Ye Chi stood up, pulling a suitcase that had been damaged by mold, along with a knife.

His rough knuckles gripped the thickly stained scabbard.

"I just want to return to Jiangcheng as promised."

Xia Zhengyang sensed determination in the boy's clear and resolute words.

It was as if that place was his true home, and he had to return there.

"Row."

Xia Zhengyang sighed and nodded, then patted him on the shoulder and passed by.

Inside the wooden house, only a man and a woman remained.

Tian Xiwei's eyes reddened like a rabbit's.

She was reluctant to part with him, and holding Ye Chi's hand, she asked, "After we return to Jiangcheng, will we still have a chance to meet?"

A breeze blew in through the window, causing Ye Chi's long, slanted bangs to flutter as he nodded.

"Xiwei, we can meet again as long as we're alive."

Chapter 4 The Mad Return of Life

......

With their backs to the pass, the military vehicles passed through the final inspection.

Saying goodbye to familiar friends.

With a kind smile, Wang Youkai opened the car door and stepped inside.

In the passenger seat sat a thin but incredibly rugged-looking young man.

He plopped down on the leather seat, took the cigarette from his ear, and said, "Want a Huazi?"

Ye Chi took the cigarette.

Wang Youkai knew who the other person was, and helped him start the car, filling the car with the smell of cigarettes.

Ye Chi put a cigarette in his mouth, his thin lips pursed, and he took a deep breath as his chest heaved.

"Cough cough!"

The thick smoke was choking.

The seemingly experienced young man coughed with his mouth closed, trying to suppress his physical discomfort.

This startled Wang Youkai!

"God of Slaughter, you don't smoke?!"

Ye Chi glanced at him sideways, then took another drag.

There was smoke in his mouth, but when he exhaled it, there was no taste at all.

He tossed the half-smoked cigarette out the window with a look of disgust.

"I don't feel anything, it's meaningless."

Wang Youkai burst out laughing.

"Hahaha! Killer God, you're still just an eighteen-year-old kid. Why bother with all that trouble if you don't have a cigarette?"

"Unlike me, I'm already over thirty. I'm not very talented, and I'm always busy making a living. I hardly ever see my wife and children."

The car in front started moving, and Wang Youkai skillfully started to catch up.

Military trucks, hauling heavy materials, make a rumbling sound with every bump.

Ye Chi watched the receding yellow sand, leaning against the window with one hand.

"I didn't realize you had a child?"

Wan Youkai stared straight ahead, a smile playing on his lips, and said, "Yes, he's already six and in kindergarten!"

"Look! Her name is Xin Xin, the 'Xin' in 'warmth and gentleness,' isn't it lovely!"

He took a photograph out of his inner pocket.

The little girl in the photo is raising her hands and smiling sweetly.

This is a picture he took when Xin Xin called him "Dad" for the first time.

Looking at it, Wang Youkai could feel his daughter's call even though he was thousands of miles away.

Ye Chi examined the photo and asked, "Wenxin is her mother's name?"

"God! How did you know?"

"Guess."

On the vast expanse of yellow sand, long strings of military trucks look as tiny as tadpoles.

The journey was tedious and lonely, and the two, who were meeting for the first time, chatted incessantly.

One was quiet and reserved, the other was warm and friendly.

The scorching sandstorm made Ye Chi's bangs flutter wildly.

Ahead lay endless yellow sand.

What followed was an indelible mark etched deep in my memory.

I heard Wang Youkai's admiring voice in my ear.

"God of Slaughter, how did you manage to pay back ten million in a month?"

Ye Chi's rough fingers touched the scabbard.

At such a low price, ten million a month, that's 330,000 a day.

How did it do it?

Sometimes, Ye Chi himself is also in a daze.

During that month of sword fights, he experienced moments of helplessness, vomiting from killing, madness, and even hovering on the brink of death.

Fortunately, we overcame all the difficulties, no matter how great they were.

Now, he said without any politeness.

At the peak of the first tier, with a physical and mental constitution of 99, it's a complete joke in this place!

No, let alone first order.

Even a second-tier player with 1000 points in physique and spirit is just cannon fodder here!

Keep in mind that a single all-out attack on a city can result in hundreds of thousands of ordinary-level evil spirits!

These creatures came one after another, fearless and relentless; it would take ten days and ten nights to kill them all!

A second-tier human can barely handle a common-level evil spirit.

A single pass can be guarded by a maximum of five thousand soldiers.

Faced with the attack of 100,000 evil spirits, only second-tier warriors could survive by cooperating with third-tier powerhouses to defend.

But Ye Chi is clearly under 18 years old and can't even achieve a 100-point mental constitution.

How did he survive and even manage to kill the evil spirit?

This is something that not only Wang Youkai is curious about.

Two weeks ago, when Ye Chi single-handedly killed a strengthened creature, Nan Guan was caught up in a series of subversive comments!

Some people even suspected that Ye Chi was not human at all, but an evil spirit!

Because at the age of eighteen, he killed a strengthened body that required at least three levels to fight against!

No human could do that!

Indeed, even with the hundredfold amplification system, it was impossible for Ye Chi to go from a useless person with 10 points in physique and spirit to a third-tier powerhouse with 10,000 points overnight.

So how exactly did he do it?

He had clearly reached the peak of the first tier at 99, so why did his mental constitution drop to 88 when Xia Zhengyang asked him about it?

Is it just a perfunctory lie?

No, actually, all of this is true.

All of this stemmed from a single, fragmented page of a notebook.

This page of notes contains a structural explanation called "Life Return".

What is the return of life?

The notes state that it has three elements: size, energy, and life.

On the scribbled notes, the owner had filled the three elements with question marks.

This shows that even the owner of the notebook couldn't figure out its true meaning!

Ye Chi found this page of notes in his suitcase.

And this small suitcase of his was left by the original owner's father.

Back then, Ye Chi's peak first-tier strength was barely enough to keep him at the border, and he couldn't even protect himself.

There's no point in investigating who owned the notebook.

But the account of the return of life suddenly touched a spark of inspiration in his heart.

This world is different from Earth, except that Ye Chi has One Piece as a reference in his mind.

The most memorable scene is when Luffy, the Straw Hat, eats and drinks excessively, turning himself into a big fat man.

Activating "Life Return" allows him to lose weight and regain his fighting power (life) in the blink of an eye, even if he is covered in wounds!

My dear, there is more to come after this chapter. Please click on the next page to continue reading. There will be more exciting chapters later!

This is an application of the principle of returning life.
