True Solution of the Sword Dao

"What's wrong? Why haven't you changed your clothes yet? We're about to eat, hurry up!"

Jiang Feng gently pushed Lin Fei's back, "Hurry and get ready, we have things to handle later."

"Oh..."

Hurriedly dressed in his black and white high school uniform, Lin Fei almost nostalgically gulped down his meal.

It wasn't until Jiang Feng left the house to run errands that he finally began to sober up and sorted out a part of the clues.

Sitting casually on the sofa, flipping through TV channels, he methodically organized the information he now possessed.

"Firstly, I've returned to my second year of high school, which means it must be seven years ago. This is beyond doubt, as my current physical condition perfectly matches that of my high school sophomore year.

Secondly, this should not be the original world completely."

Lin Fei silently watched the extraordinarily clear words "Hua Nation Chronicles" on the TV.

The program name to some extent explained the confusion Lin Fei saw on the calendar earlier.

He was originally just an ordinary, unremarkable young graduate, having entered the workforce only a few years after graduating from a second-tier university, attending normal primary and secondary schools.

He was the epitome of the average person, with no ripples or twists. Everything was just bland and uneventful.

His father, Lin Jianguo, was a common small bookstore owner, and his mother, Jiang Feng, was a primary school teacher at a school.

His sister, Lin You, on the other hand, was an exceptionally brilliant, universally adored, unbeatable beautiful girl.

He had thought his life would remain unremarkable and featureless.

However, at the end of his life, he suddenly encountered a situation that seemed to belong only in movies.

Recalling the man with fiery red hair, Lin Fei remembered.

In that fleeting moment, he saw his sister with three people, and between them and the man, there was a huge cluster of flames and blue mist intertwining.

This was why he was initially stunned, thinking it was a movie shoot.

He was an ordinary man to the extreme, who liked reading novels and occasionally indulged in small fantasies.

In that scenario, it was clear that Lin You was no ordinary person.

First, why did all the corpses litter the ground, yet only Lin You managed to survive?

Why did the tragedy occur in their home and not somewhere else?

And what about that fantastical mist and flames?

The root of it all could very well be that his sister Lin You was not ordinary.

Or rather, even if she was ordinary, she must be connected in some unknown way to those extraordinary individuals.

This connection might well be the direct cause of their parents' and his own demise.

"It might sound extreme, but the way Lin You screamed at that time made me feel she definitely knew something.

So, if Lin You isn't ordinary..."

Sitting on the sofa, Lin Fei rapidly analyzed in his mind. He was intelligent, just lazy with no life goals until now, but when he focused his full attention, his thoughts cleared quickly.

"I remember in my senior year of high school, Lin You suddenly became inexplicably excited for a period, lively in spirit, and there were rumors at school of her walking with some unfamiliar adults.

The school teachers even called home several times to warn us, but all that ceased after mother Jiang Feng called Lin You in for a talk.

I still recall her words at that time—'I understand.'

Just that, and no matter how Jiang Feng questioned her afterward, she remained silent. No more bad rumors emerged at school after that."

"My senior year, just before the college entrance exams, and the time Lin You was about to enter high school, that might have been when things started to change. This possibility is very likely."

Lin Fei carefully reminisced. For his sister, who was infinitely more brilliant and outstanding than him, he had also been silently observant many times. So these memories were relatively clear.

"That is to say, does this world still contain an Inner World I completely didn't know about before?

The existence of those flames and blue mist, they absolutely couldn't be an illusion. To immobilize someone who had practiced combat skills for a while to strengthen his physique, where could one easily encounter such a person!"

Back then, he had specifically trained in defensive combat techniques to strengthen his physique.

Knocking out one or two of his agemates was not a big challenge for him, after all, he had trained hard in practical techniques for four years since university.

He had affirmed the truth of what he saw before he died.

Lin Fei suddenly felt as if his entire worldview had dramatically collapsed.

"Even I have a day of rebirth. Then those incredible movie scenes are real and acceptable too."

He closed his eyes, feeling the frail yet vibrant life force of this body.

"Following inertia, if I remain unaware and change nothing, perhaps this life will still replay the scene before my death.

I have seven years to live, even if heaven allowed me to be reborn seven years ago, what right does an ordinary person like me have to change everything?"

He asked himself with self-mockery.

"But this boring world finally has some new tricks.

What are those flames and mists? Supernatural powers? Magic? Or Immortal Technique?

Forget it, no matter what it is, I should just keep living diligently, honoring my parents.

Existing in this world, I rely on my parents for sustenance and growth, which is a debt. So repaying this part of my duty is something I ought to do, and must do.

If there is a chance later, I'll see if I can find a way to turn things around.

After all, I am going to die... Neither reason nor emotion allows me to retreat."

Facing an unknown world, Lin Fei felt somewhat fearful and also faintly excited. It was an unease etched deep into his bones.

He didn't know why he felt excitement, by logic, shouldn't he feel afraid at such a time?

Unfortunately, he didn't have time to regain his senses.

A massive, inexplicable shockwave suddenly burst forth from his mind.

The excitement from before had opened Pandora's box, triggering some unknown switch. 𝓯𝓻𝓮𝙚𝙬𝓮𝙗𝒏𝙤𝒗𝙚𝙡.𝒄𝒐𝓶

An influx of countless pieces of information instantly rushed into Lin Fei's mind. In an instant, he understood why he had been reborn.

The true reason for his rebirth.

It was because of that old book he had once acquired, which had mysteriously disappeared—the Sword Dao True Solution.

That strange book, which, no matter how often he took it out, mysteriously made him reluctant to open it.

It was merely an old book he had casually found in an online shop. Originally thought to be a relic from the Qigong craze era, but the plethora of information now streaming into his mind made Lin Fei realize that there was clearly something wrong with this book.

"The essence of the sword is to sever! Sever all!! Place yourself in mortal peril, then seek life thereafter!! For all who block my path—no thoughts! No memories! No desires! Sever!! Sever!! Sever!!!"

Those three severing words were powerful and disdainful of all,

That was the first piece of information that entered his mind.

Simply recalling it sent jolts through Lin Fei's body; he quickly diverted from that part and continued to explore the gentler segments that followed, which were much easier to handle.

"Sword Dao True Solution, the Royal Court's highest swordsmanship technique, those predestined should practice carefully! This sword technique is extremely radical and extreme, I have specially added a Qi Cultivation manual to moderate it."

At this point, Lin Fei managed to catch his breath a bit.

The opening to the Sword Dao True Solution, that overwhelming aura of killing everything and looking down on everything made him feel like he was sinking into an abyss, nearly suffocating him to death.

His entire body's functions had completely stopped for a moment. The latter part, apparently added by someone else as a Qi Cultivation section, significantly moderated his aura.

As a writer, arranging words naturally leads to associations. Just these associations alone could affect Lin Fei on a spiritual level, stalling his entire body's functions momentarily.

It's undeniable that this Sword Dao True Solution was extremely peculiar and terrifying. Just reading it affected him so, what troubles might arise should he delve deeper into it?

"Perhaps, this is the real meaning behind my rebirth?"

Lin Fei stabilized his energy, striving to control himself not to ponder the secret manual that caused his rebirth, lest its content again destabilize his aura.

Rebirth, with the sudden appearance of massive memory information.

Sword Dao True Solution... perhaps with it, he won't be just a helpless ordinary person anymore.

No matter what the outcome may be, this reborn world undoubtedly stirred countless tempests in Lin Fei's heart that had already been weary and gloomy.

He recalled the scene just before his previous death.

The image of a man in a black coat with long, fire-red hair etched itself deeply into his mind.
