Chapter 895 — Unwilling to Accept It! The energy, though swiftly drawn into Wei Zhao's body, could not remain within him! It entered through the pores on one side and left through the pores on the other, merely making a circuit through his body before returning to the jade pendant space!

Now, hearing Elder Jiao's words, Wei Zhao discovered that the meridians of his body had indeed been blasted to pieces by his own energy bomb.
"That can't be right!" Suddenly Wei Zhao raised his head in puzzlement and looked at Elder Jiao. "When I fought Uncle Zhu before, my injuries were severe too, and many of my meridians were severed. Not all of them were broken, but I could still use my energy to repair them, couldn't I?"
"Exactly—as you said yourself, not all of them were broken. But your situation now is that they are all broken!" Jiao Yazi shook his head. "Can partial severing and total severing be the same? So long as some remain unbroken, you can still circulate the Xuanyuan Dragon-Taming Art and rely on those intact meridians to convert energy and repair the damaged ones. But now that your meridians are all severed, how are you going to repair them?"
"This..." Wei Zhao was rendered speechless. Jiao Yazi's words were indeed correct. His situation was like a row of dominoes: knock one down, and the whole chain falls; but if not a single one is knocked down, then none of the tiles will fall! That is to say, if one of his meridians were repaired, he could slowly circulate the Xuanyuan Dragon-Taming Art to repair the others; but now that he could not repair even one, the others could not possibly be restored either!
"Your mistake lay in using that energy bomb. You used up every last drop of energy in your body. If some had remained, even a third of it left inside you, you could have repaired one damaged meridian..." Jiao Yazi shook his head. "But you did not save even a trace of energy. There is nothing I can do either..."
"Ah?" Wei Zhao did not know what to say. If even Jiao Yazi had no way, if he said there was nothing he could do, then there truly was nothing to be done! He had preserved his life, yet lost his strength—was that a blessing or a curse?
Wei Zhao was unwilling to accept it. To fall in one stroke from the peak of the early Xuan rank to having no strength at all—such a drop left Wei Zhao utterly desolate!
Gritting his teeth, Wei Zhao once more silently circulated the Xuanyuan Dragon-Taming Art, and this time, once he began, he did not stop for hours! Wei Zhao let the energy shuttle through his body, yet paid it no heed and cultivated on and on...
Jiao Yazi watched Wei Zhao's resolute expression and shook his head, but he did not try to dissuade him either. He knew very well that anyone in his place would not give up so easily, so he let Wei Zhao experiment! Under such circumstances, unless Wei Zhao himself gave up, he would never let the matter rest.
One hour, two hours, three hours! Time slipped away second by second, and Wei Zhao was still cultivating without end. He was unwilling, he refused to believe that his strength was simply gone!
