Chapter 122

"Do you think I am a hero and should get such luxurious treatment?" Li Zhangzhou looked at Li Yuan.

"In the entire human civilization, how many resources can be wasted so luxuriously on you?"

"I understand your heart, and I am even more gratified, but the approach is not very appropriate."

"My medical treatment is completely free, except for a one-time subsidy of 400,000, there is disability assistance every month, and free healthcare, and I am expected to live to 70 years old... I am already very satisfied, the country has done enough for me."

"Just like I told you last time, I never regret my choice," Li Zhangzhou's voice softened a bit, not as severe as just now.

Li Zhangzhou understood in his heart that what Li Yuan did was out of filial piety and for his own sake.

"Uncle, you are right."

"However, if you hadn't been cut in line when Base No. 3 was relieved, you could have come back earlier," Li Yuan finally couldn't help it. "It might not have reached that situation later, almost dying."

"Little Yuan, do you really think so?" Li Zhangzhou sighed lightly.

Through the light screen, he could see through Li Yuan's heart.

Li Yuan looked at his uncle.

This was indeed the thought that Li Yuan had after learning the truth, and it had even bred some dissatisfaction.

"Little Yuan."

"You are right, it was wrong for someone to use some privileges to leave early at that time, and they should be held accountable," Li Zhangzhou did not refute Li Yuan.

Li Zhangzhou continued: "I just hope that you won't be extreme because of this and imagine everything as so dark."

Li Yuan fell silent.

"Today, if the 16 million you spent was earned by yourself, I would be willing to accept the treatment."

"But spending the rewards given by the country, it is more hoped that you will use them to become strong quickly, rather than just letting me live a little longer. Your starting point is good, but the cost is really too high. Perhaps if you used it, no one would blame you," Li Zhangzhou sighed lightly. "But I don't want to accept it."

"Uncle." Li Yuan looked at Li Zhangzhou.

"You should understand that fairness is only relative," Li Zhangzhou sighed lightly. "People have selfishness and desires, and I have them too."

"You want me to live longer, you want our family to be better, and I feel very happy."

"It proves that your heart is good."

"It proves that the country's choice to focus on cultivating you was not wrong."

"But in my matter, I don't want it to be like this, and I'm not about to die, I'm only in my forties," Li Zhangzhou looked at Li Yuan.

Li Yuan fell silent.

Li Zhangzhou didn't say much more, just looked at Li Yuan quietly; he knew that some things could only be figured out by Li Yuan himself.

For a long time.

"Uncle." Li Yuan finally spoke again, muffled: "Later, when I become a martial artist and truly start roaming the Star Realm, I will use the money I earn myself to come and treat your body."

Li Zhangzhou's body had no major problems, just severe damage to his vitality.

"You don't need to take physical therapy too much to heart," Li Zhangzhou shook his head gently. "Life is rare since ancient times, to be able to walk through the Star Realm, to be able to live past seventy without major illness or disaster, I am satisfied enough in my heart."

"I don't want to say too much either."

"You have grown up, and you handle many things better than me, but you haven't experienced as much after all," Li Zhangzhou said softly. "This world is indeed not completely bright."

He could see that Li Yuan hadn't fully accepted his ideas.

"Many disgusting dealings, you may have never heard of."

"There are many evil people, perhaps you have never seen them."

"You are a martial arts genius, so most people are kind to you, and the disgusting things are hidden."

"The evil you see is just the tip of the iceberg," Li Zhangzhou said.

In the past, he didn't want to say too much similar to his nephew.

Because he hoped Li Yuan could realize it himself.

But today he vaguely understood.

His nephew was growing too fast, his strength was growing too fast, and he was at a critical stage of shaping his worldview and values.

If some words were said today, it might be too late to say them in the future.

"Later, you will see more things that disgust you."

"Uncle only hopes you remember one sentence," Li Zhangzhou looked at Li Yuan: "Walk in the sunlight, don't always stare at the little darkness in the cracks."

"We came to this world, not to be in the same boat with darkness," Li Zhangzhou said. "If you feel darkness, then strive to use your way to shine light into it."

Li Yuan was stunned, and his heart was touched more deeply.

Abruptly.

Li Yuan thought of Dongfang Ji, thought of the 'Seven Star Alliance Progressive Movement' told in history books.

How similar it was to what his uncle said.

Not long after.

Li Yuan hung up the communication with his uncle.

This conversation was short, not long, but the impact on Li Yuan's soul was unprecedented.

"In the sunlight, don't always stare at the darkness in the cracks," Li Yuan muttered to himself.

Li Yuan suddenly discovered that his past self seemed to have never truly recognized his uncle.

"Since after the college entrance examination."

"No!"

"Since being specially recruited by the Martial Hall, subconsciously, I always felt that my ability was already stronger than my uncle's, and I always felt that the decisions I made would be better than my uncle's," Li Yuan shook his head gently. "However, excluding my talent, excluding the specialness brought by the Heart Palace... Is my heart really stronger than my uncle's?" Li Yuan shook his head gently.

Perhaps, he had the determination and perseverance to cultivate hard, and that kind of madness for pursuing stronger strength.

In terms of hard work in cultivation, Li Yuan asked himself that he was no weaker than others.

But true strength of heart has never been just determination and perseverance.

It is a kind of belief.

A terrible belief that is indestructible and will not change its heart despite thousands of difficulties and dangers.

Subconsciously, Li Yuan thought of the night his uncle set off for the Star Realm again.

That very indifferent sentence.

"In this war, someone has to go, why can't it be me?"

It looked like a joke.

It looked inadvertent.

!.

But looking back, Li Yuan could only feel the terrible belief contained in his uncle's words.

"What I lack is such a belief," Li Yuan muttered to himself.

"For my family, for my uncle and aunt, for my younger brother and sister, I can give my all, even if I bet my own life," Li Yuan muttered in his heart.

"However, can I be like my uncle, experience so much, see so much, and still be calm?" Li Yuan asked himself.

No answer.

Everyone's heart is not simply changed by a reflection or a conversation.

Especially a teenager like Li Yuan, who is at a time when his mind is changing.

"I, indeed, cannot reach my uncle's level yet, and I cannot fully understand my uncle's ideas."

"Even, although I don't fully agree with some of my uncle's concepts, in the general direction, my uncle's ideas are not wrong," Li Yuan gripped the spear again.

"Just like my uncle said."

"The country, or rather the millions of ordinary people of the entire human civilization, work together to throw massive resources at martial arts geniuses like me, what we shoulder is not just the expectations of our family."

"It's not just our own desire to pursue strength."

"It's more about the hope of guarding all of humanity, Senior Dongfang Ji, Starfire... passing the torch, endless."

"A single spark can start a prairie fire."

"Perhaps, my uncle's ideas have something in common with some of Senior Dongfang Ji's ideas," Li Yuan waved the spear again.

Uncle Li Zhangzhou had been the most majestic figure in Li Yuan's heart since childhood, seemingly omnipotent.

Dongfang Ji, Li Yuan had never seen him, but since his youth, he had been Li Yuan's idol.

This moment.

These two figures with vastly different strength, status, and position, in Li Yuan's eyes, some images vaguely overlapped.

"Spear!"

Li Yuan waved the spear involuntarily, and in his mind, Teacher Xu Bo suddenly appeared.

The teacher's severed arm was because of the Star Realm war.

He thought of Teacher Fan Jin who had just passed away yesterday, thought of the hero stories told by the teacher with emotion in the general knowledge class, thought of the heroic spirits and predecessors who died... These countless figures seemed to come alive in an instant.

Truly reflected in Li Yuan's mind.

"My spear."

"My martial arts."

"One day, when I hold the spear in my hand, I will sweep away all darkness and completely return peace to the entire human civilization," unconsciously, such a thought appeared in Li Yuan's heart.

And as time passed, this thought of his became increasingly strong and unstoppable.

The past Li Yuan often had similar thoughts.

However, it was more like a teenager's idea of 'I want to be a great hero' or 'I want to be a scientist'.

It was more about simply wanting to be, but not fully understanding 'why I want to be'.

Today, Li Yuan vaguely understood 'why I want to do it'.

Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!

Li Yuan's spear danced, his strength exploded, vast and mighty.

It looked similar to his previous spear techniques.

But unconsciously, it had begun to undergo essential changes.

This moment, Li Yuan's heart was unprecedentedly in tune with the spear.

A quarter of an hour, half an hour.

One hour.

Two hours, Li Yuan cultivated crazily, completely immersed in it, completely obsessed.

Abruptly.

A flash of inspiration flashed through Li Yuan's heart, and the spear in his hand exploded in an instant.

A dazzling spear light flashed by, the spear light bloomed in layers, gorgeous to the extreme, like a huge meteorite falling from the sky, the power was unstoppable, far exceeding any spear of Li Yuan's past.
