"Having taken this step, nothing can shake my mind except for life and death."
This is true.
Tonight's step was the closest Li Dao had ever come to death. The feeling of death rushing towards him, the trembling of his entire being due to facing death, was indescribable.
The reason Li Dao did this was simply because he used to practice boxing step by step every day to overcome his fear of death.
War and death are the main themes of this world. If we cannot face death in advance, we will only increase the probability of death when we are in dire straits in the future.
"It's time to go back and meditate."
Li Dao's steps became lighter and steady. The transformation of his mind allowed him to achieve ultimate relaxation as he left the brink of death, and his spirit also showed signs of fatigue.
After all, he had just been walking a tightrope on the edge of death, his mind extremely tense. Now that he was off the tightrope, his tense mind relaxed, and he naturally showed signs of fatigue.
Gradually, Li Dao's figure disappeared into the night...
Chapter 14 The Visitor (Part 1)
Earth, the abode of angels.
Giant rocks, like islands, float on the water, their surfaces covered with lush green grass and fragrant flowers. The sky is azure, with drifting clouds and occasional patrols by angels, though few in number.
Angel Yan sat on a relatively smooth stone, with several angels standing in front of her, each with delicate and beautiful features and a tall and slender figure.
Among the angels, Angel Zhui and Angel Moyi were prominently featured, while the others were all members of Angel Yan's team.
They are all newborn angels who are no more than a thousand years old.
"Sister Yan."
"What's the situation at the Super God Academy? Do they want to negotiate with us?" Angel Yan asked.
"Sister Yan, Super God Academy hasn't responded to me yet. I suspect they're on guard against us." Angel Chase shook her head.
"It's normal for them to be wary of us. After all, Queen Keisha banished them once more than 10,000 years ago. Be prepared, they will contact us sooner or later."
Angel Yan sneered, "The Taotie will soon invade Earth. Without the help of angels, Earth's civilization will find it difficult to resist the invasion from a higher civilization."
"Yes……"
The angels nodded, flapped their wings, and left.
After the angels left, Angel Yan contacted the Holy Queen Keisha through the big data in the Sacred Knowledge Treasury: "Queen Keisha."
"What's wrong, Yan?" A calm, distant female voice suddenly rang out from the other end, gentle yet condescending.
"Queen Keisha, I recently discovered a strange divine river body on Earth. It does not have super genes, but it can rapidly enhance its physical strength."
“I have uploaded that person’s physical data to the Sacred Treasury of Knowledge, Queen Keisha. You can take a look; I have never seen anything like it before.”
As Angel Yan spoke, she thought of the young Taoist practicing his fist under the moonlight. Although his body was flushed red, it contained a mysterious energy.
According to the Chinese tradition, it should be a mysterious energy similar to Taoist Qi, but currently only young Taoists possess this energy.
"Well, I'll have Tianji Wang look into it then. Maybe she'll like it... How's it going with the Super God Academy?" Keisha asked calmly.
"There has been no response to us yet," Angel Yan replied truthfully.
"Okay, I understand. Keep an eye on Galaxy Force; he will be the future of angels..." Keisha instructed.
"I understand."
……
Super seminary.
On the spacious playground, a team is doing morning jogging training.
"Damn it, aren't we here to be superheroes? When will this training end? It's so grueling!" Zhao Xin complained incessantly.
Who would have thought that the once-powerful street bully would now be reduced to a member of the morning exercise routine?
Wasn't the plan to fight aliens?
I was all ready to go all out, and you dragged me to do morning exercises instead?
Damn, is it too late to quit now?
"Brother Xin, stop calling me that. It's tiring for everyone to hear. I thought with my superhuman strength, I'd at least have a beautiful woman by my side, but I ended up with nothing and a loser title." Ge Xiaolun said.
"Damn it, I'm a knight, and my ancestor was Zhao Zilong. I still have my flowing hair and my spear!" Zhao Xin said as he ran, brandishing his spear in the air.
"You two should talk less, or you'll run away!" Lena, who had been listening to the whole conversation, interjected.
"Sister Na, please stop talking, please let me go!" Zhao Xin quickly shut up upon hearing this.
Ge Xiaolun didn't say anything more and focused on running.
There are three more laps of 10,000-meter running exercises before the end.
Come on!
After quickly finishing the three laps, Ge Xiaolun walked panting heavily, feeling as if his legs were filled with lead.
"Everyone, take a break for a while, and we'll continue training later." Seeing that everyone looked dejected, Lena waved her hand, signaling them to disperse and rest.
Ge Xiaolun walked heavily, walked to a stone bench not far away and sat down. Looking at the roses wandering around in the distance, as if he had thought of something, he took out the folded talisman hanging around his neck.
This was a peace charm that a young Taoist priest sold to me years ago. I bought two; I wore one around my neck and gave the other to Rose. I don't know if Rose is still carrying it with her.
Ge Xiaolun looked at the amulet in his hand, his thoughts drifting away, forgetting even the soreness in his legs.
"What are you thinking about? You seem so engrossed." Zhao Xin handed Ge Xiaolun a bottle of water, sat down next to him, put his arm around Ge Xiaolun's shoulder, and asked.
Cheng Yaowen also sat down on the other side.
"No, it's nothing." Ge Xiaolun shook his head and put the amulet back around his neck.
"Xiao Lun, do you like roses?" Zhao Xin asked.
“If you like it, just say so. We won’t compete with you for the rose, but you won’t get Qilin Lena,” Cheng Yaowen joked.
"No...it's a little bit, a little bit." Ge Xiaolun originally wanted to say no, but after thinking about it, he admitted it. They were roommates, so what was there to be ashamed of?
They admitted it, and they decided to be less interested in Qiangwei in the future, since one shouldn't mess with a friend's wife.
“Hey, what’s so good about that cold, hard rose?” Zhao Xin said.
“Master Xin, Rose is here, so please stop talking. Be careful that the school people don’t notice us again. I’m a prince, and I don’t want my reputation to be ruined again,” Cheng Yaowen said.
Do you think we three are still wise?
Cheng Yaowen wanted to refute, but after thinking about it carefully, he realized that he really didn't have any brilliant ideas, so he could only helplessly say, "Okay, there really isn't any."
Just then, Rose arrived at Ge Xiaolun, her tall figure blocking the sunlight from his view. She glanced at the two gay men and asked, "Can we find a place to talk?"
"Uh, okay." Ge Xiaolun paused for a moment, then quickly nodded.
The two left, leaving Zhao Xin and Cheng Yaowen behind.
"What do you think they could talk about?" Zhao Xin asked curiously.
Cheng Yaowen shook his head: "I don't know. We'll ask Xiao Lun when he gets back."
Ge Xiaolun and Qiangwei walked side by side to a secluded spot, and after a moment of silence, Qiangwei finally asked, "Do you still remember the person who sold you the amulet?"
"I remember," Ge Xiaolun nodded.
"What did he say to you last?" Rose continued to ask.
Although she knew the content of their conversation from the initial camera footage, the unspoken dictation at the end left her somewhat puzzled.
She didn't like that Ge Xiaolun had been fooled by such a charlatan.
“He told me to follow my heart,” Ge Xiaolun replied without hesitation. The Taoist priest hadn’t told him to keep it a secret, so it shouldn’t be a problem if he told anyone, right?
"Follow your heart." Rose pondered these four words; the meaning was already quite clear.
Ge Xiaolun likes herself, but the Taoist tells her to follow her heart, which means to pursue her steadfastly.
"Tch!" Rose curled her lip, looked at Ge Xiaolun who looked flustered, and said, "After lunch, come with me to that Taoist priest's temple. You should know where it is, right?"
"I know, it's called Longyun Taoist Temple, located on the outskirts of Juxia City," Ge Xiaolun said, his joy evident on his face.
Rose nodded: "Okay, you can go back first. I'll look for you at noon."
Chapter 15 The Visitor (Part Two)
After lunch, Qiangwei and Ge Xiaolun agreed to set off, but due to an unexpected incident, the entire Super Soldier Company set off together.
"Hey, is fortune telling in China really accurate? Could it be that Ge Xiaolun is too naive and got scammed?" Lena asked casually out of curiosity.
She had some knowledge of traditional Chinese culture and had a strong interest in and curiosity about this kind of metaphysical stuff.
"Who knows? How do you explain fortune-telling? I'm not really sure either," Zhao Xin said, shaking his head in the end, and immediately received a playful punch from Lena.
The fist, as big as a sandbag and harder than alloy, almost sent Zhao Xin flying with a single punch.
"Sister Na, I've been honest, please let me go." Zhao Xin got up, touched his aching chest, and quickly begged for mercy.
"If you spout nonsense again next time, this goddess will give you extra training," Lena clapped her hands and warned.
Soon, the Super Soldier Squad and others arrived at the foot of Longyun Taoist Temple. Steps led up to the top, and looking up, they could see the temple gate—Longyun Taoist Temple!
The members of the Super Soldier Squad are all super soldiers with physical abilities and sensory perception far exceeding those of ordinary people, easily seeing distances of several hundred meters.
"This should be it," Ge Xiaolun said uncertainly.
"We'll find out if this is the place when we go up." With that, ripples appeared in the space in front of Rose, and she stepped out and disappeared.
With its spacetime genes, wormhole transport is as simple as eating and drinking for Rose.
"Minions, follow this goddess up the mountain." Lena wasn't wearing a black battle robe; she wore a black dress underneath a trench coat, her round, delicate legs encased in black stockings, and black boots on her feet.
She exudes the aura of a goddess.
Rose leaped through the wormhole and arrived in front of the Longyun Taoist Temple in the blink of an eye.
The main gate was not closed, and the two doors were open. Rose could see the Taoist inside practicing his fist techniques. With each step he took, his body followed him like a shadow, and his five fingers tore through the air like hooks and claws.
The air currents billowed the Taoist robes, and the wind howled.
Because of the angle, Rose could even see the Taoist's profile, and his face was blood red, with his ears even turning a blood-red hue.
