章 480: Practical lesson [3]

"Here you go, you are all patched up now." 

Raising my hand which was now bandaged, I thanked the nurse. 

"Thank you." 

Thankfully I was able to coat my hand with some mana, otherwise, the extent of my injury would've been worse. 

'...If only I was an orc.' I thought.

Unfortunately, because all of my mana was focused on my sword and feet, and given that everything happened in split second, by the time I touched the sword, my bare hand came into contact with the sword, hence the injury. 

Had my skin been as tough as that of an orc, I may have been able to come off unscathed. Sadly it wasn't. 

Unlike orcs, a human's body was not as though. Although it does become stronger with each rank, a real difference would only appear if someone practiced a body-based art, which was something I didn't have. 

An example of this would be Han Yufei's art. An art that specialized in hardening the body, and making it tougher.
