Myriad Paths

"Nine hundred and ninety-eight."

"nine hundred ninety-nine."

"one thousand!"

On the dock in the early morning, twelve-year-old Li Qi was helping to move goods.

This is the part-time job he found as a helper. How can I put it... It makes Li Qi feel nostalgic.

This is not only helping workers earn money, but also working hard and exercising their muscles.

Compared with finding equipment to exercise yourself, doing physical exercises is obviously much more cost-effective.

Normally, a 12-year-old boy should not practice like this, because it will hinder growth and cause him to not grow taller in the future. However, looking at Li Qi's appearance, there is no problem at all for him to be 18, and he already looks very tall. Stronger.

However, it was obvious that Li Qi did not abide by this rule. He used Kung Fu, although it was not a particularly sophisticated one.

There is no way, he can't remember or use the cutting-edge ones. This is completely beyond his current ability. Li Qi, including his thinking organ, is really just a mortal. The complexity of those top-notch martial arts techniques is beyond compare. Li Qi couldn't understand it right now, so he had no choice but to give up.

This is a restriction imposed by the inner demon that offsets the exchange with him, and I am afraid it will not be resolved until the outcome is determined.

But correspondingly, the inner demon should also have lost all abilities, and can only sit back and watch Li Qi struggle in the tribulation of reincarnation. If the struggle succeeds, it will be Li Qiying, and vice versa, it will be Li Qilosing.

However, Li Qi still doesn’t understand what the ‘goal’ of the Samsara Tribulation is.

According to the setting up of things like reincarnation tribulation, there will be a 'shengmen' in it, which is the goal. After completing this goal, you can escape.

And if you fail to complete it, you will naturally have to pay a price, you will be damaged, you will be constantly polished, and you will eventually die.

However, that is for the fourth and fifth grades. For the second grade, their health bar is too long, so it will be delayed for a long, long time.

Li Qi is not in a hurry, he is very patient, but...

He had a vague feeling.

Do you really have a long time?

If I had a long time, would my inner demons have such an affair with me? Is this what he tried so hard to do?

Could it be that I only have this life?

Some vigilance arose in Li Qi's heart. No matter how long the time was, he would live every life as if it was his last, looking for a way to break through the catastrophe of reincarnation.

"Li Qi!" At this time, Xingxue greeted Li Qi outside.

Xingxue seems to be in much better spirits now, mainly because Li Qizhen is very ambitious and has been using various means to subsidize his family's income.

Li Qi didn't show his savings because he just wanted to be a sensible child and didn't want to be a monster. Moreover, all his money was used to buy elixirs that could temper the body.

The cultivation of a martial artist is the most important thing. Your vitality and blood are filled with treasures from heaven and earth. Without enough food and medicine, forcibly practicing martial arts will only deplete your body and eventually train yourself to death.

Three points of training, seven points of eating, this is the situation of martial arts skills, and whether it is eating or practicing, one must persevere and cannot slack off at all.

Therefore, most of the money Li Qi earned was spent on purchasing various materials and elixirs online, and sometimes he even went out and purchased them in person in the name of traveling.

As for Xingxue, he only spent thousands of dollars every few months to improve his life, but this was enough to make Xingxue surprised and distressed.

Little Li Qicai has just started school. On the surface, he is actually helping others to earn money. The money must make him work very hard, right?

Li Qi got up from the ground and ran towards Xingxue: "Mom, what's wrong?"

"At school, the teacher recently told me that you don't have many friends, so don't work too hard." Xingxue wiped her son's sweat with some worry.

"It's nothing, that's not the reason. People in the school are too naive and there's nothing to do." Li Qi smiled and shook his head: "I can't play with them."

This is true, Li Qizhen has no interest in wasting time with those children.

He has to practice martial arts every day, exercise his body, and strengthen his energy and blood. He also has to find time to earn money, buy various elixirs, and prepare for breaking through to the ninth level. He is really not in the mood to play house with children.

Among them, making money cannot rely purely on finance. He still has to find opportunities to do some work, otherwise it will seem like his money has fallen from the sky.

However, from the perspective of outsiders, such a life is too hard, especially for a child.

Li Qi was just a 1.8-meter-old child. He had no friends and had to work as a helper every day. Moreover, Li Qi's grades were also very good. You can imagine how much hardship he suffered.

Although it is impossible for these things to stump Li Qi.

In the eyes of outsiders, the life of Li Qi and his son was like this.

There is no father, and both the mother and the children are working as helpers, but the children are upbeat, quick at work, have excellent grades, and are polite. The mother is also a kind person, so the neighbors around Jiefang have a good impression of them and will help them every day.

Generally speaking, it was a peaceful life. Li Qi estimated that such days would last until he was about fourteen years old. At the age of fourteen, he would be able to temper his five internal organs and break through to the ninth level.

After wiping the sweat, paying the wages, giving the money to the mother, and eating the breakfast she brought, the mother and son were talking and laughing as they prepared to go home.

After returning home, Li Qi naturally went to school, while Xingxue started preparing to open a store.

Yes, open a shop. Over the years, Xingxue has opened a tailoring stall downstairs of her house. The business is not bad, and the life of mother and son is much better than before.

Generally speaking, after Li Qi finishes school, he has a part-time job in the afternoon and will not go home until the evening. At that time, Xingxue will prepare dinner and wait for him to come back.

The life of the mother and son is so plain, and Li Qi actually enjoys it.

However, there is a little change today.

Li Qi frowned slightly and saw a few gangsters squatting on his tailor stall.

"Hey, you're back?" The gangsters stood up with sticks in their hands.

Xingxue immediately stood in front of Li Qi, looked at the gangsters, and said politely: "Brothers, what are you doing?"

"Oh, it's you, right? Didn't I tell you a few days ago that you are not allowed to set up a stall without consent in this place." The gangsters said impatiently.

"Didn't I pay the stall fee? Is there any misunderstanding?" Xingxue was a little puzzled, but still asked with a stiff smile.

"Where did you pay the stall fee? Look carefully, you paid it to Quan Sanhui before, but now this street is not under their control. Remember, pay the stall fee to our two dragon heads in the future, and make up for it." The gangsters said casually while flipping through the fabrics on the stall.

"This... I just paid it two days ago, and now I don't have cash--" Xingxue was embarrassed.

For this kind of thing, according to Li Qi's character, it's actually no big deal, just pay it, and the money is nothing. Li Qi is actually richer than imagined, and it would be best if he can just send it away.

As a second-grade master, Li Qi can remain calm even when facing a madman who destroys the world and massacres billions of people. Just a few gangsters can't touch anything at all. He can easily analyze the situation and know what to do to best meet his needs.

Now Li Qi's need is to spend the days before the ninth grade in a stable manner, and he should not cause trouble. These stall fees are not a big deal for Xingxue, but they are nothing for Li Qi.

However, for some reason, he suddenly felt a nameless anger in his heart.

A rage tried to break through Li Qi's "reason".

This made Li Qi frown slightly.

"Hey! What the hell is your expression? Are you very unhappy?" The gangsters seemed to see Li Qi's frown and jumped up immediately. Two or three of them took sticks, overturned the stall, and then used the sticks to press against Li Qi's forehead.

Li Qi grabbed the stick with his backhand, snatched it directly, and then hit the other person's hand with a backhand stick.

Before he even let out a wail, Li Qi had already rushed to the next person.

With a burst of energy, he punched the other person's liver.

With just one punch, the person fainted.

Another gangster just reacted, but Li Qi's speed was like teleportation, rushing in front of him and punching him in the liver again.

In less than half a second, all three people were lying on the ground, only one person was howling, and the other two fainted.

Xingxue was so scared that she couldn't speak.

"Mom, please ask for leave from school for me." Li Qi put down his bag.

Xingxue was about to persuade Li Qi and wanted to hold him back, but Li Qi immediately said to her: "Don't worry, I know my limits."

Li Qi has always been very opinionated, and Xingxue knew that she couldn't argue with him, so she didn't say anything, just held Li Qi back and didn't let him go.

Li Qi smiled and pulled his hand out, saying: "Don't worry, Mom, I know my limits, you just wait at home, remember to lock the door and close the windows."

After speaking, Li Qi put down his things and walked to the still awake gangster.

He was just hit on the hand by Li Qi just now, so he could still move.

"Let's go, lead the way."

As he said that, he carried the other person out.

At least in front of Xingxue, he should be a little calmer.

His capacity is enough to accommodate a lot of emotions, and not showing emotions should be a basic skill, but now he finds that in this state, emotions can easily affect him, as if he is really a mortal.

This emotion was so contagious, as if something was urging Li Qi, forcing him to "get angry, get angry, it's time, you must get angry."

Li Qi knew that there must be something fishy about this, so he was ready to follow his emotions to see what was going on. Was it the inner demon urging him to "act"?

This made Li Qi suspicious.

If it was the inner demon forcing Li Qi to get angry, it was too ugly and too easy to be detected, so that Li Qi felt that the inner demon could not do such a thing.

But on the other hand, the anger in his heart was real, and Li Qi did not have the ability to "isolate thoughts" now.

For example, when Shen Shuibi was in the fourth rank, he could carefully examine every thought and every idea of ​​his, and then delete the ones he didn't want, leaving the ones he thought were okay.

But Li Qi couldn't do it now, but he was not so angry that he was blinded by anger.

He didn't care about any organizations like the Three Powers Association and the Two Dragon Heads.

As of now, there is no such thing as superhuman in this world, and the world record is basically kept at 100 meters in 10 seconds.

To be honest, Li Qi can now run 100 meters in just five seconds.

He is a standard, uncompromising superhuman, and at least he must be at the level of Captain America. To deal with these little hooligans, he can completely beat them with two big bastards. Although this will cause his peaceful life to be disrupted, it doesn't matter.

Li Qi mainly wants to figure out the source of his anger.

Walking all the way outside, the little hooligans gradually calmed down from their fear.

He is just a middle school student. Although he is a little bigger, his family has no power. What is there to be afraid of?

He immediately became tough again: "Do you know who is behind our two leaders? "

"I don't know. Then please tell me who it is?" Li Qi asked politely.

This made the little gangster speechless.

Why does this middle school student look really interested? What is he afraid of?

"I tell you! If you mess with us, you and your mother will have a bad end!"

"Oh, how will you have a bad end?"

"I will find my brothers to kill you and your mother!"

"Okay, where is your brother?"

Li Qi grabbed the other's injured hand and kept squeezing it, asking him to lead the way.

The other wanted to break free, but his hand was really painful. In the end, he probably felt that the situation was stronger than him, so he didn't say anything and really started to lead the way.

As long as he was taken to the base camp, those dozens of brothers, with knives and sticks, couldn't kill a middle school student?

After walking for a while, they came to a nightclub.

The nightclub is closed during the day, and you can only enter through the back door.

After entering, it is as dark and cramped as at night. The dance hall is empty, but there are still some people inside, some doing odd jobs in the wine cellar, and some in the back and upstairs offices.

Even these vibrant social groups need clerical work. Those who only know how to fight and kill cannot gain a foothold in the underworld. They need to manage relationships, do accounts, and calculate costs. These all require means and knowledge.

Therefore, these little hooligans can only be thugs forever.

They can only be the lowest level of gangsters. If they can't go up, they can't even be gangsters without studying.

After entering, this little hooligans began to cry!

"Brothers! Someone is kicking the door!"

He shouted, and then saw more than a dozen people suddenly rushing out from upstairs and downstairs, some holding knives, and some holding sticks.

"Who?! Is it the Quan Sanhui people coming!?" Several strong men who looked like thugs also rushed out.

These strong men look much more oppressive than the little hooligans. They should be characters like Red Stick, not ordinary chickens.

Li Qi let go: "No, I'm the only one."

"Chicken head, you are a fucking retard. You were beaten like this by one person, and you brought him back!?" The strong men cursed.

But the next second, the strong man flew up.

Li Qi is not here to reason.

The nameless anger in his heart has gradually become more intense and boiling, and he must pour it out.

He can feel that there are emotions controlling him, and the source of these emotions is very strange.

But... it doesn't hurt to give it a try. (End of this chapter)
