The members of the Super Soldier Squad looked at him, and Ge Xiaolun poured a glass of water and handed it to him: "You probably haven't had a sip of water on the way here, so drink some water first."
Zhao Xin took the cup, drank it, put it down, and continued, "After Morgana teleported me away, I arrived at a small county town called Tancheng, where a grandmother and grandson lived together."
“They were very hospitable and invited me to their home for dinner and to stay, but…” Zhao Xin’s eyes reddened as he said this.
"And then?" Rose asked.
"Then, then they died because of the arrival of a Taotie fleet. The little girl was blown up. Although I avenged her in the end, my grandmother was determined to die and followed her."
After saying that, Zhao Xin let out a heavy sigh, took out the polished, gleaming gold medal from the spatial wormhole, and placed it on the table. It was the first-class martyr medal that Xiao Nannan's father had.
"This is a first-class martyr's medal? This is that little girl's..." Rose recognized the medal and spoke with a slight hesitation.
“That’s right, it’s the little girl’s father. I promised her I would protect the Earth, so I followed the army to support other counties until I came back to join you now,” Zhao Xin said.
As everyone listened to Zhao Xin's explanation, they understood why he had become like this: he had acted on a promise, demonstrating the unity of knowledge and action.
As they listened to the story, they immediately felt a heavy weight in their hearts, a feeling that came from the psychological suggestion of a sense of responsibility.
"If it weren't for the Taoist priest's intervention, the Taotie wouldn't have retreated, and such incidents would likely have happened many more times!" Ge Xiaolun remarked.
Because of Li Dao's presence, the Taotie dared not overstep their bounds and invade, as if a stabilizing force was anchoring the overall situation.
Otherwise, even more people would die!
"Indeed, I have seen a scene of mountains of corpses and seas of blood in a small county town. Three mutated demons killed nearly a thousand people, eating flesh and blood raw, and completely lost their humanity."
"Moreover, if Li Dao hadn't intervened, I would have already been kidnapped by Morgana, and you wouldn't be here with me."
Rose nodded at everyone.
That experience was extremely dangerous. If Li Dao hadn't appeared, she would definitely have been knocked unconscious and taken away by Morgana.
She felt that being taken away by a demon wouldn't end well, so in addition to gratitude, she also felt a bit of goodwill towards Li Dao.
"Now that we've reunited, what are your plans for the future? Or do you have any specific plans?" Zhao Xin asked, looking at the group.
“I plan to go to North Star, which is the capital. Li Dao is in charge here and doesn’t need us. Besides, Chief Lianfeng is currently in North Star,” Rose said.
“Indeed, the Daoist is very powerful. We are of no use here. We would be better off going to the capital, where we are needed more,” Cheng Yaowen agreed.
Everyone nodded in agreement.
"Since everyone agrees, let's rest for a few days and then head to North Star!"
Chapter 159 Reincarnation! (It's almost the end of the month, please give me some monthly votes!)
While the members of the Super Soldier Squad were discussing their next steps at the villa, Li Dao, who was leisurely reclining in a grand chair at the Longyun Taoist Temple, had already entered a fantasy world.
The fantasy world environment still resembles a Taoist temple, but it is the same as before the renovation and expansion. Li Daoli stands in the courtyard, his eyes, as dark as an abyss yet as bright as stars, looking at the familiar surroundings.
"Let's try the Ninety-Nine Lifetimes of Tragic Reincarnation Technique first. This is a fantasy world, so mental breakdown should be recoverable, and it can also help to identify and improve this supernatural power."
After saying this, Li Dao sat cross-legged on the spot, formed a strange and profound hand seal, and gently touched it to his brow.
The next moment, Li Dao felt that everything was pitch black, and there was no light at all. Just as he was wondering what was going on, a faint light suddenly appeared in front of him.
The light was very faint, like the glow of a firefly drifting in the night, but Li Dao's consciousness was inexplicably drawn to it.
It was as if something was attracting him.
Just as Li Dao approached that faint light, the darkness around him suddenly brightened, becoming as bright as day, and instantly transformed into a familiar scene.
There was a commotion all around, and the sound of keyboards being typed.
“Where is this…” Li Dao was taken aback. He looked down and realized that he had changed his Taoist robe into the suit he wore to work in his previous life. He then looked around and saw his colleagues sitting at their posts.
"The company?!" As Li Dao finished speaking, a familiar female voice suddenly came from beside him: "Li Dao, what are you daydreaming about? Is the plan finished?"
Upon hearing this, Li Dao looked to the side and saw a beautiful woman standing there. She was his boss and a female devil.
Shangguan Simeng is the company's most notorious shrew, who specializes in exploiting the company's senior employees and occasionally loses her temper with people, acting like a pampered young lady.
She is indeed a wealthy heiress who came down to the family company for experience.
Li Dao shook his head and replied, "Not yet, it will probably be finished tomorrow. I have something to do today, so I'll take the day off."
Shangguan Simeng was taken aback. This was the first time she had heard that this man, who had clocked in and out of work every day since he started working, would actually take a day off.
“Okay, but the plan must be finished by tomorrow.” Shangguan Simeng lowered her eyes and carefully examined Li Dao’s profile. She noticed that he seemed to have changed, but she didn’t know where the change came from.
However, she didn't think too much about it and nodded in agreement to take the leave.
When Li Dao asked for leave, his colleagues all looked surprised, as if they had heard some earth-shattering secret.
It's worth noting that Li Dao is known throughout the company for working 996 (9am-9pm, 6 days a week). Even when he has a cold or fever, he works tirelessly, rain or shine, projecting the image of a workaholic.
Li Dao stood up, his height just level with Shangguan Simeng, who was wearing high heels. He glanced at his female boss, then at his colleagues' expressions of disbelief, smiled, and turned to leave.
In his past life, he was indeed a workaholic, and it was because of his mortgage and car loan that he died young and transmigrated to the world of Super God Academy.
"Is this an illusion or have I really returned to Earth?" Li Dao wondered as he left the office building in the elevator, feeling his body completely devoid of energy.
But soon, he put these things out of his mind: "Although I don't know if it's a dream or reality, now that I'm back, I want to cherish this hard-won opportunity and make up for what I did for my parents."
With these thoughts in mind, Li Dao drove away from the company and returned to the two-bedroom, one-living-room house he had bought with a loan in his previous life half an hour later.
The house has all the necessary appliances and furniture.
"The Ninety-Nine Lifetimes of Tragic Reincarnation Technique: I will experience ninety-nine lifetimes of suffering. This is only the first lifetime; there are still ninety-eight lifetimes to come."
"Let's try to see if we can cultivate first. I'm always a little uneasy about taking out a loan to buy a house. If we can cultivate, I'll check the criminal code to see if there are any ways to make quick money."
After saying that, Li Dao returned to his room, sat cross-legged on the bed, and slowly practiced according to the rhythm of the Starry Breathing Technique, but he soon found that it was not very effective.
Unable to enter a state of starlight, or even to draw in external energy to improve physical fitness.
"Can't I cultivate?" Li Dao murmured, then switched to natural breathing, which had some effect, but this was a big city with high air pollution, and he almost choked.
"I can only try some ancient martial arts techniques. After all, cultivation methods that rely on external energy are useful to me now, but the external energy is too scarce."
"And unlike the world of Super Gods, there are no angel investors. It takes a very long time to successfully cultivate! We simply can't afford to waste time."
Li Dao pondered for a moment, then immediately got out of bed and went to the living room. He began to practice a set of boxing techniques, the most powerful and fierce of all internal martial arts: Xingyi Quan!
Li Dao's memories and experiences did not disappear due to reincarnation, so with his rich experience in boxing, he quickly became familiar with and mastered the art, controlling it at will.
"This humble Taoist priest, cough cough, I should be considered an ancient martial arts master venturing into the city, right?" As Li Dao practiced, this wicked thought sprouted in his mind.
In the world of Super Gods, his boxing skills had already surpassed the level of a grandmaster, creating a new realm of boxing skills, and he had even comprehended the essence of boxing.
It can be said that any martial arts master facing him is like a martial arts novice facing a master who has been immersed in martial arts for many years; his moves are full of flaws and he is easily defeated.
"However, in this way, the so-called reincarnation experience to improve my state of mind and Dao heart is basically useless to me. It has no training effect at all. It is just a big shot playing house in the mortal world, unless the memory is sealed."
Li Dao supplemented and summarized the shortcomings of the supernatural power, but he did not voluntarily end this supernatural power. Since he was already here, he was definitely going to experience the experience of the protagonist in his previous life novel!
A peerless martial arts master ventures into the city, surrounded by beautiful women, though these are all part of his perverse interests.
After experiencing the near-perfect genetic physiques of the blonde angels in the Super God Academy, he had no interest in ordinary beauties, no matter how beautiful they were.
After all, could someone be prettier than a blonde or silver-haired angel?
"Phew! My physical condition is too poor right now. Even if I have experience that surpasses that of a martial arts master, it's useless if my physical condition can't keep up."
"It seems that everything starts from scratch. I still need to practice standing meditation to improve my weak physical condition. When I add medicinal diet and bath, it should be much faster."
Li Daogang had only performed half a set of Xingyi Quan when he immediately felt incredibly tired, as if he had overexerted himself. He was panting heavily and exhausted both physically and mentally.
But Li Dao has no habit of giving up halfway, so he finished a set of Xingyi Quan without changing his expression. At this moment, his forehead was covered with beads of sweat and his limbs were trembling slightly.
Clearly, one set of Xingyi Quan was already the limit of this frail body.
"What a weak body." Li Dao sighed inwardly. He didn't know how useless his body was until he started practicing martial arts.
That's true. After all, we're either at work or on our way to work every day, so where do we find the time to exercise? It's already pretty good if we can barely finish a standard Xingyi Quan routine.
"Ring ring!" Just then, the phone lying next to him suddenly rang. Li Dao glanced at the lit screen, which read "Mom".
He immediately picked up the phone and answered. In the past twenty years, he hadn't heard his mother's voice for a very, very long time.
However, as soon as the call connected, her mother's voice did come through, but it was choked with sobs and grief: "Dao'er, your brother, your brother was stabbed to death outside the university, sob sob, when are you coming back~"
Li Dao's face darkened. Had his tragic experience come so quickly? And it started with his own family.
Chapter 160 is finished! (It's almost the end of the month, please give me some monthly votes!)
"I'm going back now!" Li Dao's voice was deep, like a tiger's growl before it gets angry, and his eyes were as fierce as an eagle's. He quickly booked a high-speed rail ticket back to his hometown.
After booking the tickets, Li Dao directly massaged the acupoints on his limbs with his fingers to help invigorate blood and qi, relax muscles and tendons, and quickly restore his tired limbs.
Once his limbs stopped trembling, he slowly stood up, stretched his body, and loosened his muscles and bones to make himself feel more comfortable.
Bang! Li Dao put on his shoes and left the house. He hailed a taxi on the street, told the driver his address, and the taxi drove away.
It took about half an hour for the taxi to arrive at the high-speed rail station. Li Dao paid the fare, got out of the car, and walked into the high-speed rail station.
It was afternoon, and he had a high-speed train ticket that left in an hour. He wasn't in a hurry, so he just found a seat and sat down.
Although this is an illusion created by the Reincarnation Technique, everything here is extremely realistic, just like a real world. Even passersby show obvious changes in their expressions.
"The Butterfly Dream of Zhuang Zhou or Zhuang Zhou Dreaming of a Butterfly, the real and the illusory, this supernatural power is very complete, but if it is to develop in a tragic direction, it is really too simplistic."
"Perhaps after I finish this cycle of reincarnation, I can further refine the reincarnation technique, allowing those who receive this supernatural power to go through reincarnation, ultimately until their spirituality is extinguished."
Li Dao calmed down and soon gained a new understanding of the Reincarnation Technique. This supernatural power was originally used to fight enemies, so naturally, he deduced it in the direction of killing enemies.
Of course, if it's for one's own people to use, then further deductions can be made. After all, this supernatural power was created through deduction, and its functionality can be gradually improved.
At that time, even if it is used to deal with that old cunning Karl, it can immerse him in its own reincarnation technique, causing him to be forever trapped and unable to escape!
An hour passed quickly. Li Dao boarded the high-speed train home and spent several hours getting home before it got dark. He then took a taxi along the road to the village entrance.
This village is called Li Family Village. Because the ancestors were all brothers and sisters, and the area was backward and impoverished, few outsiders settled here. Therefore, the entire village consists of Li Dao's relatives.
The journey was quiet. Li Dao used his fist techniques to travel faster than the average person, but it took a lot of effort. He soon entered the village.
At this moment, a family in the village was hanging white silk and displaying a large wreath. Cries of wailing and grief could be heard from the house. Relatives outside were all wearing white silk on their heads and dressed in white linen.
Li Dao was deeply moved, because the loudest cry came from his mother. His eyes instantly darkened as he strode into the house.
Then, he saw the two elders kneeling on the ground, weeping and grieving. He looked at his younger brother, who was lying quietly in the coffin with a pale face.
"Although I have tempered my heart with iron and have a firm will, I still cannot sit idly by when I see my family in this state. Besides, I am not made of metal or stone, how could I be heartless and ungrateful?!" Li Daoping calmed the turmoil in his heart.
