My Endless Life

This time, the fog zone stayed in the safe zone for longer than expected.

After Li Qi and Ronny entered, they stayed there for three or four hours, and the fog showed no sign of dispersing.

This proves that if the fog comes again at most twice or at least once, Lupino City will be completely integrated with the fog.

The streets once faded away in color, and the familiar buildings became dilapidated.

Ronnie followed Li Qi, looking at the familiar and unfamiliar scenery around him, and clenched his fists.

"It's all because of the Light Chasing Society..."

His voice shook and he gritted his teeth.

He completely changed from a sunny and cheerful boy to a gloomy character.

The death of a familiar person is indeed enough to change a person's character, but Li Qi originally thought that Ronnie would always maintain a sunny and cheerful personality.

After all, most of the protagonists are like this.

For example, a certain Seventh Generation, such as a certain New Yonko... the protagonists of traditional hot-blooded comics are almost like this.

But Ronnie doesn't seem to be.

This made Li Qi a little disappointed, but he could understand it. After all, reality and comics are always different.

During the walk into the foggy area, Li Qi had already informed Ronnie about the Light Chasing Club.

He wouldn't be like Carol, who knew everything but kept hiding it from him.

Since Li Qi decided to train Ronnie and experiment on him with the special refining method he created, he would tell him everything.

Li Qi did not hide anything about the Light Chasing Club, the difference between the fog zone and the safe zone, or the making of the relics.

Well, except for one thing.

That's the fact that Emma isn't dead yet.

After reaching a deal with Emma that day, Li Qi first carried out part of the 'work'.

That is to alleviate Emma's monsterization.

He replaced most of Emma's alienated parts with relic metal, just like mirror flowers, and at the same time temporarily created alchemy props that applied "suggestion" to allow Emma to maintain her humanity.

So now Emma is alive.

And it's in this foggy area.

It's just that her appearance is no longer the same as before.

But at least she's alive.

Li Qi didn't tell Ronnie this because of Emma's idea.

Emma doesn't plan to meet Ronnie until she is completely restored to a 'human' state.

After all, Emma was also half of his student, and Li Qi always had to respect her opinion.

Of course, wanting to test how far Ronnie could go driven by hatred was one of the reasons why Li Qi kept it secret.

Listening to Ronnie's gnashing of teeth, Li Qi said softly:

"I don't know much about the Light Chasing Society, but according to the information I got, their headquarters should be located in the fog area on the fourth floor."

"The fourth floor..."

"Yes, do you want to go?"

"Think! Teacher, you will take me there, right?"

Ronnie answered without hesitation and then asked Li Qi.

Li Qi smiled and said:

"I will take you, but not now, you are still too weak."

"Teacher! I..."

Hearing what Li Qi said, Ronnie suddenly became anxious. He really wanted to say that he could become stronger quickly and be strong enough to compete with the people of the Light Chasing Society.

But before he could say anything, he heard Li Qi say:

"In three days at most, I will follow the exploration team to the deeper fog area. If you want to follow, that is the only chance. But in three days... can you be promoted from the mist level to the heavy fog level?"

"..."

Li Qi's question instantly silenced Ronnie.

Three days…

Not to mention three days, he might not be able to pass the heavy fog level assessment even if given three months.

After all, there is a residual fog level before the heavy fog level, and he is not like Li Qi, who has the strength to transcend levels.

"Can't, right?"

"I...I..."

Ronnie stuttered about what to say, but Li Qi stopped him and continued:

"According to the normal operation, you are indeed not qualified to join the exploration team, but... nothing is absolute. I have a way to let you go with me, provided... you can endure the pain."

"I can!"

Ronnie answered without hesitation:

"As long as I can go to the foggy area and avenge Emma! I can do anything!"

"Even if I let you die?"

"Even if you let me die!!"

Ronnie growled.

In order to avenge Emma, ​​he was desperate.

Li Qi's smile deepened a little. He turned his head and put his hand on Ronnie's shoulder and said:

"Very good. Then be prepared. The next training... may be very painful."

Seeing Li Qi's smile, even though Ronnie was ready, he still couldn't help but shudder.

For a moment, Ronnie wondered if he had agreed too hastily.

…

The method that Li Qi taught Ronnie to become stronger was the 'qi refining method' that he improved based on the magic power refining method.

Or according to a more fantasy term, it is the ‘Inner Qi Gong Method’.

By constructing a special circuit in the body and operating it according to a certain route, in a special way, the total amount of Qi in the body can be increased without entering the fog zone.

It's just that the progress of this method is relatively slow. Li Qi stayed in the safe zone for several years before he only reached the first level peak.

After going to the fog area several times, I successfully broke through the first level and reached the second level.

But no matter how the progress is, this is indeed a way to improve Qi without entering the fog area.

The premise is that you have to have a relic in your hand.

Ronnie is the only one among Professor Li Qi's students who has mastered Qi.

Originally, Li Qi planned to let Ronnie try to build a circuit to see if this way of refining Qi is unique to him.

Now it's just putting his ideas into action.

It has to be said that Ronnie is worthy of being a person favored by fate. Under Li Qi's high-pressure education and hatred for the Light Chasing Society, Ronnie mastered the method of Qi circulation in just one day.

With the help of Li Qi, he successfully built a Qi circuit in his body.

Although there is only one, and the total amount of Qi that can be transported is not much.

But he did succeed.

This also proves that Li Qi's idea is correct.

No matter which world he is in, as long as that world has special energy, he can use a similar way to circulate energy to improve himself.

But perhaps it is limited by the rules of the world, and there will be a subtle difference from the original circuit when constructing the circuit.

Simply put, this method needs to be improved.

However, whether it is improved or not is something to be done in the future. The second step that Li Qi is going to take now is to teach Ronnie magic.

See if Ronnie can learn the magic and knight skills in his previous life.

In this regard, Ronnie's learning progress is extremely slow, or even not at all.

He does not understand what the "runes", "spells" and "circulation of qi" that Li Qi said are.

But in order to be able to follow Li Qi into the fog area, he still forced himself to remember these.

In his painful study, time came to the night of the third day.

...

Ronnie, who finished studying for the day, perfunctorily dealt with Rumi's questions, and fell asleep directly on the bed.

Li Qi's training method for him is very harsh.

Because there is only one circuit in his body, if he wants to quickly increase the total amount of qi in his body, he can only use other methods.

The method that Li Qi thought of was the training method for knights in his previous life.

Training desperately, squeezing the magic power in the body, and obtaining a large amount of magic power in a short time in this way.

Therefore, Ronnie is in pain every day now, because Li Qi really trains him to death.

Ronnie has experienced this kind of training from Li Qi before, but at that time Li Qi's healing magic was only level one, and he also paid attention to moderation during training.

Now that his healing magic has reached level two and he can cast more healing magic, he has no idea how to write the word "moderation".

That's why Ronnie fell asleep as soon as he came back.

After all, physical injuries can be recovered by healing magic, but mental injuries... can only be cured by sleep.

Ronnie went through the past two days like this.

But today... things have changed a little bit.

He saw "Li Qi" in his dream again.

"Teacher, I'm not lazy!!!"

After seeing Li Qi in his dream, Ronnie almost reflexively held his head with his hands and shouted loudly.

After a few days of training, his gloomy personality seemed to have been wiped out a lot, and he looked a little bit like the jumpy and brainless person he used to be.

At this moment, Ronnie was half squatting and trembling, thinking desperately that he might be abused unilaterally by the "doll" next to the teacher.

But after holding his head and trembling for a while, Ronnie realized something.

"No! I have finished training. Didn't I go back to the room to rest? Where is this?!"

He stood up instantly and looked at the "Li Qi" in front of him: "You... are you really the teacher?"

Looking at the other party's golden eyes that were exactly the same as Li Qi, Ronnie began to become alert.

The other party opened his mouth slightly, then shook his head gently, and whispered:

"I... just used you, the image that impressed me the most..."

"Ah?"

What do you mean by 'using the image that impressed me the most'? Isn't the image that impressed me the most Emma? !

Ronnie in the dream was very jumpy, but perhaps the training in the past few days made him smarter, or perhaps the so-called law of 'blackening is ten times stronger' made Ronnie's mind much clearer.

After experiencing the initial fear of Li Qi, Ronnie quickly reacted and asked the person in front of him with a cold face:

"Who are you?! Are you from the Light Chasing Society?"

"Light Chasing Society...? What is it...?"

The confused expression on the face of the person in front of him did not seem fake. He tilted his head and thought for a while, and replied:

"I don't know what the Light Chasing Society is. I only know... I should be... dead."

"?!" Hearing the other party say this, Ronnie's back was instantly soaked with cold sweat: "What... What do you mean you are dead? Are you... a ghost?"

That's right, Ronnie is afraid of ghosts.

Even more afraid of ghosts than Emma.

This may be because he heard too many ghost stories when he was a child. In short, he is not afraid of monsters in the fog area, but afraid of invisible and intangible ghosts.

Ronnie thought he had encountered a ghost, but he didn't expect the other party's origin to be more magical than a ghost.

He only heard the other party say:

"No... I mean, I should have become a relic."

As he said that, his body, which used the image of Li Qi, changed for a while, and finally turned into a boy Ronnie had never seen before.

The boy looked down at his palm and confirmed:

"Yes, I have become a relic."

That’s what the boy said.

Ronnie also thought of something after hearing his words.

Teacher Li Qi told him that relics…are all made of life, including a person’s life and soul.

If that’s the case, then the boy in front of him…is he the real body of his special relic crystal?

He,

is the crystal?
