People are in reality, transcending the other side

Chapter 222 The Great Sun and the Dragon (Sixth Update! A special gift for the Hall Master!)

After that, Li Qi practiced his sword skills and went into dungeons. He fought the heavy swordsman again, but it was easier than yesterday. However, he was still seriously injured in the end. His ten-sword-per-battle was still too much of a waste for him.

In the real world, Li Qi could at most use four strikes to slay the demons, three strikes to prove his power, and one strike to kill and achieve immortality. With his recovery ability, he would only need three to five days to fully recover.

As for the "Ten Cuts and One Slash" technique, once it's used up, the person will be almost finished. Even if the rescue is timely, they will probably need to recuperate for one or two months afterward.

This is even with Li Qi's panel locking the maximum health bar. The more health you have left, the faster you recover. If you have only a sliver of health left, it will naturally take forever.

After all, in reality, recovery follows objective laws; the better your physical condition, the faster you will recover.

After Li Qi finished practicing his swordsmanship and turned the swordsmanship proficiency gained from the life-or-death battle in the dungeon into real skill, Li Qi's swordsmanship reached LV10 (854/1000). He could then practice again in the evening and enter a stable state of deep concentration.

Thinking back to the past, when he had fantasized about mastering swordsmanship, Li Qi felt a moment of disorientation.

Once upon a time, this was his biggest goal, but now it is within reach.

However, although his swordsmanship was about to reach a divine level, Li Qi's lifestyle remained the same as before. He was not in a hurry to change his way of life. He hid himself in the crowd. Although he was still conspicuous now, it was actually a form of concealment.

No one knew about his tremendous growth in such a short period of time.

In the real world, it's impossible for everyone to know just because someone becomes stronger. Even Wang Taixu, who saw the video, couldn't discern Li Qi's true strength; otherwise, he would never have remained so confident.

Because at this point, Li Qi wasn't just using cheat codes; he was practically cheat code itself.

Although Li Qi lived his life according to his original trajectory, his thoughts, ideas, and perspectives were completely different from before. He looked down on everything around him and his former self from a more detached perspective, enjoying the brief peace before him.

My heart is filled with light, therefore what I see is even brighter!

When the heart grows, things are indeed different.

As usual, some students were playing around, while others were talking loudly and discussing current affairs. No one in the class could ignore Li Qi's presence, but no one would pay attention to him all the time.

He may be dazzling now, but everyone is the protagonist of their own world.

My heart is his heart, my thoughts are his thoughts, but what is there to think about, and where is there to be thought...?

Upon seeing this, Li Qi also gained a different understanding.

This so-called cultivation, this so-called Tao, is not only in the highest heavens, but also in the most ordinary, everyday life.

It's just that ordinary people are often blinded by a single leaf and cannot see Mount Tai.

After the morning classes are over, there are no classes in the afternoon. Instead, we organize study tours by class, which is also a tradition. It is springtime now, and the spring breeze is warm, making it a good time for outings.

As for the destination, it was the banks of the Tiancang River, but not the main stream of the Tiancang River, but a tributary that runs through the south of the city.

This tributary is not far from the school, only a few kilometers away, and there are greenway parks built along both sides of the river, making it a great place for a walk.

At the same time, all students also brought simple drawing boards for sketching.

"Aqi, I'll show you my painting skills later. These past few days I've had a dreamlike experience of enlightenment, and I feel an indescribable surge of emotion. Now I suddenly feel that I might be a painter in the future..."

Among the crowd, Sun Guang, carrying a drawing board, was muttering to himself next to Li Qi.

"If you hadn't drawn a picture of a sparrow climbing a tree last year, I would have believed it."

Li Qi responded with a smile.

“What sparrow climbing a tree? That’s called a phoenix landing on a parasol tree. But both the phoenix and the tree have returned to their original simplicity!” Sun Guang retorted.

"Ah Guang, you're no good. Watch your godfather's moves later!"

Li Qi said solemnly.

But the gaze went beyond the greenway railings and toward the surging river. Looking out, the bridge in the distance was clearly visible, like a celestial sword spanning the two banks. On the opposite bank, the vegetation was lush and green. Although they were on opposite sides of the city, they presented two different landscapes.

"If you hadn't drawn a crucian carp rolling around in the water last year, I almost would have believed it!"

Sun Guang exposed him without any mercy.

"I call it 'the sea is wide enough for fish to leap.'"

Li Qi's expression remained unchanged.

"It's just that most people don't know how to appreciate it!"

"When I attain the status of a demon god in the future, great Confucian scholars will surely debate the classics for me!"

"If you call it 'carp rolling around' now, it won't be available for hundreds of billions later."

"Are you sure those hundreds of billions were because of your painting, and not because of the demon god?!"

Sun Guang was somewhat speechless.

"These are just minor details, they're not important."

Li Qi suddenly stopped and propped up the drawing board on his back, placing it on the ground.

If I had to describe his original painting skills, it would be that he certainly had them, but it's unlikely he did.

Of course, Sun Guang and he are at roughly the same level.

But that was all in the past. Now, his mind and spirit are incomparably strong, and his physical body is as powerful as a savage dragon. His control over his body has also reached an extraordinary level, and he can truly inscribe the feelings in his heart into his calligraphy and paintings.

Li Qi's pause immediately attracted the attention of some interested people, such as Sun Guang, who immediately widened his eyes, wanting to see Li Qi's performance.

Besides them, Cheng Weiwei and Gao Xuan, who had once provoked Li Qi in class and ended up being confronted by the real Li Qi, also looked over, but they watched from a distance and didn't get too close.

Now, Li Qi's impression on him is that of a monster, only he looks like a human, which is extremely profound.

Especially recently, as Li Qi's battle record became increasingly outrageous, he felt no resentment towards Li Qi whatsoever. Instead, he felt that he had been far too brave and reckless back then, taking a blow from such a monster and only being stunned for a short while...

Li Qi acted quickly, setting up the frame, holding the paper, and then dipping his brush in ink. In just over ten seconds, he had sketched out a traditional Chinese ink painting of a surging river.

Although it is in the style of traditional Chinese ink painting, anyone looking at the Tiancang River can immediately tell that it depicts the river in front of them.

But Li Qi didn't stop. His brush continued to move, and in the end, the water rippled and the sun shone brightly, and a dragon swam on the river. In the final moment of finishing the painting, the dragon seemed to come alive and fly off the paper, causing Sun Guang and Cheng Weiwei around him to instinctively take two steps back.

"Painting the sun with ink wash, I actually felt a sense of great light shining through me, Qi, are you cheating?!"

"And this dragon... I feel like you've seen a real dragon before. In the real world, where do you find something like that?!"
