Douluo: Law of Heaven and Earth

Chapter 967 Lu Qibin's Past - Extra Chapter 28: Star Meditation Method

Huo Xing was taken back to the Star Crown Sect's headquarters and imprisoned in a temporary cell. Lu Qibin found a doctor to treat him.

reason?

He may have just wanted Huo Xing to survive, but he explained to others that Elder Li Gong needed to return and interrogate him personally.

Why were you beaten up like this?

Li Ming already knew that her grandfather's request for her to return to the base to retrieve the soul card was a ruse, but she didn't expect them to act so quickly. In just over half a day, Huo Xing, who was seriously injured, was brought back.

"These injuries were caused by the teacher's soul pressure," Lu Qibin told the truth.

Where is Li Yang?

Li Ming asked.

“The teacher went to pursue him and hasn’t returned yet. He told me to bring him back first and interrogate him to get the relevant information.” Lu Qibin closed his eyes. “Moreover, the teacher has already sent a message to the sect. I guess the sect’s higher-ups have also learned that Li Yang is still alive.”

All of this happened so suddenly that not only Lu Qibin, but even Li Ming was caught off guard.

Fortunately, Lu Qibin's emotions were always relatively stable. He said, "Don't even think about taking him away. He's so badly injured. If you take him out, ordinary doctors won't be able to treat him. He'll probably die even faster."

Staying here might offer a chance for recovery.

Moreover, if Li Yang escapes to the Heaven Dou Empire, he will be key to extracting relevant information. Neither his teacher nor the sect's higher-ups want anything to happen to him.

Li Ming pursed his lips and remained silent.

After Lu Qibin walked out of the cell, Li Ming looked at the unconscious Li Gong and personally applied medicine to him. This was the only thing she could do at the moment.

However, this "affectionate" behavior was noticed by a guard walking by outside the cell...
···
Seven days later, Li Gong, along with the other three elders sent by the sect, cornered Li Yang outside the dilapidated Rotten Axe Village.

"Is it really necessary to go to such lengths?" Li Yang glanced at the four Soul Emperor-level elders, including Li Gong, and was slightly speechless.

"Not even twenty years old, yet a level 51 Soul King. Your talent deserves our attention."

One of the elders looked solemn, but he didn't hold back his praise, "You are definitely the most outstanding disciple in the history of the Star Crown Sect. You faked your death to escape, secretly conducted research, and even connected your cultivation with the movement of the stars. It is very likely that you will break through to the legendary peerless realm in the future!"

"Come back to the sect with us."

The second elder's tone left no room for argument: "If this drags on any longer, you won't be able to escape."

The third elder said, "You have already demonstrated your value, and the sect will never treat you unfairly! We will explain to the sect leader that you can continue your research, and all the materials still kept in the sect can be given to you. The only condition is that you must not publicize your theories to disciples outside the sect! We can make an exception and make you a direct disciple!"

"What do you mean?"

Hearing that the three elders' words didn't seem to be just trying to calm Li Yang down, but rather that they genuinely had such thoughts, Li Gong became uneasy.

If the sect can compromise on this—

What about those who died?
Did he die in vain?
"Engineer Li, watch your words!"

These three elders are all direct members, and their martial souls are all Star Crown. One is strong offensive, one is defensive, and one is control. The fact that Li Yang was able to hold out for seven days against the combined pursuit of these three and Li Gong has already proven her worth!
Therefore, they absolutely must obtain Li Yang's research findings! That Star Meditation Method that combines soul power cultivation with the movement of stars!
With this technique, the strength of the direct disciples of the Star Crown Sect will surely increase significantly, and it is not impossible for them to even surpass the three upper sects! Moreover, the possibility of achieving the "godhood plan" will also increase several times!
"hehe!"

Li Yang sneered, but also exhaled a breath of stale air. He put away the breastplate on his chest, raised his arms, and said with a grin, "I surrender."

It wasn't a trick; her body really couldn't hold on any longer.

Besides its use in cultivation, the Star Meditation Technique can also be used to absorb starlight during battle to restore soul power. Even during the day, the stars are still there, only covered by the sunlight.

However, after seven days of intense combat, running, and using her martial soul, the circuits circulating her soul power were already severely swollen and painful. If she continued, she would collapse from exhaustion. If there was only one opponent, she would dare to fight, but now there were four, making them a formidable opponent.

Their lives must be spared!

Only in this way can I continue my research!

that's it.

Li Yang was captured and taken back to the Star Crown Sect.

Li Gong returned to the sect's headquarters, utterly dejected. His spirit seemed to have completely dissipated; he couldn't believe that the mission he had persevered in for years, which had resulted in so many deaths, even his own son and daughter-in-law, had come to this—

Li Yang is not dead!

Moreover, because of her talent and research, the direct elders of the sect were actually willing to make concessions for her.

What is the meaning of everything I have persisted in and done so far?
He was clearly doing it for the future of the Star Crown Sect!

I don't understand...

···
Outside Lanke Village, Li Zhao and Edward arrived at the place where Li Yang and Li Gong were confronting each other, and began searching for valuables.

Edward gained nothing.

Li Zhao, however, found a necklace among a pile of rubble, with a rusty metal ball hanging from it.

"This thing is worthless."

Edward took it, glanced at it, and made his judgment, but then hung it around Li Zhao's neck. "Well, it can be considered an ornament, I suppose."

Li Zhao touched the rusty metal ball, then took out a bloodstained handkerchief from his pants pocket. Inside were fifty gold soul coins stained with reddish-brown blood, the color of which was not much different from the rust on the metal ball. Tears welled up in his eyes.

Edward had promised Li Jiang that he wouldn't interfere too much with Li Zhao, allowing her to live her own life... But in this dilapidated Rotten Axe Village, they couldn't even get enough to eat! The primary concern was survival! And Li Zhao cried almost every day—

This is absolutely not okay!
Therefore, he could only squat down and say to Li Zhao, "Don't cry, you have to survive, otherwise everyone will despise you."

"Anyway, I don't like them!" Li Zhao sobbed and shouted.

"For us refugees, our status is even lower than that of ordinary citizens. Only by uniting can we survive together."

Edward knew that Li Zhao was actually very intelligent, and seeing that she was willing to talk to him, he continued, "You can't say that in front of other people."

"Alright, I'll teach you three skills."

Li Zhao was indeed intrigued: "Soul Skill?"

“No, that requires a spirit ring… However, the skill I’m going to teach you is even more powerful than a spirit skill, perhaps even surpassing the legendary gods,” Edward said.

"Really?"

Although Li Zhao was young, she had witnessed the power of Li Yang and the others before. If her uncle was just as powerful, would he still need to hide behind the dilapidated house?
"Of course!"

Edward was slightly smug and recognized Li Jiang as his elder brother. He had also learned a lot and realized that there were beings in this world with power far greater than that of Soul Masters. Even the legendary Title Douluo would be bound by these beings.

Which three skills?
