Though my meridians haven't shattered, the pain is no less than having them torn apart, Huang Xiao thought.
Huang Xiao had, of course, experienced the pain of having all his meridians severed firsthand. But now he had to endure such pain, and for even longer.
With pain like this, even two hours would be unbearable! Huang Xiao howled inwardly.
* Twelve hours. Even Chao Jue could endure twelve hours. Can't I? No, it hurts too much. There's no way I can last twelve hours. Is it because I haven't practiced the Demon Refining Formula?* This thought surfaced in Huang Xiao's mind.
Huang Xiao did not believe anyone could endure such pain for so long. The only explanation was the Demon Refining Formula.
Recalling what Wei Yidao had said back then, he truly could not last long without having practiced the Demon Refining Formula.
Hold on! Huang Xiao kept shouting inwardly. He only hoped he could hold on a little longer.
If he went out after lasting too short a time, anyone would know he had yet to practice the Demon Refining Formula. He would probably have trouble explaining himself then. Trouble explaining himself might not be so bad; what he feared was being forced to learn the Demon Refining Formula. That would be disastrous.
Previously, Huang Xiao had been clinging to a little hope of getting lucky, thinking that it would be fine if he lasted a little less time. But he had never expected it to be this short. He probably could not even last two hours. This was simply too far off the mark, impossible to account for.
With a boom, Huang Xiao felt the demonic qi surge along his meridians and rush into his dantian. The vast mass of demonic qi instantly filled his entire dantian.
