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

His fist was as heavy as a hydraulic press. The solid iron lock, weighing a thousand pounds, was shattered into pieces by his punch. The iron pieces exploded in all directions, the weapon rack next to it was overturned, and swords, spears, and halberds were scattered all over the ground. The ground was also covered with dense cracks.

"My uncle's power is too strong!"

"My father is so powerful!"

"Is this the power of the Triple Reversal of Life?"

"The number one mystical sect in the world back then truly lived up to its reputation."

The Lu family members watching from afar were quite shocked. A thousand-pound iron lock was smashed into a pile of scrap metal with a single punch right in front of them; the scene was truly astonishing.

Lu Lin's grandfather stood in the crowd, his gaze fixed on Li Chang'an. He thought to himself, "It's incredible how much effort Chang'an could inspire my father. The gap between Lin'er and him is widening."

The battle continues on the field.

Li Chang'an adjusted himself to his strongest state.

While protecting his body with his wings, he launched an attack on Lu Jin by transforming parts of his wings with Qi.

This attack method consumes a lot of energy. It requires maintaining the overall defensive power of the wings, as well as instantly transforming a localized Qi, then punching out from the gap in the Qi transformation, and then restoring the wings' defense.

You could say he was multitasking.

If it were an ordinary superhuman, they would have been overwhelmed and thrown into disarray by such an intense exchange of blows.

However, Li Chang'an's micro-manipulation of Qi had reached an extremely high level. Therefore, he was able to handle this complex operation with ease.

Actually, I came up with this method on the spot while exchanging punches with Lu Jin earlier.

Using this shameless shield counterattack tactic, he exchanged blows with Lu Jin for more than a dozen rounds.

Although he was always blasted away by Lu Jin's terrifying power, and his wings were even broken and twisted a few times, as long as he used the Reverse Life Qi Transformation, his injuries would be restored to normal in the blink of an eye.

Seeing Lu Jin leaping forward again, Li Chang'an grabbed a nearby iron weapon rack and threw it, along with all the swords, spears, and halberds stuck in it, at Lu Jin.

That weapon rack must have weighed at least several hundred pounds, and with the weapons on it, the sound of it cutting through the air was muffled and terrifying.

Lu Jin's eyes widened, and the white light bursting from them was as intense as a raging flame. He did not dodge or avoid it, but grabbed the weapon rack with both hands and pulled it.

"Tear!"

He actually tore the steel weapon rack in half with his bare hands.

Throwing away the iron frame, Lu Jin strode in front of Li Chang'an. The ground beneath his feet caved in instantly, creating a deep crater under the pressure.

Countless shattered bricks, like stray bullets, were carried by the airflow and crashed towards Li Chang'an.

At the same time, Lu Jin threw a series of straight punches, aiming one after another at Li Chang'an's wings.

Li Chang'an folded his wings tightly together, but the flying brick fragments hit his wings, making a dense crackling sound, which was not enough to break through his defenses.

But Lu Jin's falling fist was incredibly powerful.

"boom!"

With another loud bang, Li Chang'an was sent flying again, his body slamming heavily into a row of stone locks behind him, smashing them to pieces.

His left wing was fractured again by the immense force, twisting in a strange way.

But the next second, white light flowed, and the twisted wings instantly transformed back to their original state.

Seeing that Lu Jin was about to rush over again, Li Chang'an quickly raised his hand to stop him:

"Alright, alright, that's enough, Grandpa. I'm going to run out of energy if we keep going."

Upon hearing this, Lu Jin stopped, dusted himself off, and appeared relaxed without even breaking a sweat.

Chapter 185 Reattaching Severed Limbs

Lu Jin lowered his rolled-up sleeves, as if the fierce attack just now was merely a warm-up.

Li Chang'an, on the other hand, stood amidst a pile of broken weapons, panting heavily. The wings on his back trembled slightly with each breath, and his white robe was covered in dust, making him look rather disheveled.

But none of the Lu family members watching from the sidelines thought he was in a sorry state.

Several elderly people stood by the drill ground, their expressions no longer one of surprise, but of horror.

Since becoming one of the Ten Elders, Lu Jin has rarely made a move. Even for the younger generation, it has been many years since they have seen Lu Jin take action.

Today I not only witnessed it, but the intensity was also quite high, yet the person who carried it out was merely a junior.

"This kid's attacks are powerful, and his defense is unbelievably tough," an old man said in a low voice.

"It's incredibly tough. This kind of defense is stronger than Golden Light Mantra, Golden Bell Shield, and other similar techniques," another person said.

"It's definitely stronger. I've dealt with many people from the Celestial Master's Mansion, and none of them could possibly have such a powerful defense."

“It’s not just about defense,” someone nearby chimed in. “Have you noticed that every time he gets knocked away, the wounds on his wings heal in mid-air? That speed of Qi transformation and recovery shows that he’s gone very far in the Reverse Life Triple Realm!”

"Actually, compared to all of these, I think what's most impressive is his fighting style. While using his wings to protect his body, he also uses his wings to launch attacks. He has to ensure both defense and the transformation of Qi, and he has to attack at the same time. Calling it multitasking is an understatement. Just thinking about it is incredibly complicated, let alone using it in actual combat. It tests one's spiritual cultivation and the ability to control Qi. But he does it as if it were his own arm. It's unimaginable!" said Lu Linglong's grandfather.

Lu Lin's grandfather sighed, "You used to always compare him with Lin'er, saying that he went out to gain experience for a few years, while Lin'er has been working hard these past few years, training her body under high voltage every week, and that she might be able to overtake him. But now it seems that, let alone overtaking him, the gap is getting bigger and bigger."

"Hey, why do you seem so pessimistic? This kid is so strong, we should be happy!" one of the old men said.

"Yes, yes, yes, we should be happy. Chang'an is excellent, but that doesn't mean Lin'er isn't. It just means we might be about to see an extraordinary person in person."

The members of the Lu family looked at Li Chang'an, who was panting heavily on the field, and whispered among themselves, their gazes toward him growing increasingly respectful.

Lu Jin walked up to Li Chang'an, patted him on the shoulder and said, "In the drill just now, Grandpa used... thirty percent of his strength. It's really not easy for you to remain undefeated!"

"Old ginger is spicier, I still have a long way to go to catch up with you, Grandpa!"

Li Chang'an laughed. He didn't know how much effort Lu Jin had put in, but he was quite satisfied with his own abilities after testing them, especially with the tactic he had come up with at the end.

"Old ginger is spicier..." Lu Jin smacked his lips. It was quite strange to hear these words from Li Chang'an. He would never have said such polite things before.

"This drill..." Lu Jin recalled the previous competition and said, "Since you can create wings with Qi transformation, you should be able to do this too!"

Lu Jin immediately demonstrated for Li Chang'an. He struck out with his palm, keeping his hand solid, but his arm was transformed into Qi, and could even bend to the side.

Li Chang'an nodded: "That's certainly possible."

As he spoke, he imitated Lu Jin and demonstrated it for her as well.

Although he had expected it, Lu Jin was still somewhat surprised to see it in person. He said, "Good lad, this can be considered a rather advanced application of the second level of Reverse Life. You mastered it right after breaking through?!"

"Superb?" Li Chang'an asked in surprise, "Isn't this a skill that can be mastered after one can transform their bones with Qi?"

Lu Jin gave Li Chang'an a deep look. If he didn't know Li Chang'an, he would have thought that the kid was just making sarcastic remarks. This was not a basic skill. Even when the Sanyi Sect was at its peak, not many people had mastered it. Even he himself only began to master it after entering middle age.

But he didn't want to say it. Saying it would make him, as the patriarch, seem somewhat incompetent.

Secondly, he worried that excessive praise would affect Li Chang'an's state of mind.

Even though he knew the possibility was extremely slim, he still subconsciously avoided it.

However, he couldn't bring himself to suppress Li Chang'an like other division commanders. He nodded, acknowledging Li Chang'an's progress, and then corrected him:

"This isn't some ordinary skill that you can just master casually. It's an advanced application of the reverse life state. Since you know it, do you know this too?"

As he spoke, Lu Jin struck out with his palm. The force of this strike was somewhat weak, but when he reached the end of his strength, his hand jerked, and to everyone's astonishment, his entire palm flew off his arm.

With a loud "bang," the palm struck the wall of the training ground in the distance, leaving a hollow palm print.

Everyone stared in horror at Lu Jin's bare arm. There was no flesh or blood at the cut, only a faint white aura emanating from it.

"Uncle, what's wrong?"

"Uncle, you..."

"Father..."

A group of old men exclaimed in unison. No wonder they were surprised; the scene was truly horrifying. Where was the hand? Where did the hand go?

"What's all the noise about? You're so old, yet you act like a child, making such a fuss!"

Lu Jin turned her head and scolded them in an annoyed tone.

A group of elderly men in their seventies and eighties were completely bewildered by Lu Jin's reprimand.

Li Chang'an looked at the hollow hand on the wall, then at Lu Jin's severed arm, but he wasn't too surprised, because he knew that arm regeneration was one of the abilities of the Reverse Rebirth Second Stage.

In the story, when Lu Jin was fighting with Li Muxuan, he once punched his own fist, which flew out and hit Li Muxuan in the face.

Lu Jin had said that he hadn't made any progress in decades, meaning that this was a skill he had mastered decades ago, and having mastered it for so long, he was naturally very proficient.

Sure enough, the next second, the white energy wrapped around the palm and rolled back, precisely connecting with the arm. At the connection point, the white energy surged, and it was instantly restored.

Such a miraculous scene left the Lu family members around speechless. They all knew that the Reverse Life Triple Technique was powerful, but they never expected it to be this powerful.

"With two levels of regeneration, severed limbs can be reattached. No wonder people say that with three levels of rebirth, one can become an immortal!" an old man exclaimed.

"This is indeed remarkable. However, I've heard that reaching the third level is extremely difficult. My uncle has been practicing for almost a hundred years, but he still hasn't reached the third level."

Someone looked at Li Chang'an: "I wonder if this kid Chang'an can do it?"

Chapter 186 Recent Situation

Lu Jin flexed her wrist and asked Li Chang'an, "Can you perform this method of limb reattachment?"

Li Chang'an pondered for a moment, then shook his head: "I'm not sure."

Actually, he felt that if he tried, he had a certain degree of success. But these things should be done naturally and gradually; there was no need to risk self-harm just to verify a method.

Lu Jin nodded, secretly relieved. If Li Chang'an could even manage this, then he, as the patriarch, really didn't know whether to laugh or cry.

Afterwards, Lu Jin dismissed everyone and sat down with Li Chang'an at a stone table by the training ground.

Lu Jin talked about Lu Lin's recent situation: "Lin'er just returned to the capital. His studies are relatively easy now, and he comes back about once a week. The next time should be in four days."

“No rush, there’s plenty of time to meet again.” Li Chang’an paused and said, “Grandpa wouldn’t be suggesting that I test Lu Lin, would he?”

"I had this plan, but now it's over!" Lu Jin shook his head. If Li Chang'an were to become Lu Lin's whetstone again, he would really ruin Lu Lin's good knife.

Then, Li Chang'an inquired about Lu Linglong and Wang Zhenqiu's situation.

Before his training, he gave Lu Linglong a pair of gloves meant for entertainers, so that she could use the power of faith within the gloves to hone her sexual skills. He also told her to call him immediately if anything happened.

Over the past two years, Lu Linglong had called him several times, but only to inquire about his recent situation, where he was, and what scenery he had seen. She did not mention any problems he had encountered in his cultivation.

Some time ago, he went into the uninhabited area of ​​the plateau. His cell phone had no signal, and he realized that he hadn't contacted Lu Linglong for a long time.

Lu Jin said with a smile, "Linglong has been cultivating at Baiyun Temple for the past two years, and usually goes to school in the capital. She's been safe and sound and hasn't encountered any trouble."

"I heard she's quite popular at school. A bunch of kids follow her around all the time, treating her like their big sister. There's even a fan club for her."

At this point, Lu Jin's face broke into a wide smile.

Li Chang'an smiled along, which indeed suited Lu Linglong's personality very well.

"As for Wang Zhenqiu..."

Lu Jin's smile faded slightly, and she shook her head helplessly: "This kid is just a restless fellow. He doesn't have any major problems, but he's always causing minor ones."

"After he returned to the southwest, he frequently caused trouble there. Many people complained to me, asking me to discipline his disciple properly, but the emperor is far away, how can I control him?"

Li Chang'an laughed and said, "Wang Zhenqiu is so bad that even the company can't control him, how could anyone else? How is his cultivation progressing?"

Lu Jin said, "He does follow the rules. He comes to me every few months to ask about some cultivation issues. It's strange, but although this kid hasn't received my daily guidance, his cultivation speed is quite fast."

"Grandpa, did Wang Zhenqiu come to the High Voltage Body Refinement Ceremony?" Li Chang'an asked again.

Upon hearing this, Lu Jin immediately laughed and said, "I dragged him here to try the high-voltage electric body tempering once, and as soon as the electricity was turned on, this kid was shocked like a pig being slaughtered, howling and screaming in the chair for a long time."

"He said he only practiced cultivation for fun. This high-voltage electric body tempering is not fun at all, and he would never continue it even if you killed him."

“He doesn’t want to practice, and I won’t force him. After all, he has a good foundation, and his current progress in cultivation is not slow.”

Li Chang'an nodded and said, "Wang Zhenqiu is a guy with a lot going on behind the scenes. We don't need to worry about him too much or delve too deeply into his secrets. Just let things take their course."

“That’s what I think too,” Lu Jin said.

After a pause, Lu Jin brought up Zhang Lingyu's matter again.

“Chang’an, while you were halfway through your training, Zhang Lingyu had already finished his training and returned to Longhu Mountain.”

"It is said that the old Celestial Master has formally taught him thunder magic and is personally guiding him. This kid's strength is likely to see a rapid increase."

"He'll definitely find a chance to get revenge on you later. But..."

"But what?" Li Chang'an asked.

Lu Jin said, "I was worried that your arduous training over the past two years would delay your progress in cultivating the third level of Reverse Life. But now it seems that I was overthinking it."
