I practice martial arts by adding skill points in modern city-Chapter 616: 【196】The grand finale is both an ending and a brand-new beginning_6

It might be that his life reached its end, dying outside of old age.

Or perhaps dying in an ancient civilization ruin that they discovered.

Apart from Lei Lin, Jostar has not returned since his last trip to Wilson Castle with Ponken Wilson.

Adding on the fact that the East District prison boss Wang Longhu had also left, leading to there being no true Super Martial Artist in Hexagon Prison now.

Roy, the sage, couldn't help but sigh, there's a sign that the grand spectacle of Super Martial Artists cultivated over the years in Hexagon Prison is about to dissolve away.

And at this time, Chi Ming arrived from afar from the east.

Through conversation, Roy, the sage, learned that he was actually a disciple of Wang Longhu.

He couldn't help but open up conversationally, taking rare time to chat casually with Chi Ming.

All the inmates in Hexagon Prison knew that Roy was a cold elderly person, like an iceberg.

Naturally unsmiling, and never saying more than ten sentences to others.

This time, to chat so much with Chi Ming, Chi Ming could become famous from this alone.

Winning the honorable title of 'Roy's chat companion'.

"Terrifying, Master reached such a level, is there anyone on this planet who can match him?" Chi Ming couldn't help but ask.

He originally thought the gap between him and Wang Longhu was just a mere Three Elixirs and Four Breaks level.

But now, hearing from Roy, the sage, this gap essentially felt like comparing the whole atmosphere to the Mariana Trench.

"Maybe there's one, but I don't know who would win if they came to face each other."

Roy gazed upward at the ceiling, a towering invincible figure surfaced in his mind.

That man was unanimously recognized as the strongest creature on earth by all Super Martial Artists in unknown countless years.

His physical strength was said to be overwhelmingly crushing.

If Wang Longhu was the top representative of Spiritual Mind Masters.

That man was the top representative of Physical Martial Arts.

Spiritual Telekinesis vs Physical Power.

Who's stronger or weaker, Roy, the sage, couldn't really say, because as he believed:

'The truly powerful is always humanity itself, not any particular cultivation route'

"Who?" Chi Ming asked.

"A man named Lei Hong, if one day you are fortunate to see him in person, you will realize just how strong he is."

...

On New Year's Eve, in the mountains of Sichuan and Chongqing.

Two mounds completely merged with the earth, covered in wild grass.

The headstones inserted on the mounds were eroded almost beyond recognition, crooked, with wording blurred beyond recognition.

A tall silhouette silently stood before the headstones, expressionless with a hint of silence.

"Father, Mother, your unfilial son has come to see you."

Lei Hong carried two jars of wine, kneeling before the headstones, slowly pouring them in front.

"I forgot how many years it's been since I last came to find you, luckily, when I buried you back then, I chose a place remote enough, now even the land development hasn't reached you."

Lei Hong chuckled, after pouring the wine, he began to carve on the headstones with his hand.

Before his fingers, the stone material was soft like tofu, carving out the original inscriptions.

The names of his father and mother.

"Father, Mother, all these years, I finally found someone like me, the world is finally not dull, within decades I might leave this planet,

if by then I can still come back alive to see you, even I can't be certain, if one day I die in the universe, you two can only self-rely here."

Lei Hong sat cross-legged on the ground, speaking earnestly to the two mounds.

The mountain was serene, there was no hint of the New Year's atmosphere.

But for Lei Hong, he was already used to it, New Year had long become just a conceptual word for him.

Whether celebrating it or not, it was just another year, what's the difference?

When a human's life span becomes long enough, everything seems particularly dull to them.

For any new thing, as long as it persists for tens of thousands of hours, it becomes numb and weary.

...

Bang! Bang! Bang!

Bo! Bo! Bo!

New Year's Eve.

Wang Longhu stood on his balcony, gazing at the night sky.

As it approached midnight, the entirety of Dong County seemed to spring like clockwork, began to operate.

Every household started lighting up fireworks and firecrackers, various splendid fireworks exploding open under the night sky, colorful and enchanting.

The air suffused with the smell of firecrackers burning, though slightly pungent, it was a classic New Year's scent in countless memories.

He remembered when young, Wang Longhu would go out to light firecrackers specifically for children.

Like sparklers, little firecrackers thrown after striking a light or so.

But as he grew, each year older than the last, he lost that childlike innocence.

Inside the room, the computer screen was playing "Unforgettable Night" from the Spring Festival Gala.

Symbolizing classics, symbolizing reunion, symbolizing family joy and good wishes for the upcoming new year 2024.

The hosts began counting down, a new year, the brand-new 2024 was about to arrive.

Wang Longhu took a deep breath, quite emotional.

This past year, too many events occurred, allowing him, originally a terminal lung cancer patient with one foot in the grave, to regain new life.

Not only granted an entirely new life, but becoming the strongest on this planet.

The wonders of fate, none can predict.

"After this New Year, I'm going to explore Kara Apa city in Shambhala." Wang Longhu muttered to himself, gazing at the sky.

The Wilson family gained a lot from the Kukulkan relics.

With ancient civilization technology, their black technology reserves were undeniably impressive.

Just looking at the energy shield capable of withstanding Lei Hong's peak punch showed clearly.

Among these ancient civilization ruins, the most precious aren't treasures that merely fortify individuals.

But the technology capable of accelerating entire races' technological advancement.

Once humans grasp those alien technologies, it would be enough to rapidly elevate current technological levels.

Although unclear on how far the Wilson family's alien technology reserve has developed, Wang Longhu needed to hasten too.

For a strong person, power must be firmly held in one's own hand, otherwise there lies the risk of being overturned someday by laggards.

Ring! Ring! Ring! Ring!

When the time reached 0:00.

Wang Longhu's phone popped up a large amount of message notifications instantaneously.

[Ye Yuanpei: Happy New Year, Wang Longhu]

[Lin Haitao: Happy New Year]

[Peaceful: Happy New Year [Two Hands Together]]

[Changfeng Daoist: Longhu, here to send New Year's greetings, also my master wants me to convey New Year wishes to you]

…

Countless messages, at least a hundred, making Wang Longhu's eyes dizzy.

These were from people he met from traveling and practicing martial arts since April last year.

Over the past year, Wang Longhu met people from all corners, domestically and overseas, indeed wonderful.

Replying one by one, Wang Longhu twirled his fingers on his phone.

Not knowing what Lei Hong was doing on this planet at this moment.

As someone born during the Yuan Dynasty, does he still celebrate New Year?

"Longhu, quickly prepare, your father and I are heading to Putuo Temple to burn incense."

His mother's reminder came from inside the house, Wang Longhu put away his phone and walked briskly back indoors.

"Understood."
