Storm of Gods

Chapter 185 Taking Back What Was Lost

Seeing Celia's serious expression, Li Xin couldn't help but chuckle: "What are you talking about? Young Master Simmons is deep in thought and meditation."

Seeing that the other party didn't believe him, Li Xin continued, "Young Master Simmons is very energetic today. During the breaks between my sparring with him, we can also do some activities together. Anyone interested?"

"I'll do it, I'll do it! I've been thinking about this for the past few days and I've come up with a few tricks!" Little Red Roll Locke said excitedly.

"Then what are we waiting for? Let's go!" Li Xin flexed his wrists and stepped onto the field.

The little red scroll, burning with flames and exuding an imposing aura, charged towards Li Xin. The next second, the little red scroll spiraled upwards and hung on the wall.

"Who else? Young Master Simmons still has a little bit of rest time left," Li Xin asked with a smile. He added that getting some exercise was quite pleasant.

Everyone stared at each other in disbelief. Lancer stepped forward and said, "I'll do it!"

“Me too, Brother Li, one against two shouldn’t be a problem, right?” Celia said. “But you can’t attack me.”

"Alright, all of you come at me together." Li Xin also wanted to see the skill level of the sorcerers from the Holy Ze Academy.

Pyromancers can break through hidden formations and layouts, and can use spells to interfere with opponents in general combat. Of course, equipped with a Hextech gun, they can even fight against knights. Hextech has changed the role of pyromancers.

Celia, of course, didn't hold back. Her Hextech Gun, combined with Lancer's frontal attacks, would unleash spells whenever the opportunity arose. Spells were difficult to deal with, and couldn't be judged by material intuition. One either needed to be particularly knowledgeable about spells or have the ability to see the trajectory in order to dodge them.

Unfortunately, Li Xin possessed all of these abilities, making it impossible for Hextech bullets and spells to hit him. Despite Celia's interference, Li Xin still easily knocked Lancer away, and Lancer lay motionless on the ground after landing.

When Li Xin turned to look at Celitia, Celitia stopped loading bullets; her specially practiced rapid loading technique was simply too slow to be used.

"You guys practice, I'm going in to keep young master Simmons company," Li Xin said with a smile, his body warming up.

After Li Xin went inside, the members of the Holy Ze team in the base looked at each other in bewilderment. Lancer, who was lying on the ground, waved his hand, and Baraklee quickly came over and helped Lancer up, saying, "Gently, gently."

"It can't be that bad, does it hurt that much?"

"Damn, if he comes out again in a bit, it'll be your turn. Didn't you see Locke is still squatting there without saying a word?"

It's been so long, and Locke, who usually talks the most nonsense, is still squatting there. Damn it, this is truly heartbreaking. Even after recovering, his body is still numb.

But Locke remained unconvinced, struggling and baring his teeth, "I was just thinking."

Lancer was both amused and exasperated. "What kind of monster did the captain bring back? I didn't realize he was so powerful before."

“Yes, His Highness knows him too. Who is he?” Barakli asked curiously, and everyone looked at Celia.

Celia shrugged helplessly. "It's no use looking at me. All I know is that he came from there too. Only Simmons knows the specifics."

Everyone suddenly realized that what came out of that place was indeed extraordinary. Little Red Roll, who was squatting down, looked on with longing. How wonderful it would be to go to such a bizarre place!

When they returned to the base, Simmons was already ready. Li Xin smiled and said, "You're recovering quickly. This time, add a little more, and you add a little too."

Simmons's lips twitched. It seemed he had no choice but to either be killed by Didia or be trained to death by Li Xin.

"Come on, I am Simmons, destined to soar high!"

"Haha, remember this spirit, never forget it!"

With a whoosh, Li Xin's figure disappeared. Too lazy to pick up his weapon, he figured he had several more days to spare, so he decided to practice first.

When it's time to eat, the whole family should be together. In the restaurant, Simons, Lancer, and the others were all arm in arm, their relationship was great, but they all had bruises on their faces. Only Li Xin and Celia were relatively unharmed.

Li Xin and Sedilia carried all the meals. Everyone else was in pain even from the slightest movement, only refraining from complaining out of pride. Li Xin, on the other hand, was full of energy and high spirits, having worked up a sweat and experienced the pleasure brought by endorphins. After showering and eating his fill at the base, he went back to writing and making money. Hmph, sooner or later he'd reclaim his lost dignity!
Seeing the sudden fierceness in Li Xin's eyes, Simmons and the others couldn't help but shiver. "Ahem, Brother Li, is that it for today?" Li Xin nodded. "That's it for today. Tonight, remember to use your psionic energy to relax your muscles, otherwise you won't be able to move tomorrow. Tomorrow morning, Young Master will pick me up."

"Do you think he still has the energy? I'll go," Celia said, exasperated. "You bunch of people are really embarrassing. If I were a man, I'd wear him down!"

Everyone felt ashamed after Celia's words, but Little Red Roll pouted unconvinced, "I just didn't perform well. I'll be the main player tomorrow, Brother Li, don't go easy on me. I wasn't in the zone today!"

"Okay, I like people with ambition. Everyone, let's eat!" A fighting spirit must be encouraged.

After eating and drinking his fill, Li Xin left first. As soon as he left, the others slumped into their chairs. Damn it, they had been holding on by the last bit of their manhood, but now they were all deflated. They were all old acquaintances, and everyone knew each other. There was no need to pretend.

"If this keeps up, we'll be in Elysium before the boss and Didia even have their duel."

"We need to think of a way to get rid of him!"

"That's not a good idea. Brother Li is only doing this for our own good."

"Bullshit, I think he's having a blast. Anyway, let's beat him up tomorrow first, Celia, what do you say?"

"I think it's feasible. Otherwise, what about the dignity of our Holy Ze? Make proper arrangements tomorrow. You all get ready, I'll go pick him up and give him a formal Holy Ze welcome ceremony." Celia was always eager for chaos, mainly because she saw a bunch of guys getting beaten up so badly. "Simmons, what do you say?"

"Do whatever you want, good luck. I need to prepare properly," Simmons said. His mind was still on today's battle. Li Xin had almost entirely used distance to suppress him. A person who truly controls distance has a commanding presence. No matter how strong or powerful an attack or ability is, if it can't hit the opponent, it's useless. Moreover, it creates excellent opportunities for counterattacks. If he could get used to Li Xin's offensive and defensive rhythm, he would have a better chance when facing Didia.

Simmons actually laughed when he thought of this.

Celia and the others exchanged bewildered glances. Had their captain lost her mind?

Simmons finished his meal in a flash and limped away. He couldn't sleep; this was the best time to improve his body. This was something that only the Secret Fortress had before. Without absolute strength, one couldn't achieve his current state. Brother Li had a firm grasp on everyone's limits; he had reached the level of seeing through everything. It was just that Celia and the others didn't understand.

Li Xin returned to the inn and put his backpack aside. It was quite troublesome to carry, but he couldn't go without it either. The inn was a crowded place, and if he lost it, where would he go to complain? Fortunately, he didn't have much stuff.

“Li Li…Brother Li…Brother…”

The door was already open. Li Xin looked at Ma Liu and said decisively, "I'm here. What is it?"

Ma Liu pulled out an envelope, "Telegram..."

"My telegram, right? Okay, give it to me, thank you!" Li Xin quickly took it and patted Ma Liu on the shoulder. "No need to be polite. If there's nothing else, just say 'okay'."

"Okay!" Ma Liu said readily, then left satisfied.

Li Xin opened the envelope; it contained a telegram from Tianjing with a string of numbers on it.

Li Xin opened the drawer, took out a "Hextech Encyclopedia", and began writing down the numbers.

"Everyone at home is fine. There's a major operation going on in Heldan at night. It's unknown and extremely dangerous. We mustn't get involved."

The Night Patrol is planning a major operation in Heldan, and even with Casey's current status, she still doesn't know about it, which shows that the level of secrecy is extremely high. That's why she risked reminding Li Xin.

Li Xin burned the telegram and put the book back. He had several books in his drawer, which he would change each time. He had told Qi Badao about these books in advance. Qi Badao himself didn't know what they were for. He would take out the books when Casey asked him to. Given the situation on Daoyuan Continent, no one should have thought of this. He didn't want to underestimate the hidden forces, and it wouldn't hurt to be cautious.

The night patrolmen are taking action, but I'm just a nobody, so it probably doesn't really matter to me.

Li Xin sat down at the typewriter and started typing. Tap tap tap, I'm a little expert at typing.

He wants to reclaim his lost dignity!
