Super Soldier in the City-Chapter 1263 - 1313: Powerful

Although his body was immobile, Li Yifei’s thoughts remained active. He quickly calmed down. Judging from the current physical response, apart from being unable to move, everything else seemed normal. The True Qi within their bodies surged through each other’s systems—not in a destructive way, but more akin to mutual integration.

Though Li Yifei felt as if even his eyeballs couldn’t move, the joy and tenderness reflected in his gaze immediately reassured Jiang Ningxiang. She also sensed the unique characteristics of this True Qi, her eyes similarly filled with warmth and happiness.

The two remained embraced, allowing the True Qi to churn endlessly within their bodies. No one knew how long had passed before the energy gradually settled, finally flowing serenely through their meridians.

Yes, that’s it—this True Qi. Now, there was only one single stream of energy; it was neither Li Yifei’s nor Ningxiang’s, but rather a shared True Qi. Identical in every sense, it coursed through their bodies, indistinguishable as to whose it belonged.

"I now possess Innate Vital Energy," the thought popped into Li Yifei’s mind.

Immediately, Jiang Ningxiang’s voice rang within his consciousness: "Brother Li, I also have your True Qi now. This is wonderful."

"Ah, we can actually communicate through consciousness?" Li Yifei was even more astonished.

"Ah, so this is consciousness communication. No wonder I’m hearing you without any words being spoken."

"Exactly! This is truly miraculous—never would I have imagined such outcomes from Dual Cultivation. Haha, don’t let your thoughts wander. What are you worrying about now?"

"Ah... naughty Brother Li, stop that! I won’t have any privacy left."

"You’re right—how do we block it, then?"

"Why would I know? Wasn’t this your idea?"

"Oh, then maybe if we stop using True Qi, it’ll cease. But True Qi... huh, I can move now." This last line was spoken aloud by Li Yifei.

"Ah, I can move too! Brother Li, since our Dual Cultivation succeeded, quickly retract your True Qi."

Li Yifei immediately severed the connection between their True Qi, stopping its circulation altogether. Chuckling, he said, "Now that our cultivation succeeded, shouldn’t we celebrate properly?"

"Brother Li... I... I want you," Jiang Ningxiang admitted shyly, her cheeks glowing red as she bravely expressed her feelings.

"Alright, Brother Li will make you a happy woman today," Li Yifei vowed.

"Yes, Brother Li, I’m yours now. Take me, make me yours," Jiang Ningxiang murmured softly.

This time, without relying on True Qi, the pair connected fully in a physical and emotional union. Although it was Jiang Ningxiang’s first time, her meridians had been strengthened during Dual Cultivation, healing past injuries in the process. As a result, there were no difficulties, and she fully experienced the bliss of their intimacy.

Over half an hour later, they finally calmed down. Jiang Ningxiang nestled in Li Yifei’s arms, her face radiating happiness and exuding a lazy charm like a contented kitten.

"Brother Li, I’m finally your woman now," Jiang Ningxiang whispered gently.

"Yes, that’s right. Thank you, my dear wife. I now possess Innate Vital Energy, too," Li Yifei said as he lovingly stroked Jiang Ningxiang’s hair, his heart brimming with indescribable excitement.

"Thankfully, we didn’t fail. Otherwise, this Dual Cultivation would have been for nothing," Jiang Ningxiang playfully winked.

"Even if it hadn’t succeeded, this wouldn’t have been in vain! At the very least, I gained an incredibly beautiful and adorable wife, which is far more precious, isn’t it?"

Jiang Ningxiang’s gaze turned tender as water. Lightly biting her lip, she said, "Brother Li, could we... do it again?"

"Oh? On the first day, you’re already getting greedy, huh?" Li Yifei teased her with a gentle flick to her nose.

Still slightly shy, Jiang Ningxiang pursed her lips and replied, "Who told you to make me feel like I’m flying? I want that feeling again."

"Alright, alright. If my wife wants it, I must fulfill her wishes. Otherwise, what kind of husband would I be?"

That night, Li Yifei and Jiang Ningxiang were utterly indulgent, engaging countless times in passionate intimacy. In the end, they only managed to sleep for less than four hours. Despite this, they both woke up refreshed, their vitality unaffected by indulgence.

Li Yifei understood that this was one of the benefits of Dual Cultivation. Even without using True Qi later on, their synchronized cultivation ensured that physical intimacy wouldn’t drain their energy excessively—instead, it replenished True Qi. This meant that no matter how frequently they expressed their affection, neither of them would experience any negative consequences.

After waking, the two went to see Murong Yuanqing and Yao Lingfu. Upon noticing their vibrant energy, Murong Yuanqing laughed heartily and said, "Congratulations to you both!"

Li Yifei and Jiang Ningxiang immediately bowed deeply to Murong Yuanqing and Yao Lingfu, speaking in unison: "Our deepest gratitude to the two elders for your immense guidance."

Murong Yuanqing waved his hand dismissively, saying, "This was your destiny, achieved through your perseverance. I merely provided a little nudging along the way."

Li Yifei responded humbly, "If it weren’t for Elder Murong’s guidance, I wouldn’t have discovered Happy Zen, nor would I have obtained its missing portion. Even if I had, without your perfection of the method, who knows how long it would’ve taken us to succeed."

Murong Yuanqing laughed again and said, "Enough of this talk. Let me test how much stronger you’ve become now that you possess Innate Vital Energy. That’s what truly interests me." With a sudden leap, he moved into the courtyard.

Yao Lingfu quickly followed, while Li Yifei and Jiang Ningxiang exchanged a glance before also leaping forward. Li Yifei approached Murong Yuanqing, saluted with clasped fists, and said, "Please advise me, Elder Murong."

"Stop with the pleasantries. I’m too impatient for that!" Murong Yuanqing said as he preemptively launched a powerful palm strike toward Li Yifei.

The strike carried a level of force reminiscent of when Li Yifei faced a master’s attack back on Mount Kunlun. The pressure was so immense that it seemed nearly unavoidable.

However, for Li Yifei, the tension wasn’t as overwhelming as it had been on Kunlun. Whereas he’d felt cornered there, now his flowing True Qi provided countless ways to counter. What thrilled him most was his counter-strike—a direct, forceful palm thrust meeting Murong Yuanqing’s attack head-on.

As their palms collided, Li Yifei staggered back several steps while Murong Yuanqing’s body lightly swayed. The elder burst into delighted laughter, exclaiming, "Impressive! Impressive!"

Li Yifei also couldn’t contain his joy. Such a strike would have been inconceivable for him to endure before their Dual Cultivation. Though he’d been pushed back and his True Qi stirred momentarily, he experienced no deeper issues. Circulating his Qi swiftly, he declared loudly, "Pardon my offense, Elder Murong!"

"Don’t hold back, boy!" Murong Yuanqing responded enthusiastically, stepping agily to launch another assault.

The two were soon locked in combat. In the past, Murong Yuanqing had sparred with Li Yifei mainly to teach him intricate moves. Now, however, Yuanqing fully unleashed his formidable True Qi, making this battle far different from any prior exchanges.

Murong Yuanqing’s attacks were extremely fierce. Each move, while seemingly straightforward, carried tremendous power.

Li Yifei experimented cautiously, discovering that while Yuanqing’s pressure remained intense, it wasn’t unbearable. He adjusted his approach, blending his True Qi with his techniques—not seeking dominance but striving for resilience.

"This young man really isn’t simple, managing to hold his own against Murong for so long. Little Ningxiang, come here, let me see how much you’ve improved too," Yao Lingfu said, gesturing toward Jiang Ningxiang.

Realizing this was an excellent opportunity, Jiang Ningxiang politely said, "Elder Yao, my skills aren’t great. Please go easy on me."

"Haha, give it your best shot. I won’t harm you."

"Thank you, Elder," Jiang Ningxiang replied sweetly, leaping forward with an initial strike toward Yao Lingfu.

Though Jiang Ningxiang now shared True Qi with Li Yifei, her practical combat experience was lacking compared to his. Her movements lacked the adaptability Yifei demonstrated. Yao Lingfu, however, didn’t exert much pressure; she simply wanted to observe Ningxiang’s True Qi transformations, allowing her to freely display her abilities.

After about ten minutes, the four individuals ceased their actions. Murong Yuanqing praised loudly, "Amazing, amazing! Yifei, after just one day of Dual Cultivation, your advancements have been extraordinary. This is truly remarkable—if this pace continues, you may soon far surpass me." ƒгeewёbnovel.com

Li Yifei replied modestly, "I think this initial breakthrough was due to fusion with Innate Vital Energy yesterday, which significantly elevated my True Qi’s quality. Any further improvements will require increasing its volume, which can’t happen overnight."

Yao Lingfu nodded and remarked, "This young man has great potential. Always maintaining such clarity of self-awareness is no small feat. Still, I must say—this qualitative change in True Qi will indeed accelerate your progression. Overtaking us isn’t a question of ’if,’ but ’when,’ and I imagine it won’t take long. Truly, the Yangtze River waves push forward relentlessly, replacing the old with the new."

Murong Yuanqing nodded repeatedly, fully agreeing. He understood Li Yifei’s current strength well; even twenty years ago, Yuanqing himself hadn’t reached this level. Despite the subsequent two decades of advancement, Yuanqing’s own growth had been minimal. It was clear that Li Yifei’s abilities now weren’t far behind him.
