Republic of China Era: Entering the Dao through Divine Strike.

Zhang Yourong laughed along with her.

"I want your Zhang family to immediately mobilize all your forces to find Gao Tianyun's hiding place, the sooner the better."

Li Xin's smile faded slightly, and he spoke in a deep voice.

……

The total credit rating has now reached 2.9.

This will boost our strength once again.

What's more, they obtained a century-old ginseng.

If we can find a way to get our hands on that century-old Ganoderma lucidum, the medicinal power of the Nourishing Essence Soup will be terrifyingly strong.

Your physical condition can also improve rapidly.

In this situation, we can't keep Gao Tianyun, the most notorious bandit in the capital, around.

In some ways, this person is even more threatening than a grandmaster.

Even if I can't beat a master, I can at least escape.

However, if one were to be entangled by this ruthless bandit, whose lightness skill and marksmanship were the best in the capital, the consequences would be unimaginable.

……

Chapter Sixty-Three: Warmth, A Bet on a Skill

Rumble...

A thunderclap boomed in the sky.

The rain poured down, and in the Li family's courtyard, the girls and boys, big and small, all giggled and screamed as they rushed into their respective rooms.

Even Fang Qiao'er, the woman he rescued from the prefectural office that day, had a slight smile on her face.

Working and standing in the stance are tiring, though.

But here, no one carries a whip and scolds you every day, and you don't have to live in constant fear. You also don't have to worry that your master might beat you to death on a whim.

It feels so good.

The young master is a kind-hearted person.

Not only did they provide food and clothing, they also personally instructed these people in martial arts. They said that once they mastered the skills, they could secure their livelihood and no longer be bullied.

Zhuang Hongxiu, their elder sister, was like a real sister to them. She cared about what they were thinking, talked to them, and taught them how to do things step by step.

Even if they do it slowly or poorly, I'll just smile and not be critical.

Gradually, these little guys became bolder.

Even Luo Xiaohu, that guy with the broken leg, started to care less about other people's strange looks.

Every day, he would use his crutches to visit each other's rooms, learning about each other's past.

In the past, the capital city was gloomy and gloomy every day for them, with almost no sunshine.

Even now, when thunder and rain are falling, they still find the night view here extremely beautiful...

The time was so beautiful, it felt like a dream.

"Second brother, second brother, Little Tiger is so clumsy."

He tripped and fell, dropping his crutches, and his wound got wet, but he didn't even bother to ask his second brother for some ointment.

In Xiaoyue's eyes, Luo Xiaohu was clumsy and Dong Zhu was dull.

Fang Qiao'er, on the other hand, exuded a strong aura of sadness, perhaps because her mother had just passed away and she had not yet recovered.

As for Yang Fan, he appeared somewhat gloomy, always frowning like an old man, and even his smile looked like he was crying.

Li Xin smiled and shook his head: "Perhaps he's used to being patient and doesn't want to trouble others."

"We are not just anyone."

Xiaoyue raised her head very seriously and said.

"Yes, so what should Xiaoyue do?" Li Xin touched his younger sister's face and noticed that the little girl had started to gain weight recently.

It no longer feels rough and uncomfortable to the touch; instead, it's soft and bouncy.

Under the dim light, it glowed with a healthy, rosy hue.

"How about I deliver the plaster over there? Second brother, could you help me carry it?"

Xiaoyue stood on tiptoe, but couldn't reach the wooden cabinet shelf no matter how hard she tried. She sighed softly and looked up at Li Xin with a disapproving look.

She seemed to think that her second brother was really clueless, just watching her mess around.

"Okay, I'll get it for you."

Li Xin chuckled softly.

He took out two plasters and placed them in her hand, stroked Xiaoyue's smooth and soft hair, and instructed her, "After you give me the plasters, wash your feet and go to bed. Don't stay up too late. Tomorrow morning, your second brother will teach you to walk in circles."

"I know, that's a boy's room. I definitely won't stay long. Sister Hongxiu is waiting."

"By the way, Second Brother, please don't let Sister Hongxiu wash your feet, okay? She's so tired during the day."

"Go away, go away, is this something a little kid like you should be worrying about?"

Li Xin was both amused and exasperated.

Then Xiaoyue made a face and ran away in a flash, making me sigh.

so good.

……

That night, Zhuang Hongxiu did not come to help her wash her feet. It was unclear whether it was because of the rain or because she was embarrassed by what Xiaoyue said.

The two whispered secrets in room number one of the west wing for a long time...

Slowly, the sound of soft, even breathing came through; she had clearly fallen asleep.

Li Xin then carefully considered his own improvement plan.

When he returned from Ruyi Restaurant, he received five thousand taels of silver and a century-old ginseng.

I signed a contract.

With a large sum of money in hand, they have no worries about making a living for the time being.

Selling mutton offal soup and steamed buns at the shop's opening every day is just a habit.

With so many people employed, they need to do something.

Otherwise, if they did nothing but eat and practice martial arts every day, he worried about what these children who had endured hardship might be thinking.

Having grown accustomed to hardship and doing a lot of tiring and dirty work, they would feel guilty if they suddenly stopped working.

It seems like nothing is right, and my mood starts to sour.

Don't ask Li Xin how he knew; it was the same for his parents and many people around him in his past life...

And century-old ginseng should naturally be used in conjunction with century-old Ganoderma lucidum.

Otherwise, the medicinal effects cannot be fully harmonized and balanced, and the effects of Yangyuan Decoction cannot be maximized, which is a pity.

Previously, he mainly considered that he had gradually obtained some light red spiritual power, and together with the golden spiritual power he obtained from Miss Zhang Yourong, he now had 2.9, which was enough for him to advance further.

Should we increase [Constitution] or [Spirit]?

this is a problem.

Adding [Constitution] has the advantage of immediately activating [The Great Sage Equal to Heaven's Divine Intent], granting access to another secret technique.

By enriching one's methods of dealing with enemies, one's strength will also increase.

But there are also concerns.

If the activated [secret technique] cannot play a decisive role in chasing down Gao Tianyun, or gain a greater advantage in the battle at Wan Hua Lou, the situation will become extremely dangerous.

However, if you increase [Spirit], the benefit is that with each increase in Spirit, you can better utilize your [Constitution] and [Agility].

On the surface, it's about enhancing [spirit], but in reality, it's a comprehensive strengthening.

You will have more precise control over your body, and you will be able to control your blood and energy more easily.

Li Xin's current mastery of strength allows him to increase his power by 50%, which is already quite good.

But it is said that if one cultivates the strength to its fullest extent, it can double the body's power... I am clearly still lacking in that area.

This involves spiritual strength.

The stronger one's mental strength, the shorter the time it takes to master the techniques of energy manipulation and improve proficiency.

What others have spent ten or twenty years honing, you may be able to catch up with or even surpass in a very short time.

In addition to body control and the application of force, there is also the use of agility.

For example, the speed branch.

The faster the speed, the better, as long as it is within your complete control.

The speed of things getting out of control is fast, but once it changes, it's not so easy.

What he wanted to achieve was to launch an attack that could be as fast or as slow as he wished. As the enemy's moves changed, endless variations would naturally arise.

With each increase in mental strength, control increases, and combat power becomes even greater.

Some things cannot be fully represented by numerical values.

only the guy drinking water knows it's cold or hot.

Therefore, Li Xin also really wanted to improve his [spirit] as soon as possible.

This is related to nerve responses, so you can't take it too seriously.

"I've decided to add to the physique. I have to trust the monkey. With such a great reputation, he wouldn't give me a useless skill, would he? I'll take the gamble."

It reminds me of the legendary Monkey King.

For some reason, Li Xin suddenly felt boundless confidence.

Thinking too much will unjustly tarnish the Great Sage's reputation.

……

Chapter Sixty-Four: Critical Strike and Hang Time

"promote."

The information became blurred twice.

The score in the "Constitution" column changed from 18.2 to 20.1 in the blink of an eye.

boom……

A thunderclap resounded in the sky.

It felt as if I had been struck by lightning.

Deep within my body, it felt as if a bomb had been inserted and suddenly exploded.

Boundless fiery energy surged in all directions.

His body, like an inflated balloon, suddenly transformed into a large, obese person, stretching his skin until it became translucent.

not good.

He quickly and forcefully contracted his body to calm the violent agitation.

In the dark.

Li Xin also felt a slight vibration emanating from within his body, in countless tiny places as numerous as the stars in the sky…

There is a gray substance that, as the body expands and contracts, shakes out wisps of smoke and dust.

"Crackling..."

A faint, popping sound filled the room.
