Chapter 12 Inheritance and Letting Go

Gradually, Li Dong became completely quiet. It was silent and even his breathing became barely audible.

Time passed slowly, and Li Dong suddenly opened his eyes: "Where is the so-called cosmic energy? Why can't I feel it? I was so peaceful just now. Could it be that, as the document records, geniuses also need a day to sense it successfully?"

"Perhaps I have accumulated experience for a long time and polished my foundation to perfection, but my talent is not that strong. I am the kind of person with weak talent? It takes a year or half a year to sense the energy of the universe?"

"try again!"

Li Dong closed his eyes, and his breathing slowly calmed down again. He was completely relaxed and silent.

"still none!"

Half an hour later, Li Dong opened his eyes again.

It was only at this moment that he realized that the first step in cultivating genetic energy, "induction", was extremely difficult.

"Try again!"

Li Dong slowly calmed down his anxiety, looked forward to it in his heart, then closed his eyes, calmed his heart again, and then sensed the cosmic energy.

Time passed slowly, and in the almost meditative silence of the mind, Li Dong's thoughts also slowed down.

gradually……

Li Dong felt like he was about to fall asleep!
And in this state of half asleep and half awake, Li Dong seemed to have forgotten everything this time, even forgetting to sense the energy of the universe.

Slowly, he vaguely sensed a trace of breath passing through the soles of his feet, the palms of his hands and the Baihui acupoint on the top of his head, and at a slow speed, gradually flowing into his body.

"It's so comfortable!"

Li Dong suddenly woke up from a half-asleep state, and then he became excited: "It's cosmic energy!"

All of a sudden, the previous sensation disappeared completely.

Li Dong naturally did not expect that he could vaguely sense the energy of the universe.

"Haha, it must be, I must be sensing the energy of the universe!"

Li Dong was pleasantly surprised. He believed that he must have sensed the energy of the universe just now, but the absorption was too slow.

"That's what it feels like!"

Li Dong closed his eyes and tried to sense the energy of the universe.

His breathing slowed down and his mind became quiet, then his entire consciousness was completely focused on the soles of his feet, the palms of his hands, and the Baihui acupoint on the top of his head, trying to sense the slightest breath that his body had slowly absorbed.

In this state, Li Dong's consciousness became hazy again. He seemed to feel that breath, but also seemed not to sense it.

Slowly, the feeling became clearer.

That comfortable atmosphere appeared again!
A very faint and tiny breath floated in the air, and only when it approached the five hearts did it begin to penetrate in, at an incredibly slow speed.

“This is cosmic energy!”

Li Dong's consciousness was completely focused on the five hearts, and he tried hard to emit a thought of "absorbing". Suddenly, the speed of absorption by the "five hearts" began to accelerate, and soon it reached a hundred times!
If at the beginning, the cosmic energy was put into a leaky water pipe, seeping out slowly bit by bit, and now it is as if the water pipe suddenly opened, like a stream, continuously pouring into Li Dong's body.

"Well……"

A shudder from the depths of his soul made Li Dong tremble involuntarily.

The cosmic energies that poured into the body quickly began to be devoured by cells that were like they had been hungry for a long time. The 'five hearts' were like five huge water pipes, continuously transporting the cosmic energy in like running water.

As the cosmic energy poured into the cells, it was quickly absorbed by the mitochondria within the cells, engulfing and releasing waves of strange energy. These energies were quickly absorbed by all parts of the cells, and the entire cell itself immediately began to undergo earth-shaking changes!

The DNA, the genetic blueprint, also begins to undergo subtle changes, and at the same time, the cells begin to divide rapidly, splitting in two.

Time passes minute by minute...

Li Dong's body also began to change, whether it was the skin on the surface or the muscles, bones, and even the cells and genes of the body. This change was the evolution of life and an optimization of life genes!
"According to the cultivation method, the human body has never consciously absorbed cosmic energy since birth. Therefore, it has always been in a state of hunger. The first time it absorbs cosmic energy is the time it absorbs the most, and it is also the time when its strength increases the fastest!"

Li Dong felt that essential changes were taking place throughout his body from the inside out.

The entire universe is filled with endless cosmic energy. The amount that Li Dong personally absorbs now can be completely ignored.

But for Li Dong personally, this was the most amazing improvement he had ever made since he was a child!
The bone density throughout the body is increasing, the volume of cells themselves is shrinking, and a large number of cells are dividing into two.

The muscles throughout the body began to optimize, and naturally Li Dong's body weight continued to increase.

Life is undergoing an unprecedented leap!
Gradually, the sky outside had darkened, and the entire training area was naturally dim. At this moment, in the hall downstairs, Li Cangmin had come back leisurely with his hands behind his back. His face was ruddy, and his whole body was radiant, obviously having had a good time.

This was the proudest moment in Li Cangmin's life, for no other reason than that his son brought him so much honor.

"How is it? Have you benefited from your son's help?"

Wang Linshu was sitting on the sofa knitting a sweater and said without raising her head.

As an old couple who have been together for many years, they naturally know what kind of person their old man is.

"hey-hey!"

Li Cangmin smiled innocently and could no longer pretend to be calm. He sat down next to Wang Linshu excitedly and whispered, "This brat is really amazing. This time, he shocked everyone. The punching strength test was 3898KG, 3898KG! I was stunned when I heard it. I didn't expect that he surpassed me without saying anything!"

After Li Cangmin finished speaking, he had an expression of both relief and loss.

"okay!"

Wang Linshu laughed and scolded: "You old man, you are jealous of your son. Your son said today that you can retire in the future and he will be responsible for supporting the family!"

"How can this be done!"

Li Cangmin jumped up at once, puffing his beard and glaring, "I'm not old yet, and I'll be a senior soldier soon. Do I need this brat to replace me?"

"You old man, why can't your son take your place?"

Wang Linshu was unhappy when he heard this. He knelt up and shouted, "As soon as my son came back, he immediately practiced the Five Hearts Upwards to Heaven Cultivation Method to increase his strength so that he could fight in the wilderness for you in the future. This made me feel at ease. What else can you do? You are going to piss me off to death!"

"It's enough to worry about one person. Are you going to go to the wilderness to fight with both of you and me, leaving me to worry alone?"

Wang Linshu said this and started crying.

Every time Li Cangmin went to the wilderness area over the years, it was the moment when she was most worried, but she couldn't cry because she still had to take care of her son and make Li Cangmin feel at ease.

This kind of frustration, this kind of inner pressure, has never been expressed before.

After Li Dong showed his pursuit and talent for being a warrior, Wang Linshu became worried all the time. It is true that warriors are what everyone pursues, but who can understand the worries of being a warrior's family member.

Now Li Dong has embarked on this path, destined to become a warrior, and he also understands his own heart and tries his best to show stronger strength.

Wang Linshu has accepted all of this, although she is extremely worried in her heart. This is a mother's instinct, but she also understands that with the talent her son has shown, he is more secure than his father.

The son inherits his father's business, takes on the responsibility of the family, and lets his father rest in peace. No one can say anything about this.

But who would have thought that Li Cangmin actually wanted to go fight in the wilderness, which completely made Wang Linshu collapse.

"Wife, you...don't cry!"

Li Cangmin panicked instantly. He quickly pulled out tissues. As a warrior, he was clumsy and took them several times before he pulled out a few tissues and hurried to wipe Wang Linshu.

"I won't go. I've given up on my old age, okay? Son... my son will be better than me in the future, so let him go in my place, okay? I won't go..."

Li Cangmin also started crying. At this moment, he finally understood how worried his wife and son had been about him over the years.

"Uuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu"

Wang Linshu cried for a while, then stopped and said with a choked voice: "I really don't want my son to go to the wilderness to fight, but I know this is responsibility, this is fate. Every warrior has the responsibility to protect mankind. I knew that my son had started high school... I knew that this day would come sooner or later, and now it has finally come!"

"Fortunately, my son is sensible enough and much stronger than you. It is the best choice for him to replace you!"

Wang Linshu cried and cried, and finally seemed to have vented all the worries and fears she had accumulated over the years. Only then did she really stop crying and then slowly fell asleep.

"You've suffered so much over the years!"

Li Cangmin patiently and gently wiped the tears from his wife's face, his heart filled with tenderness. At this moment, he understood his own adventure of life and death. He thought he had tried his best to protect his family, and was proud that he had made a contribution to mankind at the same time. However, there was still a kind and weak woman at home who was worried about him.

"Smelly boy..."

Slowly covering his wife with a blanket, Li Cangmin quietly went up to the third floor and immediately saw Li Dong, who was half asleep and half awake, with his five hearts facing the sky.

"Is this...sensing and absorbing cosmic energy?"

Li Cangmin took a deep breath. Although he already knew how talented his son was today, he realized now that he had underestimated him. It had only been a short time, but he had already sensed and absorbed the energy of the universe.

"Maybe Lin Shu is right. It would be better if my son took my place!"

At this moment, Li Cangmin completely let go of his obsession. He understood that he could just retire with peace of mind. Li Dong was such a genius. The monsters he could kill in the wilderness were beyond his reach even if he tried his best!
