True Solution of the Sword Dao

The scorching sun pierced through the clouds, like a pillar connecting heaven and earth.

Lin Fei lay quietly on the grass, gazing up at the sky. Yan Shi’s fate had been sealed long ago. Within the realm of the Sword Dao True Solution, beneath the dual wings of the Divine Beast, all his attacks were like illusions, unable to touch Lin Fei. He could only watch helplessly as his essence was slowly absorbed by Lin Fei, stripping away memories of emotion, and all memories of Martial Arts turned into new nourishment under the light of the Divine Beast, merging into Lin Fei’s memories.

"Hiss...." Tiny blue flames floated around Lin Fei, countless black sword shadows swiftly turning into black ash and vanishing with the wind. These were merely energy forms condensed by Yan Shi’s Potential Energy. They were the imprints of the sword left by this land from ancient times. Now, without a condenser, they naturally ceased to exist. The specks of blue fire continued to escape from Lin Fei’s body. These were Yan Shi’s Potential Energy. Lin Fei could not absorb them. The Potential Energy itself is a product of extremely pure Essence Qi, representing the most powerful will condensed over a lifetime. If truly absorbed recklessly, the ultimate result would be Yan Shi taking over Lin Fei, truly resurrected. But letting it dissipate wasn’t without benefits. This dissipating Potential Energy would vastly enhance Lin Fei’s physical quality to achieve a higher qualitative transformation.

The slower the process, the deeper the transformation. Lin Fei just lay there, countless blue flames continuously scattering from his body, then disappearing into the surrounding air. Like blue stars at first, these flames could maintain a burning state, but later, they became just tiny specks of light, like blue fine sand.

The transformation was unbearable. Lin Fei clenched his teeth tightly, feeling a complex mix of itchy and painful signals continuously coming from his whole body. He could clearly feel all the cells in his body frantically absorbing energy and metabolizing rapidly. A large amount of heat was released, and just before it could scorch his body, it was immediately soothed and absorbed by the new True Force Lin Fei was operating. He dared not be the slightest negligent, focusing all his mind on operating the True Force and the generated heat to resist.

"Huff.... huff huff...." A heavy breath emanated from beside Lin Fei.

"Sis, you’re still alive." Lin Fei turned his head to look towards the source of the sound. Not five meters away, a figure drenched in blood lay on the ground, with only one black wing remaining on its back, and even that was rapidly turning into black ash.

"I... will not die!" Sis struggled to prop up his body, "Angel! Angel’s last wish!! I must fulfill it!" he roared in a low voice. His whole body was already soaked with blood.

A chill ran down Lin Fei’s spine. Sis’s situation was better than he imagined. Although there was still a small portion of Yan Shi’s Potential Energy not yet dissipated in his body, allowing rapid body transformation for a long time, such moments called for abandonment. If he let Sis prepare first, he would definitely not escape unscathed. The information about Sis rivaled his cruelty to both himself and his enemies. As long as he was alive, he posed a tremendous danger!

"Forget it." Lin Fei sighed with some regret. All the Potential Energy inside him burst out instantaneously. Countless blue flames swarmed out, exploding suddenly like a spherical blue firework.

As the blue firework faded, countless shadows also burst instantly. Suddenly, the world fell into silence, except for the ground marred beyond recognition and the bodies along with two living people lying on top. It seemed to have returned to its initial tranquility.

The wind rustled the leaves in the forest, creating a whooshing sound of the tide.

Lin Fei slowly propped himself up, but suddenly realized something was amiss.

**************

Nanning Province, Fengyang City

Shueisha provincial headquarters

In an extraordinarily luxurious office, a middle-aged woman with glasses sat quietly in front of a desk, her hands continuously typing on a keyboard.

"How is it being handled?" a middle-aged man whispered beside her.

"Basically no problem. Up to now, as per the orders from above, all the information regarding the president of Ping City has been re-edited, and the people from the intelligence department have also pruned all relevant information, modifying it to his original identity. From joining to the end, actually not many people knew about his identity. The vast majority only knew of a member named Lin Fei who was a genius, but due to Lu Jun’s proper handling, many people are unaware of his real family, so creating an effect of just having the same name and surname is feasible," the woman said, adjusting her glasses.

"I’ve already had some people from the branch sign a top-secret agreement, and I found that Lin Fei’s portraits from a few months ago and now have a notable difference in appearance, which can serve as a point of revision. Regarding the Tower of Glory, only Shunyan and that pervert Sis had contact with him," the man said gravely. "But now with such a big event at the Tower of Glory, there’s definitely no problem."

"What’s the codename or new name planned?"

"Let him decide. But if that superior hadn’t arrived in time, all our work would have been in vain," the man said with a bitter smile. "It took so many geniuses to get this done, we in Nanning Province produced a seed not easily. We cannot let it die off so quickly."

"As long as the early stages are handled well, there basically won’t be any issues. Given his speed of progression in Martial Arts, those forces definitely won’t believe that another genius appeared so easily. Geniuses don’t come around easily! Especially one who could reach D-level so young," the woman paused, then continued, "And most importantly, he’s still in his developmental phase, with great changes in appearance, and our actions are very timely. Originally, not many knew about his identity and family, and since he returned from his mission in South Korea, all information has already been classified top secret by the National Security, so completely sealing it off, the effect is very good. Additionally, the written directive from above also came down regarding the Energy Scepter, indicating that it’s not our concern. Our strength is too weak; it’s best not to get involved in these matters."

"Just hope it’s not like that one in the east who died under a sniper’s bullet, such a pity," the man lamented.

Smack!

The woman forcefully hit the enter key. 𝑓𝘳𝘦𝑒𝑤𝑒𝘣𝘯ℴ𝘷𝘦𝓁.𝑐𝑜𝑚

"Okay, starting from now, the branch president of Ping City will be a mysterious person who resembles Lin Fei."

"The original relationship should follow Old Master Zhao’s intention; let’s change it to his godson. That should also give everyone a valid reason."

****************

Lin Fei stared blankly at his hands, propped on the ground—pale and slender, his skin like ivory. The lingering scars from his sword training had completely vanished.

"You... who are you?" Sis’s voice woke him up again.

Lin Fei raised his head to see Sis sprawling on the spot, staring at him intently.

"Are you the same as before?"

"Who do you think I am?" Lin Fei chuckled lightly. Holding the ring by his side, he walked toward the nearby river. He realized that his appearance might have been greatly altered by Yan Shi’s potential energy. Although he had anticipated it, seeing the reflection in the water made Lin Fei realize why Sis looked so peculiar.

In the clear water, an exquisitely beautiful face emerged in front of Lin Fei. What stunned him, however, was not just the face, but the familiar sensation it evoked.

It resembled Yan Shi by thirty percent, Jiu’er by sixty percent, and his original features were barely a shadow.

"Is this your obsession?" Lin Fei gently touched his face. "Even in the depths of my subconscious, the part of Jiu’er is much larger than my own, even the potential energy contains this aspect."

"Cough cough..." Sis started coughing again in the distance. Obviously, he was seriously injured.

Lin Fei was silent for a moment. He disliked this somewhat feminine face; being too dazzling often meant that enemies would immediately focus on him. It wasn’t really safe.

"I am going to die... Angel... I think I see the young you..." Sis moaned loudly from behind. "I don’t want to die... I... I don’t want to die yet..."

Lin Fei turned and walked back to him. This man, previously extremely handsome, now had none of his original grace. His blood had coagulated, forming a layer of crimson skin wrapping around him. His blond hair was a messy, indescribable mess.

"Angel..." Seeing Lin Fei, Sis looked as if he had seen new hope, his gaze blank as he slowly extended his hand toward Lin Fei, all previous madness gone.

A faint blue light emanated from Lin Fei’s eyes, clearly seeing that Sis still had a small part of potential energy lingering behind him, indicating that he was not as troubled as he seemed.

"Get up, we can have a proper talk."

At times maniacal, at times lucid, Sis’s wings disintegrated into countless ashes behind him, and he knelt on the ground, as if the most devout believer worshiping God.

Just like the first time he met Annie, the pure and beautiful radiance was so intense he couldn’t look directly at it. But reason also told him that Angel had already died, no one could escape the passage of time, even if he searched the whole world for treasures to extend her life, it would be the same.

"Not to hate because of inferiority, but to seek cleansing through proximity because of it. Sis, your life has already been pure enough," Lin Fei said compassionately, looking at Sis kneeling before him.
