Douluo: Law of Heaven and Earth

Chapter 965 Lu Qibin's Past - Extra Chapter 26: The Incident
"Finally finished!"

"cheers!"

Inside the Star Luo Adventure Guild, Li Yang, Li Ming, and Huo Xing raised their glasses to celebrate the completion of the Earth and Stars Theory.

Of course, Huo Xing himself did not know the specifics of this theory, but he also contributed to its completion, so he was able to participate in the joy of the celebration.

What research topics will you be working on in the future?

Li Ming sipped his fruit wine and asked Li Yang about his next plans.

"Let's go stargazing."

Li Yang said, "There are countless stars in the sky. Although the theory of Earth and stars has been completed, the sun is not necessarily the center of the universe. There are other stars whose orbits have not been fully recorded. I will continue to study this topic."

Li Ming sighed, "You're still the same as ever."

"Just to satisfy my thirst for knowledge." After saying that, Li Yang took out a thin notebook and handed it to the other person.

"what is this?"

Upon opening it, Li Ming discovered that it described cultivation techniques, which differed from all mainstream meditation methods on the continent. Instead of circulating soul power within the body, it involved using a martial soul to condense the light of stars and infuse it into nearly three hundred locations around the body, connecting with the heavens through soul power.

"A special cultivation meditation method, created based on the movement of stars, is far from perfect, but its effects are very powerful, capable of training the body, spirit, and soul simultaneously."

Li Yang said, "But when each person cultivates, they have to sense the stars according to their own martial soul and match them one by one, which is a very troublesome process."

In short, without a sufficient understanding of the workings of the stars, it is impossible to cultivate successfully.

I'm giving this to you as a way to help my research.

Seeing her reaction, Li Ming couldn't refuse and could only accept it, asking, "Next, you're going somewhere else, right?"

"Yes."

The information related to stargazing in the library of the Star Crown Sect's headquarters in Star Luo City is no longer useful. If Li Yang wants to learn more, he can only return to the Star Crown Sect or try his luck elsewhere.

"Don't think too much. Now that the Earth and Stars have been completed, let's enjoy this moment of happiness," Huo Xing suggested softly.

“That makes sense.” Li Yang, unusually, did not object to Huo Xing and nodded.

"It's so lively!"

Just then, an untimely voice rang out.

Li Yang turned his head and looked over, his pupils trembling slightly, but he remained still—within the Star Luo Adventurer Guild, the other party would absolutely not dare to make any rash moves.

The visitors were none other than Engineer Li and Lu Qibin.

In the past month or two, Li Gong had not yet fully recovered from the suicides of his son and daughter-in-law. He also learned from Lu Qibin that his granddaughter had made a pen pal and that a servant was responsible for delivering the letters. Fearing that his only blood relative might be lost, he followed Lu Qibin.

But unexpectedly, I actually saw someone who should have been dead—

Li Yang!

Lu Qibin's eyes widened in disbelief that the dead could actually come back to life. His lips trembled as he asked, "Are you Li Yang?"

"You got the wrong person."

Li Yang remained unfazed.

Lu Qibin wanted to ask something more, but was stopped by Engineer Li, who apologized to Li Yang, saying, "I'm sorry, my disciple got a little too excited. After all, you look too much like an old friend of ours."

After saying that, Engineer Li sat down, asked the waiter to bring him a glass of wine, took a small sip, and then carefully examined Li Yang. He apologized again, "I'm really sorry, but if you look closely, you and she are a little different. Her skin isn't as smooth as yours."

"Grandpa, what are you saying?" Li Ming secretly breathed a sigh of relief and pretended nothing had happened, complaining to his grandfather. Li Gong laughed and then said to Li Yang and Huo Xing, "Thank you for taking care of my granddaughter. She doesn't have many friends at home."

"Oh? Li Ming, aren't you familiar with this young man?" Li Yang's gaze fell on Lu Qibin, and he teased.

"Not very familiar with it."

Li Ming snorted coldly.

Lu Qibin wasn't embarrassed; he simply nodded slightly and said to Li Yang and Huo Xing, "Hello, my name is Lu Qibin." Although he said this, his gaze remained fixed on Li Yang—

He was certain, absolutely certain, that the person in front of him was Li Yang!

After finishing his drink, Li Gong bid farewell to Li Yang and Huo Xing, and led Li Ming and Lu Qibin away from the Adventurers' Guild.

"Miss···"

“If we go back to the village, Li Ming should be able to hold him off for a while.”

The smile on Li Yang's face vanished completely. He immediately got up and quickly led Huo Xing out of the city.

After returning to Chaoyang Village, Li Yang put his research results and the meditation method into the metal ball, scrambled the pattern on it, applied a layer of grayish-brown paint, and then sanded it to reveal part of the scrambled pattern, making it look as if it were rusty.

"Give."

Li Yang handed it to Huo Xing.

"Miss, what is this?"

Huo Xing was puzzled as to why he would entrust such a precious item to him.
Li Yang took out the other documents and started a fire, preparing to burn them all. "The research results are all stored in my mind. The documents you have are just backups, just in case."

"Do we really have to burn all of this?" Huo Xing asked, looking at the flames leaping up, feeling a pang of reluctance. "These were all painstakingly copied down by you, Miss, or recorded by observing the stars!"

"It must be burned! I don't want my research to fall into the hands of the Star Crown Sect!" Li Yang was not stingy in sharing her knowledge; she only sought self-satisfaction. However, she had no respect for anyone who would squander her knowledge and would rather destroy it than leave it behind.

After the flames in front of them had burned all the documents to ashes, Li Yang seemed to have thought of something and asked Huo Xing, "You seem to have written a book?"

"Yes."

Huo Xing thought Li Yang was going to put it into the metal ball as well, so he took it out of the cloth bag at his waist. After all, he didn't know how to rearrange the pattern on the metal ball, this special Rubik's Cube, back to its original state.

But to Huo Xing's surprise, Li Yang simply took the book he had written and threw it into the ashes.

In an instant, the embers spread across the paper.

"do not want!"

Huo Xing was terrified. He rushed into the fire and retrieved the book he had written, but the intense heat of the flames caused it to fall again. When he picked it up once more, most of its contents had been burned.

"Although you have a good idea, leaving this book behind will cause unnecessary trouble if the Star Crown Sect finds out. I won't give the Star Crown Sect any chance," Li Yang said coldly. "Take the pendant and leave quickly. Farewell."

Looking at his scalded hand, Huo Xing trembled slightly, gripping the small metal ball tightly, and gritted his teeth, saying, "No! I won't leave! I want to stay with you, Miss!"

"You'll only be a burden."

Li Yang said indifferently, "If you stay with me, you're doomed, but if you're alone, you have a better chance of surviving."

As an ordinary person... even though you are now a first-ring Soul Master, you are too timid, and don't you want to live a peaceful life?

Go back to your hometown.

Holy Soul Village is located in the northeastern part of the country; just keep heading north along this road…
