Click! Kaka!
The next instant, the scabs began to crack, first on the head, then the body, and finally the legs. The scabs began to peel off layer by layer, but in the process, the Taoist robe was also torn into pieces of tattered cloth.
In an instant, Li Dao became completely naked, but his mind did not notice this, still immersed in the sudden internal organ training and the rudimentary understanding of the fist intent.
Completing the marrow refinement is only a matter of time, but without comprehension and perseverance, it is too difficult to grasp the rudiments of boxing intent.
Even Li Dao spent nearly a month to grasp the basic form of the fist intent.
At this moment, Li Dao's entire body was as smooth as jade, and all his pores were closed. Except for his hair and eyebrows, he had no hair left, as they had all shrunk in.
In the parlance of martial arts, this state of closing all the pores of the body, preventing the growth of hair, is called—Subduing the White Tiger!
“He’s almost at the minimum standard for a second-generation super soldier, his strength is quite good, and… his resources are also considerable.” Angel Ying closed her Eye of Insight, looked at the naked Li Dao, and whispered.
Angel Ying has lived for 30,000 years and has long been a married woman, so she wouldn't care about this. She's not like those young angels who are only a few thousand years old.
only……
Angel Ying hesitated for half a second, then took out a set of casual clothes from the wormhole space, flew over and threw it to Li Dao.
She bought the clothes at a specialty store she passed by. They were men's clothes, and she originally wanted to be a tomboy with blond hair, but she never expected them to come in handy.
Li Dao took the clothes, then looked at himself, completely naked, as clear and bright as a piece of crystal jade, and quickly turned around to put the clothes on.
Although it doesn't fit perfectly, there's nothing I can do. I can't just go completely naked, can I?
"Thank you, layman." After getting dressed, Li Dao thanked the angel Ying beside him.
“No need.” Angel Ying shook her head, carefully examining the Taoist. His face was like jade, his lips were red and his teeth were white, and his bright eyes were shining. He was a true young man as beautiful as jade.
"Layman, would you like to visit the city ahead?" Li Dao looked at the city where fireworks were still going off, turned to Angel Ying, and asked.
The person in front of me is an angel sent by that little vixen He Xi to protect me. It's never wrong to build a good relationship with him, and I can even put in a good word for him.
I suppose I won't have to worry about resources anymore.
I wonder how that little vixen He Xi is doing?
“Then let’s go take a look. Also, you don’t need to call me Layman. My name is Angel Ying. I’ve lived for over 30,000 years. If you don’t mind that I’m old, you can call me Sister Ying.”
Angel Ying glanced at Li Dao; she naturally knew what he was thinking.
Having experienced 30,000 years, if he couldn't even see through an 18-year-old kid, then there was no need for him to continue staying by the side of the Heavenly King.
“Yes, layman.” Li Dao nodded.
Angel Ying glanced at Li Dao and found the young Taoist priest interesting. She smiled gently and said, "Let's go."
After saying that, the two quickly left.
Chapter 51 New Year
Every household is decorated with lanterns and colorful decorations to welcome the New Year.
Li Dao and Angel Ying walked side by side down the street, watching a group of children playfully walk by. Pedestrians on the roadside wore thick New Year coats and looked cheerful.
Li Dao didn't know where he was, but with the help of the angel Ying, he learned that he had unknowingly arrived in Anhui Province, which was in the northern part of China and not far from the capital, Beizhixing.
This bustling metropolis is Hezhou, the capital of Anhui Province!
"By the way, layman, is your research on the Heavenly King still not finished?" Li Dao asked casually, looking at the New Year's atmosphere.
The festive atmosphere of the New Year is something I haven't seen much of except for when I was a child in my previous life.
Now, seeing each other again brings with it a deeper sense of homesickness.
In this life, I am an orphan without parents, but in my previous life, my parents were alive and I had two younger brothers. I wonder if my parents will be sad when I pass away.
"Not yet, but I guess it'll be soon." Angel Ying fiddled with a small item next to her, a common little windmill, which she seemed to like quite a bit.
Yeah, the kind of windmill that costs five cents.
"It seems we'll have to wait a while longer," Li Dao thought to himself.
I have now broken through the marrow refining stage and am currently undergoing a blood transfusion.
The process of expelling impure blood during a breakthrough in marrow cultivation on the mountain is merely a cleansing and purification of the marrow brought about by the breakthrough, and does not constitute a true blood exchange.
At the same time, blood transfusions require a lot of supplements, otherwise one is likely to die during the process.
After all, when the human body is deprived of blood, it needs to be replenished with supplements in a timely manner, let alone replacing all the blood in the body.
It's like draining all the blood and then replenishing it with supplements. But if a person loses more than 40% of their blood, it will be life-threatening, let alone draining all the blood.
If an ordinary person did this, they would surely die, but Li Dao has reached his current level, and his life strength far exceeds that of ordinary people. Even if he bleeds out, he still has a glimmer of hope.
That glimmer of hope is the chance for a successful blood transfusion!
Therefore, in order to ensure the success rate, He Xi must be present to observe his situation in real time through her Eye of Insight and powerful computing power, so as to save him in time.
Of course, Li Dao values the large amount of resources He Xi possesses even more, because after the blood transfusion is successful, it can be used to replenish the lost energy in a timely manner.
Angel Ying glanced at Li Dao and, seeing the fleeting disappointment in his eyes, smiled and said, "He should be out in the next few days. Don't worry, you're one of her few research subjects."
Li Dao shrugged, looking indifferent.
So be it, I'll be a research subject! At least I can get resources, even if it's resources obtained by selling my body, at least I've encountered a big spender with principles.
If you were to encounter a certain farting god, they would probably lock you up for research, and then your life or death would be out of your control.
boom!Boom!
Just then, a series of explosions suddenly rang out.
Li Dao and Angel Ying looked up at the same time and saw the magnificent and dazzling fireworks in the sky. Although they were brief, they were still dazzling and colorful.
After watching the fireworks for a while, the two walked a long way along the street. Angel Ying looked at the streets on both sides and suddenly felt bored, so she asked, "Shall we go back?"
"Go back where?" Li Dao asked hesitantly.
Angel Ying smiled and asked in return, "Where do you want to go back to? Longhu Mountain or Longyun Taoist Temple?"
Longyun Taoist Temple? It's been a long time since I've been back; I might as well go back and take a look.
“Then let’s go back to Longyun Taoist Temple. Thank you for your help, layman,” Li Dao said.
"No trouble at all." Angel Ying smiled inexplicably, reached out and took Li Dao's hand. Before he could feel the woman's soft hand, he was lifted up into the air.
The two flew into the air, instantly attracting the attention of passersby, who then took photos and posted them on their social media.
Holy crap, there are angels!!
……
Juxia Port.
After more than a month of training on the Giant Gorge, the Super Soldier Company was given a few days off due to the arrival of the New Year, and today they finally went ashore.
"Finally, I'm back in Juxia City." Ge Xiaolun felt a sense of peace return as he stepped onto the solid cement ground.
God knows what I went through during the more than a month of training.
Aside from swimming in the sea, you're either getting beaten up or on your way to getting beaten up.
That's right, the one who helped Ge Xiaolun train to withstand blows was Sun Wukong. One or two blows from his staff were more effective than being bombarded by cannonballs.
I almost developed a psychological trauma from it.
"Land gives me a sense of security! I'm really afraid that I'll fall in at sea and become shark food," Zhao Xin said.
Cheng Yaowen, standing to the side, laughed upon hearing Xinye's words, "Xinye, didn't you fall into the sea before?"
"When did this happen? How come I didn't know?" Zhao Xin cursed inwardly, thinking of the time he jumped out of the plane.
Damn it, that was purely an accident for me. Who knew I'd land so far and end up jumping into the sea?
Cheng Yaowen smiled and didn't mention that matter again. He could live off the news of Xinye jumping into the sea for the rest of his life.
The others, seeing Zhao Xin's antics, relaxed a bit.
"Alright, the higher-ups have given you three days off. Those who want to go home for the New Year can go home, and those who want to go shopping can go shopping. Dismissed!" Lena said.
"Big Sister, aren't you going home?" Liu Chuang asked.
“Go home? Why go home? Our calendar on Lieyang Star is different from yours on Earth. Our New Year hasn’t even arrived yet,” Lena rolled her eyes and said.
Liu Chuang scratched his head sheepishly.
"Alright, alright, you guys go about your business. The higher-ups finally gave us a holiday, and this goddess is going shopping. I wonder how lively the Chinese New Year is in your country."
After saying that, Lena put her hands in the pockets of her trench coat and walked away in her knee-high black boots.
The others looked at each other and then left.
"Xiao Lun, Yao Wen, remember to come visit me sometime!"
"Don't worry, Master Xin, we will definitely go."
……
After leaving, Ge Xiaolun walked along the road, looking at the people passing by, all wearing thick clothes, their faces full of smiles, and children playing. He felt a surge of longing for home.
I haven't been home for months. I wonder how my parents are doing?
Thinking this, Ge Xiaolun quickened his pace, wanting to get home as soon as possible.
Liu Chuang, Zhao Xin, and Cheng Yaowen also missed home, as did Rui Mengmeng and Qi Lin, who hadn't been home for a long time.
As for roses, they do not have this homesickness.
Because his mother died early and Lao Deng was working, he had little understanding of the general concept of "home".
Only when she was in the army could she enjoy the warmth of home.
Instead of a cold, impersonal villa and a long string of unforgiving zeros.
Squeak!
"Mom and Dad, I'm home." Ge Xiaolun opened the door and walked in, just in time to see his parents sitting at the dining table.
"Hmm." The father was a veteran who had participated in the war in the 1970s. When he saw Ge Xiaolun, although he pretended to be serious, a smile also appeared on his face.
"It's good that you're back. This morning, the military called to tell us that you'd be back this afternoon."
The mother walked over with a smile as she spoke, feeling gratified as she looked at her tall son.
