan looked at Luo Chen's left hand, wrapped in thick gauze, and asked in surprise what had happened.

Luo Chen's expression was quite ugly, unsure how to explain.

Mu Binglan guessed it first instead.

"You didn't think your body was special and that all wounds could heal quickly, so you cut yourself, did you?"

Luo Chen reached out and touched his neck, somewhat embarrassedly admitting it.

"Oh my god, are you stupid?"

Mu Binglan couldn't believe it and was a bit speechless. She took Luo Chen's left hand, looked at the thick gauze, trying to imagine the ghastly wound underneath, and asked with great concern.

"How is it? Does it hurt?"

"It doesn't hurt. Oh, it's nothing, honey, don't worry."

Seeing the concern in Mu Binglan's eyes, Luo Chen felt a bit embarrassed. After all, he was the one who acted recklessly first, yet he had Mu Binglan worrying with him.

At this point, Aunt Fang had set up breakfast.

The two sat at the table.

"How is it, can you hold the bowl properly?"

Luo Chen tried and found it inconvenient, so he put the bowl on the table, burying his face in it to eat.

Mu Binglan watched awkwardly, came beside Luo Chen.

"Here, let me feed you."

"That's not necessary."

Luo Chen was rather embarrassed.

"Hurry up, I still have to go to headquarters later."

Seeing Mu Binglan's firm attitude, Luo Chen didn't refuse any longer, letting her feed him.

After a sweet breakfast, Mu Binglan changed into an OL outfit, ready to leave.

"I've already told someone to take your car in for repairs, so today you can take my car to headquarters. Anyway, your company isn't far from headquarters."
