The old man you see with your phone is highly suspicious.

"So after I had children, I officially joined the interstellar squadron and began to train and strengthen myself constantly. I also honed my superpowers and physique through repeated training and practice."

"Because some things are more important than life itself."

"And now, with only a little over a thousand more children, I'm starting to feel lost..."

"Snapped!"

He slapped himself hard across the face.

Xue's Law: "..."

No, no, it's not that serious, there's no need for this...

It's perfectly normal to hesitate because you're afraid your unborn child will lose its father.

That's why Xue Dinglu never thought about starting a family. He didn't know when he might die far from home, so he wouldn't fall in love, much less offer someone such an uncertain future.

Because he lost his family at a young age, he understands what it feels like for a child to grow up without family.

From a comrade's perspective, Xue's law should encourage the young man to persist in his dream, but from a friend's perspective...

“Actually, I think you could do clerical or logistical work for a while first,” Xue Dinglu said. “You can wait until your children are seven or eight years old, when they gradually have their own families and you don’t have to worry about them anymore, before you can fulfill your childhood dreams.”

Xue Dinglu remembers that the children in the Little Warriors World started to get married around the age of eight or nine. The girls chose their husbands, while the boys gradually formed their own harems.

From that moment on, the children of their world truly grew up.

So although the young man is younger than Xue Dinglu, he has been married for nearly ten years, while Xue Dinglu is still single.

"I'll think about it..." he said, seemingly prepared to switch to an administrative or logistical position, but he couldn't stop developing his special abilities and training. Combat power would decline if he stopped.

Xue Dinglu felt like he had unintentionally become a psychologist, and complained, "I feel like the two of us are like two idle male high school students in a dormitory. We were chatting, and suddenly we started talking about philosophy, life, and dreams..."

He then continued to talk to the young general about the subsequent events and arrangements of the theocracy, as well as the interesting stories about those divine nobles.

This includes things like beheadings at the market.

During the conversation, Fafnir returned and said, "Teacher, I'm back..."

"Oh!" Xue Dinglu stood up and greeted the young man.

The young man didn't recognize Fafnir or the old man; he was a complete newbie, having only joined a few years ago, so he simply nodded.

“Oh, right, teacher, Grandma Olivia asked me to pass on a message that Elder Kleber wants to see you one last time,” Fafner said.

……

This was probably the last time Xue Dinglu met the old man.

Here, the old man smiled, as if he had found many missing memories and thought of the things he had done in the past.

He seemed to have let go of all his last burdens, because his final mission was complete. The black hole was under their control, and the void was finally plugged. They had also completed their mission.

"Goodbye, Little Xue's Law, I'm returning to the embrace of the King." The old man smiled and slightly removed his old hat to bow.

"Thank you. I have nothing to leave behind, so let this short sword be your final memento."

After the old man finished speaking, he handed the short sword, which was the same type as the brave uncle's, to Xue Dinglu.

Xue Lude knew that this sword originally belonged to the captain of the 27th squad, but after being changed several times, it finally ended up in his hands.

"May your future be bright and promising," the old man said, offering his final blessing.

The next moment, the old man disappeared and returned to the Mimic King. Perhaps in the near future, he will also use part of his soul to make materials for emergency communication devices, burning his last embers for the new seedlings.

"Goodbye, sir." Xue Dinglu smiled and said his final goodbye.

Although they only spent a few days together, Xue Dinglu got used to this old man who, despite looking intimidating, always had a kind smile.

He also recorded the old man's story, intending to store it in the magic academy.

Turning around, the two went their separate ways and began to embark on their different futures.

……

Nighttime, Jiangcheng, Xue Dinglu's home.

Xue and Fafnir left the Starfleet.

When I have time, I'll ask my mom why I was able to capture the old man's soul.

Xue Lu thought to himself that he actually wanted to see if he could use the same method to guide the souls of the other members of the 27th Squad back home as well.

No one was home at the time, but all the lights were on. Xue Dinglu saw the food on the table, as well as a small note.

"I took the three kids to the park. If we're not back by then, could you heat up the food a little?"

Xue Daolu looked at the food on the table, too lazy to heat it up, and secretly began to prepare to heat it up with a small flame.

Fafnir also sat down at the table, as if she was thinking about something.

Xue Lude was also curious about what happened to Fafnir while she was in the interstellar column, so he asked her directly.

Fafnir did not explain directly, but silently stretched out her hand. The next moment, a sword appeared in her hand. It was the Lava Holy Sword that Xue Luding had just forged, but it seemed to have been enhanced by the Star Squadron.

But in fact, Xue's law also seemed to be on the verge of collapse.

They had painstakingly forged the Holy Sword, intending to return it to the Starship Corps. However, the Starship Corps decided to let the Hero Uncle's daughter inherit the Holy Sword, so in the end, it returned to Fafnir's hands.

Why not just forge the Holy Sword yourself from the start and give it directly to Fafnir?

Xue Law felt himself caught in a deep logical thinking process.

"And teacher, it seems my power has improved a bit more." Fafnir activated the holy sword in her hand, and the next moment, surging energy began to be released, making Xue Dinglu's self-built rural house seem to be on the verge of collapse.

Xue's Law: "!"

Nearly Level 5!

Fafnir is now almost Tier 5! She's on par with the old Demon Emperor!

Damn it, what kind of numerical monster is this!

Xue Lu felt a pang of sadness at his hard-won near-4th tier of magic power, while watching Fafnir seemingly reach near-5th tier after fusing with the Holy Sword…

I wish I were a numbers freak!

No need to painstakingly gather intelligence, formulate plans, and then slowly start finding the enemy's weaknesses. Just go in and use a combo of basic attacks interspersed with normal attacks to kill the apostle instantly.

Why am I not a numbers monster?!

"Teacher, what's wrong?" Fafnir, who had been about to tell Xue Daolu the good news, suddenly felt like she had done something wrong, as if she had noticed Xue Daolu's low spirits.

"No, it's nothing, I just want to be alone..." Xue Dinglu stared silently at the ceiling.

Perhaps I need to improve my basic magical abilities.

My magical abilities are still limited to the same three tricks: Holy Light spells, rituals, and cursed blood.

Holy Light magic has not been developed for a long time, and Imperial Swordsmanship has also been abandoned for a long time.

Perhaps I can pick it up again for now. I still have several days of vacation left, so I can slowly practice Holy Light Magic and Imperial Swordsmanship.

It shouldn't be called Imperial Swordsmanship anymore. Although Xue's close combat ability is based on the Imperial Swordsmanship of the Old Necromancer Cult, over time it has gradually deviated from the original form of swordsmanship, incorporating Greek martial arts and otherworldly combat techniques, and has become a completely new swordsmanship.

"Let's start training hard tomorrow. It's been a long time since I've climbed the dragon." Xue Dinglu held the short sword the old man had given him and made plans for tomorrow.

……

The next day, a white plastic chair for a food stall was placed in the courtyard, and a short sword was placed on the plastic chair.

This short sword is not a Noble Phantasm, but the old man seemed to have deliberately adjusted it before leaving. Now it is only missing a great achievement based on this as a true Noble Phantasm. He handed this weapon to Xue Lude so that Xue Lude could write a new story on their last relic.

Meanwhile, Xue Dinglu began training in holy light magic in the courtyard, and he was also thinking about whether he could train in double jump.

The double jump is a physical skill that is somewhat useful in any situation.

Chapter 306 What kind of tile is this?

When Fafnir returned from her workout, she saw Xue Lude sitting on a plastic stool at a food stall, deep in thought.

For some reason, she always found strange things to think about that figure from behind.

Xue Dinglu had already learned the double jump into the dragon leap, but he got stuck here when he wanted to take his magic and martial arts to the next level.

The main reason is that its base stats are too low.

Xue's law was originally just an ordinary person, and his ancestors were nothing strange, just typical scattered rat ancestors.

When the bulk rats evolved to his generation, the upper limit of their functionality was actually just that.

However, it's not a big problem. After all, Xue's current true form is a pure energy body, and the human body is just a habit for him.

Although progress in magic is slow, it hasn't reached the point of being inhuman.

However, Xue's progress in magic is slow, which is his own opinion. If anyone knew that he had gone from a Muggle to a near-4th rank in less than two months, they would be extremely astonished.

None of those who achieved rapid training could do it as fast as him. Moreover, other magicians who achieved rapid training all had various problems, resulting in low combat power, but Xue's Law was different.

An unprepared encounter might not work, but if you prepare him well, set up the ceremony and the venue, Xue's Law can unleash a level 5 combat power, which is completely countering the enemy's level 5, to give the opponent a little shock in terms of mechanics.

He felt that at his current pace, it would probably take him some time to officially enter the 4th tier, and then the speed to reach the near 5th tier would slow down considerably, probably taking more than half a year.

"The numbers are still too low, and my leveling speed is still too slow," Xue Dinglu thought.

However, even the old Demon Emperor would want to punch someone if he heard this, as it took him decades to reach the near-5th rank.

That concludes today's training. Xue Dinglu completed the combo of double jump followed by Dragon Ascent, and Holy Light Magic also improved upon the original Holy Shield spell with a completely new technique.

The Holy Light Barrier can raise a holy light shield in front of you, and the shield has physical properties that allow it to be broken into two large swords.

The sanctified lightsaber can extend into a lightsaber of varying length from a hand blade. The lightsaber, condensed with magic, even possesses certain physical properties, carrying temperatures of tens of thousands of degrees. Furthermore, the spell of the sanctified lightsaber can be applied to ordinary swords, giving them stronger enchantments.

In addition to Xue's existing Holy Light Guillotine and Eight-Part Light Wheel, his current magic is sufficient. When he needs to use spells, these spells can finely slice the opponent into minced meat, just like a meat processing plant.

After further honing his existing magic and swordsmanship, Xue Luding prepared to meet his mother.

Soon, he connected with the Earth's consciousness.

"Hmm?" Earth's consciousness showed a puzzled expression.

"I want to ask Old Man Kleber where his soul came from," Xue Dinglu asked, revealing his purpose.

According to the information left by the Star Squadron, the souls of the old man and the other members of the 27th squad were not captured by the Mimic King. Therefore, they were either in the black hole or had been swallowed by the cosmic void.

So Xue Law came here this time to ask if he could find more information, and ideally, find the souls of all the members of Squad 27.
