Chapter 63: Faint Silhouette

  Before losing consciousness from the explosion in the arsenal, Li Ling clearly remembered that he was fighting with S09-coded abnormality in the arsenal, and finally was blown out by a powerful explosive shockwave, followed by fainting.

  Now, Li Ling is awake, but his vision is extremely blurry and he can't see anything clearly in front of him. He can only see blurry figures moving back and forth in front of him, as if he were in a laboratory.

  "Where am I?" Li Ling could only subconsciously ask himself, but his muscles and tendons were so exhausted and numb that he couldn't move a single bit, as if they were filled with lead! Blocking all consciousness from brain waves!

  Just as Li Ling was about to give up, a blurry figure appeared beside him. From the outline, it seemed to be a woman. The woman slightly bent down, seemingly examining Li Ling's pupils.

  But the conversation between the woman and others also fell into Li Ling's ears, and among Li Ling's five senses, his ears had not completely lost their hearing.

  "Li Ling's eyes are dazed, how much anesthetic did you inject him with? And I don't allow you to do that kind of thing to Li Ling, he won't agree to it." A woman's vague silhouette stood in front of Li Ling, and a group of people seemed to be standing in front of the woman, who was desperately trying to stop them from doing something to Li Ling.

  Others seemed to hesitate for a moment before one of them stepped forward and said, "Miss, please step aside. We have to carry out our superior's orders. Li Ling must receive this injection today, otherwise we won't be able to report back to our superiors."

  "No way, you're going to inject that unknown stuff into Li Ling, unless you kill me first." The woman strongly opposed it, even willing to sacrifice her own life to protect Li Ling's safety.

  "But... Miss, if you're in such a dangerous situation this year, someone has to make a sacrifice. If Li Ling doesn't receive the cell nucleus of God's Arm, he won't have the ability to protect you completely. You know the strength of those people!" The other researchers strongly persuaded the miss.

  Although Li Ling had lost the perception of his other four senses, his ears were not deaf. After listening several times, Li Ling finally made out the voice, which was surprisingly An Jing's unique and quiet voice. An Jing's voice carried a full range of huskiness and melancholy that Li Ling would never forget.

  Although he could hear the sound, Li Ling had lost his other four senses and was unable to respond to everything outside at this time. He couldn't even move a finger, let alone stand up!

  "I... I don't need anyone's protection, if they want to take me away, then so be it. For ten years, I haven't had a single day of peace. Rather than living in such pain, I'd rather let them have their way. At worst, it's just death." The woman spoke resolutely.

  Li Ling could hear the endless sorrow in the quiet voice, a girl who had been pursued by various unidentified people since she was eight years old, no matter who it was, it was unbearable.

  "Sorry, Miss Anjing, your personal freedom is restricted. You yourself hold a huge secret that even the country can't control, so, miss, please cooperate with our work." A low-pitched male voice said.

  It's clear that this man is of a high status, and An Jing doesn't dare to be too disobedient.

  "No! I said no, it's just no." The quiet and blurry Qianying flashed, pulled out what seemed to be a very sharp object and pressed it against her own neck.

  Li Ling could open half of his eyes, but he couldn't see clearly and could only guess that it was a shiny dagger or some other sharp object.

  "Give the young lady some anesthetic and let her sleep well." The low voice of the man sounded again, giving orders to the researchers on both sides.

  Step back quietly and approach Li Ling's operating table! Hold Li Ling's palm tightly.

  Li Ling vaguely felt the fear transmitted from An Jing's palm, and that trembling soul.

  "If any of you dare to come over, I'll cut my own throat with this knife." The quiet knife seemed to have made a tight cut on the neck, and a stream of scalding blood flowed down from the neck to the shoulder, dripping onto Li Ling's arm.

  "Quiet." Li Ling half-opened his eyes, looking at the blurry figure in front of him, and felt a slight sense of emotion. This girl was actually desperately protecting him.

  "Quiet down, miss. You'd best not cause any trouble." The man with the low voice coughed twice, seemingly suffering from a severe case of lung disease or something similar, and his speaking voice was extremely low.

  "Uncle Jing! Please tell my father that Anjing doesn't want to live like this anymore. Ask him to give me a way out." Anjing's words evoked sympathy in everyone's heart, how much suffering must she endure as someone who has lost all hope in life?

  "Quiet miss, as long as you let us inject Li Ling with the cell nucleus of God's arm, I believe that Li Ling can reach the power of SSS-class heteromorphic humans. This kind of human, there won't be even three in the world, and it will definitely be able to protect you completely." The low-pitched man said this much in one go, and started coughing incessantly.

  "I would rather take my own life than sacrifice Li Ling and gain decades of peace for myself." A quiet, bitter smile.

  Li Ling's eyebrows furrowed slightly, and the calm words made Li Ling want to quickly stand up and protect her, trying his best to recover his physical functions. However, the numbness in his body was hard to shake off. Li Ling tried to summon his inner energy, but due to his meridians being completely sealed by some kind of acupuncture, he couldn't move at all.

  They actually used such a high concentration of anesthetics and acupuncture to control me! Li Ling couldn't help but feel a bitter smile in her heart.

  "I don't know if there's a secret in the Twelve Stages of Jade Void Return to Qi that can help my body recover and move again." Li Ling no longer relied on his willpower to struggle, but instead devoted himself to studying all twelve qigong methods in Jade Void Return to Qi.

  Yu Xū Guī Qì Twelve Stages, the first three stages, Jing Qi Shen is a stage, collectively referred to as, Human Realm! And the Divine Stage is the last stage of the Human Realm.

  Because Li Ling has only reached the second stage of 'qi stage' so far, from the third stage of 'shen stage', he cannot achieve a deep understanding.

  Causing stagnation in the second stage 'qi stage' for over a decade!

  It was also a coincidence that Li Ling gained a preliminary understanding of the third and divine stages when his body completely lost its functions.

  What is called the divine level, is to abandon all consciousness of the body, including the so-called subconscious, and rely solely on a pure spiritual power to control one's bodily functions. This is a powerful spiritual force that is the strongest in the human realm. Those who have realized this are no longer just internal martial arts masters, but rather a level higher than internal martial arts masters, what is commonly referred to in the martial arts world as "the unity of heaven and man".
