Under One Person: Starting with the Dual Cultivation of Body and Soul.

Li Chang'an didn't feel any regret about it. After all, it was just a minor ability that came with the Reverse Life Triple Path.

Then he tried to stretch out his arms.

Although he hasn't been eating well for the past two years, his physical development hasn't been hindered. He's already over 1.9 meters tall, and his wingspan is over 1 meter.

In addition, there is the extended range of this three-foot Qi wall.

This means that his white qi attack range in actual combat can reach nearly two meters!

A two-meter attack range is negligible compared to the extraordinary spells of those supernatural beings that often feature towering flames and lightning.

But for the Reverse Life Triple Force, which has always been limited to close-quarters combat, this can be considered a significant improvement.

Followed by.

Li Chang'an then thought of an application of the reverse dual state.

The scene in the story where the advisor Zuo Ruotong and Wugensheng fight in the Sanyi Gate courtyard.

Wugensheng threw a punch, but his fist strangely pierced through Zuo Ruotong's arm, which had already been completely transformed into Qi.

Immediately afterwards, the hand of the pierced Qi-transformed arm struck Wugensheng's chest.

The arms transform into Qi, while the palms solidify.

This kind of combat technique, which ignores physical collisions and violates the normal laws of human skeletal structure, is undoubtedly difficult to defend against.

Li Chang'an had considered this fighting style before. However, because the first level could not transform the bones with Qi, it was impossible to do so.

But now that I have entered the second stage of Reverse Life and can transform my bones with Qi, I can naturally use this fighting method.

Li Chang'an began to try it out. He stood still and transformed his entire right arm into Qi.

His bones, blood vessels, and muscles gradually transformed into pure white energy. In the blink of an eye, his right arm became an illusory arm radiating dazzling white light.

Li Chang'an raised the illusory arm and found that even though the entire arm had been completely transformed into Qi and lost its physical structure, he could still control it freely without any sense of obscurity.

Immediately afterwards, he slammed his palm out into the air in front of him.

"boom!"

The Qi-transformed arm struck the air, causing it to vibrate violently and produce a muffled sonic boom.

"Even after the arm is fully transformed into Qi, it still possesses considerable offensive power, however..."

Li Chang'an shook his head. There was a significant difference in power between this kind of pure Qi attack and a direct physical attack.

After all, the strength of Qi is determined by sexual energy. In the state of solidified physical body, sexual energy and life force jointly dominate, and the physical power generated by the superposition of the two is several times greater than that of pure Qi attack.

"Perhaps we could try partially transforming Qi into physical form?"

Li Chang'an's heart stirred, and he immediately began a new attempt. He kept his entire right arm in a state of Qi transformation. While striking out with his palm, he continued to maintain the Qi transformation of his arm, but turned the palm part from Qi to solid.

There was a loud "boom".

His solid palm slammed hard onto the yellow earth in front of him.

The loess slope suddenly trembled, and amidst the flying dust, a handprint, half a meter deep with clearly defined edges, appeared on the ground.

Li Chang'an withdrew his arm, looked at the large crater in the ground, and a smile appeared on his lips.

"It really works!"

Afterwards, Li Chang'an tested his strength and speed after entering the second stage of Reverse Life on this desolate loess plateau.

He wanted to find a large rock to lift, but the Loess Plateau was full of soft loess and gullies, with very few large, hard rocks.

He simply looked at a steep earthen slope in front of him that was as high as a three-story building, took a deep breath, circulated his internal energy, and stomped his foot hard.

"boom!"

The ground where he stood instantly collapsed, creating a deep pit. He transformed into a white streak of light, hurtling straight towards the earthen mound. He didn't use any swordsmanship or fancy moves; he simply threw a punch forward with all his might.

"Boom!"

The first punch blasted a large crater several meters in diameter into the already fragile earthen slope, and chunks of yellow soil fell like raindrops.

Li Chang'an didn't stop. He swung his fists and launched a fierce attack on the earthen slope, each punch accompanied by a sharp sonic boom.

"Boom! Boom! Boom!"

The enormous impact echoed continuously.

Every punch he threw kicked up a cloud of yellow dust.

In just a few minutes.

When Li Chang'an stopped, the original loess slope was actually leveled into flat ground by him!

Amidst the swirling yellow dust, Li Chang'an's chest heaved violently as he gasped for breath.

Even though his internal energy was abundant and his ability to reverse the cycle of rebirth was extremely enduring, he still felt somewhat tired after that attack.

"My strength, speed, and punching power have all changed dramatically compared to the first level. If I were to face my current self at the first level, I'm afraid I wouldn't be able to withstand even a single punch," Li Chang'an thought to himself.

Of course, this is his second level of reverse rebirth. If it were a normal second level of reverse rebirth, there would be no way to achieve such a great improvement. As for how much the difference is between the two, Li Chang'an couldn't say for sure. Perhaps only Lu Lin would know after breaking through to the second level of reverse rebirth.

After some adjustments, Li Chang'an's internal energy finally calmed down. He took a deep breath, then exhaled slowly. With a light tap of his toes, his figure instantly transformed into a white arc of electricity and left the place.

During his previous arduous training, he always kept himself in check, without using any special methods, just like an ordinary person, measuring the earth with his own two feet.

Now, with his improved state of mind and breakthrough in cultivation, his arduous training is over, and he has begun to unleash himself without restraint.

Li Chang'an raced across the vast land at such a speed that even if he sped past ordinary people, they could not catch a glimpse of him with their naked eyes; they could only feel a gust of wind rushing past.

Even at such a high speed, Li Chang'an was still able to maintain complete control over his body.

If you want to turn, you can turn in an instant.

You can stop instantly whenever you want, without worrying about going too fast and not being able to brake in time.

This is the manifestation of a strong cultivation of one's nature and life force, and it is the complete mastery of one's own nature and life.

After running a distance in the wilderness, he stopped.

Li Chang'an felt thirsty, so he went to a stream, squatted down, and scooped up some water to drink.

At that moment, a group of young people were camping by the stream when they saw Li Chang'an.

"Hey, when did a homeless man come over there?" one of them said, pointing at Li Chang'an.

Chapter 173 Crisis

Upon hearing this, the others also looked at Li Chang'an, who was drinking water by the stream.

"Oh yeah, when did it appear? We've been taking pictures here the whole time, how come we didn't see it?" a girl wearing a baseball cap asked, looking puzzled.

Another person said casually, "What's so strange about that? We were so busy looking at the scenery that it's normal that we didn't notice. But look at this guy, he's so pitiful. His hair is all white, and he's still wandering around outside. He doesn't even have a decent set of clothes, and he can only drink tap water when he's thirsty. He probably hasn't eaten in a long time. We brought a lot of food with us on this camping trip, why don't we share some with him?"

"Let's just forget about it." A bespectacled boy next to him reached out to stop him. "There's a popular saying online these days: 'Don't get involved in other people's problems.' Let's just continue our camping trip and picnic. It's better to avoid trouble."

"What do you mean by not interfering in other people's karma? We have clean water and surplus food, what's wrong with helping out?"

A pretty girl with a ponytail disagreed with this statement. Ignoring her companion's advice, she took an unopened bottle of mineral water and an individually wrapped soft bread from the tent and walked quickly towards the stream.

"Hello, I have some clean water and bread here, please take them and eat." The girl handed over the food and water with a gentle expression.

Upon hearing the sound, Li Chang'an stopped drinking water and turned to look at the girl.

As they looked at each other, the girl saw Li Chang'an's face clearly and was stunned. Her hand, which was handing over the food, froze in mid-air.

She had originally thought it would be a frail, white-haired old man, but to her surprise, it turned out to be a young and handsome white-haired boy.

The contrast was so great that she was momentarily stunned.

Li Chang'an glanced at the girl and looked at the bread and water in her hand. Although he had long since lost his appetite for food, he thought to himself that he hadn't actually eaten a proper human meal in over a year.

Therefore, he did not refuse, but accepted the other party's kindness and thanked them calmly.

"Thank you!"

Hearing Li Chang'an's voice, the girl came to her senses and waved her hands repeatedly, feeling flattered, and said with a blush, "No...no need to thank me. Do you want more? We have plenty of food in our camp."

After a pause, she mustered her courage and tentatively invited, "Um...would you like to come over to our place and camp with us?"

"No need," Li Chang'an said, having never liked such occasions. "Thank you for your kindness."

After thanking the girl, Li Chang'an nodded, then took the food and left along the stream.

The girl stood there, staring blankly at his retreating figure. Several times she wanted to call out to him and ask for his contact information, but Li Chang'an's aloof and unapproachable aura prevented her from taking that step.

While hesitating, Li Chang'an's figure had completely disappeared.

Looking at the empty stream, a sense of inexplicable melancholy welled up in her heart. She could only comfort herself: It's okay, forget it. Even if I mustered up the courage to go up and ask, judging from his appearance, he probably doesn't even have a cell phone.

However, she still couldn't understand what such a beautiful and elegant person had gone through to end up alone in the wilderness.

When she returned to the camp, several of her companions were sitting around a folding table eating sunflower seeds. Seeing that she seemed a little absent-minded, the boy in the windbreaker joked, "Hey, what's wrong with our Xiao Liu? She went out to do charity work and came back looking like she's lost her soul?"

Xiao Liu ignored him, plopped down on the folding chair, and couldn't help but glance in the direction where Li Chang'an disappeared.

Seeing her like this, the bespectacled boy lowered his voice and said, "I told you, don't meddle in other people's affairs. Look, you delivered something, and now you're the one who's upset."

"Shut up," Xiao Liu said, giving him a disgruntled look.

At this moment, Li Chang'an was walking slowly along the gravel path beside the stream. He looked down at the bread and mineral water in his hand, found a flat stone by the stream to sit down, tore open the packaging, and took a bite.

The bread was soft, and he ate it slowly, chewing each bite as he savored this otherwise ordinary process.

Along the way, he drank rainwater when he was thirsty and chewed grass roots when he was hungry. When he suddenly ate proper food, even if it was just a piece of ordinary bread, he tasted a different flavor.

After finishing the bread and drinking the bottle of water, Li Chang'an found a secluded corner, and with a thought, took out a clean set of Trinity white robes from his pouch and changed into them.

The pods have an excellent preservation effect; even after more than a year, Li Chang'an could still smell a faint soapberry scent on his clothes.

After changing into this outfit, he looked like a celestial being again. No one who saw him now would associate him with the homeless man who had been drinking raw water by the stream.

Li Chang'an resumed his journey. Although he intended to go home, he did not look for a station or take any modern means of transportation.

Dressed in white, he walked slowly across the land of Shaanxi and Gansu, still intending to walk back to Suzhou step by step.

The journey from northern Shaanxi to Suzhou is over a thousand kilometers. If one travels day and night using the Divine Traveling Talisman, it would take about two days. If one combines it with the Judgment Dharma Image for straight-line flight, the speed would be even faster.

But he did not choose to do so.

Training, after all, must have a beginning and an end. Since he walked here, he should walk back. Anyway, it won't take long. With his current stamina, even without any magic, it should take him about two weeks to walk back to the Lu family compound.

……

In the afternoon, the sunlight became softer.

The group of young people who had been camping by the stream finished their picnic, packed up their tents and cooking utensils, squeezed into a white SUV, and slowly drove along the winding mountain road toward the city.

Not far ahead of them, a heavy semi-trailer truck fully loaded with huge steel coils was driving.

Those steel coils, weighing tens of tons, were placed upright on the carriage.

Perhaps because the road conditions on this provincial highway were so poor, the truck bumped around a bend, and the steel cable securing the steel coil snapped.

"boom!"

The last massive steel coil rolled off the train carriage, carrying terrifying kinetic energy as it hurtled wildly down the road.

And on the highway a few hundred meters below the steel coil.

The white SUV was driving slowly, and a group of young men and women inside were chatting away.

"Hey Liu, what are you spacing out for?" a boy teased, glancing in the rearview mirror. "I've noticed you've been acting strangely ever since you gave that homeless old man food and water. What's wrong? Did he drug you?"

Chapter 174 Turning the Tide

Xiao Liu snapped out of his daze and said irritably, "I've told you guys so many times! That's not an old man at all, he's a young man, he probably doesn't even look as old as us!"

"Alright, alright, homeless young man, is that enough?" His companion chimed in, suppressing a laugh.

“He’s not a homeless young man! No, I feel like he’s not a homeless person at all, he’s just…” Xiao Liu wanted to explain, but didn’t know how.

"Just what? Just likes to wear beggar's clothes?"

"Oh dear, I can't explain it to you!" Xiao Liu waved his hand somewhat angrily: "Anyway, he's definitely not an ordinary person."

"I can't explain it either. Why did I suddenly become infatuated with a homeless man? What? Is that Brother Sharp?"

"Shut up!" Xiao Liu glared at him.
